As soon as the words fell, Ye Shen strode in and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I accidentally heard the two of you discussing lifelong matters." Miss Shang really deserves to be a new-style woman who stays abroad, and has the courage to pursue her own happiness. Compared with those ladies with empty faces and empty minds, they are really much outstanding. Jing Cheng is really a good eye. ”

When Ye Shen heard Shang Yucheng's words asking for an engagement, Lu Jingcheng was a little embarrassed, but Ye Shen's praise for Shang Yucheng made him quite proud, so he continued, "Speaking of which, Brother Ye will probably lose a share of money again." ”

After saying that, both of them laughed. Shang Yucheng lowered his head slightly, and also smiled reservedly.

After chatting a few more words, Lu Jingcheng stood up and said to Shang Yucheng, "Then let's discuss it in detail when we go home tonight." He picked up his coat, "I'm going back to the office too." ”

Shang Yucheng nodded, "I'll send you out." ”

The two said hello to Ye Shen, turned around and walked out.

Waiting for Shang Yucheng to send Lu Jingcheng back to the office, he saw Ye Shen holding a bottle of red wine and pouring it into the wine glass. Hearing the footsteps, Ye Shen turned around, "Miss Shang—"

He put down the wine bottle and handed over a wine glass with a smile, "Congratulations to Miss Shang for getting her wish." ”

Shang Yucheng looked at Ye Shen's expression, and always felt a little ironic. She silently took the wine glass and took a sip, "Thank you, Mr. Ye." ”

Ye Shen also took a sip, looked at Shang Yucheng and said indifferently, "Miss Shang thinks-is it worth it?" ”

Shang Yucheng's heart tightened, and he looked up at Ye Shen. She didn't know why Ye Shen said such a sentence, was it because he knew something, or it was another hateful temptation?

"What does Mr. Ye mean by this?" Shang Yucheng simply asked.

Ye Shen looked at her straightly, "The drunkard's intention is not to drink, and Miss Shang's intention is not to marry Lu Jingcheng." ”

Shang Yucheng's face changed slightly, and he looked at Ye Shen fixedly, "I don't understand what you're talking about." ”

Ye Shen showed a knowing smile, "Of course you know what I'm talking about-" He paused, "It doesn't matter if you can marry Lu Jingcheng or not, it's important to be the young grandmother of the Lu family." Is there still anyone who can't see this thought? He lowered his glass, "Only that fool Jing Cheng would believe that you mean for him." ”

Shang Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a slight smile, "Jing Cheng believes me, isn't this enough?" ”

Ye Shen looked at her, shook his head and smiled, "If you want to succeed in hiding from the world, you must learn to be patient." Miss Shang is more than smart, but unfortunately she is not patient, so it is easy to be recognized. ”

Shang Yucheng didn't want to continue such a topic with Ye Shen, so he drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, put down the wine glass and said, "Does Mr. Ye have any suggestions?" ”

Ye Shen raised his eyebrows, "I have a good proposal, but I'm afraid that Miss Shang won't be able to see the benefits clearly." ”

Shang Yucheng smiled faintly, "Mr. Ye, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Ye Shen looked at her and smiled, "What do you think of marrying me?" ”

Shang Yucheng didn't expect Ye Shen to be so speechless and endless, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"No matter how rich the Lu family is, it can't be the same as my Ye family-not to mention that I'm a person who is much more interesting than Lu Jingcheng." Ye Shen looked at Shang Yucheng with a smile, "Miss Shang doesn't have to bother to pretend to be gentle and petty to wronged herself. And-"

Before Ye Shen could finish speaking, Shang Yucheng blushed and said, "Mr. Ye is talking nonsense like this, aren't you afraid that I will tell Jing Cheng?" ”

Ye Shen shrugged, "Could it be that Miss Shang really dares to tell him the content of our conversation?" ”

Looking at Ye Shen's expression of control, Shang Yucheng was angry, but also a little jealous, she took the handbag on the side, turned her head angrily and walked away.

Ye Shen looked at the back of Shang Yucheng rushing out of the door, and the teasing expression on his face slowly disappeared.

According to Shu Qiang's letter to Shang Yucheng and her many actions, he had already guessed her purpose, and even he knew the reason why Shang Yucheng chose Shu Qiang. All possibilities point to that Christmas night five years ago.

