"Steward Lu, ask the servants if any of the servants saw my sapphire ring just now when they were cleaning the bathroom on the first floor.
I remember it was placed on the sink."
Chu Qiao searched for a long time in the bathroom on the first floor, but there was no trace of the sapphire ring that Yi Qingchen gave her.
"Okay ma'am, I'll ask right away."
As soon as he heard that Chu Qiao's ring was lost, Butler Lu became anxious.
After a while, Butler Lu returned to the living room.
"Madam, many servants have gone in just now, but they all said they didn't see the ring.
How about we check the surveillance to see who else has gone in?
It would be more convenient to check one by one."
"Well, that's fine too."
"Aunt Chu, I don't understand this question a bit.
Can you read it to me?
I still can't keep up with my English."
Lin Yueyue walked to Chu Qiao holding an exercise book.
"Okay, come and sit here."
Chu Qiao glanced at Butler Lu, who nodded clearly and retreated.
Lin Yueyue's background was relatively poor, and she had just arrived Ittany Manor, if she knew something was missing in the manor, she would definitely feel burdened.
Chu Qiao remembered that when she was in junior high school, she lived in the school for a month.
The girls in the same dormitory lost money and everyone in the dormitory became suspects.
Although everyone had sufficient alibi, she still felt a little uncomfortable. , so that for a long time she felt strange when she saw the classmate who lost the money.
She carefully read the English question to Lin Yueyue, and then translated it word for word.
"Thank you Aunt Chu, you speak English better than our teacher."
"Auntie studied in the UK before.
I haven't learned anything like others, but my English is quite good.
When your Uncle Wen is busy in the past two days, I will ask him to find an English tutor for you, so that you can catch up as soon as possible.
The progress of the students.”
When Chu Qiao mentioned "Britain", a happy blush appeared on Chu Qiao's face unconsciously.
Because I went to study in the UK, I later married a little British devil.
Fate is really a wonderful thing sometimes.
"Really?
Auntie, will you hire a tutor for me?"
Many students have hired tutors at home, and some have enrolled in cram schools outside.
Although she doesn't like studying that much, in her opinion, this is a kind of family education.
The symbol of money, especially tutoring, is that much money per hour.
Who can afford it if the family conditions are not good?
"Silly boy, why don't you hire a tutor?
When you learn English well, if you want to study abroad, your aunt will send you there."
"Thank you, Auntie.
Yueyue will never forget Auntie's kindness."
Lin Yueyue has a special paranoia about English because she once heard the servants say that Yi Qingchen is British, so she must learn English well.
She looks forward to being able to communicate with him in fluent English in the future. .
"Silly boy, you don't need to be so polite with auntie.
As long as you can have a good future, auntie will be relieved."
Although she couldn't save the lives of the Lin family and her husband by doing this, it was still her best effort.
"Yeah, I remember."

Lin Yueyue nodded, "Auntie, I will continue to do my homework."
"Okay, go ahead.
I'll have someone come up and call you after lunch."
Not long after Lin Yueyue left, Butler Lu walked in.
"Madam, I don't know where the line is burnt.
All the rooms in the row of control rooms have lost power.
The bodyguards have been investigating one by one since just now.
The results should be available soon."
"The line is burned" Chu Qiao's first reaction was that this incident was man-made.
All the facilities in Ittany Manor are far more cautious than any other house.
Under normal circumstances, there will be no short circuit problem at all.
But she really couldn't figure it out.
Who was doing this with her sapphire ring?
The things Yi Qingchen gave her were always unique.
As long as she casually uploaded a photo, the thing couldn't be sold, and even if it was stolen, it would be in vain.
After about five or six minutes, Butler Lu walked into the living room again.
"Madam, we have found out that the wall lamp at the corner of the stairs on the third floor was tampered with, causing the entire third floor to lose power.
Although we don't know who did it yet, it is obvious that it is our own internal staff, at least.
He knows that the location is in a blind spot and cannot be captured by surveillance cameras. " "Then what this means now is that the surveillance didn't capture who entered the bathroom on the first floor and took away my ring."
The originally lazy face finally had a hint of ups and downs of emotions.
She almost instantly denied that the servants or bodyguards in the manor had taken the ring without permission because they were greedy for money, because they knew better than anyone else.
No buyer would dare to collect the things that leaked out of the Ittany Manor.
The old drama is happening again, but this time I don’t know who is silently leading all this behind the scenes for what reason.
"Madam, look, do you want to gather everyone in the manor and ask?"
"No, no one will admit it if I ask.
Don't make any noise about this matter.
Later, you can ask Assistant Wen to send someone to check the movements of everyone in our manor during this period.
If it is really someone outside who bribed us.
There will definitely be tricks on the part of the people inside.”
