Another day passed, and Chu's house was in a state of disarray, as if it had been robbed. Every piece of land and every room had been turned over and then roughly filled in.
People in the whole house were in panic, and the servants hid together, biting their ears softly, wondering what kind of situation would eventually develop if Chu Di continued to make trouble like this.
Everyone knows what happened in this old house that day, but no one can tell Chu Di what happened, because they all have children, and when the fate of their children is in the hands of others, they will
I have no time to pay attention to other people's fate.
Lin Xiangwan and Ye Nan were pitiful. That woman's blood stained such a large slate floor red that day. The workers who cleaned it later spent a long time wiping the marble to reveal its original appearance. The bright red blood was covered by a basin of blood.
One basin was removed, and the clear water continued to be dyed red.
Such a scene would become a nightmare at work for a long time.
But no one dared to speak out. Even if Chu Di came to ask them, they remained silent. They are just people who get paid to do things. They have no business offending their immediate superiors because of the joy and anger of a young master who has been away from home for many years. Maybe among many people
In the eyes, compared with Chu Di, the old lady Chu's mother is simply an insignificant person, but in the Chu family, Chu's mother's words are an imperial edict and are the authority above all else.
No one dares to resist her, unless you no longer want this job, unless you don't want peace in your family from now on.
After two days of digging, even the innermost soil of the rose garden was turned over. Chu Di still couldn't find any trace of the whereabouts of Lin Xiangwan and Ye Nan, and the people he sent out also returned empty-handed.
She seemed to suddenly disappear from this world, like a beautiful bubble on the sea that disappeared without a trace as soon as it was illuminated by the sun.
Chu Di has to face Chu's mother every day. He has spent more time in Chu's house these days than he has stayed here in a year. But they haven't spoken for two days, and Chu's mother always sits on his
In the room, she held an exquisite tea set in her hand, and looked down at Chu Di and her people who ruined the old house. She said nothing, but had an unpredictable smile at the corner of her mouth.
Just when Chu Di was almost desperate, he suddenly thought of someone.
The enemy of our enemy may be our friend.
Ji Moli has been in trouble ever since Chu Hao's identity was exposed by Chu's mother.
After Chu's mother cut off all contact with the outside world, she locked her and her children in the coldest and dampest room in Chu's house.
Fortunately for Lin Xiangwan, someone would deliver meals to her every day. Although the quality of the food was not as good as usual, at least there was no danger of starvation or thirst.
At first, Ji Moli couldn't accept such a change, and she desperately wanted to escape from Chu's house, but after repeated failures, she began to recognize the reality.
From the beginning she refused to eat and found it hard to swallow the meager food. Later, no matter what the kitchen brought, she could eat everything without any wastage.
People grow up little by little through these hardships. The harder life is, the faster they grow, because none of us want to live in pain.
Things that Ji Moli had never done before, such as changing the child's diaper, bathing, or holding him and humming songs to sleep, now she has learned to do them one by one. Without anyone to help, she has to accompany the child.
The howling kept me awake all night, or I would have to do it myself in exchange for a moment of peace.
She is not a good mother, and she knows it herself. She has a mixture of love and hate for this child. She loves him because he has brought her a stable life, and hates him because she knows that this stability is actually a fake.
Unreal, with just one flaw, everything will disappear.
But now, the truth has surfaced, and Chu's mother hates her so much that her teeth itch. If it weren't for the power of the Ji family, Ji Moli feels that she would have been filled in the pond long ago. She already feels lucky to be alive. She doesn't
Asking for more, she also found that her feelings for the child were getting deeper and deeper.
The little life she had always disliked now relied on her to survive. Even that wholehearted trust made her feel very precious.
Only when you lose everything can you know what is most precious to you, but often by then it is too late.
Ji Moli was lucky. It was not too late when she knew the truth, and everything could still be undone.
"I want to know where she is. You have to tell me." Chu Di hasn't seen her for a long time. This woman who has been racking her brains to marry him must hate him very much now. Otherwise, she wouldn't
She would face him with an expression that looked like she wanted to eat someone.
Ji Moli hugged the child and replied coldly, "I don't know. Even if I know, I can't tell you. If I tell you, the old lady won't let me go. By then, you two will stay together and fly together, keep me."
Hao'er has suffered, Chu Di, I'm not that stupid."
