Xue Xiyu was a little surprised when she heard the maid say that the eldest young master was back, because Shen Mengqing did not greet him in advance. She hurriedly greeted her out, and saw that the taxi that sent Shen Mengqing back was turning around and driving towards the gate, Shen Mengqing carried a small bag in her hand, slowly walked up the steps, and saw her say hello: "Aunt Xu." ”

Xue Xiyu smiled and said, "Meng Qing, why don't you come back and say hello?" The family will send a car to pick you up! ”

"It was decided temporarily," Shen Mengqing asked, "Is my dad going back at noon?" ”

"I called him, knowing that if you come back, he will definitely come back."

"Belle's not here?"

Xue Xiyu shook her head helplessly: "How can she stay at home, she ran out early in the morning and went crazy." I told your dad that Belle is not young, and she can't let her play crazy all day long, and she has to find something serious to do, but your dad always doesn't listen, so let her go, I can't help it, maybe it will be better when I get married in a few years. ”

Shen Mengqing didn't answer, smiled faintly, and went straight upstairs. He knew what his stepmother meant, and he just wanted him to mention it in front of his father, and he had mentioned it before, but his father liked to be used to Belle like this, and he couldn't help it.

Probably Xue Xiyu called, Shen Mingru came back early, Shen Mengqing stood by the window and watched his father's car come from the gate, and stopped steadily under the steps, Xue Xiyu went up to take the official bag in his hand, Shen Mingru smiled gently, hugged his wife's waist, and kissed her lightly on the face.

Shen Mengqing can't remember how many years, it seems that the two of them have been like this since he can remember, no matter whether his father goes out or comes back, his stepmother will always come out to pick him up, and his father will always hold her waist and kiss her lightly, this is the etiquette between husband and wife abroad, but in China, it is not easy to keep it all the time, it is probably a natural habit, but it is not a deliberate pattern. He could always see the deep affection for each other on their faces. After more than 20 years of being in the same boat through thick and thin, it is not unenviable that love can still be so fresh.

Xue Xiyu didn't know what to say, Shen Mingru looked up at the window on the second floor, Shen Mengqing didn't dodge, shook his hand down, and said hello.

He finished his cigarette before going downstairs, the meal was already on the table, and the father and son talked about some business as usual. Xue Xiyu gave a chopstick dish to Shen Mengqing, and he thanked him politely. There wasn't much to talk about, so it quickly quieted down, and the servant stood behind with his hands down, and the only sound of the big floor clock ticking in the huge house could be heard.

Sitting in a palatial house, with exquisite tableware, eating high-class food, but it is not pleasant, this home always has an oppressive atmosphere.

Shen Mengqing remembered that he was eating at Su Siqi's house, the three of them were around the small round table, Su Siqi was giggling, Su Qirong occasionally nagged with a straight face, he was always smiling, the atmosphere was completely different, as if eating like that, the food was fragrant, and the mood was happy. He has been taught the rules of eating since he was a child, and his manners are elegant and slow, but in Su Siqi's house, he will always be influenced by her to forget the rules, and he eats with a greasy mouth, but there is a kind of pleasure that he has never had.

He has never eaten much, and he was the first to put down his chopsticks and get up: "I've eaten well, you eat slowly." ”

Xue Xiyu said: "I specially made the dishes you like to eat, eat a little more." ”

"It's full." Shen Mengqing said lightly, turned around and went to the living room. I heard Xue Xiyu instructing the servant: "Quickly serve tea to the eldest young master." ”

In fact, the servant will do it without her command, but forever, she will say it as if it were her obligation.

The tea is steaming with heat, exuding a fragrance, the family likes to drink black tea, a small French teacup, hanging a small black tea bag, placed in the saucer is a picture of advertising. This home is full of nobility and elegance. Shen Mengqing leaned on the sofa, looked around the room, and couldn't help but sigh, this is the fine clothes and jade food that the world is pursuing, but living in it does not necessarily mean true happiness.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Shen Mingru came over: "Meng Qing, how long do you plan to stay when you come back this time?" ”

"Originally, there were some things to deal with, but now it seems that there is no need to do it, and I will leave in the afternoon."

"It's rare to come back and stay a few more days with my father."

Shen Mengqing pondered for a moment: "Dad, I have something to ask you." ”

Shen Mingru looked at his son lovingly: "If you have anything to say, just ask." ”

Shen Mengqing glanced at the servants walking around the room: "Let's go to the study and talk." ”

Shen Mingru was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay, go to the study and say, you are so cautious, Dad is curious." ”

So the father and son went upstairs and went into the study.

Shen Mengqing sat down and got straight to the point: "Dad, do you know who did the car accident four years ago?" ”

"It was an accident."

"You know in your heart that it wasn't an accident." Shen Mengqing stared straight at him, trying to see a little clue from his face.

Shen Mingru was silent for a long time before sighing: "Meng Qing, that incident has been so long, don't pursue it anymore, some things are too clear, but embarrassing, after all, your mother is ......" Speaking of this, he paused, "Forget it, don't mention it." ”

Shen Mengqing's gaze carried some kind of persecution: "It wasn't Ms. Shi who did it, I always thought she did it all these years, but she denied it herself, she didn't do it." ”

"Do you believe her too?"