"There is one more thing you should pay attention to."
Chu Qiao suddenly thought of something and said again: "This child Yueyue may be more sensitive, so you should pay attention to this in front of her."
"Okay ma'am, I understand."
Butler Lu bowed respectfully, "Then I'll go get lunch prepared first."
"Go ahead."
Chu Qiao waved her hand, and just as Sun Xiang called, she thought about it and picked it up.
"Long time no see, Mr.
Chu."
Although Sun Xiang's voice sounded fine as before, Chu Qiao still felt that something was wrong, so she could only say politely: "Long time no see.
I traveled abroad with Qing Chen for a while, so I never contacted you
.
"
Her wedding to Yi Qingchen was completely closed to the outside world, and only their relatives and friends were invited, so outsiders had no idea about it.
"I originally planned to go see you, but my health has not been good during this period, and I was afraid that I would get sick of you, so I didn't dare to come and bother you.
A few days ago, I heard that Shao Jin was getting married soon, so I thought Call and ask first.
The more time you have, the less rude the gift will be. ” "It's just this month, it won't be long.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I've been preparing invitations these days, and they should be delivered to your house soon.
It's hard for you to be so thoughtful.
In fact, gifts depend on your feelings, so there is no need to spend special money on them.
If you have too many thoughts, just let your thoughts come to you.”
Sun Xiang is a smart person.
Naturally, she would not have guessed that people on Chu Qiao's side were wary of her.
She made this call just to test whether she could attend Yi Shaojin's wedding.
After all, It's a fact that being good friends with Chu Qiao can make her company's business prosper.
If she hadn't been invited to Yi Shaojin's wedding this time, I'm afraid she would have started to decline.
"That's good.
I want to wish the newlyweds in advance.
Later, I will personally choose a suitable gift, which can be regarded as a token of my affection."
"Okay, I'd like to thank you on behalf of both of them.
When you feel better, come and sit here with me.
We haven't had afternoon tea together for a long time."
Chu Qiao's voice was still polite, and there was nothing strange about it at all, or maybe there was no strangeness at all.
"Okay, then we've made it a deal."
Chu Qiao hung up the phone, just as a servant came in to invite her to lunch, she saw Lin Yueyue walking towards her with a backpack on her back.
"Yueyue, it's time to have lunch, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, I just wanted to tell you that my classmate invited me to their home for lunch on her birthday."
Lin Yueyue shook the small gift box with a lavender bow in her hand towards her, "I promised her to finish her homework.
I just went there, who knew it took so long to finish.”
"Then go quickly."
Chu Qiao originally wanted to ask the driver to take her off, but when she thought of Wen Yi'an's words of advice, she finally swallowed it.
"Well, then I'll leave first."
Lin Yueyue waved to her and went out happily.
That afternoon, Yi Qingchen, who was listening to Butler Lu's report on the ring-losing incident that happened in the manor in the study, suddenly received a MMS.
In the photo is the sapphire ring that Chu Qiao lost in the bathroom this morning.
After a while, his cell phone rang.
He answered the phone with a smile, a trace of disdain on the corners of his thin lips.
"Mr.
Stuart, I think maybe we should have a chat."
Jiang Shaoxiu's voice was obviously a little more leisurely than last time.
"I'm not interested in talking about sorry."
"Mr.
Stuart is not interested in the things in the photo.
I think you are more familiar with this ring than me."
Yi Qingchen laughed and finally realized why Hao Duan Duan had lost Chu Qiao's ring, and why he had received such a photo from Hao Duan Duan.
So that's it.
It seems that Jiang Shaoxiu's IQ has really been dragged down by the many matters on the treasure island, and he can't keep up at all.
"If Mr.
Jiang likes it, just keep it.
Sapphire rings like this are everywhere in the jewelry companies of our Q Group.
If you still don't think it's enough, I'll send someone to give you more when a new mine opens this year."
In the past, the treasures in the eyes of the world were just stones here.”

"Mr.
Stuart is indeed rich and powerful, but this one is probably not as simple as you said.
There are some words that I will stop talking about.
As long as you can help me secure my position as the number one leader of the treasure island, maybe There’s no telling whether it will come back to you one day.”
If it weren't for the Baodao military's purchase of arms being blocked as Yi Qingchen said, and the old Stuart couldn't be contacted, he wouldn't want to offend Yi Qingchen head-on.
After all, it's not the time yet. when.
Yi Qingchen twitched the corners of her lips disdainfully, "I told you, if you want it, I'll give it to you."
"Mr.
Stuart, have you really thought about this?
This thing is related to your wealth and life.
Girl, I have given up.
I just want to take care of the things my father has given me, so I hope you can fulfill it."
