After the divorce, I started to transfer

Zhao Zixuan drove the car, carrying Chen Feng all the way, and finally stopped in front of a very stylish Cantonese restaurant.

At this time, the midday sun was shining brightly, and people were coming and going on the streets. It was the bustling dinner time of the day.

The two pushed open the door of the Cantonese restaurant and found a quiet and comfortable place to sit down. Then, one Cantonese dish after another with good color, aroma and taste was served on the table. Zhao Zixuan had eaten at this restaurant before, and Chen Feng was also very satisfied after eating it.

After the meal, Chen Feng took the initiative to suggest going to a nearby five-star hotel to rest for a while. Zhao Zixuan accepted Chen Feng's arrangement without much hesitation.

Soon, the two arrived at a nearby luxurious five-star hotel. In the comfortable room of the hotel, they spent a warm afternoon in comfort.

Afterwards, the two walked into the bathroom together and took a hot bath. After each of them walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a soft bathrobe, Chen Feng took out two bottles of Evian mineral water from the refrigerator beside him. Then the two walked to the huge French window and sat down on the sofa by the window.

"When do you plan to go back?" Zhao Zixuan took a sip of water, trying to make her tone sound casual and natural, and asked casually.

Chen Feng raised a gentle smile and said, "Since you have come all the way here, you must stay for a few days and take a good look around here."

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Zhao Zixuan suddenly felt a surge of joy in her heart, and quickly asked, "Really? Don't lie to me."

Chen Feng nodded and said sincerely: "Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"

"You haven't been home for so many days. How are you going to explain this to your girlfriend?" Zhao Zixuan couldn't help but ask curiously.

Chen Feng glanced at her sideways and explained patiently, "I just rushed back from New York this time and haven't had time to tell her about this yet."

Zhao Zixuan curled her lips slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing this, Chen Feng changed the subject and asked, "How long have you known Grandma Liu?"

Zhao Zixuan answered without thinking, "It's not that long, just over a month. I don't have much work right now, and she and I get along really well, so I visit her every now and then. Although we've only known each other for a short time, we've become very close."

"Then do you think Grandma Liu will eventually agree to move to Old Man Yan's nursing home?" Chen Feng asked.

Zhao Zixuan pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I don't think so. Old Man Yan and Old Lady Zhang tried to persuade her before, but she refused to give in. She won't change her mind this time. During the time I've been with her, I've learned that she is a very stubborn old lady. Once she makes a decision, it's hard to change it. She has a strong sense of self-esteem and doesn't like to accept help from others easily. She felt bad when I sent her some fruit before, let alone staying in a nursing home for free."

Chen Feng nodded thoughtfully and said, "She does seem to have a strong sense of self-esteem. However, in my opinion, she will most likely move to Old Man Yan's nursing home this time."

"Why do you say that?" Zhao Zixuan looked at Chen Feng with confusion in his eyes.

Chen Feng shook his head gently and said, "When we sent her back, didn't you notice her precious grandson?"

Zhao Zixuan became even more confused and asked, "What happened to her grandson? Is there anything wrong?"

Chen Feng sighed helplessly and explained, "Her grandson hadn't come to see her for a long time before, but now he suddenly appears and is flattering and fawning on her. Don't you think this is too abnormal?"

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Zhao Zixuan finally reacted, frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that something is really wrong. I have known Grandma Liu for more than a month, and I have never seen her grandson visit her. Only after she receives her pension every month, her grandson will video chat with her, say a few words, and then ask her to transfer 4,000 yuan for living expenses. Grandma Liu has to pay 2,000 yuan a month to live in a nursing home, and the remaining money is only more than 1,000 yuan."

After hearing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but complain: "You're already such a grown-up, but you still have to rely on your grandmother to support you. You're so useless."

Zhao Zixuan smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, every family has its own problems. According to Grandma Liu, her grandson used to have good grades and graduated from college. He also had a good income when he first started working. But later, his girlfriend of many years ran away with someone else. He changed after that. He quit his job and focused on his business. As a result, he lost all his money, even the two houses in his family, and he never recovered from the setback. His parents passed away early, leaving only Grandma Liu as an elder. Grandma Liu had no choice but to support him. Fortunately, her pension is not bad, more than 7,000 yuan a month, and she is provided with food and accommodation in the nursing home, and there are people to take care of her, so her life is not bad. Her grandson has 4,000 yuan a month, as long as he doesn't squander it, he can barely make ends meet."

