Looking at the kind old friend in front of him, Shang Yucheng also smiled in return and said softly, "Mr. Hoffman, I have always been grateful to you. ”

Hoffman shook his head, "Miss Shang doesn't need to be so polite. He smiled and winked playfully, and the beard on his face moved. He leaned in and whispered, "Miss Shang, are you ready to accept my Christmas present?" ”

Shang Yucheng was stunned, and only then did he realize what Hoffman meant, nodded with a smile and was about to say something, but he heard someone talking on the side.

"Miss Yucheng, Mr. Hoffman." Zhao Wenxuan said hello a few steps away, and walked over with a smile, looking elegant as usual.

"Mr. Zhao—" Shang Yucheng nodded with a smile in response, and looked at Mr. Hoffman with respect on his face, "It turns out that this gentleman is the famous Mr. Hoffman, but I was rude." ”

Hoffman smiled heartily, "Miss Shang is elegant and generous, and there is no rudeness. ”

Shang Yucheng had no choice but to smile reservedly, "Mr. Hoffman has won the award." ”

Zhao Wenxuan looked at her with a smile and said, "It turns out that Miss Yucheng doesn't know Mr. Hoffman yet, so I'll introduce you to the two of you." Mr. Hoffman is now a designer at Leng and one of the shareholders of the store. He pointed at Shang Yucheng, "This is Miss Shang Yucheng." Presumably, Mr. Hoffman and Miss Yucheng will be able to talk, and Miss Yucheng is also a recent return from the United States, and now teaches art courses at Guanghua University. ”

Hoffman nodded and smiled when he heard this, "It turns out that she is a beautiful woman with both talent and appearance, and I am fortunate to meet her!" ”

Shang Yucheng laughed a little embarrassedly, but Zhao Wenxuan laughed out loud, "Mr. Hoffman is not bad at all!" ”

The three of them chatted and laughed, and finally attracted Leng Hui's attention, her face sank, and she hurriedly walked here.

Zhao Wenxuan saw Leng Hui coming in a hurry, and quickly guessed her thoughts, this shop was a nail she inserted into Leng's family, and it was all thanks to Hoffman's credit that it was opened. She would never allow herself to get too close to Hoffman's trump card.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wenxuan smiled and said to Shang Yucheng and Hoffman, "It's a busy day, let's talk first, and I'll stay with you for a while." ”

Shang Yucheng nodded and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, please." ”

When Leng Hui came over, Zhao Wenxuan had already walked away, and when she saw Hoffman and Shang Yucheng chatting in a low voice, she hurriedly called, "Miss Shang." ”

Shang Yucheng pretended to notice her appearance, turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile, "Miss Leng." ”

Leng Hui took two steps closer, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Lu Jingcheng walking towards this side, paused slightly, and said with a coquettish smile, "I didn't expect that Miss Shang and Mr. Hoffman already knew each other, what are the two of you talking about so happy?" ”

"Nothing." Shang Yucheng said lightly, "Mr. Zhao just said a few jokes. ”

"Cousin, he's always been funny—" Leng Hui still smiled, "By the way, I heard that my cousin and Miss Shang had a meal together a few days ago, so I guess Miss Shang must know her cousin." ”

I don't know where Leng Hui found out about the two of them eating, this sentence was unexpected by Shang Yucheng. She frowned and glanced at Leng Hui, and smiled, "I didn't bother to talk and laugh with Mr. Zhao last time." Because I heard that Leng and Mr. Hoffman are now cooperating, and want to entrust Leng and Mr. Hoffman to design a set of jewelry for me - presumably Miss Leng also knows that Jing Cheng and I are already engaged, and the wedding should be prepared as soon as possible, so as not to be in a hurry. ”

Leng Hui never believed in the topic of what Shang Yucheng and Zhao Wenxuan discussed at that meal, according to her, Shang Yucheng clearly tried his best to get acquainted with young masters like Lu Jingcheng, Ye Shen and Zhao Wenxuan, so that he could be a young grandmother in peace and stability - it was not a question of whose young grandmother it was.

Leng Hui sneered, "Really? ”

Shang Yucheng smiled, and without her opening, Mr. Hoffman on the side nodded and said, "Mr. Zhao has already mentioned this matter to me. He looked at Leng Hui and smiled, "The wedding of Miss Shang and Mr. Lu will definitely be a grand event in Shanghai, and if we can provide wedding jewelry to the two of us, it will be of great benefit to us." ”

Of course Leng Hui knows this truth, but if the bride is replaced by her, then the temptation of this benefit will be much greater. She smiled and said, "That's great." I think Mr. Hoffman will do his best. ”

Shang Yucheng smiled and turned his head, and when he saw Lu Jingcheng behind him, he seemed to be taken aback, "Jingcheng." When did you come here? She seemed a little embarrassed and said, "Did you hear what we said?" ”

Lu Jingcheng walked up to her with a smile, "It's a pity I didn't hear it, what are you talking about?" ”

Shang Yucheng hurriedly replied, "Secret! Greeted Hoffman and Leng Hui with a smile, and walked to the side with Lu Jingcheng to look at the jewelry on the counter.

