Chapter 20: Light and Darkness (2)
In the afternoon, Yan Jiujiu waited for Jing Shilang to send the documents over, and then went to the office to find someone, and the building was already empty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When I went downstairs and walked out of the business gate, I saw Yuanshan respectfully standing in front of the shiny and magnificent classic car, and saw Yan Jiujiu and his party walking leisurely, and Yuanshan bent down to open the door.
She tacitly sat in the car.
"Why isn't the president in the company all afternoon?" asked Yan Jiujiu casually.
The car drove slowly, and Yuan Shan turned around and replied with a smile.
"The young master received a call from the pharmaceutical factory in the concession in the morning, and rushed over in the afternoon, saying that the medicinal herb factory had something important to discuss with the supplier. ”
"Hmm..... Oh..."Yan Jiujiu nodded, his face did not change and his heart did not beat, but his heart was full of doubts.
In the past, she only knew that Jing Shilang was often active in the French Concession, although she was not like in Los Angeles, she could be regarded as a well-known No. 1 person, but she thought that he had brought the business of commerce and trade to the past, but when did she start to get involved in the medicinal herb business?
She didn't know anything.
No one ever mentioned it.
But isn't the medicinal herb business in the French Concession monopolized by the Gu family? The Gu family and the Jing family are friends and enemies, in order to extend the branches and leaves outside the French Concession, they do not hesitate to take risks to take the Jin family, and Jing Shilang saved her, the Gu family's plan failed It can be said that they lost everything, not only did they not get the benefits, but they also touched the reverse scales of the Jing family, and Jing Shilang's wrist would definitely uproot the Gu family, but she was strange that he had not made any moves so far.
Yan Jiujiu felt that there seemed to be a thread of clues in the undercurrent.
Shi Lang suddenly crossed the day in front of her to see her, carrying Gu's medicinal herbs....
She frowned and looked out the window at the bustling street.
The Gu family is ruthless and scheming, and they will cut down the grass and eradicate the roots of anyone who hinders their profits, nothing more than her, it has been more than half a month since her injuries healed, and she goes to and from work every day, followed by guards, bustling Los Angeles traffic, quiet morning, lively afternoon, night lights under the staggered planning, sheng song and night dance.....
Everything couldn't have been more ordinary.
There was nothing going on in the Gu family.
It is no accident that Jing Shilang is carrying the Gu family's medicinal materials, he is an extremely cautious and keen person, he clearly knows that the Gu family's murderous intentions have risen, and he is like an arrow on the string for the Jing and Jin families, and the knife is in the sheath......
And now he is still as stable as Mount Tai in the French Concession, and what happened that night is like a black cat that flies silently on the wall in the dark night, disappearing without a trace.
She suddenly remembered those eyes that were as black as ink, and subconsciously trembled, her long hands were crossed and clenched, and her jade knuckles were slightly white.
He was really going to kill her.
Yan Jiujiu suppressed the tremor in his heart, took a deep breath, and fixed his thoughts between Gu Jing's two families.
Everything was as if nothing had happened, but he went one step further and entered the circle of medicinal materials involved in the Gu family.
Yan Jiujiu's gaze became deeper.
Then all the contradictions point to a clue ....
The Jing family joined forces with the Gu family.
She glanced at the distant mountains in the car mirror, and didn't know how deep this kid knew....
"Far Mountain" Yan Jiujiu wrung the curtains casually, "Why didn't you go with your cousin? It is said that the desserts of the foreigners in the French Concession are very delicious..."
Yan Jiujiu changed his gossip and homely tone.
She's a cousin, and her cousin cares about her cousin.
"Hey, what can I do when the young master is doing business?" Yuan Shan spread his hands, "Not to mention the food of the foreigners, if the young master knew that I only cared about eating, he would not take me there..."
Yan Jiujiu picked up the conversation unhurriedly, "What can be important, it's just to use some pastries, how much time can be delayed?"
"Miss Biao doesn't know, this is a medicinal herb factory, there are a lot of things to do all year round, but the young master personally checks ..... it."
"This medicinal herb is just to buy when you are sick, to eat when you buy it, and to see how effective it is to eat it, where are the things that are done? I think the work is fake, but it is just to look at those foreign girls, and I want to cover up the ....." Yan Jiujiu sighed and said sourly.
Yuanshan listened to the sweat, he and Adin are the most favored by the young master on weekdays, and now Adin was sent to the Jin Mansion, the young master has instructed him to pay more attention to Miss Table if he is not there, and now he is the general manager of Jingtai Commerce, which shows that Miss Table's status in the young master's heart should not be underestimated, in addition to this Miss Table's pure heart, there is no posture for the next person, he and Adin have long regarded her as the young grandmother of the Jing family.
Therefore, in the face of Yan Jiujiu's jealous words, he panicked, for fear that the future young grandmother would misunderstand the young master and become suspicious, if he stabbed in front of the young master, it would inevitably not make him look good.
"Young grandmother...."Yuan Shan cried out in frustration.
"...."Nameless jumped up suddenly, "Good fellow! I haven't settled accounts with Adin yet!..... Now I'm going to settle the account with you! Who instigated you to call me a young grandmother?"
