The fire happened on the fifth day of Lin Juemin and Qin Meilan's quarrel.
During these five days, Qin Meilan did not return home.
Although this argument seemed to have nothing to do with the Smiths 'fire, it was still a matter of time.
But for some reason, Lin Rui felt that there was something fishy about the five days between the two incidents.
Just as Lin Rui was deep in thought, Su Yao sobbed softly and said,"
"Brother Lin Rui, I'm sorry. If it wasn't for my mother's mistake that caused the gas leak, Uncle Lin wouldn't have…"
Because of the fire, the father and daughter of the Smiths quickly fell into self-blame again.
But now, Lin Rui felt more and more that the fire back then was not as simple as they thought.
Of course, everything was still under investigation. There were some guesses and suspicions that he could not explain to them.
Lin Rui took a sip of wine.
Then, he said to Su Yao and Su Changqing,"Su Yao, Uncle Su, since you blame yourself for what happened back then, I, Lin Rui, will also formally express my thoughts to you today."”
"The fire back then is long gone. Moreover, it was not your wish. In the end, you are also victims. I think if my father knew that you have not recovered from the incident back then, he would definitely be very sad.”
"The deceased has already left. The survivors should inherit the will of the deceased and live well. If we continue to live in the pain of the past, how can you let my father rest in peace?”
Su Changqing took a big gulp of wine.
He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
She forced out a smile." Xiao Rui, you're right. Yaoyao and I have indeed suffered in the past. Now that you've appeared, Yaoyao and I finally have some hope. What do you think of Yaoyao?”
Lin Rui was stunned.
He thought to himself, Uncle Su, your thoughts are really jumping around. Why did you suddenly talk about Su Yao?
After Su Yao heard Su Changqing's words, her face turned slightly red. She chose to lower her head and remain silent.
"Yaoyao is very good. She's beautiful, smart, sensible, and obedient. What's more, she has always maintained a pure and kind heart.”
Lin Rui replied to Su Changqing very sincerely.
Su Changqing laughed out loud and reached out to pat Lin Rui's shoulder. With the help of the wine, he said,
"Then how about Uncle Su giving you a second birthday present today?”
Lin Rui didn't think too much and smiled.""Okay, what surprise did Uncle Su prepare for me?”
Su Changqing pointed at Su Yao.
"Uncle Su wants to marry Su Yao to you. What do you think of this gift?”
Lin Rui was stunned.
Although he had long sensed that Su Changqing might have considered this before, or else he wouldn't have arranged for him to stay in Su Yao's room, Lin Rui was still a little surprised when Su Changqing said these words so directly.
For a moment, she did not know how to respond to him.
At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Su Yao gently kicked Su Changqing under the table and said with an awkward expression,
"Dad, don't talk nonsense. Brother Lin Rui might already have someone he likes. Brother Lin Rui is so outstanding, I…I'm not worthy of him.”
Su Changqing pursed his lips."Don't belittle yourself so much. Yaoyao, you have to be more confident."”
Then, Su Changqing asked Lin Rui,"Xiao Rui, you…do you have someone you like?”
Lin Rui had many women, but he didn't have a real girlfriend.
Therefore, Lin Rui answered this question very straightforwardly,""Not yet."
After hearing Lin Rui's answer, the Su family's parents were pleasantly surprised.
Su Changqing hesitated for a moment and said with a smile,"That's good, that's good. Uncle Su was just joking. Please don't take it to heart. It's the matters of you young people. It's mainly up to you young people to decide. Uncle Su's greatest wish is…"
Before Su Changqing could finish, Su Yao hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth.
"Dad, let's eat first."
Su Yao knew very well that this kind of topic was not suitable to be discussed at the dinner table. Even if she liked Lin Rui very much, if Lin Rui could not like her, she could not force him.
Lin Rui actually had a very good feeling about Su Yao, but after all, the time they had interacted was too short. Moreover, he was not too willing to let Su Changqing get involved in this matter.
Therefore, Lin Rui raised his wine glass and began to drink with Su Changqing.
After a while, Lin Rui looked at his watch and said to Su Yao,""Yaoyao, turn on the TV. I want to watch TV for a while.”
Su Yao immediately turned on the television.
The TV channel was Shanghai News Channel.
The news channel was currently broadcasting the news of the Yanghe Development Zone Wanfeng International Real Estate Company being suspected of illegal construction and cutting corners.
After Su Yao and Su Changqing saw the news, they quickly focused their attention on the television screen.
"Dad…isn't this…"
"It's Xu Haonian's company." Su Changqing nodded.”
In the news, various images of the Guo Construction Committee's expert team investigating and inspecting the scene were exposed.
Zhang Dong, the leader of the expert group of the Guo Construction Committee, accepted an interview with the reporter.
Although he didn't explicitly disclose Wanfeng International's illegal behavior in the interview, he did give some hints.
His interview was very official, without any bias.
After Lin Rui finished reading the last few lines of Zhang Dong's interview, he did not continue reading.
Su Changqing and Su Yao continued to read the entire news. After reading it, their hearts were filled with joy.
Su Changqing expressed some resentment in dissatisfaction.
Su Yao stared at the photos that Lin Rui was arranging on the table.
Su Yao realized that Lin Rui had deliberately extracted some parts of Qin Meilan from those old photos.
Lin Juemin's photo was placed back into the envelope.
"Brother Lin Rui, are you…not going to keep these photos?”
Su Yao hesitated for a moment and pointed at the photo of Qin Meilan on the corner of the table.
Lin Rui shook his head gloomily.
"I'll keep my father's photo. Forget about the rest.”
