Chapter 78
On the morning of July, it dawned very early. When Xiang Yuan woke up, she found herself curled up in the corner of the bed.It was still Ye's big bed, with a width of more than two meters. Every time she lay on it alone, she always felt that the emptiness of this bed was boundless, and this emptiness was so familiar, as if it should be like this all her life.

She was still dreaming, an extremely long dream, everything in the dream dissipated like an electric phantom, and when she woke up, no one was by her side except herself.

The assistant called her and politely asked if she was still in the morning meeting.Xiang Yuan knew that she got up late, and at this time in the past, she was already sitting behind the desk.

Xiang Yuan said to his assistant Xiao Wu, "I'll be here later this morning, you just need to put the meeting minutes on my desk."

Xiao Wu has been by Xiang Yuan's side since she entered Jiangyuan. The jerky and ignorant little girl could cry loudly because of a bidding mistake, but now she is married and has children.Xiao Wu didn't ask why Xiang Yuan was absent from the meeting. Xiang Yuan always had her reasons for doing things, but Xiao Wu didn't know that on this day, Xiang Yuan's reason was just because of an overdone dream.

However, it was this phone call that reminded Xiang Yuan that she had nothing, she still had unfinished work, and Jiang Yuan's growing family business.It's been four years, time will take away a lot of things, and it will also leave a lot behind, this "lot" is wealth to Xiang Yuan, wealth that she can't use up in this lifetime.

Jiangyuan has now completely broken away from the building material production business on which he started his business, and the logo of Jiangyuan Real Estate is no longer unfamiliar to people in this city.Three years ago, the land with bad geomantic omen that Xiang Yuan took from the Wenzhou businessman who paid off his debts with the land, with the changes of the city, turned aside and became a golden blessed land with mountains and rivers. It is because of a bridge that connects that dead end to the bustling area of ​​the city.Jiang Yuan relied on this real estate "Peninsula Residence", which is positioned as a "prosperous and pure land, an urban upstart", to make a name for himself. As for how much he earned, there are different opinions, and only Xiang Yuan knows best.

The next few successful attempts shifted Jiangyuan's focus to the real estate industry. Just half a year ago, the "Jiangyuan Times Square" that broke ground in the downtown area of ​​G allowed the Ye Family under Xiang Yuan's management to finally enter the city. One of the most influential real estate developers, Shen Ju'an, who for a while wanted to put Jiangyuan to death, has also become Xiangyuan's partner. They also appeared in the annual edition of G City's real estate market information periodical, holding hands and talking happily One said that the other party was the colleague he admired the most, and the other said that the people around him were rare mentors and helpful friends. Only careful people will find that no matter how closely the two of them cooperate, in the past four years, they have never sat down together. Eat at the same table.

As for other things, the prosperous Mo Jianguo would politely call out "Xiang Zong" when he saw the "Xiao Xiang" in his mouth back then; The overseas pharmaceutical companies she invested in and several entertainment centers she controlled had huge returns; she was elected as a representative of the National People's Congress, a member of the CPPCC, an outstanding young entrepreneur, and a red-banner bearer on March [-]; she even bought Ye Qianze's marriage proposal In that barren hill at that time, without the person who made her happy all her life, in time, that place may record Jiangyuan's higher glory... The world is impermanent, who said that today's fruit is the cause of yesterday's planting, She crushed her best years, and finally grasped everything she had. The loveless land she had cultivated so hard all these years could not be more fertile, although now it has nothing but rich harvests. grow.

Xiang Yuan, Xiang Yuan, since childhood, my mother said that she must go further than others, and Ye Qianze also said, your world is not here.She has traveled far, but she still doesn't know, how far is farther, where is her world?
Today, Xiang Yuan is no longer an unknown person. Her achievements, her status as a first-class woman, her husband's kidnapping case and confusing disappearance are all spread in the market and tabloids. The truth is no longer important. People All I want is the topic.Many people like to divide rich people into two types, Old money and New money. Old money is hereditary, elegant, noble, and reserved, while New money is emerging, explosive, philistine, and secular. There is no doubt that it is the latter in people's eyes, especially in the eyes of those old friends of the Ye family and old partners in the mall. Most of them are old acquaintances with Ye Binglin, and now they can no longer stand shoulder to shoulder with the Ye family, so what can be done It was just mocking Xiang Yuan behind her back, the mistress of the Ye family who had come from a country girl step by step to today.

Someone joked that Xiang Yuan was a complete businessman with no wealth and no taste. Apart from money and land, she had no interest in other collections. She didn't love Washington DC, jewelry, famous paintings, or antiques. I have no other entertainment, I am as busy as a top every day, working seven days a week, getting up early and working late like a migrant worker, but I don’t have a little time to spend the money I earn.

