After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 409, Episode 443: The Story of Leng Zhan and His Wife Being Scammed (Part 2)

Sophisticated scammers often care about you more than your own family members; at least, their behavior will give you that impression.

Kong Liping's two daughters are both married and prioritize their husbands' families and their own. They almost never give back to Kong Liping, only asking for her help. Once, when Kong Liping was sick, her eldest daughter went to the hospital not to visit her, but to ask her for money.

Leng Zhan and Kong Liping have a son, Leng Xingyao, who is only fifteen years old this year. He is very talented in running and was selected by the national team at the age of seven and taken away for training. He has not been home for several years.

Son, but the son is invisible; daughter, but the daughter seems to be here to collect a debt; husband, but the husband gives her glory and vanity, yet she needs to please him at all times.

Zhao Linyin was different. She cared about her all the time. She knew what she liked and what she needed. When she was sick, Zhao Linyin would take care of her in the hospital. She would often bring things to visit her. Even the neighbors often mistook Zhao Linyin for her daughter.

Zhao Linyin would queue up before dawn to buy her favorite steamed buns, and would rush over to keep her company even if it meant living several blocks away when she was in a bad mood.

Zhao Linyin never asked anything of her, nor did she ever show any intention of seeking any benefit from her.

Even though she could tell that she was in trouble and clearly expressed her willingness to help her, Zhao Linyin just smiled and said that she was fine, and then tried to cheer her up.

Kong Li often regrets why Zhao Linyin is not her biological daughter.

She trusted Zhao Linyin very much. After Leng Zhan lost his job, she wanted him to start a business. She didn't discuss it with her husband Leng Zhan first, but with Zhao Linyin first.

Leng Zhan and Kong Liping still have some resources. They don't have much capital, but they do have assets. They have a share in the inheritance left by the old lady, and they also received what the old man owed them when he severed ties with Leng Zhan.

He owns several houses, jewelry, and over a dozen large and small croakers. If all of these were converted into money, it would amount to hundreds of thousands.

"Kong Liping is so stupid. Zhao Linyin told her that she invested in a seafood company owned by someone from her hometown, and that the company's profits doubled in just one year. She also said that the company was preparing to expand, and if you invested at this time, you would become a key member and get a bigger share of the profits."

It's not that Zhang Hongying looks down on Kong Liping, but with her face always flushed and darkened depending on what kind of person her husband is, how could she possibly know anything about business?

"Like a fool, you mortgaged the house, sold your jewelry and gold, and even lost money, only managing to raise 210,000 yuan, which you gave all to Zhao Linyin. Moreover, you, Da Tou, were kept in the dark from beginning to end."

After receiving the money, Zhao Linyin disappeared. However, before she disappeared, she said that she had to go back to her hometown to keep an eye on the seafood company, otherwise she would be letting down Kong Liping's trust.

"Even if there is a reason, shouldn't one be suspicious after almost a month of no contact? It's 210,000 yuan, but Kong Liping doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all."

“Kong Liping never doubted Zhao Linyin from beginning to end. Even though your uncle found out that Zhao Linyin had problems and presented the evidence to her, Kong Liping still argued with your uncle.”

Lin Yuexi remembered something, "Could the jade jewelry that was auctioned at the Donghua Hotel really have been left by Grandma?"

This happened last year.

On January 29th, Hubei Province was a relatively underdeveloped area. How could the buildings there withstand the devastation of a near-earthquake?!
A difficult one, P Plus support!

At this time, many people stepped forward. Some spontaneously rushed to Hubei Province for disaster relief, while others donated money and supplies to support the disaster area.

The Yuexi Group held an earthquake relief auction at the Donghua Hotel. All the auction items were donated by almost all the well-known businesses in Beijing, and the participants were also from these businesses. All the proceeds from the auction will be used to purchase relief supplies for the disaster area.

A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. Regardless of what those merchants were thinking at the time, they did indeed donate money to do good deeds, and that deserves praise. At that time, the Li family, a rising star in the Beijing business world, donated a set of jade jewelry, which won the highest price at the entire auction and was bought by the Zhang family for 270,000.

The Leng family rarely gets involved in business matters. Although the auction was organized by the Yuexi Group, the Yuexi Group was representing higher authorities in organizing the auction, and Leng Bai was not in charge of it. Moreover, Leng Bai was not in Beijing at the time.

Therefore, the Leng family was not very clear about the auction.

However, the Li family donated nearly two million yuan at the entire auction, making them the largest donor among all participants. As a result, the Li family attracted a lot of attention after the auction, and even the old man praised the Li family to Lin Yuexi.

The Li family became famous, and then the jewelry set that fetched the highest price at auction also became famous.

So, some people went to the Zhang family to "pay homage" to that set of headdresses.

Leng Xingchen has a close friend named Wang Shizhe, who is from Beijing. His parents used to work in a steel factory. After the economic liberation, the two quit their jobs and went into business. Starting from selling clothes at a street stall, they have already established a garment factory in both Beijing and Shanghai in a short period of time.

The Zhang family owns a shopping mall, and Wang's father's clothing store is located in the Zhang family's shopping mall.

Because of the conflict of interest, and because Wang's parents were good at socializing and the two families had a fairly good relationship, Wang Shizhe was fortunate enough to 'admire' the set of headdresses with his parents.

Wang Shizhe had seen the set of jewelry left by the old lady once. It was when he was a child, when things weren't so strict. When the old man celebrated his birthday, Kong Liping wore a jade plum blossom hairpin.

When Wang Shizhe saw the plum blossom hairpin in the Zhang family's jade headdress set, he felt it looked familiar, but it had been so long that he couldn't remember it at the moment.

Later, I thought it looked similar, but then I worried that I might have been too young and remembered it wrong.

Besides, hairpins might be similar?

But they are both old objects, both use openwork techniques, and are very similar; it seems impossible that they are coincidentally related.

So Wang Shizhe told Leng Xingchen about his suspicions.

Leng Xingchen didn't think much of it. He felt that no matter how unreliable his uncle was, he wouldn't sell his grandmother's belongings, let alone have them stolen, so he didn't take it seriously.

Once, when Lin Yuexi returned home, Leng Xingchen happened to be visiting the old man. During their conversation, the old man mentioned the Li family and that set of jewelry. Leng Xingchen then brought up the matter of the jade hairpin.

However, the old man and Lin Yuexi shared the same thought as Leng Xingchen: they didn't believe that the set of jewelry had anything to do with the Leng family.

If Zhang Hongying hadn't said that Kong Liping had sold all the jewelry, Lin Yuexi would never have suspected anything.

Her words startled Zhang Hongying.

"It may or may not be true. Kong Liping entrusted Zhao Linyin with handling even things like mortgaging her house and selling her jewelry. Later, when Leng Zhan discovered that she had been deceived and wanted to get the jewelry back, Kong Liping herself couldn't say who she had sold the jewelry to."

Lin Yuexi and Leng Xingmao were both speechless.

How does Kong Liping's brain work? Doesn't it have any wrinkles?
Even stepping on a fly makes your foot slippery?
However, thinking about it more deeply, it gives you a creepy feeling.
