Chapter 23: Threats

At the end of the song, the man never raised his eyes to look at her.

"Hit, excuse me!" Shen Mi froze in place, tugged at the corners of his mouth, and took a few steps back cowardly.

"Sit."

The other party raised his head, glanced at Shen Mi, who was about to slip away, raised his chin, and motioned for her to sit down.

Shen Mi paused, and then leaned over with a dry smile, "I lost the bet with my friends, and they called me to ask for your number, I'm sorry!" ”

The man pursed his lips, his face looked very white in the misty light, and he looked sven, but the look in his eyes made people feel a little weak.

Glancing at her, he slowly raised his hand.

His hands are slender and good-looking, and he is completely different from Xi Lie.

was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the other party had agreed!

She quickly took out her mobile phone and handed it to Lu Yue amid their teasing.

The man typed a line of numbers on her phone with a blank face, and then handed it to her slowly, no more.

Shen Mi took a look, and he also typed his name: Yanbei.

"Thank you! Excuse me! She laughed and thanked her, but the other party ignored her, just silently took a glass of wine, immersed herself in her own world, and once again ignored her gorgeously.

She returned to her seat with the soles of her feet in the wind, and received a burst of praise from Lu Yue and them.

"Quick, show me the numbers!" A group of single women surrounded them like hyenas, and even those who had boyfriends could not resist the temptation of this mysterious number, and excitedly saved the numbers.

"Yes, you're pretty good!" Lu Yue patted her on the shoulder, and the thief smiled.

"Why don't we gamble again, and whoever loses will ask him if he has a girlfriend, how about it?" Lu Yue said, coming to an interest, pulling her arm, as if she must be the one who lost.

"You play." Shen Mi rolled her eyes mercilessly, not bothering to say anything about her.

"What are you playing, everyone is leaving!" I don't know who shouted in frustration, she looked up, and he really stood up leisurely and disappeared around the corner in a big stride.

It seems that next time, if there is such a thing again, she should refuse as soon as possible.

Because they had to go to work the next day, they also restrained a lot, drank until ten o'clock, and then went back to their respective homes.

"Little Mimi, how are you doing? I heard the rat say, that man is amazing! Lu Yue climbed on her shoulder and sighed gossipingly.

"I'm sorry to ask." Shen Mi rolled her eyes, helped her who was walking crookedly, and once again began to lament the carelessness of making friends.

"Hah! Who would have thought that such a good thing would happen! Lu Yue joked in a straight way, "You have to thank me as a big matchmaker!" ”

"Let's delete contact information!" She sighed wordlessly.

Lu Yue was not happy now, "What's the matter, handsome, rich, and famous, I heard that my father has come to the door to propose marriage, what are you dissatisfied with, you say!" ”

Suddenly, she stood still, and a pair of big eyes looked at Shen Mi's body for a long time.

"You're not still thinking about that Josie, are you?! I heard from the rat that he came to your house last time! ”

Shen Mi was a little speechless.

Zhao Zihao, who turned his elbow outward, sent information to outsiders all day long.

"Nope." She shook her head, not wanting to continue the conversation.

"That's good, don't forget how badly he hurt you, and he still has the face to find you, this kind of person should be pressed to the ground and hammered!" Lu Yue said with dancing hands, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.

"Alright, let's go back quickly!" Shen Mi sighed irritably, stopped her for a taxi, and stuffed her into the car.

Although it was already past ten o'clock, the streets were still a lively scene, with young couples holding hands and pressing the road, middle-aged people walking their dogs, students who had just returned home from make-up classes with large school bags, and a group of young people who were lost in the charm of the dark night.

The weather was a little hot, and she was sweating constantly, strolling along the street, and after a while, a rapid clamming sound came from far and near, and the raindrops the size of beans fell and hit her.

She exclaimed in surprise and approached the nearest bus stop to escape the rain.

The pedestrians who were walking slowly just now were holding their heads and hurrying, and the rain was hitting the canopy, crackling and making a special sound.

The rain came so hard that her skirt was soaked with splashes.