Others said that the Ye family was still a sentimental Mr. Pianpian until Ye Qianze. The Ye family's father and son love tea and understand tea. It will only be served to distinguished guests who can bring her benefits. As for herself, she has been drinking plain boiled water with sugar for many years, and she is so stingy; On the side: The elderly father-in-law would rather live in a Buddhist temple for a long time. The husband's life and death are unknown, but everyone knows about a romantic affair before his disappearance. Who knows if he couldn't bear her and ran away?My sister-in-law committed suicide, her only brother-in-law was kicked out of the Ye family by her, she never asked about her own sister's poor life, and her husband's uncle hinted more than once in front of people that she excluded dissidents in the company, and she Forced by her to almost lose the right to speak, the house that Ye Binglin's cousins ​​live in now is a gift from Xiang Yuan, but she still holds the property rights in her hands. Relatives need money, and although she will not refuse, but If it is [-], she will never give more than one point, and the IOU receipt is clear. Even the old nanny who has served in the Ye family for decades has not had a salary increase for many years. In order to find a job, Yuan Dai was blocked by her words...

Xiang Yuan has heard a lot of these things, but she seldom takes them to heart, but sometimes when she is playing chess, she will tell Lao Zhang with a smile, Old money and New money, what does it matter, it is better than nomoney.

Lao Zhang is a grateful person to Xiang Yuan. He treats his friends with sincerity. He once extended a helping hand to Xiang Yuan in the most difficult time. As for whether it came in handy in the end, it is another matter. of.In the past few years of Ye Qianze's disappearance, according to the law, it is not impossible for Xiang Yuan to regain his freedom. Lao Zhang also expresses openly and secretly that if Xiang Yuan is willing, they can spend the rest of their lives hand in hand. Xiang Yuan only has one sentence, "Old man Zhang, you deserve a better woman." This is the most commonly used sentence when a woman expresses rejection, but Xiang Yuan said it very seriously, completely from the bottom of his heart, and Lao Zhang was still open-minded, and laughed it off. From now on, friends do the same. The matter was never mentioned.

"Who is the nobleman? Where did the nobleman come from in China today? In the past few generations, whose family was not born in the land? I am most annoyed by flattery in front of people, and people who talk behind their backs, don't take it to heart." Lao Zhang said He told Xiang Yuan that he felt wronged for Xiang Yuan because of those criticisms.Xiang Yuan seemed to be more sensible than him. She said that what those people were talking about was not completely unreasonable, at least from the results.

She never denied that she loves money like life and is stingy by nature, and she is not as leisurely as those of Ye Qianze's sons and sisters. Ye Binglin has not been home for many years, Ye Qianze disappeared, Ye Ling committed suicide, Ye Bingwen lost power in the company... These are all facts.

Several aunts of Ye Qianze pointed out that it was too poor to teach for many years, and the family lived in a teaching dormitory of less than [-] square meters. Money, a word of greeting is also good.She just chose a set for each of them from the best Bijing Garden in Jiangyuan Real Estate, the best view, the best orientation, the best location and layout, where they can live comfortably until they die. Xiang Yuan did not refuse every sum of money that should be given to her children to enter school, find a job, or start a business. As for the property rights of the house, Xiang Yuan really felt that it was unnecessary. The original intention of her giving the house was not to let them sell the house sell money.

Xiang Yuan seldom talked about Xiang Yao's affairs with others. The only blood relative in this world was her serious heart disease.After Ye Qianze's accident, Xiang Yao would often appear by Xiang Yuan's side. It seems that the way the two sisters get along has been deeply ingrained for more than ten years. It was just a way for her to express her concern, but Xiang Yuan was in a bad mood at that time, and she didn't have the energy to deal with this kind of other kind of concern. Moreover, she was afraid of the ominous clouds hanging around her, and it was not good to be too close to her, so She let Xiang Yao leave.

With Xiangyao's bad temper, it is natural that she will never come back after leaving. In the past few years, she and Teng Jun have parted and reunited, but they are still together. Maybe fate is something that cannot be admitted.Xiang Yuan didn't dislike Teng Jun, a young man, and once thought that he was honest and not untrustworthy.However, after Teng Yun disappeared, Teng Jun stubbornly believed that Xiang Yuan was the reason for his cousin's disappearance. , they didn't want them all, and they wanted to get rid of her completely and show her a career as if in a fit of anger.The young couple's hearts are too high and their hands are too low. The harder they work, the harder it is to live.That's all, what makes Xiang Yuan most uncomfortable is that she just learned not long ago that Xiang Yao is pregnant with Teng Jun's child for more than 7 months, with a high belly and has to work in the convenience store where she works. They threw away the mother and baby supplies and nutritional products sent by Yuan's trustees, but they ended up going to see a doctor, and Xiang Yuan made arrangements for her secretly as if they were thieves.Xiang Yuan seldom bowed down, but for Xiang Yao, she admitted that she was wrong, and she was so wrong from the beginning that she didn't know how to end it now.

