Chapter 10: The Son of Jing Yao

It was nearly nine o'clock after dinner, Lu Jingcheng drank a lot of wine, and he was slightly drunk, Lu Jingpeng and Ye Shen drank better, and they didn't see anything abnormal. Shang Yucheng and the Lu brothers lived next to each other, so they happened to be sent home by the driver, and Ye Shen offered to give Jia Wenxin a ride with a gentlemanly demeanor, and the two said goodbye and left together.

When he got home, Shang Yucheng changed his clothes, quietly came out of the back door, called a rickshaw and rushed to the teahouse that he had made an appointment with Shu Qiang.

As soon as she entered the box, Shu Qiang, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up, waited for Shang Yucheng to sit down, and poured tea for her with her own hands before sitting down and said, "Miss Shang is in such a hurry to find me, but what did you find?" ”

Shang Yucheng nodded slightly, and said, "I saw a person in the Lu family today, who was the manager of the business house where Zhao Yilin, the grandmother of the Lu family, married, and I heard him mention Lu Jingpeng and Wu Hong. Shang Yucheng took a sip of tea and continued, "I think he should be the one who followed Lu Jingpeng." ”

"Oh?" Shu Qiang was a little surprised, "The person sent by the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Lu family? ”

Shang Yucheng nodded.

"Presumably, it was this young grandmother who became suspicious of her husband, so she asked someone to follow quietly." Shu Qiang thought for a moment, "Miss Shang means to ask me to think of mentioning this person, so that I can completely poke out this Wu Hong?" ”

Shang Yucheng nodded slightly, "According to time calculation, this Wu Hong has been with Lu Jingpeng for five years, so will she know something about the events of that year?" And she is ostensibly the key person who caused Lu Jingpeng and Ye Shen to fall out, could this be just a cover - and the real contradiction between the two of them began with Su Jingyao's incident at that time, and even, Ye Shen was the other perpetrator? ”

Shu Qiang nodded as he listened, "I think the same as Miss Shang, no matter what, I have to open a gap in Wu Hong's body." Since Wu Hong and Lu Jingpeng have been together for five years and have nothing to do with each other, it is likely that they have a solid relationship of interests between them, and if they want to break this relationship, they can only rely on that young grandmother. ”

"yes, that's what I thought." Shang Yucheng said briefly.

"I see." Shu Qiang said, "Miss Shang, don't worry, I know what to do." ”

Shang Yucheng smiled faintly with satisfaction, paused and said, "How's the investigation about the child?" ”

"There are some clues, but I can't determine the whereabouts of the child yet." Shu Qiang carefully took out an old yellowed photo from his pocket, "Miss Su's wet nurse Zhao has a widowed sister whose husband's surname is Chen, and according to the clues I investigated, this old lady Chen adopted a baby boy five years ago. ”

Shu Qiang handed the photo to Shang Yucheng, "This baby boy is likely to be Miss Su's biological son." ”

Shang Yucheng paused, and then slowly took the photo from Shu Qiang's hand.

The photo shows a kind old lady holding a chubby and round child about two or three years old in her arms, and the child does not know why, frowning slightly, revealing the unhappy look of a little adult.

Shang Yucheng looked at the photo, stared quietly for a long time, and reached out to silently caress the child's small face.

These familiar eyebrows and eyes seem to have been seen somewhere. Shang Yucheng looked at the photo carefully, his eyes were confused, and he thought suspiciously.

"Not long after Miss Su and Mrs. Su left Shanghai, the wet nurse passed away due to illness. Mrs. Chen was also gone two years ago, and according to Mrs. Chen's neighbors, she entrusted her family house and this child to a distant cousin before she died. After she died, the man sold the house and left Jiaxing with the child, as for where he went, he has not yet been inquired. ”

Shu Qiang patiently explained in detail, but Shang Yucheng didn't seem to hear it, and looked at the little person in the photo blankly.

Shu Qiang hesitated for a moment, and then said in a comforting tone, "Although there is no news for the time being, according to Mrs. Chen's neighbors, Mrs. Chen's distant cousin has an obvious northern Jiangsu accent. ”

Shang Yucheng nodded, "Mr. Shu has bothered a lot. ”

When he got home, the tired Shang Yucheng took a shower and went to bed early, but he couldn't fall asleep when he lay on the bed. She had to get up and go to the kitchen to warm up a glass of milk and bring it to the bed to drink some.

Shang Yucheng casually put the cup on the bedside table, and the half-empty cup knocked over the picture frame on the bedside table.

Shang Yucheng raised his hand to pick up the photo frame, looked at himself on the photo, couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke his face, revealing a wry smile.

