Chen Qingzhou pondered for a moment and said, "I still say the same thing, I don't force you to know the whereabouts of 200 million. ”

Ruan Shu did not comment on his emphasis, but said: "If some things are not resolved, I will not be able to achieve true freedom for the rest of my life." ”

In fact, it is mainly because she really has nothing to do recently, so she unconsciously pondered 200 million in her heart.

"Also," Ruan Shu added, "before I go to the Wat of Reclining Buddha, I want to go back to the Lin family." ”

She didn't know about the existence of 200 million before, so she didn't have the intention, so she casually brought out two things, the Diamond Sutra and the Buddha beads.

Now...... She probably still has to go through Zhuang Peiyu's other relics carefully...... Maybe if you have the heart to look for it, she can really find out what is missing.

Chen Qingzhou didn't say anything more, and nodded directly: "Okay, I'll arrange it for you." ”

After a moment's thought, Ruan Shu hesitated and asked, "Do you know Fu Lingyuan's movements these days?" ”

"You want to find him?" Chen Qingzhou's expression was a little meaningful.

Ruan Shu unconsciously curled his fingers and frowned: "The lawyer's letter sent to him is in the sea." The matter of my divorce from him is still there. ”

Chen Qingzhou smiled faintly: "He doesn't have any special movements, he comes to Sanxin Group on time every day these days, and occasionally leaves because Sihaitang has temporary affairs to deal with." ...... at night Basically, I'll go to C'Blue with Shaocong for a while. ”

The wording is quite subtle. Ruan Shu hooked his lips mockingly: "It seems that life is very regular." ”

But she didn't think that Fu Lingyuan was this kind of person who kept to himself. When I lived with him before, there were several times when he quietly went out in the middle of the night to run errands. Sitting in the position of the ruler of Sihaitang is only the beginning of his ambitions. Who knows what he's doing behind his back?

Chen Qingzhou suddenly raised his mouth at this time: "Ling Yuan may be planning some actions recently. ”

Ruan Shu paused slightly in his heart and asked, "I wanted to say before, you should have noticed that he deliberately left me with you, right?" ”

Chen Qingzhou smiled silently.

"Does he want to know anything about you here through me? Have you checked it? Ruan Shu reminded and asked.

"Not yet." Chen Qingzhou didn't seem to care very much.

Ruan Shu pursed his lips: "There are two other possibilities, first, he may think that my environment here with you can be more relaxed, which will help me ponder 200 million clues." Second, as you just guessed, what he was planning, so I took him away from him first, in case I became his uncertainty. There may be other reasons that I didn't think about, but in the end, I think it's the most likely thing to kill multiple birds with one stone. ”

This is the so-called benefit maximization. Anything that can be used, Fu Lingyuan will not let go......

"You're very clear and well-thought out." Chen Qingzhou's eyes showed appreciation.

Ruan Shu's expression was gloomy. What is the use of clarity? She still couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Cheered up, she continued: "He wants to do nothing more than you do." But he is closer to Lu Zhenhua, and now he has more in-depth contact with the Green Gang than you. If he has any signs of planning, does it mean that he has discovered the clues to the source of goods one step ahead of you? What does it have to do with him going to sea with Lu Zhenhua this time? ”

"It's all possible." Chen Qingzhou could only say this, "He is very cautious, I can't find anything." My grasp of his movements is the superficial phenomena I have just told you. ”

"You can't always put eyeliner next to him......" Ruan Shu was disappointed again.

Chen Qingzhou smiled: "Let me ask you, why do you want to explore so clearly?" You're not saying you don't want to get involved in our struggle? ”

The pupils were raised, Ruan Shu's eyes were slightly cold, and he got up: "I'm sorry, I harassed you." ”

"Your temperament...... Chen Qingzhou pressed her hand back, quite helpless, "Okay, I'm sorry, the way I asked was wrong, and I asked you to maliciously misinterpret my meaning." ”

"I'm not blaming you for asking too many questions that you shouldn't," he explained. I don't even suspect that you want to take something from me to others. ”

"Well, I understand." Ruan Shu lowered her eyes—she admitted, she did think that reflexively at that moment. She can't control it, she can't help it, her personality dictates it, and she has formed a thinking inertia. But now she is slowly learning to self-reflect afterwards, to reflect on the parts that are too extreme.

So, maybe he didn't mean that......

"You really understand?" Chen Qingzhou was a little skeptical, and wanted to laugh or not, "One Qingci, one you, you two really made me deeply understand how troublesome and difficult women are to deal with." Luckily, it's just the two of you that I have to worry about. ”

Ruan Shu: "......"

