the moon is not as good as you

Chapter 244 Sister-in-law
"Xiao Yi, your photography skills have deteriorated?"

"Nonsense, it's clearly progress."

The sky is getting dark, and the whole gray-yellow world is sinking.

Lu Li and Lin Xuyue sat by the tent, watching the two taking pictures by the campfire.Lu Li sighed, "I'm the mother of three children, why are you still acting like a child?"

"She's always been like that."

"You dote on her well."

Lin Xuyue was noncommittal.

Looking at the woman who was exactly the same as in his memory and had been haunting him for nearly 20 years, Lu Li was silent for a moment and asked, "Are you here to visit a friend, or?"

"She's always been hurt."

"what?"

"Although she hasn't mentioned a single word to me for so many years, I know that the blow to her in those three years was devastating."

Lu Li frowned, "I remember you said last time that Burton Will is dead?"

Lin Xuyue told him exactly what happened back then.

In the end, he said lightly, "Ning Yu always thought that I didn't know about these things, and never mentioned them to me. I don't want to see her unhappy behind the scenes. Now that the child is grown up, I hope she can do whatever she wants. Live a good life for yourself.”

For a long time, Lu Li didn't answer the call.

He was immersed in Lin Xuyue's narration just now, and after a long period of trance, he asked him, "Why did you tell me now?"

Although they haven't seen each other for many years, they have always maintained a good sharing and communication.

But such an important matter, Lu Li couldn't believe that he hadn't mentioned a word for so many years.

"Aren't you also pursuing your own life?" Lin Xuyue smiled, "It's just that I didn't expect that you are still a bachelor after so many years."

Lu Li also smiled, "I'm so comfortable on my own, I can go wherever I want." After a pause, "However, it would be even better if you were with me."

……

Every Spring Festival, Jiang Zhiyi will receive a letter.

Inside the envelope was a postcard from different places and customs around the world, as well as photos of the parents and their two friends.

Occasionally, there will be a piece of text on the back of the photo, and the handwriting is written by my mother.It may be to express their vision that everything is well and that she is well.

Before I knew it, ten years had passed.

On the eve of the Spring Festival today, Jiang Zhiyi waited for the letter from his parents as always, but the first thing he waited for was the news of her husband's death.

In a villa as big as a palace, there are several medieval oil paintings hanging in the living room, and the hanging lights are bright, but the faces of the people present are disturbed, and the atmosphere is weird.

Jiang Zhiyi sat at the head of the sofa, resting her forehead, feeling a little headache.

Sitting next to her was a man with a temperament as unpredictable as evening primrose. His brows were indifferent, and his eyes were cold and arrogant, making it difficult to ignore his existence.

The others lowered their heads, looking as if they were bereaved.

——Two days ago, Huo Liusi, who was investigating the project in South Africa, was shot and died on the spot.

Her nominal husband was secretly doing underworld activities, which she knew very well, but the sudden bad news surprised even herself.Until this morning, when Huo Liusi's body was transported back from South Africa, she took a look at it from a distance, and the unrecognizable corpse, which was almost shot into a sieve, was horrifying.

Only then did Jiang Zhiyi confirm that she was a widow.

She had been married to Huo Liusi for eight years. Huo Liusi did not love her so much, but he gave her everything he promised. There was no love, but the relationship between partners was more stable.Therefore, Jiang Zhiyi felt a little sad in his heart.

However, she didn't expect that Huo Liusi had just died, not only the people under him were restless, but also the crazy woman who claimed to be his biological mother came to make trouble.

When the atmosphere was silent, the housekeeper suddenly came over with an envelope.

"Madam, your letter."

Seeing the familiar handwriting on the envelope, Jiang Zhiyi cheered up a bit.

This year's postcard is a field of lavender flowers covered in snow.The photo is also in the flower field. My mother is beckoning to the camera, the melodious snowflakes are falling, the artistic conception is beautiful, and the smiles of the people in the photo are also beautiful.

It says on the back: Taken in the Loire Valley, France, followed by the year, month, and day.

Looking at her mother who is getting brighter and brighter every year, Jiang Zhiyi is also a little touched.Thoughts were drifting, suddenly a gentle voice broke the silence——

"Sister-in-law, brother went to South Africa this time for the chromite mine in the new area. But he offended too many people last time..."

Jiang Zhiyi came back to his senses, and raised his hand to interrupt him, "I'm not interested in your business matters, so don't tell me. If you are here today, it's for his former business, just take it."

The speaker was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.In fact, when he suddenly appeared beside Huo Liusi three years ago and called her "sister-in-law" respectfully, Jiang Zhiyi was shocked.

——Ye Jilin.

her high school classmates.

Although there was no deep friendship between the two, and Jiang Zhiyi didn't know much about his family background, he never expected that he would be related to Huo Liusi.

She knew more or less that Huo Liusi trusted him in the past three years, but also suspected him.Before going to South Africa this time, Huo Liusi specifically told Jiang Zhiyi, telling her that if he couldn't come back safely, Ye Jilin would give him whatever he wanted, and don't confront him head-on, and don't think about avenging him.

only……

Even if he didn't say anything, Jiang Zhiyi didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the underworld at all.

She is now a well-known violinist, and she cares more about her reputation than revenge.

Therefore, Jiang Zhiyi paused, and then said, "I only want [-]% of the property under his name, and this house."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, someone said impatiently, "Sister-in-law, let me tell you the truth, my elder brother gambled with someone before and offended the tax bureau, and lost all his family's fortune. Turned over, but was killed by someone." He sighed, and pushed a stack of documents to Jiang Zhiyi, "Not to mention that he has a lot of debts under his name, even this house has been taken away by the tax bureau a long time ago. , we will all be kicked out."

Jiang Zhiyi frowned slightly, not expecting the situation to be so serious.

She has savings, and with her current status, at least she won't have to worry about it for the rest of her life.But once the house is collected and the matter is exposed, her reputation will inevitably be damaged.This is what she doesn't want to see.

Jiang Zhiyi remained silent for a long time, thinking about how to preserve her reputation, but Ye Jilin seemed to regard her performance as a huge blow, and took the initiative to say, "It's okay sister-in-law, leave the elder brother's affairs to me." He sincerely He said, "Pack up your things these two days, and stay with me in the future, and no one will bully you."

"Forget it." Jiang Zhiyi was restless and shook her head gently, "It's inconvenient, and it doesn't sound good to say it. I'll just figure it out myself."
