Chapter 40: Last Night in Your Room

On the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the family is reunited.

At the beginning of the year, he took Assistant Zhou's car and drove all the way to Ji's house.

It's back to the familiar streets.

On both sides of the wide, shiny asphalt road, there are many villas, and the high red walls separate the whole community from the noisy crowds.

This area is the development area of the Ji family.

The Ji family's home is located in the deepest part of the villa area, covering an area of several thousand square meters of luxury villa garden in this place where every inch of land is valuable.

The Ji family has always had traditional festivals, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival, which theoretically require all members to return home to celebrate, but due to special reasons, members who are away from home, even if they can't return home in time, must express themselves in other places.

This year is especially special, not only the old lady and old man of the Ji family are here, but the eldest lady who has been recuperating abroad all the year round is also coming back, with the eldest grandson of the Ji family-

- The man I hadn't seen for so many years.

When the car drove to the underground parking lot, she heard Assistant Zhou warn, "When I go home in a while, I should be very cautious when I speak." ”

Shi Chu smiled bitterly.

For so many years, she has always been cautious, especially in the past few years, as she gradually grew up, she stood on the tightrope with one foot.

Astringency slowly slid down her throat, she swallowed slowly, lowering her eyelids, "Yes...... Mr. Ji, let you come and warn me?"

Assistant Zhou didn't answer and asked, "Why do you think so?"

"It's not hard to guess ......"

After the car stopped, Shi Chu lowered her head to reach the mooncake gift box, and a few strands of hair were scattered along her smooth cheeks, and one was hanging on her long eyelashes, which she pushed away.

"Mr. Ji, he has never been ...... Is it the one who cares most about the old lady's emotions?"

Assistant Zhou hit the steering wheel, drove the car into the parking space steadily, the wheels fit the parking line, not bad at all, he got out of the car, went around to the back seat, and opened the door for Shi Chu.

"Miss Shi, Mr. is also very concerned about you. ”

At the beginning of the day, there was no comment.

She followed Assistant Zhou through the garden of the Ji family, stood in front of the red carpet at the main entrance, and wanted to push the door.

The door of the Ji family was hidden, and a half-old and half-vigorous voice floated out from the crack in the door, "Has Lan Zhi arrived?"

The old housekeeper of the Ji family was the next step, and he replied slowly, "The eldest lady is still on the plane now, and she will only arrive in the evening." ”

The old lady inside the door, dressed in a bright body, with a cane in her hand, walked step by step to the depths of the hall, and the crutches still rattled on the carpeted floor.

"If it weren't for that back then, my eldest grandson wouldn't have lived abroad all year round......"

The old lady's voice paused, "Speaking of which, my eldest grandson's age should be the same as the beginning of the time." ”

The old butler smiled softly beside him, "How come, the eldest young master, he is still a few years older than Miss Shi." ”

The old lady smiled with satisfaction, "It would be nice if it wasn't the girl at the beginning of the year who stayed with me, but my eldest grandson." ”

said, sighing lightly, "Liangyan too, the mother is not a good thing, what can the daughter who is born?"

"Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice can make holes, and the truth is true after all. ”

The old housekeeper responded beside him, "What the old lady said is very true, but with Mr. Ji's temper, I'm afraid it's ......."

Shi Chu quietly lowered his eyebrows, and the hand that wanted to push the door hung in the air, only the width of an index finger from the cold doorknob.

A centimeter less than a distance.

She didn't have the courage to push the door open.

In the other hand, he carried a moon cake gift box, with a thin red line at the crook of his fingers, weighing three points.

"Miss Shi," just as she was standing in front of the door and hesitating, she suddenly heard Assistant Zhou's voice, gentle and polite, "Why don't you stand in front of the door and don't go in?"

Shi Chu was shocked.

Inside the door seemed to hear the same movement from outside the door, and suddenly the silence was silenced, replaced by the old lady's dignified questioning, "Who is standing outside?"

The blood on Shi Chu's face faded a little, stayed in place for a moment, gritted his teeth, pushed open the door crampedly, and walked in.