"Actually, I'm very welcome for you to ask me about things, and you are also welcome to ask me for information." Chen Qingzhou's eyes were dark, staring at her, with a look of suspected relief, "Because this will make me feel that you have begun to trust me a little, and you have invisibly begun to approach me." Even if we only maintain the current state, Uncle Rong and I are happy enough. It doesn't matter if you admit it or not, it doesn't matter. Those are all false, and getting along little by little every day is true. ”

Ruan Shu's eyes flashed, and he smiled detachedly: "Mr. Chen misunderstood, I-"

I didn't finish it. Because Chen Qingzhou suddenly raised his hand and rubbed her hair affectionately: "No need to explain. Let me and Uncle Rong continue to misunderstand. ”

"......" Ruan Shu quickly took a step back, avoiding his movements.

Chen Qingzhou's hand froze in mid-air, but it was not embarrassed, and he withdrew it with a smile.

"I still want to explain." Ruan Shu's brows furrowed, "The reason why I asked these questions and understood these is because I hope to be able to grasp a handle from it that is enough for Fu Lingyuan to pay attention to and solve the current stalemate with him." ”

"Ling Yuan's biggest trick, you've actually caught it, haven't you?" Chen Qingzhou looked at her with a bystander's expression, "The easiest and most direct way is for you to give his private ambitions to Lu Zhenhua. But you don't. Instead, embarrass yourself and struggle with the chains he has given you. Why? Because you don't want anything to happen to him. ”

Curling his fingers, Ruan Shu defended himself: "This is normal. The conflict between me and him is not to the point of killing him. ”

Chen Qingzhou pouted with his usual light smile, and did not continue to explore with her, but said, "Okay." I know. I don't mind making it easy for you here. ”

Ruan Shu read a kind of "see through but don't say it" from his expression, and she didn't like his self-righteousness very much.

"I don't have anything else to do. I went out first. Doesn't bother you. ”

"Go ahead. Be careful, your foot injury isn't all healed yet. Chen Qingzhou said warmly.

Walking out of the study, Ruan Shu's heart was a little blocked.

went downstairs, Huang Jinrong was still waiting for her, and hurriedly beckoned to her: "Girl, come on, you haven't finished eating your bird's nest." ”

Ruan Shu looked at him like this, a little cold: "No need Uncle Rong, I don't want to drink." ”

After saying that, he went straight back to his room, regardless of whether Huang Jinrong would be hurt by her bad attitude.

She is not a soft-hearted person, why does she repeatedly take into account Huang Jinrong's feelings?

If she can't go on like this, she has to adjust back to herself, to adjust back to her cold and hard self.

……

Without much delay, Ruan Shu went to the Lin Mansion the next afternoon.

After taking things from here that night, she thought she wouldn't come back, but it turned out to be ......

With a light breath, Ruan Shu stepped inside.

It seemed empty and deserted, but she knew that there were actually Fu Lingyuan's subordinates staring at it secretly. After all, this was once the place where Zhuang Peiyu stayed for most of her life, not to mention that there was a little daughter of Zhuang Peiyu who was most favored by her.

Ruan Shu sometimes thinks that Fu Lingyuan was really stupid at the beginning, obviously Lin Miaofu is easier to approach and easier to use, and she had to pick her hard bone at the beginning.

Stepping into the living room, a middle-aged woman greeted her and greeted her with her mouth: "Miss Ruan." ”

vaguely recognized that the other party was the nanny newly recruited by Fu Lingyuan and Li Qing for Lin Miaofu, and she was by Lin Miaofu's side on the day of Zhuang Peiyu's funeral.

But in fact, is there more of a nanny or a lot of surveillance?

His eyes narrowed slightly, Ruan Shu put down his thoughts, his face was pale, and he said lightly: "Hmm." I'll come back and get something. You're busy with your go. Leave me alone. ”

Lin Miaofu's voice came at this time: "Aunt Yu, is someone coming?" ”

The footsteps were very hurried, and the voice was full of urgency and anticipation.

Ruan Shu looked up at the second floor when he heard the voice.

The figure of Lin Miaofu, who had not been seen for a long time, had just arrived at the staircase.

The moment his eyes met, Ruan Shu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Lin Miaofu's current figure can already be included in the ranks of fat people. Not because of her big belly. Loose clothes look less noticeable in her lower abdomen. Because of pregnancy, I probably have enough nutrition, so my body is much plumper than before. It feels like a young girl has crossed over to a young woman.

Lin Miaofu obviously didn't expect her to come, and the whole person stood still, staring at her in disbelief, as if in disbelief, and called in a low voice: "Sister......"

This sound made Ruan Shu raise his eyebrows again, and then in the next few seconds, he witnessed Lin Miaofu's entire eye socket gradually reddening until she burst into tears.

