After a flash marriage, the abstinent president dotes on his wife
Chapter 169 Identity Suspicion
At the dinner table, Xing Nian was still immersed in the shock of the previous time, and muttered to himself: Is it a coincidence? Why are they so similar?
Mu Huaichen keenly captured the change in Xing Nian's mood. He gently held her hand under the table, conveyed comfort with his eyes, and told her that he would take care of everything.
Xing Nian didn't want to appear too abrupt, after all, this was her first meeting with the Xiao family. Whether it was a coincidence or not, she was determined to investigate the second master of the Xiao family privately.
Xiao Mingheng only had a quick taste of the food, then left the restaurant after saying a brief goodbye to Xiao Minghui.
Xiao Minghui knew that his brother was aloof and careless, so to avoid misunderstanding, he quickly explained: "Don't mind it, he is just like that, let's continue eating."
Xing Nian watched Xiao Mingheng's leaving back and noticed that except for the emotional fluctuations when they first met, he maintained a calm attitude throughout.
She ate absent-mindedly during the meal, and only gave simple responses to the topics raised by Patriarch Xiao and Xiao Jingyan, her thoughts having already drifted away.
After the meal, Xiao Jingyan invited Mu Huaichen to discuss matters. Mu Huaichen looked at Xing Nian with concern in his eyes, as if asking if she was okay.
Xing Nian responded with a look: "You go ahead, I'm fine, just walking around here."
Xing Nian felt at a loss as this was someone else's home after all and she couldn't move around freely.
Butler Chen appeared at the right time and suggested, "Madam Mu, if you feel bored, you can go for a walk in the courtyard."
Xing Nian looked at Butler Chen and asked curiously, "Butler Chen, you have served in the Xiao family for many years, right?"
"More than thirty years." Butler Chen replied.
Xing Nian hesitated to speak, wondering whether he should ask Butler Chen about Xiao Mingheng.
After all, if you ask rashly when you first meet someone, they might become suspicious.
She thought, forget it, at worst she could push the matter to her senior brother, who was going to ask Mr. Xiao for the debt. Although the gambler was not Xiao Mingheng, he must have a deep connection with the Xiao family if he could use the name of the Xiao family to do things outside.
So Xing Nian asked, "Butler Chen, I heard Huaichen mention that Second Uncle Xiao often lives abroad for recuperation due to health reasons. Does he plan to settle down in China after returning this time?"
Butler Chen explained: "The head of the family also hopes that the Second Master will stay in China. Nowadays, the medical conditions in China are no less than those abroad. The head of the family has tried to persuade him many times before but to no avail. This time, the Second Master should have decided to stay in China."
Just as Xing Nian was about to continue asking about Xiao Mingheng, Butler Chen received a call saying that the head of the Yan family had something to ask him, so he had to leave in a hurry and told Xing Nian: "Madam Mu, if you need anything, you can tell the servants."
As the inquiring person left, Xing Nian began to wander around the courtyard. The courtyard was so vast that she seemed to be lost as she walked.
At this time, she noticed that there was a person sitting in the pavilion, so she decided to go up and ask for directions.
When she walked closer and took a closer look, she discovered that it was Xiao Mingheng, the second master of the Xiao family.
At the same time, Mr. Xiao also noticed the sound behind him. He turned his wheelchair and his eyes fell on Xing Nian who was standing on the pavilion corridor.
Seeing Xing Nian's face, Xiao Mingheng was stunned again and couldn't help whispering: "It's so similar!"
"Like what?" Xing Nian asked.
Xiao Mingheng retracted his gaze and said in a cold tone: "Nothing, this is not the place for you to come, please leave if you have nothing to do."
"Uncle Xiao, who do you think I look like? Is he someone you know?" Xing Nian asked.
"It has nothing to do with you, leave quickly." His voice was emotionless, but it made Xing Nian's heart inexplicably tight.
She stared at Xiao Mingheng, trying to calm down. Maybe it was just a coincidence. There are so many similar people in the world. It is not the right time to ask him now. It will not be too late to ask after the investigation is clear.
Xing Nian did not forget her senior brother's instructions. She handed over the phone and said, "Second Uncle Xiao, do you know the person in the photo?"
Xiao Mingheng glanced at the photo and asked, "Is this the purpose of your visit to the Xiao family?"
"Not entirely. I do want to thank Young Master Xiao for saving my life. But recently someone borrowed money in the name of the Xiao family, claiming to be Xiao Mingheng, the person in the photo."
Hearing this, Xiao Mingheng's expression changed slightly.
"I'm aware of this matter and will send someone to investigate. Thank you for Madam Mu's reminder. Please go back."
"Okay, Uncle Xiao, I'll take my leave first." Xing Nian turned and left, thinking that because of the loan, he would inevitably have another intersection with the Xiao family in the future, so there was no need to rush.
Looking at Xing Nian's departing back, Xiao Mingheng waved his hand lightly, and a man in black quickly stepped forward.
"Second Master."
"Go check Wang Pan's recent movements and the situation of the young lady of the Mu Group."
At this moment, Mu Huaichen arrived at the place where Xing Nian had first stopped. He looked around and finally found Xing Nian's figure.
"Niannian, where have you been?" Mu Huaichen looked at Xing Nian with concern in his eyes.
"Oh, I was bored, so I wandered around the yard, and I seem to have lost my way. By the way, have you settled everything?"
"Yes, everything has been handled. We can leave now." Mu Huaichen held Xing Nian's hand, said a brief goodbye to the head of the Xiao family, and left first.
In the car, Mu Huaichen asked softly: "Nian Nian, you seem a little uneasy since you met Uncle Xiao. Do you know him?"
"I don't know him, but I have some doubts in my mind. I will tell you after I confirm it."
Mu Huaichen understood Xing Nian's character, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "If you need any help, please let me know at any time."
After sending Xing Nian to Mengyuan, Mu Huaichen went to the company.
Xing Nian returned to the bedroom, took out his mother's diary, pulled out a photo from it, and stared at the man next to his mother.
He was indeed quite similar to Mr. Xiao Erye, but the man in the photo was in his youth, probably in his early twenties.
She turned on the computer and began to search for information about Xiao Mingheng, the second master of the Xiao family. However, there was very little information about Xiao Mingheng on the Internet.
Xing Nian felt a headache. Second Master Xiao was a low-key person who had lived abroad for a long time. There was almost no trace of him on the Internet, not even a photo. Mu Huaichen didn't know much about Second Master Xiao either.
The matter was still unclear, so it was inconvenient for her to ask the head of the Xiao family directly about the matter of the Second Master Xiao.
Just when Xing Nian was at a loss, his cell phone rang. After checking the message, he picked up the phone and drove away from Mengyuan.
