Zhou Shen had a casual dinner in the office, and at six o'clock he had a temporary conference call with the Hong Kong branch, forgetting the time for a while, and it was close to half past seven when the meeting ended.

Fang Qin heard that there was no speech in the office, so he knocked lightly on the door a few times.

"Mr. Zhou, is your meeting over? Mr. Shen has arrived. ”

Zhou Shen remembered that he had made an appointment with Shen Yuelin in the evening, and he quickly got up from his chair and walked out.

"What about people? When did it come? ”

"I've been here for a while, and I've arranged for him to wait for you in the reception room." Fang Qin explained.

Zhou Shen was a little displeased: "Why didn't you report it earlier?" ”

"He stopped him and said he didn't want to disturb your work."

Since Zhou Shen said this, he couldn't say more, walked with long legs, and arrived at the reception room in a few steps.

Shen Yuelin had already guessed that Zhou Shen was coming when he heard the steady footsteps at the door, and immediately got up from his chair.

Zhou Shen didn't like that he was not punctual, which made him feel very rude.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." When he entered the door, he took the initiative to go over and shake hands with Shen Yuelin, Shen Yuelin didn't expect that he would be treated so warmly, and the whole person floated a little.

"Where, Mr. Zhou, you are busy, I am worried that I will disturb you if I come here so rashly." Shen Yuelin was more attentive, and Zhou Shen could only laugh with him, but he didn't really like such politeness in his heart.

Shen Yuelin saw that he was a little cold, and immediately took a red wooden box on the table and put it in front of Zhou Shen.

"Mr. Zhou, what happened last night made you laugh, the family is unfortunate, a good engagement banquet was made like this, this is the gift you asked Fang Qin to give before, I will send it to you now, and I will take the opportunity to compensate you in person."

Shen Yuelin's attitude has always been very sincere, but it just made Zhou Shen feel that he was making a little fuss, and even he wanted to ask the guests who attended the engagement banquet yesterday if Shen Yuelin would come to the door one by one to return the gift.

The two sat in the reception room for a while, and Shen Yuelin drank half a cup of tea and sighed vigorously.

Zhou Shen could see that his face was very bad, and his eyes were gray and blue, and it was estimated that he didn't sleep all night last night, it should be for Shen Che and He Huan's business.

Zhou Shen is not a person who likes gossip, but this time he couldn't bear it.

"I don't know if Young Master Shen has come back."

"Hey... Mr. Zhou is not an outsider, so it's okay to tell you about this kind of ugly thing. Shen Yuelin sighed again, his tired eyes showing a little hatred, "I didn't come back last night, but I came back at dawn, but I didn't let that girl in." Our Ah Che has been doing things very well since he was a child, and this time he did such a big rebellious thing, it must be that girl who instigated it behind her back... So it comes out of a poor place... Ay... Forget it, blame me for being lost in the middle of the day..."

Shen Yuelin wanted to speak and stopped, but Zhou Shen heard the meaning, the Shen family wanted to push all the responsibility on He Huan.

"What does the Chi family mean?"

"Chi family..."Shen Yuelin heard the word "Chi family", and the "hatred" on his face turned into "sorrow", "This time it is our Shen family who is sorry for the Chi family anyway, and now I have to give an explanation to Ah Che, otherwise..." Shen Yuelin stopped talking, his head hung to the side, and he looked very depressed.

Zhou Shen roughly guessed.

The cooperation between Shen Chi and Chi has long been heard, and once Shen Che and Chi Shanshan get married, the contract will be activated, so this is really an out-and-out "business marriage", but now it is like this, it seems that Chi Zhengxiong will not give up.

Zhou Shen sent Shen Yuelin out and returned to his office again.

The piano song in the stereo was still playing on a loop, and he suddenly remembered He Huan again, she became the target of public criticism this time, maybe in the eyes of everyone, she was the one who instigated and hooked up, but Zhou Shen believed that she was not.

"Mr. Zhou, is Mr. Shen gone?" Fang Qin came in with the red lacquer box.

Zhou Shen nodded and glanced at the box.

"What gift did you give to the Shen family?"

"Originally, I wanted to buy a gold jewelry according to the general rules, but the old man said that he was very upset about Miss Shen and you before, so let me back up the key gifts..."

Miss Shen again, Zhou Shen didn't want to answer again.

After Fang Qin left, he opened the red lacquered wooden box, and there was a red coral carving Maitreya pendant lying inside, this is a thing in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, at least six figures larger, no wonder Shen Yuelin wanted to send it back in person.

Chi Rongjie accompanied Chi Shanshan to Xiuzhong Pavilion, but he didn't go in and sat in the car and smoked.

At about 10 o'clock, Chi Shanshan came out of it, and Chi Rongjie held an umbrella to pick her up at the door.

On the way back, Chi Shanshan kept pursing her red lips and didn't speak, Chi Rongjie was panicked and asked, "Sister, what did you both say?" ”

"Didn't say anything!"

"No, she and Shen Che openly eloped at the engagement banquet, you should at least humiliate her."

"Humiliation?" Chi Shanshan actually smiled, and turned to look at Chi Rongjie who was driving, "Are you willing to humiliate her?" Weren't you chasing her before? ”

"Yes, yes, I admit that she is quite to my taste, but sister, you will always be the most important woman in my heart!"

"Go, don't pat me on the back!" Chi Shanshan spat a mouthful, the previous thought flashed in her mind again, sank for a moment, and tried to ask, "Are you still chasing her?" ”

"I can't catch up, you see that she returned all the things I sent, and I thought she was so clean, it's not easy to find a chick this year, but after chasing for a long time, she actually had a leg with Shen Che, tsk..."

