354 And he returned, and stopped at the door
Shen Che took He Huan back to the city.
The rain was still falling on the road, Shen Che proposed to send her back to school first, but she turned on her mobile phone, and dozens of missed call SMS reminders flocked to it, and the most number was from Jiang Xiuyu's mobile phone.
"No need, I'll go back with you!"
Shen Che didn't agree, but his eyes finally softened a little: "What are you going to do when you go back?" Shall they not eat you? β
He Huan just smiled: "You have to face it." β
She was not as fragile as she looked on the outside, Shen Che had known this for a long time, and he also knew that she was actually quite stubborn, so he only sighed and took He Huan back to Shen's house with him.
When I got to the door, the sky was already a little bright, but because of the rain, the sky was still blue.
Shen Che drove the car directly to the door of the main building, thinking that they would be greeted by an interrogation by a large family, but only Chen's mother was standing at the door of the hall, holding an umbrella, glanced at He Huan who was following behind Shen Che, and said, "Young Master, the master just went back to the room to rest." β
This is also expected, this kind of thing happened at the engagement banquet, and the Shen Mansion must have been unstable all night last night.
Shen Che lowered his head and said "um", took Chen's mother's umbrella and was about to enter the door with He Huan, but Chen's mother raised her arm and stopped He Huan at the door unceremoniously.
"What are you doing?" Shen Che asked with a cold face.
"Young Master, the master has instructed, if I see you coming back, let you go to the study and wait for him, as for the second miss..."Mother Chen met He Huan's cold eyes and said with a little obscurity, "As for the second miss, the master means that don't come back for the time being." β
"Don't come back for the time being..."He Huan felt that this was really interesting, and couldn't help but laugh.
Shen Che's brows tightened a little, and he took He Huan's hand, regardless of Chen's mother.
"Come in with me!"
"Young Master!" Chen's mother was a little reluctant, "You can go in, but the second lady can't go in, this is the master's order!" Then he simply blocked his somewhat fat body directly in front of He Huan.
Shen Che still wanted to argue, but He Huan let go of his hand and only asked Chen's mother: "What about Jiang Xiuyu?" β
"Mrs., you say?" Chen's mother couldn't figure out the meaning of He Huan's words, but He Huan had a certain unclear firmness in her eyes, and Chen's mother was frightened by her light eyes, so she could only explain, "Mrs. was counted down by Miss Mingyue and the master last night, and she cried for half the night, and I helped her go to the guest room to rest at dawn." β
He Huan had roughly guessed this result.
After so many years in the Shen family, Jiang Xiuyu has always had only two ways to deal with grievances, either crying or forbearance, this time it is forbearance and crying together, presumably what the Shen family said to her is extremely difficult to hear.
"Brother, I won't go in, there are still classes in the morning." He Huan's tone is still mediocre.
Shen Che knew that going back to the Shen family in this situation would only make things more complicated, so he nodded and wanted to send her back to school, but He Huan refused.
"I'll take a taxi back by myself, you can go in."
Shen Che thought about it for a while, didn't insist anymore, just handed her the umbrella: "Go back, it's raining a lot outside, I'll contact you when the situation on my side is dealt with." β
She took the umbrella, but her eyes stayed on Chen's mother's face, as if she had something very important to say, but in the end she only said a word slightly.
"Take care of my wife, thank you!"
He Huan threw a sentence to Chen's mother, and walked into the rain with an umbrella like that, and the mint green back quickly disappeared in the rain and fog.
It is said that Shen Che and Shen Yuelin stayed in the study for more than three hours that day, and finally Shen Yuelin walked out of the room first.
When Shen Mingyue entered, Shen Che was still sitting on a chair in the study, and the ashtray in front of him was full of cigarette butts.
"Brother, what did Dad say? How to solve the matter with the Chi family? β
"Get out!"
"It's useless for you to chase me, I always thought you were sensible and smart, why did you do such a foolish thing this time? It must be He Huan's little slut hooking up with you, right? You go and explain it to Sister Shanshan, with a better attitude, she should listen! Shen Mingyue still persevered.
Shen Che snuffed out half of the cigarette in his hand again and raised his head.
"Get out!" scolded in a louder voice, causing Shen Mingyue to shrink back in fright, and only then did she see Shen Che's expression clearly.
In one night, he spent all his courage and overdrawn his energy, at this time, Shen Che's eyes were bloodshot, his face was tired, but he was still wearing the dress of yesterday's engagement banquet, a black handmade suit, drenched in the rain and dried, and his hem was folded together wrinkled.
