Taking the subtle changes in her expression into her eyes, Chen Qingzhou put her mobile phone on the coffee table table: "Let's communicate first, and then deal with other things." ”

As a result, the vibration of the mobile phone became more pronounced, ringing between the two of them.

Ruan Shu curled her fingers and stared at the screen until it finally hung up on its own, quieted down, and after a few seconds, the light on the screen also dimmed.

Fu Lingyuan didn't call again.

Ruan Shu calmed down, stabilized his mind, looked at Chen Qingzhou, his eyes were sharp: "I first declare, where is 200 million, it's not that I don't want to say, but I really don't know, and I don't have any clue." So this time you help me out, I can't repay you with 200 million clues, you can only make other conditions. ”

Chen Qingzhou was a little helpless: "If I say that I don't need you to reciprocate, you should think that I am deliberately trying to set a good relationship with you in order to cast a long line to catch a big fish." So, whatever I do, it's all ill-intentioned in your heart. ”

Ruan Shu pursed his lips and was silent, which was regarded as a default.

Chen Qingzhou smiled: "It's okay. Think whatever you want, what I should do, or what I will do. ”

"So what does Miss Ruan think next?" He asked.

"It's better for Mr. Chen to make conditions with me, because I'm going to make a deal with you next." Ruan Shu's tone was detached, as if he was not moved by his words, and said, "My greatest value here with Mr. Chen is probably my relationship with Zhuang Peiyu." I don't know the 200 million clues, but maybe I can promise to do my best to help you find them. ”

As the words came out, her heart paused slightly, and she lowered her eyes - she also mentioned the same condition to Fu Lingyuan, but Fu Lingyuan refused and refused her request for divorce. Since this is the case, don't blame her for trading with Chen Qingzhou. If not, she would have nothing to attract Chen Qingzhou.

"I see." Chen Qingzhou had an expression of insight into her psychology, "It seems that only by making a deal with conditions can Ruan Shu accept my help with peace of mind." ”

Ruan Shu was silent - don't take other people's favors for anything for granted, because nothing is for no reason, this is her previous principle. Recently, it has been because of Fu Lingyuan......

Closing her eyelids, she stopped thinking about it and said, "Mr. Chen just needs to understand." So as I just said—"

Chen Qingzhou made a gesture to interrupt her: "Miss Ruan, my own trading conditions should be mentioned by myself, shouldn't I?" ”

"Then what conditions does Mr. Chen want?" Ruan Shu was vigilant.

"It's simple." Chen Qingzhou smiled lightly, "Please Miss Ruan stay with me with peace of mind." ”

Ruan Shu was slightly stunned and frowned very lightly.

Chen Qingzhou's words continued: "Miss Ruan doesn't have a place to live for the time being, does she? I guess Miss Ruan's exchange with me is to ensure that you will not be taken back by Ling Yuan again. So there's no other place safer than to stay with me. My guards here are no worse than Ling Yuan's villas, and there are people who take care of your diet and daily life every day, which is very convenient. ”

Ruan Shu snorted: "Now you want to put me under house arrest?" ”

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not putting you under house arrest." Chen Qingzhou frowned, "Your actions here are completely free, and you can come and go as you please." At most, I will arrange more bodyguards for Miss Ruan. ”

But the problem is that she doesn't dare to wander around casually in a short period of time. Fu Lingyuan didn't know what follow-up "pursuit" action to take for her escape. Thinking about it from this point, it is clear that it is safest to hide here in Chen Qingzhou, unless she leaves Haicheng. Ruan Shu's expression couldn't help but be ugly—so she did jump from one pit to another. Why do you have to hide for a while?

"I don't want to live here." Ruan Shu honestly refused, "My trading conditions are indeed that I hope that Mr. Chen can guarantee that I will no longer be under house arrest by Fu Lingyuan." Before I divorced him. ”

The word "divorce" seemed to touch him, and she clearly saw a fleeting faint gloom in his eyes, but it was quickly concealed by the darkness.

