did not meet tonight

Xu Xueru was a well-known female star when she was young, and her appearance and temperament were superior to ordinary people. After so many years of being pampered and pampered, she became more mature and elegant.Although Chen Qiankun didn't give her an official title, he hasn't found any other women for so many years, which shows that Xu Xueru herself is very good.With a smile on her face, she took the initiative to say: "A Tai, you didn't come over for lunch. If you feel hungry, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare afternoon tea for you."

"No need, I can do this myself." Chen Tai said expressionlessly.

"I heard from Ah Zhe that you want to leave the manor today, but the mountain road is blocked and there is a danger of a landslide. Besides, your father just celebrated his birthday. You can take this opportunity to spend more time with him and make him happy. Happy." Xu Xueru's voice was gentle, and she was not embarrassed by Chen Tai's indifference.

"I think he will be happier not seeing me." Chen Tai sneered.

"How could it be? A father doesn't want his children to be under Cheng Huan's lap. Your father is just stubborn. In fact, he really wants you to be by his side." Xu Xueru explained him like an elder.Chen Tai frowned, looking very disgusted: "You don't seem to have the right to meddle in my affairs."

Xu Xueru was not angry, she smiled and said: "Yes, I am an outsider, and I have no right to say this, but I still hope that no matter where you are, you can return to this home safely and without incident. "

"Worry about yourself, and this daughter I don't know where I brought it back." Chen Tai glanced coldly at Chen Jing, the thin girl was hiding behind Xu Xueru, like a frightened rabbit, with no atmosphere Dare to come out.

Xu Xueru held Chen Jing's hand as if to comfort her, her expression was still so gentle: "Jing'er, like me, is a person who doesn't have much pursuit. As long as this life can be safe and sound, we will be satisfied."

"Really?" Chen Tai snorted mockingly, "Then I wish you all your wishes come true."

He walked past them without even turning his head. Xu Xueru watched him walk away, sighed softly, and said, "Don't be afraid, he's only coming back for a few days and will leave soon."

"I'm not afraid!" Chen Jing subconsciously puffed up her chest and said.

"Good boy." Xu Xueru touched her head, her face was full of tenderness.

Ye Jian watched them from the window for a long time. Although he couldn't hear the conversation, Xu Xueru obviously loved Chen Jing very much, while Chen Tai was full of hostility towards them. It stands to reason that a mistress who has never entered the house and an adopted daughter who has no identity will not cause him harm. Any danger, where did his unabashed hostility come from?

The door was pushed open, and Yu Yuanyuan came in with food. The delicious white rice porridge and three dishes of light dishes were specially prepared by the kitchen.She saw Ye Jianchu lost in thought by the window, and said, "A Jian, what are you looking at there, come over and eat!"

Ye Jian was already so hungry that his chest stuck to his back, and he felt like he was alive again after eating the hot rice porridge. He asked, "Yuan Yuan, are you familiar with Xu Xueru's mother and daughter?"

"Aunt Xu has a good temper and is very gentle to everyone. Jing'er is a bit timid and not very talkative. She often hides behind Aunt Xu. She is just a simple little girl." Yu Yuanyuan asked strangely, "Why did you suddenly ask Are they here?"

"I heard that they are not related by blood?" Ye Jian asked.

"That's right, Jing'er was adopted by Aunt Xu from the orphanage. She was only six years old when she first arrived at Chen's house. Maybe it's because of this. She always looks so cautious." Sympathy appeared in Yu Yuanyuan's expression, " In fact, Jing'er is very obedient, never causing trouble, and never making trouble unreasonably, always standing quietly at the back, but I don't know why Ah Zhe and the others don't like her."

"In this case, why did you let her stay in the manor?" Ye Jian asked puzzled.

"It seems that Jing'er is not in good health and cannot leave the mountain, so she has been living here for so many years. But I don't know what the disease is. Ah Zhe didn't mention it. She lives alone in a small building Sister Yan usually takes care of her." Yu Yuanyuan said.

"Is that the housekeeper named Yan Meilan?" Ye Jian thought of the woman with a stiff expression.

"Well, Sister Yan has worked here for many years. Uncle Chen trusts her very much, and even Aunt Xu is polite to her." From the expression on his voice, it can be seen that Yu Yuanyuan is quite afraid of this woman, "She treats the servant She is very strict, and often puts on a face to teach them, and I think she is scarier when she smiles than when she doesn't smile, her expression is like a painting, it's too fake."

"Every one of them feels so complicated." Ye Jian shook his head and said.

"There are so many people in the manor, there must be a lot of intrigue. It's best to keep your ears shut and don't care about anything." Yu Yuanyuan has already thought of a countermeasure for himself, "After the matter here is over, I will talk to Ah Zhe will go back to Yicheng, and other things will be discussed after we get married in the future, and now I don't think so much."

"Everything has good and bad, it depends on whether you are willing to bear the bad for the good." Ye Jian knew what she was worried about, and explained her.