After hearing this, Chen Feng frowned even more, knowing that Grandma Liu's grandson was completely hopeless. He did not keep her in suspense any longer and said directly: "Given her grandson's behavior, he suddenly came to see her so diligently today. He must have bad intentions. It's just like a weasel visiting a chicken for the New Year. Old man Yan is not someone you can easily mess with, and he will not give up easily. Since he can find Grandma Liu's old girlfriend from Shandong Province and bribe her, he can naturally bribe Grandma Liu's grandson. Her grandson is her weak spot. As long as she grasps this point, what else can Grandma Liu, an elderly widow, do? She will definitely be at the mercy of others."

Zhao Zixuan's face instantly turned serious after hearing Chen Feng's analysis. He frowned slightly and said, "Now that you mention it, it is indeed possible. However, Old Man Yan is also infatuated with Grandma Liu. After so many years, he still misses Grandma Liu and specifically finds her, and wants her to live in a nursing home for free. I think Old Man Yan should have no ill will towards Grandma Liu, so even if Grandma Liu and him have a sunset romance, there is nothing wrong with it."

Chen Feng shook his head decisively and said, "I've said before that if he was really obsessed with Grandma Liu, he should have found her decades ago. Even if he had a wife at the time, it wouldn't have affected him finding Grandma Liu first. In short, I think his sudden appearance this time must have an ulterior motive."

Zhao Zixuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You just think too badly of people. Grandma Liu only has a few thousand yuan in pension now. Apart from her, what else can Old Man Yan want?"

"I don't know what he's trying to do specifically, but there must be other purposes. If you don't believe me, let's just wait and see. Since Old Man Yan has already found Grandma Liu, and with her disappointing grandson, his true purpose will soon be exposed." Chen Feng said confidently.

Zhao Zixuan smiled and said, "You sound so confident, so I'll call Grandma Liu tomorrow to ask about the situation."

"Okay, you can call her tomorrow or go to the nursing home to talk to her in person," said Chen Feng.

Zhao Zixuan asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly so concerned about Grandma Liu?"

Chen Feng explained: "We just happened to meet her. She is an elderly widow with no one to rely on. It is really heartbreaking to see her like this. If we can help her, it is our duty to do so."

After hearing this, Zhao Zixuan nodded slightly and reluctantly accepted his statement.

……

At the same time, Mao Ziwei, who had been accompanying his grandmother in the nursing home for most of the day, walked out of the nursing home with a dark face, looking as gloomy as if water could drip out of it.

In order to get what he wanted from his grandmother, he pretended to be a filial grandson for most of the day and didn't even have time to eat lunch, but in the end he got nothing.

From the very beginning, he asked directly about the whereabouts of the family jade pendant, but grandma denied it and said that it never happened.

But Mao Ziwei clearly remembered that he had seen the jade pendant more than once when he was a child, and even heard his father say in person that it was an ancestral treasure in their family that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

He firmly believed that his memory was correct, so he kept asking his grandmother. After being asked so many questions, his grandmother had no choice but to say that she had sold the jade pendant a few years ago.

But this statement was even more difficult for him to believe. How could a jade pendant that had been passed down in the family for hundreds of years be sold just like that? If the jade pendant could really be sold, how could he have watched the two houses in his family being mortgaged to pay off the debt?

But no matter how he asked, grandma refused to tell the truth and even got angry. Mao Ziwei had no choice but to give up temporarily.

In order to appease his grandmother, he helped her clean up the room, get hot water, and watched TV with her for the whole afternoon. He didn't leave the nursing home until it was getting dark. As soon as he got on the old electric donkey, Mao Ziwei couldn't wait to pick up his phone and call billionaire Yan Guangyuan.

"Hello, Director Yan, it's me, Xiao Mao."

There was a hint of flattery in his tone.

When Yan Guangyuan received the call, a look of disgust and disgust instantly appeared on his face, but he still tried to use a gentle tone to ask: "How is the matter going? Did you find the thing?"

"The thing hasn't been found yet, but I'm confident that I'll find it in the next few days. In addition, I will try my best to convince my grandma to move to your nursing home. However, after thinking about it carefully, that thing is, after all, a family heirloom of our Mao family, with hundreds of years of history. I think the one million you mentioned before is a bit too little." Mao Ziwei said tentatively.

