Murong Mansion.

The lights in the study were bright, and the coffee cup on the table had just been replaced with a new one, and it was still a little warm.

Murong Cheng sat at his desk, bowed his head to review the documents, and his whole person was full of energy, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

The butler stood in the doorway and watched worriedly.

Assistant Li Zhi walked over with a stack of documents.

"Assistant Li, how long will the eldest young master be busy?" The housekeeper hurriedly grabbed him and asked.

Li Jian lightly lifted the frame on his nose, "There are probably one or two hours left, usually the eldest young master is busy until about two o'clock in the morning." ”

"Busy for so long, isn't it very tiring, now that the eldest young master is home, let him rest early."

"Housekeeper, I know you're worried about the eldest young master, but we can't say it's impossible, the eldest young master has always taken his work very seriously, but don't worry, when he is done, he will go to rest."

"Hey, the old lady asked me to take good care of the eldest young master, I'm really worried when I see him so busy now, I'll cook some supper for the eldest young master now."

The butler said and hurried away.

Li Zhu pushed open the door of the study and walked in.

Murong Cheng raised his head from the document and asked calmly, "Who were you talking to just now?" ”

"It's the housekeeper, he wants you to rest early, probably because he feels sorry for you."

"The housekeeper watched me grow up, and it's normal to worry about me."

Murong Cheng changed a fountain pen and lowered his head to continue flipping through the documents.

Li Zhi stepped forward to help him tidy up his desktop.

By the time he finished his work, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.

"Young Master, you can go back and rest."

"Hmm."

Murong Cheng stood up, moved his muscles, and glanced back before leaving the study.

"Li Zhu, how long have you been following me?"

Li, who was cleaning up the table, paused slightly, looked up and replied, "It's been many years, almost seven years." ”

"I remember that you were introduced by your brother, your brother is the gold medal special assistant next to Xiao Yan, you brothers are of the same age and have outstanding abilities, and many company bosses competed for you at the beginning."

"Yes, but I volunteered to come to the Murong family, I believe that you, like Mr. Xiao, are both broad-minded and accomplished bosses."

Murong Cheng nodded, not planning to leave, turned around and walked to the coffee table and sat down.

"Then tell me, how is the matter I asked you to check?"

Li Zhu stepped forward and took out his mobile phone to call up a document to show him.

"You see, this is information about Shen Xiaoxiao, and this can only be found at present."

Murong Cheng flipped through it and saw that it was just some basic information.

She grew up in an ordinary family, and her adoptive father and adoptive mother are typical patriarchal.

She didn't have a good life since she was a child, and it wasn't until she worked as an adult that she gradually moved away from that family.

"Young master, Miss Shen is actually quite smart, she is still a very good designer, the original designer of the popular crystal love launched by the jewelry company Zhang's was Miss Shen, but later Miss Shen resigned from Zhang's."

"Why did she leave?"

"It should be this cyberbullying video." Li Zhu flipped out the previous video of Shen's mother.

After Murong Cheng read it, he probably understood.

"It turns out that her adoptive parents' face is so hateful, and she is really wronged."

"Young Master, Miss Shen is your own cousin, but if she wants to take Miss Shen back now, she must be unwilling, because Miss Xue is still with us, and one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, which is also the truth."

Murong Cheng got up and walked to the window, his hands behind his back, and his handsome face gradually appeared sad.

"I also know this, but if Wanning leaves here at this time, it will be our Murong family's unkindness."

"Then you have to mediate the relationship between the two eldest ladies."

"Knock—" There was a sudden knock on the door of the study.

Li Zhu walked over and opened the door.

"Miss Xue?"

Xue Wanning raised her head and said softly, "I'm looking for my cousin, is he resting?" ”

"Not yet, please come in."

Murong Cheng turned to look at her, "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"Cousin, I can't sleep, I have something I want to tell you."

Murong Cheng asked Li Zhu to go out first and close the door.

"Sit down."

He poured her a cup of tea, his eyes falling on her bandaged wrist.

"How's the injury on this hand?"

"It's a lot better, thank you cousin for your concern."

"Well, don't do these things that hurt yourself in the future."

Xue Wanning looked at him and stopped talking, silently picking up the teacup and taking a sip.

"Cousin, I ......"

"I'll give you time to say it when you want to."

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I met Shen Xiaoxiao's parents today."

Murong Cheng glanced at her unexpectedly, "You saw them?" ”

"Well, it was they who found the Xue family and went there to make trouble to see me, but I had no choice but to ask them out to meet me."

"What did you say?"

Xue Wanning's face was slightly sunken, and her eyebrows were slightly aggrieved, "It's nothing, they took a sum of money from me, and I don't know where they knew about me, so they came to me and asked me for money, and I was embarrassed not to give it." ”

"How much was given?"

"Seven million."

Murong Cheng had a calm face, "I also learned just now that Shen Xiaoxiao is not a good person to his adoptive parents, I didn't expect them to find you so quickly and threaten you." ”

"Cousin, to be honest, I was quite scared at that time, you said that if I go back to such a family in the future, then I will not be bullied very badly."

Xue Wanning said, silently wiped her tears, and turned her head, "Forget it, don't talk about this, who made my life miserable, my biological parents turned out to be such people." ”

"Okay, don't think about it, just live here in peace, if they come to you again, you tell me."

"Okay."

"Go back and rest."

Xue Wanning got up and left.

After walking out of the study, she straightened up, raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, and there was a cruelty in her eyes.

When she passed the old lady's room, she subconsciously stopped.

The maid who took care of the old lady just opened the door and came out.

"Miss, you haven't rested yet?"

"Is Grandma asleep?"

"Just went to sleep."

"I'll go in and have a look."

Xue Wanning pushed open the door and walked in.

The curtains in the room are open, and you can see the bright moon outside the window, and the night is beautiful.

She came to the bed and stopped, looking at the sleeping old lady.

Xue Wanning leaned over and helped her grandmother pull off the quilt.

"Xiaoxiao!" Suddenly, the old lady screamed and grabbed her hand.

Her eyes darkened slightly, and she stared at her hand.

"Xiaoxiao, don't go, come back to grandma."

"Grandma, now you only want Shen Xiaoxiao, don't you want Wanning?"

"Xiaoxiao, don't go."

The old lady was asleep, calling Shen Xiaoxiao's name all the time.

Xue Wanning looked disappointed, shook off her hand vigorously, turned around and strode away.
