Unexpectedly, Mu Qian didn't seem too surprised after hearing the news.
On the contrary, her eyes were unusually calm.
After a moment of silence, Mu Qian asked again: "Is Lu Yuan's mother still there?"
Meng Linsheng said slowly: "As far as I know, she should be gone long ago."
After hearing this, Mu Qian just smiled and nodded.
She had already thought about this - if Lu Yuan's mother was still alive, how could Lu Yuan say those words about her parents' marriage relationship when she came to see her?
"Thank you, Mr. Meng." Mu Qian quickly stood up, "Sorry to disturb you today."
Meng Linsheng vaguely noticed something, but didn't ask much. He just stood up slowly and said, "If you want to know anything else about Sheng Lin, I can help you check it out."
"No need." Mu Qian said, "I will check out the things I want to know myself. Thank you."
She thanked her again and again, and Meng Linsheng stopped asking any more questions. After a faint smile, she sent Mu Qian out.
As soon as Mu Qian left Meng Linsheng's company, she immediately called Rong Heng.
"Can you help me check a person's information?" Mu Qian asked straight to the point.
Rong Heng's voice was inexplicably alert, "Who?"
"Lu Yuan's biological mother, named Sheng Lin, has passed away." Mu Qian said.
After hearing this, Rong Heng suddenly exhaled: "Who is this? Is it that important?"
Mu Qian suddenly noticed something, "What do you mean?"
Rong Heng paused for a moment, then continued: "Don't you and your husband communicate with each other? I just sent this Sheng Lin's information to my second brother."
Mu Qian couldn't help but be startled after hearing this.
Huo Jinxi actually started checking Shenglin one step ahead of her. In other words, Huo Jinxi also noticed something?
He was a bystander, and his thoughts should be clearer than hers, so when she was extremely confused, he made up his mind for her and sent the jasmine picture to Rong Qingzi; but before she had time to wake up,
He had already started investigating the matter.
Mu Qian originally just investigated these things with the intention of finding out the truth, but at this moment, when she learned that Huo Jinxi was also investigating Shenglin, she felt as if there was a hole in a corner of her heart, feeling inexplicably empty and lost.
, from that hole, it spreads endlessly.
…
On this day, Huo Jinxi went out for a meeting, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to the company.
As soon as he arrived at the office, Zhuang Yan quickly came forward and said, "Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo is here and is waiting for you in the office."
Huo Jinxi heard this and asked, "How long have you been here?"
Zhuang Yan pursed her lips and looked at the time before replying: "It's almost two hours."
Huo Jinxi's eyes darkened.
Qi saw the situation and said quickly: "Why don't you call and say something?"
Zhuang Yan said quickly: "It was Mrs. Huo who asked me not to disturb Mr. Huo's work. She said she had nothing else to do and could wait..."
Huo Jinxi didn't wait for her to finish speaking and walked directly into the office.
Opening the door, Mu Qian was sitting in his office chair, looking bored, with his head raised and a piece of bubble gum he had just blown up in his mouth.
Hearing the sound, Mu Qian lowered her eyes and saw him, and immediately blew the bubbles in her mouth even bigger.
When Huo Jinxi closed the door and came over, she blew the bubbles and made her mouth brittle.
Despite this, she still sat there quietly, motionless.
Huo Jinxi stepped forward, reached out and picked her up from the chair, then sat down and put her on his lap.
After being forced to move her body for a while, Mu Qian seemed to have gained some strength. She raised her hand and took a tissue to clean up the bubble gum in her mouth.
"When I came to the company, I met Manager Jia who asked for leave to take his son to see a doctor. His son gave me a piece of bubble gum." Mu Qian wiped his mouth and said, "I haven't eaten it in a long time. It's quite interesting."
Huo Jinxi didn't express any opinion, just sat quietly and looked at her.
After Mu Qian finished arranging herself and threw away the tissue in her hand, she turned to look at him again and smiled slightly, "Okay, now let's talk about Sheng Lin."
Huo Jinxi had already guessed the purpose of her coming to him, so he didn't react much at the moment. After a moment of silence, he reached out and held Mu Qian's hand tightly.
Her hands were a little cold, so Huo Jinxi covered her hands and rubbed them gently a few times.
Until Mu Qian held him with her backhand and said almost impatiently: "Say it quickly!"
Huo Jinxi then spoke slowly: "Sheng Lin, a native of Tongcheng, was born in Qing'an Town in 1970."
Mu Qian originally planned to listen to him quietly, but as soon as she heard "Qing'an Town", she was startled uncontrollably.
Qing'an Town is also the place where Mu Huaian was born.
"In 1990, she gave birth to Lu Yuan unknown to Lu Yuchuan. One month later, Lu Yuchuan married Cheng Huiru. Five months later, Lu Yuchuan took Lu Yuan back to the Lu family, but Sheng Lin was missing.
.”
After hearing this, Mu Qian suddenly smiled bitterly.
This is probably a stupid woman who is pregnant, but the man next to her is preparing for a wedding with another woman. When she gives birth to a daughter, that man happens to be married to another woman - maybe she doesn't even know about this marriage.
I didn't know anything about it until I suddenly realized it half a year later.
"Until the winter of 1992, she died of liver disease in Huai City."
Mu Qian's eyes suddenly froze, "Huai City, 1992?"
After she slowly repeated the time and place, she suddenly chuckled.
1992, the year she was born, is no big deal.
But it happened to be Huai City.
Huai City is the city where Mu Huaian and Rong Qingzi settled after they eloped - they lived in that city for more than ten years. It was not until she was ten years old and Mu Huaian passed away that Rong Qingzi took her back to Tongcheng and threw her there.
The Huo family went to the United States alone.
Mu Qian shouldn't laugh, but she doesn't know why, but she just can't help it.
The place where Sheng Lin went after she disappeared and where she died of illness happened to be Huai City.
And she and Sheng Lin's daughter happened to have very similar eyes.
How does this make her guess the reason?
Seeing her smiling and then falling silent, Huo Jinxi didn't say anything for a while, but just looked at her quietly.
I met Lu Yuan and noticed Lu Yuan because of her eyes.
He thought of Mu Qian from Lu Yuan's eyes, but never thought of anything else.
But today, the information about Sheng Lin was placed in front of him, forcing him to think more.
After laughing, Mu Qian suddenly sighed, then looked at him and said: "By the way, you probably don't know yet, that jasmine painting was painted by my father for Sheng Lin. So, based on the above information, as you watch
From the perspective of a reporter, with your calmness and rationality, Huo Jinxi, what do you think of the whole thing?"
