Two or three seconds later, Uncle Xue took the lead in questioning, holding back his anger: "The eldest lady has said so much, which means that she intends to abandon us." ”

"It's not." Ruan Shu denied it very clearly and firmly, "I don't mean to abandon you, I just hope that the problems I mentioned above can be effectively solved." ”

"The eldest lady thinks that sending the Chen family's way to the Lu family is an effective solution?" Uncle Xue was still angry, "Send the whole one first, then toss the second one, and finally tell the Lu family about the source of the goods?" ”

I didn't expect that Uncle Xue, who originally had the least words, would be the most excited.

Ruan Shu frowned: "No." No. The response was a little pale and weak, and it could only be regarded as maintaining a calm posture.

Uncle Li and Yang Pao hurriedly appeased Uncle Xue.

Ruan Shu added: "Since you specially invited me here today to talk to you face-to-face, I also want to discuss with you and listen to your opinions. ”

Uncle Li answered at this time: "Miss, if you want to discuss with us, Uncle Li just thought about a few of your problems, and I think they can still be solved, Miss listen." Is it feasible. ”

Compared to Uncle Xue, his tone was much calmer.

"Uncle Li, please speak." Ruan Shu nodded, and at the same time silently speculated in his heart in advance about the points he might cut into.

Uncle Li, who got the answer, opened his mouth: "First of all, whether it is me or your Uncle Xue, although I was inevitably surprised when I first learned that the current family member is such a young girl as the eldest lady, I have never questioned the eldest lady because the eldest lady is a woman. So the eldest lady must not belittle herself in front of us. ”

I didn't expect him to clarify this in detail, Ruan Shu's heart warmed slightly, and he smiled: "Well, thank you, Uncle Li." ”

Uncle Li then got to the point: "The second master's wishes, we naturally don't want to go against it." If the eldest lady wants not to touch this piece of business as in the past, she can re-select or cultivate a person who is suitable to replace Eiichi's position. ”

"Although there is no second person who has a more comprehensive understanding and familiarity with the Chen family's industry than Rong Yi, presumably the rest of the Chen family's industry is completely able to handle it independently, and there is no need to pretend to be in the hands of others, so as long as she is familiar with this business, it is enough. In this way, Uncle Li feels that there is a very suitable candidate in front of him, which is Yang Pao. Of course. The premise is that the eldest lady trusts Yang Pao. ”

Ruan Shu was quiet for two seconds, did not comment on Uncle Li's suggestion, and returned to the original topic: "Is there a conflict between Du Pin's business and avenging my brother?" ”

She asked herself, "In my opinion, no." ”

Uncle Li understood her thoughts and asked her bluntly to confirm: "Miss, not only are you unwilling to touch Du, but you also don't plan to let the Chen family touch Du anymore, right?" ”

Ruan Shu was silent, lowered his eyelids, and chose to admit: "Yes." ”

Uncle Xue, who had just calmed down, got up again from his chair: "Why?!" ”

Although he had tried and failed before, in the face of them at this time, Ruan Shu still mentioned it again: "The risk of Dupin's business is too high, and the current situation is no longer as desperate as when my brother had nothing, so you haven't thought about washing your hands and changing careers and living a normal and stable life?" ”

She glanced at the three of them: "The Chen family has a lot of industries now, and the annual income is quite good, as long as you are willing." I can arrange for you to work in the future, so you don't have to worry about your livelihood in the future. ”

Yang Pao was completely stunned when she heard this, it turned out that after the first way was taken away by the Lu family, the real purpose of this arrangement that she had been rejected by everyone was here.

At that time, the people below didn't understand, but Yang Pao, Uncle Li and Uncle Xue knew very well, she never mentioned to them about opening a third way, and her promise was only perfunctory. Gradually, the three of them got together to exchange doubts, and finally invited her to meet today.

Silence, silence. Or silence.

Ruan Shu was also silent, observing the expressions of the three of them in silence.