Immediately, she took a step and ran downstairs.

It's really running.

That step, matching her figure, Ruan Shu looked frightened for her, thinking that if she accidentally stepped on the air and fell down, the child would be in danger.

Aunt Yu had already quickly stepped forward to support Lin Miaofu, and reminded worriedly: "Third Miss, slow down!" Slow down! ”

Ruan Shu stood still and didn't say a word, watching Lin Miaofu finally come down the stairs without incident, and walked straight towards her.

thought that Lin Miaofu's posture was about to pounce, but she suddenly stopped two steps away from her, stared at her, and her expression revealed a kind of homesickness and timidity, tears were still falling, and her voice was completely choked and called her again: "Sister......"

This one was even more pitiful than the last.

Also...... Quite sincerely.

I can't remember how many years I haven't heard her shout, and she shouted so from the bottom of her heart. It seems to go back to when Lin Miaofu was young and ignorant.

Shaking back his thoughts, Ruan Shu's face was indifferent: "I'm not dead yet, so I don't need to scream so sadly." ”

Lin Miaofu's tears fell more and more.

"Who are you crying for?" Ruan Shu was displeased, "Didn't I give you a good dress or didn't dress you well?" I didn't miss your living expenses every month. Isn't there a babysitter to serve? Look at your complexion, too. ”

Lin Miaofu bit her lip, as if she wanted to hold back her tears.

It was as if she had been bullied by her. Ruan Shu pursed her lips, but it was not good to say anything to her, and she didn't want to take care of her anymore, so she stepped forward.

Lin Miaofu grabbed her forearm nervously and fearfully: "You want to leave so soon?" ”

Ruan Shu frowned.

Lin Miaofu's face was frightened, and she quickly let go of her forearm and apologized: "I'm sorry, I won't touch you." I'm sorry. ”

Ruan Shu was stunned for a moment.

Lin Miaofu said timidly: "You...... Can you stay longer? ”

Ruan Shu stared at her, looked at her for a few seconds, and said lightly: "I didn't want to leave." I just came. I want to go into the temple and find something. ”

"What are you looking for? I'll help you with that! Lin Miaofu hurriedly said, her eyes full of anticipation, as if she was afraid that she would refuse.

Ruan Shu didn't say a word, turned around and walked in the direction of the Buddha Hall.

Behind him was Lin Miaofu's movements.

Ruan Shu glanced back, his expression slightly condensed.

Although no one uses it, the temple should be cleaned every day and not covered with dust.

Lin Miaofu took the initiative to go over to help open the window for ventilation, and asked again: "What are you looking for?" I'll help you with that. ”

"No, I don't. I'll take a look at it. Ruan Shu didn't raise his head, squatted in front of the bookshelf, opened the bottom cabinet door, and moved out the cardboard box inside.

The previous Diamond Sutra and Buddha beads had been taken away by her, and only the pages of the scriptures that Zhuang Peiyu had copied were left.

After a pause, she looked around the Buddhist hall and felt that there was nothing to see, so she went to Zhuang Peiyu's room again.

Zhuang Peiyu spent much more time in the Buddha hall than in the room.

Ruan Shu also came back after more than ten years, and found that the inside was arranged by her so simple that it was not like words. There is only a bed, a table, and a wardrobe. The sheets and curtains are all sea blue, and it really has the taste of a monk.

The bed and table were clear and empty. When I opened the wardrobe, all the clothes hanging inside were all Tsing Yi.

Ruan Shu opened all the drawers of the wardrobe.

Empty. Nothing.

After closing the closet, he suddenly thought, Fu Lingyuan estimated that he had made people search this house inside and out, right?

"What are you looking for?" Lin Miaofu asked for the third time.

"Nothing."

Ruan Shu turned around and walked back to the Buddhist hall, checked the pile of scripture pages in the cardboard box, thought for a moment, and said to Lin Miaofu: "I also took these away." ”

Since the pages of the scriptures were left on the mahogany table with the Diamond Sutra at that time, she should have assumed that they were useful for the time being. Otherwise, I always feel that this trip ends up empty-handed, and it is too worthless.

Lin Miaofu's attitude this time was completely different from the last time, and she nodded without hesitation: "Okay, you take it away." ”

Ruan Shu folded them, put them in his bag, and said goodbye: "It's okay." I'll go first. ”

Lin Miaofu grabbed her arm again: "Aunt Yu is cooking noodles, do you want to eat a bowl before leaving?" ”

Ruan Shu looked at her, glanced at her hand, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Isn't it annoying that I'm annoyed and don't want to see me? Didn't I mean I killed all of your family? Now what's going on? ”