The entrance hall of the Ji family is extraordinarily spacious, with a high ceiling above the roof, and light spills in through the glass windows, which is bright for a while.

Since the old lady returned home, Ji Liangyan sent people to spread a thick layer of carpet in the huge foyer, and the appearance and pattern were all according to the old lady's liking, for fear that this old lady who was old would accidentally fall out of something.

When she first entered the door, the old lady sat on the carved chair facing the main seat, holding a sip of tea in her hand, her wrinkled eyelids drooping, and her eyes glued to the ripples in the center of the teacup.

There's a tea stalk standing there.

At that moment, it suddenly occurred to me that the Ji family especially likes to drink tea, the old lady likes it, not to mention Ji Liangyan, who has always been tea, and there is always a faint fragrance of tea on his body.

It's probably the same lineage.

The old lady took a sip slowly, put it on the table, and her voice was cold and hard, "Who else should I be, it turned out to be you, what does it look like to hide at the door timidly?"

"I don't know, I thought it was my Ji family who was worried about thieves. ”

Shi Chu pursed the corners of his lips, lowered his head, and stopped.

The mooncake gift box she was carrying in her hand was extremely heavy, pressing on her palm, like a scale that had already been bent.

"To ......" has groveled for so many years, so that the words of apology are about to rush out of her mouth subconsciously, but fortunately she choked the bud.

Shi Chu bit his lower lip, lowered his eyes, carefully raised his head and arms, and half-lifted the Mid-Autumn Festival moon cake gift box, "Old lady, happy festivals, happy festivals, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts and gifts." ”

The interior of the foyer is extremely quiet.

Since the sound of stumbling at the beginning, all that remains in the room is the sound of the tea lid clapping the teacup, softly, thinly.

No one came to pick up the gifts.

The old housekeeper, who is usually the most good at looking at the eyes and acting on weekdays, also stood beside the old lady with a smile, like the calmest bystander.

This can be regarded as the old lady's instructions.

Shi Chu's fingers tightened, and his finger bones were faintly blue and white, and he clenched the moon cake gift box in his hand and raised his head slowly.

If the old lady didn't react, she put it in the gift storage by herself.

The Ji family has a big business, and there is probably no shortage of her.

The moment she met the old lady's gaze, the old lady moved.

Holding the hand of the old butler beside him, he got up from the main seat and stepped down from the ground with one hand, stepping in the direction of the beginning, stepping on the crimson carpet step by step, without a sound.

The old lady looked pleased.

"I'm really sorry for you, I'll come back when I come back, what kind of gifts do you bring?"

At the beginning of the day, his eyes lit up.

At that moment, it was as if the sunlight in the room was gathering in her eyes, and her pupils trembled faintly in them.

This was the first time in all these years that the old lady had spoken to her in such a pleasant manner.

She pursed the corners of her lips and took a big step forward, a little excited, "This, this is what I should, after all, after so many years......"

At the beginning of the day, the voice suddenly paused.

The old lady did not stop as she passed her.

Instead, he walked behind her, like a gust of wind.

The sound of footsteps and crutches rubbing against the carpet came into her eardrum from behind, and it didn't stop.

Shi Chu turned away.

There was one more person in the foyer.

The man was wearing small black and shiny leather shoes, a few centimeters of heels, a bag in the crook of his arm and a waist socket, with delicate makeup, and his full red lips shining slightly under his eyes.

Mrs. Ji.

She was followed by two servants, carrying large bags and small bags behind her, panting behind Mrs. Ji, while she walked in front of the old lady as if she was nothing, smiling slightly.

"Mother, where is this, it's rare to have a reunion day, how can you not send something to honor and be filial?"

The coaxing old lady smiled, curling the corners of her lips, "It was not wrong to let Liang Yan marry you in the first place, it is because you can speak." ”

Shi Chu pursed the corners of his lips and turned away.

Carrying the things in his hand, he slowly walked to the corner, and put the gift box into a group of gift boxes in the Ji family.

