Chu Qiao's first lawsuit was quite beautiful, and after work, Ning Yusheng and other colleagues held a small celebration ceremony for Chu Qiao in a bar not far from the firm, celebrating her first victory in China, hoping that she would continue to work hard. The past is the foundation of the future.

When he came out of the bar, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and standing at the door of the bar, Chu Qiao saw Shang Fangyan standing under the street lamp across the road from a distance.

People came and went under the street lamp, and the river was endless, but Chu Qiao's gaze was fixed, and only Shang Fangyan was seen in his eyes.

Shang Fangyan saw Chu Qiao, who was standing opposite and looking at him with a slight distraction, raised his lips lightly, and raised his hand to signal Chu Qiao to stand still and not move.

Chu Qiao understood what Shang Fangyan meant, just at this time, the colleagues behind him followed out of the bar, Ning Yusheng saw Shang Fangyan opposite at a glance, couldn't help but shake his head and smile, everyone said goodbye to each other and left.

After watching everyone leave, Chu Qiao looked under the street lamp across the road, but Shang Fangyan's figure was gone.

What about people?

Just when Chu Qiao was in a hurry, her five fingers were wrapped into a warm palm. Suddenly, he turned his head sideways, and what appeared in front of Chu Qiao's eyes was that familiar face.

"You're looking for me?" Shang Fangyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Qiao, his eyebrows were deep but gentle, and his eyes were bright and translucent.

Chu Qiao lowered his head and smiled, his cheeks flushed, and his gaze swept away. "Where, where am I looking for you, I'm just looking for the handsome guy on the other side to see if he's still there."

Shang Fangyan smiled, "Is the handsome guy on the other side still there?" ”

Chu Qiao sighed regretfully, "It's a pity, I'm gone." ”

Shang Fangyan held Chu Qiao's hand and kissed it on his lips, "Madam, then let's go too." ”

Chu Qiao continued to bow his head and smile, the taste of happiness was indescribable.

It's nice to be held in the palm of your hand even when crossing the street! Giant array pool stroke.

......

Early the next morning, Chu Qiao and Shang Fangyan went to the Shang family's old mansion together, and after returning to the old mansion, Chu Qiao knew that as long as the Shang family's identity was all there, not only the second and third masters of the Shang family, but even Shang Yu, Shang Jin, Xiang Rong and Xiang Rui also flew back from abroad, it seems that the Shang family will have another big event this time.

However, the Shang family has long had family rules. Inside the male protagonist and the female protagonist, all the female relatives of the Shang family, including the old lady Shang Fang and Bai Yun, are not allowed to participate in the deliberations between the men, and Chu Qiao has no intention of knowing more things about the Shang family, so after returning to the old mansion and taking a brief look with everyone, she went back to her and Shang Fang Yan's courtyard, although everyone's attitude towards her is still not necessarily enthusiastic, but Chu Qiao can see that compared to the first time she came to the old mansion, everyone obviously respects her, and besides, she and the servants in Shang Fang Yan's courtyard also changed their words to call her "young lady" Instead of "Miss Chu Qiao".

It's just that one thing that makes Chu Qiao puzzled is that He Yashi actually appeared in the old mansion this time.

According to Shang Fangyan, He Yashi used to be his fiancée, and now that Shang Fangyan and He Yashi have canceled their marriage contract, in what capacity did He Yashi attend such an important gathering of the Shang family? Could it be that the He family and the monk family have a lot of relationship, except for the relationship between in-laws. The Shang family and the He family have other dealings.

Chu Qiao was puzzled, instead of being sad about this kind of irrelevant matter, it was better to take a good rest, just as Chu Qiao was about to take a rest on the concubine's collapse, Shang Zi pulled Shang Rui and appeared.

"Sister-in-law." Shang Zi's feet have fully recovered, so the whole person is young again. Energetic.

Shang Rui walked in after Shang Zi, and when she heard Shang Zi call Chu Qiao's sister-in-law so unscrupulously, she glanced at Shang Zi, and then smiled slightly, and then called "sister-in-law".

Chu Qiao and Shang Zi are naturally very familiar, as for Shang Rui, it is the second time they have met, and there has been no direct communication, in Chu Qiao's impression, Shang Rui is not as lively and cheerful as Shang Zi, but introverted and cold, however, the girls of the Shang family are extremely beautiful, and Shang Rui is no exception.

Chu Qiao smiled and promised Shang Zi and Shang Rui, sat down with them, and after the servants served tea and snacks, they all retreated to the door, Shang Zi looked at Chu Qiao with a pair of clear and beautiful eyes, and saw that Chu Qiao was uncomfortable.

"What, I have flowers on my face?" Chu Qiao quipped.

Shang Zi casually took a piece of horseshoe cake and stuffed it into his mouth, sighed long while chewing, and then said with a jealous expression, "Sister-in-law, your complexion is getting better and better, you see that you are beautiful like this without makeup, how can you let our sisters live." ”

Chu Qiao lowered his head and smiled, his face turned a little red.

Shang Rui also took a closer look at Chu Qiao, and found that she really didn't wear makeup, "Yes, sister-in-law, teach me your maintenance secrets." ”

Chu Qiao took a sip of the teacup and looked up at Shang Zi and Shang Rui.

In fact, she was going to put on makeup in the morning, but Shang Fangyan said that she didn't need to, she was afraid that Shang Fangyan would be in a hurry, so she didn't make up.

"There really isn't any maintenance secret, it should be the reason why the color of today's cheongsam is very skin-friendly."

"Well, if you don't say it, we know it." As he spoke, Shang Zi raised his eyebrows at Shang Rui, "Sister Ah Rui, you said yes." ”

Shang Rui tugged at the corners of her mouth gently, "Yes, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are so affectionate, I really envy the dead." ”

Chu Qiao just lowered his head and sipped tea and smiled, not saying much.

