Rebirth's guilt
Chapter 48
Sunan didn't know what his brother was going to tell him, but since it was worth his calling, it must be something very important.
In An Yanqing's villa, An Yanqing was fighting in the kitchen with the food delivered by the hotel, while Qiao Zhishen was invited by him to his carving room to see the jadeite he cut out and some carved jade objects.
Today's jadeites are all cut out in Yunnan before, and the wool bought in Myanmar is still placed in the basement.Recently, he has been concentrating on carving and has not solved a single stone.
When Sunan came back, An Yanqing was just putting the food on the table. When he saw Qiao Zhishen sitting at the table, he frowned and then flattened, and nodded lightly.
On the way, he received another call. On the phone, An Yanqing told him what he found this morning, and briefly explained what happened to the Han family back then.
Although An Yanqing was a little impulsive in inviting Qiao Zhishen to discuss, but Sunan knew that he was also anxious, so he didn't say anything.
It's just that the two briefly discussed how to cover up their identities, and finally decided to explain Sunan's original identity to Qiao Zhishen.As for the fact that An Yanqing is actually Han Jue, let's keep it a secret. His background is too mysterious, and Qiao Zhishen may not be able to accept it.
When Qiao Zhishen saw Sunan coming back, his expression didn't change, he smiled slightly and ignored him.Although there is disharmony between the two, at least they are no longer fighting against each other like last night.
Seeing this, An Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and asked Sunan to sit down, and suggested: "It's already noon, let's eat first. Let's talk about other things after dinner, okay?"
Sunan and Qiao Zhishen nodded silently when they heard the words, but Qiao Zhishen noticed that An Yanqing did not explain their identities.
Even though he and Sunan knew each other before, but at that time Sunan was from Lu's Jewelry, shouldn't An Yanqing explain a little bit?
As if he knew that the two had already met, it was so strange, could it be...
While eating, Qiao Zhishen was thinking casually, raised his eyes to look at An Yanqing who was serving food, and thought of something vaguely in his mind.Looking at Sunan opposite him, he was thinking about something, but he didn't seem to notice it.
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhishen put down his chopsticks, and asked An Yanqing, "Won't Yanqing introduce me to Mr. Su? When did your relationship become so good?"
An Yanqing paused with the chopsticks in his hand, subconsciously looked at Sunan, thinking about the phone call in the kitchen before, and the discussion between the two of them, he said with a smile: "This is the reason why I invited you here. Would you like to talk more?"
After Qiao Zhishen heard his answer, he knew that he had achieved his goal, so he nodded in satisfaction and didn't ask any more questions.The dinner table was a little dull, and the three of them were all worried about things, and just wanted to have a quick meal and talk.
After the meal, Sunan and Qiao Zhishen cleaned up the dishes, while An Yanqing went to the study to make tea while waiting for them.Sunan's eyes flickered when he saw Qiao Zhishen's strange movements.
When the two arrived at the study, An Yanqing had already been waiting for a long time.
The three sat facing each other, Qiao Zhishen took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes with some enjoyment, relaxed a little and said, "Now we can talk."
An Yanqing nodded, and Sunan introduced himself: "Sunan is my name after the age of 16, and before that, my name was Han Yu, the grandson of the chairman of Han's Jewelry, which went bankrupt not long ago."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhishen raised his eyes, and asked tentatively, "The Han family that was annexed by the Lu family?" Sunan nodded, not paying attention at all.
An Yanqing continued: "When I was in Myanmar, Sunan said that he wanted to consult me about something. He came yesterday, but I happened to be attending Jin Lao's banquet, so I asked him to wait for me at home. Then he said something about The characteristics of a certain kind of wool, I think it has something to do with you, to be precise, it has something to do with the Big Mac, so I brought you to see him."
When Qiao Zhishen heard this, his heart moved, he looked at An Yanqing and asked, "Which one is it?" An Yanqing nodded, motioning for Sunan to speak.
Sunan then recounted everything An Yanqing had told him on the phone before, explaining the fact that the Han family was on the verge of bankruptcy and being cheated and some information they found about the mine owner.
Hearing these words, Qiao Zhishen frowned more and more, and his heart sank.
"So the Han family's bankruptcy was actually premeditated, and it should have something to do with the Lu family." Pursing his lips, Qiao Zhi said in a deep voice, and then glanced at Sunan, "That means the mine owner is very It may have something to do with the Lu family."
