Sourness

When Lin Qingshan drove Miyue and Furry's tour group down the mountain in his off-road vehicle, Jing Rong had already left for Baoji.

After leaving the mountain, the road was easy to go, and Jing Rong arrived at Baoji at noon the next day.At this time, Jiang Wanzhong's ex-wife Yuan Fei had already arrived at the hotel they had agreed on over the phone.

It was Yuan Fei's proposal to meet at Baoji.

She currently lives with her parents and brother.The village is not big, and the people in the village are all related to each other. The whole village knows what's going on with the family.

She doesn't want her parents and family to worry about her.

Jing Rong understood her concerns.After all, Yuan Fei and Jiang Wanzhong had been divorced for many years, and since Jiang Wanzhong's affairs came to her, it was almost a disaster for her.

Jing Rong settled down, washed up briefly, then called Yuan Fei, and made an appointment to meet at the coffee shop on the second floor of the hotel.

The public environment, and the hotel where Yuan Fei stayed, must have allowed her to relax psychologically, and she would not have too much resistance to his inquiries.

The environment of the hotel's coffee shop can only be said to be average, but the advantage is that there are few people and it is clean.

When Jing Rong walked in, he immediately recognized the well-dressed old lady sitting by the window.She is about the same age as Mrs. Qin, with a slightly fat body and short, neat hair. She looks dignified and generous.

After the two exchanged pleasantries and sat down, Yuan Fei asked to see Jing Rong's ID with her own eyes.

Because of this, Jing Rong's understanding of her deepened: this one is a very cautious person.

"Sorry." Yuan Fei handed back his ID and apologized meaningfully, "I am an elderly person. When I am old, I am suspicious. Even if Professor Lin is the introducer, I will inevitably think too much .Please be more considerate.”

"This is what it should be." Jing Rong put away the documents, and asked a little surprised: "Is Ms. Yuan familiar with Professor Lin?"

Yuan Fei smiled and said, "Professor Lin and I met at an event in the province. Later, the Chamber of Commerce in Province S donated money to several colleges and universities. I was also one of the representatives. It happened that Lin Hai University was the receptionist. Professor, I just got acquainted. Later, when I got divorced, he also introduced me to attend a management course at S Province University of Finance and Economics for a period of time.”

Jing Rong nodded, thinking to himself, no wonder Lin Qingshan suddenly asked him to come to see Yuan Fei, it turned out that he had such a friendship with Yuan Fei.

"I moved to Baoji in recent years," Yuan Fei said, "I don't have many opportunities to meet Professor Lin, but during the holidays, I still make a phone call to greet each other."

Jing Rong recalled Lin Qingshan's character, and felt that being able to call each other to greet each other during the holidays meant that they had a good friendship.

Waiting for the waiter to come, Jing Rong ordered some drinks and snacks for the two of them, and then said: "Ms. Yuan should know the purpose of my coming here."

Yuan Fei frowned slightly, "Professor Lin said that Lao Jiang might have gotten into trouble...can you tell me what happened to him?"

Jing Rong corrected her statement, "I can only say that it is currently under investigation."

Yuan Fei was a little helpless, "You can ask whatever you want. But since I moved here, we haven't been in touch very often, so I don't know much about things in recent years."

Jing Rong nodded, expressing that he was well aware of this situation, "Do you still remember when Jiang Wanzhong became interested in collecting antiques?"

"Well," Yuan Fei thought for a while, "It's a long way to go. Lao Jiang liked to collect that kind of game cards when he was a child, and later he started collecting stamps when he was older. Before we were married, as soon as we When I came out for a date, he would take me around places like Antique Street."

When Yuan Fei said this, a smile appeared on her face, "Later, he went to sea to do business, earned some money, and began to pay attention to auctions in various places, and bought a lot of things one after another, such as porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and carvings. …Anyway, it’s a mess, he has everything. At that time, our family even packed up a study room for him to store these things. Probably when he was about fifty…”

Yuan Fei stopped and thought for a while, "If I remember correctly, someone gave him a pair of crested hairpins from the Ming Dynasty on his 50th birthday, and he fell in love immediately. Later, he held The collections here have been dealt with better, and I started to focus on antique jewelry and gold and silverware.”

Yuan Fei laughed, with a bit of bitterness in her smile, "When we divorced, he planned to give me some of his collection, but I didn't want it. Seeing his painful appearance, he was more reluctant to leave than me. .”

Jing Rong asked her again, "Do you still remember what collections he has?"

This question is so simple that Yuan Fei almost didn't have to think about it, she just started counting with her fingers, "Jewelry, plates, bowls and chopsticks, gall bottles, incense burners... that's pretty much it."

