Chapter 1641: Is Zhu Qingrui Dead or Not? 1

Feisu Chinese.

As expected.

Shi Youxuan said, "You lost, pay up!"

The husband and wife had made a bet, with a stake of one hundred yuan.

Sheng Hanyu felt that the mastermind behind the previous internet incident was related to Qi Shishi.

Even if it wasn't her, she couldn't escape involvement.

But Shi Youxuan thought otherwise, so the couple bet one hundred yuan.

A bet is a bet.

He took out one hundred yuan and handed it to his wife, asking, "How are you so certain it has nothing to do with her?"

You have to know, his team is absolutely composed of top-tier talent.

Every single clue, from the very beginning, was unfavorable to Qi Shishi.

Shi Youxuan's answer was simple and blunt: "Intuition."

"Intuition has no scientific basis."

"I don't care, anyway I won."

Sheng Hanyu asked, "Since you knew from the beginning that this matter had nothing to do with Qi Shishi, why separate the two of them?"

Shi Youxuan tapped her husband on the forehead and said without ceremony, "Have you gone stupid from staying in the countryside? Is the water and soil here too nourishing, to the point that your brain has stopped turning?"

"Even if this matter has nothing to do with her, the two of them still cannot be together."

"A family background like Qi Shishi's will be trouble sooner or later; it's better to separate them while they are young. The older they get, the harder it will be to handle!"

"I think it's unlikely, they can't be separated."

"Zirui has already agreed, how could they not be separated?"

We also came from our youth; separating two people who love each other is a very cruel thing.

"Fine, if you have no objections, then let them be together."

Sheng Hanyu flatly refused: "No, I don't agree."

Shi Youxuan:...

"The one who said it was cruel just now was you, and the one who disagrees now is still you. How can you be so double-standard?"

Sheng Hanyu knew he was in the wrong and changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else."

Shi Youxuan pursued it relentlessly: "No, this matter must be made clear. Why the double standard?"

He said, "I'm not being double-standard, it's just that they really aren't suitable. It's hard to explain in a sentence or two, you'll know later."

The couple had no secrets, and Sheng Hanyu did not tell his wife everything he had investigated. It wasn't that he was deliberately hiding it from her, but that the matter was of great importance, and the fewer people who knew right now, the better.

Shi Youxuan was not someone who would pester others either. Since her husband wouldn't say it now, he had his reasons for not saying it.

She asked, "Since the last incident had nothing to do with Qi Shishi, do you think it could be Zhu Qingrui?"

Sheng Hanyu's heart skipped a beat: "That can't be, wasn't it said that Zhu Qingrui was already dead?" After saying this, he also fell silent.

Both of them simultaneously realized a problem—it was said he was dead, but who had seen it?

------------------------------ Shi Youxuan called Nianyin: "How did Zhu Qingrui die?"

There was silence on the other end for a few seconds.

Nianyin's voice was very reluctant: "Big Sister, why did you think of that person out of the blue? Didn't I tell you already? He died quite miserably, so don't ask anymore, lest you have nightmares."

The more she evaded, the more Shi Youxuan felt there was something strange.

"This matter is very important, tell me clearly and don't beat around the bush."

Nianyin: "Big Sister, I'm very busy with this matter right now, it's not something that can be explained in a sentence or two. Wait for me to finish and I'll call you back..."

"Beep, beep, beep—"

A busy signal came from the phone.

It seemed as if she were truly busy.

So Shi Youxuan waited for a whole day, but Nianyin never called her back.

Not only did she not call back, but even when she wanted to find Nianyin, the other party's cell phone was always in a busy state—it wouldn't go through!

You little thing, the monk can run, but can the temple run too?

Shi Youxuan went to find her aunt.

Although her aunt had lost her memory and nothing could be asked of her, it was still no problem to have her issue an order for Nianyin to tell the truth.

Aunt's house.

It was quiet and peaceful.

The yard was planted entirely with melons, fruits, and vegetables that were growing vigorously, arranged entirely according to her father's preferences.

In the past, this was a completely impossible thing.

Her father had always liked planting flowers and vegetables, but her aunt only allowed flowers to be planted, and only bright, eye-catching flowers at that. As for the simple and elegant ones, there wasn't a single one.

Her requirements for flowers were so strict, let alone allowing the home's courtyard to become a vegetable garden.

But now, the courtyard was filled with melons, fruits, vegetables, and orchids blooming faintly.

Shi Yucheng was tinkering with the flowers and plants in the yard and was very happy to see his daughter arrive: "Xuanxuan is here! Why didn't you call before you came? I could have prepared some things you like to eat."

"What are you making? I'll eat whatever it is; I love everything you make."

Shi Yucheng said with a chuckle: "I'm not the one cooking today, let you taste Yingjie's handiwork!"

Shi Youxuan:...

"What?"

She widened her eyes in astonishment and blurted out: "Aunt is cooking, is it edible?"

Her aunt had never stepped foot in the kitchen; the only time she did, it seemed she nearly burned the kitchen down.

Her cooking?

Poisoning someone would be more like it.

Shi Yucheng said affirmatively, "She can. She has improved a lot now; not only can she cook, but it's also very delicious. You'll know in a moment."

"The Ji Family Cuisine your aunt makes tastes especially good, very authentic, no worse than what Zhihao makes..."

When he mentioned his wife, it was all praise, and he couldn't stop complimenting her.

Shi Youxuan's father; her father seemed even younger during this period.

"Dad, you look even younger." She spoke the truth.

Her father smiled and patted her head lightly, his tone doting, yet he spoke words of reproach: "You child, you only know how to say what sounds good. If I get any younger, won't I turn into an old goblin?"

"Come inside quickly, let's talk inside."

The father and daughter talked in the courtyard for a while before walking into the house.

The changes inside were even greater than those outside.

Although it hadn't been renovated, the original style of luxury and magnificence had changed quite a bit.

There was a piano in the living room, and there was even an additional Study.

In the past, their home didn't have a Study; Ji Yingjie didn't like those things, she liked a luxurious reception room.

But now, the reception room had been changed into a Study, and Ji Yingjie was inside accompanying the children as they did their homework.

The fact that she actually had the patience to accompany the children with their homework surprised Shi Youxuan quite a bit.

Shi Youxuan stood at the doorway listening quietly; her aunt was very patient, carefully pointing out mistakes.

She gently taught them the correct writing posture.

Her mother had changed, and consequently, the changes in the children were also not small.

In the past, the household was dominated by women, and the women had the final say.

Shi Ketian's personality had been raised to be a bit soft, always lacking confidence, while Kexin was arrogant and domineering, her word being law.

But now, as she observed quietly, the temperament of the two children had also changed quite a bit; Ketian had gained a bit more masculinity, and Kexin had lost some of her domineering nature!

Just as she was watching, Shi Yucheng finished tidying up his tools and walked over: "Why are you standing here? Go in."

She was just about to say there was no need, not to disturb her younger brother and sister while they were studying.

Shi Yucheng shouted out: "Look who's here!"

With his shout, all three of them discovered that Shi Youxuan had arrived.

Ji Yingjie let the children write on their own and walked out of the Study.
