Chapter 425 How Much Does She Know?
The investigator looks at the invoice. The date on it is 13th of the month. She thinks for a while. Then, she dials a number and says, “Help me to check whether Qianfu Jewelry received a payment of amount four hundred thousand yuan in its account on 13th of the month.”
Xia Ning feels a little nervous. She knew that they would check about it. But she still feels worried.
After a few minutes, the woman’s phone rings. She takes up the phone and listens to it. Then, she hangs up. She turns to Xia Ning, “You had paid for it. Why did Qianfu Jewelry still take the payment of one hundred thousand yuan from Secretary Yi?”
Xia Ning feels shocked to hear her words.
Su Shen didn’t tell her that.
However, the investigator is staring at her. If she shows any confusion, the investigator will find the problem!
“Maybe...” Xia Ning hesitates for a while, “Maybe Qianfu Jewelry didn’t want Secretary Yi to know it, so they do that to convince him.”
The woman hears her words. She thinks for a while and asks, “Why did Qianfu Jewelry do that?”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes. Seemingly, under the current condition, she has to draw someone else into the case.
“Because I am very familiar with Mr. Su. That is why Qianfu Jewelry agreed to sell the adornment Flying Wing to Wing to me.”
The investigators look at each other. What Xia Ning said seems reasonable. Now, they only need to check whether Xia Ning and Su Shen are really familiar with each other.
The investigator asks Xia Ning some other questions and then Xia Ning is permitted to leave the room.
Soon, Gu Ruoruo also comes out. Xia Ning finds Gu Ruoruo pale. She goes to hold her hands, “Don’t be afraid. My brother will be fine. Don’t worry.”
Gu Ruoruo sees that Xia Ning is confident. She asks, “Sister Xia, why are you so sure?”
Xia Ning gently smiles, “Because I trust my brother and I trust the laws. I think my brother will be clear soon.”
Gu Ruoruo takes a deep breath, “I hope Yi come back soon. I haven’t met him for two days.”
“You silly, my brother is more worried than you. Ruoruo, you have to be strong. As long as you stay with my brother, there won’t be anything that you can’t get over.”
Gu Ruoruo lifts to look at Xia Ning. She says meaningfully, “Sister Xia, you and Commander Yi will also be fine.”
“Hum. Sure.” All this life, she will always stay with Yi Yunrui!
Two days later, Yi Yunyi’s case is over. He is clear of suspicions and resumes his position. Anyway, he still needs to go through an inspection period of a month.
Gu Ruoruo is very happy on the day. She specially invites Xia Ning for dinner.
When Xia Ning arrives at the restaurant, she finds that besides her second elder brother, there are two other men there. One is Su Shen and the other is Gu Luan.
“Brother, Ruoruo, Director Gu, Mr. Su.” Xia Ning greets them and takes a seat.
Gu Ruoruo happily passes the menu to Xia Ning, “Sister Xia, you may see what you want to eat. Everything is OK. You don’t need to save money for me”
Xia Ning smiles, “Do you arrange the dinner to thank me?”
Gu Ruoruo nods, “Sister Xia, you are naughty. You bought that adornment. Why didn’t you tell me? I thought it was sent by Yi.”
“When I saw the adornment, I felt shocked. So, I called Mr. Su. Mr. Su said that Ruoruo liked it and he sent it to her. I asked Mr. Su for the price, or I would send it back to him. In the end, Mr. Su took one hundred thousand yuan for it. I didn’t expect that it would cause the case.”
Yi Yunyi says. He glances at Su Shen, “to be honest, I was suspicious of Mr. Su at that time. I didn’t know that my sister-in-law had paid for it. So, I want to say sorry to Mr. Su.”
“That’s all right, Secretary Yi.” Su Shen says indifferently, “It is just a misunderstanding.”
Xia Ning apologizes, “Brother, sorry. It is my fault. I didn’t tell you that. Some ill-intentioned men took the chance and brought the trouble to everyone. After this experience, I will be more careful in the future.”
“It is not your fault.” Gu Ruoruo still feels scared when she remembers it, “It is my fault. I didn’t take the identity and the post of Yi into consideration. I thought it was only a matter of an adornment and nothing else. It was my naughtiness which resulted in Yi’s being investigated for several days.”
Gu Ruoruo holds Yi Yunyi’s hand, “Yi, sorry. I promise you. I will be more careful in the future. Without your permission, I won’t do any naughty things again.”
Yi Yunyi gently smiles. He looks at her tenderly, “You may tell me directly whatever you like. I am old and stupid, not like you, you are young. Sometimes, I may fail to notice some things.”
Gu Ruoruo smiles sweetly. She glances at her brother Gu Luan, who is silent. She slightly lifts her chin, “Brother, I told you. Yi is not someone like that! See? I warn you, if you dare to say anything bad about Yi again, I will be very angry with you...”
“Ruoruo.” Yi Yunyi gently interrupts, “It is over. We may not talk about it again. Your brother was just worried about you. In addition, based on your personality, your interference might only make the situation more complicated. It is understandable.”
