Antique Dealer

Chapter 139 Deception
While the two were talking, they walked into the yard. Fang Hao noticed that there were a variety of beautiful trees and plants planted in the yard. Unfortunately, it is winter now, and it looks a bit depressed. If it is spring and summer, it must be a different scene. .

In addition, there is a small pavilion in the yard where you can enjoy the cool air and chat. When there are many people, you can sit here and wait for a seat.

Tang Mingshan said that this private restaurant has a good reputation in the Xijing old food circle, and the Xijing cuisine is very authentic. Its owner is a friend of Zhao Lei's father, and because of this, it is still possible to book a private room during the closing time in the afternoon.

Walking into the house, Fang Hao found that there were no customers in the lobby, and the waiters were either resting or doing their own things, but he happened to see a waiter walking into a private room on the right with a plate of dishes.

"It's probably the boss's friend there."

Tang Mingshan said something casually, and brought Fang Hao to another private room.

"Boom!" Tang Mingshan knocked on the door: "Uncle, I brought Fang Hao."

"Please come in."

Tang Mingshan pushed open the door and walked in. Fang Hao followed to the door and noticed an old man who looked over 60 years old with gray hair staring at him excitedly. Presumably this should be Zhao Lei's father Zhao Shuo.

In addition, there are two people on both sides of Tang Mingshan, Liu Hongwei on the left, and a 23-year-old girl on the other side, both of them looked at him in amazement.

Fang Hao remembered that the girl had met at a small roadside restaurant before, and she was a friend of the girl who ran away screaming.This made him feel a little strange, why didn't the reaction come?
Tang Mingshan felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right, so he took the initiative to say: "Fang Hao, let me introduce you, this is Zhao Lei's father."

"Hello, Uncle." Fang Hao stepped forward and shook hands with the old man. Although he was not sure yet, he guessed that it was almost the same.

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Shuo held Fang Hao's hand, unable to say anything else for a long time, and tears began to well up in his eyes.

Seeing that his brother-in-law was very emotional, Liu Hongwei advised him: "Brother-in-law, please control your emotions, people will not run away here."

Zhao Shuo reacted, let go of Fang Hao's hand with some reluctance, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I was too excited, didn't I hurt you just now?"

Fang Hao smiled: "It's okay."

Tang Mingshan continued to introduce.

Fang Hao shook hands with Zhao Xiaorui lightly and let go: "If I remember correctly, we met at noon, right?"

"Yes, but I was looking at my phone at the time, and I found out about it through my friend later." Zhao Xiaorui was still amazed, obviously not twins, how could they look so similar?
"May I ask, why did your friend react so strongly at that time?" Fang Hao couldn't figure out why the girl reacted so strongly. If you don't do anything wrong and don't be afraid of ghosts, what could that girl do to Zhao Lei? ?
"It's because she's timid." Zhao Xiaorui also felt that Liang Yuwen's reaction was weird, but based on her understanding of her best friend, apart from some gossip, she really had no special relationship with Zhao Lei.

"Who are you talking about?" Tang Mingshan asked curiously.

"You don't know me."

Zhao Xiaorui's attitude towards Tang Mingshan was not very good, and the reason was simple. When her first relationship was about to end, she was in a bad mood, so she asked Zhao Lei to go out for a drink to relieve her worries. Tang Mingshan was there that day, so she knew about it.

Tang Mingshan is straightforward, and he happened to know Zhao Xiaorui's boyfriend at the time. After hearing Zhao Xiaorui's complaints, he felt that the man was wrong, so he found an opportunity the next day and went to the man. He explained the reason and asked the man to treat him well. Zhao Xiaorui.

Unexpectedly, the man's self-esteem is very strong, thinking that Zhao Xiaorui's telling others about his relationship problems is disrespectful to him, so he simply broke up with Zhao Xiaorui.

Zhao Xiaorui originally thought that this relationship could last for a while, but because Tang Mingshan destroyed it with a mouse, she hated Tang Mingshan. Although she later found out that the man is actually a playboy, her feelings towards Tang Mingshan have always been It didn't get better.

"If you don't tell me, how do you know I don't know you?"

Tang Mingshan said: "To tell you the truth, I know most of Lei Zi's friends."

"Hey!" Zhao Xiaorui curled her lips, knowing that something was wrong, and took back what she said: "We are talking about my best friend, Liang Yuwen."

Tang Mingshan felt baffled: "Isn't she Leizi's girlfriend?"

"What! You are talking nonsense!" Zhao Xiaorui flatly denied, "We don't know about this!"

Zhao Shuo was also very surprised: "That's right, Xiao Lei never mentioned to us that he has a girlfriend."

"Ah! Don't you all know?" Tang Mingshan was shocked: "Impossible, I had dinner with them, and Lei Zi told me personally that Liang Yuwen was his girlfriend, and Liang Yuwen was obviously there at the time. If not, she Why didn't you raise any objections!"

