Contract Bride, the power game of misplaced love

Li Zhijian was so frightened that he trembled and the bowl in his hand fell to the ground.

Ping's mother shuddered with fear, but she plucked up the courage to take one.

Jiang Zhiyan walked over to Ping's mother, overturned her bowl, and said angrily, "I told you to snatch it from me. Look, I haven't eaten yet, but you two have eaten first.

Li Zhijian was a little guilty at first, but when he saw Jiang Zhiyan smash Pingma's bowl, he bravely stood up and said, "Jiang Jie is angry. I didn't know you didn't want dumplings, so I asked her to make them for you."

Jiang Zhiyan glared at her unhappily, "Who do you think you are?"

Li Zhijian avoided her gaze and said defensively, "It won't happen again."

Jiang Zhiyan kicked Ping's mother to the ground and laughed unscrupulously: "Li Zhijian, are you going to protect her?"

Li Zhijian stamped her feet in anger and said angrily, "Sister Jiang, if you want to get angry, take it out on me."

Ping's mother said softly, "It's okay. It's all my fault. I should have told her in advance."

Seeing that the food was ready, Jiang Zhiyan stopped forcing them and said, "Go get busy and clean the room. Make sure there is no dust in the room."

After saying that, Jiang Zhiyan turned and left.

Li Zhijian pulled Ping's mother up from the ground and said apologetically, "Ping's mother, I was wrong."

"It's okay." Ping's mother shook her head.

Li Zhijian sighed and asked, "Mother Ping, how many years have you been here?"

Ping's mother thought for a moment and said, "It should have been several years."

“Hey, can you hold back Sister Jiang’s temper?”

Ping's mother shook her head, looking helpless: "How can I tolerate this? I am forced to do this. I am not well educated. I am old and I can do nothing but serve others."

The more this happened, the more Li Zhijian felt that this was not a good place.

"One day, I will leave here."

Ping's mother quickly replied, "Well, if I were your age, I would have run away long ago to save me from being bullied here."

The two of them chatted with each other.

Breakfast was ready quickly, and Ping's mother said she would bring breakfast to Jiang Zhiyan's bedroom.

Li Zhijian didn't want to meet Jiang Zhiyan in the first place, but now that she said that, she agreed: "Okay."

Ping's mother said to Li Zhijian again, "Just clean it up. We don't need to stay here anymore. The master doesn't want to see you doing nothing like this."

"Okay." Li Zhijian nodded.

Ping's mother said worriedly, "Okay, you don't have to clean your bedroom, the rest is up to you."

Li Zhijian gave Ping's mother a look of gratitude. Jiang Zhiyan had also instructed her not to touch Xiao Yuheng's bedroom.

She didn't want to go at all, so it was better not to go.

The two chatted for a few more words before they separated.

Li Zhijian first cleaned the yard, and then cleaned the other rooms, first using a wet mop and then using a dry mop.

Just then, her phone rang.

I picked up the phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

Li Zhijian hesitated for a moment and finally answered the call.

An old voice said, "Meng Leshan, I know."

Li Zhijian was shocked. She had never expected that her newspaper could play such a big role. She asked excitedly, "Where are the people?"

"I'm in City D."

"Where is Meng Leshan?" Li Zhijian leaned close to the window and asked in a low voice.

"I can say it, but what can I get?"

Li Zhijian said quickly: "My missing person notice said that as long as you provide more information, you can get more rewards."

"Okay, I'll tell you, but you have to give me the money before I can give you an answer."

Li Zhijian suddenly realized that he had said something wrong. He had been talking about silver and didn't seem to know Meng Leshan.

"You do not want?"

Li Zhijian didn't want to take the risk. She was afraid of missing any clues, so she quickly said, "Then I'll wait and see what you do."

"Okay, but don't keep us waiting."

Li Zhijian immediately promised: "I will contact you right away."

"good.".

The person on the other end hung up after saying that.

With a "beep" sound, Li Zhijian was stunned for a long time before recovering from the shock.

How is Meng Leshan? Is he okay?

If she really found out, she would inform Aunt Sun immediately. She originally planned to tell Aunt Sun right away, but she was a little hesitant and decided to meet with her first.

After some ideological struggle, Li Zhijian finally chose to ask Jiang Zhiyan for leave, and then bravely went to Jiang Zhiyan's room.

When she reached the door, she hesitated for a moment, then walked back.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Zhiyan cleared her throat.

Li Zhijian hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister Jiang, I'll leave now."

"Then what?"

“I guess there’s no way to go back.”

Jiang Zhiyan looked her up and down, becoming more and more disgusted, and asked in a cold tone: "What is it that you care so much about?"

Li Zhijian hesitated, "A neighbor of mine asked me to go see his son, and we found some clues there."

"Is it?"

"Yeah, he's about my age."

"Childhood friend?"

Li Zhijian nodded indifferently, "Okay, I guess so."

Jiang Zhiyan paused and compromised: "Okay, you must go back tomorrow."

When Li Zhijian heard her say this, he was very happy and said repeatedly, "Thank you very much, Sister Jiang."

After saying that, she was about to leave, but bumped into Ping's mother.

Jiang Zhiyan rolled her eyes and said unhappily, “Look at your furry appearance, like a little lover.”

Li Zhijian quickly pulled Ping's mother up and asked awkwardly, "Ping's mother, did I bump into you?"

Ping's mother stroked her body gently and said calmly, "It's okay."

Jiang Zhiyan taunted, "Ping's mother, I'll trouble you. Li Zhijian needs to meet her childhood friend."

"Well, thank you, Ping's mother." Li Zhijian said with a smile.

Just as she was about to leave, Jiang Zhiyan suddenly spoke up: "Li Zhijian, what is your childhood friend's name?"

"Meng Leshan." Li Zhijian said without hesitation.

Jiang Zhiyan waved her hand: "Well, I understand."

After Li Zhijian came out of Yunlin Villa, she went straight home. She wanted to get some money. If what that person said was true or false, then she would have to pay some money.

After returning home, Li Zhijian saw his house again, which was a mess.

The apple on the table was gone, leaving only a core.

Could it be a thief?
