Chapter 098: Empty Heart
Shen Chi picked up the necklace and walked over and put the sapphire necklace around her neck. , the latest chapter access: Π¨Π¨Π¨.79xs.Π‘ΠΎΠ .
Under the illumination of the light, the neck of Bai Man set off by this sapphire became more and more white and slender, and it was very moving. She took out the mirror and looked at it, full of joy.
Today, she was angry with Shen Chi and almost threw away this chain. Now that I think about it, it's good that I didn't lose it.
It's because she thinks too much about herself, and Shen Chi has never changed to her.
She lowered her head, played with the sapphire necklace around her neck, 'touched' and 'touched', and liked it more and more. She is like a little 'girl' child who has fallen into her first love, with countless shames.
But Shen Chi has always been like that, without any expression. After helping Bai Man put on the necklace, he walked back to his place and picked up the red wine on the table.
"Thank you...... Can you stay with me tonight? Bai Man raised his head, his eyes full of expectations.
She also mustered up the courage to say this, before, she had hinted at him openly and secretly, but he used various reasons to refuse.
He is a man, more conservative than she is a 'woman'.
"I'm a little tired today." Shen Chi faintly refused.
Bai Man didn't dare to force it anymore, after all, it was her fault who provoked him first. So, she has to know how to advance and retreat.
"Then you have to drink with me tonight, drink a little more, and it's better not to get drunk." Bai Man smiled.
"Hmm." Shen Chi answered from his throat.
The Shen family, after Shen Chi left, Steward Ling began to cook shrimp and egg dumpling soup for Xu Chaowan in the kitchen.
It's a 'spring' day, and it's hard to find fresh shrimp, but Steward Ling has been looking for a long time to find it.
She had been thinking about a serious issue when she was cooking in the kitchen, in the past, she, like everyone in the Shen family, was lukewarm to Xu Chaodui.
Now, isn't it time for her to learn to take sides?
Is it on the side of Si Shao, or on the side of Mrs. Liu?
Her answer is actually not in doubt, she must stand on the side of Si Shao, only Si Shao is the future master of the Shen family.
Si Shao's 'sexual' personality is really both the introverted of the old man and the arrogance of Mrs. Zhou, although she is too indifferent to others, she knows that Si Shao's heart is not cold.
When she made a table of dinner, she went to knock on Xu Chaodu's 'door'.
Xu Chaodui has been writing homework since Shen Chi left. Because she reflected for an afternoon, she still felt that she had to study hard. So that there will be a chance to turn around in the future......
For example, when she studies well, then she can earn a lot of money, and then she buys out the Shen Group, and then makes Shen Chi homeless, and then asks him to beg her, and then ...... Wrap him up!
Thinking about it, it was all about supporting Shen Chi.
No, this man has such a bad temper, she doesn't want it!
When she has money, she can go and raise a bunch of small fresh 'meat', why do she need Shen Chi, an old man.
Just as she was dreaming and doing her homework, Steward Ling knocked on the 'door'.
"Miss Xu, are you there? It's time to come down for dinner. β
"Oh, here we are." She had to interrupt her dream once more.
"Miss Xu, you go to dinner, I'll help you clean up the house." Steward Ling smiled.
"Just me?" Xu Chaodui saw that there was a large table of dishes downstairs, but there was no one in the entire large living room.
"Yes, Miss Xu. But Si Shao asked me to make you your favorite shrimp egg dumpling soup, you can go and taste it! β
"Oh." Xu Chaodui suddenly felt a little 'fine', and his heart felt empty.
She sat at the table alone, obviously her favorite dish, but it tasted tasteless.
She slowly ate the rice one bite at a time, chewing slowly. Shrimp and egg dumplings, she moved her chopsticks and didn't touch them again.
The long table, full of dishes, steaming and fragrant, but she felt very uncomfortable.
Just as she had eaten a few bites of rice, suddenly, the 'door' of the living room was slammed open.
Xu Chaowan was taken aback, because this way of opening the 'door' was only Shen Chi dared. But she didn't expect that when she raised her head, it was Uncle Shen Shen Cexian.
Because of his health, Shen Cexian rarely returns to the Shen family, and often lives in the summer resort in City C.
"Uncle Shen." Xu Chaowan shouted timidly and quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks.
She can not be afraid of Shen Chi, not afraid of Liu Rumei, but she doesn't dare not be afraid of Shen Cexian, and ...... Perichrome.
Between Shen Cexian and Zhou Ran, she always felt that there was a deep secret, and this secret involved her mother Xu Mengxi.
Shen Ce first ignored Xu Chaodui, looking unhappy. He stood there with a cold face and pointed at her with his finger: "You come with me!" β
Xu Chaowan didn't dare to say anything, Shen Cexian was her elder after all. Although in the past eight years, Shen Cexian has been lukewarm to her, and the words he has said add up to only a handful.
She followed in unison, bowing her head and not daring to make a sound.
Shen Ce walked all the way to the Shen family's small study before he stopped and sat on a chair.
"Ahem...... cough cough only a few steps, Shen Ce coughed non-stop and panted first.
After resting for a while, it was not uncomfortable.
"Uncle Shen, I'll go pour you a cup of tea!" Xu Chaodui said timidly.
"No!" Shen Cexian refused almost without thinking about it, and his tone was extremely cold.
Xu Chaodui was startled, didn't dare to move, and stood in front of him.
Shen Ce raised his head first, his eyes looking straight at her, and there was warning, unkindness, and rejection in his eyes.
Xu Chaowan didn't dare to meet his eyes, so he had to lower his head.
What was he going to tell her?
This was the first time in the past eight years that Shen Cexian had asked her to come out and talk alone.
The air seemed to freeze, and there was a swishing coldness. It was so quiet that you couldn't hear anything. Quietly, Xu Chaodui could even hear his own heartbeat.
"Xu Chaodui, how many years has the Shen family adopted you?" Shen Cexian finally spoke and said slowly.
Xu Chaodui's heart trembled slightly, this question was also mentioned by Zhou Ran.
"It's been eight years." Xu Chaodui replied truthfully.
"Then how does the Shen family treat you?"
"'Pretty good.' Xu Chaowan said lightly, and there was no emotion in his voice.
"Then have you always regarded yourself as the eldest lady of the Shen family?" There was obviously a lot of impatience in Shen Cexian's tone.
"No, my surname is Xu."
She has never regarded herself as the eldest lady, even after living in the Shen family for eight years, she knows that no one in the Shen family regards her as a family.
Her identity is a little better than that of a servant, that's all.
"You still know your last name." Shen Ce snorted coldly, "Then what you did today, isn't it too presumptuous?" β
It turned out that it was because of today's incident, Xu Chaowan understood, and it was estimated that Liu Rumei and Shen Yanrou called to complain.
"I didn't do anything wrong." Xu Chaowan still said lightly.
"I think you're stubborn! Ahem...... cough cough ......" Shen Ce was very annoyed first, and as soon as he 'excited', he couldn't help coughing, and even breathing was a little difficult.
