Chapter 396 He Might Not Be Dead

He turned to look at the people working in the company, his eyes filled with suspicion and wariness.

"What's wrong?" Liang Teng, who accompanied her upstairs, asked curiously.

"Who came into my office?" Liang Hanyue asked in a tense voice.

Liang Teng glanced at the office strangely; apart from a bouquet of flowers, there was nothing else. "I don't know, I'll go ask."

Liang Hanyue walked into the office and looked at the flowers on the table, her face growing increasingly grim.

A short while later, Liang Teng returned and said, "I asked around, and no one came into your office this morning."

"Have the security guards check who came in between last night and this morning." Liang Hanyue stared intently at the flowers.

Liang Teng was puzzled, but he still called the security office first, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with these flowers?"

Liang Hanyue closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Only Yunheng likes to give me jasmine flowers the most."

"No way, you mean Jin Yanting is still alive?" Liang Teng instinctively thought it was impossible. "Both his legs are crippled, and he was shot. How could he possibly be alive after falling into the sea?"

"He also fell into the sea in that car accident, and he survived."

Liang Hanyue no longer believes anything is absolute; if Yun Heng were still alive, he would definitely continue his revenge…

Jin Yanchen!
Yan's eyes narrowed, and she immediately called Jin Yanchen.

"You miss me already?" Jin Yanchen's smiling voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Where are you?" Liang Hanyue asked impatiently.

Jin Yanchen keenly sensed the tension in her voice and suppressed his laughter. "I'm at home, what's wrong?"

“He might not be dead.” Liang Hanyue felt a little relieved knowing he was home. “You need to be careful. If he’s still alive, he definitely won’t let you go.”

Jin Yanchen: "Why do you think he's not dead?"

Liang Hanyue looked at the white jasmine flowers on the table, pursed her lips, and remained silent for a moment. "I received a bouquet of jasmine flowers. He once said that I resembled this flower, so he would occasionally send me jasmine flowers."

Jin Yanchen, on the other end of the phone, felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this. "Are you at the company?"

"Yes, I'm fine now, don't worry about me." Liang Hanyue wasn't worried about herself, but she was afraid that if Jin Yanting were alive, he would never let Jin Yanchen go. "You have to be careful, don't go out unless necessary."

It's definitely safer to stay in Qiyun.

“I have bodyguards with me, so you don’t need to worry about me,” Jin Yanchen reassured her. “I’ll send a few people to your place later, and I’ll also have someone investigate the matter.”

Liang Hanyue hummed in agreement and obediently followed his instructions.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately told Liang Teng to throw the flowers away.

Seeing jasmine flowers always reminds me of Jin Yanting, and it always gives me a creepy feeling.

Perhaps because of that bouquet of flowers, Liang Hanyue was restless all day and even spaced out during the afternoon meeting.

I took the unfinished documents home with me when I left work.

Jin Yanchen stood at the door and went to greet her as she got out of the car, "Are you alright?"

Liang Hanyue shook her head. "Are you alright?"

"What could possibly happen to me at home?" Jin Yanchen led her into the house, ignoring Liang Teng following behind.

"I've sent people to investigate, but we can't confirm whether he's alive yet."

Liang Hanyue pursed her lips: "But we can't be sure if he's still alive. The security office has retrieved the surveillance footage. This morning, a person wearing a hat and mask entered the company and left that bouquet of flowers in my office, but we can't confirm the person's identity."

Jin Yanchen nodded, "No rush. As long as he shows up again, we'll eventually catch him."

Liang Teng wasn't that worried. "Whether he lives or dies, if he's alive, let him die again."

"Are you going?" Liang Hanyue turned to look at him.

Liang Teng: "I can't. Isn't Su Xiaoxiao next to you very good at fighting? Let her go!"

"You have the nerve to say that," Liang Hanyue said with a hint of disdain.

Liang Teng said without changing his expression, "What's there to be embarrassed about! I'm a civilized person, I don't solve problems with force."

Liang Hanyue: “…”

If you can't beat someone, you can't beat them, so why be so stubborn?

Jin Yanchen didn't expose him, and squeezed Liang Hanyue's fingers, "Let's eat first."

Jin Tian also came home from get off work, and the four of them sat down at the dining table to eat.

Jin Tian sensed something was off and asked softly, "What happened?"

Liang Hanyue and Jin Yanchen exchanged a glance, realizing they couldn't hide it from her and needed to prepare her mentally.

"Jin Yanting might not be dead. You need to be careful in the future."

Jin Tian's smile froze, and a flash of hatred appeared in her eyes. "He's still alive?! How can he still be alive after doing so many bad things! It's so unfair!"

