After listening to Xianglin's words, Shang Yucheng hurriedly picked up the newspaper and opened it to find it. Sure enough, the headline of the social edition of the news was the photo of yesterday's New Year's Day ball, I don't know where those reporters got the photos they took when they were in class at Guanghua University, and the title reads "Guanghua female teachers empathize and don't fall in love, and Huijin Ershao was tragically abandoned". Shang Yucheng hurriedly looked down, and the whole article was extremely imaginative, describing the story of her, Ye Shen and Lu Jingcheng as if it were erotic, and it was rare that there was a photo of her getting into Ye Shen's car after the dance party - I don't know how the reporter secretly took it.

"How can any reporter run to the ball?" Shang Yucheng frowned and said angrily.

Xianglin said, "Huijin Company's New Year's Day dance party has reporters every year, miss, don't you know?" ”

"I really didn't pay that much attention to the people coming and going last night." Shang Yucheng replied, hurriedly stood up and walked to the living room.

Ye Shengang talked to himself last night about keeping his relationship with him a secret, and today the photo of the two of them together late at night was published in the newspaper in a grand manner, which is really unfortunate. I don't know if Ye Shen has seen the newspaper or not, and whether he has thought of a countermeasure.

Shang Yucheng dialed Ye Shen's home phone number while thinking about it, and as soon as it rang twice, someone picked it up.

"Hey—"

A slightly lazy voice rang on the other end of the phone.

Shang Yucheng was stunned for a moment before he calmed down, "May I ask if this is Mr. Ye's home?" ”

The woman didn't make a fuss, she only heard a coquettish shout on the other end of the phone, "Ye Shen! Telephone—" Then there was a complaint, "who calls so early in the morning and disturbs people's dreams!" ”

Shang Yucheng listened to the voice on the other side, and showed a slight smile, only Ye Shen could come up with such a damaging move to deal with the rumors outside.

She couldn't help but shake her head and hung up the phone.

As soon as I hung up the phone, I heard a knock on the door. Xianglin originally wanted to continue to ask about Shang Yucheng and Ye Shen, but at this moment, he had to temporarily suppress his curiosity and go to open the door first.

I don't know who came so early. Shang Yucheng glanced up at the wall clock, and just as he was thinking, the guest followed Xianglin and walked in.

"Miss Shang."

"Mr. Shu—" Shang Yucheng looked at him in surprise and stood up, smiling, "Why are you here?" ”

Xianglin went to make tea, and Shang Yucheng beckoned Shu Qiang to sit down in the study.

As soon as Shu Qiang sat down, he said, "I saw this morning's newspaper, you and Mr. Ye—"

Shang Yucheng smiled, although it was said that it was to be kept secret, but Shu Qiang had won her trust, so there was no need to hide it, not to mention that he had planned to tell him about it. She nodded slightly, "Although the newspaper is exaggerated, it can be regarded as crooked. Mr. Ye and I decided to be together. ”

Looking at Shu Qiang's stunned expression, Shang Yucheng paused and said, "But we don't plan to make this matter public." Mr. Ye already has a countermeasure, and the tabloid reporters who are staying with him today will have something else to gain, and they will definitely be able to remove me from the news. ”

Shu Qiang didn't care about this, when he saw Shang Yucheng personally admit the matter with Ye Shen, although he was surprised, he was not completely surprised, he frowned and paused, "But Lu Jingcheng is there-"

Shang Yucheng shook his head and sighed, "That's where the tricky part is. Lu Jingcheng was already alert to me, and although he didn't suspect my identity, he still missed the opportunity in the end. She looked at Shu Qiang, "These days, I have to trouble Mr. Shu to keep an eye on the Lu family for me, so as not to cause trouble." ”

Shu Qiang nodded, "Miss Shang, don't worry." ”

After Xianglin sent the tea out, Shang Yucheng continued, "Actually, even if Mr. Shu doesn't come today, I plan to meet Mr. Shu." There is one more thing-" Shang Yucheng showed a very solemn look, "I need Mr. Shu to check it for me." ”

"What's the matter?" Shu Qiang saw Shang Yucheng's serious face and asked hurriedly.

Shang Yucheng hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "You check for me when Huijin's sea cargo enters the customs—is there anything special?" ”

Shu Qiang didn't expect Shang Yucheng to make such a request, and couldn't help frowning and said, "What's special? What does Miss Shang mean? ”

Shang Yucheng shook his head, "I don't know, you go check first." However, this matter is very important, and Mr. Shu must be cautious and never let others notice, so remember to remember. ”

When Shu Qiang saw Shang Yucheng say this, he knew that this matter was by no means simple, so he nodded seriously and agreed.