It's still a little far from home, and it was about half an hour to walk back slowly, but now she can only sit here and wait for the rain to stop.

The people who were sheltering from the rain next to her were picked up one after another, leaving her pestle in place, and she didn't know who to call when she took out her mobile phone.

I thought it was just a torrential rain, but it didn't stop for half an hour.

But fortunately, she is used to it, and she doesn't bring an umbrella when she goes out, and no one pays attention to it.

Just when she was thinking about it, a black business car slowly pulled up in front of her with a right turn, the window rolled down, and a small face slowly appeared.

"Sister! Get in the car! ”

The crisp voice was almost drowned out by the sound of the rain, and Shen Mi was stunned, it was actually Luo Wan'er who he had seen in the morning!

Since she had no friendship with her, she shook her head and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Who knew that Luo Wan'er actually got out of the car with a big black umbrella more seriously, she had to listen to her words, stepped into the rain and got wet into the back seat of the car.

Luo Wan'er's eyes were shining, and she took out a brand new towel out of nowhere and handed it to her.

"Sister, your hair is wet."

Shen Mi didn't know why this child was so approachable, but he still thanked him politely, and then wiped his hair and arms that were wet in a few seconds.

"Sister, where is your home, we'll send you over!"

Now that they were all in the car, she was no longer hypocritical, and reported her address, so she didn't have to speak.

"Brother, did you hear me, let's send my sister home first!" Luo Wan'er said, stretching out her thin arm and patting the man in the driver's seat.

The man did not answer and drove intently.

"Brother, I still want to come out to play tomorrow, you can accompany me!"

Still no one answered.

Shen Mi was a little confused, this little girl was not deeply involved in the world at first glance, so well-behaved, she must have been arranged by the family to go on a blind date this morning, but looking at her appearance, it was not the time to go on a blind date.

It's still an innocent little princess.

It's cheaper, Liu Chenyi's harmful spirit.

"If you don't take me there, I'll call that man to accompany me today!" Luo Wan'er flattened her mouth, as if she was a little unhappy, and her tone was a little coquettish.

Today's man is not ...... Liu Chenyi!

"By the way, sister, aren't you really Mr. Liu's girlfriend?" Seeing that her brother ignored herself, Luo Wan'er turned her head to Shen Mi, who was watching the play quietly on the side.

"Not really."

"Oh, he's so pitiful, he only marries you when he says he wants to get married, it seems that you don't like him at all!" Luo Wan'er didn't know whether she was naΓ―ve or upright, and her words almost made Shen Mi choke on saliva.

"Wan'er."

The man in the front seat finally couldn't listen anymore, and there was some displeasure in his tone.

Luo Wan'er obediently shut up, cried at Shen Mi, and then came to her, mysteriously.

"My brother is a murderer!" She covered her mouth and muttered.

Shen Mi blinked, not knowing how to answer.

For today's children, she can't keep up with their rhythm, as if she is separated by so many years, like a mountain, and the generation gap is too big.

In Wan'er's commotion, she had already seen the familiar courtyard door.

"Just stop by the side, thank you!" Shen Mi spoke in time, the car stopped smoothly, and Luo Wan'er handed her the umbrella.

"Sister, goodbye!"

Shen Mi smiled, and as soon as she opened the car door, her eyes inadvertently glanced at the pair of thin white hands on the steering wheel, and the familiar bracelet made her stunned.

This,Isn't this the Hikokita I just met at the bar?!

The rain hit her arm through the crack in the door, she came back to her senses, thanked the two of them, and quickly got out of the car, looking at the slowly leaving car in a daze.

These people are really unbelievably coincidental and creepy.

Yanbei is Luo Wan'er's brother, in just one day, she met a pair of brothers and sisters by chance?

As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw Zhao Zihao holding a familiar rainbow umbrella looking at the door, and when I saw her coming back, I quickly greeted her.

"Why don't you answer the phone, it's raining so hard and flooding in several places, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back!"

