The Perfect Hidden Marriage

"Didn't Mr. Jin talk to you on the phone?"

Wen Zhuo asked gently:

"He said before that he would tell you in person."

"No."

She raised her phone and said in a very depressed voice:

"I couldn't get through to his cell phone. He had his phone on before..."

It’s really annoying!

He can't be found at critical moments.

This man, I really don’t know what to say about him!

"Maybe the power is out. In the afternoon, Mr. Jin made several long-distance calls with the British side. It's normal for the power to run out."

"Isn't there a power bank in his bag?"

That was what she had prepared.

"I didn't realize the power was out for a moment!"

"Wenzhuo, you can really find reasons for him."

Wen Zhuo: "..."

He couldn't answer the question.

Without him, I just found that Xiao Jinghuan seemed to be in a particularly bad mood today, and her tone was angry, which was rare.

Normally, this couple is very affectionate, and their mutual consideration is enviable.

What's going on today? We haven't seen each other for a few hours. Why is it like this?

"Mr. Xiao, nothing happened this afternoon... right?"

he asked tentatively.

"fine!"

Of course, private matters must be left to be resolved privately.

"By the way, how's the loan going?"

She changed the subject.

"The president said they have to hold an internal meeting. They will get back to us the day after tomorrow at the latest..."

"Oh, that's okay... everyone, continue..."

She nodded and was about to go back, but found everyone else in the office staring at her.

"Any thing else?"

she had to ask.

Wenzhuo smiled and pointed at his watch:

"Oh, that's right, it's after five o'clock...are you still working overtime today?"

He asked what everyone was thinking.

Yes, before I knew it, it was five o'clock again.

She checked the time on her phone and thought for a while. Jin Changning was not here and she had other things to do:

"No more. Everyone has worked hard for so many days and got off work on time today. Let's go back and have a good rest! The current situation of the group cannot be solved in a day or two. We must be prepared to fight a protracted war... Your body must not be exhausted... Come back..."

After announcing this decision, he was planning to return to the president's office.

"Mr. Xiao, what about you? Are you still in the company?"

Xi Manli asked from behind.

"Well, I will leave as soon as I contact Mr. Jin. That's it, you guys retreat first... don't worry about me, I still have Sister Kuang guarding me..."

She waved inside and closed the door.

*

As a result, Xiao Jinghuan never contacted Jin Changning.

His cell phone never turned on again.

It can be seen that the situation is not as simple as Wenzhuo saying that the phone is out of battery.

Before six o'clock, Xiao Jinghuan made the last call and got into the passenger seat while the other party's phone was still turned off. Her face was extremely gloomy and her heart was in a state of confusion.

Kuang Meiyun glanced at her and could clearly feel that she was in a very unhappy mood.

"Xiao Xiao, where are you going now?"

She asked softly.

"Go to Bizhuxuan."

Unable to find Jin Changning, she had to go to see Peng Boran alone.

*

Bizhuxuan.

When Xiao Jinghuan opened the door and entered the box, she saw Peng Boran swallowing clouds and mist. There was a strong smell of cigarette smoke in it, and she choked immediately.

"Cough cough cough..."

Peng Boran turned around and when he saw it was her, he quickly put out the cigarette:

"Sorry, I didn't know you came so early. I'll ask someone to move you to a private room! The smell of cigarette smoke is too strong."

"No need. Just open the window to disperse the smoke smell."

Xiao Jinghuan went to open the window, and the cold wind blew in. She couldn't help shivering, rubbed her palms and turned her head and said:

"I said Lao Peng, your lungs are not good, you should smoke less... In today's society, all kinds of pollution are getting more and more serious, and there are more and more diseases. Take care of yourself... Don't do it at a young age. You're going to get yourself sick...you haven't married a wife yet..."

Peng Boran couldn't help but smile while stroking his hands:

"What does my health have to do with me not having a wife yet?"

"As the ancients said, there are three types of unfilial piety, and the greatest is not having an heir. You haven't left an heir yet... If you really have three advantages and two disadvantages, you will be the unfilial son of your Peng family..."

Xiao Jing said with a smile.

These words made Kuang Meiyun, who was following behind him, flash his eyes.

"Haha, it's a pity, I don't believe in that by nature."

He laughed:

"However, I accepted your kindness... Hey, that's not right, why are there just the two of you? Didn't you say you wanted to bring Jin Changning here with you?"

He went to raise the temperature in the room, and brought a cup of hot water over for her to warm her hands - he knew that she was afraid of the cold, and in the winter, her hands were as cold as popsicles.

After finishing these things, he turned around and saw that there was only one Kuang Meiyun following him outside the box, and he screamed in confusion.

"Can't find it."

She took it and held it with a faint look in her eyes.

"What do you mean if you can't find it?"

He stared and asked, feeling that there was something in her words.

Xiao Jinghuan still felt cold, so she put down the water glass, gathered up her clothes, wrapped her scarf tighter, put her bag on the table, then held up the water glass, and then continued her conversation. :

"The phone was turned off and I couldn't find anyone... He went to the bank in the afternoon. I took a nap. When I woke up, I saw that the male secretary who accompanied him had come back, but he didn't come back. I called him, but he didn't answer. , only sent a text message, just saying..."

