Shen Qiu did not shy away from it, looked at him directly, and said word by word: "She is my sister, I know, I hope you know it too." "He's not a fool, he's been back in Lindong for so long, he should have known and known, and what he shouldn't know has been investigated.

Shen Lansheng's pupils shrank, revealing a shocked expression, and then immediately recovered, blurting out: "You know everything." ”

Shen Qiu didn't speak, only nodded. He didn't understand why his father always prevented him from getting close to Ruoruo, intentionally or unintentionally, just thinking that he was afraid that he would bring her badly, but now that he thinks about it, he is afraid, afraid that they will develop into an uncontrollable relationship.

However, they are brothers and sisters, and they have the same blood in their bones.

"You're too close." Shen Lansheng didn't hide it from him, and said bluntly, "Keep your distance." ”

Shen Qiu smiled gently and said, "I understand what you're worried about, but it's useless, worrying about it is useless, but hurts your body." ”

Shen Lansheng looked at his son in front of him, his edges and corners were somewhat similar to him, but he was still more like his mother, not as cold as him, Shen Qiu's entire eyebrows and eyes were a lot softer, which was also destined to have very different personalities. Shen Qiu is as gentle as jade, not like he is indifferent.

He sighed slightly, how could he not worry, the two got close when they were in England, and he also thought it was a brother and sister relationship, but how could he not want to, he also thought that he was a brother and sister at the beginning, and it ended up being an irreparable fault.

He didn't want the two of them to go down the same path as him.

"You're old enough to take a wife."

"If the industry is not successful, don't dare to mislead people." Shen Qiu chuckled when he heard this, and raised his eyebrows, if it wasn't for the sake of gaining a foothold in Lindong, he would not have agreed to the marriage with the Zeng family, he was a businessman, so he naturally put his interests first, and now it was easy for him to be alone.

Shen Lansheng shook his head, disagreed with his statement, and said, "You almost know about the affairs of the firm. ”

"I want to go to the capital." Shen Qiu was still smiling, but the light of his eyebrows and eyes was impossible to ignore, this look, if Ling Yuan was here, he would definitely be amazed, he was exactly the same as Shen Lansheng when he was young, a rising careerist.

Shen Lansheng frowned, then let go again, and was silent for a while before saying, "It's good that you can have this idea." What happened? ”

Shen Qiu was overjoyed in his heart, his father agreed to let go, and said, "Thank you, father." If it's all right, she's probably hoping you can see her. ”

"Do whatever you want." When Shen Lansheng heard this, she waved her hand a little weakly, Su Ruo has been smart since she was a child, and when she guessed that he was her father, she began to slowly distance herself from him, and even her words were not salty.

Shen Qiu glanced at him, every time as long as it was a matter of Ruoruo, his father always wanted to move forward, but he cowered and did not move forward, coupled with his compulsion, which led to a deeper and deeper misunderstanding between the two people.

As a child, he had wondered countless ways why his father was so kind to his new cousin that he was jealous, but every time he tried to ignore her, he disappeared without a trace under the gaze of her clear amber eyes.

It seems to be inherently close, not suspicious. The blood relationship is so wonderful, he can spoil her and spoil her at will, not for anything else, just because he is her brother.

Shen Qiu looked back at his old back, his black hair was mixed with white hair, the years had left indelible traces on his body, he was working every day during this time, Lindong was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and it was already turbulent in private.

Shen Lansheng walked to the table and sat down. He pulled out a yellowed book from a pile of books on the table, stroked it gently, and then opened it, his eyes softened. Inside is a picture of a girl. The girl smiled very happily, with delicate facial features, eyes full of aura, and a smile without a trace of impurities, which made it easy for people to have a good impression.

Her eyebrows and eyes are seven points similar to Su Ruo, and she is Su Ruo's mother.

After Shen Qiu left, Su Ruo lay on the bed to rest, his mind was like a mess. First it was blank, and then she thought of Xu Zhengyan, he seemed to be very close and far away from her, sometimes she felt that she could grab him as soon as she stretched out her hand, but the distance of this arm seemed to be as far away as a galaxy.

Xu Zhengting's voice echoed in her ears again, and her low and laughing voice kept lingering in her ears, Su Ruo scratched her hair irritably, since she came to Lindong, all kinds of messy things have come one after another. She covered her head with the quilt to keep herself from thinking about it, it was simply hurting her brain cells.

Su Ruo stayed for several days in a row, and except for seeing Shen Lansheng at the dinner table, he didn't look for her again, but just asked a few words about how her body was, which was different from him before. During this period, Gu Yue also came to see her once, but she said how relaxed she was after she left the hospital, and the angry Su Ruo almost kicked her out.

The day before yesterday she got up to answer a phone call, and she answered it, just about to say that her uncle and cousin were not there, and asked someone to call later. As soon as he took it, he heard Xu Zhengting's voice and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

After chattering a few words with him, he said the purpose of his call. Two days later, a celebration banquet will be held at Xu's house, and he has come to inform her of the time. After Su Ruo hung up the phone, he suddenly realized that a long time had passed since the previous Battle of Nanshankou.

