Song Lan is about to cook and asks Zhu Junqiao.
"I haven't had lunch yet. I received a call from my brother and didn't dare to delay, so I rushed over immediately."
As Zhu Junqiao spoke, her stomach growled twice in perfect harmony.
"I'm not being given any food!"
Zhu Junjie is still angry at Zhu Junqiao for speaking up for Mong Si, his tone carrying a hint of childishness.
"Sister-in-law, my brother is mistreating me!"
Zhu Junqiao is very clever. She knows that only Song Lan can handle Zhu Junjie who is a bit of a blockhead. She immediately looked at Song Lan and said, "He doesn't care about your meal, but I do. You two talk, I'll go cook."
Song Lan Go to the kitchen and start preparing the ingredients.
"Brother, you're really lucky. sister-in-law is capable in both the hall and the kitchen."
"Of course! I have a good eye for these things!"
When it comes to Song Lan, Zhu Junjie's tone and expression are full of pride. He remembered that he didn't bring the marriage certificate today, feeling depressed. "She promised to go get the marriage certificate with me as soon as I was discharged from the hospital. I finally waited for this day, but because all the documents are in Mong Si's hands, the matter has to be postponed. Just thinking about it makes me angry!" Zhu Junjie grits his teeth when mentioning Mong Si. Zhu Junqiao is afraid that she will say the wrong thing, which will make Zhu Junjie feel uncomfortable, so she chooses to remain silent for the time being.
"Has he been at the company recently?"
"Yeah."
"What about Assistant Hu? Did he fire him? How many people did he fire?"
"He didn't turn on Assistant Hu, Assistant Hu he..."
Zhu Junqiao was very worried when she thought about Assistant Hu's current situation.
She had asked Wei Sheng privately about the possibility of Assistant Hu recovering, and Wei Sheng told her that Assistant Hu was in good condition for recovery, but whether he could wake up was not something he could control.
Wei Sheng said it very plainly - let nature take its course! This is the result that Zhu Junqiao least wants to see. Zhu Junjie has spent a lot of time with Assistant Hu, and they have developed some feelings. Zhu Junqiao is worried that if he hears about Assistant Hu's news, he won't be able to control his emotions and will recklessly go find Mong Si, so she quickly stopped him.
"Assistant Hu What's wrong? Did he resign on his own?"
As soon as this idea came up, Zhu Junjie immediately denied it. He called Assistant Hu, but his phone was off. Over the years, Assistant Hu's number has not changed. If something hadn't happened, he definitely wouldn't have turned off his phone.
Zhu Junjie felt a little uneasy in his heart. He urged Zhu Junqiao, "You should speak up, what exactly happened to him!"
"He... he has taken leave. He said his work state hasn't been good recently, so he's taking leave to adjust."
"Nonsense! He has been working at the company for so long, he has feelings for the company. The company's situation is unstable, he wouldn't take leave to go on a trip!"
On this point, Zhu Junjie is very certain!
"This is his reason for taking leave. As for the real reason, you can ask her in person when he returns to the company." Zhu Junjie kept staring at Zhu Junqiao, who was afraid that he would see through her lies and instinctively avoided his gaze. Seeing this, Zhu Junjie confirmed that she was lying. "Did something happen to Assistant Hu?"
"No... no, don't overthink it!" Zhu Junqiao hurriedly denied. She was afraid she couldn't handle it, and quickly looked towards the kitchen, hoping that at this moment, Song Lan could come out from the kitchen and help her.
Seeing her like this, he became more certain of his guess.
He felt anxious. Assistant Hu had been with him for many years; they had a superior-subordinate relationship at work and were friends in life. Their relationship was good, and although he sometimes lost his temper with Assistant Hu, it did not affect their friendship at all.
He couldn't contact Assistant Hu, and feeling uneasy, he got up by holding onto the armrest of the sofa and walked toward the living room door.
"Brother, where are you going?"
Zhu Junqiao hurriedly put down the cup and got up to follow.
"If you don't tell me the truth, I can go to the company and ask."
The company has so many employees; he just doesn't believe that everyone is deceiving him!
"Brother, I haven't hidden anything from you. Assistant Hu is fine!"
"As long as you can contact him, I will believe that you are not lying to me."
Otherwise, forget it!
Zhu Junjie didn't stop walking.
Song Lan heard the movement and hurried out of the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, please persuade my brother. He can't get in touch with Assistant Hu and wants to go find him."
Zhu Junqiao couldn't stop Zhu Junjie and could only place her hopes on Song Lan.
Just as Song Lan was about to speak, Zhu Junjie, who was already holding the doorknob, turned around and looked at her, "Are you trying to deceive me too?"
Song Lan's lips moved slightly, but before he could speak, Zhu Junjie said with disappointment, "During the time I was imprisoned and hospitalized, something must have happened that I don't know about. You must have hidden it from me under the pretense of looking out for my well-being."
Zhu Junjie spoke with certainty, "Now that I have been discharged from the hospital, even if you don't tell me, I can investigate on my own."
Although Mong Si was active in public under his identity, he was not alone. He had connections that even Mong Si was unaware of, making it not difficult to look into a matter.
Song Lan saw Zhu Junjie and made up her mind, realizing that the situation could no longer be hidden. She looked at Zhu Junjie's thin figure with some concern. "Assistant Hu fell down the stairs a while ago and is now receiving treatment in the hospital. We kept it from you because we were worried that you would be concerned about him since you were injured."
"The truth is more than that."
If Assistant Hu simply fell down the stairs, there is no need for them to conceal it. Besides, Assistant Hu is not a child. Falling down the stairs at most results in a broken arm or leg, which is not a big deal. Although the words were spoken by Song Lan, Zhu Junjie remains skeptical.
"Brother, can I still deceive you? Sister-in-law is cooking, so just relax on the sofa and don't bother her."
Zhu Junqiao stepped forward to support Zhu Junjie, but he avoided her touch.
His actions were resolute, and Zhu Junqiao's hand stiffened slightly.
Song Lan looked at his raised arm and knew that Zhu Junjie wouldn't let it go without getting to the bottom of it today. They were just speculating about Assistant Hu's situation. The police had already investigated and confirmed that Assistant Hu falling down the stairs was just an accident.
Even if they have their own suspicions, they cannot be confirmed. She is afraid that the more she hides it from Zhu Junjie, the more he will think about it. Song Lan said truthfully, "The police have closed the case and confirmed that the person's death was an accidental fall down the stairs." "Is it really just a coincidence?"
Zhu Junjie Clearly doesn't believe it.
Assistant Hu couldn't figure it out, he couldn't rest assured, he turned around with a "click" sound, and opened the door.
"Brother!"
Zhu Junqiao wanted to follow, but was stopped by Song Lan. "Sister-in-law, my brother has a hot temper and he's injured. If he goes to the company..."
"I know," Song Lan said to Zhu Junqiao, her eyes fixed on Zhu Junjie. "Tong Tong is napping, you stay with her at home. I'll go after him."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll take care of Tong Tong!"
Zhu Junqiao can handle Tong Tong, but can't calm down Zhu Junjie when he's emotional. Taking care of Zhu Junjie can only be entrusted to Song Lan. Song Lan is worried about Zhu Junjie and quickly catches up. When Zhu Junjie enters the elevator, Song Lan follows along.
"You go back."