Therefore, those rumors that she is lonely and cold by nature, Xiang Yuan thinks it makes sense, probably she was born to be cold and cold all her life, only Ye Yun - she bowed her head and said the name silently, Ye Yun Ye Yun... only when she thought of him, she There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, he was the last ray of morning light lingering in Xiang Yuan's heart, her dear relative, her family, her only comfort.The most uncomfortable day, when she never wanted to wake up from the high fever, was Ye Yun who stayed by the bed from the beginning to the end. He was so tired that he fell asleep lying on the edge of the bed, breathing lightly, but Xiang Yuan woke up. Breathing made her feel that she was still alive and had to live.When she cried bitterly, there was only this one shoulder, never leaving it, making her tears wet; whether she was right or wrong, looking back, it was him... But this kind of Ye Yun was driven away by her... around.

That's right, she drove Ye Yun away with her own words.

On the day Xiang Yuan recovered from his serious illness, Ye Yun sat opposite her at the Ye family's dining table with a sense of relief. A smile bloomed on his sad face that had been lingering all day long because of the disappearance of his elder brother. To celebrate Xiang Yuan's return to health, he even took the initiative to Poured himself a glass of wine.

But Xiang Yuan put down his chopsticks and said to him, "Ye Yun, from tomorrow onwards, you should move out."

Ye Yun was stunned, he didn't know what he did wrong.

"Don't get me wrong, this house belongs to the Ye family, and you will always have a share of it. If you want to come back, you can come back anytime, but your eldest brother has no news now, and I don't know when he will come back, and neither will you. I'm too young, and there are only two women left in this room. The ancients said, 'brothers and sisters-in-law can't ask questions'. Although the words are pedantic, they are not completely unreasonable. We are close to each other, and we are different from others, but in the eyes of outsiders There is only one fact, I am your elder brother's wife, your sister-in-law, whether he is here or not, you have to remember this."

Xiang Yuan's tone was calm, but Ye Yun suddenly understood what she meant, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't bear it.

On the day Xiang Yuan found out that she was not pregnant, she wept in Ye Yun's arms in despair. Ye Yun couldn't help himself, and kissed the tears on her face drop by drop. Only then did he know, She had a high fever, and he held her tightly in his arms while waiting for the doctor to arrive.Afterwards, Xiang Yuan never mentioned this scene again, and Ye Yun also regretted his own Meng Lang, and luckily thought that she might not remember anything under the chaos of her consciousness.He wanted to lie to himself, but Xiang Yuan didn't want to.

"I won't move, it's not safe for you to live here alone, and I don't care what other people say!" Ye Yun struggled between words.

"But I care."

Ye Yun hated the rigid rationality on Xiang Yuan's face at the moment, with no emotion and no room for negotiation.

"What are you afraid of, you dare not see me, unless you have ghosts in your heart!"

How much he hopes that Xiang Yuan has the same "ghost" hidden in his heart, the secret, invisible, lingering ghost of abnormal love, if there is, then at least his love is not a lonely wandering ghost.

But Xiang Yuan's face changed suddenly after hearing these words. The ghost in her heart was the murderous intent secretly raised before the storm, the loneliness that put the people she loved to death, and the evil thoughts inspired by hatred.She had no way to tell Ye Yun that apart from the ambiguity between the two of them, she was even more afraid of Ye Yun's face, which was [-]% similar to his handsome silhouette. Just looking at him would always remind Xiang Yuan of his most desperate love And the most unredeemed hate.Only by indulging her selfishness, expelling him from her side, and staying away from him, can she block the nightmare.

She said to Ye Yun, "If you don't want to move, then I will move."

Ye Yun couldn't hold her back, he would nod in the end, Xiang Yuan knew it all too well.If possible, she would like to be the one who left this house. She doesn't love this dark old house. The memories she cherishes have nothing to do with this place, but she remembers a sentence that Ye Qianze said, "When the lights of this house are on, Only those who return home can find their way." Is it the same for the soul that has been wandering for a long time?
For this reason, she couldn't leave.