The originally dazzling red gift box, after being thrown into the gift box pile, was as usual, and even the gift of Shi Chu himself was difficult to distinguish at a glance.

Standing quietly behind the two of them, listening to the old lady's greetings to Mrs. Ji, she was bored, took a step back, turned around and wanted to meet her room, but heard someone calling her name behind her back.

"At the beginning of the day. ”

Shi Chu's footsteps paused slightly, turned around, and asked respectfully, "What do you ...... Things?"

It was Mrs. Ji who asked the question.

She put her hands around her chest and looked Shi Chu up and down, her expression full of impatience, "Where is the cool flame?"

"He didn't come home last night and was with you?"

"You two, what are you doing outside? in the same bed?"

I was stunned.

At that moment, she seemed to see the old lady's gaze slowly drifting from Mrs. Ji's body to hers, with a thorough sharpness.

She was beating a drum in her heart.

The Ji family has a lot of family rules, and since the old lady took charge of the house, several more have been added, one of which is to prohibit the maid from having an affair with the young master of the Ji family.

When he was still young at the beginning, he was picked up by Mrs. Ji, and repeatedly emphasized, "Remember your own identity, if you find such signs, get out of the Ji family for me." ”

If it weren't for her mother's relics still being held by the Ji family, she would rather not have this identity.

Shi Chu's expression was gloomy, and he seemed speechless.

How so?

said that last night, Ji Liangyan did live with her, in the same house and in a different house?

The old lady snorted coldly, her expression was full of disgust, "At a young age, I haven't learned the good ones, these crooked ways to seduce men have learned a lot of things, such a person who harbors evil intentions, my Ji family ......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Assistant Zhou, who was always following Shi Chu but standing aside on the phone, say, "Old lady." ”

Politely bowed to the old lady, "Mr. Ji has a few meetings today, and he will go home later." ”

The voice was neither humble nor arrogant, as if he was reporting an innocuous business, but it indirectly cleared up the relationship between Ji Liangyan and Shi Chu.

Subconsciously, Shi Chu, who was standing on the side, looked at Assistant Zhou, but what he thought about the most in his heart was, could it be that Ji Liangyan had already predicted and knew that Mrs. Ji would mention this matter, so he arranged for Assistant Zhou to come back with her?

Sure enough, when the old lady heard Assistant Zhou's words, her expression softened, knowing that Ji Liangyan was just working, so she didn't ask too much.

"Since you're Coolflame's personal assistant, you should remind you more and don't get all your attention into your work. ”

Assistant Zhou took a step back and bowed slightly, "The lesson of the old lady is that I will definitely convey the old lady's words to Mr. Ji when I turn around." ”

The old lady is satisfied.

Immediately after that, I heard Assistant Zhou continue to speak, "I'm sorry, old lady, Mrs. Ji, Miss Shi, my task today is to deliver Miss Shi safely, and now that the task is completed, let me leave first for the time being." ”

When the old lady heard this, she waved her hand casually, "Okay, let's go." ”

Assistant Zhou bowed slightly to the few people present, and the people slowly retreated, and when they were about to walk to the entrance of the hall, they were stopped again.

Or Mrs. Ji.

She squinted her eyes slightly when she faced Assistant Zhou, and her gaze turned to Assistant Zhou, and her posture seemed to be unrelenting, "You still haven't answered the question head-on, where was Liangyan last night?"

At the beginning of the time, he took a step back, reduced his sense of existence as much as possible, and looked at his nose and nose.

The number of days that Ji Liangyan didn't go home for the night has passed, but only last night was asked by Mrs. Ji like this, and she was still in front of the old lady, except that Mrs. Ji got the news of last night, Shi Chu didn't think about it.

She saw Assistant Zhou also stop.

Turning around, he seemed hesitant to answer Mrs. Ji's question.

The atmosphere in the hall froze for a moment.

Until the beginning of the opening of the hour.

But not to Mrs. Ji.

"Mr. Zhou," her voice was still dry, and under such a stagnant atmosphere, every flaw in her voice was magnified.

