CP is forcing me to have a wife, and the male protagonist asked me who he is

After receiving Xie Zhuxin's call, Ding Xiaomei's mother arrived earlier than she expected.

It had been nearly a year since they last met, and she had obviously aged a lot.

If she had tried hard to break into the Zhumi fan group last year and took the opportunity of the annual popularity awards to find Xie Zhuxin with Ding Xiaomei's diary, she still had some hope in her heart.

The lack of news over the past year must have been very tormenting for the mother.

He felt much weaker and even trembled when he walked.

But Ding Xiaomei's mother did not come alone.

There was also a young girl accompanying her.

She is not tall and very thin. She wears a belly-revealing tank top and has thick internet celebrity makeup on her face. It is almost impossible to tell her age.

The girl supported Mother Ding as they walked into the room. When she saw Xie Zhuxin and Wu Yinan, she curled her lips in disdain.

"Auntie, who is this?"

Wu Yinan asked.

"She is Xiaomei's old friend, and she offered to come with me this time."

Mother Ding slowly sat down on the chair.

"Ms. Xie, you asked me to come here. Is there any result for Xiaomei's matter?"

Xie Zhuxin turned around and exchanged glances with Wu Yinan, took a deep breath, and nodded slowly.

"I contacted several investigation agencies, but none of them found any evidence that Xiaomei's fall from the building was caused by human factors. I cannot rule out the possibility that it was an accident..."

Xie Zhuxin blurted out the lines he had prepared long ago.

Strictly speaking, she wasn't lying.

I have indeed contacted several investigation teams, but none of them has ultimately obtained conclusive evidence.

However, she concealed the key speculation given by the investigation agency that cooperated with Jingshi Group two days ago and did not tell Ding's mother.

So Xie Zhuxin talked for a long time, and it seemed that he mentioned a lot of clues, but in fact, he didn't come to any useful conclusion, it was all nonsense.

"Don't beat around the bush! Are you saying that Xiaomei jumped down because she was so depressed?"

Before Mother Ding could say anything, the young girl who came with her suddenly interrupted Xie Zhuxin in a harsh tone.

Xie Zhuxin's heart suddenly tightened, but he continued to speak in an official tone with an impeccable expression.

"I didn't say that. I just said that based on the clues we have so far, this might just be an accident..."

The girl jumped up from her chair and went to help Mother Ding up.

"Auntie, let's go! I've told you before that these rich people are all in the same group! How could they really stand up for Xiaomei? Your broken thigh bone hasn't healed yet, go back and lie down, don't waste time here with her!"

Xie Zhuxin finally couldn't control her expression and asked quickly.

"Broken thigh bone? Auntie, did you fall? Why didn't you tell me when we called to meet? I could have postponed the meeting..."

The young girl frowned and cursed over her shoulder.

"Don't be so hypocritical! We don't need..."

"Tongtong."

Mother Ding pinched the girl's arm to stop her from getting angry, then turned to look at Xie Zhuxin.

"Ms. Xie, I understand. Just pretend that I have never looked for you and we have never met.

"This is Xiaomei's life, and it's also my life. We won't drag you down."

After saying that, he left the room staggeringly with the help of the girl named "Tongtong".

Xie Zhuxin sat there, silent for a long time.

After a long time, she finally felt Wu Yinan reaching out his hand and gently stroking her shoulder.

"Why are you doing this? If you hide the most important information from them, they will think you are making excuses. How can they know how much risk you have taken for this?"

Wu Yinan felt sorry for Xie Zhuxin.

Dealing with the investigation team, spending time and money on the investigation, receiving phone warnings, and having to travel abroad to avoid the limelight...

I witnessed all of this with my own eyes, and this is the price Xie Zhuxin paid for this matter.

Not to mention the psychological trauma she suffered from witnessing the suicide.

Sister Shen once secretly told herself that it took a long time for Xie Zhuxin to get a full night's sleep after that incident.

"Yes, they have no idea how dangerous this matter is. And even if I tell them, what will happen? The more people know, the greater the risk of leaks."

Xie Zhuxin sighed deeply.

“Whether it’s the sons of the rich and powerful, or people like Ma Tianhua or Tan Yifeng who have deep backgrounds and are willing to do anything to achieve their goals, even I may not be able to deal with them, let alone them being able to provoke them.

"Fortunately, Mrs. Ding already has a new family and new things to look forward to, so it may not be that difficult for her to let go of this matter.

"If she must find someone to hate, let her hate me."

This is the result of Xie Zhuxin's thinking over the past few days.

As for Ding's mother, not letting her know too much is a form of protection for her.

Today, I saw that Mother Ding was in poor spirits and looked old, and her broken leg had not yet fully healed. This made me more convinced of this idea.

However, Xie Zhuxin himself did not intend to give up this matter completely.

The preliminary investigation conclusion has been reached, and the next step is to find evidence.

But this can't be rushed, and there is no guarantee that it can be found.

In order not to alert the enemy, Xie Zhuxin could only pretend to have given up on the surface and search carefully in secret.

As the only relative who cares about Ding Xiaomei's life and death, Ding's mother is too big a target and she is the first person he must hide the truth from.

So in order to stabilize the situation, Xie Zhuxin didn't mind becoming a bad guy in the eyes of others and being misunderstood to the end.

However, Rao was mentally prepared.

When she really faced Mother Ding's face and said those words that were obviously perfunctory to her, she still felt a dull pain in her heart.

Seeing her like this, Wu Yinan felt distressed.

"Do you want to go back to your hometown and rest for a while?"

Xie Zhuxin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Forget it, I have other things to do. Recently, Sister Gu Mei wants to take me to a few dinner parties, saying that it will help "Born in July" to win the Golden Bauhinia Award. I plan to go and take a look."

The official Golden Bauhinia Award ceremony will be held at the beginning of next year.

But the nomination list will basically be released in mid-December this year, which is just over two months away.

If you want to do everything you can to secure a nomination, you should start now.

Wu Yinan was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"That's fine. You can run around with Gu Mei more and get to know more people. Just go out and relax and make some friends."

Xie Zhuxin forced a smile at her and agreed.

That night, as promised, I followed Gu Mei to the first dinner party.

However, what Xie Zhuxin didn't expect was that he was the one who was clearly trying to drown his sorrows in alcohol and was ready to get drunk.

When they really got to the dinner party, Gu Mei, who usually loved to drink wine, drank much more than her.

In the end, he almost snatched the wine from Xie Zhuxin and drank it.

As a result, Xie Zhuxin, who had a moderate alcohol tolerance, remained sober in the end.

Gu Mei, who usually had a good alcohol tolerance, ended up getting drunk.
