Waiting for the two women to walk away, Ye Shen put the wine bottle aside and said sincerely, "Jingcheng." I couldn't stand you that day, and I shouldn't have drunk two more drinks and started messing around. I solemnly apologize to you and hope that you will forgive me. ”

Lu Jingcheng glanced at him, got up and took the wine bottle and poured it for himself.

Ye Shen looked at his face, and suddenly sighed and said, "Actually-I wanted to say something to you before. It's just that I saw that you were in love with Miss Shang for a long time, so I couldn't open my mouth for a long time. ”

Lu Jingcheng looked at him, his eyes became unpredictable.

Ye Shen saw his gaze and said with a wry smile, "Don't get me wrong—although Miss Shang is beautiful and wise, I have no selfish feelings for her." If it weren't for seeing you so affectionate, why would I bother with this matter. ”

Hearing Ye Shen's words, Lu Jingcheng's eyes showed a look of confusion, "What do you mean?" ”

Ye Shen paused, glanced in the direction of the bathroom, and then spoke, "I mean, it's not necessarily a good thing for you to be separated now. He looked at Lu Jingcheng, "I've always been suspicious of Shang Yucheng, and now it seems that it's definitely me who is too careful-Shang Yucheng and Zhao Wenxuan are clearly cooperating liars, and the two of them secretly teamed up to grab the money of the Leng family-" Ye Shen's eyes became serious, "If it weren't for this incident, maybe the next target would be you." ”

Lu Jingcheng looked at Ye Shen in shock, "What did you say?" ”

Ye Shen looked at him, "This matter started a few months ago. ”

"A few months ago, I met Miss Shang for the first time at the Lido Ballroom. She was meeting a man and they quickly left after meeting me. I didn't take it to heart until a few days later I saw her with you. Only then did I know that she was actually your fiancée, but she had never seen me at that time, so why should she hide away? Ye Shen looked at Lu Jingcheng, "There is only one reason, the person who met him knew me." ”

Lu Jingcheng suddenly remembered that Shang Yucheng once mentioned the Lido Ballroom, saying that she was dragged by the tenant next door. Calculate the time, it was after she took her to meet Ye Shen - thinking of this, Lu Jingcheng suddenly understood the deep meaning of what she said. Presumably because he was worried that Ye Shen would tell him about her in the Lido Ballroom, so he made an excuse in advance to avoid being suspicious - Lu Jingcheng suddenly felt frightened. Have they been calculating themselves ever since? Lu Jingcheng subconsciously shook his head, "There are countless people who know you in the whole of Shanghai, and it doesn't prove that he is Zhao Wenxuan." ”

Ye Shen nodded, "Not bad." Even if I saw Zhao Wenxuan's appearance in a trance, it couldn't prove anything. But later, on the eve of your engagement, you once took Miss Shang to Leng's cargo ship, the Skystar, do you remember? ”

Lu Jingcheng nodded, and couldn't help but recall the scene at that time, Shang Yucheng, who never disturbed his work, offered to accompany him to the Tianxing to inspect the goods, what does this have to do with Zhao Wenxuan?

Ye Shen said, "On the ship that day, there was also a batch of Leng's goods. Because Leng's goods are all valuable and light jewelry, they have always been kept in the safe on the ship, and Zhao Wenxuan personally picked up the goods. I can confidently say that the shipment was fine on the ship, but the next day at the scene of your engagement - it turned out to be a fake. ”

Lu Jingcheng showed a slightly dazed look, "You mean that Zhao Wenxuan and Shang Yucheng teamed up to exchange the real thing for a fake at that time?" But why would they do it? Zhao Wenxuan was also blamed for this - what good does this do him? ”

Ye Shen smiled faintly, "Naturally, it's for money." Although Zhao Wenxuan is in charge of the Leng family, the property of the Leng family is not in his hands, and he needs money. It's just that they must not have thought that there would be an accident at the engagement banquet and expose the fake. But it didn't make a difference to them, the goods had already been sent to the right place to be stolen and turned into real money. ”

Lu Jingcheng's heart gradually sank, and he suddenly lost the ability to think in front of a fact that shocked him one by one.

"I was suspicious at the time, and I also asked Miss Shang to verify it. But Miss Shang flatly denied it, and I had no evidence that they did it, so I had to leave it at that. Ye Shen looked at Lu Jingcheng and said calmly.

