The sky had been overcast since the morning, and now it was almost noon, and although it was not raining, there was no sign of clearing, so it should be the rainy season. Lin Yuhan was reading a book in her room, she looked up at the window from time to time, thinking that she should bring an umbrella when she went to find Xinlian in the afternoon.

There was movement downstairs, and Yuhan listened attentively, it was his father who came back. In the past few days, my father has been very busy going out early and returning late, saying that he wants to do a big business of tickets, and the company's resurrection is just around the corner, and it is fresh to come back so early today. Downstairs, the parents were talking louder and louder, as if they were arguing over something.

Yuhan couldn't hear what they were saying, so he gently pushed open the door and walked slowly downstairs along the stairs.

Her mother has a gentle temperament and has never contradicted her father, but at this time she heard her excited voice: "Don't think about this kind of thing!" I won't tell you, a few days ago, Cousin Rongqin came to propose to Yuhan, and the other party was the third young master of the Yang family. I think it's quite appropriate, and I saw two children talking about it that day in Yangfu's birthday, so I quickly responded to this family business. ”

"The third young master of the Yang family? Is it the bastard who brought in?! Father slapped the table, "You can figure it out!" The eldest wife of the Yang family and those aunts wanted to sweep that kid out of the house too early, what property can he get after getting married? must be out of the house, Yuhan has to suffer with him. ”

"No matter how you say it, you can't just give your daughter to that James, we don't know the details of that foreigner at all, and there are so many young girls around him, he's a playboy, isn't this pushing his daughter into the fire pit? And this nameless and shareless, what's the difference with a mistress? ”

When my father heard the word "mistress", he was also a little dumbfounded, and his voice slowed down and said: "The idea of foreigners is to be more open, and you should not be so conservative." Since Mr. James brought it up, it must be because he likes us Yuhan. I think the second miss of the Yang family is also interesting to James, so where can we compare with the Yang family? So, I guess Mr. James may have to wait until he becomes a relative to Miss Yang Er, and then accept Yuhan as his aunt's wife......"

Yuhan couldn't bear it anymore, she ran down the stairs and rushed out of the door. Her mother reacted and called her in the back, and she didn't stop.

The father muttered, "What is she trying to do?" Do you want to run away from home? Are there any parents in your eyes? …… Look what you've spoiled her! ”

Lin Yuhan was running on the street, and at this time the sky was already raining lightly, and the street was deserted. The cool raindrops on her face made her gradually calm down, and her thoughts gradually cleared, and she began to ponder the whole thing carefully. She and that Mr. James had only met once at the Yang Mayor's Birthday Banquet, and the Englishman probably hadn't even looked at her, and didn't know her at all. There were so many guests that day, and there were many beautiful ladies surrounding him, don't mistake any other lady's for her Lin Yuhan. Thinking about it like this, it seems to understand a lot, Yuhan stood on the cold street and looked around, identified the direction, and then walked quickly towards the "Wang Ji Tailor Shop".

Probably because it was raining lightly, there were no customers in the tailor shop. Wang Xinlian's father, Boss Wang, was not in the store, so Yuhan said hello to the shopkeeper Uncle Zhang and walked straight into the backyard. This is a decent Chinese-style courtyard house, Yuhan stood under the eaves and patted his clothes, wiped the water droplets from his hair, and then whispered to the window of the west wing: "Xinlian, Xinlian!" ”

Wang Xinlian poked her head out of the door, "Yuhan! He smiled and waved at her, "Come in!" ”

The two entered the house, and Xinlian pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed, "Why didn't you hold an umbrella?" Look, it's all wet. I'll go get you a handkerchief and wipe it. ”

Yuhan grabbed her, "Xinlian, all I can think of is you." ”

Xinlian realized that Yuhan's expression was wrong, and she asked worriedly, "What?" What's wrong? ”

"I'll tell you the details later. Can you first help me inquire about an Englishman named James, who is an overseas Chinese, where can I find him? ”

"James? Isn't it the boss of that big British company? I heard the ladies and ladies who came to the store talking. ”

Yuhan nodded.

"What are you looking for him?"

"I'm in a hurry, I need to see him right away."

Xinlian saw that Yuhan was preoccupied, afraid that something really big, and then said, "You wait." Then he turned around and went out.

Yuhan sat alone in the room, staring at the window lattice in a daze, thinking in his heart what to say if he met. Before she could figure it out, Xinlian had already returned.

"It just so happened that a few days ago, a customer bought fine silk in the store and sent it to Mr. James, which was sent by a guy from my store, saying that it was in the room on the right side of the sixth floor of the Chinachem Hotel, and I can't remember the room number."

There was a result so quickly, which made Yuhan, who was in deep thought, slightly stunned, and then she seemed to suddenly wake up, got up and said, "Xinlian, I'll go first." Then he rushed out the door.

Xinlian was still shouting behind: "Take an umbrella and go!" "Yuhan is gone.

It was still drizzling, but now it is getting denser and denser. Yuhan ran until the gate of the Chinachem Hotel before standing, and he rushed in in a panic, afraid that he would be stopped by the doorman and not allowed to enter. She calmed her breath a little, pretended to be calm and walked through the revolving door, without attracting anyone's attention, and went straight up the stairs.

The corridor of the Chinachem Hotel was covered with a thick and soft carpet, and there was no sound at all when you stepped on it, and the entire sixth floor was unusually quiet, and Yuhan could almost hear the sound of her heart pounding. There were only two doors on the right side of the stairs, Yuhan knocked on one of them, and when there was no response, she went to knock on the other one.

At this time, the first door she had knocked on just now opened behind Yuhan with a "hula" sound, startling her. Mr. James's clear, slightly impatient face appeared in the door, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw the comer, but quickly regained his composure, and then silently let the door open and turned to enter.

This is a luxurious presidential suite, after entering the door is a huge living room, the carpet and furniture are very exquisite, the center of the living room is placed a set of Western-style milky white sofa, there is a set of luxurious Western-style executive desk by the window, on which there are some English documents and papers, James is sitting behind the desk. Yuhan followed up and stood in the center of the living room, facing the platform two or three meters away. Mr. James stared at her fixedly, without speaking, and without any expression on his face.

Yu Han calmed down, took a deep breath and said, "Mr. James, I am the daughter of Lin Daxun, the owner of Shengda Construction Company, named Lin Yuhan. I took the liberty to visit because you might have misunderstood. I don't know which lady you mistook for me to make such an unbelievable offer to my father. I just want to clarify with you that I am Lin Yuhan, and I ask you to withdraw your proposal. ”

Yuhan finished speaking in one breath, then stood in place with her hands clasped tightly, and the room was so quiet that you could hear the sound of water droplets sliding down her ears.

After a while, Mr. James moved his body a little and said lightly, "Well, I understand." Then he looked down and began to look at the papers on the table.

Yuhan waited, he didn't seem to have anything else to say to her, the matter seemed to have been negotiated.

"Now that you understand, I'll take my leave." Yuhan whispered, "Sorry to disturb you. Then she quickly turned and went out, and gently closed the door, as if afraid that something would happen again. Yuhan stroked her chest and let out a sigh, just now she felt that she was almost suffocating, that Mr. James had a suffocating sense of oppression.

After a while, James put down the papers in his hand, stood up, walked to the window, and stood still. The sky outside was gloomy, and the raindrops hit the glass from sparse to dense, gradually blurring the water of the Huangpu River opposite, and the black smoke coming out of the chimneys of the steamers on the river slowly rose and finally connected with the sky, a black and misty piece, which made people breathless.