The first to speak out was Uncle Xue: "Miss, is the Chen family still the Chen family?" Do you want to revive the Chen family? So what's the point of us and Lu Jiadou? ”

Three questions in a row, one heavier than the other.

Uncle Li and Yang Pao were both waiting for her answer quietly like Uncle Xue.

Zeng Rongyi also raised similar questions about this, and Ruan Shu was mentally prepared, probably expecting it. But in the face of their deep-seated beliefs, she is still not sure that she can be convinced.

But if you can't convince you, you still have to try.

After pondering, she said: "The Chen family is the Chen family, I don't think the current Chen family is decaying, why do we need to revive?" As for the meaning of fighting with the Lu family, it is to avenge my brother, and after taking revenge, I don't plan to have any follow-up actions. ”

She didn't give them a chance to interject, and went on to say: "My brother is dead, Uncle Rong is dead, Rong Yi has also fallen into the hands of the Lu family, and so many brothers have lost their lives, it's enough." ”

Uncle Li looked at her with a complicated look in his eyes: "Where did the eldest lady put the second master's wish before his death?" Where to put those brothers who are already dead? ”

Ruan Shu couldn't answer directly. She is different from theirs, and she is destined to be an unsolvable knot. She can only rely on her identity to come to them at present: "Now that I am the head of the Chen family, I think my approach is the best way out for the Chen family." ”

"If ......," she paused for a moment, and then put her words out, "if you don't agree with me, and don't want to accept the arrangements I just proposed for your future livelihood, and want to continue to do it, then you will continue to do it." You don't have to serve the Chen family anymore, this piece of business of the Chen family is all for you. ”

"Miss!" Yang Pao's expression changed greatly.

Uncle Xue looked rather disappointed.

Uncle Li was extremely serious: "Miss, I hope you don't misunderstand one thing. We didn't want to swallow up the Chen family's business and stand on our own. ”

"Uncle Li, don't worry, I didn't misunderstand." Ruan Shu pursed his lips lightly, "I really want to give it to you." It's something you've worked so hard for over the years, not to mention that it's always been all about you guys. ”

"It's not such a big lady," Yang Pao shook his head, "Because of the second master, there are only us and these businesses." We exist for the Chen family, how can you ask us to leave the Chen family now? You said you didn't want to abandon us, but when you say this, don't you want to abandon us? ”

"It's not abandonment," Ruan Shu emphasized, "I'm putting out the paths we can each choose, not forcibly tying each other up, not forcing each other." ”

She breathed a sigh of relief: "As you also said, it is because of my brother that you are here. The person you really respect and support is my brother, and now you are willing to recognize my position to give my brother face. ”

"On the other hand, I am finally willing to follow Yang Pao, and I am willing to sit here patiently to discuss with you at this time, also because of my brother, because I am the head of the Chen family, and I have the obligation to be responsible for you."

"So to put it a little more ugly, leaving aside my brother, I don't have much affection for you, you actually don't have much affection for me."

Yang Pao stopped her: "Miss, the more you talk, the more we hurt our hearts." ”

"It sounds ruthless and harsh, but it's all true." Ruan Shu was indifferent, "I don't want to live up to your efforts for the Chen family over the years. But I'm not my brother after all, and if we can't reach an agreement, it's better to leave it at that than to force each other, and all I can do is to compensate you as much as possible. ”

…………

See you tomorrow. Ruan Shu knew in her heart that it was a blind date arranged by her aunt for her daughter. She didn't want to disturb their chat, but one of the men took the initiative to stand up and greeted her familiarly from afar: "Miss Lin Er, okay." ”

There was instant silence in the living room.

"Young Master Tan, hello." Ruan Shu nodded lightly and didn't bother anymore, and called the maid Qing's sister-in-law not far away over and asked in a low voice, "What about Madam?" ”

"I've been in the temple since the morning."

The answer, as expected, has remained unchanged for many years. Knowing this, Ruan Shu still asked once a day, as if waiting for a different day.

"Miss Three seems to be a little wrong lately." Sister-in-law Qing stopped again, "I see that she has a bad appetite and ......retchs from time to time."

