Chapter 11: Shadows

Wake up the next morning. I feel refreshed, and I forgot everything about my dreams, but after getting drunk, Sister Su Xin still knows that she is taking care of herself.

On this day of the New Year, generally speaking, it is a time to clean up and start preparing New Year's goods, but Sister Su Xin and Lan Zi have already finished cleaning a few days ago. Tan Yuran and Bai Shi also had some things to deal with when they came to Jianghai, so they went out early in the morning, and Sister Su Xin cooked noodle soup next door, and when she saw him get up, she pulled him over for breakfast. Thinking of the other party's taking care of himself last night, Lan Zi was a little embarrassed, and thanked him in a whisper, but Su Xin frowned.

"Didn't you call me sister?"

She looked angry, but in fact it was naturally fake, and immediately laughed.

After breakfast, Su Xin turned on the TV to watch martial arts movies, there was a small color TV in her living room, she didn't watch it much on weekdays, at this time, while chatting with Lan Zi, she watched the Condor Heroes who had been replayed many times on TV, and had a while. Su Xin asked, "Is there a holiday over there?" Lan Zicai remembered that there were other things that needed to be done, and he was ready to go out.

"Are you free tomorrow?"

"yes, yes."

"Yu Ran and Shi will deal with things today, go out to play together tomorrow, and buy New Year's goods by the way, let's go together."

"Okay."

Leaving the dormitory, passing through some communities, you can also see some people at home to do the scene of hygiene, his destination is to go to Aunt Zhang's side, think about this time she is alone at home, if you want to do hygiene, there will definitely be some trouble, I have already finished the sanitation on my side, so I went over to help do some hard work. When he arrived at the community where Aunt Zhang lived by car, he saw that several families were also cleaning, and he felt that he had come to the right place.

Aunt Zhang lives in Jianghai, in addition to some unreliable scandals from the outside world, according to her observation in the past half a year, in addition to being close to A Qin, the rest of the people who can talk are only Mr. Shang and Mr. Wang in the company, but the relationship between Mr. Shang and Mr. Wang and Aunt Zhang is also a little delicate, both of them are in their thirties, handsome and capable public lovers, Aunt Zhang is beautiful and temperamental, it stands to reason that men and women have been working together for so many years, if there is a little ambiguity, I am afraid it is normal, But the two of them seem to be hiding from Aunt Zhang. Think about it later. I'm afraid this matter is also related to Fang Xiaoyu's father, listening to the words of the underworld boss named Huo Qinan that day, if anyone really dares to pursue Aunt Zhang, I'm afraid that he will ask someone to arrest Shen Jiang or Shen Hai, Aunt Zhang has been kind to herself in the past few months, and looking at the surprised attitude of those people in the company, you can imagine how unusual this is.

If it weren't for the fact that he was Fang Xiaoyu's classmate, he would probably have been arrested and taken to Shenjiang......

Thinking about these things boringly, I entered the community, went upstairs, knocked on the door, and after a while, there was a sound of footsteps inside, Aunt Zhang probably looked out through the cat's eyes before she smiled and opened the door, she was dressed in casual home clothes, a turtleneck fleece jacket with a goose-yellow hem that almost covered her thighs, cotton trousers, and a pair of Garfield-shaped cotton warm shoes, the shoes looked very large, so her figure was a little petite.

"Baoshu, come in."

Squatted aside to find slippers for Lan Zi. beckoned him to come in and sit down, turned on the big TV in the living room, and ran to the side to pour water. Aunt Zhang lives here are half-new old houses, this house has been renovated after buying, wooden floors, simple ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows are very warm, although it is a person to live, but the surrounding hygiene is very clean, there is an open book on the sofa, before knocking on the door, I am afraid that Aunt Zhang will sit here and read a book. He had come here several times before, and when he sat down at this time, he suddenly thought of some other things, and for a moment, when Aunt Zhang smiled and asked him if he was okay when he came over, Lan Zi scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"Uh, that...... Today's New Year, everyone is cleaning, I thought Aunt Zhang, you were alone here, Sister Aqin was busy with a blind date, and my sanitation over there had been completed, so I came over...... Uh, I wanted to help, but ......"

The reason why he was suddenly a little embarrassed was because he thought that he had just reacted, Aunt Zhang had a housekeeping company here that often came over to take care of hygiene, and he wanted to come over to help, I am afraid it was a little redundant. Halfway through the words, Zhang Yumo already understood what he meant. At this time, while looking at him, he put his hand to his lips and smiled softly, it was a warm and intellectual smile, and when Lan Zi noticed that smiling gaze, his face turned slightly red.