"I really don't have a place to live for the time being, so I hope Mr. Chen can find me a place other than your accident." Ruan Shu then put forward his thoughts and reminded, "Mr. Chen shouldn't forget, you should avoid suspicion with me, right?" Let me go in and out of your house freely every day, and be looked at, what's the matter? ”

Chen Qingzhou did not immediately agree: "What Miss Ruan said, I will think about it again." Even if I want to arrange another place for you, I'll have to give me some time. Before proper arrangements are made, we still have to ask Miss Ruan to stay here for the time being. It's just a day or two, and it's not going to be noticeable. What's more, my subordinates don't eat white rice, and it is easy for outsiders to know what guests I have invited to my house. ”

Ruan Shu was silent, and his mind was full of things.

On the coffee table, Chen Qingzhou's mobile phone suddenly vibrated again.

The caller ID is still Fu Lingyuan.

Chen Qingzhou let her phone vibrate, looked at her expression, and asked, "Does Miss Ruan need to explain the divorce to him now?" ”

Ruan Shu pouted, stared straight at the phone screen, was silent, and said coolly: "I haven't figured out how to negotiate with him yet......"

"Good. Then don't pick it up yet. Chen Qingzhou seemed to respect her very much, "But in fact, Ling Yuan has not been in Haicheng for the past two days. And it shouldn't be back for a while. ”

Ruan Shu raised his eyes when he heard this: "He's not in Haicheng?" ”

She only knew that before going out in the morning, he said that there was a temporary problem with the business he was in charge of and needed him to deal with it urgently, which is why he did not accompany her to the hospital for a follow-up.

"Hmm." Chen Qingzhou bowed his head and said with deep meaning, "He has just served in Sanxin Group, and his foundation has not yet been fully established. At this time, a little bit of a situation may be magnified and criticized by someone with a heart. So there should be nothing else in the near future, which can be more important than the matter of Sanxin Group and Sihaitang. ”

Ruan Shu reacted: "You made it?" ”

"It's more convenient to get rid of him." Chen Qingzhou smiled faintly.

Ruan Shu also heard a little bit of flavor from his words, clearly alluding to the fact that for Fu Lingyuan, the official affairs of Sanxin Group were more important than accompanying her to the hospital for a reexamination.

Although it was true that she wanted to leave Fu Lingyuan, she didn't want outsiders to provoke the couple of them, and couldn't help but mock: "A man should be career-oriented, didn't Mr. Chen separate from Officer Fu for the comeback now?" Do you still want to flaunt that you love beauty and don't want the country? ”

was directly poked in the sore spot mercilessly, Chen Qingzhou's expression changed slightly, and he became cold.

Ruan Shu pursed her lips, and regretted her impulse a little in her heart - what qualifications did she have to judge other people's feelings?

"I'm sorry." She exhaled softly, "It's just that Mr. Chen's words are inappropriate first. ”

Chen Qingzhou seemed to react for a moment, and then he understood what she meant by the so-called "inappropriateness", and instantly put away his coldness and looked at her deeply: "Miss Ruan is still as sensitive as when I first met you. ”

He obviously didn't finish his words, and it seemed that he wanted to make further comments, but he probably didn't think it made sense, so he stopped.

Ruan Shu closed his eyelids, did not comment on this, did not want to continue to talk about personal issues, and followed the previous topic: "May I be curious to ask, who is the dark line that Mr. Chen sent me a note?" ”

I actually have the answer in my heart. Of course, if it weren't for the stubble where the elevator mouth bumped into each other, she wouldn't have been able to lock Jiusi right away.

But now that it is locked and Jiusi is brought in, many things in the past are vague and have a relatively clear line, giving her a sense of sudden enlightenment. For example, Jiusi's recent protection of her is obviously not as strong as in the past, think about the incident of falling into the sea on the cruise ship, and then think about the coercion incident of a man in a suit, compared to the previous times, it was all desperate. With a little reasoning, she guessed that Chen Qingzhou probably only confirmed her and Zhuang Peiyu's identities during this time.

Chen Qingzhou smiled silently and did not answer her.