Shen Mi's heart warmed, and he smiled, "Maybe the rain is too loud and I didn't hear it, let's go!" ”

The rat who fought with her every day when she was a child seemed to have suddenly grown up, which made her feel particularly gratified.

When she got home, she took a shower, changed into dry clothes, and snuggled up to the computer.

After being busy for a while, the phone vibrated a little, and she opened it to see that it was an email.

A small video, plus a sentence.

- I'm going to post this online, what do you think?

Shen Mi thought it was someone's prank, and was about to turn it off, but found that the scene on the video cover was very familiar, as if it was downstairs in his own house!!

Thinking that she quickly clicked away, it was the video of Zhao Zihao beating Qiao Xizhe that day, which seemed to be captured by the surveillance, clearly revealing Zhao Zihao's face, and even the scene of his own fight.

As soon as she finished reading, an unfamiliar number called, and as soon as she connected, Josie's laughter rang out over there.

"You and I love each other, I don't want to make it so ugly, tomorrow at noon, I want to see you."

"Tsk, Josiezhe, I have been studying abroad well in the past few years." Shen Mi laughed angrily and sarcastically said mercilessly.

"Public officials beat people indiscriminately, and I also want to see how Zhao Zihao should go in the future!" Josie Zhe was not annoyed, and his tone was a little more leisurely.

"You're disgusting." Shen Mi was angry, and he couldn't wait to go up and beat him up again to vent his anger.

"I'll wait for you tomorrow, see you or leave."

Qiao Xizhe smiled heartily after speaking, and then hung up the phone without saying a word.

Leaving Shen Mi alone, he was indignant.

Zhao Zihao has just graduated from the police academy, if he is really made a big fuss by Qiao Xizhe, where will there be any units willing to accept him in the future? These stains may remain on him for a lifetime!

You can't delay his whole life because of his own business, right??

Xi Yingyue said that she would help, but there has been no movement so far, and she has no contact information......

For a while, Shen Mi actually felt upset, and there was no way to deal with it, so he could only go to meet him tomorrow.

The next day, Zhao Zihao went out early in the morning, and near noon, she received a text message from Qiao Xizhe, asking her to meet at a Chinese restaurant.

By the time he arrived, Josie was already sitting there reading the menu.

"Here, sit down!" Josie nodded at her and motioned for her to sit down.

"If you have something to say, I'm afraid I'll throw up if I sit with you." Shen Mi stepped aside with a cold face and calmed down the waiters who were placing orders.

Josie Zhe tugged at the corners of his mouth and motioned for the waiter to go down first, and then his eyes turned and fell on her without saying a word.

"I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry for me to be exposed."

Shen Mi glared at him coldly, "I didn't expect you to become so disgusting." ”

"If you can cooperate well, we can say anything." Josie Zhe didn't seem to care about her words, called the waiter again, and slowly began to order.

Although Shen Mi was unhappy in his heart, he had nothing to do with him.

No matter how willful she is, she doesn't dare to joke about the life of a mouse.

I only heard that Josie Zhe nostalgically ordered a lot of dishes that she used to love, and all the meat and vegetarian dishes were gathered.

"I told you last time, my master is going back to China, and I want to introduce you to her." As soon as the waiter left, Qiao Xizhe slowly poured her a cup of hot tea and said with a serious face.

"I told you last time, no." Shen Mi had a cold face and simply refused.

"Our company is preparing to open a personal popularity column recently, if you are willing to come, vigorously promote you." Josie said graciously, a pair of eyes wandering over her, as if to watch her reaction quietly.

"I'm sorry, I don't draw anymore." Shen Mi sneered in his heart, sure enough, after so many years, he still hasn't changed at all in this regard!

"Then go back and paint."

Qiao Xizhe said with a smile, the words in his eyes were full of gorgeous threats, and Shen Mi was angry and annoyed to see him, but there was nothing he could do.

"Anything else? Say goodbye without me! As she spoke, a pair of eyes glared at him indifferently, eager to gouge out a hole in his villainous face.

"You take a step out of here, and I'll send the video out."

After finishing speaking, the dishes came up one after another, and Josie Zhe poured her a glass of wine and waited for her unhurriedly, as if she was pinching a little chick.

