The other side was quiet for a few seconds before Xiao Muzhen's slightly trembling voice came over.
"You mean... Yiyi has fallen into Tang Ruxing's hands?"
"Ah."
Xiao Muzhen smiled bitterly and immediately hung up the phone.
At this moment, she felt regret in her heart. If she had persuaded Huo Yiyi more that day, or discovered in time that Huo Yiyi was just perfunctory, maybe this incident would not have happened.
But now, she could only watch as Tang Ruxing snatched the Huo family away from Huo Yunting effortlessly, but she could do nothing.
This feeling of powerlessness is really terrible.
"Zhen Zhen, let's go. It will take several hours to get to Zheng Chuan's hometown from here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhuan was startled when he saw Xiao Muzhen's eyes turned red.
"what happened to you?"
Xiao Muzhen shook her head, "It's okay, let's go."
On the way there, Xiao Muzhen looked worried.
Xiao Zhuan hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help but said: "Zhen Zhen, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
"No, I'm just a little tired lately."
Seeing that her face was indeed a little tired, Xiao Zhuan touched her head and said, "I have really worked hard on you during this period. When Xiao's crisis is over, you can go out for a while and have a good rest."
"Ah."
When the two arrived at Zheng Chuan's hometown, they found that the door of his house was closed and it didn't look like there was anyone there.
After waiting at the door for a while, a passing villager aunt saw them, looked at them for a while and then said: "The Zheng family has gone back to visit relatives. It will take at least half a month to come back. There is no point in waiting here."
Hearing this, Xiao Muzhen said quickly: "Sister, do you know where their natal family is?"
The aunt shook her head, "I don't know."
"Then you and the Zheng family are from the same village. Do you know much about the Zheng family's affairs? For example, did their family suddenly become prosperous a few years ago?"
"How do you know?!" The aunt's eyes were full of surprise, and then she frowned, "But the eldest son of the Zheng family works in the capital, and the salary is extremely high. The Zheng family only slowly started working in the capital after his eldest son went to work in the capital. developed."
Xiao Muzhen nodded, "Well, indeed, Zheng Chuan used to work as the purchasing manager of the company, with an annual salary of 2.3 million yuan a year."
"Oh! There are so many! The Zheng family used to be famously poor in the village, but later they became the richest family in the village. Look at these three-story small foreign-style buildings. Zheng Chuan worked in the capital. It’s about time!”
The aunt said with envy and sourness in her eyes.
"It should cost a lot to buy such a house, right?"
"Of course!" The aunt didn't realize that Xiao Muzhen was trying to trick her at all, and said excitedly: "It's at least five or six hundred thousand, and I heard that their family also bought a suite in the capital. Zheng Chuan accidentally let it slip. , I asked again later, and she said that I had misunderstood, and she must be afraid that I would borrow money from him!"
"But... Zheng Chuan was also unlucky. Not long after the house was built, he died in an accident."
"Indeed... Auntie, thank you for telling me so much. If the Zheng family comes back, please contact me. This is my contact information."
Xiao Muzhen handed her her business card. Seeing that the other party kept looking at the jade bracelet on her hand when taking her business card, she took off the jade bracelet and handed it to her.
"Consider this a thank you gift."
Seeing that Xiao Muzhen was about to give her the jade bracelet, the woman was startled and quickly took a few steps back, "No, no, no, I am in the country every day and have to do farm work every day. I don't need such precious things. Wait. I will call you when the Zheng family comes back."
Seeing that the other party really didn't want it, Xiao Muzhen didn't insist. It might be more practical for her to thank her with money at that time.
"Okay, thank you ma'am."
"No thank you, no thank you! You city people are just polite when you talk."
After saying goodbye to the aunt, the two left here.
On the way back, Xiao Muzhen and Xiao Zhuan looked a little solemn.
"Third brother, Haoyu should have Zheng Chuan's family information. You can ask someone to check whether the Zheng family has a house registered in the capital."
If Zheng Chuan was really greedy for money to buy building materials, he would never put the house in his name, as it would be too easy to find.
"Ah."
As soon as he returned to the company, Xiao Zhuan received a call from his subordinate.
I don't know what the other person said, and his face became extremely ugly.
"Zhen Zhen, we found out that Zheng Chuan's brother has a villa with a market value of about 30 million."
Hearing this, Xiao Muzhen's face became extremely ugly. Now it was almost certain that there must be something wrong with the houses in Chunjiang Huacheng, and the Xiao family... would suffer a devastating blow!
"Let's not tell Dad about this yet... He hasn't recovered yet..."
Xiao Zhuan was silent for a few seconds and whispered: "I guess I can't hide it for long."
"When he is discharged from the hospital, we will find another opportunity to talk to him."
"Well, let's go upstairs first."
The two went directly to Xunzi's office and told her what they found.
After listening, Xunzi sighed, "Actually, I had a premonition."
"Mom, the most important thing now is how to remedy this."
Xun Zi looked at Xiao Muzhen, nodded and said, "You're right, let's check Xiao's current liquidity first. There are more than 3,000 owners. I'm afraid Xiao will not be able to compensate even if we spend all our money."
"I still have a little money here. If it's not enough by then, I'll make up some more first."
Compared with the compensation, Xiao Muzhen felt most heartbroken that those families had lived in a toxic house for so long.
"Just keep your money. There are several brothers above you, as well as me and your father. No matter what, it's not your turn to pay."
Xiao Muzhen didn't insist on this matter. If the money was really not enough, she could just take it out.
Xiao Zhuan looked at Xun Zi and said in a deep voice: "Mom, the compensation will come later. What I'm worried about now is how we will tell Dad about this... He is not in good health right now..."
"Don't worry about this. I'll tell you and your dad will accept it."
"Ah."
Even if you can't accept it, you must force yourself to accept it.
After all, if it weren't for Xiao's poor supervision, this kind of thing would not have happened, and Xiao also has an unshirkable responsibility.
"Okay, you are tired today. Go and rest. I want to think about what to do next."
The two returned to their workstations, and Xiao Muzhen looked at the documents on the table in a daze.
Suddenly, the cell phone in the bag rang.
Seeing that it was Shi Yiheng, Xiao Muzhen hesitated for a while and chose to answer the call.
"Hey?"
"Zhen Zhen, I can walk for half an hour today. Although it is still a bit hard, Mr. Yun said that in half a month at most, I will be fully recovered!"
