C45 There Was Something Fishy about All This

At the birthday party when she was ten years old, the fear she had felt seeped back into her heart.

The day was supposed to be her birthday party, and many of her friends had come to bless her, but she was too young to do anything about it, so she took a piece of cream cake to the pool alone. Unexpectedly, the cake was completely covered by a man in a suit, but he was too anxious to see the road clearly. As a result, he took her to the depths of the ocean and threw her down.

The grumpy man was standing right in front of her.

If Mu Hanyu hadn't reached out to get her that day, perhaps she would have left a long time ago.

Ever since that incident, she had been particularly afraid of water. Although she had gradually recovered from her treatment, she had really never gone swimming again.

However, why did her white fingers, which always carried the scent of fine cigars, gently stroke her right cheek? A wave of pain came over her, and she naturally took a few steps back. The pair of clear and cold eyes stared at this man. Just what did he want to do? Why did he touch her face?

A thought appeared in Xu Yiru's mind. His hand moved before he could think about it, but when he looked into her eyes, he felt it was subtle. He asked gently, "Does it hurt?"

"It's not too painful, it's okay." Sun Jie took three steps back when she said that.

It was a strange feeling, his movements so gentle she couldn't see them clearly.

Why was he suddenly so considerate to her?

Xu Yiju looked at this charming girl and said, "I want to ask you to remember everything. I'm not trying to expose your private life, but I think there's something wrong with these things."

Sun Jie looked up and met Xu Yiru's gray eyes. She couldn't help but be attracted by them, so she quickly looked away, "You mean …" Weird? "Where do I start from …"

"Actually, as long as you use your brain, you will always think of Yan Xiaoxiao as a woman. How could she possibly care about her own safety and Mu Hanyu, and think about it again, after you were released from prison, who would treat you differently from before, or who would benefit the most from the Sun family's current situation, I think the answer is very obvious. You have been together with the old man since you were young, how come you didn't learn even the slightest trick on his part?" When Xu Yiru said this, it didn't seem like he was analyzing an important question, but rather, it seemed like he was having fun after meals.

As he said this, all the messy information in his head was instantly roused.

Sun Jie suddenly heard so much information that she was unable to digest it before falling into a ball.

When she came out, she first went to a small town, where she worked in an obscure restaurant to avoid the music city.

Then, because her grandfather was very sick, He Leyan went to the small town to find her.

One by one, she asked for help to visit the families that had been good to the Sun family. However, she received either a cruel answer or some rejections.

The Sun family wouldn't be able to borrow money from the bank. Unless the Sun family went bankrupt and needed the bank's help to liquidate their assets, the bank and the Sun family wouldn't have any interactions.

She sometimes thought that the Sun family was indeed in a precarious situation, but they had not reached the end of the line. Uncle He had mentioned before that while Grandpa was still fit and healthy, he still had a few good projects in his hands. When they were done, would he still worry about funding?

However, there was one thing …

The biggest benefit is...

Sun Jie had a name in her heart, but she couldn't believe it. Her eyebrows knitted together as she looked at Xu Yiru. "Could it be that my uncle is the mastermind behind this?"