Night.

Originally, the three members of the Shen family were invited to go, but Shen Lansheng excused herself and said that she was not feeling well and did not go, so this heavy responsibility fell on her and Shen Qiu. Shen Qiu also resisted, but he couldn't resist Xu Zhengting's requests.

Su Ruo wore a water-blue evening dress and a white shawl today, which was generous. But in Su Ruo's words, it is more important to keep warm when the weather is cold.

When the two were welcomed into the door, there were already many guests in the hall, Su Ruo held Shen Qiu and followed him to greet those people, with a decent smile on his lips, and Shen Qiu also had a bit of a talented and beautiful feeling.

Shen Qiu saw Xu Zhengting in a suit and leather shoes from a distance, smiling and talking to people, so he took Su Ruo and walked over there, Su Ruo had never had the habit of wearing glasses at a dinner like this, so he followed him.

After they got closer, the person who was talking to Xu Zhengting left, and Su Ruo saw that the person in front of him was Xu Zhengting. She frowned invisibly, reached out and twisted Shen Qiu's waist fiercely, and then showed a bright smile and greeted Xu Zhengting.

"Seven young people are good."

Shen Qiu was in pain, this girl didn't know how to make it lighter, and she couldn't show it on her face, so she hurriedly pulled out a smile and greeted her together.

Xu Zhengting understood from the sidelines, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, looked at her with a smile and said, "Miss Su hasn't seen you for a long time, and you won't tell me when you go home, I'll let Xiao Qin send you." ”

Su Ruo smiled politely, and said a little detachedly: "Thank you Qishao for your kindness, I still have my cousin here." ”

"Keyu is naturally relieved for me." Xu Zhengting smiled, there seemed to be a little starlight flickering in his dark eyes, and he changed his words and said, "Keyu is also a busy person now." ”

Shen Qiu patted him on the shoulder with a smile, shook his head and said, "Zhengting, don't make fun of me, who can compare to you who is very busy?" Didn't the Military Commission give you a promotion again? ”

Su Ruo knew when he heard this, Shen Qiu had been really busy recently, so busy that he could hardly see his figure, so he asked, "What has my cousin been busy with lately?" ”

Xu Zhengting was stunned for a moment, glanced at her, then looked at Shen Qiu, and gestured to him with his eyes, Shen Qiu smiled and nodded when he saw this, and then he said, "Your cousin is going to the capital soon." ”

"Beijing?" Su Ruo's eyes widened, why did his cousin suddenly want to go to the capital, why didn't he mention it to her?

"Cousin, what are you doing in the capital?"

Seeing her surprised expression, Shen Qiu couldn't help but smile, touched her head, and said, "I can't rely on my father for everything, let alone a good man's ambitions." ”

Xu Zhengting laughed and said, "Keyu is ambitious, admire and admire." didn't care about the mutual praise between them, Su Ruo just looked up at Shen Qiu, didn't speak, and secretly had a plan in his heart.

Xu Zhengting stayed with the two of them for a while, and was called away, saying that there were guests in front of him who needed him to entertain him personally, and then he left, after all, this celebration banquet was opened by the Xu family, his home field.

Su Ruo and Shen Qiu didn't stay long, Shen Qiu also had to deal with those politicians and businessmen, and he didn't have time to take care of her, Su Ruo didn't care much, waved his hand to signal him to go, and he found a place to sit at random.

She never liked to deal with this kind of thing, and the business flattery made her feel hypocritical.

Su Ruo picked up a red cocktail from a nearby table and took a sip, sweet and sour, not bad. Her gaze wandered between the fields and the doorway, as if searching for someone.

Suddenly, a big hand gently patted her shoulder behind her, Su Ruo was suddenly startled, she almost didn't hold the wine glass steadily, and when she turned her head, she saw an angular and quite handsome face, he was He Chaoyang.

"Director He? You're here too? Seeing that it was him, Su Ruo couldn't help but flash a trace of disappointment in her heart, but she was also pleasantly surprised, she would always be inexplicably kind when she met a familiar person.

He Chaoyang didn't miss the disappointment that flashed in her eyes, and said with a chuckle: "I was invited to come, I scared you just now, right?" Excuse me. ”

Su Ruo looked at him and smiled and said, "How can it be, my ability to resist pressure is still very strong." He Chaoyang did not wear a military uniform today, but a black suit, and the black just showed his hardness, and the whole person looked very energetic.

He Chaoyang remembered that her eyes had been looking in the direction of the door, so he followed her line of sight, and there was only Xu Zhengting who was smiling at the door, and he remembered what he saw in Lingyuan Mansion that day, and a smile appeared on his lips, so he asked, "Is Miss Su waiting for someone?" ”
