Chapter 219 219. Do you want to find your family?
At that time, Chen Yan had just been married to Zhang Hongzhi for a short time, and the Zhang family had not yet revealed its true nature, so when Chen Yan heard her parents-in-law say that in order to give the couple a better life, they used their savings accumulated over the years to buy a house, Chen Yan believed it.
Because before marrying her, Zhang Hongzhi promised that he would buy a house in the city and give her a good life.
Chen Yan was still very moved at the time, because the house was bought with full payment. Although it was in the name of her parents-in-law, they both said that after they died, the house would belong to the two of them.
Chen Yan didn't have any ideas about the house. After all, the money to buy the house originally belonged to her parents-in-law, and they only had Zhang Hongzhi as their only son. After their death, the house could only be left to Zhang Hongzhi.
But there are some things that you know in your heart, which are different from what you say out loud to others. So at that time, Chen Yan was really grateful to have such sensible parents-in-law. She even put the blame on herself when she didn't get pregnant for several years.
At first, her family would comfort her, but when she began to blame herself for being useless, their attitude gradually changed...
"The timing...matches..."
Others may not know what time Chen Yan is talking about, but Jinjiu knows that she is talking about the time of moving.
The time when the Zhang family moved, the time when the friend disappeared, and the time when Jinjiu mentioned the murder, all almost match.
Chen Yan even really remembered that there were a few days when Zhang Hongzhi went out early and came back late. When asked what he did, he would not tell her. There was even one day when he did not come back all night!
Although Chen Yan didn't know why Jinjiu knew about this, it didn't affect her from using this as the last bargaining chip to save herself.
"Okay, I've already told you how I can help you. You can use this to get him to divorce. As for what happens next, I believe you're smart and you'll know what to do."
If Chen Yan wasn't really pitiful and had a fateful life, Jin Jiu wouldn't have said so much.
She never likes to meddle too much in other people's family affairs.
"Thank you... Thank you so much..." After just a few words, Chen Yan was already sobbing.
She didn't know why, but she really believed in Jinjiu now. This trust came inexplicably, but she really believed it... Most importantly, she also very much hoped that this was true.
Because if this wasn't true, she didn't know what to do.
"no need to thank me."
This wasn't supposed to be her life.
Jin Jiu looked at Chen Yan's embarrassed appearance, and after a little thought, he spoke again: "Do you want to find your family?"
"My family?" Chen Yan was stunned, and then asked in disbelief: "I actually have a family?"
Aren't all her family members dead?
"It's a little complicated. You can understand it yourself when the time comes." Jin Jiu didn't plan to say too much now. There was no need. She said seriously: "If you want to find your family, then on the day of your divorce, if someone calls you and wants to talk to you, remember to stop. This is your only chance."
As for why it was the only chance, Jinjiu did not say.
If you say too much, other things will be exposed.
She believed that Chen Yan could make her own choice. If she couldn't, then that was her fate in this life.
After saying this, Jinjiu was ready to leave. Before leaving, Jinjiu tied a red rope on Chen Yan's hand, with a transparent bead on it.
Although Chen Yan didn't know what it meant, she still accepted it because she thought both the red string and the bead were good. No woman doesn't love beauty. She used to like dressing up, but now...
Never mind, that's all in the past...
Not long after Jinjiu left, Chen Yan waited for Zhang Hongzhi who was late.
I don’t know why, it took him half an hour to complete the discharge procedure, which is such a simple matter.
But none of this matters.
Chen Yan followed Zhang Hongzhi home. Along the way, Chen Yan seemed very silent. Zhang Hongzhi did not doubt anything, but kept cursing Chen Yan in his heart for causing him to spend hundreds of dollars more.
He thought that he would teach Chen Yan a lesson after returning home.
His time in the detention center was really hard... Zhang Hongzhi felt upset when he thought about how his parents had been fighting over his background and were still in prison.
But on second thought, he suddenly realized that he was not his parents' biological son. If that was the case, then what did it have to do with him even if they were locked up?
When Zhang Hongzhi thought of this, he couldn't help but get excited.
When he returned home, he looked at the house and suddenly remembered one thing - the name of the house was not his.
During the time in the detention center, he finally realized that his biological parents were unreliable. They actually wanted to ignore him simply because he was not their biological son.
In that case, he doesn't need to show any mercy to the old man and the old woman.
He wants this house!
And it's not just the house, there are also some other valuable things in the house... Thinking of this, Zhang Hongzhi didn't even care about Chen Yan, and went straight to the second bedroom as soon as he got home.
The second bedroom is the room of his fake father and mother.
After searching for a while, he found household registration books, property certificates and other documents, as well as the old couple's bank cards, passbooks, and even many gold and silver jewelry that they had kept over the years.
He packed these things in a bag and prepared to put them in his room first, but when he left the room, he saw Chen Yan sitting on the sofa in the living room. Chen Yan stared at him straight with a frighteningly calm look in her eyes. Zhang Hongzhi was so scared that he almost dropped the things in his hands.
When he came to his senses and found that he was actually scared by Chen Yan, he was immediately filled with anger.
He put the things on the table casually, then walked up to Chen Yan angrily and prepared to hit her without saying a word. Unexpectedly, the woman who usually never fought back or retaliated actually dodged his fist.
This fact shocked him, but more than that, it made him angry.
"You bitch, you dare to hide? I told you to hide!" As he said that, he grabbed Chen Yan's hair, held her down, and slapped her in the face.
In the past, Chen Yan always cried and begged for mercy when she was beaten, but today, instead of crying or begging for mercy, she looked at Zhang Hongzhi and smiled faintly.
The smile is creepy and makes people shudder.
"Fight? Why don't you continue? Are you afraid of 'accidentally' killing someone again?"