For more than four years, Xiang Yuan has never given up on finding Ye Qianze's whereabouts. The Ye family's huge reward for Ye Qianze's whereabouts has always been valid, although she has long known that for a missing person in four years, the chance of returning is very small , whether it is legally or logically, she can declare that her husband is "dead", but she does not.Just like what she said repeatedly to Ye Yun, if you want to see people, you need to see dead bodies. She no longer knows that her persistent search, search and disappointment is because she is looking forward to the half-life entanglement. Before leaving, she only said "I'm sorry, thank you" The man is still guilty of seeking a result for the sin he planted, or this search is just her sustenance, a dream she wove for herself again, as long as this dream does not die, she can continue hang on.

For so long, the police's efforts have not yielded any breakthroughs. They only found out that the fishing boat that Ye Qianze boarded at the time of the accident was owned by Chen Jie. Locked by the police as the first suspect, Cui Minxing, who was far away in Thailand from the beginning to the end, left the matter clean. There is no evidence to prove that he is directly related to Ye Qianze's kidnapping case.Like Chen Jie, Teng Yun's disappearance has become an insoluble mystery. All the suspects have disappeared, and no one can solve this mystery. The only remaining scapegoat is Yuan Xiu, who exists in people's sight The last person who saw Ye Qianze, the driver of the Ye family and the sailors on the ship before the transfer all came forward to testify that she brought Ye Qianze onto the boat, but no one can say that Ye Qianze was willing to be a meat ticket in order to replace her. prove.Yuan Xiu was under police surveillance until the child in her womb was miscarried. After she lost her child, she crazily bit the policewoman who supervised her, and was finally sent to the madhouse on the grounds of schizophrenia. Under the "care" of Yuan Yuan, she will always receive "special" preferential treatment in the courtyard.

Remembering, like dreaming, is a labor-intensive thing, so Xiang Yuan told himself every day, don't dream, and of course, don't recall.She slowly walked down the stairs where all the old photos had been removed. Aunt Yang spent half the morning finally frying an egg for her and pouring her a glass of milk.

Xiang Yuan took a bite, the fried egg was strangely sweet.Aunt Yang stood aside with her back bent, and found that she had stopped talking, with a slightly weird expression, so she rubbed her hands and looked at her in fear, "What's wrong with me."

Nothing, just can't tell the difference between sugar and salt.But Xiang Yuan didn't say anything, she sent away the old nanny who told everyone that the Ye family hadn't raised her salary for many years, and slowly pushed the fried egg aside.Over the years, Xiang Yuan has persuaded Aunt Yang more than once not to work so hard, and he will give her a sum of money to go back and spend the rest of her life with her son, but Aunt Yang is unwilling to leave. On the contrary, she was not used to living in her own house. In Ye's house, she only occasionally cooked a meal for Xiang Yuan and washed clothes.Xiang Yuan is not someone who needs to be served, and the number of times she is ordered is very small, and many things, she would rather do it herself than do it to others. Although she is not amiable, at least she can wear reading glasses all day long. watch TV.

Two years ago, Aunt Yang's youngest son was laid off, so she thought about letting him find a job in the Ye family's company. Xiang Yuan agreed, but arranged him to be an ordinary worker in the construction project department. Aunt Yang thought , I have served the Ye family for so many years, no credit but hard work, no matter what I can't let my son go down to the grassroots, so I got angry and asked my son to quit, but Xiang Yuan didn't stop him and let him leave.The son complained about Aunt Yang afterwards, but Aunt Yang couldn't hold back her old face anymore. In this way, Xiang's reputation of not being recognized by her six relatives far away was verified again.

Aunt Yang's back disappeared at the door of the kitchen, and only then did Xiang Yuan carefully recall the mysterious phone call yesterday that brought back memories.In fact, there is more than one person who claimed the whereabouts of Ye Qianze in the past few years. These people who came here to offer rewards to the Ye family have more vision than Xiang Yuan, but is it the same this time?How could that person know that Ye Qianze had a phone call with her in the end? Xiang Yuan kept this matter secret, even Ye Yun didn't tell her, and the police didn't know anything about it.If that person was on the same boat as Ye Qianze at that time, and something happened to the boat, why didn't he die?And if this person is still alive, is it possible for Ye Qianze to still exist in this world?Xiang Yuan was waiting for the other party's further actions. She knew that if that person wanted something, she would definitely be unable to hold back. She must hold her breath and not mess up her position with a few words.

After eating hastily, Xiang Yuan waited for a long time without any clue. After all, she couldn't let go of the company's business. In the afternoon, she packed up and went out. When she walked to the gate, she happened to meet Ye Yun who hurried in. .

