Chapter 45: Xi Yu's questioning
Shen Mi raised his head, one hand flusteredly pulling a tissue from his bag.
"Are you alright?" A nice male voice suddenly sounded, and then a soft handkerchief was shoved into her hand.
"Thank you." She thanked her politely.
"You don't look good, do you want to go to the hospital?" The man asked with concern.
Shen Mi blocked his bleeding nose, and then he lowered his head and saw his face clearly.
She didn't know this person, handsome, with a worried look on his face, looking at her face.
She reacted in hindsight that she didn't seem to have any bad feelings except for nosebleeds, so much so that she thought that Liu Chenyi had poisoned the biscuits and wanted to poison her......
It's probably because Shi Yuan drank too much tonic medicine, which made people angry.
"I'm fine, thank you." She took off her handkerchief and touched her nose, and found that the bleeding had stopped, but the man's soft handkerchief had been stained shockingly.
"This ...... I'll pay you one, right? I'm really embarrassed......" Shen Mi smiled embarrassedly.
The man smiled, "It's okay, little thing." Are you sure you're okay? Look at your face is not very good. β
"Thanks, I'm fine." Shen Mi said, figuring out this handkerchief in her hand, the soft texture was very good, plus the man in front of her was dressing, straight trousers and a shirt without wrinkles, this thing that was soiled by her should not be a bargain.
"I'll pay you a bill." She insisted.
The man tilted his head and shook the mobile phone in his hand, "If you insist on compensation, then I will give you my contact information, and if you buy it, call me." β
Shen Mi blinked and nodded approvingly.
Taking her phone, the man quickly typed a string of numbers into her phone and handed it to her.
"Lin Chuan, I have a note."
"Okay, I see, I'm sorry."
"I still have something to do, and I'm out of company." Lin Chuan tugged at the corners of his mouth at her, and then pushed the door and entered the restaurant where she came out just now.
Shen Mi didn't want Liu Chenyi to meet her again when the madman came out, so he went to a nearby shopping mall and sat down and waited for Song Shuwen's blind date to end.
After a while, Song Shuwen hurried over and looked at her worriedly.
"How did you get out? It's over? β
"No, why did you leave all of a sudden? That man, it doesn't seem like he's a good stubble, he's bullying you? Song Shuwen said, her eyebrows frowning, as if as long as Shen Mi nodded, she would go back to clean up Liu Chenyi.
"It's a long story, it's people I know, but the relationship is not very good." Shen Mi smiled, not planning to talk to her in detail.
"Didn't bully you, did you?" Song Shuwen looked at her once, and then relieved herself, "I'm over here, do you want to go have some breakfast?" β
"It's over so soon, how's the talk? I think the man's appearance is really good. Shen Mi smiled, stood up, and the two of them walked to see if there was anything delicious around.
"Hmm..... That's it, I don't have much experience with blind dates. Song Shuwen groaned and replied ambiguously.
"You can see your personality from the way you walk, and you can see the self-cultivation from the way you speak, what do you think?" Shen Mi blinked, annoying Liu Chenyi who was having convulsions at this moment, and she didn't notice anything.
"I didn't pay attention." Song Shuwen replied coldly.
"It's really not that easy...... "Shen Mi sighed pointedly.
It's not easy to forget one, and it's even harder to accept another.
It is estimated that she is based on Xi Lie, and under that standard, she should be unqualified.
"Let's go and eat, just drink the medicine in the morning, and I'll be on fire." Thinking about her, she smiled, dragged Song Shuwen and quickly left the place.
After eating, Shen Mi felt a little sleepy, and the two went back to rest.
The days are dull and boring, Shen Mi gets up every day except to sleep to draw sketches, and Song Shuwen went out to eat with his blind date a few times during the period, but there is no specific news.
Xi Lie occasionally sent a text message or two, and because of the time difference, she couldn't see it in time, but Shi Yuan often called her to ask about the current situation, whether she had finished taking the tonic and so on.
Liu Chenyi hasn't bothered her since that day, and she doesn't know if she has changed sex, or if she is brewing a bigger conspiracy, she doesn't bother to think about it.
