Kiss the wrong pregnant bride
Chapter 253 Cause and Effect
Chapter 253
The guard looked at the two suspiciously. He could understand every word they said, but when they were connected together, he was confused and couldn't understand the meaning.
"Ma'am." He called again, wanting to remind Ling Xiaoxi that Zuo Xiaomo had given them a death order before leaving, and that no one would be allowed to see her.
"He's my friend, let him in. If Zuo Xiaomo asks, you can just say I said it." Ling Xiaoxi's face was frosty, and his aura, which had been depressed for many days, suddenly rose sharply, and the accumulation on his shoulders With black hair flying in the air, she looked coldly at the guards on both sides, and a terrifying aura erupted from her body.
The guards looked at each other, according to Zuo Xiaomo's love for her, they shouldn't make things difficult for them, right?After hesitating for a while, they finally let go.
Ling Xiaoxi and Shao Qipeng walked into the villa one after the other, and she put the documents on the coffee table.
The servants were making tea for them, and the smell of blood in the air never dissipated. Shao Qipeng sat aside and looked her up and down worriedly, and finally fixed his eyes on her neck: "Who did it?"
He asked in a cold voice, with a dangerous aura on his jade-like elegant face.
"Now is not the time to talk about such trivial matters." Ling Xiaoxi's attention stayed on the document in front of him, "Why is this thing in Uncle's place?"
This is a tripartite agreement on diamond smuggling signed by Ling, Bai, and the former Zuo's president 12 years ago.
"I don't know, maybe uncle gave it to Daddy." Shao Qipeng could only guess like this, his pity eyes never moved away from the pinch marks on her neck, the only person who could do something to her here, except Zuo Xiaomo Besides, there can never be a second one.
"Twelve years ago, do you remember that I asked you to investigate Zuo Xiaomo's information? All his information can only be investigated seven years ago, when he took over Zuo's family, when he met Bai Zhenzhen, and then to the time when he met Bai Zhenzhen. Before, I could hardly find any clues." When Ling Xiaoxi saw the file sent to her by Shao Qipeng, she felt extremely puzzled. , climbed up to Bai Zhenzhen, and used the power of the Bai family to gain a firm foothold in the business world. In the year they got married, the Ling family went bankrupt, and she fell from a high-ranking daughter to a commoner. Mommy became addicted to drugs and met Bai Zhenzhen.
The timing of all this happened was too coincidental, like a serial trap.
"Look carefully at the end of this document." Shao Qipeng turned the document to the last page, where there was an envelope pasted with inkpad, on which was clearly written "Acknowledged by Xiao Xi." '
"This is Daddy's handwriting!" Ling Xiaoxi recognized the handwriting on the envelope almost at a glance, she hurriedly opened the envelope, and a handwritten letter came into her eyes.
Shao Qipeng saw the envelope when he found the document from the safe, but because it was for her, he didn't choose to open it, but delivered it to her as quickly as possible.
"What did uncle write?" Shao Qipeng frowned slightly, not understanding why Ling Zhen's personal letter was pasted behind this document, and it was locked in a safe by his father and kept secret.
There must be some ulterior secret in this.
"Heh," Ling Xiaoxi read the letter at a glance, and smiled tremblingly at the corner of his mouth, but that smile was uglier than crying: "He said, seeing this document proves that I have started to investigate the inside story of the Ling family's bankruptcy. , he asked me to stop all actions and stop investigating further."
"Same as what dad said?" Shao Qipeng's eyes flashed with astonishment, he didn't expect that the letter would contain such content.
"It seems that Daddy has long expected that the Ling family will go bankrupt." Ling Xiaoxi lowered her head slightly, her black eyes glowing coldly: "Zuo family, Ling family, Bai family."
Zuo Xiaomo's reasons for dealing with the Bai family, using her real purpose, all the incomprehensible doubts all connected back and forth, and Ling Xiaoxi came to a conclusion that she couldn't accept at all.
"Brother Qipeng, tell me, how cruel can a person's heart be?" She murmured in a low voice with a gloomy expression.
Seeing her abnormal expression, Shao Qipeng asked worriedly, "What did you think of?"
"The Ling family went bankrupt, and Mommy became addicted to drugs. I surrogate the infertile Bai Zhenzhen for money. I almost died tragically. I was rescued by Zuo Xiaomo. After returning to China, I dealt with the Bai family, which led to the bankruptcy of the Bai family. In addition to this document .” Thin lips slowly spit out several important points.
Shao Qipeng is not a stupid person, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be hailed as the most perfect heir of the Shao family at such a young age. His face suddenly sank: "You mean, all of this is..."
"What happened to Zuo's shareholder back then, the person who signed this contract?" Ling Xiaoxi didn't let him say the following guesses, or, even she herself didn't want to believe it, the conclusions she had speculated in her mind.
"Eleven years ago, there was a sensational corruption and bribery case across the country, in which he," Shao Qipeng tapped the third-party signature with his finger, "illegally smuggled, was exposed, and when he was about to be interrogated, he was accidentally arrested He was shot, and there was a lot of talk about it at the time."
That's why Shao Qipeng remembered it very clearly. During that time, he found that his father would shake his head from time to time, and even heard him arguing with Uncle Ling several times.
"It seems that our guess is probably correct." Ling Xiaoxi hooked the corners of his lips mockingly, his face extremely depressed, what is this?Is it just a game from beginning to end?
In the Qingya villa, the atmosphere is extremely mysterious and heavy, like a skyrocketing balloon, it only needs a needle to poke lightly, and it will burst with a bang.
In the hospital, the lights in the emergency room finally went out amidst Zuo Xiaomo's increasingly gloomy face, and the doctor came out in a white coat, his face covered with a dense layer of beads of sweat.