Jiang Shaoxiu was worried that he was not strong enough, so he specifically added: "You know, if I really want to use my crooked ideas, just having no ring is enough, isn't it?"
Yi Qingchen finally lost his patience and hung up the phone.
He really has no interest in stupid people at all.
Not long after, my uncle's phone call came as promised.
Yi Qingchen didn't even look at it, just stuffed the phone into the drawer, got up and left the study.
"Sir, if you don't answer the phone, I'm afraid Mr.
Xi will have some ideas."
Wen Yi'an was standing aside just now, and he could understand everything, so he couldn't help but worry now.
"He will understand.
Su asked Lan how the arrangements are going."
"That's almost it.
If nothing unexpected happens tonight, a lot of news will be posted on the world's well-known forum websites.
She has a letter in her hand that can prove that Mr.
Jiang Hanwu is not a biological child of the Jiang family.
Therefore, regardless of whether Jiang Shaoxiu is related to Mr.
Jiang Hanwu by blood or not, I will no longer be qualified to sit in this position.”
"It's the share that Jiang Shaoxiu gave to Chu Qiao before."
"Yes, in fact, Su Wenlan discovered this letter very early, and she secretly made a copy."
"Well, let's do it like this."
If it weren't for his uncle's repeated persuasion, he would have revealed this matter long ago.
Now that Jiang Shaoxiu wanted to get rid of the Su family first, he couldn't blame Su Wenlan for retaliating.
He did.
"I guess Jiang Shaoxiu has been coerced by Su Wenlan because of this letter, so he used the most direct method to silence her."
In fact, Wen Yi'an completely disagreed with Jiang Shaoxiu's behavior.
A man would actually sell his lust in order to secure his position.
It's no wonder that Jiang Shaoxiu became more and more unreliable in the future, so much so that he tried every means to get rid of Su Wenlan and the Su family.
"Well, it must be because of my father-in-law.
After all, my aunt tried her best to insert him into the Jiang family and messed up the blood of the Jiang family.
If this matter is revealed, then all the hard work of my aunt over the years will be in vain. ” Yi Qingchen waved his hand and said, "Go."
That night, just as Wen Yi'an said, all the forum websites were flooded with a handwritten letter from the previous leader of Baodao.
The pictures and texts stated that Jiang Hanwu and Jiang Shaoxiu were not descendants of the Jiang family.
After a detailed explanation, this bombing news caused a stir at home and abroad.
Chu Qiao's hand holding the tablet shook suddenly.

"Qingchen, you did it"
"Su Wenlan."
"That's good, otherwise if you expose the things that my aunt has been hiding in the Jiang family for so many years, how will your grandpa and uncle deal with you when you see them?"
"When the old ones are gone, there will naturally be new ones.
My uncle understands that.
Don't worry."
"Then Jiang Shaoxiu" "Whether he is good or bad in the future is his fate, but it's just that everything has been restored."
Yi Qingchen suddenly thought of Pei Shaoxiu, who had been deeply rooted in Chu Qiao's heart, and immediately fell silent, "Wife," "Don't think too much, I'm just asking.
If he is really my father-killing enemy, he can't run away."
"Leave this matter to me and I will send someone to investigate."
"Um."
In fact, without Yi Qingchen's push behind him, it would have been impossible for Jiang Shaoxiu to get down from his high position so quickly.
Against Yi Qingchen's strength, he would have had no chance to struggle.
Soon, the Xi family secretly arranged for a more suitable person to take over the treasure island, and Jiang Shaoxiu, who had nothing, was arrested for this.
On the same day, more than a dozen people from the Su family, including Su Wenlan, were also imprisoned.
Baodao Prison, awaiting investigation.
Chu Qiao sat quietly and listened to Wen Yi'an narrating the whole incident, and suddenly she felt countless emotions.
"Madam, Shao Jin."
"Give me."
She took the phone from Butler Lu, but heard Yi Shaojin's voice was a little hoarse.
"What's wrong" "It's my mother who has cancer."
"cancer" Chu Qiao couldn't help but frown slightly.
So good, why did she get cancer?
Isn't Song Meijian always in good health?
The prison has always done regular check-ups for her.
"Yeah, stomach cancer."
Yi Shaojin's voice seemed a little low, "Xiao Qiao, tell me, am I the nemesis?
My biological mother also has cancer, and now she is too.
Tell me, am I the nemesis of them?
No wonder they don't like me." , they are right not to like me, at least they can live longer if they don’t like me.”
When she thought of Li Keli, who later committed suicide because of self-blame, she felt that her heart was filled with mixed emotions and she felt a little more sad for no reason.
"Stupid or not, it's the stupidest thing to say.
Song Meijian has lived with you for so many years.
If you suppressed her, she would still be alive.
Don't think too much about where you are now."
"I'm in the military hospital.