Today, she got up early in the morning, finished drawing the manuscript, and then thought about tidying up the wardrobe, in the past two days with Song Shuwen was bored shopping everywhere to buy clothes, and the cabinet that was originally empty was actually stuffed with more than half of it.
"Tut-tut, I can't tell I'm still a loser......" Shen Mi sighed while tidying up, and suddenly a small piece of cloth fell to the ground.
She looked down and was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted, it was Lin Chuan's handkerchief last time!
She washed it and didn't throw it away, and was going to go to the mall to buy a similar model, but the spirit was not very good recently, and she forgot about this stubble!
There was a small sign on the handkerchief, and she took a picture and searched the Internet for the same model.
After seeing the string of numbers on those price codes, she couldn't help but be speechless.
"Sure enough, poverty limited my imagination, a handkerchief...... It's five figures! β
This nosebleed is really worth a lot!
I searched the specialty store in Cloud City, and there really was one that sold it, and it was in the shopping mall near my home.
"I'll go buy something nearby and I'll be back in a moment." She said to Song Shuwen.
"Do you want me to accompany you?" Song Shuwen was standing upside down by the window without moving.
"No, it's in the nearby mall, I'll be back soon, you, if you have something, just go and get busy, I won't run around." Shen Mi smiled at her, changed her shoes, and went out.
In the early morning, there are many beautiful women shopping in the mall, and there are always one or two men behind them carrying things, and there is a faint smell of perfume in the air.
After looking around for a long time, she found a place and took out a handkerchief, "Is there this one for sale?" β
The shopping guides glanced at her who was not good-looking, "This is a co-branded limited edition, and it has long been out of print." β
The silent eye contact, as if watching a humiliating actor holding a replica.
"......" Shen Mi was stunned, she didn't pay attention to it just now, it was actually a limited edition, "Is there anything of the same grade?" Or about the same price? β
"Yes, yes, but the price will be a little higher." The shopping guide said euphemistically.
"Ah, Shen Mi?"
As soon as a female voice fell, I saw Lin Shanshan walking over with a smile on her faceline with a big belly and a mysterious hairline.
Shen Mi glanced at her, and didn't intend to pay attention to her, but politely said to the shopping guide: "Can you show me which one?" β
"Eh, husband, this one is good! Pair it with your suit. Lin Shanshan saw the purple handkerchief taken out by the shopping guide, her eyes lit up, and she quickly took it with her thin hand, and said with a smile.
"Please, get me another one." Shen Mi squeezed out a smile, knowing that Lin Shanshan was making her uncomfortable, but she didn't want to be like her in this kind of place.
"I'm sorry, this is the ...... in our store," the shopping guide smiled awkwardly.
"I want it!" Lin Shanshan said quickly, and took out a card from the pocket of the man next to her, "Swipe the card!" β
The shopping guide hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that Shen Mi had a cold face and didn't speak, he took Lin Shanshan's card and made a gesture to swipe it.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to ask for that." Shen Mi said coldly, raising his chin, quite tough.
"This ......"
The shopping guide saw Shen Mi take out a small purse from a miscellaneous bag that he had never seen before, and then pulled out a card.
Immediately, his face changed.
Shen Mi breathed a sigh of relief, Xi Lie left all the cards for her when he left, and specially explained that this black card is the best to use, as long as it is taken out, many things can be changed from complicated to extremely simple.
"I'm sorry for this young lady, it was this customer who asked to see it first, so ......" The shopping guide returned Lin Shanshan's card with great insight, and Lin Shanshan's face changed with anger.
"Tsk, I can't see it, I married a rich man, and the rich man's set learned quite quickly." Lin Shanshan sneered.
Shen Mi smiled and put away the wrapped handkerchief, "You're not bad." β
"Okay, I didn't like that color either, it's like a sissy." The man on the side patted Lin Shanshan's shoulder, gasped, and said disdainfully.
The goal was achieved, and she didn't want to quarrel with this kind of bully for more trouble, so she turned around and left here.