This is no longer the high-spirited Shen family, and Shen Mingyue is not worth it for him.
"Brother......
"Don't you understand when you go out?" His voice softened again, and he no longer looked at Shen Mingyue, but supported his hands on his forehead on the table, the only sharp energy he had just now was roared, and now all he was left with was a choice.
Or not even a choice, because there is simply no second option.
He Huan actually lied that day, she didn't have classes in the morning, she returned to the dormitory and barely slept for a while, and suddenly received a call from Jiang Xiuyu near noon.
"Huanhuanβ" she called her name on the other end, but her voice was extremely hoarse and suppressed.
He Huan remembered that when she was a child, she liked to listen to Jiang Xiuyu speak the most, she played the role of Tsing Yi in the troupe, and she had a good voice, but since she married Shen Yuelin, she has never been on stage, for fear that others will say that the Shen family has found an actor.
Now that more than ten years have passed, He Huan doubts whether she can still sing, and her throat is already dumb.
After adjusting his breathing, He Huan spoke: "You say." β
She was waiting for Jiang Xiuyu to blame, but the other party snorted lightly: "I heard that you came back with Ah Che in the morning, silly boy, what are you doing when you come back with this kind of knot?" Your uncle and Mingyue both think that video was put on the wedding banquet by you and hate you so much, and now the Chi family is teasing cruelly, if Ah Che can't give an explanation within three days, it is estimated that the entire Shen family will suffer......"
β¦β¦
He Huan hung up Jiang Xiuyu's phone and got out of bed with his clothes on.
The rain hadn't stopped, just a little lighter, ticking and hanging on the iron railing of the dorm balcony.
She knew that the Chi family was forcing Shen Che, and she also knew that Shen Che couldn't come up with an explanation, and she knew what "Shen's suffering" meant.
It's just that now no one knows who arranged that VCR, and it doesn't matter, what matters is who recorded this VCR, and the purpose of the other party.
It can be seen from the content of the VCR that someone has been following He Huan and Shen Che for a long time, that is to say, the ambiguity between them has long been known, but it was only exposed at the engagement banquet, and it is clearly to force against the lifeblood of the Shen family, This is the most terrible thing that makes He Huan feel the most.
She stared at the rain outside the window for a while, and finally decided to ask Chi Shanshan to meet her.
"Hey..."He Huan directly dialed Chi Shanshan's mobile phone number.
"Who are you?" The other party was picked up by a man, and his tone was a little rushed, He Huan swallowed his voice, "It's you?" β
Chi Rongjie was stunned for a moment and heard it, but he smiled with a little disdain: "Why, the second miss is still interested in calling my sister at this time?" Is it here to demonstrate? β
It's really a gentleman, and what he says is so naΓ―ve.
He Huan was in no mood to argue with him, and said lightly: "Please give the phone to your sister." β
"My sister is asleep, you can tell me if you have something first, and I will relay it when she wakes up!" Chi Rongjie's attitude was obviously very uneven, He Huan could understand, "Okay, then please tell her, I want to meet her, at 9 o'clock in the evening in Xiuzhong Pavilion, call me when you arrive." β
He Huan hung up in a few words, Chi Rongjie listened to the beep over there, and laughed darkly, feeling that this girl was getting more and more interesting, and the more she pricked, the more interesting it became, as if those thorns were teasing her heart.
As soon as Zhou Shen entered the office in the morning, he roughly browsed the web pages and magazines, and the matter of Shen Chi's two families was indeed exposed in the newspaper, and the title was quite ugly.
Indecent love, brother and sister private affairs, incest of wealthy families, elopement, anyway, how to attract people's attention.
Looking at Shen's stock price again, it continued to fall as soon as the market opened in the morning.
The situation is not good, Zhou Shen suddenly felt a little upset and irritable, and wanted to call He Huan, but he couldn't find a position and reason.
Fang Qin just came in with a stack of materials and heard piano music flowing in Zhou Shen's office.
Fang Qin didn't know the name of this piano piece, but he was very familiar with it, because Zhou Shen would listen to it when he was not working well or was particularly irritable.
Fang Qin's mind tightened as soon as he heard this song, indicating that the boss was in a bad mood, and as a subordinate, he had to be cautious in his words and deeds.
Now it was the same way, Fang Qin gently put the document in his hand in front of him.
"Mr. Zhou, this is the demolition process of the Tsing Yi Lane project, and the other is the compensation budget list, which you need to see."
Zhou Shen raised his eyes and looked at it, but did not answer immediately.
"Let's leave it there for now."