"Yo, niece and daughter-in-law, is it really you?"

Xi Yingyue's voice sounded behind her, Shen Mi was stunned for a moment, feeling that she was like an angel descending to earth at this moment, saving her from fire and water!

"Sister-in-law!" She stood up obediently and called out to her.

Xi Yingyue was alone, with a smile on her face, glanced at Qiao Xizhe, and walked slowly to their table.

"Niece and daughter-in-law, I was about to call you to dinner!" Xi Yingyue said with a smile, but the smile was not in her eyes.

Qiao Xizhe didn't speak, and looked at Xi Yingyue with his eyes, as if he was savoring the meaning of her words.

"Auntie, I'll accompany you right away after I'm done talking." Shen Mi said, his displeasure written on his face.

"As soon as Lie'er left, you met with other men, it's not appropriate." Xi Yingyue said, smiling and sitting down beside Shen Mi, "If he gets angry, I can't stop him, if he accidentally hurts your friend, it's not good." ”

Every word was said to Qiao Xizhe, Shen Mi glanced at her gratefully, and felt a little confident in his heart, so he stood up and raised his chin at Qiao Xizhe.

"What's the matter, let's talk about it next time!"

"I'm sorry sir, I'm also thinking about you, after all, people are terrible!" Xi Yingyue smiled quite socially, and then grabbed Shen Mi's arm and dragged her aside.

"Ex-boyfriend?" Although she seemed to be asking, the end of the sentence was an affirmative sentence.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ He said I wouldn't come, so he posted the video of my brother beating people on the Internet. Shen Mi sighed and said truthfully.

"I've figured out a way, will you listen?" Xi Yingyue tugged at the corners of her mouth and looked at her with a smile.

Shen Mi's heart moved, and he glanced at her curiously, "What way?" ”

"Well, you go with Lie'er to get the certificate."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Shen Mi was a little confused, why did everything go by the only way to marry Xi Lie?

"He just wants me to draw for him, and I'll just do it......" she sighed and snorted.

"If you think this will solve the problem, I really can't say anything nice except to praise you for your innocence and cuteness." Xi Yingyue sighed and glanced at her disdainfully.

"Silly, huh." Xi Yingyue didn't seem to want to bother with her anymore, so she ended the topic directly.

"Come back with me at noon, my mother, that is, your grandmother, is not in good condition. Lie'er is on a mission, and he can't come back for a while, so if he performs well, when the matter is revealed, he can still save his life. Xi Yingyue said, glanced at her stomach, then grabbed her, and dragged her to the car without saying a word.

Xi Lie had already said that he would solve this matter by himself, and the words came to her mouth and were swallowed by her again.

This sister-in-law, she can't afford to mess with.

The car stopped at the gate of her yard, and Xi Yingyue ordered her to go back and come back again after the disguise was done, so she had to run home, put on the pillow, and ran back panting.

"When you go back in a while, you will treat yourself as the daughter-in-law of the Xi family, don't be afraid of it."

On the way, Xi Yingyue came out with such a sentence out of nowhere, and there was no follow-up.

Back to the old house, a few cars were parked in the yard, and it seemed that there were guests at home.

Shen Mi followed Xi Yingyue in and found that the guest was none other than Song Shuwen's family. Mrs. Song was a little sad between her eyebrows, and she was clubbing next to Song Jingxuan without saying a word.

"The daughter-in-law is here!" Xi Yingjie saw Shen Mi and greeted him happily.

"I'll take her up to my mom."

Before Shen Mi could answer, Xi Yingyue pulled her upstairs, and didn't even give her a chance to greet the Song family.

When she came to the door of Lin Meijuan's room, as soon as she looked out, she saw a familiar figure sitting at the head of the bed, looking at Lin Meijuan in a daze worriedly.

I heard that Song Shuwen was a non-commissioned officer under Xi Lie, but for some reason he didn't follow Xi Lie back to the military region.

"Get in." Xi Yingyue patted her on the shoulder, and with a hard effort, she pushed her in.