"Sometimes it's credible. has been carrying the black pot for four years, why does she suddenly deny it? ”

"She really denies it?"

"Yes, and swore a poisonous oath, you know her, although she is not very good, but she has her own bottom line, I believe she is telling the truth."

Shen Mingru touched his chin and looked calm: "If that's the case, I don't know, I'm the same as you, and I always thought she did it." ”

"Ms. Shi said she didn't know who did it, let me ask you."

Shen Mingru sneered: "Nonsense, how would I know that your mother is a fox and is the best at confusing the public." I wonder why she denied it? I'm afraid that I'm brewing some kind of conspiracy again. Your mother's person, you should know her! ”

Shen Mengqing looked at his father, and nodded half-loudly: "Yes, I know her, probably really brewing a conspiracy." ”

Shen Mingru took out his pipe and knocked it on the edge of the table, and then put it on the table: "You came back to ask me about this?" ”

"Yes."

"Just because your mother told you to ask me?"

"Yes."

"If you find out who did it, what are you going to do?"

"Give Siqi justice."

Shen Mingru sighed, "Meng Qing, you are really crazy. ”

"Do you want to let the bad guys get away with it? Shouldn't you be punished for doing something wrong? ”

"The case was closed at the time, and the person who did the wrong thing had been punished."

"You know the bad guy I'm referring to isn't the big truck driver. Isn't it obvious that although he is in prison, his family is doing well? After a pause, Shen Mengqing said again: "Dad, you don't seem to want me to go over the old case again?" ”

"Dad doesn't want to make a difference, and turning things that have already passed into the past will only make everyone unhappy. Including that Miss Su, she probably didn't want to recall such a terrible thing again. ”

"She's not as weak as you think," Shen Mengqing stood up: "I'll go back." ”

Shen Mingru then stood up: "I'll leave after dinner." ”

"No, it's not good to fly at night." Shen Mengqing said lightly, and his feet had already stepped out of the door.

Shen Mingru sat down again, picked up the pipe on the table, and slowly stuffed tobacco into it, looking thoughtful.

Xue Xiyu was sitting in the living room drinking tea, and when she saw Shen Mengqing hurriedly going downstairs and walking out, she asked, "Meng Qing, where are you going in such a hurry?" ”

Shen Mengqing said: "I'll go back." ”

Xue Xiyu was very surprised, and hurriedly followed: "Why did you just come back and leave, Belle hasn't seen you yet?" Stay one night and leave tomorrow, right? ”

"No, I still have something." Shen Mengqing kept talking and had already walked out of the door.

Xue Xiyu said: "Hey, you wait, I just want to go out, let's send you, save the driver from another trip." ”

Shen Mengqing paused and said, "That's okay, where are you going?" ”

Xue Xiyu called the driver to prepare the car, and then said: "I made a new cheongsam, go and try my body." ”

Shen Mengqing knew that Xue Xiyu liked to wear cheongsam, and every year she had to make a few pieces in the century-old shop in the city, which were basically improved, sometimes worn at home, and sometimes worn at banquets.

So Shen Mengqing went out with her car, and the driver drove the car very steadily. Shen Mengqing and Xue Xiyu sat in the back row, the middle was very open, he was not close to his stepmother, he rarely sat in the car together, he felt that his stepmother was like a woman who did not eat fireworks in the world, she was always a good-natured smile, and she was polite to everyone. It seems that his father dotes on Shen Beier very much, but Shen Mengqing knows that his father's favorite thing is actually his stepmother, and he will always respond to her needs. No matter how hard it is to get the things she likes, her father will work tirelessly all over the world to collect them for her.

It takes a lot of love for someone to be like this, right?

Just like him, because of that love, he longs to bring the whole world to her. As long as she smiled at him, he was satisfied.

The road in Bei'an can never be smooth, the car stops and goes, Shen Mengqing almost dozed off, he is actually used to closing his eyes in the car to recuperate, but he doesn't want to let himself sleep, so he twists his head to the side to look at the street scene outside the window.

The wide road, full of cars, he frowned slightly, his tired eyes slowly cleared, just in front of the right, a black sedan entered his sight, the license plate with white letters on a blue background was very familiar, and above the license plate was the sign of four circles.

His heart moved, but he didn't expect it to take no effort. Raised his hand to look at the time, and said to Xue Xiyu: "I suddenly remembered, there is still something to do, so I won't leave for the time being, I'll go here." ”

Xue Xiyu said: "That's okay, let's come back for dinner in the evening." ”

Shen Mengqing nodded: "Okay, I'll go back when I'm done." ”

Xue Xiyu asked the driver to pull over and let Shen Mengqing go down.

Shen Mengqing stood on the side of the road and stretched out his hand to hail a taxi, he couldn't catch up with the decked Audi car, but it didn't matter, he could find the car when there was time and a road section.

He just thought it was a little incredible, in the morning he thought that the clue would be interrupted, but in the afternoon it was a little too coincidental, as if there was a big hand in the dark manipulating all this.