Ruan Shu remembered that Jiusi was still with Fu Lingyuan. Chen Qingzhou did not recall Jiusi on this, it seems that he still wants to keep Jiusi to continue to do things. After all, Jiusi's dark line identity hasn't been exposed yet, has it? Today she was able to leave the hospital smoothly, and Jiusi didn't seem to have played a role. It was just because she went to buy her aunt's towel, and Fu Lingyuan shouldn't be suspicious of Jiusi......

What she is worried about is that if Chen Qingzhou has the ability to install eyeliner next to Fu Lingyuan, does it mean that Fu Lingyuan also planted eyeliner next to Chen Qingzhou? Even if she runs a Lin family, she has to keep an eye on the employees around her, let alone be in such an environment?

Just guessed so casually, Ruan Shu couldn't help but laugh again in her heart - the world is like this, people's hearts are unpredictable, she is sensitive, what's wrong......

Upstairs there was the sound of something falling heavily to the ground.

Chen Qingzhou glanced at him, immediately frowned, and then looked back at Ruan Shu again: "Miss Ruan, according to what we just said, you will live with me for the past two days to buffer it." I'll think about your ideas, and we'll make adjustments later. ”

It could be seen that he was anxious to take care of Fu Qingci, Ruan Shu's mind was also a little messy, and some things had not been sorted out clearly, so after a pause, he nodded: "Mr. Chen, you go get busy first." ”

Chen Qingzhou seemed to have expected her to make this choice, and there was no big surprise on her face when she heard this, and she said with a faint smile: "That's good." Miss Ruan, take care of yourself. You can move around here as you please, and if Miss Nguyen wants to rest first, ask the maid directly to take you to the room prepared for you. If Miss Ruan wants to go out, find Rong Yi, and he will arrange it for you directly. But in fact, I will be at home today, I will not go out again, if you have a new idea to talk to me, come to me directly, my room is on the second floor on the left hand side of the hallway and go straight to the end of the last one. ”

He was very thoughtful, so thoughtful that Ruan Shu had nothing else to say except "thank you".

After seeing him go upstairs, Ruan Shuding sat on the sofa in the living room, shaking his mind for a moment, only thinking about one thing - Fu Lingyuan was not in Haicheng for the past two days.

He is not in Haicheng, does it mean that even if he guesses that she is here in Chen Qingzhou, there is no way to take her for the time being?

My heart seems to be a little lighter, and it seems to be ...... Something else blocked.

But soon she forced herself to suppress these incomprehensible complications, and found Rong Yi: "Chen Qingzhou said that if I want to go out, will you help me arrange it?" ”

Rong Yi's expression was solemn: "Where is the eldest lady going?" I'll prepare the car and people immediately. But it may take a little time, not so quickly, because there is more preparation to be made. ”

"Don't be nervous." Ruan Shu immediately pressed the gesture, "I didn't go out of the range of the Green Water Mansion, I just wanted to go back to my own side and pack up a piece or two of clothes." So you don't need a car, just look at a few people to follow me. ”

Hearing this, Rong Yi is obviously a lot easier, after all, there is no need to work hard to move the public.

"Okay, eldest miss, I'll let the two brothers explore the way first, and then I can accompany you right away."

"I'm in trouble." Ruan Shu maintained a detached politeness, and corrected it again at the end of his life, "Don't call me 'Miss' again, I'm not your 'Miss'." ”

Fifteen minutes later, after more than a month, Ruan Shu stood at the door of her and Fu Lingyuan's new house again, with the illusion of being separated from each other. Gathering her mind, she pressed the password.

As soon as she unlocked it, before she could reach out to open the door, Rong Yi escorted Ruan Shu aside: "Miss, wait a minute, for the sake of prudence, let the brothers explore the way first." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for two of his men to come forward.

Ruan Shu's eyebrows twisted, and he immediately shouted: "Don't go in!" ”

She was so fierce that she scared several people.

