deliberately approach you

Chapter 527: Gifts Arrive but People Don’t

Half an hour later, Chen Xin came back from his work.

Without waiting for him to put down the car keys, Bai Long followed him in and expressed his doubts and speculations, as well as today's investigation results.

This is the advantage of living next to each other.

"Do you suspect that Li Jingshan got away after paying the ransom?" Chen Xin looked at Bai Long in surprise.

"Unless we find the wooden box he mentioned."

Chen Xin opened the refrigerator, took out two bottles of mineral water and handed one to Bai Long.

I gulped it down and felt much more refreshed.

"Didn't Li Wanshan explain it yesterday? His only target was my wife. Li Jingshan was dragged into this incident temporarily. He was lucky to have survived. He didn't think about the fact that the Jinyuan River is so long. He might have been carried away by the current."

"Since their target is Madam, it is impossible that they are not aware of Li Jingshan's worth."

Logically speaking, those people could have taken this opportunity to temporarily raise the price to Li Wanshan, but strangely, they chose to handle it on their own.

"That's why I silenced him!"

"If you raise the price, Li Wanshan will definitely give it to you. Even if he doesn't, we still have Aunt Li San."

"It's hard to say. After all... their time and route are planned in advance. If we consider one more person, there will be more potential danger. It's better to deal with him directly to save trouble. And it's possible that he doesn't know Li Jingshan."

"Yeah, maybe I'm overthinking it." Bai Long frowned and unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle.

After working all night, he was thirsty.

"Even if it's the situation you described, Li Jingshan is right. In the face of life and death, giving up money to avoid disaster is a very wise choice. Besides, he informed Brother Shen as soon as he escaped from danger, right?"

Bai Long nodded in agreement.

Indeed, when faced with life and death, it is understandable for anyone to choose to spend money to save his life.

The most important thing is to survive.

"Maybe Brother Shen has already guessed it." Chen Xin lazily lay on the sofa, his eyes almost unable to open, "Don't bring it up in person."

"Okay, go to bed early."

Bai Long closed the door and left, returning to his room, weighing Chen Xin's words over and over again in his mind.

If Li Jingshan had not helped Li Zishen and his mother over the years, perhaps it would not have been Li Wanshan who was forced to leave Jincheng.

Li Jingshan must have tried his best, but that group of people did not agree, so his wife was brutally murdered.

It is normal to hide something for the sake of face.

The culprit is Li Wanshan. Damn it, why didn’t I hit you to death today?

……

The next day, Nanfeng Mansion.

Tang Xiaowan was woken up by Leng Lingxiao's video invitation, even though it was already eight o'clock.

"What's up so early in the morning?"

"Tangtang, Shen Yiming is here. Li Ruonan said he hasn't seen you for a long time and wants to have lunch together at noon and visit the place..."

Leng Lingxiao communicated seriously into the phone.

It was not until a minute later that Tang Xiaowan rubbed her eyes and woke up from her daze.

"Aren't they going to take a break first?"

"Get up quickly, wash your face and brush your teeth."

"No, we can't meet today or tomorrow. Grandma said last night that this is the minimum requirement. We originally agreed on six days, but starting from the second day, we violated the rules. We can't meet anymore. Let's meet the day after tomorrow."

"The wedding is the day after tomorrow!"

"Yeah, that's right! I'm really looking forward to it. I don't know if your groomsmen are better or my bridesmaid is better. I'm really looking forward to it just thinking about it."

Leng Lingxiao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

"Please, I'm your dear husband, you can't be so rude!"

"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you."

"Oh, that's fine. In fact, they are all very good people, and they are all capable of both literature and martial arts. As long as they don't delay me from picking you up, it's fine."

"Isn't there a party tonight? Could you tell me in advance so I can get some information?"

"No, they can."

It was as if they were gloating over someone else's misfortune. Tang Xiaowan couldn't help but feel worried for the groomsmen. You know, the six bridesmaids that Tang Mei prepared for her were all very capable. They were all very thin and looked fragile, but in fact they were proficient in various instruments and were more manly than men.

At this time, the message alert sounded a few times, followed by two more arrival reminders.

Tang Xiaowan thought it was Lin Xiaoxiao so she didn't look.

"Oh, right, with Li Ruonan, we can just play mahjong together. It's not a party, it's just an excuse to have some fun. From the day I got the marriage certificate, I'm no longer single."

He is a certified good husband!

"No, no, I can't go. It's not right for the bride-to-be to join in the fun at your bachelorette party. If anyone sees us, they'll all laugh their heads off."

In fact, Tang Xiaowan was afraid of being scolded by her grandmother.

She wished she could be with Leng Lingxiao 24 hours a day, talking and laughing happily.

"Put on some makeup and it will be solved."

Tang Xiaowan curled her lips: "How dare you!"

"Just treat it as a masquerade. It's just a matter of words. It officially starts at 8pm. I'll ask Lao Zhao to notify everyone later."

This really made Tang Xiaowan a little tempted, but after thinking about it carefully, it was still not a good idea.

She has already promised grandma.

If there is really no other option...how about sneaking out and playing for half an hour while grandma and mom are doing yoga?
If asked, just say you're taking a bath.

At worst, let Meijuan temporarily...

"Don't worry, grandma won't really care. She feels most at ease with you being with me." Leng Lingxiao saw Tang Xiaowan hesitating and continued to persuade her.

"No, people should be honest!"

"Once in a while it's okay."

Tang Xiaowan fell into deep thought again.

In fact, it’s not bad not to meet. I’ll be more looking forward to the wedding, and it will also deepen my longing for me.

What Meijuan said makes sense!
"Listen, from now on, you can't make video calls, and you can't find various excuses to come to Nanfeng Mansion to see me, and you can't..."

"Wait, video isn't working either?"

"Yes, that's right."

“Isn’t that a bit too cruel?”

"Huahua, it's time to test you. I believe you can pass it smoothly."

His little wife brought up all the tests. As a real man, what else could Leng Lingxiao say but to cooperate with her wholeheartedly.

"Okay, let's do as you say."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiaowan quickly glanced at the messages and found that they were all sent by Chen Yu.

【May you have a happy marriage and a baby soon! 】

[I may not be able to go to the wedding, and neither can Chen Nan, as he has to attend a competition this weekend. I have a cold, and it will be very uncomfortable for me to ride in a car.]

[Don’t get me wrong, I really can’t go. ]

It would be a lie to say that she didn't care. She felt really bad and like she was abandoned.

But if you think about it, you can understand it.

Chen Yu might be afraid that after he arrived, he would not be able to integrate with the other guests, and would feel different in every aspect and feel uncomfortable.

【Don’t worry, on the wedding day...】

When Tang Xiaowan was halfway through editing the message, she suddenly remembered that there were two payment reminders that she hadn't read.

"2000, one hundred thousand!"

“Does this mean you’re paying me back?”

In the middle of last month, Tang Xiaowan transferred 100,000 yuan to Chen Yu. She was worried that Chen Yu would not be able to go to Boxin Hospital to treat the birthmark due to lack of money.

She never thought of asking Chen Yu to pay back the money. They were all friends and she was happy to be able to help.

"2000 should be a gift."

"But where did the 100,000 come from?"

"Not used? My family gave it to her!"

Tang Xiaowan suddenly realized that no matter what she said, it was useless because Chen Yu would not come.
