Chapter 119聽聽 - Vile species
"Thank you for your reminder, but I think I can tell what can be seen, what can be listened to, and what can be said." Her answer was polite and distant, and she had withdrawn her gaze from him.
"Very good." Seems like he was being too nosy, Su Chen Hao sneered in his heart, turned, and walked out of the auction hall.
Luo Qing Yun looked at his wide back that was gradually fading away, and felt a wave of depression in her heart.
Why did she clearly decide to respect his decision to help Huo Xi Wen, and let go of all her fantasies about him? But when she faced him, her heart involuntarily ached.
A single glance, a single movement, a single sentence, they were all able to easily stir her taut nerves.
She had found his magic.
His mind was in a daze, knowing that Su Qi Ze had walked over to her side and called out to her. Only then did he come back to his senses and look at her.
"Qingyun, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that her condition was a little strange, Su Qi Ze asked.
Luo Qing Yun shook his head, "Nothing, by the way, do you know someone called Fu Mu Yun?"
"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Su Qi Ze frowned and asked, but before she could reply, he seemed to have thought of something, "Su Chen Hao told you?"
"Yes, he asked me to remind you that that person is not a good person." Luo Qing Yun replied truthfully.
"I have to thank him." Su Qi Ze鈥檚 lips curled up into a cold smile, and reached out to grab Luo Qing Yun鈥檚 waist, bringing her out of the venue.
When the two of them returned to hibiscus garden, it was already 9.30 p.m.
Su Qi Ze sent Luo Qing Yun to her doorstep, but did not enter the door with her. Instead, she watched her enter, then turned and got into the car, going to an unknown place.
The moment Luo Qing Yun entered the house, she could faintly hear the sounds of people quarreling on the second floor.
Before he could even ask Sister-in-Law what had happened, he saw his father-in-law Su Wan Bo rushing down the stairs with an exasperated expression. Before he even had the chance to greet him, he had left the room.
Upstairs, a cry came from the master bedroom.
She didn鈥檛 know what had happened, so she could only follow the sobbing towards the master bedroom on the second floor.
Just as he walked to the door of the main bedroom, he saw Sister-in-Law kneeling on the floor to clean up the mess, while her mother-in-law He Fen sat on the bed, crying as she covered her face.
Thinking about Su Wan Bo鈥檚 expression when he left, she was almost certain that it was his parents-in-law who had quarrelled with him.
But why?
Although she hadn鈥檛 been married into the Su Family for a long time, after being in contact with her for so long, she felt that her mother-in-law was a girl with a sense of propriety, a girl who wouldn鈥檛 cause trouble at all.
What could make them do this?
Just as he was hesitating on whether he should go in and comfort He Fen, the phone in his bag suddenly rang.
She quickly retreated to the side and took out her phone. Looking at the caller ID, she realized that it was her mother, Xie Yue E.
Ever since Xie Yue E had come to the hibiscus garden last time, the mother and daughter pair had not known each other much.
Occasionally, Xie Yue E would call to pay attention to her health, but it was mostly during the day, so after a few sentences, the two hung up.
It was really rare to hear a phone call at this time of day.
After picking up the phone, she walked in the direction of her bedroom.
"Hey ..."
"Qingyun, it鈥檚 me." Xie Yue E鈥檚 voice came out from the phone.
"I know. Why are you calling me at this time of the day?" Luo Qing Yun asked calmly. Although she no longer held any hatred towards Xie Yue E, her attitude was no longer warm.
There was no other way. Her knot in her heart had not been untied the entire time, so she could not be as attached to her as an ordinary daughter would be to her own mother.
"Are you still awake?"
"No, I just came back from outside."
"Oh, how are you? How is your body? Is there anything uncomfortable? Let me tell you, a woman getting pregnant is a very hard thing to do. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you have to tell your mother, your mother ... "
"You called so late just to be concerned about me?" Luo Qing Yun interrupted her. She had never gotten used to Xie Yue E鈥檚 "excessive" concern for her.
"No ..." No, there is something particularly important to tell you. " Xie Yue E said, and then pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone.
"What is it?" "Go ahead."
"Jiang Zhi Xin is pregnant."
"What?!" Luo Qing Yun was completely shocked by the news.
Jiang Zhi Xin was pregnant?
How could this be?
"Whose is the child?" It couldn鈥檛 be her father-in-law鈥檚, could it? This was not the result she wanted to see.
"Who do you think it is? Qingyun, let me tell you, this father and daughter pair are planning to force your father-in-law to divorce. Jiang Zhi Xin, you stupid girl, don鈥檛 look at her reluctant look previously, your father-in-law must have given her a lot of benefits, but now she is dreaming about the Su Family. I see that your mother-in-law has always been good to you, at this critical moment, you must help your mother-in-law. If you really let that damn girl Zhi Xin in, she would have some seed in her stomach that can fight with Qi Ze for wealth, don鈥檛 even think about having a good life in the future. " The first thing that Xie Yue E thought of were the benefits.
If Jiang Zhi Xin really went through the doors of Su Family, her tail would probably rise up to the sky from now on.
She didn鈥檛 want her own daughter to be bullied by Jiang Zhi Xin in the future.