"Miss, how-"

"No need to explore the way." Ruan Shu interrupted Rong Yi, his tone returned to normal, and said, "I want to go in alone, don't follow any of you." Don't step in, just wait outside the door. ”

"But—"

"There will be no problem. I'm just going in for a while. Ruan Shu pursed his lips, "If something really goes wrong, I admit it, and I am responsible for the consequences." You don't have to worry about me. ”

She dared to mention that she came here to get something, but she wasn't afraid-didn't they all say that Fu Lingyuan was not in Haicheng for the past two days? Even if he wanted his subordinates to look for him, he would go to Chen Qingzhou's villa, and he wouldn't know that she came back here. And haven't they all been explored along the way?

Rong Yi didn't dissuade him again, motioned to a few of his subordinates to step back, and said, "Okay, eldest lady, we're all waiting outside." There are also brothers downstairs who are keeping an eye on the situation. Don't worry, don't worry, just call us if you have something. ”

Ruan Shu was silent and opened the door and went in, shutting the others out.

It was afternoon, and the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room happened to be undrawn, and a large area of dazzling sunlight was reflected in the face, which was slightly dazzling at first glance.

Subconsciously raised his arm to block the light, and then put it down. The first thing that catches your eye is the rattan rocking chair. Still, the ground was facing out of the floor-to-ceiling window, the pillows and blankets on them were crooked, apparently someone who hadn't cleaned them up after lying down the last time.

Ruan Shu stepped forward, reached out and touched the pillow, then turned his head to look out of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The sea and the sky are more colorful, boundless, white and bright in the bright sun, quite dazzling.

Then he retracted his gaze and stared at the rocking chair.

The direction is really accurate.

She hadn't forgotten his desire to be the "supremacy of the seas".

Every time he lies here, looking out at his own ambitions?

Well, very well, his original intention has not changed, and he will continue to move towards his set goal.

The corners of his lips bent slightly, Ruan Shu pushed hard, and the rocking chair immediately swayed briskly, rubbing his feet against the ground to make regular movements, resounding in a quiet space.

It stands to reason that there has been no one living here for more than a month, so there should be a lot of dust. However, Ruan Shu didn't touch it, it seems that the twice-weekly cleaning work continues?

Because the doors and windows were closed, the air in the room was a little stuffy. But more than stuffy, it's the outdated smell of smoke mixed with stuffiness. It's like someone who smoked in there before, and smoked a lot, but left without ventilation.

This so-called "someone", of course, can only be Fu Lingyuan......

Ruan Shu remembered that when she first got along with him, he was very addicted to smoking, and her bad habit of smoking in the car but not breathing made her unbearable several times. However, he was a gentleman, and he could detect it in time, and when he said sorry, he immediately opened the windows on all sides for her.

Retracting his wandering thoughts, Ruan Shu went to the bedroom first, packed a few sets of change of clothes and put them in the suitcase, and then went to the drawer to rummage through his various documents, but he didn't find them, and his heart couldn't help but knock.

Before going to the Lu family's private island, Fu Lingyuan helped her pack her luggage, and then she took a helicopter back to Haicheng, and finally was abducted from the hospital to the villa, she didn't know how much luggage she had in the villa. So before Fu Lingyuan came back last night, she deliberately checked it, and most of the important things were in her handbag, her wallet, and in her wallet were her various cards and ID cards, as well as a small amount of cash.

Before going out to the hospital in the morning, she deliberately changed into a handbag that was easy to carry, containing the above things, plus the mobile phone that Fu Lingyuan returned to her. I've always carried it. Now, however, all the other documents she had left here, including her passport, were gone.

It should be that he was removed by Fu Lingyuan at some point during the period of living in the villa. But she clearly didn't find those things last night.

Biting his fingers, Ruan Shu was very irritable, and he couldn't tell if it was just a coincidence or if he did it on purpose.

At the same time, I silently counted in my heart what was there besides my passport. If she only has a passport, that kind of thing can be reported lost and re-handled, but her Lin family's household registration book, Lin family's real estate certificate, and Lin's equity book all have to be returned.

I'm afraid that Fu Lingyuan will not be kind and use these things to blackmail her - after being under house arrest by him, she thinks he can do such a thing. It seems that it is not only divorce that needs to be negotiated......