Then Qiao Zhishen seemed to think of something, and casually mentioned: "I remember Lu Jiyuan, the manager of the Lu family, and your younger brother who seems to be named Han Jue seem to have some relationship."
Sunan's expression darkened when he heard this, and he glanced at An Yanqing, but found that he was normal except that his face was a little pale.His movements were not secretive, at least Qiao Zhishen noticed it and looked at An Yanqing, unable to understand the meaning of Sunan's movements.
Sunan said lightly: "These have nothing to do with this matter, there is no need to mention it."
Qiao Zhishen blinked, and did not mention it anymore, and asked instead: "Then is the Liu family related to this matter? I remember that the reason why Miss Liu's family married into the Lu family was because of the debts of the Liu family. It seems that there is also Mr. Lu. people meddling."
"Madam Lu?" Sunan and An Yanqing said at the same time, they looked at each other and Qiao Zhi shut up.Then Sunan asked: "What does this marriage have to do with Mrs. Lu?"
At that time, Sunan was in the United States and knew nothing about the Han family's affairs, and Han Jue was stumbling because of Han Yuanchen's betting failure, so he didn't have time to find out what happened.
Why did the lover who had promised to be together suddenly send an invitation.
At that time, he only had the anger and sadness of being betrayed, and he kept calling to seek an explanation, but no one answered Lu Jiyuan's phone.He went to the Lu's house to look for someone, but was also sent out by the Lu's servants, and the last time he saw that it was his Lu's butler, he didn't even open the door.
This kind of thing kept repeating, and after a period of time, he was completely disappointed at that time.He also has self-respect. He was rejected countless times, so he didn't go to make fun of himself.
Coupled with the fact that the Han family's affairs were really difficult, he didn't have the heart to investigate what happened after that period of time.Watching the wedding ceremony indifferently, wishing indifferently and then running away far away.
In fact, in this relationship, Lu Jiyuan paid far more than Han Jue.It was he who fell in love first, he confessed first, he pursued first, and he took the initiative.
And Han Jue seems to be passive forever, accepting confession, dating and so on.
Han Mu's affair and betrayal of his wife actually left a great impact on the young Han Jue. He didn't dare to believe in love too much, so he would always wait passively.
Even when dating Lu Jiyuan, he never took the initiative because he was afraid that once he took the initiative, he would be discarded.Isn't there a saying that a wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a thief, and stealing is worse than a robbery.
Once something is obtained too easily, no one will cherish it.
Han Jue had always distrusted Lu Jiyuan, so he had been passive. Although he fell into Lu Jiyuan's net in the end, he still maintained his rationality.Therefore, when she learned that Lu Jiyuan was going to marry Liu Qingran, although she was desperate and sad, it was more of a sad despair at the conclusion that there is no such thing as eternal love in this world.
"Liu Qingran's mother and Mrs. Lu seem to have some friendship. After Mrs. Lu learned that Lu Jiyuan and Liu Qingran have a good relationship, the two families have the intention of marrying. It's just that Lu Jiyuan has never let go, and Lu Guangxuan doesn't like Mrs. Lu, so naturally she doesn't want to be like her. But later, due to some reasons, coupled with the debt crisis of the Liu family, they naturally let go."
Qiao Zhishen didn't know what An Yanqing and Sunan were thinking, but just said what he knew lightly.When talking about some reasons, he also took a look at Sunan, as if to say that you know and I know.
Seeing his eyes, Sunan sneered in his heart, thinking to himself: Qiao Zhishen, Qiao Zhishen!If you knew An Yanqing beside you, the person you said you loved was Han Jue, would you still be able to say so easily?
Su Nan picked up the teacup and looked at the face of his younger brother beside him as if inadvertently. Although his face was expressionless, it was already very problematic.Sure enough, the memory of first love is always deep.
An Yanqing listened dumbly to what Qiao Zhishen's words meant, feeling empty in her heart and didn't know what it was like, as if she was talking about an insignificant person, or someone she didn't know at all.
Qiao Zhishen also wanted to fight against Sunan's arrogance, so he naturally didn't expect that An Yanqing would be Han Jue, which caused too many obstacles in his subsequent courtship.Of course, this is something for later, so I won’t mention it for now.