"I understand. I know that there is a big gap between me and them, so I never force anything. As long as I can do it without embarrassing Ah Zhe, I will be satisfied. As for whether they will like me or not, I will just let it take its course. Right. I know what to do, so don't worry." Yu Yuanyuan smiled, and comforted him instead.

This topic always makes people feel heavy, so Ye Jian didn't bring it up any more. After finishing the porridge with a few snorts, he sighed contentedly: "Rich people are different, even the rice for cooking porridge is special. fragrant!"

Yu Yuanyuan put away the dishes and said, "Then you rest for a while, and I will call you when Big Brother Xiao and the others come back."

Ye Jian really felt a little tired, he climbed back to the bed, fell into a drowsy sleep, when he was half asleep, he always felt that someone was staring at him, he opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.Probably because the movement was too fast, his head hurt more than before. He sat on the bed and managed to recover. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the door was actually ajar, but he remembered it very clearly. When Yu Yuanyuan left, he clearly locked the door. Yes!

He got out of bed and walked barefoot, the floor was cold, and his heart was even colder, as if he saw someone watching him through the gap while he was sleeping. Is this real, or is it a dream?

He stood behind the door, took a deep breath, opened the door forcefully, a black figure suddenly appeared, and the two of them almost collided, before he could see clearly, Xiao Yu's voice sounded: "Where are you going? "

"It's you!" Ye Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who do you think?" Xiao Yu said.

"Maybe I'm sleepy. Just now I always felt that someone was watching me outside." Ye Jian patted his head and whispered, "What's going on, did something wrong with the previous sap?"

Xiao Yu frowned, and his expression was a little more guarded. He came up from the stairs, and there was only one way to pass through this floor. If Ye Jian's feeling was correct, the person who was peeping in the dark was live on this floor.There are four rooms on this floor, except for one that is empty, the other three are occupied by them and Lu Yaning.

Could it be her, but with Lu Yaning's haughty personality, she shouldn't do such a shameful thing, but if it wasn't for her, who could hide in such a short time before his arrival?

Xiao Yu turned his head and looked over. Lu Yaning's room was locked, and there was no movement in the empty room. Seeing that he was standing still at the door, Ye Jian pushed him and asked, "You think it's weird, too?"

Xiao Yu closed the door and said, "Be careful these days, remember to lock the door when you sleep."

"The more I talk about it, the more scary I am. I'm just a nobody. I don't even own a stone in such a big place. How could someone come and stare at me? It must be an illusion caused by a drowsy sleep." Ye Jian waved his hand and said nothing. How to take it to heart, "By the way, Yuan Yuan said that you went to see the road conditions today, how is it, is it serious?"

"A section of the road was buried by the mountain, and it will take a day or two to clear the silt. However, the weather forecast will still rain tonight, and geological disasters are likely to occur. It seems that we need to stay here for a few more days." Xiao Yu said.

"That's just right. After the road is cleared, Yuan Yuan should be able to leave with us." Ye Jian was always worried about leaving Yu Yuanyuan in this isolated and helpless place.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Xiao Yu glanced at him.

"Look at my body, it's strong, what can I do?" Ye Jian swung his arms to show off his muscles, "Let me rest for another day, and I will definitely be revived with full blood tomorrow!"

Xiao Yu reached out to touch the swollen lump on the back of his head, Ye Jian was in pain, couldn't help shrinking back, and forced a smile, which meant that he was really fine.Xiao Yu had no choice but to say: "Go to the bed and lie down, I will apply the medicine for you."

There were several ointments for reducing swelling and stasis in the medicine box. Xiao Yu read the instructions carefully before taking a box and sitting down beside the bed.Ye Jian was lying there, a cool feeling came from the back of his head, and the burning pain before was relieved a lot, he closed his eyes and rested his mind, and said, "Xiao Yu, you said so many strange things, will you Will it all be related?"

"Maybe." Xiao Yu replied casually.

"You're a policeman, don't you want to find out the truth?" Ye Jian felt very strange, even he, who couldn't beat him, couldn't help being curious, how could Xiao Yu be so calm?

"Some things can't be changed even if you know the truth." Xiao Yu said.

Ye Jian froze for a moment, knowing that he was referring to the "Happy House" case, they tried their best to find out the truth, but in the end they couldn't resist the power of capital.Although the children have escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, the wounds left behind are eternal. One day those perpetrators will be judged, but the sentencing may be far lower than the crimes they themselves should bear.Not only Xiao Yu, but even Ye Jian were not reconciled. Why did their desperate efforts only get this result? Is the wall built with money and power really enough to protect heinous crimes?

Ye Jian's heart was much heavier, he sat up from the bed, pretended to be nonchalant and said: "You are right, let them think about these headaches, we are here on vacation, don't worry about it What are you doing!"

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Go to sleep for a while, Mr. Chen will treat us to dinner tonight."