She won't tell Shaoqing about this, so I'm alone."
"Okay, I'll come right away."
Chu Qiao hung up the phone and asked the driver to take her to the military hospital.
In the pale ward, Song Meizhen, who was wearing a hospital gown, looked obviously weaker than the previous two days.
Although she was lying on the hospital bed with her eyes half-closed, the prayer beads in her hands never stopped turning.
"You're here."
Hearing Yi Shaojin's voice, Song Meijian slowly opened her eyes, looking at Chu Qiao with slightly dull eyes, revealing a smile as pure as the first.
Chu Qiao was awkward for a while, and finally called out "Auntie", not for anything else, just because of the familiar long-lost smile just now.
Song Meijian said hello to her, then closed her eyes and began to take a nap without speaking.

The ward was eerily quiet for a time.
"Mom, Xiao Qiao and I are outside in the living room.
If you need something, call me."
"Well, go ahead."
Only then did Yi Shaojin quietly close the door.
"What did the doctor say?"
Yi Shaojin shook his head, "The doctor said that it is unlikely to be cured.
Even if you undergo chemotherapy, it will only take a few months.
But my mother disagreed.
She said she would not undergo chemotherapy.
She said she did not want to leave without losing all her hair." , Anyway, everyone will die sooner or later, it is better to be intact. " After hearing this, Chu Qiao suddenly felt very sour in her heart.
She sighed and could only say: "Let's persuade her later."
"Well, that's what I planned.
Shaoqing and I are about to get married, and she doesn't have much time left.
I want to go and beg my grandpa to let me take her out, so that she can be at home at least.
"Leaving is the last thing we can do for her as children."
"That's okay.
Maybe after attending your wedding, your mood will feel better and your body will feel better.
You can never tell with your body."
Seeing that Chu Qiao agreed, Yi Shaojin finally had a smile on his face.
As long as Chu Qiao agrees, it will be easier to communicate with Mr.
Yi.
Because the two of them were thinking about this matter, they deliberately chose to go back to their old house that night.
At the dinner table, when Yi Shaojin mentioned this matter for the first time, Mr.
Yi slapped the table.
"You don't speak when you eat or sleep.
Do you still want me to teach you this?"
Yi Shaoqing calmly tugged on Yi Shaojin's sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.
"Grandpa, I only have one wish.
I hope that my parents can attend my wedding.
And my mother already knows that she was wrong.
She eats fast and chants Buddha's name every day now, and she will never be like before again."
Mr.
Yi put down his chopsticks coldly, "She must not tarnish the Lord Buddha by eating fast and chanting Buddha's name.
I will not agree to it."
Finally, everything has been sorted out.
If we let her out again, wouldn't we be asking for trouble?
"Grandpa, I beg you"
"If it were useful, I wouldn't be a marshal anymore."
"grandfather" "Okay, Shao Jin, let's stop talking and eat first."
Yi Shaoqing patted her hand and signaled her not to continue.
"Grandpa, can I talk to you alone after dinner?"
Chu Qiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
Yi Qingchen glanced at her curiously, already guessing that Yi Shaojin must have gone to Chu Qiao's place to bring reinforcements.
"Well, come find me in the study after dinner later."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Yi Qingchen could guess that Mr.
Yi was naturally not confused, but Chu Qiao was just pregnant now.
He didn't want to make her emotional, so he would inevitably be more indulgent.
The brat Yi Qingchen even dug up the old roots he had buried in Treasure Island for so many years just for this girl.
He didn't want to provoke him to do something unexpected again.
"Thank you Grandpa."
Chu Qiao smiled and winked at Yi Shaojin, who immediately picked up the chopsticks to eat honestly.
After dinner, Chu Qiao specially took Song Meijian's medical records from Yi Shaojin, and then knocked softly on the door of Mr.
Yi's study.
"Come in."
"Grandpa."
“Let’s talk about Song Meijian” Mr.
Yi knew it in his heart, so naturally he didn't want to beat around the bush anymore and said directly.
"Well, I hope Grandpa you can agree to let her out of jail, she doesn't have a few months left."
When Chu Qiao spoke, she handed the medical record to Mr.
Yi.
"This is her case, stomach cancer.
Even with chemotherapy, it will only last a few months, so we hope to get her out and spend these last few months well."
"You two kids are so kind.
A snake can bite someone before it dies, let alone someone who is obsessed with it."
"Don't worry, I will find someone to keep an eye on her at all times, and I will never let her hurt Shao Jin in the slightest.
After all, she raised Shao Jin from a young age.
If she doesn't have any feelings, it won't make sense.
I beg you to grant Shao Jin's wish. ” Mr.
Yi sighed and waved his hand helplessly, "It's up to you, you kids, you can't remember after so many losses."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
