Outside the Jiang family villa, Huo Lan asked Ji Jingmo about Fu Li's situation.
Ji Jingmo didn't hide anything and told everything.
Fu Li went missing when she was seven years old. The Jiang family searched for her for a while but couldn't find her, so they went to the orphanage to adopt Jiang Yan.
The Jiang family didn't expect that Fu Li would find him back on his own.
On the first day Fu Li came back, her hands and face were wrapped with bandages, there were blood stains, and there were injuries on her face. She was sitting in a broken wheelchair, just like someone who had fled.
The Jiang family is a small wealthy family. It would be embarrassing if anyone knew that they had a daughter living in a slum.
Although Fu Li is a real daughter, she is not as knowledgeable as Jiang Yan, and does not have the figure and self-cultivation of a wealthy lady. At first glance, she looks like a vulgar country bumpkin, and she is also disabled and ugly. Naturally, the Jiang family is not willing to recognize her.
"At that time, I thought the Jiang family wanted me to marry the real daughter Fu Li, so I objected and said I would rather break off the engagement than marry Fu Li." Ji Jingmo said this verbosely.
When Huo Lan heard this, his face turned cold immediately, "If you don't want it, just let them send the person to me?"
"Uncle Qi, I didn't know about this." Ji Jingmo explained hurriedly, "If Uncle Qi hadn't been here today, I wouldn't have known that Fu Li had gone to your place. I thought the Jiang family had sent him away.
"
Ji Jingmo paused and continued, "That day Fu Li also realized that she was not welcome, so an old man pushed her wheelchair away. Since then, I have neither seen nor heard from Fu Li.
Jiang Yan said that even when they came to Jiang's house, they didn't even mention Fu Li's existence."
"Uncle Qi, I won't harm you. The Jiang family hates Fu Li even if it's too late. They want Fu Li to die and don't want people to know that their daughter is a loser, so they will never go to your place to pick up Fu Li and send him away.
The Jiang family doesn’t have the guts.”
"Tch." Huo Lan snorted, "I don't know if Fu Licao is a fool, but I don't think your fiancée is that noble."
Huo Lan said this with emotion.
Seeing that Ji Jingmo was very puzzled, Huo Lan added coldly, "As a medical student, I couldn't even save a person who was choking for a minute. Later, when he recovered, he was busy trying to get credit from others. The Jiang family
With this background, you can't teach any outstanding daughter, but you still have the nerve to despise others, where is your face?"
Ji Jingmo, "..."
That day in the lobby of the hotel, Huo Lan saw the man Fu Li slapped the man until he spit out water and then convulsed.
But as a medical student, Jiang Yan did not ask about the person who choked, but instead competed with Fu Li for credit. How dare she be called cultivated and knowledgeable with such virtue?
It's really ridiculous.
Ignoring Ji Jingmo's blank expression, Huo Lan left with his assistant.
He didn't like Fu Li, so he didn't know that she was in this situation in the Jiang family.
Pity her for one second, no more.
Moreover, it does not prevent him from continuing to hate Fu Li.
Ji Jingmo returned to the hall with a bad expression. Jiang Yan and Jiang's father and mother asked him.
After giving Jiang Yan a thoughtful look, Ji Jingmo said, "Uncle Qi believes that it was not the Jiang family who took away Fu Li, and he will not send anyone to disturb him in the future."
"Jing Mo, I didn't expect that the Ji family and the Huo family have such a close relationship. You never mentioned it before." Jiang's father said and ordered the butler to make a richer dinner tonight.
This marriage in the Ji family is really well settled.
Because Huo Lan's words just now made Ji Jingmo feel a little uncomfortable, "Uncle, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Jingmo?" Jiang Yan pulled him and asked keenly, "Did something happen?"
Why does it feel like Ji Jingmo's state and mood changed after meeting Huo Lan?
Ji Jingmo shook his head, "I really have something to do. I've sent you home. Just have a good rest. I'll leave first. Goodbye."
After saying that, Ji Jingmo left in a hurry.
For ten days in a row, Huo Lan couldn't find Fu Li.
Seeing that he had promised his father to bring Fu Li back within half a month, only five days had passed, but Fu Li's rescuer disappeared out of thin air, and no one could be found.
It stands to reason that in today's information age, Fu Li can find traces as long as he goes out to spend money, but unfortunately, there are no traces at all.
Huo Lan even thought exaggeratedly, was Fu Li so poor that he had no money to go out and spend money?
So he sent people to search for it in bridge caves, suburbs, and abandoned houses.
The worst outcome is that Fu Li goes begging after being driven away by him.
The places where beggars can go are naturally places like bridge openings.
As Huo Lan's assistant, Tang Sen thought Master Qi was crazy.
The seventh lady is good-looking, has a good temperament, has tender skin and tender flesh, and does not look like a beggar. The seventh master's thoughts and speculations are simply outrageous.
And during these ten days, something happened every night at Lanyang Mansion.
It had finally calmed down for a few days, but now it has started again, making people panic.
Someone concluded that nothing happened at Lanyang Mansion because Fu Li came in, but after Fu Li left, things started to happen again.
As a result, rumors spread throughout Lanyang Mansion that it was Fu Li's arrival that stopped the evil spirits from killing people, but after Fu Li left, the evil spirits naturally became rampant again.
When these words reached Huo Lan's ears, he got angry and said, "What benefits has Fu Li given you? Why do you admire her so much?"
The servants shut up.
In the evening, Huo Lan was working in the study. Uncle Chen came to Huo Lan and said, "That Chang Wen said that that night he saw a black shadow trying to bite him, but it was my wife who saved him."
"Do you believe it?" Huo Lan disagreed.
He hates the talk of ghosts and gods the most.
Uncle Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Chang Wen also said that his wife later gave him a tips bag and a gold bar, but since then, he has not heard any strange noises while sleeping at night."
Later, Uncle Chen took out the tips bag and showed it to Huo Lan.
He also said, "Qi Ye, when you first met Madam, Madam wanted to give you a gift bag like this, but you didn't ask for it."
Huo Lan remembered that there was indeed such a thing. Fu Li said it was a meeting gift, but he didn't ask for it, thinking that Fu Li wanted to please her.
"Can this kind of thing work? It's fake." Huo Lan still didn't believe it, "Also, Fu Li, a rich man who has been living outside for so many years, can have gold bars, what a joke."
"One more thing." Uncle Chen paused, then took out another jade pendant and said, "The servant Li Dazhuang took this from Master Qi that day. He has been carrying it with him. Last night he said he saw
He saw a dark shadow rushing toward him, but as soon as he got close, he was bounced away, and then the shadow ran away."
"Seventh Master, maybe with so many people dead in the house, not all of them were scammers, but there might be something really unclean, and Madam might..."
Huo Lan took the jade pendant. The company also does jewelry business. This jade pendant is not top-grade jade because the touch is different from that of fine jade.
And it's such a big piece, as big as the palm of your foot. If it's really good jade, it will be very valuable.
Thinking about it carefully, when Fu Li was photographing the man choking in the hotel lobby that day, he was indeed holding a piece of jade in his hand, which looked very similar to this one.
That woman who talks so much can't be a true slut, right?
Huo Lan thought for a while and said to Uncle Chen, "Keep these two things and I will study them."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Huo Lan took away all the black sachets and jade charms and took them back to the bedroom.
