304 Leave them alone
The reason why Shen Mengqing chose to go head-to-head with Shen Mingru so quickly was because he didn't want to give him any more chance to set up a game. Losing Aye is a huge loss for him, and he is not completely sure that he can protect Su Siqi, so it is better to simply find out.
In fact, in his heart, he has already attributed the car accident four years ago to the current mastermind to the same person, that is, his father - Shen Mingru.
Because of a little delay at home, when Shen Mengqing and Su Siqi arrived in Bei'an, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and the Shen family arranged a car to pick them up, and he didn't mention Su Siqi on the phone, presumably Shen Mingru would be a little surprised to see her.
When the car drove into the big iron gate, Su Siqi saw Xue Xiyu standing on the steps from a distance, looking this way, no matter who came back in the family, as long as she said hello, she would stand there to greet her.
The car slowly stopped, Shen Mengqing opened the car door and came out, Xue Xiyu greeted him with a smile, but saw Shen Mengqing go around to the other side of the car and open the door, and took out a white arm from inside.
Xue Xiyu's smile froze, and she smiled brighter in an instant, and her voice was gentle: "Miss Su, welcome." ”
"Hello, Auntie." Su Siqi greeted politely.
Xue Xiyu said: "Meng Qing, why don't you say that Miss Su is also here, I can prepare a few dishes that she likes to eat." ”
Su Siqi whispered: "It doesn't matter, Auntie, I'm not a picky eater." In the Shen family, she has always been restrained, paying great attention to her words and deeds, for fear that the Shen family will seize the slightest handle from her as a reason to oppose her and Shen Mengqing.
Shen Mengqing was silent, only taking her hand and going into the house.
Shen Mingru sat on the sofa smoking a pipe, and when he saw them coming in hand in hand, his expression was a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down and showed a smile: "You guys are here, let's eat." ”
Shen Mengqing didn't miss this subtle expression, and sneered in his heart, was it unexpected? The person who is trying to get rid of it is not very pleasant to stand in front of him at this moment, right?
As soon as Su Siqi said hello to Shen Mingru, she heard Shen Bei'er shouting upstairs: "Is my brother back?" ”
With a rush of footsteps, she appeared at the staircase, like a cheerful bird, but as soon as she saw Su Siqi, the smile on her face immediately retracted, and she changed to a disdainful tone: "Why are you here?" ”
Su Siqi looked at her calmly: "Hello." ”
Shen Bei'er snorted and turned her head to look at Shen Mengqing: "Brother, are you having a bad brain, last time at the charity dinner, this woman and Duan Rongfei frowned, you didn't see it, how can you still ......?"
"Presumptuous!" Shen Mengqing's deep voice was cold.
Shen Bei'er stopped abruptly halfway through her words, she has always been lawless at home, even Shen Mingru can't help her, the only thing that makes her afraid is Shen Mengqing.
Shen Bei'er was scolded, sat down beside her mother stupidly, and Xue Xiyu whispered a lecture to her: "You deserve it, next time you are rude like this, your brother will still train you." ”
Shen Mingru played a round game, "Meng Qing, take Miss Su to the restaurant to sit." ”
Because the time was not too late, Shen Mingru and the others didn't eat, and wanted to wait for Shen Mengqing to dine together, but they didn't expect Shen Mengqing to bring Su Siqi back together.
The seating order is the same as Su Siqi's last time, she is sitting next to Shen Mengqing, opposite Shen Bei'er, next to Shen Bei'er is Xue Xiyu, and Shen Mingru is sitting on the main seat. When he picked up the chopsticks, the others followed suit and started eating.
In view of the experience of eating last time, Su Siqi was very silent this time, and occasionally she was only thanked softly when she was greeted by the rain, not as lively as last time.
None of them spoke, the atmosphere was naturally dull, and the huge dining room only heard the occasional sound of spoons touching the rim of the bowl. The servant, dressed in white and black trousers, stood behind him with his hands down, obeying his master's orders at any time.
Su Siqi was a little uncomfortable with such a dull atmosphere, and secretly observed other people with her spare eyes by picking up vegetables.
Shen Bei'er, who was directly opposite, looked at her from time to time, with a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth; Xue Xiyu on the opposite side didn't look at her, but she would pay attention to Shen Mingru and Shen Mengqing's father and son, and when she saw Shen Mingru coughing lightly, she immediately ordered the maid to make a bowl of soup; Shen Mingru's face was calm, no one looked at him, and his eyes fell on the dishes on the table. Shen Mengqing was expressionless, and his eyes were a little condensed.
Su Siqi sighed in her heart, instead of living in this kind of oppressive rich family, it is better to live a poor life with her old man, at least the atmosphere is harmonious and happy when eating.
As soon as the atmosphere was depressed, the time seemed to be very long, and Su Siqi didn't dare to eat too fast, because it would be inelegant, so she felt particularly tormented.
After eating seventy percent full, Su Siqi put down her chopsticks, and Shen Mengqing turned her head to look at her: "Full?" ”
"Well," she nodded slightly, stood up and smiled, "I've eaten well, everyone eat slowly." This is what Shen Bei'er said last time when she left the table, and she used what she learned.