Ye Shen poured a glass of wine and fell into deep thought.

Five years ago, he was on his first joint mission, and he was hiding in an alley not far from Leng's house. He passed by Su Jingyao, who was only eighteen years old at the time, and Su Jingyao, who was hurrying home, didn't notice him, and he didn't pay attention to this young girl.

When Lu Jingpeng and Zhao Wenxuan walked into the alley, in order to prevent their identities from being exposed, Ye Shen hurriedly left the hiding place, and he did not appear until he saw the appearance of the connector to complete the task.

It wasn't until the next day that he learned that the night was a disguise for both justice and sin. But he was "not in Shanghai" that night, and he couldn't help Su Jingyao anything.

And everything was completely out of control from the day Su Jingyao identified Lu Jingpeng as the murderer, Su Jingyao was slandered as a girl who "lost her virginity", "debauchery" and "wanted money", and the rumors even affected Su Jingyao's widowed mother. It wasn't until Su Jingyao and her mother left Shanghai that the rumors gradually subsided.

Shang Yucheng came for the events of that year, and she even chose Shu Qiang, who lost her job because of this, as her helper. And her identity-

Ye Shen frowned, although he had never seen Su Jingyao, but in those days when Su Jingyao's reputation was discredited, her photos were all over various newspapers, large and small, and Ye Shen had also noticed that it was not what Shang Yucheng was like now. Of course, if it were, the Lu family would have found out early in the morning, how could they have become Lu Jingcheng's fiancée today?

Could it be that she is just a person who has a close relationship with Su Jingyao?

Ye Shenzai carefully thought about the appearance every time she saw Shang Yucheng, the occasional sad and blank expression, if she wasn't Su Jingyao, then what had she experienced?

Ye Shen felt that he might have missed something, but he didn't know what it was. His faint pity for Shang Yucheng is not known because of Su Jingyao or Shang Yucheng himself.

After a long time, Ye Shen took a sip of the wine in the glass, put down the wine glass and walked out.

Shang Yucheng walked out of Ye's family, hurriedly stopped a rickshaw and went home, until he sat in the house and was still angry.

Xianglin heard the voice come out, and saw Shang Yucheng say strangely, "Didn't Miss say that she was busy these days and came back late?" Why is it so early today? ”

As she spoke, she brought tea for Shang Yucheng.

Shang Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xianglin speak, "I didn't sleep well last night, and I came back with some headaches." ”

When Xianglin heard this, he said with concern, "Miss feels a headache?" Can I see a doctor? ”

Shang Yucheng shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, just rest for a while." ”

Xianglin nodded, "Miss must be too tired to be so busy recently." You go in and sleep, I'll go out to buy groceries, cook chicken soup tonight and drink it, and make up for my body. ”

Shang Yucheng wanted to say no, but when he saw that Xianglin had already packed up and was about to leave, he went with her.

Ye Shen's words made her very angry at the time, but when she sat down and slowly recalled the scene, she faintly felt that something was not right. If Ye Shen is joking, it is not in line with his usual joking style, but it is naturally impossible to say that he is serious, Ye Shen has always been quite wary of himself, and he will never think about anything.

So what did he say that for?

Shang Yucheng frowned and thought, although Ye Shen didn't know what it was for, but he had long suspected that his target was Lu Jingpeng - why did he say today that his purpose was to marry into the Lu family as a young grandmother?

Could it be that he really found something to say just that he didn't want to let himself know that he already knew the truth? But he just sent someone to follow him, what could he find?

Shang Yucheng thought about it for a long time and didn't come to a conclusion, but the doubts in her heart became deeper and deeper, making her sit still. She got up and made a cup of coffee and sat down again, thinking carefully about the bits and pieces of her acquaintance with Ye Shen, and suddenly a question flashed in her mind: Ye Shen and the Lu family are not close, and if he says a word, he doesn't care about the rise and fall of the Lu family or the life or death of anyone in the Lu family. Even if she accidentally discovered that she had a plan, why bothered to do so, and even sent someone to follow her to investigate herself?

This thought made Shang Yucheng a little confused and a little excited, could it be that Ye Shen also had some ulterior secrets? Thinking about it this way, Shang Yucheng immediately thought of Ye Shen's injury last time, why was it so coincidental - the Japanese soldier was injured when he died?