After saying this, she hurriedly took out her phone and pulled out the text message to show him:

"It's not convenient to answer the call. After a while, his mobile phone was turned off. So far, he has not contacted me. As for me, I can't contact him. According to Wenzhuo, he was given by Yan Bugui Please go. Lao Peng, have you paid attention to the Yan family’s recent developments?”

Peng Boran frowned and nodded:

"I have people watching every move of everyone in the Yan family. However, they seem to know that I am watching them, and they always find ways to escape the surveillance."

Ha, the other party is so vigilant.

Those people in the Yan family are really not good at all.

"If I asked you to help find Yan Buhui now, would you be able to find him?"

"Well... wait a minute, I have to make a call... I guess if you look for it, you can still find it. I have stepped up my efforts recently... but it will take time..."

He went to get his cell phone, dialed the number, and walked to the window sill.

"Hey, Xiaoqu, right? There's something. You have to check it out for me right away... Yes, right away..."

The cold wind blowing outside was a bit strong, and it quickly dispersed the smell of smoke in the room. He closed the window and explained the matter.

"Xiao Xiao, let's eat something first..."

When Peng Boran turned around, he saw Kuang Meiyun taking the order form to Xiao Jinghuan:

"You didn't eat much for lunch."

"I'm not too hungry now."

"Eat something if you're not too hungry. You have to take care of the little one in your belly, Xiao Xiao, if you think like this, the sky won't fall."

Kuang Meiyun still placed the order form in front of her.

Xiao Jinghuan thought about it and said, "Thank you... Then let's eat first..."

She took it and gave up her position:

"Sit down too and let's order something to eat together."

Kuang Meiyun hesitated for a moment and finally sat down.

Xiao Jinghuan ordered the meal and called the waiter to order it.

Peng Boran sat across from them.

"Lao Peng, you told me before that Changning hid things from me, right... tell me, what are they?"

Xiao Jinghuan made herself comfortable and laid out her intentions.

"Didn't you say before that you didn't want to hear it?"

"This time, that time."

She couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Peng Boran smiled and said deeply:

"What's wrong? Because Jin Changning disappeared again, so you just..."

"It's not because of this."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by her.

"Is that because something happened to make you change your mind?"

"Oh, how should I put it..."

Xiao Jinghuan found that both Peng Boran and Kuang Meiyun were looking at her, and she was a little hesitant to say that this was a "family scandal"... Well, it seems a bit excessive to say this, but it is still an unpleasant thing...

After much consideration, she decided to say:

"Let me show you something!"

She took her phone over, pulled out the photos she had received before, and showed him:

"Chang Ning lost contact twice before.

"When we lost contact for the first time, his mobile phone was broken. These photos were taken at that time. I don't recognize the girl above. He was in Taiwan at that time. I couldn't find him.

"This is the second time we lost contact. On the day Bai Congcong's body was found, he lost contact all afternoon. The photos were all taken at that time. You and I were investigating the case together at that time.

"At noon of the same day, I saw him and Huo Sisi together, but when he went out early in the morning, he only told me that he was going to meet his classmates. After returning home, he admitted that he had gone to see Huo Sisi. Because he was afraid that I would have random thoughts, You didn't explain it clearly to me.

"Oh, by the way, one thing I think I should explain is that Huo Sisi is Yan Buhui's cousin and has liked Jin Changning for many years. She committed suicide for Changning in Taiwan before.

“So, it makes sense for him to hide it from me.

"However, at the time, I felt like he was hiding something else from me. Seeing these photos, I understood. It was true."

When she said this, she looked unusually calm.

"In other words: Jin Changning cheated?"

Peng Boran stared, expressing a fact reflected on the surface.

"Just from the surface, it seems so."

She took a sip of hot water without showing the slightest hint of anger, and even had a faint and strange smile:

“Actually, I’m more curious about who took this photo.

“People’s first reaction would definitely be that the girl in the photo took it.

"But I don't think so. It couldn't have been sent to me by this girl.

“Here is a text message for you to refer to.

"That tone can show that the person who sent the text message is a third party who recognizes the two people in the photo. Moreover, this person also recognizes me.

"If a third party took these photos to target me, it would be difficult to conclude that this was an act of cheating.

"Maybe you think my logic doesn't make sense.

"That's because I always believe in one thing, that is, I never thought Changning would cheat."

In the last sentence, she used an emphatic tone and revealed a hint of conviction.

"Why do you think he didn't cheat?"

Peng Boran asked with interest.

"We grew up together until now. I can trust his character."

If Jin Changning heard this, he would be very moved!

Peng Boran raised his thick eyebrows unconsciously. While handing the phone back, he pondered and asked:

"A Xiao, I want to ask you something: In your opinion, will the human heart and human nature be influenced by certain people or things and change unknowingly? So that it becomes alien to us, completely alien to us. Like a different person?"