"Actually, there is something going on, Xiao Nian, I want to go out to buy some New Year's goods, but I'm always lazy at home alone, Baoshu, since you're here, can you accompany me out to buy something?"

"Okay."

"Then you sit down first, I'll go change my clothes, and I'll be fine right away."

Zhang Yumo said, entered the bedroom, and when he came out, he just changed into a pair of trousers suitable for going out, still wearing the long velvet jacket, wearing a hat, and carrying a small bag in his hand, and smiled at Lan Zi: "Let's go." ”

In the past few months, there would also be Lan Zi who accompanied Aunt Zhang to the supermarket to buy things after work, and then helped to carry things home, after a few times. It feels like Aunt Zhang, who is so intellectually beautiful and has an outstanding temperament, to go to those neat, clean and orderly supermarkets, shopping malls, specialty stores and other places on weekdays, but the places I went to today are a little different. Driving an expensive sports car, the two of them came over this time, but it was a lively comprehensive wholesale market in the center of Jianghai.

Speaking of the average people to buy New Year's goods, most of them come to such a place, at this time it is not yet noon, the market is bustling, crowded, but perhaps it is this atmosphere that can better set off the lively atmosphere of the approaching New Year. Zhang Yumo is not a pampered daughter, but she is thin. In the past, when a person was in Jianghai, it was indeed not good to come to squeeze such a market at this time, even if she was not afraid of thieves and the like, she really bought too many things, and she couldn't mention it alone. At this time, accompanied by Lan Zi, she walked all the way through the crowded crowd, picking out candy, biscuits and other things between various shops, bargaining with people, everything was very skillful, and occasionally she would ask Lan Zi to give advice, at this time, people could sincerely feel that this young and beautiful woman, who was dressed like a model even slightly, was indeed a mother.

When the two of them went out, it was already late, and it was already time to have lunch when they picked up some candy in the morning, and at this time they went to eat at a restaurant near the market, perhaps because the New Year was also a person, and the total category of candy bought a lot, but only bought a little bit of each, although she also had the need to pay New Year's greetings everywhere after the New Year, but that kind of gift was basically in charge of Aqin, not to mention such a market, I am afraid that I can't buy any high-end gifts.

After eating two simple set meals, taking a short break, I had to buy more things in the afternoon, including sweets, all kinds of snacks, or dried goods for cooking, sea cucumbers, squid, dried scallops and the like, vegetables, fruits, meat, fireworks and firecrackers, each of which was not much, but once it was added up, the scale was really considerable, and I went back to the parking place to put things back in the car once.

Zhang Yumo is obviously really enjoying the fun of shopping for things, laughing while walking through the crowded market, occasionally there are too many people, and everyone is carrying things, she will squeeze over without any scruples. Someone stepped on her foot hard, and she grinned in pain, Lan Zi noticed that no matter what she bought, she was bargaining, Zhang Yumo was beautiful, could talk, and was accurate about the price, she rarely failed in bargaining, but even if she won, she didn't buy much, and the boss protested several times, so the two sides debated again.

Lan Zi followed behind, admiring, there is really a gap between age and experience, when he goes shopping with mustard, mustard will also habitually bargain, but the price does not dare to cut too much, and he is complacent when he gets a little cheap, and many times he flashes because he can't talk, how can there be Aunt Zhang so smooth, when she bought wool, she actually cut the price directly to 20% of the transaction, of course, it may also be because the other party saw Zhang Yumo's appearance, thinking that she was a fat sheep and deliberately shouted the price.

Until the time he left, Lan Zi still thought about the boss shouting three hundred, and Zhang Yumo calmly replied with the other party's expression at sixty...... With such a ruthless knife, he can still make a deal, Lan Zi feels that he really feels what is called the art of bargaining......

Putting a lot of things into the car, Lan Zi couldn't help but say what was in his heart, and sighed in admiration, Zhang Yumo, who was standing opposite and was pulling the car door, was stunned at first, and then burst out laughing, it was no longer the calm expression when he bargained, this smile seemed to be a little girlish cute.

"Huh...... I didn't want to buy that yarn, I said it casually, but I didn't expect the boss to agree...... Hehe......"