"So, do you know where she is?" Chu Di heard Ji Moli's words and immediately asked. He was really desperate, otherwise he wouldn't come to ask for Ji Moli. Ji Moli was locked up every day
There must be something known about the Chu family's old house. Even if she didn't see it with her own eyes, she could infer something by listening to people's gossip.
However, he was anxious, but Ji Moli was not. Ji Moli was weighing how much benefit she would get from telling Lin Xiangwan's whereabouts. This was her last bargaining chip, and she must use it well.
"She is in this house, haven't you found her? Oh, by the way, I can't blame you. You don't usually live here. The old lady has changed the house many times, and many places have been hollowed out.
It's been filled up, you don't even know. How about it? Isn't it uncomfortable to not be able to find the one you love? Let me tell you, what good can I do? Can you take me out? If you agree, I might
Consider telling you something." Ji Moli replied in a sinister tone. These words made her feel much better. The grievances she had suffered these days seemed to be healed instantly.
This man, the man she once loved so deeply, the man who was willing to give everything to stay with him for the rest of her life, she was deceived by him after all.
What he wanted was the support of the huge Ji family, not her.
She never appeared in his eyes, not even for a minute or a second.
There is only one woman in his heart, and she has always been the only one.
"If you tell me where she is, I will not only let you and the child go, but I will also give you a sum of money. You can take him back to Ji's house or wherever you go. My mother will definitely not cause trouble for you again in the future.
, is this enough?”
"How can I know if what you said is true? If I tell you and you don't let us go, what will I do?" Ji Moli didn't believe what Chu Di said. She had had enough of him.
Lies, although most of the time he didn't even care to tell her a lie. He looked at her directly and silently, as if she was not his wife, but some shameless woman who refused to leave in his house.
.
"What do you think I can do by keeping you?" Chu Di's attitude was very anxious, and a very uneasy feeling enveloped his heart. Damn it, so many days have passed. Lin Xiangwan and Ye Nan, what on earth did they do?
That's it! If it continues like this, they...
Chu Di forced himself not to think any more and calmed down. He continued, "It is the old lady who wants to keep you, not me. I can have someone send you out first. The money is already prepared. As long as I find
Lin Xiangwan, I will send the money to you, Ji Moli, after all, we have been married for so long, I think I should still have this trust."
"...Besides money, I have one thing, my father's company..."
Ji Moli wanted to fight for more, but Chu Di interrupted her rudely.
"That's a corporate behavior, and it's not something I can do alone. Even if the Chu family didn't get involved, the Ji family wouldn't be able to survive much. You've invested too much money in real estate, and it's already exceeded the load. If you go by last year,
In that kind of real estate market, the Ji family is expected to make a lot of money, but no one expected that the government would introduce purchase restrictions this year. Your family's capital chain is completely tied up in the real estate market. Now the loan check is very tight. Even if I want to help, I can't.
There is nothing you can do. Ji Moli, you have also studied economics. You should understand these principles better than me. I will not risk the Chu family just to save a company that is destined to die, so don't mention this kind of thing again in the future.
It’s a waste of time.”
Chu Di refused very bluntly, which made Ji Moli feel angry, but what he said was completely reasonable, so she couldn't find anything to criticize at all. Although the Chu family and the Ji family seemed to cooperate because of their marriage, in fact, their father had never been together.
He had seen the unreliability of this marriage from the beginning, so he had no intention of cooperating with Chu Di sincerely. Now that something like this happened to the Ji family, it was completely his own fault.
Ji Moli gritted her teeth and made a decision, "Okay, you send me and the child out first. As soon as I return to Ji's house, I will tell you where Lin Xiangwan is being held!"
The waiting time was as long as it had frozen. Chu Di held the phone tightly, the sweat on his palm blurring the screen. He watched the numbers on the electronic display change one after another, and his heart was on fire.
The moment Ji Moli appeared on the screen, he had already connected the phone before the phone rang. Ji Moli didn't seem to expect that he would answer the call so quickly. She paused before saying, "Lock Lin Xiangwan."
You have to go in from the old lady’s room...you’d better hurry up...otherwise..."
Chu Di didn't listen to what he said next. He threw away the phone and immediately ran towards Chu's mother's room.
No wonder Chu's mother didn't stop him from carrying out large-scale construction in the old house. No wonder she always sat in her room and refused to come out. Originally...originally...