Shen Mengqing also got up, politely left the table, and took her hand upstairs. Behind him, Xue Xiyu instructed the servants to serve them tea.
Su Siqi whispered on the stairs and asked, "Why don't you sit down for a while, it's rude, right?" ”
Shen Mengqing didn't lower his voice: "Don't worry about them." ”
Su Siqi was so frightened that she bumped into him: "You are quiet, they heard you." ”
Shen Mengqing repeated in the same voice: "Leave them alone. ”
Su Siqi was so embarrassed that she was speechless, the relationship with their family was not very good, but this guy not only did not repair it, but it got worse and worse.
After entering the room, the maid followed up and brought tea, and withdrew silently.
Su Siqi took the hot tea and blew: "Shen Mengqing, you can tell me now, why are you in such a hurry to come back?" And they came back with me. ”
Shen Mengqing took the teacup in her hand and put it down, holding her hand, "Siqi, you don't have to worry about anything, just know that I'm working hard for our happiness." ”
The man's dark eyes were firm, Su Siqi's heart trembled slightly, she knew, of course she knew that he had been working hard, but she didn't understand why he was in such a hurry to come back?
"Okay," Su Siqi nodded, she knew that something must have happened, but if the man didn't say it, she wouldn't ask, one day, he would take the initiative to tell her.
Shen Mengqing took a cup and drank two sips of tea silently, his eyes looked out of the window, the window was ajar, and the curtain gently fluttered in the night breeze, like a flying butterfly, he walked over and closed the window, the curtain was closed tightly, leaving no gaps. Like a considerate and warm-hearted good man.
Su Siqi sat there, looking at the man's back with a smile, she loved Shen Mengqing to do this kind of little thing for her, such as squatting down to pull her shoelaces, holding an umbrella for her on a rainy day, twisting the table lamp to the other side when she was sleeping, and draping her with a shawl when it was cold......
If you don't want to, it's enough, when she thinks about it, countless such little things come out of the long river of memory, which makes her heart sweet.
Shen Mengqing walked over, didn't sit down, looked at her and said, "I'll go out for a while, you stay here, don't open the door if anyone knocks," paused, and added: "I'm afraid that Belle will come in and make trouble for you." ”
Su Siqi nodded: "Okay, I know, you go, I'll watch TV." ”
Shen Mengqing turned on the TV and asked her to sit on the sofa to watch it before going out.
Soon Su Siqi heard someone knocking on the door, and after Shen Mengqing went out, she locked the door, so she simply didn't hear it, but the knocking stopped, and it was replaced by a man's voice and shouted: "Siqi, open the door, it's me." ”
Su Siqi hurriedly ran to open the door, Shen Mengqing came in with a fruit bowl and a hot water kettle, put the things down, and said, "You can lock the door this time." ”
This cold man has always been so thoughtful and careful, Su Siqi was very happy and kissed him on the lips, "Shen Mengqing, thank you." ”
Shen Mengqing hooked her waist and kissed her back, just tasted it, and quickly let go of her and walked out again.
When I went downstairs, Shen Mingru was not in the hall, and Xue Xiyu was not there, only Shen Beier was watching TV alone.
He asked coldly, "Where's Dad?" ”
"Probably out walking with my mom." Shen Bei'er hugged a big doll, rested her chin on it, tilted her head and looked at Shen Mengqing and stopped, "Brother......"
Shen Mengqing's insightful gaze was cold: "If you want to slander Su Siqi, please don't open your mouth." ”
Shen Bei'er's expression darkened, and she stopped talking.
Shen Mengqing went out from the door, and saw Shen Mingru and Xue Xiyu standing side by side on the lawn from a distance, a burly and tall figure, a small bird and a person, under the hazy moonlight, the two figures seemed to be snuggled together, looking affectionate.
At this moment, it is really difficult for Shen Mengqing to associate the mastermind behind the scenes with Shen Mingru, he is so gentle and affectionate in front of his wife, why is he cold and cruel when he turns his back, and designs to murder Su Siqi again and again? Does he have a dual personality?
Shen Mengqing strode towards his father, tonight, let them make an end!
Xue Xiyu took her husband's arm and whispered, "Meng Qing is here." ”
Shen Mingru sighed: "He came to find me." ”
"Then I'll avoid it."
Shen Mingru looked at his son who was striding in the night, sighed lightly, and patted his wife's hand in the crook of his arm, "It's okay, you go upstairs, I'll talk to him." ”
Xue Xiyu instructed him when he left: "The father and son quarreled individually, what is there to say." ”
Shen Mingru smiled bitterly and waved his hand to let his wife take the first step.
Xue Xiyu deliberately walked over to Shen Mengqing, and also instructed him: "Meng Qing, if you have something to say, tell your father, he has a bad heart." It's cool at night, so why don't you go to the study? ”
Shen Mengqing paused slightly and nodded with her, without saying a word, and walked forward again, until he walked in front of Shen Mingru.
"I want to talk to you."
"I know, you must have something to tell me, otherwise you wouldn't have come back in such a hurry and brought Miss Su back."
The corners of Shen Mengqing's mouth curved slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile: "If I don't bring her back, will you send someone to sneak into my house again, arrest her, or simply kill her with a knife!" ”
