Chapter 1685 - Investigation
That night, Duan Shu Xian could no longer sleep. Tomorrow was Friday, and she would not see him. This made her feel relieved.
Sure enough, Xi Jingchen did not appear at school. He only sent a text message to her, asking if she had breakfast on time. Duan Shu Xian chatted for a bit, then said that she was busy with work, so he did not disturb her.
But Duan Shu Xian was really free, so free that she spent most of her time in a daze, unable to even read the information given to her by her father. Right now, her mind was filled with Xi Jingchen, his figure occupied all the positions in her heart.
Sat.u.r.day night, in the evening, in a coffee shop, Duan Shumin found a good friend of hers. She asked him out to eat, and coincidentally, this friend of hers was doing investigation work.
"Min Min, treat me to a meal. Is there anything you need my help with?" This friend here was extremely clear of her personality. Duan Shumin would never do anything unnecessary, she would always do things with a clear goal in mind.
Duan Shumin nodded his head, "Yes, I have something that I want you to help me with, and I also want you to keep it a secret.
"Yo!" Forget it, for the sake of our relations.h.i.+p, a normal fee would do. Just tell me, what do you need me to investigate? " "Yes," a woman wearing a neutral outfit with short hair answered straightforwardly. I want you to take a few pictures of me. They"re pictures of my cousin and a man. It"s best if you can get a picture of them kissing. The more honey, the better. " When Duan Shumin said this, it was as if her eyes were discussing someone she hated …
Not her cousin.
The woman in front was called Xie Juan. She was Duan Shumin"s high school friend and normally, they were two people who were close to each other.
"Your cousin!" Why do you want me to spy on her? Doesn"t your family like her boyfriend? " Xie Juan immediately guessed and asked.
Duan Shumin restrained the resentment in her eyes and laughed, "Right, my uncle and aunt asked me to check on their relations.h.i.+p, you must definitely help me out this time."
"Don"t worry!" Tell me where they always go, and I promise I"ll catch the picture you"re most satisfied with. " Xie Juan was an expert in secretly taking photos in this area.
"My cousin works in a library at the university. The man with her is a university teacher. He has cla.s.ses on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
"Give me the picture." Duan Shumin placed the two photos she prepared in front of her. When Xie Juan saw the pictures, her eyes lit up, "Wa! Your family members are all of high beauty! And this male teacher was also a rare handsome guy! However, it looked pretty right.
"Yah!"
When Duan Shumin heard that, her face instantly became gloomy and resentful. She sneered, "Where"s the time for that? I didn"t notice. "
Xie Juan immediately looked at her in surprise. She laughed, "Alright, I am also someone who does things with money, so I won"t ask carelessly. Fine, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer after this week ends." After finis.h.i.+ng her meal with Xie Juan, when Duan Shumin returned home, she heard his parents discussing about this Monday"s feast, as they prepared to buy some seafood to cook. After hearing this, Duan Shumin"s heart was filled with resentment, "Dad, mom, don"t mention it this week!
It"s a family banquet and it"s held every week, so it"s not exactly the same as this week. "
"What is it? "Did you have anything to do that night?" Song Meilan asked her.
"Hm!" If you want to hold it, then I won"t be coming back. I have something to do. " Duan Shumin said as she unhappily walked towards the second floor.
Duan Deliang and his wife looked at each other behind his, not knowing what had caused their daughter to be in a bad mood. Fine! If you don"t do it this week, then don"t! Call Deming and tell him we"re all busy and invite him again next week. "
"Alright!" Hearing his wife"s words, Song Meilan immediately followed her upstairs and knocked on Duan Shumin"s closed door, "Min Min, can mother come in?"
"Come in!" Duan Shumin replied.
Song Meilan pushed the door and entered. Seeing that her daughter was not happy, she asked curiously, "Why did you not go home to sleep last night? "Where did you go?"
"I slept in the hotel."
"Was it a job that didn"t win, or something unpleasant?" Song Meilan asked in concern.
Duan Shumin suddenly thought of something, she turned and looked at her mother and asked, "Mom, what do you think about Su Xian?"
"Shu Xian?" Why did you suddenly mention her! " Song Meilan could not help but be shocked.