"Hmph, that's annoying!" Lin Shanshan snorted coldly, "What qualifications does she have to shout in front of me, wait!" β
"Can you give me some refreshment? If you're bored, go abroad on vacation! You don't look at the cards people take, I can't afford to provoke such a powerful person in Cloud City, don't make trouble for me, otherwise go back to your broken yard! The man shook off her hand irritably, and walked away with a gloomy face, leaving Lin Shanshan to stomp her feet angrily and anxiously.
As if remembering something, she took out her mobile phone and broadcast the phone with a smile.
"I'll help you get the thing you said, but I have one condition......"
Out of the store, Shen Mi found a secluded place to call Lin Chuan, rang for a long time, but no one answered, and in desperation, she had to pace home.
From a distance, I saw Xi Yu waiting downstairs at her house.
She hadn't seen this little uncle for several days since the last time.
Somehow, she was a little worried that he would come to her, and that something not so good would happen every time.
"Xiaoyu, why are you here?"
Xiao Yu turned around when he heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he just glanced at her, and then lowered his head.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here for something and I want to ask you." Xiao Yu said, pointing to the car on the side, "Get in the car and say." β
Shen Mi, who wanted to invite him to sit down, had no choice but to get into the car in a fog.
"Whatever you want to ask, just ask." Seeing that his brows were tightly knit and he stopped talking several times, she couldn't help but take the lead in asking.
"Rumors from the outside world...... I don't know if my sister-in-law has paid attention? Xi Yu pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice.
Shen Mi was stunned when he heard this, "What rumors?" I never cared about these ......"
"It is rumored that you have a close relationship with Xiaoxing's own brother, and you still had that kind of relationship before......" Xi Yu sighed, his eyes full of questions.
Shen Mi wanted to laugh a little.
The last time she returned to Xi's house, Zhang's mother said this kind of rumor, at that time, she just thought that Liu Chenyi was too flamboyant and misunderstood, but now it seems that there is a trend of getting more and more intense.
"Little uncle, not to mention that I don't have an intimate relationship with Liu Chenyi, I am also your sister-in-law now, whether this kind of rumor has any basis and significance, I believe you will judge it yourself."
"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid you won't be able to convince the public if you say that......" Xi Yu shook his head, staring at her with a pair of clear eyes,
Shen Mi was stunned when he heard this, "What do you mean by this?" β
"The rumors have reached the ears of the elders, and I have heard ......"
"What did you hear?"
"The reason why Xiaoxing's brother doesn't agree with me and Xiaoxing is because of you!" Xi Yu said, his eyes were a little red, and that look made Shen Mi's back cold, and he couldn't speak.
"Who told you, yes...... Liu Chenxing? Shen Mi clenched his fists, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
Xi Yu's eyes moved, and his heart was obviously shaken, "Sister-in-law, you, have you acquiesced?" β
Shen Mi opened his mouth, almost unable to say a word of explanation, "Xiaoyu, I don't have any improper relationship with Xiaoxing's brother, neither before or after marriage." I can't say that you have nothing to do with Xiaoxing, but I can't control others! β
"Sister-in-law, this ...... This is really ......" Xi Yu blinked in disbelief, "Xiaoxing and I are still stupidly pinning our hopes on you...... I didn't expect you to be the culprit! β
"The culprit? Xiao Yu, it's not like this, Liu Chenyi was already ......" Shen Mi was a little overwhelmed by this big hat.
"Sister-in-law, me and Xiaoxing, it's probably impossible, right?" Xi Yu lowered his eyes, his eyes were gray, there was no hysteria, and the whole person seemed to be drained of his spirit.
"Uncle, I said, it's not what you think!"
"Sister-in-law, I still have to go to the company to deal with something, I have to go......"
was ordered to evict the passengers, Shen Mi sighed irritably, opened the door and got out of the car, Xi Yu kicked the accelerator, and the car roared away.
Leaving her alone, her heart turned upside down, and she wanted to go to Liu Chenyi to ask for clarification, but she knew that she would fulfill his heart by doing so, and she had nothing to do for a while, so she could only endure all this silently.
"Why do you look like this, what's wrong?" As soon as she got home, Song Shuwen greeted her and looked at her worriedly.
Shen Mi shook his head silently, feeling weak, ran to the room and lay down, and fell asleep groggyly.
She had a dream.