Shang Yucheng looked at him and smiled gratefully.

Since the crime occurred six years ago, Shu Qiang has always been the most loyal friend and the most honest and reliable partner. even lost his public position in order to clear Su Jingyao's infamy and restore the truth. And since he came back, Shu Qiang has spared no effort to help her protect her, and came to her at the risk of being discovered by the Lu family as soon as he learned of the accident - this love cannot be bought by any amount of money.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said to Shu Qiang, "Mr. Shu has always been dedicated to helping Yucheng's benevolence, and Yucheng has all in mind. I heard Ye Shen say that Shanghai will probably inevitably go to war. After these things are settled, it is time for Mr. Shu to leave Shanghai for refuge. ”

Shang Yucheng's plan in his heart was to give the Su family's mansion in the countryside to Shu Qiang, and he should repay him for his loyalty and intentions.

Shang Yucheng suddenly said this, which made Shu Qiang, an upright man, stunned, and he reacted for a moment before smiling slightly, "I have also been a detective anyway, if there is a real war, I will always be better than those people who have never touched a gun - the ancestor said, 'The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband', there is no reason to avoid it." ”

Shu Qiang's words shocked Shang Yucheng's heart slightly, she never thought that Shu Qiang, who was so immersed in carefully running a small business of a detective agency, would have such an idea of going to the country together.

She couldn't help but think of Ye Shen, such a seemingly chic and wanton flower, who would have thought that he would be desperate to devote himself to the cause of saving the country.

Shu Qiang looked at Shang Yucheng, with a hint of concern in his eyes, "It's Miss Shang, you should have made plans in advance—in fact, when it comes to it, what is the past grievances and grievances compared to living well." ”

This truth is the most common truth, Shang Yucheng has always understood it, but life is always more difficult than the truth. She smiled and did not continue the topic.

Shu Qiang also knew that this kind of advice was not necessarily useful, so he took a sip of tea and smiled, "I didn't congratulate you and Mr. Ye—congratulations, Miss Shang." ”

Shang Yucheng thanked him with a smile, and asked a few words about the progress of the search for the child as usual, Shu Qiang said something about it, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

In the newspaper the next day, the news that Ye Shen had a new girlfriend came out again. Not only that, but the heroine of this news has also become the movie star Zhou Ping. It is rumored that Ye Shen has been pursuing Zhou Ping for a long time, and now he has finally got what he wants - the photo of the two coming out of Ye Shen's house early in the morning was taken squarely.

Compared with the university faculty who is not well-known, Zhou Ping is of course much more concerned, and her love with Ye Shen is naturally much more credible. Shang Yucheng got out of the rumors like this. It's just that although he got rid of the rumors, in the eyes of those who have a heart, it may not be so.

Approaching the New Year, Huijin Department Store is more lively than usual. Chinese New Year is a top priority for the Chinese people, and although the shadow of war still looms over their heads, and even if it tends to grow stronger, it still cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the people.

Lu Jingcheng looked at the documents full of numbers in front of him, and suddenly pushed them away impatiently. Got up and took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and poured a full glass.

Ye Shen was a regular in the newspaper, and he always had to publish various secrets about him and some women every once in a while. But on New Year's Day, Fang posted the scandal between him and Shang Yucheng, and the next day broke the news of his private meeting with Zhou Ping, which one is true and which one is false?

He still remembered Ye Shen's actions that night, just because he misunderstood that he was close to Shang Yucheng, he beat him up, and there were many times in the past that he seemed to defend her, all of which seemed to have only one explanation - that is, what really happened between them. He had doubted the ambiguity between them countless times, but Shang Yucheng's resolute denial made him suppress the suspicion in his heart, until he discovered that Shang Yucheng had another side that he didn't know about.

He kept his suspicions about Shang Yucheng in his heart for a long time, but he still couldn't think of other flaws. If Shang Yucheng knew his identity at the very beginning and approached him for money—then why did he never ask for money?

If she doesn't really like herself, and it's not for money, then what's it for?

There is also the robbery that happened in the Leng family's new jewelry store, Shang Yucheng directly denied the relationship with the robbery, but the abrupt "Ye Shen" at the door at that time, could it really be a coincidence?

