Mr. Gu, my wife has blocked you.

Song Tianjun paused for a moment and said calmly, "These roses have been growing for decades, and some of their roots have penetrated deep into the foundation. They are not easy to clean and do not need to be renovated."

"Okay, let me tell my parents about it."

"Well, let's go."

After hanging up the phone, Song Tianjun flipped through a few pages of information and put it aside.

The roses in the yard were planted by him and his mother together.

The flowers have bloomed and fallen over the years, but she can no longer see them.

----

When Gu Jingyan returned to the ward, his great-grandfather had rested.

Qiao Ruoxing sat back on the chair, half-closed her eyes, and looked a little tired.

As soon as he came in, she was startled.

She raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes cold and indifferent.

"Come out." Gu Jingyan said to her.

Qiao Ruoxing stood up, picked up her coat and followed Gu Jingyan away.

Neither of them spoke a word along the way. When they got into the car, Gu Jingyan said, "Where did you go last night?"

"With Mr. Song, didn't you hear everything?"

Gu Jingyan pursed his lips, "Do you know how extensive and extensive the police's Sky Eye system is now?"

Qiao Ruoxing raised her eyes lightly, her face neither green nor red, "How old are you?"

Gu Jingyan's eyes darkened, "As long as your face is captured by surveillance, they have plenty of ways to find your whereabouts."

"So awesome? Then why are there so many unsolved cases?"

Gu Jingyan's forehead twitched, "Do you think I'm joking with you?"

"No," Qiao Ruoxing said lightly, "It's a good thing that the eye is so developed. Find the murderer as soon as possible and clear my name as soon as possible."

"Are you innocent?"

Qiao Ruoxing paused, glanced at the cell phone he was holding, and suddenly smiled, "Are you trying to trick me?"

Gu Jingyan said nothing.

Qiao Ruoxing's eyes dimmed, she leaned close to his ear and said slowly, "Gu Jingyan, do you still remember what I said that night at the charity gala?"

Gu Jingyan was stunned.

Some memories gradually emerged in my mind.

She said: Gu Jingyan, this is the last time I will give in to Gu Jingyang.I think she was young and didn't care about the things she did in the past, but in the future, if she talks rudely to me again, I will never show mercy.You can protect her, but at worst I'll die. Anyway, I'm going to die, so I have to fight for it no matter what.

She does what she says.

Gu Jingyan turned to look at her.

Qiao Ruoxing moved away and brushed the hair on her shoulder.

"What happened to Jingyang, I'm just as sad as you," she looked at Gu Jingyan, "I'm really sad."

Sad that I didn't get a few more slaps.

She wasn't afraid of Gu Jingyan's recording. What could her words prove?

She just wanted to tell Gu Jingyan that since the Gu family couldn't give her justice, she would get it back herself.

She thought Gu Jingyan would get angry.

She knew very well how much their family was used to Gu Jingyang. How could Gu Jingyan give up after she beat their beloved like this?

But Gu Jingyan didn't say anything. He was silent for a long time and then said, "Go home. Grandpa said he wanted to drink pigeon soup."

Qiao Ruoxing was startled.

His throat was stuck, and he finally said nothing.

I don’t know if the Gu family was deliberately suppressing the fact that Gu Jingyang was beaten, and it didn’t spread in the circle.

After all, being kidnapped and only beaten once was not very convincing. Maybe he was also violated. In short, as word spread, it was uncertain how the situation would develop, so the Gu family suppressed the news.

The police have also made no progress.

It was originally thought to be an ordinary case of violent assault, but the investigation was repeatedly hindered. First, the surveillance camera was replaced, and then it was discovered that the car that kidnapped the person was a scrapped car with a fake license plate.

When they looked for it, the cars had been scrapped and no clues were found.

Zhong Meilan ran to the police station and made a fuss several times, and was almost detained by the police. In the end, the old lady found someone to calm the matter down, and Zhong Meilan was also reprimanded by the old lady.

Qiao Ruoxing himself didn't even expect that this matter would end in nothing.

Grandpa was discharged from the hospital a week later. He recovered well and got up early every day to do morning exercises as usual.

Three nights later, when Qiao Ruoxing returned home, she didn't see her great-grandfather asking her to wash her hands and eat as usual. Instead, she found the words he left for herself on the chair where he often sat.

"The spotted pig at home is about to give birth to piglets. I have to go back to deliver the baby. I will roast the suckling pig for you during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

He just left Jiangcheng quietly without saying hello to anyone.

After Qiao Ruoxing confirmed that he returned to his hometown safely, he was busy filming and planning the old lady's birthday party.

Soon she faced her first problem.

The venue for the birthday banquet was reserved by someone else first.

It's not that Jiangcheng can't rent decent venues, but in terms of scenery and size, Longhu is certainly the best. The old lady holds a birthday party every ten years, so naturally she can't be too ostentatious.

She contacted the person in charge here and wanted the phone number of the customer there to see if they could discuss it.

But the person in charge rejected her, so Qiao Ruoxing wanted to find the owner of the place.

As a result, I searched and found Mrs. Chen.

It turns out that this venue is the property of Mrs. Chen's family. When the other party heard that she wanted to coordinate the time of renting the venue, she looked embarrassed and said, "Mrs. Gu, it's not that I don't want to help you. I'm hosting a wedding banquet and the date has already been booked. How do you tell me to talk to others?"

Qiao Ruoxing said, "Mrs. Chen, help me talk to them. If it can be exchanged, I am willing to return three times the deposit they paid."

Mrs. Chen smiled, with a somewhat contemptuous expression, "Mrs. Gu, your Qiao family probably hasn't held a big banquet before, so you may not know that someone who can hold a wedding banquet here in Longhu really doesn't need the deposit."

Qiao Ruoxing's expression calmed down, "Of course I understand what Mrs. Chen said, but the old lady's birthday party is only held once every ten years, so I have to do my best. Mrs. Chen opens the door to do business, so it's natural not to offend customers. In this way, you give me the contact information of the customers who made the appointment, and I will talk to them myself. If I can persuade them, I will be fully responsible for liquidated damages or other things. Is this okay? "

"Mrs. Gu, you also said that I am doing business with an open door. The most basic principle of doing business is to protect the privacy of customers. If I disclose customer information to you today and the customer spreads this matter tomorrow, I have been doing this for many years. The reputation we have built will be ruined, so who would dare to do our business?"

Qiao Ruoxing pursed her lips.

"Okay," Mrs. Chen stood up, "I have other guests coming right now, so I won't leave Mrs. Gu alone. You can go check out other places. There are a lot of places in Jiangcheng. Take a look. We can find the right one.”

After sending Qiao Ruoxing away, Mrs. Chen picked up her cell phone and dialed Zhong Meilan's number.

"Sister Lan, don't worry. If you tell me something, can I still handle it?"

Zhong Meilan said calmly, "Sorry to trouble you, I will help you make up for the damage to the venue."

"No, just pay attention to what I told you last time. I have already told you about several other large venues. It's not that easy for Qiao Ruoxing to rent them."

After hanging up the phone, there was the sound of glass breaking behind me.
