This early morning investment directly caused Mu Qian to be completely unable to get out of bed the next day.
She was still in a deep sleep when she was awakened by Huo Jinxi's ringing phone. When she turned over and covered her head to continue sleeping, she heard Huo Jinxi's voice answering the phone.
"...find anything...send the information to my email...continue to check, don't let go of any clues..."
Some of the keywords he used when answering the phone touched Mu Qian's nerves, but she really had no strength and could only give up thinking temporarily.
When Huo Jinxi finished answering the phone and lowered his head to kiss her, she said in a daze: "Huo Jinxi, today you send Qi Ran to school..."
After saying this, Mu Qian lost consciousness again.
When she woke up again, it was already past nine in the morning, and Huo Jinxi was not at home. She must have sent Huo Qiran to school and had not returned yet.
Mu Qian stood up with some difficulty. While brushing her teeth feebly in the bathroom, the phone call Huo Jinxi had answered suddenly flashed in her mind.
What is he checking?
After this question flashed through her mind, Mu Qian suddenly woke up, washed her face quickly, walked out of the room and entered Huo Jinxi's study.
After turning on the computer, Mu Qian entered Huo Jinxi's email account and password in a familiar manner, and then saw the files lying in Huo Jinxi's inbox.
The unread email at the top had an attachment. Mu Qian clicked on it and quickly opened the attachment.
What surprised her slightly was that this turned out to be an investigation report, and the incident under investigation was the case of Lu Yiyun being burned alive in the fire!
Mu Qian had investigated this case before, but because it was so old and not much information was preserved, she really couldn't find any clues, so she stopped looking into it.
But at this moment, the email she was looking at clearly told her that when Lu Yiyun died, her five-year-old daughter was rescued from the fire!
In other words, when Lu Yiyun had a fire accident, Lu Ran was at the scene!
This discovery surprised Mu Qian. Just when she was about to take a closer look at the relevant evidence, Huo Jinxi opened the door and walked into the study.
Mu Qian suddenly raised her eyes to look at him. When he saw Mu Qian, he was not surprised and just said: "Did you see it?"
"Did you find someone to check on Lu Yujiang?" Mu Qian asked.
"It's not just Lu Yujiang." Huo Jinxi said.
Mu Qian was slightly startled.
This means that he is probably investigating the entire Lu family.
Although Mu Qian knew that Huo Jinxi was doing something behind her back since Lu Yujiang's accident, she thought that he was just targeting Lu Yujiang to avenge her previous murder. Unexpectedly
After Lu Yujiang was detained, his investigation continued, and targeted the entire Lu family.
Mu Qian originally thought that this was her business.
Huo Jinxi would not have interfered too much in these matters.
"Why?" Although she already had a vague answer in her mind, Mu Qian couldn't help but ask.
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi raised his eyes to look at her and said slowly: "You can finish what you want to do earlier so that you can do what I want to do, right?"
Mu Qian laughed out loud immediately.
What is he going to do?
Regarding her, besides asking her to give birth to a daughter, what else does he have to do?
Then, Mu Qian stretched out her hand and hung Huo Jinxi's neck, hanging on him.
This position was uncomfortable, so Huo Jinxi reached out, picked her up, and put her on the desk.
In this way, the two people are much more harmonious.
Mu Qian still clung to him, "Well, now that you have done everything I want to do, what should I do?"
Huo Jinxi stretched out his hand, caressed the corner of her lips, and said lightly: "Cultivation of body and mind."
Mu Qian thought that the next sentence she didn't say should be - get ready to have children.
"Having a child is not my business alone." Mu Qian said, "So, checking the Lu family is not your business alone."
After saying that, she raised her face and took the initiative to kiss Huo Jinxi.
Huo Jinxi held the back of her head and felt as if she was enjoying it.
After a long time, Mu Qian remembered the information he had received again, and hurriedly separated from him, panting slightly and saying, "Wait, wait, let's talk about business first."
This early in the morning, I almost indulged in love affairs again. I really shouldn’t, I shouldn’t!
Mu Qian quickly calmed down and looked at Huo Jinxi seriously.
Huo Jinxi's eyes fell on her red lips, but he just said: "It's not impossible to do two things at once."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the study door. After closing the door, he locked it.