"Then how much do you want?" Yan Guangyuan asked coldly.

"Two... no, three million. As long as you give me three million, I promise to hand over the things to you intact." Mao Ziwei gritted his teeth and said bravely.

"Two million at most. For your grandmother's sake, this is the highest price I can offer. I don't want any more." Yan Guangyuan said firmly.

"Okay, okay, two million. It's settled then, and we'll hand over the money and the goods when the time comes." Mao Ziwei said quickly.

"Well, is there anything else?" Yan Guangyuan asked impatiently.

"Well, can you give me an advance of 100,000 yuan? I want to buy a car so that it will be more convenient to pick up and drop off my grandma in the future." Mao Ziwei said cautiously.

Yan Guangyuan's eyes were full of disgust, but he still said, "Okay, send me the account number and I'll have someone transfer it to you later."

"Thank you, Mr. Yan. Don't worry, I will definitely persuade my grandmother to go over there, and I will also find the things and send them to you as soon as possible." Mao Ziwei's face was full of joy and he said flatteringly.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news."

"Just wait and see. I will definitely not let you down. I will find the item as soon as possible and let you know as soon as possible."

"Then let's do this for now."

"Okay, Director Yan, I'll contact you later."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Guangyuan shook his head helplessly, sighing in his heart. Back then, Liu Qiumei was the white moonlight in his heart, smart and kind, but he didn't expect her grandson to be such a useless guy who even harmed his grandmother.

If this was his grandson, he would have beaten him to death with a stick.

On this side, Mao Ziwei quickly sent his bank account number to Yan Guangyuan via text message.

Then he started the old electric scooter and drove towards the rental house in the district.

In fact, the rental house is not far from the nursing home. It only takes more than 20 minutes to get there by riding this broken electric scooter with a maximum speed of only 30 miles per hour. If you drive, it will only take a few minutes.

But even though he lived so close, he rarely visited his grandmother more than once a month in the past.

Along the way, Mao Ziwei's mind was full of thoughts about where his grandmother had hidden the family heirloom jade pendant.

When he helped his grandmother clean up the room, he had already searched every place he could, except for the big wardrobe.

The room is so small that there are only a few places to hide things. If it is really hidden in the room, it should not be difficult to find it if you look carefully.

Moreover, apart from this room in the nursing home, grandma had no other place to hide things. After all, neither she nor her grandson had their own house.

Grandma would definitely not give such a valuable jade pendant to anyone else for safekeeping.

After much thought, Mao Ziwei still felt that the jade pendant should be in his grandmother's room.

But he couldn't turn the room upside down in front of his grandmother.

My grandmother has difficulty walking now and stays in her room most of the time. She lives on the second floor and there is no elevator, so she seldom goes downstairs alone.

This made it difficult for him to find an excuse to get his grandmother away.

After thinking for a long time, Mao Ziwei finally made up his mind. He planned to get some sleeping pills for his grandmother to take. When his grandmother fell asleep, he would have enough time to search the room carefully.

Having made up his mind, he stepped on the accelerator of the eDonkey and drove it to the fastest speed of 30 mph.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the district, which was the old county town.

After parking the car in front of a drugstore, Mao Ziwei took out 100 yuan and bought sleeping pills smoothly. Nowadays, there are drugstores everywhere in the streets and alleys, and the control of prescription drugs is not very strict. It is easier to buy drugs like Mao Ziwei is willing to spend more money to buy.

After buying the sleeping pills, Mao Ziwei wanted to rush back to the nursing home to feed his grandmother the pills. But when he looked at the sky, it was already dark. If he went back suddenly at this time, it would be difficult to find a chance to give her the pills, so he had to give up the idea.

Just then, his poker friends sent him a WeChat message, saying that they were short of one player and asked him to come over to play cards. Without saying anything, Mao Ziwei immediately rushed to the place where they were playing cards.

Since his business failed and he began to rely on his parents for support, playing cards and mahjong has become his only "job". Although the stakes are not high and he wins or loses only a few hundred yuan a day, this is the greatest pleasure in his life now.

As for what I told my grandma before, that I wanted to open a convenience store, that was of course a lie.

However, he did spend every day in the store, because that was where his friends would gather to play cards, so it wasn't entirely a lie to say that he "watched the store" every day. (End of this chapter)
