Zhao Anyue was surprised to see Shen Xingye here. So he hurriedly explained that he came to help Tao Xuexin take care of the flowers and plants.

"Then Hoshino, why did you come here?"

"I came over to see my father. ”

Zhao Anyue sighed softly, but she could easily judge from Shen Xingye's slightly lost and depressed expression - he must have been rejected again as before, right?

She also didn't understand it, Shen Xingye obviously couldn't see anything, why did Shen Xiaqing resist meeting her son so much.

"So, are you going to wait for me? I'll help the third aunt soak these flowers and plants into the pot. Wait a minute, are you going to go to work or go home, I'll send you, right?"

"No need, Secretary Lu came with me. She would drive me straight back to the office and have something to attend to. Shen Xingye raised his hand and teased Zhao Anyue's bangs, and said, "You should go back early." ”

"I see. Zhao Anyue nodded, but the moment Shen Xingye mentioned Lu Ya, there was an indescribable feeling of discomfort in her heart.

Then at this moment, the maid Liu's mother suddenly interjected: "Grandma, this is some of the wife's common clothes." Ask me to help her prepare it before, and you can bring it with you if you have time. When you visit her in the hospital, give it to her. ”

Zhao Anyue nodded in agreement, and at the same time took the bag of clothes and daily necessities.

"It's inconvenient for you to carry, I'll take it. Shen Xingye said, raised his hand and intercepted it, "In the evening, I will go to see the third aunt when I get off work, and you go back to rest early." ”

A simple conversation is like a small detail in daily life that doesn't need to be deliberately moved.

Looking at Shen Xingye's transformation step by step, sometimes Zhao Anyue was really afraid that he was dreaming.

Probably because she knew better than anyone else in her heart - Shen Xingye cared more and more about her, not so much because he couldn't help but like her, but because he was more and more distrustful of people other than himself.

He was fed up with the strifes of interest and the evil of kinship, and he was afraid of being slaughtered in a world around him without a little light.

Even if it wasn't her Zhao Anyue, as long as it was a stranger who had nothing to do with the Shen family and no conflict of interest, he could trust it. For example, a brother like Ling Jue, or ...... Lu Ya, who has only been in office for a few days?

She has only been in the company for a few days, and Shen Xingye has even brought people over to places like the Shen family's old house?

Zhao Anyue was a little distracted, and felt that she was too hypocritical. The hand that passed it suddenly loosened. There was a click, and the bag fell to the ground.

A shiny thing slipped out of the depths of the bag and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Zhao Anyue was afraid that she would break Tao Xuexin's things, so she hurriedly bent down to pick it up.

But it didn't matter if she picked it up, the moment her eyes fell on that thing, she only felt that her whole body was about to stop breathing!

It was a pink jade pendant, hanging with an old red rope, fading the bright color, but it could not fade the memory of more than ten years ago.

"What's wrong? What is it?"

Sensing that something was wrong with the woman beside him, Shen Xingye raised his hand and pressed Zhao Anyue's shoulder.

"No, it's nothing...... Zhao Anyue took a deep breath and stuffed the jade pendant into the depths of the bag, "It's just a cream bottle cap." ”

Shen Xingye didn't say anything, he patted Zhao Anyue on the shoulder twice when he dropped his palm, and then left with the bag.

Zhao Anyue bit her lip and stood in place trembling uncontrollably for a long time.

Why?

Will the jade pendant she gave to Linlin be in Tao Xuexin's hands?

That was the only thing her mother had left her before she left......

***

"Mr. Shen, you came out so soon? I thought you would need some time. ”

Lu Ya parked the car outside the Shen family's mansion, and when Shen Xingye came out, she saw that the time was only half an hour.

"These are ......"

Taking the bag handed over by Shen Xingye, Lu Ya subconsciously glanced inside.

"It's something for my third aunt, put it in the back seat first. ”

As he spoke, Shen Xingye took the lead in pulling away the back seat.

"Ah, I'm sorry Mr. Shen, I'll clean it up. ”

Lu Ya got into the back seat and put the two boxes of coffee neatly on the carpet: "That's the coffee that my friend brought back from abroad, I'm still feeding Shining, I can't drink it." So today, I got it to the company and wanted to share it with my colleagues. ”

Shen Xingye didn't say anything, but the moment he put the bag up, he suddenly thought of something again.

"Secretary Lu, please do me a favor. Shen Xingye remained silent, "I have something falling in, you can help me find it." ”

"What is it?" Lu Ya didn't understand what Shen Xingye meant at all.

"I don't know. When I was digging into my pocket, something slipped in. Maybe it's the keys or the buttons, I can't remember. But certainly not huge. ”

Shen Xingye didn't know what it was, but judging from Zhao Anyue's flickering words just now, it must be something special.

"Hehe, it won't be the ring that Mr. Shen bought for Mrs. Shen on a whim, right?"