A trace of coldness flashed in Ruan Shu's eyes, and when he looked back at Sister-in-law Qing, he had already returned to calm: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I already know it." He immediately instructed Sister-in-law Qing, "Please make me stew some chicken soup and send it to my room at night." ”

After a little thought, she added, "Stew more, and send her a bowl when the third lady comes back." ”

Sister-in-law Qing glanced at Ruan Shu's somewhat pale face, and put down her suspicion and didn't ask more.

Ruan Shu was about to go upstairs, but after a pause, she changed her mind again and turned around to go to the Buddhist hall.

The so-called Buddha hall is actually a room at the end of the first floor.

Ruan Shu knocked lightly on the door twice.

There is no response given inside.

Ruan Shu turned the handle and pushed the door in, and suddenly the heavy sandalwood on his face.

The layout of the room is antique, in front of the exquisite Buddhist altar cabinet. A middle-aged woman dressed in green clothes knelt on the futon with her back straight, twisted a large string of Buddhist beads in her hand, closed her eyes, her lips moved, and she said something, as if she was not aware of Ruan Shu's arrival.

Ruan Shu leaned on the door, looked at her for a while, and after a while, he paced to the front of the Buddhist shrine, picked up three incense sticks, put the incense sticks together and lit them on the candle, and then lowered his head slightly, respectfully holding the incense on his forehead, thinking about the child who flowed out of the operating room.

Three seconds later, she straightened up again and inserted the incense into the incense pot. Immediately, she turned around and looked at the woman in Tsing Yi head-on. He smiled shallowly, "I have added two more sins today. ”

The woman in Tsing Yi did not respond.

Ruan Shu took two steps closer to her: "It's been ten years, aren't you tired?" ”

The woman in Tsing Yi didn't say anything.

"Actually, you're doing it for nothing. Those things that happened happened just happened, and they can't be erased. Ruan Shu's tone was very gentle, and a smile appeared on his lips, "You recite the scriptures for a lifetime, and I will create a lifetime of sin." And I'll live longer than you. A more effective solution would be to kill me directly, how about it? ”

The woman in Tsing Yi was unmoved.

Ruan Shutian added dry lips. It didn't seem to be much fun, so he didn't continue, put the hair scattered around his ears back behind his ears, brushed her past, opened the door and walked out, and said, "Don't worry, I will not give up the company to my uncle." I haven't had enough of it. ”

The door closed, and the quiet room was restored, and the woman in Tsing Yi opened her eyes, stared at the three incense sticks newly inserted by the incense ding, and then closed them again, twisting the Buddha beads more quickly.

Outside, Ruan Shuli stayed by the door for two or three seconds before walking back along the corridor, and when she passed the bathroom, she suddenly reached out with an arm and grabbed her arm and pulled her in and pressed her against the wall.

Ruan Shu's eyes quickly pressed the other party's face that was about to be pressed down, and he didn't smile: "Young Master Tan." Aren't you supposed to go on a blind date with my cousin in the living room? ”

"Jealous?" Tan Fei picked up a lock of her hair lightly and sniffed it, "I just saw you being so cold to me, I thought Miss Lin Er you had a bad memory and had forgotten me." ”

Ruan Shu's arm was always between the two, hiding the true emotions in his eyes, and smiled: "I thought it was you Young Master Tan who forgot me, and I haven't heard from you for a month." As soon as I appeared, I was on a blind date with my cousin. You should know that I have a sensitive relationship with my eldest uncle's family, since that is the case. Our previous negotiations were a complete breakdown. ”

"Who said it was broken?" Tan Fei's expression was ruffian, and then explained: "I had something at home that day, and I was temporarily called to the UK by my Lao Tzu, and today's blind date was also arranged by my mother, where would I look down on that cripple?" The conditions I gave you are still valid. ”

Tan Fei grabbed Ruan Shu's hand, kissed her lightly on the back of her hand, and said meaningfully, "Are you free tonight?" I can ask you to come out again, and we can discuss everything between us. ”