"Fortunately, it was delivered in time. There was a slight concussion and congestion in the brain, but the blood clot has been taken out, so there is no major problem."
Zuo Xiaomo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his complexion also improved obviously. It was only after Zuo Ruoxin was sent to the intensive care unit that he thought of asking what was going on.
At first, he thought that the accident was caused by the quarrel between Ling Xiaoxi and Zuo Ruoxin, but based on his understanding of her, she should not do such a thing.
"Mr. Shao, I'll leave this to you first. I hope to see Ruoxin's fiancé appear when I come back." Zuo Xiaomo said coldly, and walked away from the hospital. How did he know that there was another scene in the villa? The tough battle with the dark tide is waiting for him.
Shao Le ordered the housekeeper to let Shao Qipeng come to the hospital to visit Zuo Ruoxin immediately. No matter what, she was always the daughter-in-law recognized by the Shao family in public.
In terms of emotion and reason, Shao Qipeng had to come forward.
"Master, the young master is not at home, and the safe in your study was also opened by the young master." The housekeeper said eagerly, with sweat streaming down his face, Shao Qipeng was able to escape under the supervision of so many people, in case the master got angry , isn't it the unlucky ones who are servants?
"Safe?" Shao Le didn't know what to think of, but a trace of panic appeared on his face.
After hanging up the phone, he dialed Shao Qipeng's cell phone himself, "Nizi! Did you take the documents from the safe?"
Shao Qipeng couldn't help frowning at the roar coming from the receiver. He glanced at Ling Xiaoxi, who was livid, and said in a low voice: "Yes! I have already handed over the things to Xiaoxi, Daddy, no matter what happened back then What, Xiao Xi should have the right to know."
His decisive tone made Shao Le completely dumbfounded.
"Old Ling, this time, I really can't help you." He lowered his head weakly, and the scene when Ling Zhen found him five years ago, the eve of the bankruptcy of the Ling family, appeared in his mind.
At that time, Ling Zhen was no longer as energetic as usual, and his whole body was exhausted and lonely.
"Old Shao, my retribution has really arrived." He pushed open the door of Chairman Shao's office, fell down on the sofa, and muttered.
"Old Ling, what nonsense are you talking about?" Shao Le asked in astonishment.
"That child, the child from the Zuo family, came to avenge his father. I haven't slept a peaceful night in these years. It's okay, now it's finally time to pay back. Old Shao, promise me that if one day in the future, Xiao Xi Come to you and ask about me, you must remember not to tell her, at least let her always remember that I am a father who can make her proud."
It was these words that made Shao Le know that the Ling family was on the verge of bankruptcy, so he couldn't make a move. He could only watch helplessly as his huge family business became history overnight.
When Ling Xiaoxi repeatedly questioned him, and when Shao Qipeng repeatedly investigated the events of the year, he obstructed him.
"Old Ling, I hope your daughter can still regard you as a respectable father." Shao Le murmured in a low voice with his back bent, as if he had aged a lot.
What he can do for his friends has already reached the extreme, and he can't control it anymore.
Dragging his exhausted body, Shao Le left the hospital. He was powerless to intervene in the rest of the matter, and he could no longer stop it.
The night is as cool as water, and the deserted moonlight hangs down from the night, and the whole garden is bathed in a goose yellow halo, which is beautiful.
The guards stood ready at their posts, peeking at the movement in the villa from the corner of their eyes from time to time.
"You said, Madam and her friends have been in for a day, why don't you come out?"
"Who knows, should we tell the young master about it?"
"Forget it, if the young master turns his anger on us, he will really be unable to eat and walk away."
……
The guard's whispering voice was extremely low, and suddenly, two beams of dazzling lights came straight from the quiet mountain road, and the unique sound of the Porsche engine was booming, powerful and mellow.
Zuo Xiaomo walked out of the car in a cold outfit, and glanced coldly at the guards standing against the wall, "Has anyone been here today?"
"Madam's friend is visiting at noon." The guard didn't dare to hide anything, and said bravely, "We stopped it, but Madam ordered us to let it go..."
Zuo Xiaomo's face turned cold, the brows seemed to be stained with a layer of frost, he snorted coldly, and walked towards the brightly lit villa.
"He's back." Shao Qipeng sat on the sofa, said calmly, and looked at Ling Xiaoxi worriedly.
Her stiff body moved slightly, her eyelids slowly lifted, and her eyes were piercingly cold.
Are you finally back?
Her fingers lightly lifted the teacup on the table, and she took a sip of the cold coffee. The extremely bitter taste was just like her mood at the moment.
The eyes of the two turned to the direction of the door, and the sound of footsteps became clearer and clearer from far to near. Soon, a black figure appeared under the moonlight.
The exquisite and perfect facial features are like God's most beloved masterpiece, and the black suit vividly sets off the cold aura around him.
Ling Xiaoxi lowered his eyelids, suppressing the complexities in his eyes, and when he raised his head again, there was only frost left.
As soon as Zuo Xiaomo stepped into the door, he immediately felt the unusual atmosphere in the air, his brows were faintly frowned, his eyes swept across Shao Qipeng, and finally fell on Ling Xiaoxi.
She looks a lot more energetic now, she is no longer lifeless for many days, it's just...
His eyebrows twitched secretly, and he faintly felt that something was wrong with her now, as if she was a little more cold and sharp.
Mountain rain is about to hit...
The guard looked at the two suspiciously. He could understand every word they said, but when they were connected together, he was confused and couldn't understand the meaning.
"Ma'am." He called again, wanting to remind Ling Xiaoxi that Zuo Xiaomo had given them a death order before leaving, and that no one would be allowed to see her.
