Chapter 21
After picking three baskets of figs, the navigation road turned green, so the two decided to deliver the figs first and go back for dinner.
Chen Pu's parents lived in Hedong. When the car arrived at the gate of the villa area, he hesitated for a moment and asked Li Qingyao: "Do you want to go in and sit for a while?"
Li Qingyao looked at him as if he was a lunatic.
Chen Pu actually felt that it would be a bit awkward for him to meet his parents since they had only been together for three days, but since they were already at their doorstep, he couldn't help but be polite. Seeing her expression, he smiled and said politely, "Then next time, when you are ready." This showed his sincerity without doing anything stupid. He really thinks he is quite good at falling in love.
However, Li Qingyao was so ruthless that he didn't even say "next time".
Chen Pu called the nanny to come out and pick it up. The nanny was very considerate and didn't look into the car. She just smiled and asked, "Why don't you go back and sit for a while?"
Chen Pu finally couldn't hold it back, and said with a faint smile: "No, didn't you see there was someone else in my car?"
Li Qingyao turned his head and looked out the window, unable to bear to watch.
They went to Yuan Ling's clinic again. It was just after dinner and it was the evening business peak. Li Qingyao handed the fig to an apprentice and did not go in.
But Chen Pu had some thoughts in mind at this time, and asked: "Have you told your mother about our relationship?"
"Of course not."
Chen Pu turned the steering wheel and drove onto the main road: "Aunt Yuan knows it's okay again."
Li Qingyao deliberately said: "Aren't you afraid that she won't agree?"
Chen Pu had never thought about this possibility. He felt that Yuan Ling had always liked him. But on second thought, treating him as a godson and treating him as a son-in-law might be two different things. He also hesitated and said, "Let's take it slow." Let's wait until our relationship is more stable.
Li Qingyao held back and didn't laugh.
The two of them had a casual meal nearby. Chen Pu originally planned to drive home, but when he looked at the tall buildings on the road, which were magnificent and golden, he suddenly changed his mind and asked, "Do you want to go to my other house?"
Li Qingyao was curious: "Where is it?"
"There is one in Xingyue Bay, Binjiang Road."
"Is anyone else here?"
Chen Pu looked at her and said, "Of course not. It's my house and it's always been empty."
This was bought by his parents when he just entered the police academy. It is in the CBD area by the river, close to his family’s company. It is a large flat, fully furnished and equipped with everything. But he wanted to live with Li Jincheng at that time, but Li Jincheng was determined not to live in his house for free. It was also far from the Public Security Bureau, so he never came to live there. What my parents meant was that I could just leave it there and use it as my wedding house in the future.
Later, when Li Jincheng got into trouble, Chen Pu became stubborn again and insisted on living in Chaoyang Home, so he bought an old and dilapidated house. I haven't been to this house for several years. But it was cleaned regularly.
But now, he is in love with Li Qingyao, so things are different. Originally, Chen Pu's mind was full of brotherly love, and he was willing to accept self-torture and suffering. But now, looking at the house in Chaoyang Home, and thinking about the intimate scene between him and Li Qingyao in it, he felt... quite sorry for them. The house is too shabby. Doesn’t a girl need an atmosphere for love? Only Li Qingyao shared the same ideals with him and did not despise him.
Of course, you still have to live in Chaoyang Home. But Chen Pu felt that this vacant house was quite suitable as a temporary home for the two of them while they were dating.
As soon as he entered the community, Li Qingyao felt that this super high-end community was indeed a super high-end community, with deep courtyards and lush green plants. The property management staff he occasionally met were dressed in dignified uniforms and had sweet smiles. Chen Pu took her for a stroll in the community, and then they held hands and walked across a small bridge and a pond and entered the king-sized building.
The elevator goes up to more than 30 floors and then enters the home. This is a three-bedroom apartment of about 200 square meters. When it was being renovated, Chen Pu still had the air of a luxurious and arrogant young master. He did not like the luxurious five-star hotel style that the developer had come up with, so he had everything demolished and renovated it into a modern, simple and elegant style of grey, white and black. If it were now, Chen Pu would think that he was simply mentally ill back then. What style of living is not the same as living in it for a long time? Style is unimportant compared to wasting money.
However, Chen Pu quite likes the current decoration. He asked Li Qingyao: "How do you like this place? Do you like the decoration style?"
Li Qingyao was standing in front of the 270-degree floor-to-ceiling glass window, looking at the night view of the Xiangjiang River. To be honest, she quite likes this cold and ruthless decoration style, but her answer is: "It suits you very well."
Chen Pu couldn't tell whether her words were a compliment or a scolding, so he just took it as a compliment.
"I'll go make some tea, you sit down first."
When Chen Pu came back with the tea set, he saw Li Qingyao already sitting on the sofa, reading Ye Songming's notebook. Chen Pu saw that it was not too late, so he picked up another book and sat on the sofa next to her.
However, after watching for a while, Chen Pu felt uncomfortable. Of course, he still had to work extra shifts, but if he just sat there in silence and then sent people home after watching, that would be too much of a loss for him.
Li Qingyao was watching intently when suddenly the sofa next to him sank and a warm body squeezed in. This white leather single-seater sofa is very spacious, but it is still a bit crowded for two adults to sit on it, especially since Chen Pu has long legs and arms.
Li Qingyao glanced at him.
Chen Pu's face was very calm. He held her waist with both hands, lifted her up and put her on his thighs. Then he put one arm on the armrest of the sofa and picked up the notebook with the other hand. He said, "What are you looking at me for? Working overtime."
Li Qingyao stared at him for a few seconds, and he stared at the notebook, as if he didn't notice. Li Qingyao then turned around and continued to look at his own.
The night is dark and the lights are dim. The river outside the window flows slowly eastward, with ships occasionally passing by. The light in the living room was bright and white. Li Qingyao nestled in Chen Pu's arms, while Chen Pu leaned on the sofa, each of them looking at a piece of evidence. Chen Pu was not distracted at all and was watching very attentively. When it was time to turn the page, he would put his arms around her and turn the page. Sometimes, his free hand would be on her waist, and sometimes, he would intertwine their fingers and clasp their hands together on the sofa.
Li Qingyao didn't think that his hard muscles and bones were more comfortable than a leather sofa. She had to move occasionally, adjusting her posture and position, and later she simply sat sideways, resting her head on his chest and curling up her legs. Chen Pu put his arm around her with one hand and rested his chin on the top of her head.
After watching for about half an hour, Chen Pu frowned and patted her arm: "Look at this."
Those were several medical records stapled together, dating from February to April 2017. The patients all had the same name, "Li Yu," with an age of 21 and a disease of diabetes. The prescriptions below are either hypoglycemic drugs or hypoglycemic injections.
Chen Pu pointed to the bottom of the page, where the signature was.
Li Qingyao's eyes suddenly widened.
The person who signed for Li Yu to get the medicine was Liu Huaixin.
She turned back again—
Page 2: Liu Huaixin.
Page 3: Qian Chengfeng.
Page 4: Qian Chengfeng,
Page 5: Liu Huaixin.
Li Qingyao flipped the yellowed thin papers over and over again, then looked up at Chen Pu. Chen Pu's eyes were clear and sharp.
When the police station's clerks were checking these evidences, they might have missed these receipts; or they might have seen them but did not pay attention to them. Because these two names are not related at all.
Chen Pu said: "It seems that Qian Chengfeng is the second one among the three people."
"But who is this Li Yu?"
