Han Zheng's face gradually darkened, and the anger was obvious in his eyes.

He raised his eyes to look at Xu Jing, but found that her expression was as usual, as if she didn't know anything.

But even if this matter is related to her, it also shows that she is a character that cannot be offended.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Xu Jing asked in confusion, "Mr. Han, what did you just say about Yuanda?"

"It's nothing." Han Zheng smiled, "I just want to say that we really should sign the contract today."

These days, he deliberately took Xu Jing wandering around the city.

On the one hand, it was because Yuanda approached them first, and he couldn't refuse directly because of the strength of the other party.

On the other hand, he also wanted to take the opportunity to see Xu Jing's patience.

After all, if he is a good seedling, he can indeed take her with him in the future.

For this reason, he pretended to match Xu Jing and Shao Yichen, hoping to see how Xu Jing would react.

Being able to endure until now really shows that the child can hold his breath.

Since Yuanda is now full of scandals, it is understandable for him to turn to Yeshi now.

The two briefly discussed the general direction of cooperation, and the other details were handed over to the company's business department.

When Xu Jing came out of Han Zheng's office, she happened to run into Shao Yichen.

"Boss Han is inside." Xu Jing reminded kindly.

Shao Yichen looked straight at her, "I'm here to find you."

Xu Jing frowned slightly, "What do you want me to do?"

"Take a step to speak."

Seeing his serious expression, Xu Jing seemed to have something important to do, so she raised her heels and followed him.

Shao Yichen led her to a fire exit, and finally opened his mouth after making sure that there was no one around.

"Actually, I came to Ningzhou this time for you."

When Xu Jing heard this, she was not surprised at all, but calmed down instead.

Shao Yichen knew that it was useless to conceal, so he took a deep breath and told the whole story.

"My mother's name is Qiaoman, and she is engaged in geographical survey work. She never came back because she went out once. I was only seven years old at that time. Everyone said she died, but I didn't believe it. Over the years, I have been Investigating her whereabouts. After a lot of hard work, I only found one clue."

He paused suddenly, and his gentle handsome face turned cold, "At the last place where she disappeared, someone saw Gu Yanming."

Xu Jing narrowed her eyes slightly, "Patriarch of the Gu family?"

Shao Yichen hummed, and continued, "He and his mother have known each other for many years, and they fell in love with each other, but they were all rejected."

"So, you think Gu Yanming kidnapped your mother and trapped her in the Gu family?"

Shao Yichen nodded, "The Gu family's defenses are tight, and Gu Yanming has rarely shown himself in recent years, so I can't get close to him even if I try my best."

He paused, looking serious, "I know you know someone from the Gu family, I hope you can help me find out about the situation."

Xu Jing frowned slightly, "I don't want to get involved in your dispute."

"I understand." Shao Yichen smiled lightly, "I want to cooperate with you to create a win-win situation."

"What cooperation?"

"I'll help you deal with Xu Yuan, and you help me investigate the Gu family. How about it?"

Xu Jing pretended to be puzzled, "Mr. Shao, did you make a mistake? Xu Yuan is my biological father, why should I unite with others to deal with him?"

Shao Yichen looked calm, "You don't have to hide from me. I know what the Xu family did to you."

Seeing this, Xu Jing didn't intend to go around in circles anymore, so she spoke directly.

"I don't need your help. The grievances between me and the Xu family will be resolved by myself."

Shao Yichen was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "What happened in the Xu family today has something to do with you, right? Although all the clues have been erased, it is too coincidental that Xu Weiwei had an accident in the hotel where you are staying."

Xu Jing stared at him, her eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Shao Yichen is indeed an unusual character.

It is not a wise choice to become an opponent with such a person.

Although the Yuanda Group was temporarily traumatized, it has been in the business world for many years, and it will not be overthrown overnight.

Relying on Yeshi technology alone is definitely not enough.

Although Qin Ming will help her, his identity is always a mystery and cannot be completely relied on.

Shao Yichen has strategies and enough business means.

If he could have his help, Yuan Da would no longer be a threat to him.

Thinking of this, Xu Jing nodded, "Okay, I promise you."

Shao Yichen's condensed complexion finally eased, and he returned to his previous gentle smile.

That afternoon, Xu Jing asked Xiao Yang to buy a plane ticket and prepare to go back with Qin Ming.

Just before boarding, a message from Gu Ziqi suddenly came over.

"The aunt who takes care of Mother Xu is in Ningzhou."

Qin Ming knew that Xu Jing was very concerned about this, so he canceled the boarding and took her to the destination.

Along the way, Xu Jing was confused.

In the vague memory of my youth, there was indeed such a person.

She still remembered that the aunt was surnamed Chen and often chatted with her mother.

After her mother died of dystocia, she also left the Xu family and lost contact.

In my impression, Aunt Chen treated her very well, coaxing her to sleep every night, and often making snacks for her in different ways.

Even after losing her mother, she always looked forward to seeing Aunt Chen again.

Walking into the old residential building and climbing up the stairs, Xu Jing finally came to Aunt Chen's residence.

She was a little apprehensive, but also a little excited.

Qin Ming lightly squeezed her hand and gave encouragement with his eyes.

After Xu Jing adjusted her mood, she finally rang the doorbell.

The person who opened the door was a man, about 50 to [-] years old, with dark skin and short stature.

Seeing someone he didn't know, he waved his hands impatiently, "No insurance, no shopping, go away!"

Xu Jing smiled slightly, "Excuse me, does Chen Hui live here?"

The man's face froze, his eyes dodged, "What about Chen Hui and Liu Hui? There is no such person in our family!"

As he spoke, he quickly closed the door.

Qin Ming was faster than him and grabbed the doorknob.

The man panicked and couldn't help but shouted, "What are you doing? I'm going to call the police!"

"Is there such a person, let us go in and see?"

As Xu Jing spoke, she lifted her foot and walked in.

The man stretched out his hand to stop her, but Qin Ming stood aside.

Xu Jing looked around and found that there was a simple two-bedroom and one living room inside, and the door of one of the rooms was closed.

It seemed to hear a sound, and a weak female voice came from the room.

"Old Zhang, who is here?"

Xu Jing approached slowly, hesitated for a moment, and pushed open the door.

Half lying on the bed was a woman with a slightly fat body and a haggard face.

The moment she saw Xu Jing, she opened her eyes wide, but soon turned into a faint smile.

Although there are many wrinkles, but the iconic round face, the eyes are narrowed when he smiles, just like in memory, making people feel very friendly.

Xu Jing's eyes suddenly turned red, and she called out in a low voice, "Aunt Chen."

"Hey." She responded with a smile, her eyes slightly wet, "Has Jingjing grown so big?"

Xu Jing hummed lightly, and took a few steps closer to her.

Aunt Chen took Xu Jing's hand and looked at it carefully with a look of relief.

"I didn't expect Jingjing to become a big girl after so many years."

Seeing her pale face, Xu Jing asked tentatively.

"Are you sick?"

Aunt Chen's smile froze and she nodded, "Chronic diseases cannot be cured."

She paused, then raised her eyes again, "Are you here for your mother?"

Xu Jing stared at her closely, and asked her doubts that had been hidden for many years.
