The time in the upper right corner of the monitor is a few minutes after he and Yan Bei left the office.
Jiang Mingzhu came out of the lounge and went straight to his desk. After some rummaging, she took out Zhan Yubai's physical examination report from the drawer.
She not only read the physical examination report, but also took photos.
This can no longer be explained by simple "curiosity".
The aura exuding from Zhou Li was too gloomy, and the originally warm atmosphere on the table was interrupted.
Yuanye: "Fourth brother, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Li didn't answer, but stood up and went out. Xu Siyan and Yuan Yema followed him out.
Yuanye carefully observed Zhou Li's expression and made his own guess: "Is Jiang Mingzhu seducing a man behind your back again?"
Xu Siyan: "Is it because of Jiang Mingzhu again?"
Zhou Li: "How much information did you find about Jiang Mingzhu in the orphanage?"
The topic jumped a bit fast, and it took Xu Siyan a long time to catch up: "I didn't find out much. I only know that she was in the Lantian Welfare Institute in Hong Kong City and was taken away by her adoptive parents when she was sixteen."
Not much has been found, naturally it cannot be because there is no record, the only possibility is that someone has deliberately erased it.
Even among the photos that Zhan Yu spent all his efforts to find, there was only information about Jiang Mingzhu's middle school days.
Zhou Li: "Is Lantian Welfare Institute still there?"
Xu Siyan: "It should still be there."
Yuan Ye: "Hey, why are you all so interested in Jiang Mingzhu's childhood?"
Zhou Li glanced at the wilderness and didn't answer him.
At the same time, the phone rang, and it was Jin Rou.
Jin Rou: "Tomorrow at seven o'clock in the evening, you and Yubai come to Jufeng Pavilion. Doctor Su has returned to China. Please treat him to a meal."
Zhou Li looked deeply and rubbed his phone with his fingers, "Have you notified Yu Bai?"
Jin Rou: "Yubai is your fiancée, why do you need me to inform you, are you close to her or am I close to her?"
Zhou Li: "I'll inform her."
Jin Rou: "That's pretty much it. Come here on time tomorrow."
——
Late at night, Zhan Yubai came out of the company exhausted, her delicate makeup couldn't hide her haggard look.
She walked to the car with her head lowered and was about to open the door when she was startled by the sudden appearance of the man.
"What are you doing here?" Seeing Liu Pei, Zhan Yubai's face turned a few shades darker.
Liu Pei: "What do you think I'm here for?"
Zhan Yubai: "I have no money."
Liu Pei: "Young master, will the future young lady of the Zhou family have no money? You think I am a fool!"
Zhan Yubai: "No more, no more."
Liu Pei: "Then I can only go to the Zhou family. Do you think you can still keep your position as the young mistress of the Zhou family?"
Zhan Yubai looked at him sharply and sneered, "Then you go and find me. I'll be in trouble. You'll never get any money again in this life."
Liu Pei still has some cleverness. If Zhan Yubai really falls, it will be no good for him.
Liu Pei's tone softened, "Give me one hundred thousand first."
Zhan Yubai: "There is no such thing as a free lunch."
Liu Pei: "What do you mean?"
Zhan Yubai: "Find a way to contact Pei Ye. I want to know where he is now - and his sister."
"When it's done, I'll give you this number." Zhan Yubai gestured with three fingers.
Liu Pei: "Deal."
The mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole.
Jiang Mingzhu received a notice from Zhang Xu that night and learned about their conversation.
She laughed mockingly.
Zhan Yubai finally remembered that Pei Ye also existed in her world.
For so many years, she had been able to climb up on his sincerity and body with peace of mind, enjoying the supreme glory without any trace of guilt.
People like her don't even deserve to live.
——
Thinking of Pei Ye before going to bed, Jiang Mingzhu naturally dreamed of him at night.
When I woke up in the morning, there were still tears on my face.
She cried a little fiercely in her dream. Jiang Mingzhu's eyes were swollen and she couldn't even cover them with makeup.
In the morning, Jiang Mingzhu stared at her red and swollen eyes and went to Zhou Li's office to deliver documents.
From the moment she walked in, Zhou Li never took his eyes off her face. His features were tense, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and his sharp eyes were locked on hers, full of aggression.
For a moment, Jiang Mingzhu felt that she was his prey, stripped naked and put in front of him, ready to be mermaided.
Jiang Mingzhu: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Zhou Li: "What do you think?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Brother has a lot of thoughts, how could I guess."
What responded to her was Zhou Li's sneer.
Immediately afterwards, he opened the drawer, took out the file bag containing the physical examination information, and threw it on the table.
With a snap, the string in Jiang Mingzhu's brain suddenly became tense.
She pinched her palms and said nothing.
Zhou Li: "Aren't you very interested and don't want to study it anymore?"
Jiang Mingzhu raised her head and looked at the surveillance camera on the top of the bookcase - she was too impatient last night and ignored the existence of this thing, and she never expected that Zhou Li would be suspicious enough to check the surveillance camera.
She now suspects that Zhou Li deliberately left things behind for fishing.
Jiang Mingzhu opened the folder under Zhou Li's gaze and took out the X-ray photo.
She looked directly at him, "Is this why you married her?"
Zhou Li's eyes flickered for a moment, as if he was shocked by her unreasonable behavior.
Jiang Mingzhu: "You are right, I am very interested. I eavesdropped on your conversation with others in the lounge yesterday."
Jiang Mingzhu held up the physical examination report, her eyes turned red unconsciously, "I can never compare to her, can I?"
Zhou Li: "Why take pictures?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yes, why should I take pictures? Maybe because I am a ***."
Zhou Li frowned at her words.
Jiang Mingzhu raised her arms to wipe away her tears. She looked very embarrassed. "Otherwise, why would I cry all night looking at this photo."
Zhou Li's brows furrowed a little more.
She came in with red and swollen eyes, and it looked like she had been crying all night, but he didn't know why.
Now she said it was because of Zhan Yubai.
Jiang Mingzhu is a liar, and even a person like Zhou Li cannot easily judge which of her words are true and which are false.
Jiang Mingzhu: "If I were willing to donate a kidney to Mrs. Zhou, would you be so kind to me?"
Zhou Li: "There is no if."
Jiang Mingzhu smiled bitterly, "You are right, there are no ifs."
She suddenly broke down and smashed the information in her hand, and the white papers were scattered on the floor.
Zhou Li saw her trembling shoulders and fingers.
He stood up and held her body down with a serious expression on his face, "What are you making a fuss about?"
"...I don't want to see these things, it's disgusting, I hate her, I hate her so much!"
Jiang Mingzhu struggled wildly, but Zhou Li pushed her back again. After several times to no avail, she simply leaned on him and cried.
Zhou Li: "..."
He suddenly remembered that she said last time that she had bipolar disorder.
Her hysterical look and her words "I hate her so much" don't look like a performance.
Jiang Mingzhu sobbed one after another and kept saying "I hate her".
Zhou Li touched her back and said, "Stop crying."
