Chapter 136
After picking three baskets of figs, the navigation road turned green, so the two decided to deliver the figs first and go back for dinner.
Chen Pu's parents lived in Hedong. When the car arrived at the gate of the villa area, he hesitated for a moment and asked Li Qingyao: "Do you want to go in and sit for a while?"
Li Qingyao looked at him as if he was a lunatic.
Chen Pu actually felt that it was a bit awkward to meet her parents since they had only been together for three days, but since they were already at the doorstep, he couldn't help but be polite. Seeing her expression, he smiled and said politely, "Then next time, when you are ready." This showed his sincerity without doing anything stupid. He really thought he was quite good at dating.
However, Li Qingyao was so ruthless that he didn't even say "next time".
Chen Pu called the nanny to come out and pick it up. The nanny was very considerate and didn't look into the car. She just smiled and asked, "Why don't you go back and sit for a while?"
Chen Pu finally couldn't hold it back, and said with a faint smile: "No, didn't you see there was someone else in my car?"
Li Qingyao turned his head and looked out the window, unable to bear to watch.
They went to Yuan Ling's clinic again. It was just after dinner and it was the evening business peak. Li Qingyao handed the fig to an apprentice and did not go in.
But Chen Pu had some thoughts in mind at this time, and asked: "Have you told your mother about our relationship?"
"Of course not."
Chen Pu turned the steering wheel and drove onto the main road: "Aunt Yuan knows it's okay again."
Li Qingyao deliberately said: "Aren't you afraid that she won't agree?"
Chen Pu had never thought of this possibility. He felt that Yuan Ling had always liked him. But on second thought, treating him as a godson and treating him as a son-in-law might be two different things. He also hesitated and said, "Let's wait and see." Let's wait until the relationship is more stable.
Li Qingyao held back and didn't laugh.
The two of them had a casual meal nearby. Chen Pu originally planned to drive home, but when he looked at the tall buildings on the road, which were magnificent and golden, he suddenly changed his mind and asked, "Do you want to go to my other house?"
Li Qingyao was curious: "Where is it?"
"There is one in Xingyue Bay, Binjiang Road."
"Is anyone else here?"
Chen Pu looked at her and said, "Of course not. It's my house and it's always been empty."
This was the house his parents bought for him the year he first entered the police academy. It was in the CBD area near the river, close to his family and company. It was a large flat, fully furnished, and had everything in it. But he wanted to live with Li Jincheng at the time, and Li Jincheng was determined not to live in his house for free. It was also far from the police station, so he never lived there. His parents meant that he could just leave it there and use it as a wedding house in the future.
Later, when Li Jincheng got into trouble, Chen Pu was stubborn again and insisted on living in Chaoyang Home, so he bought an old and dilapidated house. He hadn't been here for a few years. But someone had been cleaning the house regularly.
But now, he and Li Qingyao are in love, and things are different. Originally, Chen Pu's mind was full of brotherly love, and he was willing to suffer and abuse himself. But now looking at the house in Chaoyang Home, and thinking about the scene of him and Li Qingyao being intimate in it, he felt... sorry for them. The house is too shabby, and girls need an environment and atmosphere when they are in love, right? Only Li Qingyao shares the same ideals with him and does not despise him.
Of course, they still had to live in Chaoyang Home, but Chen Pu felt that this vacant house was quite suitable for them to use as a temporary home while they were dating.
As soon as she entered the community, Li Qingyao felt that the super-high-end community was indeed a super-high-end community, with deep courtyards and lush greenery. The property managers she occasionally met were dressed in dignified uniforms and had a sweet smile. Chen Pu took her around the community, and then they walked hand in hand across a small bridge and pond and entered the king building.
The elevator went up to more than 30 floors and then entered the apartment. This is a three-bedroom apartment of about 200 square meters. When it was first renovated, Chen Pu was still extravagant and arrogant. He didn't like the luxurious decoration style of the five-star hotel provided by the developer, so he had it all torn down and renovated it into a modern simple and elegant style of gray, white and black. If it were now, Chen Pu would think that he was simply sick in the head. What style is not important after living for a long time? Compared with wasting money, style is not important. However, Chen Pu likes the current decoration very much. He asked Li Qingyao: "How is it here? Do you like this decoration style?"
Li Qingyao was standing in front of the 270-degree floor-to-ceiling glass window, looking at the night view of the Xiangjiang River. To be honest, she quite liked this cold and ruthless decoration style, but she replied: "It suits you very well."
Chen Pu couldn't tell whether her words were a compliment or a scolding, so he just took it as a compliment.
"I'll go make some tea, you sit down first."
When Chen Pu came back with the tea set, she saw Li Qingyao sitting on the sofa, reading Ye Songming's notebook. Chen Pu saw that it was not too early, so he picked up another notebook and sat on the sofa next to her.
However, after watching for a while, Chen Pu felt uncomfortable. Of course, he still had to work extra shifts, but if he just sat there in silence and sent people home after watching, it would be a loss for him.
Li Qingyao was watching intently when the sofa beside him suddenly sank and a warm body squeezed in. This white leather sofa was spacious, but it was still a bit crowded for two adults, especially since Chen Pu had long legs and arms.
Li Qingyao glanced at him.
Chen Pu's face was very calm. He held her waist with both hands, lifted her up and put her on his thighs. Then he put one arm on the armrest of the sofa and picked up the notebook with the other hand. He said, "What are you looking at me for? Working overtime."
Li Qingyao stared at him for a few seconds, and he stared at his notebook, seemingly unaware. Li Qingyao then turned his head and continued to look at his own.
The night was dark and the lights were dim. The river outside the window flowed slowly eastward, and ships occasionally passed by. The lights in the living room were bright and white. Li Qingyao nestled in Chen Pu's arms, and Chen Pu leaned on the sofa, each reading a piece of evidence. Chen Pu was not distracted at all and was very focused. When he needed to turn the page, he would put his hands around her and turn the page. Sometimes, his free hand would be on her waist, and sometimes, he would hold her fingers together and clasp their hands together on the sofa.
Li Qingyao didn't think his hard muscles and bones were more comfortable than a leather sofa. She had to move occasionally to adjust her posture and position. Later, she simply sat sideways, resting her head on his chest and curling up her legs. Chen Pu put his arm around her and rested his chin on top of her head.
After watching for about half an hour, Chen Pu frowned and patted her arm: "Look at this."
Those were several medical records stapled together, covering the period from February to April 2017. The patients all had the same name, "Li Yu," and their age was 2. Their illness was diabetes. The medications prescribed were either hypoglycemic drugs or hypoglycemic injections.
Chen Pu pointed to the bottom of the page, where the signature was.
Li Qingyao's eyes suddenly widened.
The person who signed for Li Yu to get the medicine was Liu Huaixin.
She turned back again—
Page 2: Liu Huaixin.
Page 3: Qian Chengfeng.
Page 4: Qian Chengfeng,
Page 5: Liu Huaixin.
Li Qingyao flipped through the yellowed papers several times and looked up at Chen Pu. Chen Pu's eyes were clear and sharp.
When the police clerks were checking the evidence, they might have missed these receipts, or they might have seen them but ignored them, because the two names were not related at all.
Chen Pu said: "It seems that Qian Chengfeng is the second one among the three people."
"But who is this Li Yu?"