Fang Hao thinks that Liang Yuwen is Zhao Lei's girlfriend, which is in line with his performance at noon, but the reaction is so strong, he thinks there must be something hidden.

Tang Mingshan's words made Zhao Xiaorui unable to sit still, she stood up and said, "I'll go out and make a phone call."

When Zhao Xiaorui hurried out of the door, Zhao Shuo said, "Do you think that girl will know the reason for Xiao Lei's suicide?"

Fang Hao had also been chatting with Tang Mingshan on WeChat before, knowing that Zhao Lei jumped off the building and left a suicide note. Zhao Lei said in the suicide note that his life was a failure, his work and life were not smooth, and he kept losing money buying antiques. He lost all the money he saved, and felt that life was meaningless.

If you just look at this suicide note, Zhao Lei is definitely not at the end of his life. In addition, he is relatively optimistic and not a depression patient. His father, relatives and friends can't figure out why he jumped off the building.

"Maybe."

Tang Mingshan asked Fang Hao, "When you saw Liang Yuwen at noon, did she react very much?"

"Yes." Fang Hao briefly described the scene at noon.

"Hey! There must be something wrong!" Tang Mingshan clapped his hands: "She is clearly guilty of being a thief!"

Liu Hongwei said with a serious expression: "Xiaoshan, don't say that. What if it has nothing to do with her and your words spread to other people's ears, which will affect her life?"

Tang Mingshan thought of the news about some girls committing suicide due to rumors on the Internet, and immediately admitted his mistake: "I made a slip of the tongue, but this matter is indeed a clue, I must ask Liang Yuwen!"

Liu Hongwei said: "If you ask, you must ask. I'm afraid the little girl won't say it."

At this time, everyone saw Zhao Xiaorui walking in angrily, and it seemed that it was exactly what Liu Hongwei said.

Zhao Shuo asked: "What did she say?"

"She said she was joking with Tang Mingshan that day." Zhao Xiaorui said angrily.

This kind of words is also deceiving the children, and no one present believes it.

After a while, Zhao Xiaorui calmed down a bit: "I'll think of a way to get her to tell the truth."

Zhao Shuo said: "Xiaorui, please."

"As you said, I should do these things."

Zhao Xiaorui sighed secretly, sure enough, the most difficult thing in the world is the human heart!

Putting this matter aside, Liu Hongwei poured Fang Hao a cup of tea, and then discussed the matter of admitting relatives.

Fang Hao said: "I have already told my dad that he will come over on the plane later today, and then do a paternity test. If there is no problem, then tell the old man. I don't know what you think?"

"To tell you the truth, your aunt's heart is not good now. I'm worried that she'll be too excited. If she has a heart attack, she will die. I still keep this matter from him."

Zhao Shuo went on to say: "Actually, our family knows that she was adopted, and she also wanted to find her biological parents, but when my father-in-law passed away, I didn't make it clear at the beginning, and it was very difficult to find them. , she still has some knots in her heart, so she hasn't put it into action these years."

"Understandable." Fang Hao nodded.

"It's a blessing to take this opportunity to solve this regret." Zhao Shuo murmured in his heart, "It would be great if Xiao Lei was still here!"

Liu Hongwei said, "By the way, do you know your birthday?"

Fang Hao said: "My dad told me that my aunt was born on the eighth day of May."

"That's basically the same." Zhao Shuo had a slight smile on his face.

In fact, based on Fang Hao and Zhao Lei's similar looks, everyone thinks that there must be no mistake. Now it's just a process, and there shouldn't be any accidents.

At this time, Tang Mingshan said he was going to the bathroom, got up and went out.

Zhao Shuo took a sip of tea: "Fang Hao, I invite you to come here today. I actually want to ask you to help me with something."

"Please say."

Zhao Shuo said: "That's the thing. My mother has always liked Xiaolei, and she also brought up Xiaolei. Now that she is getting old and suffering from Alzheimer's, her memory is getting worse and worse, but she still misses Xiaolei all the time.

In the past, when she lived at my place, she kept looking down and not looking up. She lived at my brother's place, and Xiaolei also went to see her every now and then, so there was no problem.Now, she hasn't seen Xiao Lei for more than two months, and we dare not tell her that Xiao Lei is gone, so she has been arguing to see Xiao Lei. The day before yesterday, she even ran away from home, if it weren't for my sister-in-law Found in time, it is likely to get lost.

So I can only trouble you, play a role, I don't know if it will work? "

Fang Hao smiled and said, "It's easy, I agree."

Zhao Shuo said happily: "Thank you so much, why don't you go to my brother's house after we have dinner?"

Fang Hao raised his hand to check the time: "It's still early, why don't we go now? We can make the old man happy earlier and stabilize her condition."

Zhao Shuo nodded and said, "That's right, it's just too much trouble for you."

Fang Hao said with a smile: "My family, don't be so polite!"

So, everyone got up one after another and walked towards the door, only to see Tang Mingshan brought someone in.