"Last night, thank you for taking care of me. ”

As he spoke, Shi Chu's back was against the wall, slightly bent, and he bowed faintly to Assistant Zhou, as if he was bowing.

Seeing this, Assistant Zhou hurriedly took a few steps forward and held Shi Chu's body, afraid that she would really bow down, "Miss Shi, this is my job, you don't have to do this." ”

Mrs. Ji stood next to her, watching the movements of the two people, as if she was watching a play, her expression was strange, "Last night, you two ......"

As if finding that something was not appropriate for such an occasion, she suddenly fell silent and turned to the old lady.

The old lady was very interested in this matter.

Mrs. Ji pondered for a moment, then waved her hand, and a smile reluctantly pulled out at the corner of her lips, "Mother, I am also concerned about Shi Chu." ”

"At the beginning, I was a girl, and I didn't understand some things, so I would inevitably suffer outside. ”

Shi Chu listened to Mrs. Ji's words quietly, his face expressionless.

It would have been reasonable a few months ago, but now ......

Mrs. Ji is afraid that she has forgotten who made her completely understand these things.

After all, it wasn't herself.

She raised her head, her eyes shining in the sun, shining, as if the water vapor inside had frozen, spreading out slender ice threads, pointing directly at Mrs. Ji, motionless.

Mrs. Ji was shocked.

She is now the Ji family, and she knows the rules of the Ji family best, if the old lady knows what she asked Shi Chu to do that night, I am afraid that neither of them will be able to stay.

Hearing this, Shi Chu stood aside and said slowly, "Mrs. Ji, thank you for your reminder and reminder, I will remember and remember." ”

The voice, half hoarse and half dry, probably just squeezed out of the throat, the air flow was too small and stumbled.

In Mrs. Ji's ears, it was sonorous and powerful.

Subconsciously, she lowered her eyes and looked at Shi Chu.

At the beginning, he didn't say much, silently packed up the gifts at his feet, and went upstairs.

At noon, Ji Liangyan was not there, not even the eldest lady who had planned to come back.

There were a few people from the Ji family around the dinner table, and when they were eating at noon, no one called Shi Chu, Ji Liangyan was not there, she didn't even have a chance to go to the table, and at about one o'clock at noon, she heard a servant come up and knock on the door of Shi Chu's room.

"I'm busy today, I don't have your food, let's go to the kitchen to find some by myself. ”

At that time, Shi Chu was standing in front of the windowsill, wearing headphones, practicing reading and pronunciation over and over again, and when he heard the sound, he took off his headphones and lowered his eyebrows.

She had known it would be like this.

When Ji Liangyan was away, it was always like this.

When I went downstairs at the beginning, the entrance hall of the Ji family was very lively, and some big families in the nearby villa area came to visit after tea and dinner, and the moon cakes were sent in a row, and they were about to fill a half of the foyer.

Mrs. Ji's son likes to eat sweets, and the whole person is lying on the moon cake pile and rolling, the rice is not delicious, holding saliva, and opening the moon cake boxes one by one, but just one bite, then frowning and throwing aside.

The old lady stood next to her and wanted to hug the hoop, "Don't be in a hurry to eat these first, you can eat as much as you want when the time comes, let's go eat first." ”

The circle is not dry, stretching his waist, and he is clamoring to eat moon cakes.

The old lady was helpless, and put the child into the moon cake pile again.

Mrs. Ji followed the old lady's side, looking at the child without a match, but in fact, her attention was on the old lady, flattering her, "Mother, I haven't seen how you eat moon cakes in recent years, what filling do you like, I'll find it for you?"

The old lady shook her hand, "Among these mooncakes sent, I probably can't find the flavor I like." ”

"My old woman is old, her mouth is picky, and she doesn't like her general tastes very much. ”

Mrs. Ji smiled beside her, "Mother said, what kind of flavor do you like, I'll let the maid pick it for you?"