Jing Rong thought, did Wang Zhouhui know who the buyer was in advance, and ascertained his preferences, so when he made a move, he targeted the gold and silver wares?

Of course, the small size and easy portability are also important factors to consider.

Jing Rong asked about Jiang Wanzhong's interpersonal relationship in Binhai, and comparing it with Mrs. Qin's statement, it was roughly the same.It's just that what Yuan Fei said was more detailed.

"At the beginning, it was agreed that Lao Jiang would take two juniors from his uncle's family to do business together, and that Lao Jiang would be in charge of management. The two juniors didn't know much about business, so they just shared dividends. In fact, Lao Jiang also wanted to help his uncle It meant to make a fuss, but then it got into a bad quarrel."

Yuan Fei sighed, "The two juniors wanted to crowd around him, and they whispered to Lao Jiang's uncle from time to time, saying that Lao Jiang had bad intentions and wanted to swallow their money. There are too many such things. There was no way to do it, so Lao Jiang simply withdrew his shares and handed over the entire business."

Jing Rong reckoned that without Jiang Wanzhong in charge, the business would not be doing very well.Although he had no expectations for Jiang Wanzhong's character, to be honest, this young man was also a self-made man.

Yuan Fei was also worried about the meaning of the relatives, so she didn't criticize the matter too much, and instead talked about Jiang Wanzhong's interpersonal relationship in Binhai City, "From the time he went to Yuntai to the final withdrawal of his shares, it took about three years. , less than four years. In my impression, the closest person to him is a businessman named Nan Changsheng on the other side of the sea."

Jing Rong leaned back, feeling in his heart that it really was so.

"Lao Jiang met a director of the Antique Collection Association in the business field. He met Nan Changsheng through this person. But later, he got closer to Nan Changsheng instead." Yuan Fei said: "Later it was Nan Changsheng. I introduced Huaniao Village to Lao Jiang, and he liked it so much that he simply bought a house and lived here for the elderly.”

Jing Rong couldn't figure out how deep the friendship between Nan Changsheng and Jiang Wanzhong was, so he couldn't judge whether Nan Changsheng was planning something. However, the distance between Huaniao Village and Qingshui Town is not too far, which is also true.

Yuan Fei understood the friendship between the two of them in this way, "At the beginning, they were like-minded and sympathetic to each other. Later, Nan Changsheng used his own resources to make Lao Jiang rich. I think Lao Jiang has a little bit of love for Nan Changsheng. Little brother's feelings for big brother."

Jing Rong asked her again, "May I take the liberty to ask, what made you decide to divorce?"

He was a little confused about this question when he was gossiping with Mi Yue, but after meeting Yuan Fei himself, this feeling became more obvious.

Yuan Fei is definitely not the kind of original partner who is forced to be helpless by the mistress and can only cry and be forced to abdicate.The matter of divorce must have been proposed by Yuan Fei herself.

Yuan Fei smiled wryly, "It was rumored outside that he took care of the little star, so we had to divorce. You don't seem to believe this statement?"

Jing Rong smiled and said, "I just feel that this cannot be a reason for divorce."

Whether it's a starlet or a coerced pregnancy, for people like Jiang Wanzhong and Yuan Fei, it's not a problem that can't be solved with money.

"Actually, I'm afraid." Yuan Fei sighed again, "My natal family's brothers are actually not very capable people. I can be regarded as the pillar of my natal family. If something happens to me, my natal family will definitely collapse. My parents are also very old. I absolutely can't let them have an accident, or let them worry about it."

Jing Rong's expression became serious, "Can you tell me?"

"You have already found me. If I don't say anything, I will probably be implicated in Lao Jiang's accident in the future." There is a strange determination in Yuan Fei's eyebrows, "Divorce is fine, I will cooperate with you now." It doesn’t matter if you ask, it’s all about self-protection here.”

Jing Rong nodded, "I can understand."

For some people, their own little family is more important than anything else.But for some, blood relatives are more important.In particular, Yuan Fei's relatives still regard her as the pillar of the whole family, so the pressure on Yuan Fei is even greater.

In her position, it is impossible for her to think only of herself.

"Not long before my divorce, I went back to my hometown to attend a relative's wedding. At that time, I made an agreement with Lao Jiang to come back in a week." Yuan Fei said: "But after attending the wedding, for some reason, my brother and sister-in-law There was a quarrel, it seemed that it was because of something about my sister-in-law's family... My parents didn't want me to get involved in their housework, so they kicked me home."

Yuan Fei sighed and said, "I went home two days earlier than the agreed upon date."

Jing Rong didn't wonder if she ran into the possibility of adultery.After all, Yuan Fei had already said that what she encountered was something that frightened her.
