Chapter 1246: The employer
Chapter 1246: The employer
The sky was dark, and dark clouds covered the sky. At around six or Seveno' clock in the afternoon, it started to rain heavily in A city.
Jing Rui almost thought that he had gone to the wrong place when he entered the living room in the heavy rain.
Who were the two high-watt light bulbs sitting in the living room?
"Brother, you're back! Do you think my new hairstyle looks good? I was walking on the street with second brother today, and the number of heads turned was very high! There are so many handsome guys looking at me. Do you think they've fallen in love with me?"
"It's not good!"Jing Rui said, expressionless.
It would be hard for people to not turn their heads when these two baldies were walking on the street!
Jing Zhi was still very afraid of his brother. He was afraid that Jing Rui would be angry, so he quickly said,""Brother, isn't summer here? I just took Xixi to get a short haircut. Do you want to get a short haircut too?"
Short hair?
If their hair was considered short, could his hair be considered long?
He didn't even have a strand of hair, how could he have short hair!
He even dared to ask him to shave his head. Was he still going to be the president?
He had only been away for a day, and these two were up to no good!
"You two are grounded from tomorrow onwards. Stay at home and don't go anywhere! Until the hair grows back to its original length!"
"Brother, please don 't!" Jing Xi wailed."I didn't know my hair was so long! Do I have to stay at home for years?" I'm going to go crazy, I have to go out and search for all kinds of handsome guys!"
"You're thinking too much. Handsome guys don't like bald heads. Just stay at home!"
Jing Zhi was afraid that he and Jing Xi would die if he continued, so he immediately changed the subject.""Brother, you didn't find Shuyin?"
"I found it."
"Then why didn't you bring her back?"
"Her mother won't let her."
"Her mother?"
At first, Jing Zhi thought that his brother was scolding her, but it took him a while to realize that he was really referring to Shuyin's mother.
"How is this possible? Didn't her mother die a long time ago? Lucas didn't kill him?"
"The truth isn't clear yet. Shuyin stayed there and didn't come back with me because she wanted to find out the whole story."
Shuyin's safety was obviously more important than her younger siblings 'bald heads. Her hair could grow back sooner or later, but what happened to Shuyin made Jing Rui feel uneasy.
"She even has a half-sister. I've checked, and she's the Li family's eldest daughter and the only heir. The Li family originally had more than one child, but in recent years, the rest of the children have died one after another for various reasons. "
"Brother, are you talking about Li Jing?"
Jing Zhi didn't care about anything else. He stopped smiling and his expression became serious.
"Yes!" Jing Rui nodded."That's her!"
Jing Zhi gasped.
The Li family was an ancient family and had been passed down for as long as the Jing family. Of course, that was not the reason why the Li family was famous. The most famous thing about the Li family was that they were very active in having more children and then letting the children kill each other.
The current head of the Li family, Li Wu, used to have 12 brothers and sisters, all of whom were the children of his father's close female friends. Li Wu's mother was the wife who had officially proposed to him. The mother and son were ruthless. They had endured for 10 years and slowly killed Li Wu's children one by one.
In this way, all the assets of the Li family had fallen into the hands of Li Wu alone.
This had caused a huge sensation at that time, but no one could come up with any evidence to prove that those people's deaths were related to Li Wu, so the matter could only be left unsettled.
However, after Li Wu came to power, he was even crazier than his father. He kept women and then had children. He even had two sons who were born on the same day by different women.
Now, Li Jing had made the same mistake and slowly killed her father's other children.
She didn't allow her father's child to threaten her, but could she tolerate her mother's child living in this world?
According to her personality, she would probably kill Shuyin sooner or later.
"How could it be related to the Li family?"
Jing Zhi still couldn't believe it. Wasn't Shuyin an orphan? why did she suddenly have a mother and sister?
Family li was not from A city, but from another city. Although they were not as powerful as family Jing, they were not to be trifled with.
It was rumored that Li Wu loved Li Jing the most and that no matter what she did, she would receive the greatest support. Although he hadn't been out much in recent years, the Li family was still prosperous. Li Jing was able to do whatever she wanted in many places and few people dared to provoke her.
"Is Shuyin going to live with her mother and sister in the future? Brother, you're engaged. You should ask her to come back and live with you!"
Jing Rui rubbed his eyebrows and said,""She knows about the Shucheng mountain incident."
"What?"
Jing Zhi almost jumped out of the sofa.
This secret had been guarded by the two brothers all this time. How could it have been discovered!
He must not have told Shuyin, and Jing Rui would not have told her either. So who told her?
"It was her mother, Jiang Manshu, who told Shuyin."
Jing Rui knew Jing Zhi's confusion, so he gave him the answer before he asked.
"How did her mother know?"
"This is also what I find strange."
Jing Rui had been thinking about this question for a long time. He had been thinking about where the loophole had been. It was not until today, when he saw Jiang Manshu again and felt her hidden hostility, that he finally thought of a possibility.
"Unless, the person who hired Shu Chengshan to kill me with a huge bounty was Jiang Manshu."
Only the employer would know that the hired killer did not complete the task and was killed instead.
Shu Chengshan had once said that he knew a big secret. He knew who the employer was and wanted to use this secret to make Jing Rui marry Shu Yin.
But Jing Rui refused.
Jing Rui only knew that the employer's English name was Cheryl, which was the same as Shuyin 's.
Could it be that Jiang Manshu's English name was the same as her daughter 's?
Jing Zhi had always thought that his relationship with Zheng yuluo was full of ups and downs and that it was already very sad. But when he looked at Jing Rui and Shuyin, he suddenly felt that what had happened between him and Zheng yuluo was just a small matter.
Shuyin's mother paid for it, and her father worked hard to kill Jing Rui. After her father was forced to die by Jing Rui, her mother was still jumping around.
How were they going to live their days!
Shuyin had always been indifferent to her parents. If they had been closer, Shuyin would have probably stabbed Jing Rui!
"Brother, can't you change to another woman? Shuyin was good, but how could she not care about the fact that her father had been killed? Didn't you say before that Shucheng Shan loved Shuyin a lot? I'm afraid that one day ..."
"You're thinking too much. That day won't come. "
"Then why didn't she go home?"
"She'll be home soon!"
