Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 46

When Mrs. Lu returns with the ointment, Jenny is no longer in the living room.

"Miss Jenny said there was something urgent so she needed to go out. She let you enjoy the meal."

Although the servant explains, Mrs. Lu still feels a little worried in her heart, "How do you do things? Don't you see Jenny hurt? How can you let her get out?"

"It was Miss Jenny who insisted on leaving here. She didn't have time to wait for Driver Chen and took the taxi at the door."

"No. She might not go far now. Get the car ready now. I'll follow her to have a look."

The maid hurriedly stops, "Mrs. Lu, the doctor will come to have an examination for you in the afternoon. You can't leave now."

"I'm fine and very healthy,"

"No, no. The last time when you were dizzy, we were all frightened. We can't afford this responsibility." The maid suggests. "What about calling the master and let him to have a look."

This suggestion is good. Mrs. Lu glances at the maid quite appreciatively. It is time to have the pregnancy check-up. "Go on. Let Driver Chen follow her firstly. Then call the master. You just tell him that this afternoon Jenny is quite uncomfortable and she is going out now. If he has time, he can take Jenny to the hospital to have a pregnancy check-up by the way. "

...

In the Left Bank Coffee near Jade Picture, Frankie sits in a secluded corner and wears a casual suit. He raises his wrist to look at the watch. He is also reading the accounting documents in his hand, frowning with seriousness.

Jenny arrives soon. Her clothes have not changed. She still wears leisure clothes and face masks while she doesn’t have make-up. So she is not easy to be recognized. When she comes from the door, the lady at the door looks at her frequently.

"I’m here." Frankie stands up and waves his hand.

Jenny stops to find him and hurried over.

"There is seldom somebody comes to this cafe. The location is far away and a blind spot. You don't have to be too nervous. You can sit down and have a nice talk."

Frankie looks still the same, explaining the surroundings to her first to make Jenny feel at ease.

But just these words make her more uncomfortable when she hears that.

Jenny frowns, still not taking off the mask just in case.

"I order the juice for you. Do you want the same food? Juice and Black Forest cake?" Frankie's tone expresses that they seem familiar as if nothing has happened between them.

"No need." Jenny sneers. "I'll leave after you finish your words. Don't take the trouble."

"What do you mean by what you said on the phone?"

Things that happen three years ago have almost come to a close. At this time, there should always be a reason for mentioning it again. .

After all, it is the painful thing in her heart, which cannot be easily mentioned.

"It's a long story. Don't be anxious."

The waiter comes to serve the dishes. Jenny lowers her head, using the brim to blocks her face. Frankie lowers his volume a little bit.

"I just knew the exact news yesterday. Last week, the company assigned me and a few salesmen to have a meal with investors. Among the investors, there was a manager of Light Winery. I drank with him and talked about the domestic liquor making skills. We mentioned Jin's Wine of those years."

Frankie moves the Black Forest cake to Jenny. While talking, he wipes the dessert fork again with a tissue and passes it over.

Jenny turns her head and takes a small silver spoon from the wooden box, avoiding his sights.

Frankie freezes for a moment and withdraws his hand embarrassingly. He put down the fork. However his eyes still shows the feeling of guilt.

He is sorry for Jenny. There is nothing to explain. Her attitude is a matter of course.

"He said that Jin's Wine was in a position that the stronger you were, the more haters you had. If there wasn’t someone coveting wine-making skills, it wouldn't end up as a scapegoat."

Jenny freezes, "Scapegoat?"

"Yes, he talked about scapegoat so I felt something was wrong,"

Three years ago, before that incident happened, her family was a famous century-old wine shop in Xicheng. But they remained low-key. From the big boss to the small employees, they all had a peaceful life. Or you could say they had no desire to make progress. For the product, they focused on wine-making skills and had almost no attention to outer packaging and advertising.

Distributors of Jin's Wine were all old customers. Because Jenny's father, Karen, was obsessed in wine and was very strict in the requirements of brewing raw materials. The cost became very high at that time. Jin's Wine had to adjust the selling price to balance the interests. This behavior caused resentment among distributors.

Later, Karen was jointly reported by several inferior distributors with all the complete evidences. Whether it was an unreasonable contract or the unclear accounts that appeared inexplicably in their private accounts, it all turned that lawsuit into an irrevocable accusation.

The accusation was for the Jin’s Wine.

When the police placed the cold handcuffs on her father's hands, Jenny had just signed a contract with the new company and got her first own movie as a heroine. She joyfully took the contract and went home to announce good news. However, she saw a mess in the house.

Her mother, Niver, threw all the things before the police and gave her father a slap, accusing him of doing such unethical things.

There was fabulous corruption and bribery. He also accumulated wealth through illegal means. The new product had quality problems. At the grand wedding of the daughter of the famous diplomat, Jakson Dong, a foreign guest died after drinking. This matter became significant. Allen Yan, who was the branch manager in charge of sales at the capital, was got involved in immediately. He was also Jenny's uncle, her mother's only brother.

So Jenny's mother's family directly called the phone and broke off the relationship with her daughter, insisting that it was the son-in-law who harmed their good and steady-going son.

Later, it was found that Allen and Karen jointly took bribes. But Karen had the main responsibility while Allen was only sentenced for five years as an accomplice. Jenny's father was the prime culprit so he was sentenced to life in prison.

From the beginning to the end, from the police to public opinion, from Jenny’s biological mother, everyone believed the evidence. All pointed to Karen that he took bribes and reduced product quality inspections. Finally, he risked big things for the sake of small ones. Then people died because of that. All the evidence was related seriously and there was nothing worthy of doubts.

Karen confessed it all.

When it was litigated on the court, Jenny was disappointed at the man on the dock for the first time. He didn't even have words to defend himself. All he could do was looking at his daughter, who wore mask and sunglasses under the stage, with full meaningless guilt.

The man who used to support her world was her most admired father.

Such a person had become an indirect killer of the foreign guest who died by alcoholism. She couldn’t accept it for a long time.

But the evidence was certain and even her mother believed it. Why did she not believe it?

"The batch of wines that caused troubles at that time coincidentally was all transported to the wedding." Frankie's tone has something meaningful.

"How would it have such a coincidence? The wines of inferior quality were all sent from the winery of Xicheng. But all the ten cases of wine appeared in that wedding. Even if there was a little mistake at that wedding, it would cause a sensation in the city. "
