Chapter 80 Secret Lock Screen
In the evening, the sky is full of golden clouds, and the blue lake is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the rolling green mountains, the glazed pavilion spires, and the lush camphor trees. The orange sunset paints the lake, the evening breeze blows, and the floating light dances with gold.
The family stood on the long arch bridge, and grandpa held a camera to capture the unique scenery at sunset.
After leaving Yiming Garden, we went to a restaurant for dinner and then drove back to Wentang Palace.
Pei Yuning went back to the bedroom on the second floor to remove her makeup, then lay in the bathtub for a bath and massage. Going out to play was actually more tiring than working.
Grandpa sent her photos, and Pei Yuning clicked on the one of her and Shang Yanci. This was their second photo together, the first one was on their marriage certificate.
Pei Yuning saved the photos one by one in the album and stayed in the bathtub for half an hour. Then he came out and used the shower to rinse off the dense foam on his body.
After skin care, Pei Yuning lay on the bed, played with her phone for a while, and fell asleep.
Shang Yanci walked into the study, locked the door, and called Gu Yu.
In the afternoon, Gu Yu sent a message saying that he had found out some things about Xu Han, but Pei Yuning was around at that time, so he didn't talk in depth.
Gu Yu answered the phone and reported the contents of the investigation in an orderly manner: "President, Xu Han worked as a secretary for Pei Jinyan 22 years ago. In the same year, Jiang Minzhi got pregnant with my wife. Later, when my wife was four years old, Jiang Minzhi filed for a divorce. Six months later, Xu Han married into the Pei family and got married with a child. But when she was four months pregnant, she was hit by a drunk driver on the way to Pei Group to deliver documents to Pei Jinyan, and the child was aborted."
Shang Yanci asked in a low voice: "Was the car accident an accident or man-made?"
"It was an accident." Gu Yu considered what he was going to say next and said slowly, "But I suspect that the biological father of the child is not Pei Jinyan himself."
Gu Yu is a man of great intelligence, tact and discretion, otherwise he would not be able to sit firmly in the position of the first special assistant beside Shang Yanci. If he dares to say this, he must have sufficient evidence to support it.
Shang Yanci knocked lightly on the window, scaring away the insects outside: "Go on."
Gu Yu: "I found out that Xu Han would regularly give her sister Xu Zhenhui 10 million yuan in private funds every year, and this amount would be transferred to an overseas account by Xu Zhen first, and then transferred back from another overseas account to a man named 'Zhou Du' in China."
Gu Yu: "Later, I followed this line to investigate and found that Zhou Du was an unemployed vagrant, but he was involved in prostitution, gambling and drugs. I privately interviewed someone close to Zhou Du, and that person said that once Zhou Du got drunk, his friends who often played with him asked him if he had any way to make money quickly. He said he had a secret in his hand, and this secret was his inexhaustible cash cow."
Gu Yu: "I showed that person Xu Han's photo, and he said he had seen intimate photos of the two of them on Zhou Du's phone. If the two of them were just in a relationship, Xu Han would not have transferred 10 million yuan to Zhou Du regularly every year. This 10 million yuan is more like hush money that had to be paid to keep a secret."
Shang Yan Ci: "When is the time for remittance every year?"
Gu Yu: “Mid-June.”
Shang Yanci thought for a moment and ordered, "Find a few people to do some tricks at the poker table. Let Zhou Du win a few tens of millions, and then make sure that the amount he loses is more than 20 million. Then tell him about Xu Han's stay in the Y City sanatorium."
Gu Yu: "I understand, President."
People's desires are nurtured by themselves, and this is especially true for gamblers. Once they win money, they want to win more money. Their greed is insatiable and never-ending.
After Zhou Du lost the money, he heard about Xu Han's stay in the Y City sanatorium. He couldn't help but become suspicious and wondered if their secret had been known by the Pei family.
In this way, before Xu Han remitted money to him regularly, he would not take the initiative to look for her to avoid getting into trouble.
