Chapter 51: Eavesdropping
He closed his eyes, his brow still furrowed, and his lips trembled slightly. I leaned over to him, kissed him softly on the neck, on the black line around his neck: "We are together, what a horrible thing, we are all together." ”
I know that what Ren Qiancang said about fear is different from what I said. My fear is visual, but his fear is deep in his heart. He is more afraid than I am, and he has to face his death with a strong heart. Judging by the way he looked, he probably hadn't said these words to anyone, but in this small building, beside me, he was like an ordinary person, and he bluntly spoke about his fears. Xiao Lou is like his protective shell, here, he will not be harmed, and his heart is not guarded against me.
My closeness to him made him move out a little. I reached over and grabbed one of his arms, "Just lean in." We used to be together every day, and we didn't have a fever, so it's okay to just hug us like this. ”
He acquiesced, didn't move, just let me hold and lean. I don't even know when I fell asleep -
At noon, when the sun was shining, I went to the small shop where Lele and I were again. Because of the fever, I haven't come to the store for three whole days, and Lele has been busy alone for these three days. I couldn't help it.
I came over today and didn't tell Ren Qiancang. He went out early in the morning.
Lele was also very happy to see me, asked me about my hospitalization, and said, "You can rest for two more days, and you can come back on the weekend." Anyway, there are not many customers on weekdays, so one person can handle it. Friday night, and two more days and weekends, are crowded, so you can come over again and the two of us can just look at the store together. ”
"I'm idle at home alone anyway." I said.
"What about your husband? Did you take wedding photos? Decide when to set up a wine feast? You're sick, and he's not at home for a few days. Isn't he a tyrant? There shouldn't be much to do. ”
She asked one question after another, and I didn't know how to answer them. Our wedding reception or anything was nothing at all. Maybe it's just a matter of life. As for where he went, I didn't call him, I guess I went with Ye Yan to find Zuo Qiaoting. Zuo Qiaoting can teach him a lot, but I can only cause him trouble.
I felt uncomfortable because of this, but I still smiled slightly: "He's busy." It's okay, so be it, I'll bring you lunch. ”
Lele nodded, and didn't take my frown to heart.
On the pedestrian street, there is a relatively cheap fast food, which is the one I last met Lele. It's a seven- or eight-minute walk from our shop. I just walked over slowly, and I never thought that I would see Ye Cheng at noon on such a working day, or at noon when the sun was so big.
Ye Cheng uncharacteristically did not wear a suit, but wore a simple T-shirt and slacks like when he was in college, and even the pair of cricket shoes on his feet were still the same as in college.
Sitting under the parasol of an open-air bubble tea shop on the side of the road, drinking milk tea. There was no one around him. To my surprise, he doesn't look like this kind of person who would come here alone to drink milk tea. Not to mention whether he was accompanied or not, at least on such a weekday, he should not be here.
When I saw him, I was shocked, and I wanted to go around, but with the last glance of my eyes, I saw the Taoist priest. Although he was not wearing a Taoist robe like he had in front of my small building, nor did he wear Chinese clothes like I had seen him at Ren's house, but a gray shirt and gray pants. Even if the clothes have changed, I still remember this person on purpose.
The Taoist priest sat next to Ye Cheng, not knowing what he was talking about. I hesitated, went around to the bubble tea shop, and didn't speak, just pointed to the milk tea on the menu, and smiled at the milk tea girl inside.
In this way, he could not attract the attention of Ye Cheng is behind him, and he could listen to what they were saying. If I was discovered, I could still use the excuse of buying milk tea as not paying attention to them.
Ye Cheng and Wu Guang spoke very softly, and I could only hear a rough idea.
"The Ren family has begun to hesitate now...... Move away, after all, their family is blood...... When a person dies, what does it matter to the Hereafter? …… Let's use coercion, we don't have time to ......"
"Give me some time, I have a way...... At least let her go for an hour or two won't be a problem. Master......"
"The Ren family can't keep ......"
"In a month, I ......"
The milk tea girl in front of me had already sent the milk tea over, and I pointed to the milkshake on the menu, which made the milk tea girl glance at me, and whispered angrily: "I didn't talk about it together just now." ”
I smiled sheepishly at her. For a moment of distraction, I didn't notice that Wu Guang had already left. And Ye Cheng had already stood up.
I turned my head slightly and skimmed my gaze that way. But before I could see the table over there, I saw the dark gray slacks behind me. As soon as I turned around in shock, Ye Cheng put his hands on the counter behind me, circled me behind him and the counter, and said, "How much do you hear?" ”
I immediately pretended to be confused: "Huh? What the? Why are you here? You...... Isn't it supposed to be at work? I changed my stern voice and said, "What do you mean by this action now?" Get out of the way! ”
He raised his head, exhaled upwards, and then turned back, as if suppressing something, and said, "Merchant, don't pretend, how much have you heard?" ”
"Hear what?"
At this time, the milk tea girl in the back handed out the milkshake: "It turns out that you can speak, then I didn't say a word just now, I thought you were dumb." Twelve pieces. ”
I quickly turned around, gave the money, took the milk tea shake, and said, "Me and Lele." I'll go back to the store first, Lele is still waiting. ”
I pushed his hand in front of me, but I couldn't push it, looked at him and said, "Ye Cheng! Get out of the way! ”
"How much do you hear?"
"Listen to what? Inexplicable. ”
"Shangshang, believe it or not, I have been preventing my master from attacking Ren Qiancang. I know you must have misunderstood me now to have this attitude towards me. But I've really always helped you and Ren Qiancang. Think about it, with the Ren family's status in our city, is it a problem to get your small building? Their family can find an excuse to get Ren Qiancang. I'm following my master and the Ren family, is it easy for me? Who do I tell about my hard work? He let go of his hand, "Let's go, no matter what you think of me, I will help you and Ren Qiancang delay time." In a month, that's all I could do. You'd better hurry up and figure it out. ”
After he said these words, he put down his hand, and I quickly left here, took the milk tea and ran towards the store. Until he ran to the store, put down the milk tea, and gasped for breath.
Lele looked at me and asked suspiciously, "Shangshang, what are you doing?" Didn't you say to go buy fast food? Why are there only two cups of milk tea? ”
"Huh? This one...... I ......"
"Why am I running?" I adjusted it for a moment before I said, "I want to buy milk tea and buy fast food." As a result, after buying milk tea, I saw a pervert who was exposed at that intersection. I was so scared that I forgot to buy fast food and ran back. ”
Lele was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "This kind of thing should be dealt with soon." What are you running? He didn't hold you. ”
"Hehe, you drink it first, and I'll buy it later."
Lele still wanted to say something, I had already walked out of the store with milk tea. Walking out of the store, I sucked on the cold milk tea and slowly walked towards the fast food restaurant. I'm sure Ye Cheng has left here, but I'm still walking slowly. I need time to digest what he said.
The meaning of his words was obvious. He didn't hide my relationship with the Ren family, and he was not wrong, if the Ren family used strong means, we wouldn't have the ability to resist at all. Now that Ren Qiancang has left the small building, if he is found by Wu Guang, he will be in danger.
