Chapter 705: Sister-in-law, you know me (9)
Li Muchen paused for a moment, as if he was surprised by her sudden call. After a long while, he said in a calm voice,” I’m free tomorrow. You can arrange a place and I’ll go there directly.””
Xia Jinzhi nodded in satisfaction and said,” Alright, I’ll send you the location later.””
After hanging up the phone, Xia Lin walked down from upstairs.
He was 58 years old, but his figure was still tall and strong. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. His face was gentle, and he did not have the fatigue and slackness of other middle-aged men.
“Jin Zhi.” He walked over, sat on the sofa, and said,” Tell me, what do you need my help with this time?””
Xia Jinzhi sighed.” Big Brother, I’m retired.””
“..”Xia Chenglin was slightly surprised.” Does Wanqian know about this?”
This younger sister had always been competitive. Her husband had found the best actor in Shanghai’s film and television industry. Although Wu Wanqian’s acting career had become more and more prosperous over the years, she insisted on having her own career. She had always been responsible in university and had now achieved the position of the most senior professor. How could she apply for retirement in advance?
“He knows.” Xia Jinzhi smiled bitterly.” Because of this, we even had a big fight. But I have no choice. I have to stay in D City for a while. I can’t care about the school at all. Anyway, there weren’t many years left. I had thought it through. Compared to my daughter, money and glory were nothing at all, so I retired early. I’ll talk to Wanqian later. There shouldn’t be any problems.”
“Daughter? What exactly happened?” Xia Chenglin asked with a frown.
Xia Jinzhi returned to the guest room, took out the folder, and handed it to Xia Chenglin.
Xia Chenglin took the folder and opened it to reveal a pink envelope. He glanced at Xia Jinzhi, and under her gaze, he had no choice but to open the envelope again and take out the few pieces of paper inside.
He only opened the letter and glanced at the beginning before folding it again and stuffing it back into the envelope.
“Xi Wen used to like Jing Muchen?”Xia Chenglin put the envelope back into the folder and asked with a serious expression.
“Yes.” Xia Jinzhi took the folder back and held it in her hands like a treasure.” Brother, every time I think about how my poor daughter was forced to marry into the Reeves family by the two brothers, I feel that it’s not worth it for my daughter…” As she said that, sorrow came over her face, and tears instantly poured down.
Xia Chenglin sighed.” Jinzhi, Xiwen has been gone for five years, and this letter was written when she was in university. It’s too old. I think there might be some misunderstanding.”
“I’ve already verified this. Last Friday, Muchen came to Shanghai on a business trip. I confronted him that night and he admitted that he knew about Xi Wen’s crush on him. Hmph, perhaps he was worried that this would affect the relationship between the two brothers, so he denied it later and said that he had only found out a while ago. He simply had a guilty conscience and did not match his words!”Xia Jinzhi said resentfully,” At that time, the Jing family only wanted the Xia family’s investment. Xiwen was so silly and thought that she was going to marry Jing Muchen. The person she liked was Jing Muchen, but when she married him, she found out that the person who married her was Li Muchen. How could she feel good?
What was the difference between Family Jing’s behavior and fraud? In the two years that Xi Wen married, who knew how torturous her days were? My poor daughter died so miserably in the end…”