Fang Qin breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Zhou, who are you today...?" β
"It's nothing, put it first, I'll see later." Zhou Shen kept staring at the LCD screen on the stereo in front of him as he spoke, and there were blue lights on it that jumped up and down.
Fang Qin rarely saw Zhou Shen look so distracted and as if he was powerless, and he didn't dare to ask any more, he withdrew with his head bored, and when he retreated to the door, he suddenly remembered something again, turned around and said, "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Shen of the Shen family called you in the morning, saying that he wanted to ask you for a meal, as if it was to refund the engagement you gave to the Shen family." β
Zhou Shen remembered this stubble, Shen Yuelin said that he would come to the door in person to thank him, just for a small thing to make the teacher so excited...
"There's no need for food, if the Shen family really wants to return the gift, you can just go and get it back!"
Zhou Shen answered, nodded and went out.
The piano music in the stereo just played to the climax, and Zhou Shen listened to it proudly, feeling that no matter how expensive and good this stereo was, it was not as good as the beauty of her fingertips.
"Wait!" He suddenly stopped Fang Qin.
"Mr. Zhou, do you have anything else?"
Zhou Shen thought for a while: "Forget it, let's do it tonight, I have time tonight, you let Shen Yuelin come to the company to find me." β
Fang Qin was a little confused by Zhou Shen's hesitation, he had never been like this before, not to mention that he really didn't need to really see Shen Yuelin in person in order to receive a return gift.
Shen Yuelin obviously used this incident to pull a relationship with him, but the boss's thoughts and subordinates couldn't comment on it, so they could only leave.
Chi Shanshan went to the appointment as scheduled.
He Huan stayed in a private room in advance, she still played before half past 8, and went to the dressing room to change her clothes after she finished, and when she walked into the private room, Chi Shanshan had already arrived, sitting cross-legged in front of the low table, fiddling with the plum branches inserted in the small porcelain vase on the table with one hand.
Seeing He Huan push the door in, Chi Shanshan only raised her eyes slightly, and her attitude was very calm: "Rong Jie said you want to see me?" β
He Huan was shocked by her faint expression, she didn't imagine it like this, at least Chi Shanshan in front of her should be troublesome, scolded, or even cried, anyway, it was definitely not sitting quietly like now, playing with plum branches with one hand and supporting her chin with the other, so happy.
This is too strange, He Huan is a little worried.
Chi Shanshan chuckled, retracted her fingers from the plum blossoms, and straightened the small wooden chair in front of her: "How can you talk while you are sitting?" That attitude was quite polite, so polite that He Huan panicked.
He Huan thought about it and sat down in front of her.
"Miss Chi..."He Huan straightened his voice and spoke, "I'm looking for you this time..."
"I know what you're looking for me!" Chi Shanshan interrupted her words without authorization, "You are looking for me for two things, one is to demonstrate to me and let me take the initiative to give up Che, you can live and fly with him, and the other is to apologize for the Shen family, so that I can continue to marry Che without blame, isn't it?" β
He Huan was stunned, but he was also a little relieved.
She is not a person who likes to beat around the bush, and Chi Shanshan's straightforward way of dialogue makes her very adaptable.
"Yes, you're right."
"What kind of one did you come to me for?"
"The latter."
"Just apologize for the Shen family?"
The corners of He Huan's mouth curved: "Wrong, I'm not for the Shen family, I'm just for Shen Che alone." β
"Well, you're gutsy and honest, which I don't think annoying." Chi Shanshan was still smiling, she didn't seem to be angry at all, and her fingers began to play with the plum branch again.
In fact, there are a few pitifully small flower bones on the branches, which look very fragile, and she has been playing with them so much, He Huan feels that these flower bones are probably going to die in her hands tonight.
Chi Shanshan was very interested, and she was very energetic, so that the flower bones shook on the branches, and they would peel off at any time.
He Huan couldn't bear to look at it, and forced himself to look at Chi Shanshan.
"Thank you for not hating it, I just want to tell you today that I don't know who recorded the VCR at the engagement banquet, and I don't know who did it behind it, but there is one thing I hope you understand, my brother and I are impossible, and our relationship is not as unbearable as you imagined..."
Chi Shanshan enjoyed the panic and fear in her eyes a little bit, and replied slowly: "I know, I know that there has not been an unbearable relationship between you. β
"You know...?" He Huan was a little puzzled.
Chi Shanshan retracted her hand from the plum blossom, and her faint gaze saw that He Huan's face turned yin and ruthless little by little.
"Of course I know, because the videos and photos were taken by someone I arranged, and I have been following you for a year, starting from the day I dated Che......"
