Shen Ke picked up Duoduo and said after a while: "Uncle is not someone else."
Duoduo seemed to understand, and buried his face in Shen Ke's neck.
Xi Wanlai was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained his composure: "My car is over there."
Shen Ke sat in the back with Duoduo in his arms. Xi Wanlai didn't say anything else along the way.
He was now certain that she was Coco. But why did she pretend not to know him? And that child, was she and her eldest brother's?
Xi Wanlai didn't know that Shen Ke had a miscarriage when she was kidnapped in Macau.

In the evening, he returned to Xiyuan for the first time.
The family happened to be at the dinner table. When Fu Tingfang saw him coming back, his face showed joy: "You're back late? Xiao Zheng, go and add a pair of bowls and chopsticks."
Xi Wanlai said calmly while changing her shoes: "No, I've eaten outside."
Xi Changzhi coughed unhappily: "Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep, just eat."
For a while, the only sound that could be heard was the clinking of bowls and chopsticks.
Even though Xi Xiangdong tried to ignore it, he still felt Xi Wanlai's unusual gaze.
After eating, he stood up and asked, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Xi Wanlai hesitated to speak. At that moment, he thought viciously that he would take exactly the same revenge back then: The eldest brother knew that Coco was by his side and turned her into Pei Xiao to deceive him all the time. So this time, is it? If he found the cocoa first, could he hide it and use despicable means to get the cocoa again?
Thinking of this, he pulled his lips and smiled: "It's nothing, I just feel sorry for my eldest brother. If Keke doesn't come back, are you planning to never have any children for the rest of your life?"
Xi Xiangdong ignored his provocation, but keenly caught the weakness in his words: "You said 'not coming back', but you didn't mean 'absent'. It seems that like me, you always believe that she is not dead."
After he finished speaking, he went upstairs alone, leaving Xi Wanlai feeling very upset.
The assistant called: "Mr. Xi, we have already made inquiries at Fenghuang Mountain Cemetery. It is a man and a woman who bought the cemetery."
Xi Xiangdong's heart suddenly tightened: "What does that woman... look like?"
"The salesperson can't remember clearly. I just know that he was very thin, as if he was sick, and that he had injuries on his face."
"..." Xi Xiangdong held the phone and didn't speak for a long time.
"But they have left a contact number, I will send it to you via text message later."
After hanging up the phone, Xi Xiangdong called back according to the number on the text message. While waiting, his palms trembled slightly.
It took about half a minute for someone to answer the phone, but it was a formulaic front desk voice: "Hello, Bojia Trading Company."
He directly hung up the phone, his eyes dark with desire.
This trading company is a money laundering company used by Rao Qiyun as a front.
A few days later, I received a call from Rao Qiyun. His secretary said, "Mr. Rao has invited you to dinner."
The place was chosen by Rao Qiyun. Unexpectedly, it was exceptionally clean. As soon as he entered the club, he could still hear the sound of Zen in the side hall, as if someone was talking about Buddha. He happened to meet a monk walking towards him, and Rao Qiyun actually clasped his hands. , bowed his head and saluted the other party.
Rao Qiyun seemed to see the surprise in his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Xi, you are an intellectual. I have to choose a clean and elegant place to invite you to dinner. Don't think that we only know nightclubs all day long. We are living and drinking, and my subordinate Xiao Twelve is still studying electronic technology in the UK. Times are progressing, and we have to keep pace with the times, right?"