After taking the things that should be taken, he returned to Chen Qingzhou's villa, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Huang Jinrong jumping up from the sofa and staring at her with a nervous expression. Glancing at the suitcase behind her in an instant, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but he raised his eyebrows and taught Rong Yi: "Can't you go to the branch?" Do you still have me in your eyes? ”

Rongyi: "......" Didn't he always just need to report things to the second master......?

Humming and chirping, Huang Jinrong put his hands behind his back, glanced at Ruan Shu again, and immediately looked back at Rong Yi, urging: "Don't be here, hurry up and help send the luggage upstairs when it comes." ”

With that, he sat back down on the sofa, grabbed the cup in front of him, and enjoyed his tea leisurely, as if no one was around.

Ruan Shu greeted him politely: "Uncle Rong, I'll go upstairs first." ”

"Hmm." Huang Jinrong held the shelf high.

Ruan Shu couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips, let Rong Yi lead her way, and walked upstairs.

Her room was in the opposite direction from Chen Qingzhou's room, located in the opposite hallway, and the first room in the hallway was quite close to the staircase.

Rong Yi put her suitcase at the door and stopped, and did not go in: "Miss, if you have anything to do with me, or you can find a maid housekeeper, I will go down and get busy first." ”

Ruan Shu bowed lightly, pulled the suitcase and pushed the door in, slightly stunned.

Belch...... The furnishings of this room...... How to describe it......

The mahogany furniture is quite normal, but the color of the curtains and sheets is a dreamy pink and purple, which obviously does not match the overall calm style of the villa, as if it was temporarily replaced, slightly abrupt, and a little nondescript. All in all, it's like seeing a shemale in a bunch of men.

There was also a dresser in the room, and the style of this dresser, if she remembered correctly, was the one she had picked for Chen Qingzhou in the Furniture City earlier.

Ruan Shu frowned - wasn't this bought for Fu Qingci? How did you move here? Or did Fu Qingci ever live in this room? No, how could Chen Qingzhou sleep separately from Fu Qingci?

Zhenghu was suspicious, and Huang Jinrong's question came from behind him: "What's wrong with the girl?" Why don't you enter the door? Don't you like it? ”

He peeked in from her side, his expression revealed a trace of nervousness, a hint of disappointment and loneliness, and then said, "If you don't like it, let's change rooms." There are many rooms here, you can sleep wherever you want, whatever you want. ”

After thinking about it, Ruan Shu probably guessed something, and shook his head with a light smile: "No, there is no dislike." No need to change it. Just stayed in this room, thank you. ”

Huang Jinrong's face softened, and his hands were put behind his back again, recovering the elder's shelf: "Okay, that won't bother you." You clean up, see what is missing in the room, and let us know if you need to. ”

So he went downstairs with his men.

Ruan Shu frowned, and breathed softly, revealing a thick helplessness - in the face of such a golden glory, the pressure is so great.

Closing the door and opening the suitcase, Ruan Shu casually hung a few sets of clothes in the closet, and then took out her iPad that she had brought with her—finally using these communication devices.

The mobile phone didn't dare to turn on yet, still worried about receiving a call from Fu Lingyuan. Again, she didn't think about how to face him for the time being.

Logging in to WeChat, she thought that she would definitely receive countless messages, after all, it has been more than a month, and she will definitely accumulate a lot. However, there are not many. There are about a dozen, some of which are greetings from business partners or customers or others, and the others are from Li Mao and Lin Pu, all of whom were only sent inquiries in the two days when she was abducted to the villa, the former asked when she would be able to return to the company on vacation, and the latter asked why she was silently discharged from the hospital, and what is her physical condition now, and where to send the documents.

Yes, only for the first two or three days, and after that there was no more news, as if she didn't care about her whereabouts anymore.

Or rather, someone has helped to explain her whereabouts clearly.

There is no need to guess, who else can explain her situation to them besides Fu Lingyuan? Ruan Shufeng's eyes narrowed coldly, first of all, the first dialog box was not for Lin Pu, but for Li Mao - the Lin family went up and down, and the person she trusted the most was the director of the marketing department. It is the most reliable to learn the news quietly from him first.
