On the night of the first day of the new year, Tan Ron and Zhuang Liu arranged to meet. After exchanging gifts, they went to the restaurant they had booked.
âHe Xi didnât die.â Zhuang Liu told Tan Rou, âSheâs really tough. Even though she was hit by a car and broke three ribs, she didnât die.â
Tan Rou said, âIt doesnât matter whether He Xi dies or not. The key now is to deal with your second uncle and second aunt. Are they divorced?â
Zhuang Liu nodded. âIâve sent someone to investigate today. They dissolved their marriage as soon as they returned to the country. They must have been prepared long ago.â
Tan Rou sneered. âYour second uncle and second aunt are much smarter than your third uncle. Not only do they know how to avoid risks, but they also know how to use their connections to earn money for themselves. Theyâre very capable.â
âThey fought last night. Han Min did leave with her luggage, but I donât know if she did it on purpose for us to see,â said Zhuang Liu.
âLetâs test them. See if theyâre still in contact,â Tan Rou suggested.
Zhuang Liu would test the waters. âLetâs start with that charity organization. Without their cooperation, weâll see if any fools would invest in it.â
After dinner, Tan Rou planned to watch a movie. Just as she took out her phone, it rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
Tan Rou didnât want to answer the call, so she hung up. Unexpectedly, the other party was very persistent. She had just hung up the phone when the other party called.
âDo you have anything important to deal with?â Zhuang Liu asked when he heard the phone ring.
Tan Rou replied, âI donât have anything important to deal with. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. I pushed all my work aside and gave myself a holiday. Besides, I also said that Iâm going out with you today. My family definitely wonât contact me. Even if they want to contact me, they wonât use a new number.â
âThen donât answer this call.â Zhuang Liu judged, âThere are more phone scams during the festive season. Usually, unfamiliar numbers like this are used to promote things. They wonât call you anymore after hanging up twice.â
Tan Rou hung up the phone again, but the other party still kept calling. This made her a little confused. Could it be that someone had something urgent to look for her?
Zhuang Liu also felt that he had to answer it. âRourou, answer the phone. Iâll wait for you in the car.â
âWhat other secrets do we have between us?â Tan Rou asked with a smile. She picked up the phone in front of Zhuang Liu and pressed the speaker button. âHello, who are you? Whatâs the matter?â
The other party was silent for a few seconds, then said in a hoarse voice, âXiao Rou, itâs me.â
Tan Rou wanted to hang up the moment she heard his voice, but she still wanted to know why Ying Xian called her on New Yearâs Eve. He couldnât possibly be calling her to wish her a happy new year, right?
âWhy are you looking for me? If itâs because of Liu Xingâs matter, you donât have to say it.â Tan Rou said.
Ying Xian was afraid that Tan Rou would hang up the phone. He immediately said quickly, âI want to see you. Thereâs something I want to tell you. Can you come out? Iâm at your door.â
âIâm not free!â Tan Rou immediately hung up.
âDoes he really have something to discuss with you?â Zhuang Liu pondered after hearing Ying Xianâs words.
âThereâs nothing to talk about between him and me. If he calls now, it will only annoy me more. Iâve already found all the evidence I need. Even if he wanted to sell Liu Xing out, he wouldnât have the chance.â Tan Rou said with disdain.
âWe donât have to worry about him. The movie is about to start, letâs go in and watch it.â
Zhuang Liu smiled and held Tan Ronâs hand as they walked into the cinema.
The weather on the first day of the new year was not the best. It was cloudy early in the morning, which was not a good sign. However, even though the weather was bad, it did not affect the people who went out. Even if they held umbrellas and had to walk under the rain, they would still come out to play.
Not long after Tan Rou and the others entered the cinema, it started raining. They wouldnât be affected in the cinema, but some people were unlucky.
Ying Xian leaned against a wall in the Tao familyâs manor, relying on the flower rack on the wall to block the rain. When he went out in the afternoon, he wanted to bring an umbrella. However, as he was entertaining a call from their debt collector, he completely forgot about it.
He would usually drive when he went out, but recently, his car could not be driven out of the garage at all. As soon as his car appeared, it would be surrounded by reporters and he could not leave..
