1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 271: Bringing Sister to Find Sister
Faced with his wife's questioning, Xu Yuexin was shocked.

"I'm telling the truth, why don't I believe it myself?"

He spoke calmly on the surface, but in fact he was panicking like a horse.

He was 100% sure that his sister-in-law would use a similar approach when facing questioning from his daughter-in-law.

I can only say that my wife has a very high IQ and is really hard to fool.

"You're still lying to me at this time."

Chen Qiaoqiao said with a sad look on her face, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes.

Xu Yuexin felt very distressed when seeing this, but no matter how distressed he was, he still had to continue to fool people.

"How could I lie to you? There's really nothing going on between your sister and me. I just have a good impression of each other."

Xu Yuexin knew that if he continued to lie, his wife would be sad.

But if I didn't lie, it would probably not be as simple as sadness.

After saying that, Xu Yuexin picked up a tissue and wiped away his wife's tears.

"Tell me where you are going."

Xu Yuexin wiped her tears and asked, "I'll go with you."

"No, just stay at home."

Chen Qiaoqiao shook her head and said, "The conditions at the new branch are not good. There may not be enough space for you to live in."

"That's easy. Just rent a house outside."

Xu Yuexin slapped his thigh and lowered his voice to flatter, "By the way, if the conditions are really bad, you might as well not go."

“It’s so nice to stay at home.”

"Of course, if you don't want to see me, then I'll leave and let you live in this house alone."

Chen Qiaoqiao shook her head and said nothing.

She was really annoyed now. She felt annoyed whenever she heard Xu Yuexin's voice!

"Okay, I'll leave first."

After saying this, Xu Yuexin went back to his bedroom, packed two sets of clothes, and slipped away from the Duke's Mansion.

Of course, he did not go far, but went to a residence only seven or eight hundred meters away from the Duke's Mansion.

It's close to home and convenient to come back anytime.

And there was no one else around, which was just right for him to be alone and quiet.

The room was simply furnished, with nothing else except a bed, chair, kettle and other necessary daily necessities.

After Xu Yuexin boiled a pot of water for himself, he sat down on a chair and began to think.

At present, what he doesn't understand most is how his wife can see the relationship between him and his elder sister-in-law.

Could it be that my sister-in-law had an unnatural expression last night and she noticed it?

That's not right. This is just a clue at best, not even indirect evidence.

If a normal person observes such a phenomenon, he or she will definitely investigate silently and then take the next step after obtaining evidence.

There's no such thing as a direct showdown.

Xu Yuexin thought about it over and over but couldn't come to a conclusion, and his head hurt from thinking so much.

……

That night, Xu Yuexin did not stay here, but quietly returned home in the dark.

From the front yard to the middle yard, and then to the main yard.

Xu Yuexin walked to the square where he and his wife usually lived, only to see that the lights were on and it was obvious that no one had gone to bed yet.

This time, Xu Yuexin did not use the key to open the door, but walked up and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened.

The wife looked at him with tears on her face, her face full of displeasure: "Why did you come back?"

"I came back to see you. I'm worried about you being alone."

Xu Yuexin said sincerely, then turned and left.

"stop."

It was not until Xu Yuexin walked to the middle courtyard that Chen Qiaoqiao stopped him from behind and said, "Why are you leaving?"

"You're fine, I should leave now."

Xu Yuexin turned his back to his wife and spoke in a heavy tone.

After saying that, Xu Yuexin continued to move forward.

"Come back."

He took only two steps forward when he heard his wife's sighing voice behind him, "I have something to tell you."

Xu Yuexin quickly turned around and went into the house with her.

"Do you know where my sister is?"

As soon as the door closed, Chen Qiaoqiao asked immediately, "I don't know. Didn't she tell you last night?"

Xu Yuexin was startled.

He thought his wife knew where his sister-in-law had gone, but he didn't expect that she didn't know either.

"No, we just said we were going out of town. She didn't tell me where she was going, and I didn't tell her where I was going."

The daughter-in-law shook her head blankly, worry gradually appearing in her eyes, "No, we have to find her immediately."

"Your sister is talking about living out of town, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

Xu Yuexin comforted his wife and said, "How about this, I'll go to the train station and check the timetable to see if I can find it out."

"I'll go with you."

"Then go."

Xu Yuexin took his wife's hand and walked quickly out the door together.

At this time, the daughter-in-law calmly pulled her hand out.

Xu Yuexin grabbed her hand again without saying a word.

After going out, Xu Yuexin rode his motorcycle to take her to the train station, walked into the hall and studied the departure notice posted there.

It was nine o'clock in the morning when Xu Yuexin arrived at his sister-in-law's house. She had already set out.

So focus on checking the flights before 9 o'clock.

There are relatively fewer departures from the train station these days. There are a total of 9 departures from Beijing Railway Station before 6 o'clock.

Two of them are heading to Shanghai, one is heading to the Northeast, and the other three are heading to other places.

"She told me before that she wanted to go to Shanghai, and she probably went this time."

Xu Yuexin judged, "I'll go find her."

"I'll go with you."

Chen Qiaoqiao said without hesitation.

"You're not going to work?"

"I take a leave."

"Well, let's buy the plane tickets and block her according to the schedule."

……

That night, Xu Yuexin and Chen Qiaoqiao boarded a late-night flight to Shanghai.

Even though the night sky was already pitch black, the two people sitting on the plane did not feel sleepy at all.

"If anything happens to my sister, I won't forgive you."

Chen Qiaoqiao clenched her pink circle and almost gritted her teeth.

"It should be fine."

Xu Yuexin said.

In fact, he was a little confused.

When the daughter-in-law first learned that her sister-in-law had left, she didn't express anything special.

How come her attitude changed after just one afternoon?

“Can you be 100% sure?”

Chen Qiaoqiao, who was always gentle, glared at Xu Yuexin and said.

"..."

"hundred percent."

Xu Yuexin said with extraordinary firmness.

After the plane landed in Shanghai, the two took a taxi to the train station and found a guesthouse nearby to stay in.

"Go to sleep. Her train will arrive in the morning."

In the guesthouse room, Xu Yuexin said to his wife.

"Let's go now."

The daughter-in-law sat on the edge of the bed and said seriously, "What if she arrives early."

The probability of the train arriving early is very small.

But definitely not zero.

When Xu Yuexin heard his wife's request, he thought it would be better to be safe.

"Go."

Xu Yuexin nodded, left the guesthouse with his wife, and walked to the train station.

There were a lot of mosquitoes at night, so Xu Yuexin bought a bottle of floral water and sprinkled most of it on himself and his wife. Only then did they get bit less often.

The two sat on the steps at the station entrance and waited until dawn.