The old lady turned around and sat elegantly on the sofa, the corners of her lips faintly hooked, "Coffee green tea." ”

Mrs. Ji's smile froze, "Coffee...... This taste, the mother's taste, is really unique. ”

Having said that, in private, she made a difficulty, just looking for coffee or green tea, she could find it, but only coffee and green tea, she had never even heard of it.

asked the maid to look for it in the mooncake gift bag, and they all shook their heads.

"Madam, there are no mooncakes with this taste. ”

Mrs. Ji hesitated for a moment, and then ordered, "Contact the cake master for a few months, if you don't have this taste, you can temporarily customize a few for the old lady." ”

As soon as the order was passed down, I heard the old lady's voice sounding faintly, "If you don't have this flavor of moon cakes, forget it, and it won't be very delicious when it's freshly made." ”

Shi Chu stood aside and watched everything that had passed.

The old lady looks like this now, which is really familiar.

Thinking about it carefully, it is a bit similar to Ji Liangyan last night, especially the frowning appearance.

It's really a mother and son.

Shi Chu turned around, the corners of his lips bent, his shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly, the whole person hid in the corner, laughing secretly, but he still had to try to be as forbearing, and his originally fair face turned red by half.

After looking for about ten minutes, she didn't find out the taste that the old lady liked, Mrs. Ji was in a hurry, and while comforting the old lady, she urged the people under her hands, "There are so many moon cakes, you can't even find a green tea coffee flavor?"

After one of the servants was reprimanded by Mrs. Ji, he was dissatisfied, and when he saw Shi Chu standing in the corner, he took advantage of Mrs. Ji's inattention, and threw his anger at Shi Chu's body, "What are you doing? Everyone else is looking for moon cakes, so you are idle? Standing in the corner, you can find something?"

At that time, Shi Chu had just stopped laughing, lowered his head, coughed lightly, and gently glanced over the mooncake gift boxes piled up like a hill, and said softly, "Because I, I can find the flavor that the old lady likes." ”

The servant was stunned for a moment, and then spoke viciously, "There are so many people, you can't find something that you can't find for more than ten minutes, can you find it?"

Shi Chu nodded.

"Okay," the servant, who had always looked unpleasant at the beginning, clapped his hands and walked out of the mooncake gift box.

Standing beside Mrs. Ji, she looked at Shi Chu half defiantly, "Mrs. Ji, just now Miss Shi said that she can find the taste that the old lady likes, so why don't we meddle in finding it again?"

At the beginning, he frowned faintly.

The servant's complaint quickly attracted the attention of Mrs. Ji and the old lady.

Mrs. Ji raised her head and stared at Shi Chu, her eyes shining with a little light.

She could find what so many servants couldn't find, and even if she could find it, how could she know that it would be the old lady's favorite taste?

If the old lady doesn't like it, her disgust for the beginning of the time will only increase, and if she plays with the old lady in the future, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

Mrs. Ji smiled on the surface, "Since Shi Chu said that he could find it, why don't you go and find it?"

"If you can really find the taste that the old lady likes, today's encounter is not in vain. ”

At the beginning of the time, he pursed the corners of his lips slightly.

Her gaze slowly looked at Mrs. Ji, then turned to the old lady, and nodded gently, "Okay." ”

Saying this, she looked at the piles of mooncake gift boxes on the ground, but she was not in a hurry to find them, but observed for a moment.

"Why don't you look for it?" Standing for a moment, Shi Chu heard Mrs. Ji's urging, "If you can't find something, it's fine, it's just something that can't be done in the future, don't boast about Haikou anymore, this matter is ...... today."

It's time to move.

She carefully bypassed the tip of the moon cake gift box, stood in it, bent down her thin back, rubbed it in the gift box for a while, and took out one of them, smiling.

"Madame, old lady, this, coffee green tea flavor. ”

Mrs. Ji was stunned.

turned to look at the old lady, but saw the old lady squinting slightly, "Take it and take a look." ”

In the red moon cake gift box, there are about 6 neatly placed, each of which has four conspicuous bronzing words of coffee and green tea written on the packaging bag.

I really found this girl.

The old lady's eyes changed as she looked at Shi Chu.