An Yanqing heard the words, and said calmly: "Su Nan and I are suspicious of Mrs. Lu and Liu Qingran." Seeing Qiao Zhishen's slightly puzzled eyes, Sunan thought that he hadn't told An Yanqing about the news this morning.
He raised his hand, stopped An Yanqing's words, and said, "I've been searching for the bankruptcy of the Han family and Han Jing's murder of Han Mu and Jue since I returned to China, but I found some clues."
Qiao Zhishen didn't seem to respond to Sunan's behavior of directly calling his elders by name, but just listened expressionlessly.An Yanqing was a little dissatisfied, but he knew that Sunan didn't think he was a Han family member at all, so although he was dissatisfied, he didn't force him to correct it.
"I found out that the car in Jue's car accident was indeed sent by Han Jing, but it was Liu Qingran who did something wrong on the car. I have already found the relevant witnesses in the repair shop." Sunan said this morning The news came out.
An Yanqing looked at him in shock. It was one thing to have suspicions before, but another thing to have the truth confirmed.Qiao Zhishen saw his expression and thought that he was shocked by the murder, and didn't suspect anything else.
Sunan looked at An Yanqing's expression, and continued: "But Liu Qingran didn't want to kill Jue, her target should be Han Jing, but she didn't expect that Han Jing would give away that car."
Qiao Zhishen thought for a while after hearing the words, then raised his head and asked, "Why?"
An Yanqing felt a little better, and at the same time was curious about the reason.You know, when the three of them played together, Second Uncle treated Liu Qingran pretty well, treating him as his own junior.
It's hard for Sunan to talk about such things as fan Jian, so he just took out the file bag he had just brought back, picked out the information about this matter and handed it to the two of them.
An Yanqing's face became more and more ugly after watching it. She opened her mouth to say something but didn't know how to say it.Qiao Zhishen didn't react too much, he just took it as news, after all, he had never had contact with these people.
But when he thought of Liu Qingran's slightly swollen belly at the banquet, he hesitated and asked: "Then the child in her stomach, if counted by time..." He didn't say the latter words.
An Yanqing also thought of this possibility, and turned to look at Sunan.Sunan smiled wryly, shrugged, and said, "I'm not a god. I think only when a child is born and undergoes a DNA test can we know whose child it is."
"Then what is the reason why you doubt Mrs. Lu? It seems that she did appear in the marriage between the Liu family and the Lu family, the annexation of the Liu family and the annexation of the Han family, but this should not be the reason?" Qiao Zhishen knocked on the desk , asked.
An Yanqing nodded, and said: "More than that, you said that she was the one who intervened in the Liu family's marriage, and the annexation of the Liu family was completely led by her. She took advantage of Lu Guangkui's death to start seizing power."
Sunan pointed to the previous information and said: "The matter above is also related to her. Liu Qingran went to that resort hotel to accompany her, while Han Jing was invited to go by someone in the past. I sent to investigate The person asked about the people Han Jing had contacted that day, and learned that the person who asked him out was the one who sold that batch of wool to Han Yuanchen."
The connection between the two is self-evident, and An Yanqing also remembered what happened that day after being reminded by him.At that time, he was preparing to go to Shanghai, and Han Jing did not come home one night.
But this kind of thing is commonplace for Han Jing, so no one in the family noticed anything unusual.
Sunan said again: "I have asked someone to check the details of Mrs. Lu, but it may not be easy because of time."
Qiao Zhishen nodded understandingly, but thought in his heart that he had bought the Big Mac unintentionally for someone else, or was it the secret target of that person?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help guessing what Jin Lao and Yan Qiaosong were thinking when choosing the ingredients.Did they not discover the problem with this piece of wool, or was it also involved?
In An Yanqing's villa, An Yanqing was fighting in the kitchen with the food delivered by the hotel, while Qiao Zhishen was invited by him to his carving room to see the jadeite he cut out and some carved jade objects.
Today's jadeites are all cut out in Yunnan before, and the wool bought in Myanmar is still placed in the basement.Recently, he has been concentrating on carving and has not solved a single stone.
When Sunan came back, An Yanqing was just putting the food on the table. When he saw Qiao Zhishen sitting at the table, he frowned and then flattened, and nodded lightly.