Lin Meijuan was sleeping in a daze, Song Shuwen heard the sound, raised her eyes and glanced at her, but there was no reaction.

Shen Mi froze in place in embarrassment, and when she turned around, Xi Yingyue was waving at her outside the door, signaling her to come over.

She suddenly understood now what she meant by her brainless words in the car.

I saw Song Shuwen's worried and crying appearance, just like a standard daughter-in-law of the Xi family, unlike her, who didn't know anything, and only came over at this time.

However, she was originally an impostor, so she didn't feel uncomfortable at this time, but she just wondered why Xi Lie would let such a perfect woman go, and she had to waste her efforts on her.

"Daughter-in-law, why are you here?"

Chen Man's soft voice sounded behind him, and Shen Mi came back to his senses and smiled at her.

"My aunt said that grandma is not in good health, I can't rest assured, come and see ......"

Chen Man frowned when he heard this, "Don't tell you when I say it, I'm afraid you're worried, Yingyue is really ...... Sit down, don't get tired! ”

Chen Man said, carefully helped her to the side of the bed, and sat down opposite Song Shuwen.

"Wenwen, do you want to rest for a while, I heard that you just arrived in the army last night, and you rushed back early in the morning, ...... tired" Chen Man patted Song Shuwen's shoulder and said softly.

"Auntie, Ah Lie went on a mission last night, and I was very worried about my grandmother's poor health, so I came back to take care of him, and he was so relieved that he wasn't tired." Song Shuwen smiled, her tone was gentle, she was really a lady, and she spoke very comfortably.

"Thanks to you being by Lie'er's side over the years, this big and small thing has troubled you many times." Chen Man was a little upset by what she said, and the smile on his face softened a little.

This back and forth, Shen Mi was even more confused.

In terms of family background, appearance, and friendship, this Song Shuwen is the best candidate for the Xi family's daughter-in-law, anyway, there is no emotional basis for calling her here, what did this Xi Lie think about having to live up to such a beauty and pull her into the fire pit?

And listening to Song Shuwen's meaning, the two have been sharing weal and woe in the army for many years, and they are like a family with the Xi family, where is it not possible for a man to be unmarried and a woman to be unmarried?

She couldn't figure out these questions for a while, but she unconsciously stared at Song Shuwen for a long time.

Song Shuwen raised her head, looked at her lightly, and then pulled a smile, making her feel uncomfortable.

"It's hard to have such a big belly, isn't it?" Song Shuwen blinked and asked with concern.

When it came to his stomach, Shen Mi was nervous for no reason.

"It's fine." She smiled and replied briefly.

"I heard that pregnancy is very hard, and there are a lot of things that need attention, if Ah Lie knew that you were running around like this, he would definitely blame everyone worriedly." Song Shuwen shook her head as she spoke, as if she was chatting casually, but there was always something different in Shen Mi's words.

Co-author: Shouldn't she be here?

Or shouldn't you run around with a big belly?

Or is it something deeper?

Shen Mi had a headache and felt that chatting with these thoughtful people was a bit tiring and irritating, so he had to try to keep smiling.

"Grandma is not in a good condition, no matter how tired and hard I am, I have to accompany her, Xi Lie will definitely not be angry because of this kind of thing."

Since I don't know what she means, I can only use her words to go back one by one? What else can I do?

Thinking about it, Shen Mi felt that it was still beneficial for him to fight wits and gag with those few bad friends for so many years.

Song Shuwen smiled, "That's what you said, after all, you are the daughter-in-law of the Xi family that they identified." ”

Tired! Don't want to talk to her!

Thinking about it, she got up and wanted to leave.

"Oh yes, I went to see a friend yesterday, and I saw someone who looks like you, do you have twin sisters or something?"

Song Shuwen asked suspiciously, causing Shen Mi to stiffen, and a layer of goosebumps appeared in an instant!

peace of mind says:

Existence is reasonable, and listen to me slowly!

Friends, there are still red envelopes today, come on!

Thank you for your tickets and flowers, very impressed, mua!