Lu Jingcheng understood Ye Shen's concerns, since he was just guessing, even if he told himself at the time, I am afraid that he would not believe it. He looked at Ye Shen, "So, the robbery of Leng's jewelry store was also committed by them?" ”

Unexpectedly, Ye Shen shook his head, "I don't think Miss Shang was involved in the jewelry store robbery.

Lu Jingcheng frowned, "Why?" ”

Ye Shen said, "Even if Miss Shang did these unrighteous things for money, judging from the fact that she donated to the orphanage-" He looked at Lu Jingcheng and paused, "She is not a bad person. She wouldn't do such a thing as a robbery at gunpoint. ”

Lu Jingcheng shook his head and sneered, "How can you know?" Since she can hurt others without a bottom line, what can't she do as a robber? ”

Ye Shen looked at him, "If Miss Shang is really so ruthless, you are her closest person, how can you be unaware?" ”

Lu Jingcheng pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

"A few days before the robbery, Dean Chen of the School of Economics of Guanghua University invited me to give a speech at an academic seminar, and I happened to meet Miss Shang after the robbery. Later, when I was about to leave, I saw Miss Shang and Zhao Wenxuan leave the school together-" Ye Shen frowned slightly, as if he was carefully recalling, "I vaguely heard them arguing about something, Miss Shang shook her head-seemed to be very dissatisfied with what Zhao Wenxuan said. ”

"Thinking about it later—" Ye Shen raised his eyes slightly to look at Lu Jingcheng, "I'm afraid Miss Shang didn't agree with Zhao Wenxuan's plan to rob Leng's jewelry store, so she argued with him." Ye Shen paused, "So Shang Yucheng didn't participate in the robbery, but he knew Zhao Wenxuan's plans." ”

Because of this, she suddenly stopped Ye Shen at the moment he went out, so as to prevent him from clashing with the robbers all of a sudden. Lu Jingcheng came to a conclusion logically.

"Everyone was kidnapped by the robbers that day, and Miss Shang was chosen to help the robbers collect the exhibits at the scene, and I think it's no coincidence." Ye Shen continued, "Miss Shang must have been worried that other people would be harmed to suggest those robbers, and she should do these things—thus avoiding the situation where other people were injured. Ye Shen paused, "Even—she called me at the risk of being exposed, who almost collided with the robbers." ”

Ye Shen looked at Lu Jingcheng thoughtfully, "From this, I believe that although Miss Shang uses the means of circumstantiation to collect money, she has no intention of harming innocent people, and she will never participate in such a dangerous thing as robbery." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Shen stopped. He had already exhausted himself to fill in all the doubts, but whether he could successfully avoid Lu Jingcheng from associating Shang Yucheng with Su Jingyao, and whether Lu Jingcheng would accept all this-he didn't know.

He looked at Lu Jingcheng, who was still in a daze and confusion on the other side, and secretly felt anxious.

"But that day at the ball—" Lu Jingcheng looked up at Ye Shen, "You are clearly maintaining her appearance." If it's as you say, why are you doing it again? ”

Ye Shen knew that this was the last question, he was silent for a long time, and then raised his head, "At the New Year's Day dance six years ago, I had a big fight with your brother Lu Jingpeng over a woman. He smiled wryly, "I was young and vigorous, and I left the ball in a rage. I've never seen that woman again—"

Lu Jingcheng looked at him in shock, "Wu Hong? ”

"That's right." Ye Shen nodded calmly and sadly, "It's the dead Wu Hong." He lowered his eyes slightly, "I saw the New Year's Day ball again, but the person from that year - will never come back." He paused, "I guess I just needed to have a good fight that day." He sighed and muttered, "If I hadn't been so impulsive to let her go to someone else, maybe it wouldn't have come to this." ”

Lu Jingcheng suddenly remembered what Ye Shen had said that day - 'I shouldn't have let you go to him at all'. ”

Could it be that he was so drunk that he regarded Shang Yucheng as Wu Hong back then?

Zhou Ping and Leng Hui's voices laughing closer and closer, Lu Jingcheng sighed, raised his glass and said, "The so-called world is unpredictable, after so many years, you don't have to blame yourself anymore." ”

Ye Shen shook his head and raised his wine glass as well, "Not bad." The world is unpredictable - you and I should look away, and we don't have to think about the past. ”

——

About the reason for drinking two more glasses, Shang Yucheng quickly fell asleep while lying on the bed. In a daze, she somehow arrived in an empty church, looked ahead, and saw a couple getting married.