——

Seeing the news in the newspaper, Xianglin was indignant for a whole day. In the evening, Shang Yucheng finally couldn't stand her complaining, and said with a smile, "If you don't know, you still think that Ye Shen has done something that can't stop you." He's always been like that, and you usually follow him, don't you know that? ”

Xianglin glanced at Shang Yucheng in confusion and said, "Miss and Mr. Ye have never been good, why aren't they angry at all?" After a pause, he said, "It is precisely because we have been following Mr. Ye from the Ye family that we know that these are rumors." Although Mr. Ye is greedy for fun, he is just socializing with those women, can he marry home and be a young grandmother? She sighed and shook her head, "Speaking of which, I don't know what's wrong with Mr. Ye now—these things are getting more and more unreasonable." ”

Shang Yucheng couldn't help but smile when she saw Xianglin's appearance, she looked at the time, put down the book in her hand and got up and said, "Depending on what he does, he doesn't have to make you angry like this." Since you have been unjust for me, I have received your love. You don't have to cook today, so I'll invite you out to eat. ”

Xianglin hurriedly shook his head and said, "How can I let Miss break the bill for a girl for me!" If the young lady wants to go out to eat, go there, and I'll stay at home. ”

Shang Yucheng couldn't help but pull her to change her clothes, and said, "What's the point of you staying at home alone, go with me, just accompany me." ”

Xianglin couldn't push it, so he had to change his clothes and come out.

Shang Yucheng saw that she was wearing a brand-new cotton dress, and smiled, "Since I asked you to accompany me today, I simply don't want to dress up like this again." You're taller than me, and you must look better than me in a dress, so go and change into my clothes. ”

said, regardless of the twisted Xianglin, he chose a set of clothes and threw it to her, urging her to change.

Xianglin came out of the room for a long time, and said with a red face while pinching the corner of his clothes, "I've changed it." ”

Shang Yucheng looked at it and said with a smile, "My vision couldn't be more accurate, and sure enough, our Xianglin is also a beauty!" ”

Xianglin's face turned even redder, "What kind of beauty am I a girl, don't make fun of me, Miss." ”

Shang Yucheng smiled and put on his coat, "Let's go." Since I said that you don't believe it, then go out and ask others to see if you are a beauty. ”

Shang Yucheng knew that Xianglin didn't have a chance to set foot in a high-end restaurant, so since he took her out, he told her to enjoy it completely, so he didn't ask her, and directly ordered the coachman to take them to Avery Restaurant.

After ordering the meal, the waiter opened the wine for them first, and the two of them just raised their glasses to drink, but Shang Yucheng saw an acquaintance come in at the door.

"Miss, what are you laughing at?" Xianglin looked at Shang Yucheng's expression and asked curiously.

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked, "Hey, why is Mr. Ye here too?" Did he come for you? ”

Shang Yucheng shook his head, still with a smile on his face, "We just came here on a whim, how can he know?" What's more, how could he come to us with his beautiful people by his side? ”

Xianglin saw that Ye Shen was followed by a rather amorous woman, who looked very familiar.

"That young lady - isn't that the big star Zhou Ping?" Xianglin said in surprise.

"It's going to be a lot of fun." Shang Yucheng glanced at Ye Shen from a distance with a smile, and said to Xianglin, "We're here to eat, don't worry about them." ”

Ye Shen just came in from outside the door, and was talking to the person who looked like the foreman, but Zhou Ping walked to the front of the bar by himself, ordered a glass of wine and drank it.

Xianglin rolled his eyes at Zhou Ping from afar, turned his face and whispered, "This real person is much uglier than in the magazine." ”

Shang Yucheng said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you think it's good-looking or not, just like Mr. Ye." ”

Xianglin looked up at Shang Yucheng, "Mr. Ye has always been willing to be courteous to Miss, but now that this is the case, doesn't Miss mind at all?" ”

Shang Yucheng shook his head and took a sip of the red wine in his glass.

Ye Shen finally finished chatting, and walked to the table under the leadership of the waiter, and after walking a few steps, he saw Shang Yucheng who was calm and leisurely drinking red wine with Xianglin.

She looked up at Ye Shen with a smile, "Mr. Ye—what a coincidence!" ”

Ye Shen couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Shang Yucheng who suddenly appeared here, but he quickly reacted and smiled politely, "Miss Shang, are you also here to eat?" ”