Liang Hanyue knew she hated Jin Yanting for plotting against her and Liang Jingfeng, so she reached out and grasped her trembling hand. "Suspicion, but not yet confirmed."

"He'd better be dead, or I wouldn't mind killing him myself," Jin Tian said through gritted teeth.

"Just be careful when you go out, I'll handle the rest." Jin Yanchen said in a deep and cold voice, seeing her resentment and fearing she might do something outrageous.

Jin Tian snapped out of her daze, met his dark eyes, and glanced down at the rice in her bowl with resentment, instantly losing her appetite.

"I'm full, you guys continue eating." She put down her chopsticks, got up, and went upstairs.

Liang Hanyue's gaze followed her retreating figure, a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Just let her calm down." Jin Yanchen gestured for her to eat and not think too much.

As Liang Teng said, so what if Jin Yanting didn't die?
So what if he dies again?!
***
The possibility that Jin Yanting was still alive kept Liang Hanyue on edge for a few days, but nothing else happened, and with the end of the year approaching, she gradually relaxed.

Liang Teng is going back to Nancheng for the New Year and wants Liang Hanyue to come with him.

Liang Hanyue refused.

Liang Jingfeng also called her to convey Liang Zhoushan's wishes, hoping she would return to Nancheng.

After all, her identity has been made public, and if she doesn't go back, she will inevitably be the subject of gossip.

Liang Hanyue did not agree, only saying she would consider it, but she still did not want to go back.

Although they are all blood relatives, they have never spent time together and have no emotional connection with each other.

The thought of spending the Lunar New Year with a group of strangers makes me feel uneasy.

Jin Yanchen's family lost two elders this year, so they couldn't be too high-profile during the New Year and didn't make any special preparations.

Neither of them went to the office over the weekend; they were both busy in the study.

After finishing the video conference, Jin Yanchen suddenly looked up and asked, "What are your plans for New Year's Eve?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Hanyue looked up from her documents. "There are no arrangements."

"Not going back to Nancheng?" he asked.

Liang Hanyue blinked: "You want me to go back?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked.

Jin Yanchen did not deny it, got up and sat down next to her, "The Liang family thinks highly of you."

They gave him shares and a company, which meant Liang Teng had lost everything in Beijing.

Liang Hanyue: "I don't want to go back."

"Do you hate Liang Zhoushan?" Otherwise, you wouldn't be so resistant to returning to Nancheng.

“I wouldn’t call it hatred.” Liang Hanyue leaned back on the sofa, her arms crossed in front of her, and said slowly, “I just have no feelings for him, and I don’t want to waste any more time and energy building a close relationship.” Liang Zhoushan had wronged his grandmother and his father, and she had no right to resent or blame them. Naturally, she had no right to forgive him on behalf of the dead or to ease his guilt.

Jin Yanchen didn't force her. "Think it over carefully. At Liang Zhoushan's age, he can just leave whenever he wants. If you have any questions or anything you want to do, then go for it. Don't leave any regrets for yourself."

Liang Hanyue bit her lip, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "And what about you?"

"Although this year is different, we still need to observe the proper etiquette. I may not have time to accompany you back to Nancheng!"

He couldn't possibly abandon such a large family as the Jin family.

……

Perhaps fearing that Liang Hanyue wouldn't return, Liang Jingfeng personally flew to the capital again.

Upon learning that they were all at home, they came directly to Qiyunli.

"President Liang..." Jin Yanchen politely extended his hand, "I've long admired your name."

"Likewise." Liang Jingfeng shook hands with him and quickly let go. "Your reputation is legendary."

Jin Yanchen invited him to sit down and instructed the servants to serve tea. "You two chat, I'll return a phone call."

It's really just about finding a reason for the two of them to talk alone.

Liang Jingfeng took a sip of tea and said calmly, "His leg won't get better?"

"Whether it's good or bad has nothing to do with you." Liang Hanyue didn't want to discuss Jin Yanchen's legs.

That was his pride, and his dignity.

"The Jin family is good, but our Liang family's daughters are not bad either, so there's no need to hang yourself on one tree," Liang Jingfeng said tactfully.

"I'm the kind of person who sticks to my principles; once I've made up my mind about someone, I don't want to change it." Liang Hanyue said casually, "You're not feeling awkward around him now because you got your marriage certificate with Jin Tian, ​​are you?"

The last sentence had a hint of irony.

Logically, Jin Yanchen should address him as "uncle" according to his generation, but since he and Jin Tian got their marriage certificate, Jin Yanchen is also considered his brother-in-law...

This relationship... is so complicated!
Liang Jingfeng frowned. "Getting a marriage certificate isn't real."

Liang Hanyue asked curiously, "You and Jin Tian haven't been in contact since?"

"Contact what?" Liang Jingfeng asked.