Leng Hui's face was gloomy, and her eyes were full of gloom as she looked at them.

Hoffman on the side looked at Leng Hui, a sneer appeared on his face, and turned around and walked in the direction of Zhao Wenxuan.

At this time, there were already a lot of customers gathered in the store, in addition to the VIPs invited by the Leng family, there were also many regular customers of the Leng family, most of whom came with the purpose of having a sneak peek of the goods in the new store of the Leng family.

Leng Hui didn't have time to think about anything else at this time, and swirled around the crowd like a flower and butterfly. And many guests who are familiar with the Leng family are also willing to compliment her, after all, this is the first appearance of Leng Fanqing's only daughter in the business world, and even Leng Fanqing doesn't want to steal the limelight from her daughter, so she deliberately didn't come.

Zhao Wenxuan stood in the corner, holding a glass of champagne in his hand, smiling at Leng Hui in the center of the crowd. She stood in front of a one-man tall jewelry cabinet, scratching her head surrounded by several reporters.

There was a string of gemstone necklaces on display in that jewelry cabinet, this necklace was the so-called British princess brought by Leng Hui to show off to Shang Yucheng, this one was not Hoffman's private collection, but Hoffman matchmaking, and Leng paid a huge deposit to borrow it from a British jewelry museum.

Zhao Wenxuan raised his wine glass and took a sip elegantly. Quietly looking at the high-spirited Leng Hui.

He is the manager of the Leng family, since Leng Fanqing has retreated to the second line, he has worked hard in the Leng family, and he does not dare to slack off. But on a day like today, he was forgotten in a corner by everyone.

Thinking of the molds sent by Hoffman, his eyes suddenly became cold, and the fake jewelry incident at the Lu family's engagement banquet made his status in the Leng family plummet. He had been suspecting that Leng Hui was the ghost, but there was no evidence of it—until he saw the molds that Hoffman had stumbled upon and discovered.

Leng Hui actually bought off the craftsman under his nose, made fake jewelry to frame himself - and even saved a sum of money in his account, so as to completely arouse Leng Fanqing's suspicion of himself. If it weren't for her, who would have been able to get their own seal so easily?

"Miss Leng - can you bring this necklace and let us take a picture?" A young reporter approached and spoke enthusiastically.

Leng Hui hesitated, but listened to the reporter continue, "The royal jewels are matched with Leng's daughter, this photo may be published in foreign magazines!" Please Miss Leng let us take a picture. ”

"Yes, yes!" The reporters around him hurriedly echoed and propped up their cameras.

The words of the royal jewel made Leng Hui feel a little fluttering, she glanced at the glittering gems in the cabinet, and nodded involuntarily.

Zhao Wenxuan watched Leng Hui's actions from a distance and smiled sarcastically. He really knew her best.

He raised his glass and drank it down, heading to the bar in the back.

Lu Jingcheng was watching the smug Leng Hui in the spring breeze on the side, Shang Yucheng was also standing not far away, but his eyes were always quietly on Zhao Wenxuan's body, and when he saw him walking towards the back, he walked to Lu Jingcheng's side, "It's so noisy here, let's go to the back and take a look." It's not too late to say goodbye after Miss Leng finishes taking pictures. ”

Lu Jingcheng nodded and accompanied Shang Yucheng inside.

Ye Shen was not very tired of being here, and he planned to leave after a circle.

Shang Yucheng frowned when she saw that Ye Shen was about to walk towards the door from the other side, she raised her hand to look at the watch on her wrist, hesitated slightly, and suddenly raised her voice and called, "Mr. Ye!" ”

At this moment, two gunshots suddenly rang out at the door, and a frightened scream was heard!

I saw five or six men in black shirts and masked faces rushing into the door of the store with guns pointed at the crowd with guns in their hands, driving everyone inside, and closing the door of the store with the door wide open.

The moment the gun rang out, Ye Shen understood the intention of Shang Yucheng to stop him, as long as he took a few steps further, he would face this group of fanatics.

He turned his head to look at Shang Yucheng, the two glanced at each other across everyone, and Shang Yucheng shook his head slightly.

It's not Shang Yucheng's plan, it must be Zhao Wenxuan! Ye Shen understood Shang Yucheng's hint and frowned and signaled her to be careful.