"Compared to her, whose conditions are better?" Duan Shumin wanted to obtain the confirmation from her mother.
Song Meilan immediately said with certainty in her eyes, "Of course it"s you! "Since she was young, she"s always been ordinary, but I"ve never seen anything outstanding about her. Other than her looks, she"s never been as good as you in terms of ability."
Song Meilan praised her daughter. She could praise her for three days and three nights, because she was indeed extremely proud of her daughter.
Duan Shumin"s heart was comforted by this, and her eyes regained her confidence, "Mom, you"re right! I"m stronger than her. "
Song Meilan asked her curiously: "What"s wrong? Did you hear anything from somewhere? "How can they be compared with Shu Xian?"
Duan Shumin did not want to talk about this matter right now, and furthermore, she did not want Duan Shu Xian to take Xi Jingchen away. She needed evidence to prove the insidious matter that she had done. "When she has evidence, she will reveal her true ident.i.ty to the whole family." Even your brother is not as good as you. Even though he is worth a lot, but our family values you more in the circle …
"Right."
"I saw my big brother in the magazine again. He was ranked one of the top ten most influential people in the business world. You should be proud of him, too." Duan Shumin did not want to s.n.a.t.c.h the limelight from his dear brother.
"Your brother is promising, but your grandfather doesn"t care about him. Right now, all of us are waiting for the day you become our Duan Clan"s most honoured moment."
Duan Shumin"s eyes flashed with determination, "I will definitely do that."
In the blink of an eye, Monday had pa.s.sed and the feast this time was cancelled. Duan Shu Xian heaved a sigh of relief, because she didn"t know how to face her big uncle"s family, even though they didn"t know how close she and Xi Jingchen were.
But there was guilt and guilt in her heart.
Tomorrow was Tuesday, and he would be coming to school. Duan Shu Xian"s heart was filled with antic.i.p.ation.
After receiving Duan Shumin"s request, Xie Juan had immediately made Duan Shuxian her latest target, and she would first come to school to record Duan Shuxian"s lifestyle.
Xie Juan possessed her secret filming skills, so she silently recorded Duan Shu Xian"s day of life and expression.
On Tuesday, Duan Shu Xian went to school in her father"s car. When Duan Deming got off the car, he didn"t forget to remind her to keep her distance from Xi Jingchen.
Duan Shu Xian earnestly agreed to her father"s request, because her heart became calmer. Sometimes, one doesn"t have to be together even if they love each other. All she had to do was silently pay attention and love him.
When Duan Shu Xian got off the car, Xie Juan pointed her camera at her and took a picture of her expression.
Xie Juan did not leave the car park. She knew that she could wait here for the young teacher who never showed up.
Indeed, at around half past eight, a line of four black sedans drove in from the outside of the car park. Xie Juan was surprised for a moment, but she only needed to find Xi Jingchen and sure enough, he got out from one of the cars. From the pictures that Duan Shumin provided, she could tell that this young teacher had an extraordinary bearing. However, the moment he stepped out of the car, she wore a black suit from top to bottom, accentuating his tall and straight body, making him look extremely n.o.ble.
He held a few books in one hand and a gray bag in the other.
Xie Juan waited until he left before she got out of the car. Her camera was not used for stealing photos. Xie Juan dressed like a school staff member, she had perfectly blended into the crowd of students, she looked at the dazzling figure in the crowd at a moderate pace, and was pleasantly surprised to discover that the direction Xi Jingchen was heading towards the direction of the library …
Was he going to find Duan Shu Xian? Xie Juan immediately followed suit. She was walking in a group of students, at the entrance, she immediately pretended that the phone was ringing. She picked up her phone and picked it up.
Her cell phone was right in front of the counter.
Duan Shu Xian was in the middle of sorting out the books when she suddenly saw a man walking over. Her heart immediately started beating faster. He was here.
Xi Jingchen carried the grey bag that he usually used to deliver coffee and walked in. He smiled at her and said, "Shu Xian, good morning, I brought you coffee and a box of dessert." At the same time, he shook his head and said, "Don"t bring any more for me in the future. I can"t have snacks while I"m working."