However, the past two or three years seem to have been as long as since birth, as if he had always looked like this, and gradually he couldn't remember what Su Jingyao looked like back then.

On today's photo of Mrs. Chen, the child's immature appearance was so familiar, and it was only at this time that Shang Yucheng finally thought that it was Su Jingyao's eyebrows and eyes, which was his own appearance that he had gradually forgotten.

Shang Yucheng closed his eyes gently, tears shining in the corners of his eyes.

Tears slowly flowed out of Shang Yucheng's eyes, and a barely visible scar at the end of his eye gradually became apparent.

This is the mark left by a car accident, she lost her mother, and all she left behind is the few words about her child in the last moments of her life. And it was those few words that gave her courage, even if she became another person's other appearance, she finally had the courage to return here, looking for the last relatives in this world, and the only remaining justice.

The clear moonlight entered the room, and at some point, she finally fell asleep.

The relationship between Lu Jingcheng and Ye Shen became inexplicably close, and they often went out to drink and talk together, and Shang Yucheng had a lot more opportunities to meet Ye Shen. Probably for the sake of balance, Jia Wenxin will also be there when Shang Yucheng is present, and after coming and going, Shang Yucheng can see Jia Wenxin's affection for Ye Shen, but Ye Shen does not put his mind on Jia Wenxin's heart, no matter where he appears, there is always a confidante around him. Shang Yucheng felt unbearable after watching it a few times, but he couldn't persuade him, and his impression of Ye Shen in his heart was even worse.

The furniture store opened smoothly, and I heard that it was the industry of the little master of Huijin Group, and the Shanghai business community sent the second ancestor and the small party to support the scene, which can be regarded as a good start. Lu Jingcheng is much more confident, and he is more enthusiastic about business, so he has much less time to date Shang Yucheng.

Although there is a lot more free time, Shang Yucheng's plan to expose Wu Hong has been sluggish, no wonder Shu Qiang, Lu Jingpeng is indeed a cautious person, he will not be in and out of Wu Hong's residence for too long, and he will never take Wu Hong to any public place, it is difficult to find evidence of their close relationship.

"It's not a way to drag it out like this, since I can't find evidence, I have to make some evidence." Shang Yucheng raised his wine glass and took a sip.

Shu Qiang, who was next to him, asked the waiter to add a glass of wine, and when he walked away, he asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?" ”

"I remember that Mrs. Lu once said that Zhao Yilin is a virtuous daughter-in-law, and she takes care of her husband's inner and outer clothes." Shang Yucheng turned his head to look at Shu Qiang, "Since Zhao Yilin already has some doubts, let's add another fire and give it a try." I think no matter how virtuous Zhao Yilin is, he will not tolerate his husband carrying other women's fat powder. You find a reliable woman and take the opportunity to leave a fat pink mark or lipstick mark on Lu Jingpeng's shirt to provoke Zhao Yilin. ”

Shu Qiang nodded, "I understand." ”

Shang Yucheng smiled, "Ye Shen caught up with the Americans, and Lu Jingpeng guided Lu Jingcheng to approach Ye Shen, wanting to take advantage of Ye's shipping company." If Ye Shen wants to come, he will come. You get ready, see you tomorrow night, at Avery Restaurant. ”

Shu Qiang responded, raised the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, put the wine money on the table, turned around and left neatly.

Shang Yucheng sat quietly for a while, and then paid the bill and left.

Early the next morning, Shang Yucheng dressed up and went out to Huijin Department Store.

Although Shang Yucheng is a low-key young grandmother in the future, because of Lu Jingcheng's gesture of holding hands in public last time, the employees of the department store still remembered this face. Shang Yucheng walked around for a while, and Lu Jingcheng had already heard the news.

"Yucheng!" Lu Jingcheng smiled and walked towards Shang Yucheng, "Why are you here?" ”

Shang Yucheng smiled slightly and said softly, "What, you're not welcome?" ”

Lu Jingcheng grabbed her hand, "Of course not, it's a surprise." Aren't you busy preparing for school these days and don't have time to spend with me? ”

Shang Yucheng glanced at him, "Who did you learn from this kung fu of beating a rake?" Is it because I have to work hard to prepare for class, or are you busy with things in the store? ”

Lu Jingcheng hurriedly flattered, "It's me, of course it's me!" I was wrong – how about making it up to you tonight? ”

A girl standing not far away heard this, blushed and covered her mouth and snickered.