Gu Ruoruo hears his words. She curls her lips and snorts at Gu Luan.
Gu Luan slightly lifts his lips to soften his face. Then, he takes up the teapot to pour a cup of tea for Xia Ning, “I was really wrong in this case. I will be careful in the future. Ning, have some tea. Thank you for taking care of my younger sister.”
Xia Ning glances at the tea. She slowly responds, “Director Gu, they are my elder brother and sister-in-law. When anything happens to either of them, I will try everything to help them. It is my duty. So, Director Gu, you don’t need to thank me.”
Gu Luan’s eyes slightly darken. But he keeps smiling, “Ning, didn’t you agree to call me Luan? It sounds too strange to call me Director Gu.”
Xia Ning smiles. She doesn’t reply. Instead, she lowers her head to drink the tea.
It is a little awkward. Gu Ruoruo reminds them, “Sister Xia, let’s order the dishes. You may order whatever you like. Don’t save money for me. Or, I will be really angry. If I am displeased, Yi will be miserable.”
“Ahem.” Yi Yunyi makes a cough. He feels shocked with embarrassment to hear Gu Ruoruo’s words.
“OK.” Xia Ning glances at Yi Yunyi, “Seemingly, someone’s purse is going to bleed tonight.”
“It is its pleasure.” Gu Ruoruo glances at Yi Yunyi, “Uncle Yi, do you need to have some herbal medical dishes to make it up?”
“Ha. Ha. Ha... You naughty girl!” Yi Yunyi laughs. He tenderly pinches Gu Ruoruo’s cheek.
They are talking and laughing while Su Shen and Gu Luan are lost in their meditation. They happen to see each other in the eyes when they lift their heads. It feels as if a sharp sword cuts across the air.
To satisfy Gu Ruoruo’s hospitality, Xia Ning deliberately orders quite some expensive specialties which fully occupy the table. Gu Ruoruo is in a good mood and eats a lot. Though there are a lot of dishes, they almost finish them.
In the middle of the dinner, Su Shen leaves for other issues. And then, Gu Luan leaves for another appointment, too. Xia Ning, Gu Ruoruo and Yi Yunyi stay.
Gu Ruoruo drinks a mouthful of watermelon juice. She makes a hiccup, “Great! It is an amazing dinner!”
Xia Ning smiles, “Are you full? If not, we may order some more dishes.”
Gu Ruoruo waves her hand, “I am full. I have had enough tonight. I am thinking of losing some weight...”
“No.” Yi Yunyi interrupts decisively, “If I find out you are losing weight, Ruoruo, you know the consequences.”
Gu Ruoruo blushes. But her mouth doesn’t give in, “I am doing it. So what?”
“Ahem.” Yi Yunyi makes a short cough. He says in a miserable voice, “Ruoruo, we have a company here. Can you save face for your husband?”
“Sister Xia is not an outsider. It is fine. Anyway, everyone knows that you are old. If I abandon you, no one will take you. Uncle Yi, do you want to have face or a wife?”
Yi Yunyi smiles to shake his head. He turns to Xia Ning, “Ning, did my mom call you?”
Xia Ning hesitates for a while. She shakes her head, “No. Ha. Ha.”
Yi Yunyi looks at Xia Ning. He can guess the truth. He says, “Ning, my mom has been spoiled ever since she was young. She has a short temper. You may bear with her for some time. My younger brother will be back and you don’t need to worry about it again.”
Xia Ning nods, “It is fine. Mom is just worried.”
“Uncle Yi.” Gu Ruoruo says worriedly, “Do you think Aunt Zheng will bring a woman to take you away on the day we get married? No way. I will have to make some preparation.”
Yi Yunyi stares at her worriedly, “What preparation do you want to make? Tell me now.”
Gu Ruoruo lifts her eyebrows and says mysteriously, “I don’t tell you! Hum.”
It is a dark night. The waves clap on the bank. The air is cool with moisture.
Gu Luan smokes the cigarette and exhales a cloud slowly. He asks in a cold voice, “Was it your idea?”
A man is standing not far away from him. He dresses in white and looks handsome. He puts his hands into his pockets and responds, “Yes.”
Gu Luan slightly screws his eyes, “Didn’t we have an agreement? Why did you do that?”
“Xia Ning came directly to me. She threatened me that if I didn’t help her, she would tell Yi Yunrui to deal with me. I couldn’t but agree.”
Gu Luan feels nervous. He sounds colder, “How much does Ning know?”
Su Shen shrugs his shoulders, “Everything except the agreement between you and me.”
Gu Luan gives a sigh of relief. Nevertheless, he is still worried, “Why did she go to you? Why did She say such heartless words to you?”
Su Shen glances at Gu Luan, “Mr. Gu, Qianfu Jewelry is a property of TC Group. It was reasonable that Xia Ning came to me. Why did she say heartless words to me? Didn’t she say just now? They were her elder brother and sister-in-law. When anything happened to either of them, she would try everything to help them.”
Gu Luan feels shocked to hear the words!
Wait. Can Ning have found out the relationship between him and Su Shen?
She knows it. So, she deliberately said so in the dinner just now?
