Chapter 46 Chapter Forty-Six

"So what!" Qiu Wenxin yelled frantically, as if the last fig leaf had been torn off, "The scandalous things you have done are disgraceful and shameless! You are allowed to do them, and I am not allowed to report them?!" Li Weilian shook his head, his dry eyes suddenly turned red: "I would like to think of you as just not thinking carefully, your goal is me, you want to destroy me! Your mother brought a great blow, and in the end, in the end... Qiu Wenxin, you buried your mother with your own hands, you deprived her of happiness, and made her choose to commit suicide in despair!... You are also condemned by your conscience. Condemn, I have to take care of my mother with dementia for more than 20 years, and have no chance to enjoy a normal life at all, all these misfortunes are caused by you!"

"No! No!" Qiu Wenxin burst into tears, "It's your fault, me, my father, and sister, we are all victims, Wen Yue and I, our lives were ruined in your hands ..." Li Weilian interrupted her without hesitation: "It was you who tried to ruin my life! It's a pity that you were too self-indulgent, and you hurt yourself instead! Qiu Wenxin, you did cause me to lose my chance to take the college entrance examination, but you didn't Gan Yi, you really couldn't wait to put me to death... so you did another thing shortly afterwards - even more despicable and shameless malicious slander!"

"Weilian...Wenxin...what are you guys arguing about?" A timid question came from the darkness behind the shop, and Qiu Wenyue staggered into the dim light circle. Qiu Wenxin seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and jumped up from his seat: "Sister, it's him, it's him! As soon as Mama passed away, he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, and wanted to settle the score with us. He, he wanted to force me to death !" "Ah? Weilian, you?" Qiu Wenyue stared blankly at Li Weilian, her face was a little swollen from sadness and fatigue. Li Weilian said in a slightly gentle tone: "Wen Yue, you came just in time, sit down." He glanced at Qiu Wenxin again, "What's the hurry, you won't be able to leave until you finish what you have to say today."

The yellow halo flickered, looking like it was about to die.Li Weilian pressed his forehead heavily, and his voice was quite hoarse when he spoke again: "This matter must be told to both of you at the same time—it is Qiu Wenyue's perjury. Wenyue, I know it's not you, right? The person who falsely accused the police of the police station that I put out the gas and killed Yuan Bohan is not you but her!" The twin sisters looked at each other, as if they looked in a mirror, they were haggard, dejected and desperate. "My mother was shocked and frightened when she found out about your behavior, so she hurriedly took Wen Yue to the police station to clear up the situation. From then on, she guessed that you were the one who wrote the anonymous letter. She felt sorry for me and felt even more guilty. She hasn't come to me for three years, so we lost our last chance..."

Li Weilian leaned back on the back of the chair, stared at the dark mid-air for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "It's mother and daughter after all, you three have been hiding it from me for so many years. Well, as long as Huiru lives , I will bear it for a day... Now that she is gone, I can explain it to you!" Qiu Wenyue begged with tears: "Wei Lian, for the sake of the dead mother, you just, just..." Li Weilian cast his cold and shining eyes on them: "I don't want to pursue further, but Qiu Wenxin, you have to answer me a question - what did you see that day? What else do you know about Yuan Bohan's death?! Said !"

"I didn't see anything!" Qiu Wenxin cried while holding his face. "Weilian..." Qiu Wenyue also burst into tears, and stretched out his hands tremblingly towards Li Weilian. Li Weilian sighed long and closed his eyes. After a long time, the crying of the two women gradually subsided.Qiu Wenyue stood up and went around to Li Weilian: "Weilian, you are very tired, do you want to go to sleep for a while?" Li Weilian shook his head, motioning for Qiu Wenyue to sit beside him. "Wen Yue, after all these years, the two sisters have managed to make some money, right?"

"Ah? Make money?" Qiu Wenyue opened her mouth stupidly, and Qiu Wenxin rushed to speak, "No money! What kind of money can such a shabby shop make? It keeps giving you money for your entertainment..." "Pay money to me?" Li Weilian sneered, "Qiu Wenxin, don't forget what I do. I can estimate the expenses and income of running this store without looking at the accounts. Not to mention the two renovations before and after. All the money is paid by me, the house is your own, and you don’t need to pay rent. Over the past ten years, you have accumulated at least several million net profits.”

"That, that's all our sister's hard-earned money!" Qiu Wenxin's voice trembled nervously, "What do you want to do?" "Where's the money?" "You... you can't control this!" "Oh?" Li Weilian slightly raised his eyebrows, "At least as an investor, I have the right to demand the return of the principal and interest." Qiu Wenxin was even more flustered: "What principal? What interest? You, you didn't say anything when you gave the money..." Li Weilian interrupted her sharply: "Just answer me, where is the money at home?!"