Mu Qian was sitting on the desk with her arms supported. When she saw this situation, she couldn't help but swing her thin legs under her nightgown and said, "Ah, isn't this good..."
"Well, not good." Huo Jinxi said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked up to Mu Qian again, leaned over and kissed her.
So, two people who said "not good" on one side did a "bad" thing in an unusually harmonious manner.
…
After it was over, Mu Qianlai lay in Huo Jinxi's arms and looked at the document carefully.
"Why was it that when I checked this matter, I didn't find any information saying that Lu Ran was also involved in the fire at that time?" Mu Qian was confused.
Huo Jinxi pushed her long hair to one side of her shoulders and said slowly: "That can only mean that someone deliberately concealed this message, including in official documents."
Mu Qian immediately thought of Sha Yunping, who had been exposed and killed, and turned slightly to look at Huo Jinxi.
Indeed, with people like Sha Yunping around, it would be easy for the Lu family to hide any information.
What's more, so much time has passed, and a lot of information has long been lost. It is extremely rare to find this hidden gem.
"Lu Ran was already five years old when the fire broke out, so she shouldn't have any memory at all." Mu Qian said, "But she doesn't seem to remember such a thing happening at all."
"Five years old, after all, is still very young, and it was such a big disaster." Huo Jinxi said, "After being frightened, I forgot everything, or -"
Mu Qian took over the conversation and said slowly: "Or maybe someone deliberately wanted her to forget this matter."
Mu Qian turned to look at Huo Jinxi and continued: "Perhaps Lu Yujiang adopted Lu Ran and let her grow up in isolation, not allowing her to come into contact with people and things outside, not just because it was almost crazy.
possessiveness, and other reasons——"
…
That afternoon, Mu Qian received a call from Lu Ran.
Although Mu Qian had told Lu Ran to call her, she didn't expect that Lu Ran could actually make the call. It could be seen that once something happened to Lu and Jiang, others really didn't care about Lu Ran.
Despite this, Mu Qian still called Lu Yuchuan.
"Lu Ran called me and said she wanted me to take her out for a walk, is that okay?" Mu Qian asked Lu Yuchuan for his opinion, "Don't worry, she wants to see her cousin, I'll just take her there."
After hearing this, Lu Yuchuan just smiled and said, "What should I worry about? Since she believes in you, then you can go with her."
As soon as Lu and Chuan agreed, Mu Qian seemed to have received royal approval and smoothly took Lu Ran out and accompanied her to find her cousin, Ni Xin.
Lu Ran knew almost nothing about the current Ni Xin, but Mu Qian easily found out that Ni Xin was now working as a counselor in a university.
"I haven't seen my cousin for several years." Lu Ran said, "I don't know what has become of my cousin."
In fact, ever since Lu and Jiang became aware of Ni Xin's influence on Lu Ran, they cut off all contact between them.
Lu Yujiang originally liked Ni Xin's reticence and arranged for her to accompany Lu Ran. Who knew that under her influence, Lu Ran would inexplicably fall in love with Huo Jinbei, whom he had never met before?
Lu Yujiang was naturally furious. No matter how much Lu Ran begged, Ni Xin never got the qualification to set foot in the Lu family again.
While talking, the car drove into the university campus.
Lu Ran lay on the car window again, looking at the college students walking around the campus holding books, with a look of envy clearly in his eyes.
"Will I have many friends when I go to school?" Lu Ran murmured.
Mu Qian smiled and said: "Of course. You have to know that a school has several grades, and each grade has different majors and classes. You can make friends in your own class, or in other classes, or in other classes.
You can make friends in other majors, other grades, and even other schools."
Lu Ran couldn't help but become more fascinated after hearing this.
When the car stopped under an office building, Lu Ran suddenly came back to his senses, "Does my cousin work here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a graceful and elegant woman wearing glasses suddenly walked out of the stairs. After seeing Mu Qian, she said with some uncertainty: "You are looking for me?"
"Cousin!" Lu Ran suddenly opened the door and got out of the car.
Ni Xin's eyes widened instantly, "Lu Ran?!"
…
The two cousins have not seen each other for several years, and Ni Xin has obviously changed a lot. The look in Lu Ran's eyes is still gentle and distressed.
Lu Ran seemed to be very happy just to see her, and she didn't know how to socialize. After being happy for a while, his attention was quickly attracted by the various student materials in Ni Xin's office. He held them in his hands and turned over them endlessly.