"Sister Arui, you don't have to be envious, you will soon be spoiled, loved and loved, and I am the only one who is still alone." Shang Zi sighed to herself and said with pity.

Shang Rui glanced at Shang Zi, "How old are you, why are you in a hurry?" ”

Chu Qiao looked at Shang Rui, she is the eldest daughter of the second master of the Shang family, she is the same age as herself, she is twenty or seven, of course it is best to marry at this age.

"Is Rui getting married?" Chu Qiao asked a little curiously, because she really hadn't heard anyone mention Shang Rui's marriage.

"That's right, today I will gather all the clansmen of the Shang family back, in addition to announcing that the eldest brother has officially begun to take over the Shang family, the other thing is the marriage of Sister Ah Rui and the second brother." Shang Zi didn't hide it, picked up the matti cake on the coffee table and stuffed it.

"Is Ayu getting married too?" Chu Qiao was really surprised by this, because Shang Fangyan had mentioned Shang Yu to her during this time, but she had never heard Shang Fangyan talk about Shang Yu's marriage.

"That's right, the second brother suddenly said that he was going to get married, and the object of marriage was Sister Yashi." Shang Zi was also puzzled, and as she spoke, she looked at Shang Rui, who was drinking tea with her head down, "However, the second brother is not as lucky as Sister A Rui." ”

Shang Rui glanced at Shang Zi, shook his head and said, "My marriage was decided early in the morning, but now it has only been put on the agenda, Ah Yu is so abrupt, and the marriage partner is still Yashi, of course it can't be compared." ”

Shang Yu wants to marry He Yashi?!

Chu Qiao's eyebrows frowned slightly, she didn't quite understand, didn't He Yashi just break off the marriage contract with Shang Fangyan, why did she marry Shang Yu again soon?

However, there may be such a thing as feelings, maybe He Yashi and Shang Yu have long loved each other.

"Didn't grandmother and mother agree?" Chu Qiao knew that the marriage of the Shang family's children had to go through the old lady and Bai Yun, and if the old lady and Bai Yun objected, things would naturally be difficult to handle.

Of course, Shang Fangyan is an exception, and she is also an exception.

"Nope." Shang Zi shook his head, pursed his lips and said, "Actually, I think Sister Yashi is very good, and my grandmother and mother like her so much, since she is no longer the fiancée of the eldest brother, why not let the second brother be with her." ”

"Ah Zi, grandmother and eldest aunt naturally have their considerations, so don't worry about it." Shang Rui looked at Chu Qiao, she vaguely understood in her heart why the old lady and Bai Yun would disagree with Shang Yu and He Yashi's marriage, but she could never say it, after all, she was not Shang Zi, who was cared for by Shang Fangyan and the clansmen since she was a child, and she never knew the unfathomable truth of people's hearts.

Chu Qiao smiled, and didn't ask any more questions, maybe just like Shang Rui said, the old lady and Bai Yun had their own considerations, and besides, it was not her turn to think about things.

......

Shang Zi and Shang Rui sat until Shang Fangyan came back before leaving, and when they left, Chu Qiao originally wanted to leave the two sisters to have lunch together in her and Shang Fangyan's courtyard, but the two of them refused because they wanted to go back to accompany the old lady.

Chu Qiao knew that it was rare for the younger generations of the Shang family to gather around the old lady, and if they had time, they naturally had to accompany the old lady to fulfill their filial piety, like Shang Fangxu, who had been with the old lady, and she hadn't seen him for half a day since she returned to the old house, so she must have eaten lunch at the old lady's place.

"Would you like to go to lunch with your grandmother too?" Chu Qiao helped Shang Fangyan take off his suit jacket and hang it on the rosewood wood not far away, then looked back at him and asked.

Shang Fangyan didn't answer, just wrapped his arms around Chu Qiao from behind, buried his head in her neck socket, closed his eyes, and took a quiet nap.

Chu Qiao felt the warm breath of Shang Fangyan spraying on her neck and side of her face, and couldn't help but tremble slightly, and her whole body was numb.

Obviously, they have embraced each other countless times, but each time it will make her throb and feel different.

This is Shang Fangyan, as long as he wants, he can plant himself little by little into your bone marrow, implant it into your blood body, and become a part of your life that you will never be willing to cut off, or... All.

Raising his hand, Chu Qiao gently caressed Shang Fangyan's side face, and she saw that his deep eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his eyebrows were dyed with exhaustion.

Shang Zi said that the main thing for the Shang family to get together today is to announce that Shang Fangyan has officially taken over the Shang family, she doesn't know why Shang Fangyan wants to take over the Shang family at this time, but her intuition tells her that the reason why Shang Fangyan took over the Shang family at this time must have something to do with her, otherwise, the servants would not all call her "Young Lady" today.

It's just that his frowning eyebrows and tiredness on his face at this time make her feel distressed, the first heir of the Shang family takes over the Shang family, it sounds easy, but it is probably not easy to want the second master of the Shang family, who has been in power for more than ten years, to hand over the power and wealth in his hands.

"Shang Fangyan..."

"Chu Qiao, don't move, let me hold for a while." With Chu Qiao's gentle harbor, no matter how hard and tired he is, no matter how much pressure he has, he can bear it.

Chu Qiao's eyebrows couldn't help frowning, as if he had been pricked by a needle in his heart, the feeling was warm and painful, indescribable.

One hand caressed Shang Fangyan's side face, and the other hand held Shang Fangyan's hand around his waist, Chu Qiao stood quietly like this, even breathing lightly, for fear of frightening Shang Fangyan, but her face became more and more close to Shang Fangyan's face, wanting to give Shang Fangyan everything she could give at this time.
