And they are the biggest elders, even Mrs. Jiang can't say anything.

Coupled with the matter of adopting Jiang Yueli, the old man felt that this family was too much, and became more indifferent to Jiang Yutian.

At the beginning, Mrs. Jiang adopted a child casually in order to make her daughter feel at ease, but because of the reason that "I don't want to share the love I gave my daughter to others", she treated the adopted child like a cat or dog outside.

The two old people even quarreled with Mrs. Jiang because of this. They felt that she was too harsh, but Mrs. Jiang stopped her with a word.

She said that this is a child she brought back, a life bestowed by her, otherwise she would have starved to death in the orphanage, and she should be grateful to herself for this alone, so she can raise it however she wants.

"I have no shortage of food and clothing for her. Ordinary people still have to pay for staying in a hotel. I have raised her for more than ten years in vain. What else does she want to ask for? Does she still need to offer her up as a Bodhisattva?" Jiang said at the time. Ma'am said so.

Looking back now, what an ironic scene.

In the case of Jiang Yueli, the two old men finally saw clearly the extremely selfish face of their daughter, and often felt that they must have committed some crimes in their previous lives to raise such a heartless daughter.

Since then, the contact between the two old men and Jiang's family has decreased year by year, and occasionally when they have to move around during the holidays, they will only be kinder to Jiang Yueli - just out of sympathy.

This point fell into Jiang Yutian's eyes, but it became another reason to hate Jiang Yueli. She always felt that Jiang Yueli must have said bad things about herself in front of her grandparents, so they hated her.

But at this moment, it is meaningless to care about these issues.

After all, grandma is the most senior elder in the family, Jiang Yutian is still a little afraid of her, and dares to hide behind his elder brother at this time, pretending that he does not exist.

The other elder brothers were in a similar mood. Grandpa's sternness was also a shadow of their childhood. After being severely reprimanded by grandma, they didn't dare to say anything more.

As a result, the noisy restaurant suddenly fell into a dead silence.

The old man sat down at the table, looked at Mrs. Jiang for a while, and then turned to look at Zhong Yulan: "Girl Lan, please call that child back. We did this dishonestly. We apologize to her face to face."

After the old man spoke, everyone found Zhong Yulan standing in the corner with an anxious expression on his face.

"I can't contact her anymore." Zhong Yulan continued to press the call button, but there was still a mechanical shutdown reminder on the other end of the phone, "Her phone has been turned off."

.......

the other side of the city

Holding the computer in his arms, Jiang Yueli came out from under a pile of ruins in a disheveled state.

Lu Mingxuan stood outside and stretched out her hand: "Did you find it?"

Jiang Yueli wiped his face, nodded, "I found it, let's go."

Lu Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked down at her phone: "Fortunately, we can still catch up with the time, and the car I ordered should be here soon."

It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and there were less than five hours left before Mr. Hua's birthday banquet began.

The location of the two is in the northern suburbs of the city. Hua's house is close to the south of the city. Even if there is no traffic jam on the road, it will take at least more than an hour. Including changing clothes and receiving gifts in the middle, the time is already quite tight. that's it.

Originally, Lu Mingxuan was also hesitating whether to cancel the birthday banquet directly, so as not to disrupt Han Lin's plan at this time, but firstly, there was too little time, and secondly, Jiang Yueli also suggested that she go directly.

"Don't worry, they should be able to find the key evidence by now." Jiang Yueli said, "And if you go, you can still attract the hatred of those people—you can pay more attention to those people. People see your expression."

In fact, Jiang Yueli was right. Lu Mingxuan received a call from Han Lin just as the two got into the car.

Han Lin didn't get straight to the point, but asked tactfully, "Where are you now?"

Lu Mingxuan glanced at Jiang Yueli, and the latter nodded slightly to her, indicating that she could speak directly.

"On the way back." Lu Mingxuan asked again, "What's wrong?"

"Little—Miss Jiang is also by your side?"

"Correct."

Han Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Please tell her that Jiang Feng will go there at night, and let them contact by themselves."

Lu Mingxuan relayed the message as she said, and then said: "We'll just go there so it won't affect your 'plan', right?"

Han Lin suddenly fell silent when he heard the words.

Lu Mingxuan had a bad feeling in her heart: "...Brother Lin?"

Her palms were sweating, and she didn't even notice that her voice was trembling.

Jiang Yueli lowered her head, and grabbed Lu Mingxuan's trembling hand with her free hand, which was then unconsciously held tightly by the latter. She could feel the other party's uneasiness and tension.

Han Lin on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time before lowering his volume: "Mingxuan, I have some bad news for you. You...you should be mentally prepared."

Lu Mingxuan straightened her back, unconsciously pulled the corners of her lips, her eyes were unfocused, until she felt her palm being scratched——

Two, three.

She turned her head subconsciously, but only met Jiang Yueli's expressionless face. After staring at each other for a while, the latter turned away and looked out the window.
