Chapter 20: The face of the Shen family
Because of the good things Shen Guangnan did, Shen Congwen, who had been a shallow sleeper, didn't sleep well all night, woke up as soon as it was dawn, and after exercising for more than half an hour in a distraught, he sat in the hall and waited, waiting for news about the teenager.
It's just that he couldn't sit still after only sitting for more than ten minutes, and kept walking back and forth in the hall, looking very anxious.
After walking back and forth in the hall for dozens of times, he finally seemed to be unable to stand the dull air in the house, opened the door and walked out, walking directly to the lawn outside, looking into the distance and quietly distracted.
I don't know how long it took, Uncle Zhou also walked out of the villa and walked quickly to his side.
"Master, there's news of him."
"Where?" Shen Congwen turned around, his anxious mood was no longer visible on his face, and he returned to his previous calm.
Uncle Zhou's face was a little solemn, as if he didn't know how to speak.
"What's wrong?"
"The Li family found him before we did."
The corners of Shen Congwen's eyes narrowed slightly.
"And then?"
"They talked for seven or eight minutes, and our people were so far away that we didn't know what they were talking about." Uncle Zhou handed over a tablet and said, "Judging from their small actions, the Li family seems to have touched a nose of ash. ”
Shen Congwen looked at the silent video playing inside. Because they are too far apart, the faces of the two cannot be seen clearly, but some information can be roughly guessed through the movements of the two.
Uncle Zhou said: "I don't know what the reason is, Yu Pei didn't make a move. ”
Shen Congwen handed over the tablet and asked, "Where is he now?" ”
"Riverside."
"Riverside?"
"After separating from the plums, he went to the riverside, and now he has been standing by the riverside for more than an hour, and he hasn't moved, I don't know if he is thinking about the conditions of the Li family."
Shen Congwen was silent, and his expression was rarely a little heavy.
"Master, do you want to send someone to invite him back?" Uncle Zhou asked tentatively.
Shen Congwen didn't speak.
"If that half of the jade pendant falls into the hands of the Li family, we will become very passive and embarrassed."
"How does the Li family know?"
Uncle Zhou said: "I have already sent someone to investigate, it should have been spread by one of the bodyguards he met at the door at that time." As early as many years ago, the matter of this half of the jade pendant didn't know how to spread out, in the entire capital, as long as there are people with some background, they should have heard about it, and now that this matter has been confirmed, how could they let go of such an opportunity? ”
"It's the third child of the Li family who met him?"
"Yes."
"They really have a heart, what about the Lin family? Is there any movement? ”
"Not yet, I don't know if I haven't gotten the news."
"Then wait, I want to see what they're going to do."
"However, in case Chen Youshan really gave them the jade pendant......" Uncle Zhou's words didn't come out, but anyone could hear the uneasiness and worry in his tone.
He knew better than anyone the importance of this half of the jade pendant, and if it fell into the hands of the Li Lin family, the damage to the Shen family would be several times heavier than in the hands of Chen Youshan, or even dozens or hundreds of times.
Shen Congwen was silent for a while before he said: "Let him go, he has already sent the jade pendant over yesterday, we are sorry for him, even if he really exchanged the jade pendant and Li Lin for something, he deserves it." ”
"But if the jade pendant falls into the hands of the Li Lin family, our situation will be very passive."
"Even if he does hand it over, it's our own fault." Shen Congwen's tone increased with a hint of anger. Obviously, he was still annoyed by the trouble that Shen Guangnan caused yesterday. If it weren't for the uncompetitive son's cleverness, how could the Shen family fall into such a passive situation.
Uncle Zhou smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.
"Don't bother him just yet." Shen Congwen said softly: "At least, before he decides the ownership of the half jade pendant, let's not bother him and let him make his own decisions." ”
"But......" Uncle Zhou stopped talking.
"Since the old gentleman gave him the jade pendant, he has the right to decide where it belongs." Shen Congwen's face showed self-deprecation, "Besides, why should we invite him back?" On what grounds did you ask him to come back? Because we knew he was here to return the jade pendant, so we went and brought him back? Although you and I both know the attitude of the Shen family, he doesn't know. Let him think that our Shen family went to him because he knew that he was going to return the jade pendant to us? I can't afford to lose this old face! ”
Uncle Zhou said cautiously: "As long as we make it clear to him, he should understand our minds." ”
"If it were you, would you understand?"
Uncle Zhou's lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end.