Ruan Shu withdrew his hand in disgust and sneered: "Young Master Tan, do you treat me Ruan Shu as a fool?" You're the one who has a bad memory, right? I haven't settled the account with you for drugged my wine that night! ”

If it weren't for Tan Fei's medicine, she wouldn't have ...... that night

"If you're willing to do it, will I need that?" Tan Fei didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he was doing, and said with a hippie smile, "Didn't I leave before I had time to touch you in the end?" ”

He didn't have time, but others took advantage of it! Listening to Tan Fei's tone, did he really not know at all? So what was the man that night......

Annoyed in his heart, Ruan Shu pushed Tan Fei away: "Yes...... Then I should really thank Young Master Tan. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you again next time. I'm afraid that the people in the living room have been waiting for a long time, and you should go out. ”

"What do you mean? What do you mean to work together next time? Tan Fei immediately pulled Ruan Shu's wrist, "Isn't your family's financial problem still unsolved?" ”

With discomfort in his wrist, Ruan Shu frowned very lightly and said calmly, "It's not solved yet." But I have another way. ”

"Hooked up with a new love?" Tan Fei's expression was ugly.

Ruan Shu smiled on his lips: "This doesn't bother Young Master Tan's heart, right?" However, we can't buy and sell, and we will still be friends in the future, not to mention that you may soon become relatives with me. ”

"You-"

"Young Master Tan. Are you in there? The door of the bathroom was suddenly knocked by the maid from outside, "Miss, let me ask if you are in trouble?" ”

Tan Fei grimaced and replied angrily: "I'm fine." I'll be out right away. ”

Ruan Shushu leaned silently against the wall behind the door, always smiling politely and detachedly, just like a thorny rose when he first met her.

After more than a month of emptiness and grievance, and the meat has not yet entered his mouth, how can he be willing? Tan Fei snorted coldly: "I want to see what else you can do!" ”

After speaking, he opened the door and walked out, "slamming" the door shut.

Ruan Shu walked to the sink, smeared a thick layer of hand sanitizer, and carefully washed his hands twice, especially on the back of his hand. After rinsing it off, she drew two or three tissues, slowly wiped the water stains away, and then looked up at her beautiful face in the mirror, and hooked her lips mockingly. before opening the bathroom door.

As soon as she stepped out, she was defenseless, and a heavy slap hit her in the face with a sharp palm wind.

In the backlight, his silhouette became more and more rigid and distinct. His entire tall figure shrouded in, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

If it were another woman, she might be shocked by his low pressure at this moment. Ruan Shu stood calmly and did not move, but because of his approach, he could smell the smoke on his body and on him more and more clearly.

As tough and tough as he is now.

"But third brother, why do you agree to be used by me?" She asked rhetorically, blankly in her eyes.

"Why do you think that?" Fu Lingyuan also asked rhetorically.

Ruan Shu touched his cheek and muttered, "Anyway, I definitely don't look up to my face like everyone else." You used to hate me so badly. ”

Look at her pretended unconfident expression. Fu Lingyuan laughed: "A little self-aware." ”

Hearing this, Ruan Shu breathed a sigh of relief very obviously, and smiled at him with a reassuring smile: "With the words of the third brother, I can accept the third brother's busyness just now." ”

Fu Lingyuan raised his eyebrows: "I don't seem to say that I was used by you for free?" ”

"The third brother has become very different from before." Ruan Shu's words were a bit wrong.

Fu Lingyuan didn't think she was changing the topic, and waited silently for her later text.

Sure enough, her next sentence was: "In the past, every time the third brother fought with someone outside, I and Xianyang hid it, and I bought you bone-setting medicine several times." Now the third brother can completely cover us little ones. ”

When she said this, she not only smiled, but also showed a look of adoration similar to that of a little girl, intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course. Her real purpose was not to compliment him, but to set up an old relationship, secretly reminding him that she had also him many times.

Fu Lingyuan squinted slightly.

