Heart invasion

They have known each other for 20 years, and they understand each other, the good and the bad, the unknown and the ugly, all clearly.

Zhou Qin didn't like Jiang Lanxi, not only was she just an adopted daughter of Jiang's family, but also felt that she was weak and deceitful, and could be manipulated by others.

But she occasionally feels sympathy for Jiang Lanxi, a confidante who is unlucky.

Zhou Qin had sympathy, but not much, and she didn't want Jiang Lanxi to make any waves. She asked, "What is the relationship between Jiang Lanxi and Mu Wantang now?"

Jiang Yi chuckled, "It's definitely not a friend, the ex and the current one cannot be friends."

Zhou Qin agrees with what he said, "Mu Wantang is arrogant and domineering. Now that she is married to Chu Beiyan, even Chu Huaishan is protecting her, and she is even more lawless."

Jiang Yi understood what she meant, "The Mu family intends to marry Mu Shiran and Chu Qingmu to suppress Mu Wantang and Chu Beiyan. She herself is in trouble, so she has no time to meddle in other people's business."

Zhou Qin was a little relieved, and then mocked: "Mu Qingyun, the father, is really eccentric. I want to leave the good ones to my second daughter."

Jiang Yi smiled faintly, "People's hearts are inherently biased, and it's impossible for you to expect to treat everyone equally."

……

In the private room next door, Chu Beiyan and Chu Huaiming were talking and laughing happily.

Chu Huaiming is Chu Huaishan's younger brother, and Chu Beiyan has to call him Second Uncle, and he is also Chu Rui's grandfather.

Chu Rui was beaten with a sack, and he was thrown on the street with a bruised nose and a swollen face, without a face.

Perhaps Chu Beiyan has a reputation for being cruel and vicious, and Chu Rui embarrassed Mu Wantang at the old man's birthday banquet.

Therefore, the matter of Chu Rui's injury was pushed to Chu Beiyan's head, and it was he who took revenge on Chu Rui for Mu Wantang.

After all, it was the Chu family, so they didn't do anything cruel, but just beat him up as a lesson.

Chu Beiyan went to the hospital to visit Chu Rui in the afternoon, and happened to meet Chu Huaiming, who took advantage of the opportunity to invite Chu Beiyan to have dinner with him.

Chu Huaiming said as soon as he opened his mouth, "I know that Xiao Rui's injury has nothing to do with you. If you wanted to beat him, you wouldn't put a sack on him, and just hit him."

He had a tone of trust in Chu Beiyan, and Chu Beiyan looked as usual, "I didn't take this little matter to heart. Tangtang is a reasonable and open-minded person, so he wouldn't care about it, and even comforted me not to worry about it." This matter is angry, saying that no matter who sees two identical paintings, they will have the same reaction as Chu Rui."

Chu Huaiming boasted: "I didn't expect that Ms. Mu is not only good-looking, but also so sensible. Next time I am free, I treat her to dinner as an apology to her."

Chu Beiyan smiled and said, "Second Uncle did nothing wrong, why do you have to apologize to her? You are an elder, if you want to treat me to dinner, it is we who treat you!"

He was polite and thoughtful, Chu Huaiming smiled amiably, "You don't have to be so polite, you just don't blame Xiao Rui for being reckless."

Chu Beiyan said in a warm voice: "Speaking of which, it is the second uncle who suffers from this matter. He finally bought a painting he liked, but it turned out to be fake. If he knew it, let it go, and was pointed out in public. It was lost inside and out. face."

Chu Huaiming sighed, "That's right, who would have thought that after spending such a large amount of money on a good painting, what they got was a fake?"

Chu Beiyan comforted him a few words, "Just think of it as spending money to buy a lesson, money is a trivial matter."

Chu Huaiming sighed again, "I feel uncomfortable after all."

Chu Beiyan said generously: "The next time I find Master Song's painting, I will send it to my second uncle as soon as possible."

Chu Huaiming's eyes lit up slightly, and he agreed, "Okay! Then I will thank you first!"