"I don't want him to look down on the Shen family, or rather, I don't want that old gentleman to look down on the Shen family." Shen Congwen sighed softly and said, "You have been with me for so many years, you should know that this matter is the thing I am most concerned about, and I can't let it end so inexplicably." I want to take back that half of the jade pendant in a dignified and upright manner. He can take it in exchange for whatever he wants as long as he wants, this is his right, and we are not in a position to interfere. ”
Uncle Zhou said: "However, if the jade pendant really falls into the hands of the Li family or the Lin family, it will be difficult for the little lady to do it." ”
"It's a big deal to give the Shen family to others, what's so difficult about this?" Shen Congwen smiled faintly and said, "With the ability of that elegant girl, she can live well without the Shen family." It's not impossible to get her to start all over again. ”
Uncle Zhou smiled bitterly and didn't say anything more.
Shen Congwen sighed softly and said, "Actually, I hope that he can hand over that half of the jade pendant to the Li Lin family, so that I can also have an explanation for the kindness of that old gentleman." It's a good thing that I'll be able to get this done in my lifetime. The jade pendant really fell into the hands of the Li Lin family, and without the shackles of kindness, it would be much easier for us to get it back. ”
"What about the little lady?"
"I'll tell her." Shen Congwen said: "From now on, call all the people who followed him back, and don't bother him again." ”
"I see." Uncle Zhou answered, turned around and left.
Shen Congwen suddenly said: "Arrange it, I'll go to the company." ”
……
Elegance Group, on the 23rd floor, in a spacious and luxurious office, a beautiful figure stands quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the traffic outside the window through the glass, and does not move for a long time.
She wore a tailored light blue business outfit with a conservative skirt that was close to her knees, revealing only her slender calves. Perhaps because of the tailor-made sake, this outfit shows off her wonderful figure, even if the model walking on the catwalk is dull in front of her.
"Knock knock!"
A soft knock on the door shattered the silence of the office.
"What's the matter?" A fresh and pleasant voice sounded in the office, and it sounded like a little tired.
The office door opened gently, and Shen Congwen walked in, and he didn't speak, just looked at this beautiful back with a loving face.
The figure also seemed to sense that something was wrong, and turned back with some confusion.
This is a face that is impeccably beautiful, and this is a woman who looks like a fairy and captivates the country.
"Grandpa?" Seeing Shen Congwen, her tired face instantly revealed undisguised surprise, "Grandpa, why are you here?" ”
"I haven't seen you for more than half a month, and I miss you a little." Looking at the tired look between her eyebrows, Shen Congwen sighed lightly in his heart and asked, "Elegant, have you been living in the company for most of the month?" ”
Shen Yayi stuck out his tongue, pulled Shen Congwen to sit down on the side, and said, "Grandpa, you know, the land in the north is very important to us, and we must find a way to take it down." ”
"But you also have to pay attention to your body, how can you stay up like this?" Shen Congwen said.
"Okay, grandpa, don't talk about this, I have my own measure." Shen Ya smiled and changed the topic, "Grandpa, you better tell me the truth, what is the matter with coming here today?" Is it for the half of the jade pendant? ”
Shen Congwen glanced at her a little helplessly, and said, "I know that I can't hide it from you, I came today to tell you, don't worry about that half of the jade pendant." ”
"What's wrong?"
Shen Congwen smiled self-deprecatingly, and briefly said the news he heard today.
Shen Yaya also fell silent.
"So, you don't have to worry about this matter, I'll take care of it." Shen Congwen said: "You just concentrate on the company's affairs, don't be distracted." ”
Shen Ya looked at him with some concern.
Shen Congwen didn't know what she was thinking, and said angrily with a straight face: "What? You don't believe grandpa can handle this? ”
"How so?" Shen Yayi laughed, "If you can't even handle grandpa, no one in the world can handle it well." ”
"You're still so sweet in your mouth." Shen Cong laughed again and again.
Shen Ya suddenly thought of something, and said carefully: "My dad ...... him"
"Don't mention your dad." Shen Congwen was angry from the heart, "I will get angry when I mention him." ”
Shen Yayi didn't dare to say any more.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore, I'll go back." Shen Congwen stood up, "Qinghe is about to graduate in one year, I'll ask him what he means in a few days to see if I want to share some of it for you." ”
Shen Yaya smiled bitterly: "I just called him yesterday, he doesn't want to come to the company, he wants to study abroad, and he still wants to be self-reliant." ”
Shen Congwen's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something more, but for some reason he didn't make a sound in the end.
"The only thing your dad did to satisfy me was to give birth to your brother and sister. Okay, let's talk about your brother later, I'll go back first. ”