Lu Ya's sudden half-joking words made Shen Xingye's heart wrinkle.

He felt that Lu Ya's words were a little strange-

He and Zhao Anyue are already husband and wife, and they are not boyfriend and girlfriend. According to common sense, how can a husband who has been married for so long buy another ring for his wife inexplicably?

Unless, Lu Ya knew that she had never bought a ring for Zhao Anyue.

The grievances between him and Zhao Anyue are clutched, even if they are insiders in the family, they can't tell. How could Lu Ya know such details.

"What are you talking about?"

"Huh?" Lu Ya probably realized that something was wrong with her words, so she quickly changed her words, "No, no, I mean, look at Mr. Shen, you don't have a wedding ring on your hand, did the ring fall in." ”

"No, you help me find the bag low, what the hell is it. ”

"Good. Lu Ya put her hand into the bag, fumbled for a while, and then took out the jade pendant, "Is this it? Mr. Shen? ”

Shen Xingye's flat brows shrank awe-inspiring for a moment: "Jade Guanyin?"

"Well, the colors are pretty nice. But I don't know much about this, it should be a good jadeite. There's a red string on it, though, it looks like it's been around for a while. Mr. Shen," Lu Ya asked cautiously, "Is this what you're looking for?"

"Give it to me. Shen Xingye didn't answer directly, but took the jade pendant from Lu Ya's hand and carefully put it back in his pocket, "Let's drive." ”

"Yes. ”

When the car arrived downstairs at the Qike Building, Lu Ya turned around and sighed: "Mr. Shen, if you don't leave a box of this coffee in the car, I won't take it with me? ”

"She's pregnant and can't drink. Shen Xingye said.

"Ah, I forgot. Hehe, I'm sorry. The main reason was that when I saw her and Director Qi in the café that day, I thought Mrs. Shen had nothing to do with it. Caffeine depends on the individual's physique, some people feel very uncomfortable when they touch it, and some people have no problem with a few more cups when they are pregnant. ”

Lu Ya's words made Shen Xingye frown involuntarily: "You said that Zhao Anyue and Qi Siwen were in the café?

"Just a few days ago. I just reported on those days, at Starbucks on Tianhe Street. ”

"Starbucks on Tianhe Street?"

"I ...... the specific number"

Listening to Lu Ya's words, Shen Xingye only felt a chill rushing up from the back of his heart!

He always thought that when he met in the café that day, it was Zhao Anyue who Shen Qianyi deliberately met. He didn't know that before that, the person sitting in the café with Zhao Anyue was Qi Siwen!

So, on the day of Xiaoqian's inexplicable poisoning, Qi Siwen was also present?

"Mr. Shen, are you okay......? Did you say the wrong thing?"

Lu Ya raised her hand and gently tugged Shen Xingye's arm.

Her slender and soft fingertips rubbed against Shen Xingye's wrist intentionally or unintentionally, colder than the jade pendant in her pocket.

"It's none of your business. ”

Shen Xingye shook off Lu Ya's hand, took out his induction cane, and walked into the building.

Looking at Shen Xingye's back, Lu Ya didn't immediately go back to the car to go to the parking lot. Instead, he stood there and stared at him for a few seconds, the expression on his face changing from stiff to relaxed, as if it had only taken half a moment.

***

Zhao Anyue absentmindedly dotted the flowers in the courtyard.

Occasionally, I would think about the ins and outs of the jade pendant, and occasionally I would glance at the small white building not far away.

Thinking of Shen Xingye's appearance today, Zhao Anyue felt distressed for no reason.

"Mother Liu, I've almost done this. Maybe the third aunt will be discharged from the hospital in a few days, so let's go first. ”

After saying hello to the maid, Zhao Anyue took a deep breath and went out to walk along the path towards the courtyard.

People are like this sometimes, no matter what age they are, they can't get rid of their curiosity.

Regarding these things in Shen Xingye's family, Zhao Anyue didn't have much interest. Shen Xingye's mother is already such a character, what kind of person Shen Xingye's father is, in fact, has nothing to do with Zhao Anyue.

But she is very strange, as one of the few direct blood relatives around Shen Xingye, why does he not want to see his son again?

The ghost made the god worse, and Zhao Anyue walked towards the small building step by step.

Blue steps, gray walls. It seems to be abandoned by everyone, and it seems to disdain everyone's attention.

Just then, two maids came out of the courtyard.

They yawned lazily and chatted casually in accented Mandarin.

"No one is looking at the old man, okay? Why don't you go over first, and I'll wait a while." ”

"What's not to do, I'll give you sleeping pills. Besides, I've been paralyzed for more than ten years, can I still fly out? Let's go, Sister Liu just came back from her hometown and said that she brought us a specialty. Hey, it is said that the Shen family has a great business and is full of oil and water. Poor us are just here looking at that living dead, and it's also a sin. ”