"Weilian," Qiu Wenyue, who had been snuggling beside him all this time, timidly grabbed his arm and said, "Weilian, we just bought a new house in Xinzhuang the year before last. It's too old, and there are still shops open. , we will definitely not be able to live here when we are old.” Li Weilian hugged her lightly: "So that's right..." He raised his eyes, and smiled faintly at Qiu Wenxin: "It must be your idea, it was well planned." Qiu Wenxin was a little overwhelmed: "It takes a lot of money to do things for... Mommy." Li Weilian ignored her, and turned to Qiu Wenyue: "You will soon inherit a large inheritance, which can also be said to be a large legacy."

The two sisters froze together. Li Weilian said bluntly: "There is a property under Huiru's name, which will be inherited by you and your sisters according to the law after her death. But this property does not belong to you, it belongs to me! I have already contacted the lawyer, and at ten this morning It will be one o'clock, and you will sign a document immediately to clarify the ownership of this property." "What real estate?" Qiu Wenxin asked. He only said two words: "Yi Yuan." They gasped at the same time. There was an eerie silence in the shop.Outside the frosted glass window, some white light came in faintly, indicating that dawn was coming.

"What if...we don't sign?" Qiu Wenxin broke the silence. Li Weilian answered very easily: "Then you will have to bear the remaining 7 million in loans. Maybe you won't have to move to the new house you plan to retire to. If you sell your twin sisters, you can barely make up for it." "That's impossible! We still need to rely on 'Shuangmei' for food!" The half-joking and half-contemptuous eyes appeared again, and Li Weilian hugged Qiu Wenyue even tighter: "It's good to know, so let's sign it. Wen Xin, you have been against me since you were a teenager, and the gains outweigh the losses. , why don't you change your strategy this time? Maybe you and I can try for mutual benefit?" Qiu Wenxin lowered his head and remained silent. Qiu Wenyue gently stroked Li Weilian's waist: "Weilian, then you have to pay seven million?" "Anyway, he has plenty of money!" Qiu Wenxin said viciously. Li Weilian stared at her quietly: "You overestimate me... I need your help with a small matter." He pointed to the opposite wall, where there was a faint light from the darkness: "I hung this oil painting. Please send it to the gallery for me. They will accept it. Don't sell it for less than two million." "Are you sure you can exceed two million?" "If it wasn't for the financial crisis, it would have been possible to get four million. Now I can't control that much... I only want two million, and the extra money is yours." Qiu Wenxin snorted: "Forget it, are you planning to leave nothing behind on Muma's matter?" "Wen Xin!" Qiu Wenyue yelled, "Don't force her any more." Li Weilian let go of Qiu Wenyue in his arms, took off the watch from his left wrist and put it on the table: "I heard that some wealthy bosses often come to the scene with their sisters to support you. Find someone who knows the goods. This is a limited edition Rolex, worth at least 20." Wan... is that enough?" Qiu Wenxin picked up the gold watch and left. Qiu Wenyue snuggled into Li Weilian's arms again.The light coming in through the window is getting brighter and brighter, shining on the two haggard faces.She asked him in a low voice: "Wen Xin has banknotes in her hand, why do you give her a gold watch to sell?" "She won't sell it." Li Weilian stroked Qiu Wenyue's hair, "She is a money-hungry miser and a miser, she will hide that watch, and take it out every once in a while to have a look and wipe it... "He smiled softly, with endless sadness in his smile: "Actually, she is right, the more you store this kind of thing, the more valuable it becomes." Qiu Wenyue was even more confused: "Don't you still need the money yourself? Why hide it for her?" "Let's keep her a souvenir, commemorate our conversation just now, a very successful negotiation. I have given you many gifts since I was a child, and I will give her one this time." They looked at each other with wry smiles. In order to keep Qiu Wenyue from disturbing himself and Yin Huiru, Li Weilian used the little things his parents left at home to bribe her throughout middle school. After returning to Shanghai, he often gave her various gifts, which almost became a habit. After a while, Li Weilian said again: "After all, Wen Xin has taken care of your mother for more than 20 years with all her heart. I should thank her." "Weilian," tears flashed in Qiu Wenyue's eyes, "Mother must have recognized you at the last moment, I saw it, she seemed to want to say something to you..." "Really? Maybe... Wen Yue, from now on, you two sisters will depend on each other for life. Fortunately, Wen Xin is in charge of the house. If you were alone, I'm worried that you will be deceived." Qiu Wenyue looked at Li Weilian suspiciously, his face was extremely calm with exhaustion, she suddenly felt cold all over her body: "Weilian, you, you won't abandon us, will you? You don't plan to take care of us anymore? Ah?! Willian!" He replied gently: "Of course not, as long as I live I will not abandon you, don't worry." In the faint morning light, the leaves of the sycamore trees swayed with the breeze, and the early sanitation workers cleaned the streets.It rained all night and didn't stop until early in the morning. The road was still wet, and there was a fresh and bright fragrance in the air, but the temperature began to rise rapidly. It was summer after all.