Maybe Ye Shen is not as simple as she sees, thinking of Ye Shen's mysterious government background mentioned by the Lu brothers, Shang Yucheng made a bold guess, could it be that Ye Shen is a secret agent in the government? But why should the people in the government care about themselves who are far away from politics?

Unless, is it for the Lu family? Shang Yucheng struggled to recall all the businesses she knew about the Lu family, would there be anything that the government would be interested in?

At this time, Shang Yucheng really regretted ignoring the complaints about Lu Jingcheng's work on weekdays, if she was willing to listen with interest as she seemed, maybe there would be an answer at this time.

Xianglin soon came back from the vegetable market, took a lively old hen, and entered the kitchen with his hands and feet. Shang Yucheng also put away the thoughts in his head for the time being, followed Xianglin into the kitchen, and watched with admiration as Xianglin's hand rose and fell, and the old hen immediately lowered her head and turned into ingredients to be cooked.

"Miss, go to your room and sleep for a while, and I'll call you when dinner is ready." Xianglin said with a smile.

Shang Yucheng nodded and turned to go back to his room.

"By the way, Miss—" Xianglin called Shang Yucheng. "A Miss Gao came to your house this afternoon." She said while busy with the work in her hand, "Seeing that you are not here, wait for a while and leave." ”

"Miss Gao?" Shang Yucheng frowned, "Which Miss Gao?" ”

Xianglin was a little nervous when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Shang Yucheng, "What, you don't know?" Could it be a liar? She also said that what manuscript of hers had been taken by the young lady - what was it? Xianglin struggled to recall.

"It's Miss Takakura, right?" Shang Yu Cheng Road.

"Miss Takakura?" Xianglin reacted and nodded violently, "Yes, yes!" This surname is really strange. ”

Shang Yucheng explained with a smile, "This is a Japanese surname. ”

"Japanese?" Xianglin asked in surprise, his voice revealing displeasure.

Shang Yucheng didn't say anything more, Takakura didn't have any friendship with her, and she didn't need to tell Xianglin about her life experience, so she only asked, "What did she say?" ”

Probably thinking that today's guest was Japanese, Xianglin immediately became more alert, and while tilting his head to think seriously, he said, "She first asked Miss if she was there—and then said that she was a friend of Miss and would come in and wait for Miss for a while." She also said that she gave the manuscript to the young lady, and I don't know if the young lady can read it. I made tea for her, and she said that Miss's tea was so delicious, and that Miss was a tasteful person—"

Hearing this, Shang Yucheng couldn't help but smile, "Is this Miss Takakura's words or your words?" ”

Xianglin said seriously, "It was Miss Takakura who said it. I came out with tea, and Miss Takakura was standing at the door of Miss's room, saying that the painting in Miss's room was painted by a great artist, and praised Miss a few times——"

"Standing at the door of my room?" Hearing this, Shang Yucheng interrupted Xianglin's words a little nervously.

"Hmm." Xianglin nodded vigorously, "It turns out that she is Japanese, why does she speak Chinese so well?" She muttered to herself, and immediately added, "Miss hurry up to the room and take a look, the Japanese are the worst, maybe they are here to steal!" ”

Without Xianglin's reminder, Shang Yucheng immediately turned around and went back to the room. As soon as she entered, she closed the door, hastily pulled out the dresser under the dresser, removed the top, and removed the wax pills from the legs.

Seeing that the wax pill was still safe and sound here, Shang Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put it back away.

The door slammed, Shang Yucheng turned his head suddenly, and Xianglin's voice came from outside the door, "Miss, you didn't lose anything, did you?" ”

Shang Yucheng let go of the heart that he had just raised suddenly, and couldn't help but secretly laugh at his own soldiers, "It's nothing, don't worry." ”

"That's good." Xianglin's voice also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Then I'll go cook, miss." ”

"Okay." Shang Yucheng answered, and when he heard Xianglin walk away, he reinstalled the dresser and stuffed it under the dresser.

Although the wax pill was not lost, Shang Yucheng had doubts about Takakura Yue, and secretly decided in his heart to complete the proofreading of the manuscript earlier, lest Takakura Yue take such an opportunity to enter and leave here and cause any trouble. There are already too many people to watch out for, and she really doesn't need another high position month.