Ruan Shu felt as if her body was bound by his gaze at this moment, and all she could do was continue to smile.

There was a vibrating sound of a mobile phone coming out at this time.

Fu Lingyuan took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket and glanced at it.

"Third brother, you are busy beforehand. I didn't drink alcohol and was able to drive myself. Ruan Shu was considerate and polite, and finally did not forget to say again, "Let Xianyang contact you another day, and let's give you the third brother together." and to thank you for today's events. ”

Fu Lingyuan held the still vibrating mobile phone in his hand, stared at Ruan Shu silently, and then whispered coldly: "Do you like to take the initiative to treat men like this now, and then play Yu to capture and indulge?" Or just kick it aside when you're done using it? ”

not only mocked, but also seemed to look down on her. This tone and attitude made her remember Fu Lingyuan a little bit ago. always likes to sneer at her. She couldn't get used to seeing him in the hooligan pile all day long. The initial feud between the two is a bit like pride and prejudice.

Ruan Shu laughed instead of being angry when he heard this: "I thought that there was no need to get close to me and the third brother. It's me who is abrupt. As for Yu Zong Yi's words...... she lowered her eyes, brushed the hair around her ears, raised her eyes again, and retorted, "Didn't the third brother just praise me for being self-aware?" Why was I captured by Yu and indulged by me? ”

The mobile phone stopped vibrating, and Fu Lingyuan's dark eyes were deep, and he seemed to have a cold smile: "Your mouth is still as clever and eloquent as before." ”

"Third Brother Xie compliments." Ruan Shu smiled and flattered - this just got out of the box, she didn't dare to immediately cross the river and tear down the bridge to be unhappy with him, Fang Cai's sentence of "clever words and good arguments" was refuted by her after carefully considering his psychological bottom line, and then stabbed a little more. She really couldn't talk about it anymore.

At the end of her life, she didn't forget to correct a word: "The third brother always said to use, which really made me panic." The third brother is willing to help me, and it is the third brother who gives me mercy, I am very grateful, and I will remember it in my heart. ”

She said the words of lifting him in her mouth, and her narrow phoenix eyes flickered faintly, like a fox.

The same fox color as in my distant memory. Appears after her previous bad ideas and tricks have succeeded. What now? Are you calculating him?

Fu Lingyuan looked into his eyes quietly, and his face showed interest again.

The phone vibrates again.

"Third brother. I'm afraid it's urgent. I won't delay you. Ruan Shu kindly reminded.

Fu Lingyuan clenched his mobile phone, didn't even say goodbye, and left while answering the phone.

Because of the posture of raising his arms to answer the phone, his shirt is more close to his back, and under the reflection of the roadside lights, the outline of his arms is perfectly outlined, and it is not necessary to think much about it to know that he has exercised all these years. And the three-dimensional side of his face when he inadvertently turned it over showed the taste of a man.

In his mind, he used to be unruly when he was young, and compared with the tough masculinity he is all over now, Ruan Shu only feels that things are wrong. But in fact, she herself has changed a lot?

One last glance, she noticed that he was answering the phone with his left hand, and the roadside lights illuminated the dark brown leather strap of the watch on his wrist.

In fact, there was nothing special, and Ruan Shu didn't know why he suddenly paid attention to his strap.

After checking the car keys, she turned around and went in the opposite direction to Fu Lingyuan to get her car.

Probably mediated with Tan Fei in the box, and outside the box, he had a false relationship with Fu Lingyuan, and it took too much effort, and on the way back, Ruan Shu felt like he was suddenly attacked by exhaustion, and his attention was refocused on his faintly uncomfortable stomach.

The doctor told me that I needed to recuperate after the abortion surgery. She's good, one thing after another needs her cao heart.

Fortunately, it was successfully held up, home.

But she didn't expect that someone in the living room was waiting for her.

And the next second, when she found that Tang Xianyang was holding a bowl of chicken soup in his hand, and the direction of his footsteps seemed to be going upstairs, Ruan Shu realized that he might not be waiting for her.