Chi Shanshan asked with a smile: "You chased her because you thought she was clean?" Then I'll tell you now, nothing happened between her and Shen Che, and you still chase her? ”

"Really? Does that mean she's still a deal? ”

"Hmm!"

"Isn't it, Shen Che didn't move her?" Chi Rongjie felt incredible, and then asked Chi Shanshan with a smile, "Sister, is there something wrong with Shen Che?" Do you have anything to do with him... Well? ”

"you!" Chi Shanshan pushed him, and Chi Rongjie, who was holding the steering wheel, smiled more and more frivolously, "Haha... It's normal to have, it's not normal to have not, after all, you've been dating for a year. ”

yes, they've been dating for a year.

Chi Shanshan turned her face to look out the window, no matter how unwilling she was to admit it, she also clearly knew that Shen Che didn't love her, and the only intimate action between them was the hug at the engagement banquet yesterday.

But he is obviously not such a cold person, he will kiss He Huan, smile at her and be angry with her, that is what he really looks like in love, and when he is with her Chi Shanshan, no matter how gentle and considerate he is, he is acting.

"Rong Jie..."

"Huh?"

"Do you really want to catch up with Shen Hehuan?"

"Huh?" Chi Rongjie was a little confused, "I want to think about it, but this woman is difficult to coax." ”

"If you can't coax her, then you can just marry her."

"What?" Chi Rongjie looked stunned, "Sister, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Literally." The corners of her mouth were slightly hooked into a smile, and a little ruthlessness appeared on her beautiful face, "If you can't catch up, just marry her back, and I will tell my dad for you..."

……

Zhou Shen saw that the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, so he packed up his computer and prepared to go back from work.

The driver was driving the car, and his vision outside the window was a little blurred by the rain, and he buried his head in the back seat to look at the compensation list of Tsing Yi Lane, and just happened to encounter a red light, and the car stopped at the intersection.

Zhou Shen raised his eyes and looked out the window, there were very few pedestrians on the road, so He Huan's figure looked particularly eye-catching in the rain and fog illuminated by the street lights.

Zhou Shen's fingers holding the document suddenly tightened.

Why didn't she have an umbrella in such a heavy rain!

Just at that time, the red light turned green, and the driver hit the turn signal to turn, but Zhou Shen suddenly roared: "Stop!" ”

The driver was a little confused: "Mr. Zhou, this is a crossroads!" ”

"I know, park!" He barely had time to think about it, and the driver rarely saw Zhou Shen's momentum so fierce, and immediately pulled over to the side of the road.

Zhou Shen took the umbrella and got out of the car, crossed the road, and went straight behind He Huan.

He Huan walked straight forward, she didn't seem to notice that there was someone behind her, and there was an extra umbrella above her head, she was completely immersed in her own world, thinking about Chi Shanshan's expression, Chi Shanshan's words, creepy.

It wasn't until Zhou Shen accompanied her to a junction that she stopped suddenly, as if she was about to turn, she remembered that there was a bus back to Tsing Yi Lane nearby, but her footsteps were certain, and she found that there were two shadows under her feet.

Turning around suddenly, Zhou Shen stood behind her with a big black umbrella, all of which were propped up above her head, and his coat was already wet.

"Where do you want to go?" Without any foreshadowing, he just asked directly, as if he had been following her, as if he had been by her side, waiting for her to turn back, and then he would ask again.

He Huan later recalled that the scene at that time seemed to be in a dream.

The street was deserted, and on a rainy night in winter, she originally thought that the whole world had abandoned her, but when she turned around, he actually followed her and held an umbrella for her...

No, it's not just an umbrella.

In the near future, the man in front of her will hold up a piece of heaven for her.

He Huan finally followed Zhou Shen into the car.

Both of them were wet, especially He Huan, she had been walking in the rain for a long time, and originally wanted to find a bus stop to go back to Tsing Yi Lane, but in the end, she was messed up, and now her hair was wet and dripping with water, and her face was even colder.

Zhou Shen's car was heated.

At that time, it was already December, the temperature in Yecheng plummeted, and it rained again, He Huan only knew how cold it was outside after getting in the car, and he couldn't help but shiver.

The driver didn't dare to speak or ask.

Zhou Shen took a tissue and handed it to He Huan, asked her to wipe her hair slightly, and took off her half-wet coat again.

Half a salary, he asked, "Where are you going now?" This is not your way back to school! ”

He Huan's eyes moved.

"I want to go home!"

Zhou Shen thought that she was going back to Shen's house, so she reported the address of Shen's house without authorization and asked the driver to drive, but He Huan suddenly spoke, and his emotions were a little intense: "No, I don't go there, that's not my home." ”

It wasn't her home, it never was.

Zhou Shen was a little messed up by her.

"And where do you want to go?" God knows how soft Zhou Shen's tone is, as if He Huan in front of him will disappear if he is a little heavier.

She shook her head, and didn't know where she had gone.

originally planned to go back to Tsing Yi Lane, but now that she is going back like this, He Hai must ask what happened, she doesn't want to explain, and she doesn't know how to explain.

Zhou Shen suddenly remembered what Shen Yuelin said to him just now, it seemed that He Huan had already returned to Shen's house in the morning, and he stopped him at the door, so He Huan had nowhere to go at present.

"If you don't want to go back to school, I'll take you somewhere?"