Chu Beiyan poured tea for Chu Huaiming, seemingly unintentionally said: "I heard that because of the painting, many people went to Mr. Zhou who sold the painting."

Chu Huaiming took a sip of tea and nodded, "The biggest art dealer in Nancheng is Zhou Qin, and nine out of ten of the good paintings are in her hands."

Chu Beiyan chuckled, "She's a woman, she's capable."

Chu Huaiming laughed, "Don't look down on women, there are quite a few capable women now, and they all do well."

Chu Beiyan said: "I didn't mean to look down on people, but I was a little surprised that she was able to secure such a big deal."

Chu Huaiming said: "The Zhou family and the Jiang family are in-laws. Although there was some unhappiness in the past, the Jiang family owed the Zhou family a little in this matter and gave the Zhou family a lot of benefits."

Chu Beiyan naturally knew that the Jiang and Zhou families were tied to the same boat, so he asked curiously and puzzled, "What is the second uncle talking about?"

Chu Huaiming looked at him, "The current Mrs. Jiang is not the Mrs. Jiang of the past. In the early years, Jiang Zonghua's original partner was gone!"

Chu Beiyan was startled, "Isn't Madam Jiang Jiang Yi's biological mother?"

Chu Huaiming nodded, "No, his biological mother hanged herself in the Jiang family mansion not long after he was born, and the Jiang family and Zhou family blocked the news afterwards."

Chu Beiyan was investigating Jiang Yi and Zhou Qin, but did not find out about this secret matter, "Why?"

Chu Huaiming shook his head, "I don't know."

Chu Beiyan wondered if Jiang Yi knew that Mrs. Jiang whom he was calling mother now was not his biological mother.

Chu Huaiming thought of Mrs. Jiang back then, with a smile on his face, "Looking at Jiang Yi's appearance, you can tell how good-looking his mother was back then, the number one beauty in Nancheng, how many people were defeated by her pomegranate skirt In the end, Jiang Zonghua married her."

Jiang Zonghua himself is not bad looking, Mrs. Jiang is gentle and docile, giving birth to a child with such a flirtatious appearance as Jiang Yi, it can only be said that it is a genetic mutation, and he dares to love that his biological mother is someone else.

Chu Beiyan smiled, "Why has no one mentioned such a beautiful woman?"

Chu Huaiming said: "What happened more than 20 years ago, whoever has nothing to do will bring up the old things again."

Chu Beiyan said jokingly, "Second Uncle remembers clearly."

Chu Huaiming intentionally shared a little secret with him, "Your father chased her before, but it's a pity that he didn't like him."

Chu Beiyan was surprised, "Is there such a thing?"

Chu Huaiming smiled triumphantly, "Men all love beauties, my eldest brother has been married three times, and my three sister-in-laws are all more beautiful than the other."

Chu Beiyan couldn't refute, and said with an unchanged expression: "Everyone has the desire to love beauty, and my second uncle is no exception."

Chu Huaiming was startled, then smiled and said, "That's the way people are alive. I heard that the girlfriend you dated before was that little girl from the Jiang family?"

Chu Beiyan was vigilant, but his face remained calm, "I'm different from my father, one marriage is enough."

Chu Huaiming smiled, "The little girl from Jiang's family is good-looking, she has a bit of the shadow of the late Mrs. Jiang, but she is purer than Mrs. Jiang. Why does your father object to you being together and let you marry someone with a bad reputation?" How are you, Mu Wantang?"

Chu Beiyan looked at him fixedly, "Does Second Uncle know something?"

Chu Huaiming said: "What can I know? I'm just as curious as you! I don't choose famous ladies, I prefer girls who are flamboyant, but your father likes girls like Mu Wantang."

Chu Beiyan didn't like Chu Huaiming's frivolous evaluation of Mu Wantang, he said lightly: "I am the one who wants to marry Mu Wantang, it has nothing to do with my father."

Chu Huaiming said meaningfully, "Really? I thought your father forced you!"