Ni Xin knew what kind of environment she grew up in, so it was up to her.
Mu Qian glanced at Ni Xin's desk and smiled slightly, "Does Miss Ni have a boyfriend?"
Ni Xin followed her line of sight and looked at the couple's photo on the table. Her face heated up slightly and she said, "That's my husband."
"Are you married?" Mu Qian was slightly surprised and laughed, "I'm sorry, this sounds a bit abrupt, but I thought you should have deep feelings for Huo Jinbei."
Hearing Huo Jinbei's name, Ni Xin blushed instantly, and then said: "He... he is my high school classmate and college alumnus. He is a very good person. I used to be... full of fantasies about him."
And fascination. However, that is already a thing of the past. When you were young, who didn’t have some unrealistic fantasies? When you grow up, you will gradually face reality."
After hearing what she said, Mu Qian felt the same way and nodded in agreement.
When she was young, how often did she have those unrealistic fantasies?
However, fortunately, after many years, her former fantasies merged with reality.
Realizing that she was thinking about Huo Jinxi again for some reason, Mu Qian quickly recovered her thoughts and said, "Actually, in addition to accompanying Lu Ran to see you today, I also have some things I want to ask you."
"Say." Ni Xin has a calm temperament, is very easy to get along with, and can communicate easily.
Mu Qian lowered her voice and said, "When you met Lu Ran again, was her memory damaged?"
Hearing this question, Ni Xin seemed to remember something instantly, nodded quickly and said: "Yes."
Lu Ran was sitting on the desk next to him, looking at the graduation photos of previous students in the school, without paying any attention to them.
Mu Qian continued to chat with Ni Xin, "She doesn't remember what happened before?"
"She didn't even remember who I was," Ni Xin said. "Mr. Lu said that she was so frightened by the fire in which her aunt died that she almost didn't remember anything after she woke up."
Mu Qian couldn't help but pause slightly after hearing this.
Since Lu Ran couldn't remember anything, why would Lu and Jiang arrange for Ni Xin to accompany her? Is it okay to arrange for someone to pretend to be Lu Ran's cousin?
Unless...he wanted to use the real Ni Xin to test whether Lu Ran really didn't remember anything.
After a try, he got the answer he wanted, and Lu Ran had already identified Ni Xin as his cousin, and Ni Xin was taciturn and well-behaved, so he simply let Ni Xin continue to accompany Lu Ran.
In this way, Lu Ran's lost memory seems to be very crucial.
After chatting with Ni Xin, Mu Qian had a phone call with Huo Jinbei.
After hanging up the phone, she happened to hear Ni Xin agree to take Lu Ran shopping, so she happily went along.
For Lu Ran, shopping is also an extremely novel experience.
It was a huge shopping mall, and she went from store to store, admiring all the products.
Ni Xin is worthy of being a counselor and understands Lu Ran's situation, so she gently and patiently gave Lu Ran a lot of advice and guidance along the way. Mu Qian listened to the side and felt that Lu Ran's life had become worse after this round of shopping.
Skills should be improved by countless points.
When the three of them walked into a men's clothing store, Lu Ran suddenly picked up a white shirt, turned to Mu Qian and Ni Xin and asked, "Would Huo Jinbei look good in this dress? Would it be okay to buy it and give it to him?"
"
Hearing her question, Ni Xin felt a little embarrassed for a moment and glanced at Mu Qian sheepishly.
Mu Qian suddenly remembered something else, and when Lu Ran wasn't paying attention, she secretly asked Ni Xin: "Huo Jinbei hasn't had a girlfriend in so many years. In fact, there are some differences between your classmates about his sexual orientation.
No guesses?"
"Ah?" Ni Xin was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing. He chuckled and said, "He likes girls... Although he doesn't seem to have had a girlfriend, he should have liked her.
A girl’s.”
"Who is it?" Mu Qian asked immediately.
"A school girl has a good family background and is very beautiful. When I was stupid, I didn't want to believe this fact. But after thinking about it, for a person like him, he probably really likes that girl, so he is so gentle and patient.
.”
"What about this school girl?"
"She went abroad after her freshman year." Ni Xin said, "By the way, I heard some time ago that she got married..."