The priest's voice was distant and hollow, and he didn't know what he was saying. She walked forward, but the couple turned around.

Ye Shen!

Shang Yucheng was shocked and wanted to shout, but he couldn't shout.

She turned her eyes to look at the bride's face, but saw a face she couldn't have imagined.

High position month.

The dream came to an abrupt end here, and Shang Yucheng woke up suddenly, his whole body already soaked with sweat.

She sat up and turned on the light, and the warm light illuminated the bedroom, and her pounding heart slowly calmed down. Shang Yucheng recalled Fang Cai's dream, and couldn't help but cry and laugh a little, how could he dream of Ye Shen and Gao Cangyue getting married? If you think about it day and night and dream about it, you should also dream that Ye Shen and Zhou Ping are getting married.

After calming down, he felt thirsty, Shang Yucheng stood up and poured himself a cup of hot water, sat on the edge of the bed and drank two sips. I was about to lie down again, but I heard the phone ring in the living room.

Shang Yucheng put on his clothes and got up. When she went out of the room, she saw Xianglin also get up and walk out of her room, so she asked her to go back and continue to sleep, and sat down and picked up the phone.

"Hey—"

"It's me." Ye Shen's voice.

Shang Yucheng looked up at the wall clock, which was already pointing to twelve o'clock.

"It's so late, but what's the matter?" Shang Yucheng hurriedly asked.

Ye Shen said, "There is nothing. I originally wanted to call you after I was busy with the business at hand, but it was delayed for a long time, and you were already asleep by the time it was convenient for me. ”

Shang Yucheng listened to Ye Shen explain these trivial matters to her so carefully, and there was always a feeling that the world was long-lasting, so that no matter how impetuous her heart was, she could calm down.

She leaned back on the couch and said with a smile, "You're just in time, I just woke up." ”

Ye Shen on the other side smiled and said, "Is this what kind of telepathy is this?" ”

When Shang Yucheng heard Ye Shen say this, he suddenly understood, what kind of electrocardiogram! Nine out of nine, Ye Shen was worried about herself, and arranged for secret people to guard nearby and keep an eye on the movements in her house. Only then did I get the letter and know that I had woken up.

Since Ye Shen said this, he must have known that Shang Yucheng could guess his actions and did not intend to hide it from her.

Shang Yucheng changed his comfortable posture and said calmly, "This is the second time you've sent someone to keep an eye on me—"

"Why are you stalking so much?" Ye Shen said trickly, "This should be called silent concern." ”

When Shang Yucheng heard him say this, he couldn't help but feel speechless. She rolled her eyes, as if Ye Shen was right in front of her.

"What the hell are you bothering to call me so much?" She didn't bother to argue with Ye Shen, and she knew that she couldn't argue with him, so she asked.

Ye Shen on the other side said hesitantly, "I'm just afraid that when you see me and the woman next to you, you will think about it again." But it seems that my worries are completely unfounded, and you went to bed earlier than usual. ”

Shang Yucheng listened to his complaints, and said with a smile, "Since you don't have anything, I naturally won't think much about it." After a pause, she said, "But that Miss Zhou Ping—" She frowned slightly, and did not say any more.

"What's wrong with her?" Ye Shen asked strangely.

Shang Yucheng shook his head, "Maybe I'm too careful." When I saw her today, I thought she was good, but now that I think about it, I think she is very tactful and too watertight. After a pause, he said with some curiosity, "Since Miss Zhou is a big star with a lot of money, how did you persuade her to act with you?" ”

Ye Shen said with a smile, "There was no good way in a hurry, so I had to buy Miss Zhou's Xinye Film Company." ”

"What?" Shang Yucheng couldn't help but be taken aback, "It's just to cover up the news, why do you make such a big move?" ”

Ye Shen said, "It's just what others think, I must not let Lu Jingcheng have any doubts." Therefore, the person who accompanied me in acting must be weighty and convincing. Ye Shen laughed embarrassedly, "And there have been rumors before that I pursued Zhou Ping, so it's most suitable for her to act." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly added, "It can be seen that most of today's newspapers are chasing after the wind, but when I met with friends at dinner or twice, it was written like this by those reporters." ”

Shang Yucheng was made to laugh and cry by Ye Shen's act of explaining like this, "I know, you don't have to explain anymore." With all this time, you should think about how to get this matter done. ”

Ye Shen sighed and said, "This matter really wronged you. ”

Shang Yucheng smiled, "You don't have to say this anymore, it's actually nothing." ”