"Yucheng!" Lu Jingcheng nervously whispered to her, "Come over here." ”

It turned out that a gangster came over and brandished a gun to make them go backwards. Lu Jingcheng hurriedly pulled Shang Yucheng and hid in the back counter according to the gangster's instructions.

Worried about Ye Shen, Shang Yucheng raised his head slightly, looking for Ye Shen's figure.

"You!" A small-eyed but fierce gangster walked over, just in time to see Shang Yucheng looking up, he pointed a gun at her, took a cloth bag and threw it in front of her, "Put everything in the cabinet in!" ”

Shang Yucheng had no choice but to pick up the cloth bag and stand up, obediently following behind the man, picking out all kinds of bright jewelry from his broken cabinet one by one and putting them in the cloth bag.

Their movements were fast, and in less than ten minutes, the contents of the store had been ransacked.

With just the right look of horror on his face, Shang Yucheng handed over the bag in his hand.

"And the necklace she wears." The skinny gangster pointed to the shivering cold flower in the corner, and motioned for Shang Yucheng to go over and take it.

Shang Yucheng knew that this necklace was something they were determined to obtain, and it was a very important prop in her and Hoffman's plan - but she didn't expect that she would actually pick it up herself.

Shang Yucheng took a step forward, his gaze happened to meet Leng Hui's resentful eyes, the corner of her eye swept over the black muzzle of the gun on her side, and said in a low voice, "Miss Leng, money is something outside the body. In such a situation, Miss Leng can only cut her love. ”

Of course, Leng Hui knew the situation at this time, but when she thought about the contract signed with the museum, she couldn't help but feel cold in her heart.

"Miss Leng—" Shang Yucheng urged in a low voice.

Leng Hui didn't dare to look at those gangsters, so she had to stare at Shang Yucheng fiercely, and unwillingly untied the necklace from her neck.

Shang Yucheng leaned over to get it, but Leng Hui suddenly exerted his strength and threw the necklace at Shang Yucheng.

Shang Yucheng was defenseless for a while, and the huge gemstone pendant happened to hit the bridge of Shang Yucheng's nose, Shang Yucheng screamed in pain, and the necklace fell down.

It was too late for Shang Yucheng to pick it up again.

I don't know what Zhao Wenxuan promised these people, but breaking this most expensive piece of jewelry will definitely anger this group of villains-

Time did not allow her to think carefully about the consequences, she was only distracted for a moment, and the figure in front of her flickered, and someone flashed past her.

"Ye Shen!" Shang Yucheng didn't have time to react, so he could only look at him blankly.

"Here you go." Ye Shen delicately threw the necklace into the arms of the gangster behind Shang Yucheng, reached out to help Shang Yucheng squat on the ground, took out a delicately embroidered handkerchief from his pocket, and pressed it on Shang Yucheng's bleeding nose.

"How?" Ye Shen frowned and said in a low voice. "Does it hurt so much?"

Shang Yucheng waved his hand to signal that he was fine, and took the handkerchief and pressed it himself.

After getting the necklace, it was completely complete, and the gangsters exchanged a few words in a low voice, quickly retreated to the door, and looked out for a moment.

After a while, two small cars stopped outside the door, which was probably the person who answered it.

Sure enough, seeing two cars coming, a group of gangsters quickly opened the door of the store and rushed out, got into the car and drove away.

It was only at this point that Shang Yucheng was truly relieved. She raised her head and glanced at Ye Shen silently.

After the catastrophe, everyone left with a look of horror and joy regardless of the loss of the store.

Zhao Wenxuan also didn't care about Leng Hui, whose face was like ashes, and hurriedly went to call the police station.

"Yucheng." Lu Jingcheng walked up to Shang Yucheng with a slightly cold expression, "Are you okay?" ”

Shang Yucheng didn't pay that much attention, she shook her head, with a frightened look on her face, "Let's hurry up." ”

Lu Jingcheng paused, looked at Shang Yucheng and said, "Miss Leng may want someone to help here, I'll stay and take a look, you go back first." ”

Shang Yucheng looked at him with some surprise, and only nodded after a pause, "Then I'll go first, how careful you are." ”

Lu Jingcheng nodded, glanced at Ye Shen who was standing on the side, bowed slightly, and then turned around and walked towards Leng Hui.

Looking at Lu Jingcheng's figure, Shang Yucheng's face turned cold and he didn't speak.

"I'm afraid he's noticed something." Ye Shen looked at Lu Jingcheng who walked away and whispered in her ear.

Shang Yucheng also had this guess, but what did he perceive, and how did he know?

"Let's go." Shang Yucheng said lightly, and after speaking, he turned around and walked out first.