The more Yan Jiujiu thought about it, the more angry she became, she was a girl who had not left the cabinet, and she was called by her young grandmother all day long, but she was afraid that those who wanted to propose marriage in the future would be timid!
Suddenly, she was stunned for a moment, what did she want to do with such a thing as marrying?
Of course, Yuan Shan would not tell Yan Jiujiu that when Young Master Yan and Ah Ding were instructed, there was a young grandmother on his left hand and a young grandmother on his right hand....
It's easy to hear, and it's naturally catchy!
"It's... This...."Yuan Shan smiled, "Miss Cousin, I made a mistake for a while..."
"Slip of the tongue? Where did the slip of the tongue come from?" Yan Jiujiu pondered, "I don't think it looks like a slip of the tongue when Adin shouted like this last time!"
As he spoke, he pulled the ear of the glowing man.
"Don't give me a muffled calculation in my stomach, and have a virtue with your young master!
"Ouch ouch...."Yuan Shan hurriedly begged for mercy, "Less.... No.... Miss Table! It's really a small slip of the tongue....."
"Hmph! If it weren't for Adin's loyalty, I would have believed it!" Yan Jiujiu narrowed his eyes, "Now I can see you through! You and your young master are grasshoppers on the same thread, say! Did he make you shout!"
Seeing that Yuanshan was still hesitating, Yan Jiujiu felt that it was not decisive enough, and the ears pinched in his hands turned again.
The distant mountains were sweating in pain, but they didn't dare to say anything, presumably their ears were already like the boiled pig's ears, red and big.
"Miss Table.... Really..."
"Miss.... Here we are...."
Chu Qing on the side looked at the bloodshot ears that were twisted, couldn't bear to look directly, and pushed Yan Jiujiu and whispered.
Yan Jiujiu glanced at the Jin Mansion with glazed four-corner electric lights.
Why is there only a corridor light on the second and third floors? The fourth and fifth floors are even darker, and when the eyes return to the door, there are two guards, and they are even more silent.
"Why isn't my mother at home?"
"Mrs. Jin was taken to the house by his wife in the afternoon to play mahjong with the wives of the neighboring mansions....." Yuanshan said in pain while covering his ears.
"Hmph! Play mahjong! Your young master thinks about how to trick my family into your house every day!"
Yan Jiujiu glanced at Yuanshan, pushed him out with the hand that grabbed his ear, got out of the car, and walked towards Jingfu angrily.
Yuan Shan covered his ears, but he didn't dare to say more: "Miss Cousin.... It's really not my young master.... Mrs. also wants you and the young master to take care of business affairs all day long, Mrs. Jin is bored at home, don't say that she is playing mahjong, and it is okay to have someone to talk to and relieve boredom....."
Who will take care of the business with him?
It's as if it's a family.
Angry, but think about it, she has no leisure time to accompany her mother every morning and evening, and her aunt and mother have a deep affection, and it is better to be with each other....
Thinking that she sighed secretly, and was about to cross the threshold, but she always felt a sense of imminent discomfort, she turned her head, and subconsciously glanced behind her, Chu Qing's immature eyes were staring at her.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Yan Jiujiu stepped into it with one foot, it turned out to be Chu Qing's girl.....
"Miss Cousin, please come here!"
"I'm not going to the academy! tell me where my mother is!"
Yan Jiujiu led the road to the distant mountains without good air.
The distant mountains should be, without the slightest panic just now, and led Yan Jiujiu to another path.
Yan Jiujiu was angry, and saw the little guy on the side of the Yuanshan branch walking towards the road he was walking just now, thinking that he was reporting to Jing Shilang! What did she say? If she didn't show some courage, she was afraid that she would be led away by the nose by this calculating master and servant!
Righteous coaxing, Yan Jiujiu frowned for no reason, she subconsciously looked around, the maid and the woman were all happy colors, pavilions, strange rocks, everything was as usual, there was no color, but she just felt restless.... I always feel like there is a feeling of pins and needles in my back, as if I ..... It's as if you're staring straight at her....
She could almost imagine those eyes, domineering, sharp and sharp.....
I followed her closely.
Yan Jiujiu's face was as usual, and he looked around without moving, as if he wanted to find out the pair of well-hidden eyes.
In this way, the east and west said that the dining room, at this time, the Jingfu family of four and their mother had already sat down, and the camphor wood on the left painted gold lady stroked the qin screen behind the drum music in unison, and the ears were full of joy.
"Cousin!" the man with cold eyebrows looked at her with a faint smile, "I've been waiting for my cousin in the academy for a while, and I haven't checked my cousin's homework today..."
"........" Yan Jiujiu quickly reacted, "The scenery on my aunt's mansion is exquisite, with a unique natural interest, no less than the royal gardens of the past, and I can't help but look at it in a da.....ze."
Looking at Yan Jiujiu's delicate appearance, Jing Shilang's smile became even stronger.
Yan Jiujiu's heart tightened, she was most afraid that he would not be in a hurry, as if he would win everything.
"If that's the case, it's no wonder cousin...."
Yan Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief and sat beside the waving mother with a smile.
"It's not too late to wait for dinner, I'm just going to talk to my cousin about the book Jane.Ayre....."
Yan Jiujiu looked up at the man with a cold look but a smile in his eyes, she suddenly thought of the snow lotus on the tip of the ice cliff......