The fire was in the sky, her ears were full of mournful cries, she was barefoot, and under her feet was a barren ruin, and she was in the void, muttering Xi Lie's name.
However, no one answered her, and she tripped over something soft and rolled down a hillside strewn with corpses.
With a kick on her feet, she woke up in horror.
From yesterday to today, she didn't hear from Xi Lie, and somehow, she was very uneasy.
"Well, is there a way for you to contact Xi Lie?" Shen Mi ran barefoot to the living room and said to Song Shuwen, who was reading a book in the living room.
Song Shuwen glanced at her, and then smiled lightly, "Miss him?" β
"It's just uncomfortable." Shen Mi sighed and sat aside.
"During the mission, you can't contact him, and you don't have to think about it, he's a battle-hardened person." Song Shuwen comforted softly.
"Maybe I'll be back in two days, don't panic."
Such comfort was undoubtedly pale and feeble, and she stood up and walked to the entrance to change her shoes.
"I'll go back to the old house."
Song Shuwen was very discerning, and didn't ask her if she needed to accompany her, but just let her go.
Before the car drove into the gate of the old mansion, she was stopped by Xi Yingyue, who was about to leave.
"Niece and daughter-in-law, why are you back?" Xi Yingyue knocked on her car window and asked.
"Sister-in-law, I, I have something to do when I come back, are you leaving?"
Xi Yingyue hooked her lips and smiled, opened the door without saying a word and got into her car.
"No one is at home, what are you doing here? Let's go, go back to the city. β
Shen Mi wanted to speak and stopped, it wasn't that she didn't see several family cars parked neatly in the yard, but she didn't know what Xi Yingyue was going to do.
After thinking about it, she reversed the car and drove back into the city.
"The face is so bad, lovesickness?" Xi Yingyue glanced at her and asked casually.
Shen Mi sighed, "Sister-in-law, you also heard something before you came back, right?" Something about me. β
Yes, Xi Yu's words made her uneasy all the time, although she had a clear conscience, but Liu Chenyi did find her several times after she got married, if this matter was true, she should go and explain it to the elders.
"You? What's the matter with you? Xi Yingyue raised her eyebrows and asked suspiciously.
"It's something like my ambiguity with the son of the Liu family, which caused Xiaoyu's relationship to be obstructed." Shen Mi tugged at the corners of his mouth, feeling a little sour in his heart.
"Tsk, I thought something was wrong. Why are you so excited? Isn't it a weak heart? Xi Yingyue sneered disdainfully.
"I'm not weak-hearted, I didn't do anything to be sorry for the Xi family when I married into the Xi family." Shen Mi replied quickly.
"Isn't that it, just a few photos? Isn't it being caught raped in bed, what are you excited about? β
Shen Mi was completely blindsided when he heard this.
"Photos? What photos? β
Xi Yingyue tilted her head to look at her, "Oh, you still don't know?" It's just a few photos of you meeting the son of the Liu family, which are not very well taken and are not convincing. β
"Sister-in-law, when did this happen?" Shen Mi's heart sank, he didn't expect Liu Chenyi to be so boring, and he actually thought of using this clichΓ© method in TV series!
"It seems like this morning!"
This morning?
"But why, didn't anyone inform me to go back and explain?" Thinking of Xi Yu's words, her heart was very uncomfortable.
"Explain what, explain? Don't be a few of them in general knowledge, you are so idle, you want to ask people about the teacher with such a few photos, you, eat and drink and wait for Lie'er to come back! Xi Yingyue stammered impatiently, as if she didn't take this matter to heart at all.
"It's not good...... Shen Mi sighed worriedly, "Grandpa and grandma are old, so they can't be angry anymore!" β
"It's that old man who is the most idle, nosy when he was young, and still cares when he is old!" Xi Yingyue sneered and muttered.
"But......" She still wanted to argue, but was intercepted by Xi Yingyue.
"Then you say, you panic like this with such a few photos, what do you want to do with it? The old man doesn't know what to do, what should you do? Can you still get a divorce? β
"Life, live by yourself, how are you, Lie'er knows in his heart that everything is restrained by an elder of the next generation, and you will get yellow sooner or later!"
