Chapter 1166: The Boss Is Out (34)

On her way back, the more Ming Shu thought about it, the more strange she felt. Pink diamonds were rare, and the price was very high… But she seemed to have seen pink diamonds like this before.

Yet Father and Mother Qiao never gave her pink diamonds…

Ming Shu went back and looked through the Host’s things, but found no similar pink diamonds.

“What are you looking for?” Yu Jing walked in to see the dressing table was a mess. “What happened to our mother? Just now when I arrived home, she pulled me aside and talked about something strange.”

Ming Shu stood before the dressing table and didn’t seem to hear Yu Jing.

“Wife?”

When Yu Jing approached her, Ming Shu turned her head. “Nothing. Keep your hands to yourself, go take a shower first.”

“Do I smell bad?”

“You stink.”

Yu Jing smelled himself. It’s not like that, I smell good…

“What were you thinking just now?”

“I was thinking…”

Zheng Guangming…

Right!

The necklace Zheng Guangming gave to me had pink diamonds. But where is the necklace?

Ming Shu swept a gaze over the table. “Where’s the necklace I put on the table last time?”

“What necklace?” Yu Jing pretended to know nothing.

“The one you asked me about last time.”

“I don’t know.”

Ming Shu squinted her eyes and called him, “Yu Jing.”

Yu Jing revealed a wronged expression. He moved slowly and took out the necklace from the depths of the drawer. “If you like it, I can give you a better one, I’ll buy you anything you want. But you shouldn’t have something given by others on you, especially by males…”

Ming Shu took the necklace box. “What about my dad?”

Yu Jing: “Well… Our dad is different, the gifts he gives should be respected.”

Ming Shu: “…”

Ming Shu was too lazy to argue with him. She opened the box. At the time Zheng Guangming gave it to her, she only took a glance at it, but she remembered there seemed to be a pink diamond on the pendant.

The pendant was studded with many diamonds, in a pistil shape, and the pink diamond was right in the middle of the others.

Ming Shu was silent. Was Zheng Guangming the murderer?

The gentle and cultured man who was like an old scholar and had been Qiao Cheng’s friend for many years?

She didn’t like that man much, though.

But Zheng Guangming and Qiao Cheng had been friends for several decades…

If Zheng Guangming was really the murderer, Ming Shu would think it too unreal.

“What’s wrong, wife?”

Ming Shu shook her head. “You sleep first, I’ll go talk to my dad for a bit.”

“You want to steal food with Dad again?” Yu Jing raised his eyebrows. “If you get caught by Mom, don’t blame me for not saving you.”

“Am I that kind of person?”

“Are you not?”

Ming Shu was speechless. She was a serious person and wouldn’t steal food casually, okay? Wasn’t it Mr. Qiao coming to her each time he wanted to destroy the evidence!

Although Mr. Qiao never succeeded, he never got bored of it.

“I have business to take care of, be good and sleep first.” Ming Shu put her arms around Yu Jing’s neck and kissed his lips lightly.

As she was about to leave, Yu Jing seized her waist. The tenderness in his eyes made Ming Shu unable to push his hands away.

Then she felt a darkness before her eyes. Yu Jing’s soft and tender kiss fell on her lips, making her forget to think.

Ming Shu’s body softened. Yu Jing held her and leaned against the table, prolonging the kiss.

This girl…

She was his.

She would always be his.

“Don’t…” Ming Shu got back her reason and gasped, pushing against his chest. “Don’t seduce me. Let’s take it slow.”

Ming Shu’s eyes were a little misty, and her lips were red like she’d applied rouge, as bright as dripping water. Her neck was slightly revealed, and the red mark under her collarbone had not disappeared, ambiguous and inviting.

“Facing the girl I like, how can I take it slow?” Yu Jing’s voice was lower than before, weighed with an undisguised desire.

What could he manage? She was like poison and as soon as he touched her, he couldn’t control his body.

“Go take a cold shower.” Ming Shu broke free from his arms and walked out quickly.

Yu Jing: “…”

He lowered his head slightly.

Until when do I have to take a shower?

She was feeling it just now, how could she sober up so quickly? Is it that I’m not charming enough?

…

Qiao Cheng was in his study. Ming Shu knocked on the door, then went in.

Probably Qiao Cheng thought it was Cui Yuhui, so he covered something with the stuff on the table in a hurry, with a guilty face.

Seeing it was Ming Shu, he breathed a sigh of relief. “Little Qi, you scared me, close the door, close the door!”

“Dad, what were you eating?” Why didn’t you invite me!

“Shh!” Qiao Cheng hushed and gave Ming Shu two green bean cakes. “Don’t tell your mother.”

“Share a half, then I won’t tell Mother.”

Qiao Cheng: “…”

Qiao Cheng looked at his green bean cakes, then looked at his own daughter. In the end, he shared a half with her. “You promised, don’t tell your mother.”

“You can’t digest so many sweet desserts, Mother is just looking out for your own good.”

“I know, I know, I didn’t eat too much.” Qiao Cheng revealed a guilty expression.

Qiao Cheng decided to change the topic. “Cough, cough, Little Qi, what do you want with me?”

“I want to know something about Zheng Guangming.”

Qiao Cheng scolded her immediately. “What Zheng Guangming, he’s your Uncle Zheng, how can you call his full name? Don’t be so impolite.”

Ming Shu naturally changed the way she called him. “I want to know something about Uncle Zheng.”

Qiao Cheng then nodded with satisfaction. “What do you want to know about him? Why are you interested in your Uncle Zheng suddenly?”

“I remember that he hasn’t gotten married, why?”

Qiao Cheng paused. “Your Uncle Zheng… He used to be married, but got divorced within a year, and since then, he has been all alone. We intended to introduce some people to him, but he said he liked someone and pursued the bachelor life. Why do you want to know about that?”

“Just curious.”

Qiao Cheng was a little suspicious but didn’t think too much. He sighed as he recalled those days. “When we were students, your Uncle Zheng got a lot of pursuers, at that time… Alas, it’s really good to be young.”

“Does Uncle Zheng have any special hobbies?”

“Special hobbies? He liked reading and travelling, he often spent a whole day reading novels. If he was on a trip, sometimes we wouldn’t see him for several months, even a whole year. He’s still like this now… Wait, Little Qi, why do you want to know about this?”

Why did he have a weird feeling?

Ming Shu smiled calmly. “I want to know about your past, Father.”

“You want to know about my past, so why do you keep asking about your Uncle Zheng? Let me tell you about my past accomplishments, come come come…”

After talking to Qiao Cheng, Ming Shu turned to Cui Yuhui and continued.

Finally she got the conclusion that when Qiao Yun died, Zheng Guangming was not in the city.

Ming Shu searched through Zheng Guangming’s moments. In the evening that Qiao Yun died, he posted a picture of a scenic spot from a good position.

But…

There was no one in the picture. It was easy to achieve such an alibi. He only needed to have someone take his phone and post a picture at that time.

Zheng Guangming’s moments were all about his travels and it seemed nothing was wrong.

Ming Shu checked the necklace again. There seemed to be scuff marks on the pink diamond… Ming Shu handed the necklace to the special investigation team and asked them to test it if the pink diamonds were the same.

If the pink diamond he gave to her was cut from the same diamond as that on Qiao Yun’s ear studs, then the two pink diamonds must be the same.

She wouldn’t believe such a coincidental thing would happen…

Ming Shu provided the clue, so the police told her the result.

They were not from the same pink diamond.