Liang Hanyue said thoughtfully, "It's best if we don't contact each other. If Tian Tian sees you, it will remind her of a bad memory, so you'd better leave quickly and not let her see you later."

Liang Jingfeng ignored her words, "Don't change the subject, what are your plans?"

"I...I haven't thought about it yet." Liang Hanyue's eyes darted away guiltily.

"Is it that you haven't thought it through or that you don't want to go back?" Liang Jingfeng frowned and said, "You and Jin Yanchen haven't registered your marriage or had a wedding, so it's not appropriate for you to stay here."

Liang Hanyue muttered, "An old relic."

"What?" Liang Jingfeng didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing." Liang Hanyue shook her head, met his gaze, and smiled slightly. "Even if we go back, we'll have to wait a few days. There are still some things to take care of."

Hearing her tone soften, Liang Jingfeng nodded: "I've applied for the flight that day. You can take my plane back then."

He paused for a moment and then said, "Your grandfather's health is deteriorating day by day. This is your first time coming home for the Spring Festival, and it's also his last Spring Festival."

The implication is that Liang Zhoushan's time is up and he won't live to see the next spring.

Liang Hanyue replied calmly, "Yes, I understand."

Seeing that she understood, Liang Jingfeng didn't say much. He stood up and said, "I've seen your performance during this time. You've done very well."

Liang Hanyue pouted: "I'm not some elementary school student who needs to be praised."

Looking at her proud little expression, Liang Jingfeng couldn't help but smile, his eyes full of the love of an elder for a younger generation.

Liang Hanyue saw him off, but unexpectedly ran into Jin Tian, ​​who was driving back, just as she reached the door.

Jin Tian saw his expression suddenly change and said coldly, "Didn't I say I wouldn't interfere in my life? What are you doing here?"

Liang Jingfeng remained silent.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jin Tian spoke again, "Why aren't you saying anything? Do you know you're in the wrong?"

"Ahem..." Liang Hanyue coughed lightly, "He came to see me."

"Huh?" Jin Tian was taken aback, blinking her eyes. "Looking for...looking for you?"

Liang Hanyue nodded, "Let me go back to Nancheng for the New Year."

"Oh." Jin Tian didn't expect that she had insulted him wrong, but it was a little difficult for her to apologize to him, so she pretended to say, "Then go back, after all, he is you, and he is your family."

Without giving Liang Hanyue a chance to speak, he quickly said, "Then you two chat, I'll go in first."

After saying that, he slipped away like a greased grease.

Liang Jingfeng turned his head to look at her running faster than a rabbit, and raised an eyebrow: "Why is she running?"

"Why are you running away?" Liang Hanyue laughed. "Of course, it's because I'm afraid you'll come after me."

"What accounts are we settling?"

"I just insulted you."

Liang Jingfeng was speechless. "Am I that bored?"

"If you're not bored, why did you come all the way to the capital?" Liang Hanyue glared at him.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have needed to make this trip." Liang Jingfeng glared at her, thinking, "What a troublesome girl."

Liang Hanyue didn't say anything.

Liang Jingfeng took a document from his secretary and handed it to her, saying, "Give this to her."

"What?" Liang Hanyue asked curiously.

“She doesn’t want 500 million yuan in alimony,” Liang Jingfeng explained. “It would be very slow to go through the property division process after the divorce, so I had someone do part of it in advance. Here is 200 million yuan. I will have someone transfer the remaining 300 million yuan to her as soon as the divorce is finalized.”

Liang Hanyue's eyes were full of surprise, "You really want to give her that much money?"

They even gave him 2 million yuan before the divorce was finalized.

"Do you think I'm playing house?" Liang Jingfeng urged her to accept it. "The storm has almost subsided. We'll find time during the New Year to complete the formalities."

Liang Hanyue took the folder. "I'll talk to her."

Liang Jingfeng left without saying anything more.

Liang Hanyue took the documents back into the room and saw Jin Tian holding a cup, pretending to drink water, but glancing at her out of the corner of her eye.

"Here you go." He handed her the folder.

"What?" Jin Tian took it curiously, opened it and saw a bank card.

“My uncle gave you 200 million yuan in alimony,” Liang Hanyue relayed his words. “Once you have time to complete the formalities in the spring, he will transfer the remaining 300 million yuan to you.”

Jin Tian clutched the bank card in disbelief, "There really is 2 million here?"

"Why don't you just look it up and find out?" Liang Hanyue chuckled.

Jin Tian's feelings were complicated and difficult to describe.

On one hand, she hated him for raping her, but on the other hand, she felt he was too generous, so generous that it was hard to hate him.

"If I say I don't hate him as much anymore, would you think I'm being superficial?"

The two updates have been combined. See you tomorrow!