Xi Yingyue said, with some indignation and excitement in her tone.
It seemed to touch a sensitive nerve of hers, and she couldn't help but diss Xi Chongjin crazy for a while.
Shen Mi knew that Xi Chongjin did not agree to the marriage of his second uncle back then, so that he has borne a lot of bad infamy now, and Xi Yingyue is the most fierce one of them.
Speechless by Xi Yingyue's words, she was silent and concentrated on driving.
"By the way, I heard that you are back to work, should I invite you to drink and have fun?"
Thinking of Xi Lie's advice, Shen Mi shook his head silently.
"Wenwen is living with you?" Xi Yingyue asked again.
"Yes. Xi Lie called. Shen Mi didn't know how this infrequent sister-in-law knew everything, it was as magical as controlling her every move.
"I don't know if this girl is sober or not, Lie'er is very slow in this regard, nothing wrong, right?" Xi Yingyue muttered.
"It's good, she went on a blind date recently, although I don't know what the result is, but people seem to have asked her out several times."
"Well, how can it be so easy to ask her to come out for a drink at night?" Xi Yingyue raised her eyebrows.
Shen Mi was a little speechless when she heard this, this sister-in-law is also magical, no matter what serious things come to her mouth, they will eventually go around drinking.
"No, I still want to take care of something." Shen Mi shook his head and flatly refused.
"Let me guess, you're going to find out who sent this picture, right?"
Shen Mi's heart jumped, and she glanced at her in surprise, "Sister-in-law, you, can you read minds?" β
"Personally, I don't think there is a need to do these things, it's a waste of time, and it's in the hands of people, you, what should you do, after all, these routines are like children playing at home, there is no meaning at all, you are so anxious to find it, people still think you are easy to deal with." Xi Yingyue analyzed the head of the land, and this idea of playing cards out of common sense almost convinced Shen Mi, who was in turmoil at this moment.
"I'm afraid ......"
Shen Mi wanted to say more, but the phone suddenly rang, and when she saw it, it was Lin Chuan.
After a moment's hesitation, she answered the phone.
"Mr. Lin, I have already bought the handkerchief for you, how can I give it to you?"
Lin Chuan on the other side seemed to think about it for a long time before he remembered that there was such a thing, and suddenly sighed with realization.
"I didn't expect you to be so stubborn, I'll have a meeting later, I'll contact you later."
Lin Chuan said, politely said goodbye to her, and hung up the phone.
Xi Yingyue glanced at her, as if she didn't intend to ask who this person was.
"It's a kind man, last time I had a nosebleed, he lent me a handkerchief." Shen Mi explained to himself.
"Don't characterize others as good people at will, sister-in-law's experience." Xi Yingyue raised her eyebrows, "I'll get out of the car on the side of the road in front and find someone to drink." β
Lin Chuan didn't contact her until the evening, but fortunately, the location was not far from home, she went home to pick up her things, and went straight to the place he had agreed, downstairs in a five-star hotel.
From a distance, she saw Lin Chuan at the door, glancing at his watch from time to time.
She stopped the car on the side and trotted all the way to it with her things.
"Mr. Lin!" She stuffed the box to him, "Your one is a limited edition, and I can't buy it anymore, so I had to buy a new one to pay you for it, thank you for your help." β
Lin Chuan put away the box and smiled.
"You're too serious, because I still have an appointment here, I can't push it off, so it's hard for you to run."
He spoke with a sense of standard, and there was a polite distancing between the lines, as if it were a businessman's character.
"Yes, then, you go get busy! Excuse me! Shen Mi smiled, but saw that his eyes suddenly fell not far away, and his brows were tightly locked.
"Wait a minute." As he spoke, he stuffed the things in his hand into her, and then took a step, and suddenly ran up in great strides, Shen Mi looked at it for a long time, only to see a black shadow emerge from the green belt on the side, and Lin Chuan was chasing this black shadow!
For a moment, she was at the door for no apparent reason, watching them run away.
"Why are you here?"
When he was stunned, a female voice suddenly sounded behind him.
peace of mind says:
I had an English teacher who was sent to teach math, so I spent most of my time... Do the question......
I want to cry.