As for the lost 20 million, he could only find a loan with high interest to make up for the loss. As long as he found a loan with high interest, the subsequent problems would be solved easily.
Shang Yanci hung up the phone and saw the photos sent by his grandfather. There was only a photo of him and Pei Yuning. He replied: "Grandpa, send me the photo of Ningning alone as well."
Pei Yuning woke up. The night light was on in the bedroom. Shang Yanci was sitting on the head of the bed with a small square bottle in his hand. He had dipped his fingertips in a little transparent paste and was applying it to the butterfly tattoo on his chest.
She leaned over, put her arms around his waist, and said softly, "Ayan, what are you applying?"
Shang Yanci lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Tattoo repair cream."
Pei Yuning sat up: "I'll help you."
"Okay." Shang Yanci handed her the repair ointment.
Pei Yuning took it, took a tissue and wiped off the paste on Shang Yanci's fingertips, sat astride his arms, and applied it carefully to him.
Shang Yanci placed his palm on her waist and gently squeezed it. Looking at the serious expression on her face, he said slowly, "Madam, the wedding date has been decided."
Pei Yuning raised her eyes and looked at him: "When?"
Shang Yan Ci: "September 7."
Pei Yuning asked: "Have you given the fortune teller a red envelope?"
Shang Yanci: "It's all."
Pei Yuning smiled with a smile on her face, applied the repair cream on him, covered the small square bottle, and then used a tissue to wipe off the cream on her fingertips.
Shang Yanci leaned in and kissed her cheek: "I called Grandpa and Grandma and asked them where Madam would like to hold the wedding?"
Pei Yuning put her arms around his neck and nuzzled him affectionately: "Where do you want to hold your wedding?"
Shang Yanci: "I will follow my wife's wishes."
Shang Yanci wanted to hold one in northern Beijing, Pei Yuning wanted to hold one where she wanted to go, and one in France, but Pei Yuning had strong resistance to France, or in other words, she had strong resistance to Jiang Minzhi.
After listening to Gu Yu's investigation of Xu Han today, Shang Yanci intuitively felt that there must be a reason why Jiang Xinzhi filed for divorce that year, and this "reason" was most likely Xu Han. After all, she was the biggest beneficiary after Jiang Xinzhi and Pei Jinyan divorced.
Before thoroughly investigating the past of these three people, Shang Yanci did not intend to tell Pei Yuning anything to avoid upsetting her.
Pei Yuning thought for a moment and shook his head: "I have no idea."
Shang Yanci: "Then I will arrange for someone to pick out some suitable places and give them to you to choose from."
Pei Yuning: "Sure."
Shang Yanci: "I'll go make some vanilla milk, drink it and go to sleep. Tomorrow is Monday, so I need to get enough rest."
Pei Yuning blinked her beautiful eyes, pouted her red lips, and said in a sweet and coquettish voice: "Ayan, kiss."
Shang Yanci kissed her gently, held her in his arms and put her in the soft quilt, then went downstairs to boil some vanilla milk.
Pei Yuning picked up his phone and checked the time. He had slept for nearly two hours.
After playing with his phone boredly for a while, Pei Yuning clicked into WeChat and was about to check out his friends circle, but he saw that the first pinned WeChat profile picture of Shang Yanci had been changed to a photo of the two of them taken under the albizzia tree in the afternoon.
At the same time, Shang Yanci's cell phone rang. Pei Yuning took it and saw that the built-in lock screen in his phone had been replaced with a solo photo she took in front of the blue and white porcelain vase in the museum.
Shang Yanci must be very lucky to have such a beautiful wife.
The sound of the phone ringing just now was a text message alert. Pei Yuning followed his inertia, unlocked the phone with his fingerprint, clicked on it and saw that it was a spam message, so he deleted it.
Pei Yuning looked at the text message page, stunned for a moment, and then realized when she had recorded her fingerprints in Shang Yanci's mobile phone?