Shang Yucheng shook off Lu Jingcheng's hand, his pretty face was slightly red, "Call you nonsense!" ”

"Gaffes! Miss is not strange. Lu Jingcheng hurriedly stepped forward and held Shang Yucheng's hand as well, "How about having dinner with you tonight?" ”

Shang Yucheng pretended to think about it for a few seconds before nodding and saying, "Since it's rare to be free today, let's invite Miss Jia to sit together." I know you are the most careless, I'm afraid you haven't officially invited Miss Jia to a meal these days, this business must first gather people's hearts, you don't want to be inappropriate. ”

Lu Jingcheng smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, listen to you." Then he whispered, "You have to establish the prestige of the proprietress of the proprietress , I understand." ”

"I'm ignoring you anymore." Shang Yucheng said angrily.

"Okay, okay, I know you're all planning for me." Lu Jingcheng got busy and serious, "I'll call Miss Jia later." ”

Shang Yucheng nodded with satisfaction, "Since it's the two of us who have a treat, ask her to bring her boyfriend with you." ”

Lu Jingcheng said with a smile, "She doesn't have any boyfriend, I see that her mind is on Ye Shao's body, and she can't let go of it for a while." ”

"Ye Shen?" Shang Yucheng looked stunned and surprised, and seemed to be very credible.

Lu Jingcheng nodded, "It's not him." Let's just be a good person with adult beauty and create a date opportunity for them. I'll ask Ye Shen to come along. ”

Shang Yucheng nodded, "Then it's decided." You work hard, I'll go back after a walk. ”

Lu Jingcheng hurriedly said, "I'm not in a hurry to work at this moment, since you want to go shopping, I'll accompany you." ”

Shang Yucheng hurriedly shook his head, "Forget it, you are too conspicuous here, everyone is watching, what's the fun of shopping." ”

As he was talking, Lu Jingpeng, who was patrolling the field with people, came over.

Whether it was Lu Zuoyuan back then or Lu Jingpeng now, the patrol every morning is the routine work of the Huijin Department Store.

Shang Yucheng saw Lu Jingpeng with a faint smile on his face.

"Yucheng." Lu Jingpeng walked up to her, and the smile on his face was very subtle, "Hello." ”

"Big brother." Shang Yucheng also greeted with a smile.

Lu Jingpeng glanced at Lu Jingcheng beside her, and said with a smile, "Since you came to visit, you should call your sister-in-law to come along, and it will save her from being bored at home every day." ”

"Yes." Shang Yucheng nodded, "I will definitely ask my sister-in-law to go shopping another day and relax." Naturally, shopping is interesting when women are together-" Shang Yucheng smiled and glanced at Lu Jingcheng beside him, "If I hadn't come to remind Jingcheng to invite Miss Ye Shaojia to dinner today, I wouldn't have bothered me." ”

Lu Jingcheng took advantage of his brother's inattention and secretly gave Shang Yucheng an appreciative look. Although the eldest brother happened to bump into himself and Shang Yucheng talking about private matters, since Shang Yucheng was reminding him and Ye Shen of the dinner, the eldest brother couldn't say anything.

"Ye Shao and Miss Jia?" Lu Jingpeng raised his eyebrows with interest.

"Oh, it's just that I asked Miss Jia to accompany me." Shang Yucheng understood what Lu Jingpeng meant, and when he heard that Ye Shen was present, he probably wanted to go, but he was worried that such a dinner was a four-person date, and it didn't seem very interesting to go. Of course, it is not ruled out that he wants to make some fuss about the relationship between Ye Shen and Jia Wenxin.

"Big brother, is you free at night, why don't you go to have a meal together?" Lu Jingcheng said.

Lu Jingpeng smiled, as if the two brothers had a tacit understanding of brother and brother, and said kindly, "Okay! We happen to be free today, so let's go together. Since you all have beautiful women as companions, wouldn't it be rude for me to invite one more female companion? ”

Shang Yucheng's heart moved, I don't know who the female companion Lu Jingpeng wants to bring is?

"Of course it doesn't matter, it's just a light meal." Lu Jingcheng said.

"Okay." Lu Jingpeng said to Shang Yucheng with a smile, "Then I'll call to make arrangements, and ask the driver to send your sister-in-law with you at night." ”

This arrangement was not within Shang Yucheng's plan, but she didn't hesitate at all, nodded and smiled, "Then there is Sister-in-law Lao." ”

"Soon it's a family, what's polite." Lu Jingpeng turned his head to look at the people following behind him, and said with a smile, "Then you guys go shopping again, I'll go busy first." ”

When Lu Jingpeng left, Lu Jingcheng smiled and said, "Today, the eldest brother has spoken, I have to accompany you to go shopping!" Let's go. ”

Lu Jingcheng stretched out his arm, Shang Yucheng shook his head helplessly, and reached out to hold Lu Jingcheng's arm, "Let's go to Yongan Department Store." ”