"Huh..." Before Xiang Yuan had time to be surprised, Ye Yun stopped talking and suddenly became nervous.

"Danger!" Ye Yun yelled this sentence, and pulled Xiang Yuan violently, Xiang Yuan bumped into him, his shoulder hurt badly, and just about to explode, he heard a loud noise from the large floor-to-ceiling windows facing the yard, and returned Looking over, I saw a big hole in the window, and broken glass flew all over the place.

"It's not hurt...don't go out yet, wait for me." Ye Yun let go of Xiang Yuan, and quickly chased him out of the yard.

"Ye Yun, be careful!" Xiang Yuan was also a little bit shocked by this sudden change.

Aunt Yang ran out from the room, hearing the sound, and seeing this scene, she couldn't help but mutter, "Amitabha, what kind of evil did this family do that didn't stop for a moment?"

Xiang Yuan ignored her and walked back to the house alone. Sure enough, she found a pebble the size of a fist behind the hole made by the smashed window. little things.

"Xiang Yuan." As soon as she untied the thing from the stone, she heard Ye Yun calling her from the yard.

Xiang Yuan stuffed the attachment on the stone into his bag calmly, grabbed the stone and walked out.

"Didn't catch up, one step too late." Ye Yun wiped the sweat off his face, faintly unwilling.

Xiang Yuan showed him the stone, "What a coincidence, you caught up with this matter again."

Ye Yun looked at the stone over and over again, "It's not a coincidence, I came here on purpose, and I was planning to tell you something, but I didn't expect something to happen."

"Oh?" Xiang Yuan's heart tightened.

"Chen Jie, do you still remember that the biggest suspect in the eldest brother's kidnapping case, the police have been looking for him for several years, but there is no news at all. Last week, our branch ransacked the family property of a habitual criminal who obtained false certificates. The number of false ID records made in the past few years is as high as a hill. It was also because my colleague had the intention to find a fake ID card that Chen Jie had made for four years. The two things must be related! Xiang Yuan, I have a hunch, this is God's eyes, this discovery may be a breakthrough in the elder brother's case, and I will follow the clues to investigate, I don't believe there is no clue."

Ye Yun was a little excited and talked endlessly.Xiang Yuan didn't say a word, with a serious expression on his face, Ye Yun spontaneously regarded Xiang Yuan's reaction as disbelief after a long wait.So he continued: "What's more interesting is that the false witness is as smart as a mouse. He knew that he would commit a crime, and seeing that my colleague was particularly interested in Chen Jie's false identity, he took the initiative to report it, saying Not long ago, this Chen Jie came to him again and asked for a fake ID card again. Because he was an old customer, he had the impression... Chen Jie showed up. As long as he is in G City, this time, we will definitely not I will let him go again. I rushed over as soon as I knew about it. Aunt Yang said you were at home. I was going to tell you that I don’t know what kind of ghost that guy came back this time. You have to be careful. When the front foot arrived, something happened to the back foot."

Xiang Yuan didn't know what he was thinking, and was in a daze for a while, then grabbed Ye Yun's hand, and asked a little hastily, "What else did you find?"

Ye Yun, who had just been promoted to the second squadron leader of the criminal investigation team of the sub-bureau, was still jerky in front of Xiang Yuan. This long-lost contact made him almost forget what he was about to say. , You mean that fake ID card... I... We also found out that Chen Jie used that fake ID card to apply for an Agricultural Bank of China savings card and a temporary mobile phone number. Unfortunately, because of the information upgrade of the mobile company, those I don't know if the old call records can be retrieved... If we can, we will have a lot of clues... Your hands are so cold, don't be afraid, big brother may not be okay, you have been waiting for four years, just wait a little longer Is it? As I said, I will do my best to find out the truth about the eldest brother, you believe me."

Xiang Yuan withdrew his hand, and quietly grabbed the bag in his hand, "I believe you... By the way, there is something wrong with the company, I have to go out, Ye Yun, if you are not in a hurry to go to work, let Aunt Yang fix it for you." Order something to eat."

"I want to rush back to the bureau, but this time I will move back, you must agree, you have seen what happened today, Chen Jie is probably coming for you, I will never let you alone People stay here."

Ye Yun had already planned to patiently persuade Xiang Yuan, and it was she who said hastily, "You can do whatever you want. Let's go." She walked towards the parking lot.

Ye Yun was overjoyed, turned his back to Xiang Yuan and couldn't help jumping up, finally looking at her back, he asked, "Xiang Yuan, did the person who smashed the glass leave anything else besides the stone?" .”

Xiang Yuan's back paused. "No, nothing."