"Is that true? Is Jiang Zhi Xin really pregnant? " Luo Qing Yun still found it hard to digest this news.
If she remembered correctly, the reason Jiang Zhi Xin came to hibiscus garden as a guest was because she felt that she really hated Su Wan Bo.
After all, she was still so young, so why would she willingly submit herself to an old man like that?
"I already saw the checklist, so what鈥檚 wrong with it? Jiang De Yue also told me personally, in short, I will tell you about this matter, you be careful, if it really doesn鈥檛 work, you just have to tell Qi Ze about this matter, and let him clean up that little hoof. Oh right, you better not tell your mother-in-law about this. If she knows that Jiang Zhi Xin is pregnant with your father-in-law鈥檚 son, she might even think that the two of them knew each other through you. Xie Yue E did not forget to remind Luo Qing Yun right now.
Luo Qing Yun suddenly had a conjecture. Could it be that the reason the two of them were quarreling tonight was because of Jiang Zhi Xin?
Thinking of this, she suddenly had a very bad feeling.
After hanging up, she had just changed out of her clothes and was about to go to the bathroom to take a bath when someone knocked on her bedroom door from outside.
"Young Mistress, are you in there?" Sister-in-Law鈥檚 voice came from outside the door.
Hearing that, Luo Qing Yun immediately went to the door and opened it, "Sister-in-Law, is there something?"
"Young Mistress has something to tell you. Please come to her room." The Sister-in-Law replied.
Hearing this, Luo Qing Yun felt that small heart was inexplicably tight.
The old granny had something she wanted to tell her. Could it be that she really knew about Jiang Zhi Xin鈥檚 situation and wanted to ask her about it?
What should he do?
Suddenly, he remembered Su Chen Hao鈥檚 advice to him more than half an hour ago.
The law of survival in this family, to know what can hear, what cannot hear, what can say, what cannot say.
It seemed that he indeed had more experience living in the Wealthy Class family than her.
"Young Mistress, let鈥檚 go." Sister-in-Law saw Luo Qing Yun鈥檚 thoughtful look, and urged him on.
"Oh, okay." Luo Qing Yun knew that she could not hide, so she could only bite the bullet and follow Sister-in-Law to the main bedroom.
Upon entering, he saw He Fen sitting on the imperial concubine鈥檚 bed, holding a handkerchief in her hands. Her eyes and nose were red.
His normally well-maintained face now looked ashen, as if he had received some sort of great shock.
Sister-in-Law waited for her to enter the room before leaving and closing the door.
"Mom ..." Luo Qing Yun slowly walked to He Fen and lightly called out to her.
At this time, He Fen raised her head, her swollen almond-shaped eyes looked at her young daughter-in-law, her voice still carrying a hint of a sob, and pointed at the sofa in front of him. "Sit."
Luo Qing Yun sat down, looked at her, and asked with concern in her voice, "Grandma, what鈥檚 wrong? Is there something wrong with your body? "
"Qingyun, Mom is asking you. Ever since you entered the Su Family鈥檚 door, how has Mom been treating you?" He Fen took a deep breath and suppressed his internal breakdown as he looked at her seriously.
Hearing her question, a bad premonition rose in Luo Qing Yun鈥檚 heart.
Could it be that she knew about Su Wan Bo and Jiang Zhi Xin and was now looking for her to denounce him?
"You have been very kind to me, and I have always been very grateful to you." These words were from the bottom of her heart, and did not contain the slightest bit of hypocrisy.
"Alright, since you feel this way, then I鈥檒l ask you to do something for me. Can you promise me that?"
"What is it?" she asked in an uncertain tone.
"Your father-in-law has someone outside. I hope you can help me find that vixen." When He Fen said this, his tone and eyes clearly carried hatred.
After Luo Qing Yun heard this, her expression immediately froze.
Did her words mean that she did not know that the fox spirit was Jiang Zhi Xin herself?
"What am I going to do?" She carefully asked, although she didn鈥檛 really understand why He Fen did not directly arrange for a private investigator to be sent to He Fen鈥檚 side, but instead asked for her help.
"I heard that the woman was someone your father-in-law met during a social meeting. I know that he has been quite close to your stepfather recently, so perhaps your stepfather has seen the woman before. Can you help me find your mother and ask her where your stepfather came from?" He Fen said.
After Luo Qing Yun heard these words, she knew that she couldn鈥檛 reject them. She could only nod her head, and then, console her in a low voice, "Could it be that you are putting on an act here? After all, my father-in-law does business, so it鈥檚 hard to avoid socializing sometimes. "
"Acting on the spot? If there鈥檚 even a bastard child, do you think that it鈥檚 just playing on the spot? " He Fen sneered, she was not the type of person who couldn鈥檛 bear to look at others with her eyes. In the past, when Su Wan Bo was having fun outside, he did not care too much, because she knew that no matter how crazy he was playing outside, he would eventually come back to her side.
Furthermore, she and his only child, Su Qi Ze, had a congenital heart disease, which forced her to guard against the woman from having a child. In the future, he would be a threat to himself and his son鈥檚 position in Su Wan Bo鈥檚 heart.
"If... If you find the woman, what are you going to do? " Luo Qing Yun looked at her hate filled expression and carefully asked.
