The Big Shot is Also Crazy About Me Today

Chapter 1280 - 1196: Nuannuan’s Identity (2)

A fifty-one-year-old man getting married and having children is not that strange.

What surprised him was only that he got married and had children, unexpectedly, in T City!

Liao Qinghe took a breath before speaking: "When Zhou Hui was twenty-two, she was almost gang-raped, but was rescued by Xue Mobei. Her father passed away early, and she lived with her mother. That year, her mother suddenly fell ill and needed surgery costing 130,000 yuan. Forced by circumstances, she had to work at a bar serving drinks. That place was chaotic, you understand..."

Song Yansheng raised an eyebrow, indicating for Liao Qinghe to continue.

"After Zhou Hui was rescued by Xue Mobei, he sent her home and left. She thought she would never meet him again, but unexpectedly, three days later Xue Mobei came to find her and gave her 150,000 yuan, helping her mother undergo the surgery. Zhou Hui was grateful to him and wanted to offer herself to him but was rejected by Xue Mobei...

At that time, Xue Mobei was already over forty, eighteen years older than Zhou Hui. Zhou Hui guessed he probably had a wife and children, felt very downcast, but because of his rejection, she became infatuated with Xue Mobei and couldn’t help herself! After that, Xue Mobei disappeared again. Zhou Hui didn’t have his contact information and didn’t know where he lived, but she always felt that he would appear again...

Zhou Hui waited for two and a half months, during which her mother’s health improved, and she returned home. At that time, Zhou Hui planned to go back to normal life, find a decent job, earn money, take care of her mother, and repay the money to Xue Mobei. That day, she went to the bar to quit, but unexpectedly met Xue Mobei there again...

What surprised her even more was that Xue Mobei gave her a contract at that time. He purchased 40% of the bar’s shares in Zhou Hui’s name. Zhou Hui then became one of the owners of this bar, which underwent several changes in subsequent years, and Zhou Hui gradually became the largest shareholder. Four years later, Zhou Hui officially renamed the bar: Shangmo!"

Song Yansheng smiled faintly and asked: "So, Mr. Liao wants to tell me that the bar called Shangmo is actually Xue Mobei’s?"

"At least in Zhou Hui’s eyes, that’s indeed the case. Zhou Hui learned bartending and management to improve the bar’s business, not because she had great ambition but rather to repay the kindness Xue Mobei gave her. However, in the many years that followed, Zhou Hui seldom saw Xue Mobei, and even very rarely. The longest gap was about five years without seeing Xue Mobei..."

"So what’s this recent story about her attending a banquet with Xue Mobei?"

Liao Qinghe said: "Zhou Hui said she didn’t know about it. Xue Mobei suddenly had someone contact her and asked her to accompany him to a banquet. Before this, Zhou Hui hadn’t seen Xue Mobei for a year and a half. She didn’t know the purpose of Xue Mobei attending the banquet, but she said: As long as it’s what Xue Mobei asked her to do, even if it’s to die, she would not hesitate... Such a foolish woman!"

Song Yansheng laughed again: "It seems that Mr. Liao hasn’t managed to get any useful information, hasn’t he?"

Between the lines, this information is insufficient for him to disclose the identity of Xue Mobei’s wife and daughter to him.

Liao Qinghe faintly curled his lips, raised an eyebrow, and said: "Of course! What I’m about to say next is the real information to exchange with Mr. Song: Zhou Hui said, at the banquet that night, most people didn’t recognize Xue Mobei, only heard he was a foreign investor. But there were two people who acted unusually upon seeing Xue Mobei, and coincidentally, Mr. Song knows, or even is quite close to these two people..."

Song Yansheng squinted slightly and asked: "Who?"

"Mr. Song’s cousin-in-law Liang Yue’e, and Mr. Song’s newly appointed father-in-law Shi Yuanbo’s new wife, Li Guirong!"

Song Yansheng was stunned for a moment, surprised they were the two.

Taking a breath, he said: "So the so-called exchange of information is actually asking me to help you investigate the relationship between them and Xue Mobei?"

Liao Qinghe raised an eyebrow: "Mr. Song is indeed smart. But Mr. Song needn’t feel disadvantaged; I know that currently, Mr. Song probably wants to find out everything about Xue Mobei even more than I do, right?"

...

That day, after Shi Nuan got off work and went downstairs, she was surprised not to see Song Yansheng’s car.

She picked up her phone, but there were no messages or calls from Song Yansheng; had he forgotten?

Or was he very busy?

Shi Nuan considered calling Song Yansheng but was afraid of interrupting his work.

Oh well, she’ll just take a cab home herself, it’s not the first time she’s taken a cab.
