Chapter 182 Muddy Waters
Chapter 182 Muddy Waters
Duan Hongji said he would come home for dinner tonight, so Jiang Huiyi prepared a large table of food and waited anxiously and expectantly for Duan Hongji to come back.
After she "confessed" her love to Duan Hongji that day, Duan Hongji looked a little surprised. He comforted her with a few words and then left home, never to return.
Duan Jizhi happened to be on vacation and had been with Jiang Huiyi for the past two days. Jiang Huiyi appeared to be very happy, but deep down, she was in the double torment of fear and anticipation all the time.
Jiang Huiyi feels guilty about her feelings for Duan Hongji and feels that she has betrayed her true love Duan Jizhi.
But Duan Hongji really didn't give her any response, so she couldn't help but feel a little resentful and hated Duan Hongji's indifference.
In this tug of war, she couldn't help but ask Duan Jizhi indirectly, when would Duan Hongji be able to come back?
Of course, the excuse she found was also very reasonable - Duan Jizhi was the eldest son after all, and it was really inappropriate for his father not to ask a single question when he had not returned home for such a long time.
Duan Jizhi did not let Jiang Huiyi down. He talked to Duan Chengfang and Duan Chengfang agreed.
Amidst such torment and anticipation, Duan Hongji, whom she had been thinking about for a long time, finally returned home.
As soon as the hall door opened, Jiang Huiyi couldn't wait to greet him: "Old Duan!"
The person who came in was not Old Duan, but a young man. He was extremely handsome and unforgettable. When he saw Jiang Huiyi, he politely said, "Mrs. Duan, good day."
Jiang Huiyi was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered who this face belonged to.
Isn't this the man Duan Hongji asked her to dance with last time?
I think his name is Theodore.
Why did he come here?
Behind Theodore, Duan Hongji followed in. He looked a little tired, as if he had just been through a battle.
Jiang Huiyi subconsciously asked: "Old Duan, what is this...?"
Duan Hongji glanced at Jiang Huiyi and nodded weakly: "Yiyi, this is Mr. Mansfield, you should remember him. He is a guest at home."
Jiang Huiyi glanced at the sky outside the door. At night? I have never heard of anyone visiting someone else's house in the middle of the night.
Looking at Theodore's dirty face again, Jiang Huiyi became even more suspicious.
Even though she was full of doubts, Jiang Huiyi still welcomed Theodore into the house gracefully.
As soon as Duan Hongji entered the room, he couldn't wait to say, "I'm going to take a shower." Then he rushed to the third floor in a hurry, as if he was covered in something dirty.
Theodore was left there by his host, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled and said, "Mrs. Duan, I want to take a bath too. Do you know where there is a bathroom?"
Jiang Huiyi felt strange and said subconsciously: "The guest rooms are all on the second floor..."
Jiang Huiyi was a little worried, so she directed her aunt, "Auntie Wu, you take him there."
Theodore smiled so hard that his teeth could not be seen: "Thank you very much, Mrs. Duan."
-------
Zhao Ruoming was taking a shower in the bathroom while recalling his conversation with Theodore.
According to Theodore, all this was a conspiracy by his brothers. Old Mr. Mansfield had clearly left his inheritance to Theodore, but when his brothers found out, they took the initiative and killed old Mr. Mansfield.
Then, the group of ferocious brothers framed Lina for the incident. At the same time, they used some unknown means to dig out the relationship between Theodore and Lina and successfully blamed Theodore.
Theodore cried out to heaven and earth for help but no one answered his call. What was even more infuriating was that his former forces also believed that Theodore had murdered his father and betrayed him one after another!
Theodore didn't want to face the charges, so he fled from France. The power in Western Europe was in chaos, and the Mansfield family was deeply rooted. Theodore was framed and in danger of losing his life, so he had to flee to the relatively safe Haicheng, Huaguo. After all, guns were banned there, so Theodore didn't have to worry about committing suicide with twelve bullets in his back.
In addition, there are many forces managed by Theodore in Haicheng. Theodore also thought that he could make a comeback through this.
Ideals are full, but reality is very skinny. Theodore had just found his old subordinate when he was nearly stabbed in the intestines. Although Theodore got rid of his subordinate, he was also extremely embarrassed and dared not trust anyone anymore.
Fearing that his whereabouts would be tracked, Theodore did not dare to use electronic payment or swipe his card. Theodore fled from place to place, not knowing where to hide, and then he went to the vicinity of Duan Hongji's home, waiting for Duan Hongji.
Finally today, he squatted!
Zhao Ruoming once asked Theodore how he knew his home address, and received a flirtatious wink: "I knew it a long time ago, after all, I still want to be with you..."
Zhao Ruoming was speechless, so she asked this question unnecessarily.
Zhao Ruoming had no good feelings towards Theodore, and it was even more impossible for him to believe everything he said. Apart from anything else, who would believe that a playboy who planted a female spy next to his own father was innocent?
Zhao Ruoming didn't want to wade into this muddy water and take in this troublemaker. But as he listened to Theodore's words, Zhao Ruoming smelled a familiar smell.
Why does this outlaw smell so familiar?
Zhao Ruoming was cautious and asked 203 to check Theodore's current identity. However, the result was still "passerby".
At a time when Di Wanshu was also a "passerby", Zhao Ruoming naturally could not be convinced by this result.
Zhao Ruoming asked Theodore indirectly, "I remember that you have a good relationship with Di Hantian. Why don't you go to him, but come to me instead?"
Theodore smiled and said, "Although I am glad that you still remember that I have friends... However, if even you know that I have a good relationship with the Emperor, wouldn't the people who are chasing me know it?"
Although this explanation made sense, Zhao Ruoming still had some doubts in his mind. After thinking for a moment, he finally brought Theodore back.
At this critical juncture, Theodore's arrival was suspicious, so it would be safer to keep a close eye on him.
Zhao Ruoming finished his shower, changed into loose clothes and went downstairs.
Theodore hadn't finished washing yet, so Zhao Ruoming naturally didn't wait for him and went straight to the table to eat.
The dinner was quite sumptuous. Zhao Ruoming was hungry after a busy day, so he buried his head in work!
Jiang Huiyi was standing at the table, watching Duan Hongji eat while she said anxiously, "Old Duan, that just now..."
Duan Hongji glanced at her and whispered, "Something happened at his home. I'll tell you tonight."
Jiang Huiyi nodded. The romantic thoughts in her heart were also dispelled by this uninvited guest.
Duan Hongji rolled up his sleeves while eating, which was a very common little action. When Jiang Huiyi's eyes swept over the beautifully shaped arms, they froze slightly.
I saw some tiny scratches on the strong arms and big hands with hidden blue veins.