"Uh......" The two of them got into the car, and then Lan Zi also laughed, "It seems that the trick to bargaining is to treat everything as if you don't want it." ”

Zhang Yumo glanced at him a few times, and nodded thoughtfully: "Hmm, Baoshu, what you said makes sense." Then he looked back, frowned imperceptibly, and then started the car.

For most of the day's shopping trip, Aunt Zhang has always been very happy, but there are also a few times when Lan Zi inadvertently noticed that she seemed to be frowning, and she didn't know what she thought of, or more likely, she seemed to have seen something. The market was crowded, and Lan Zi couldn't find too many things, thinking that maybe it was his hallucination, but when the sports car came out of the parking lot and drove a few blocks, Lan Zi looked back several times before finally determining that there seemed to be two cars following him, when he looked at Zhang Yumo who was driving, Zhang Yumo casually glanced at the rearview mirror, then smiled slightly, and shook his head at Lan Zi.

"Leave them alone, it's fine."

"Uh......" Lan Zi thought for a long time before looking back again, "They...... Is it that Huo Qinan's person? ”

Zhang Yumo smiled coldly, this was the first time Lan Zi had seen her such a sharp and disgusted expression at close range, but it was only for a moment, she smiled softly: "It's okay." I didn't explain much to Lan Zi, but it was obviously a tacit acquiescence.

After all, it is the relationship between the elders and the younger generations, for Zhang Yumo, Lan Zi is his daughter's classmate, and for Lan Zi, Zhang Yumo is the mother of his classmate. In the past few months, although Zhang Yumo has been cordial, he occasionally chatted together, talking about Lan Zi's work and school, and the recent situation of Fang Xiaoyu's study in the United States. Regarding Huo Qinan's matter, Zhang Yumo obviously didn't want this young man who was Xiaoyu's classmate to be involved.

And on Lan Zi's side, since Aunt Zhang, as an elder, showed such an attitude, of course he didn't want to ask anything, in fact, although it seemed that Zhang Yumo didn't like the fact that someone was following, but Huo Qinan was actually instructed by Fang Mingqian, Fang Xiaoyu didn't have a good impression of this father, but whether there was a relationship between Aunt Zhang and Fang Mingqian, it was difficult to say...... However, combined with what Aunt Zhang said in front of Huo Qinan last time, and the current attitude, it should have nothing to do with it.

However, this kind of independence is probably only one-sided.

During this period of time, he probably knew Huo Qinan's status, and also vaguely understood Fang Mingqian and the power of the Fang family behind that person, there should be no relationship between the two, but Fang Mingqian only showed an attitude, there is Huo Qinan here to help him do things, the new star studio is smooth sailing, all kinds of rumors about Zhang Yumo, the strange attitude of Mr. Shang and Mr. Wang in the company, with such excellent conditions of Aunt Zhang, no one dares to pursue her, all this is combined......

Lan Zi was thinking about these things in his seat, Zhang Yumo on the side was smiling while driving, occasionally mentioning the topic and saying a few words to Lan Zi, but compared to before, he was already much silent. The happy atmosphere of the past half a day, Zhang Yumo's relaxed mood brought by shopping, all because of Fang Cai's words, have been invisibly faded away. The two cars in the back brought only a small shadow, looking at the complicated or indifferent look occasionally revealed by the woman who was driving next to her, Lan Zi felt that she could vaguely feel what kind of huge shadow and pressure was enveloping her.

Although I don't know what pressure Fang Mingqian separated from her more than ten years ago, but over the years, maybe Fang Xiaoyu's father has never intended to give up on her, although it seems that Zhang Yumo himself has completely disdained such "love", the shadow of the name Fang Mingqian has been pressing on her head, and even infiltrated into her entire life, even Lan Zi, an outsider can feel the shadow, it is not difficult to imagine how she herself is under such tremendous pressure. Others gave her face because of Fang Mingqian, saying that she was Fang Mingqian's mistress, and no man dared to get close to her, and even partners like Mr. Shang and Mr. Wang deliberately kept their distance...... The last time Huo Qinan called her sister-in-law, she could still say disgustingly, "I have nothing to do with him." But if Fang Mingqian wants to hold the hand beside her one day, even if she now has a net worth of hundreds of millions, I'm afraid there is no room for resistance.

It can be vaguely imagined, but if it is not the party concerned, I am afraid it is impossible to really understand what kind of huge pressure she is under in her heart, and what kind of darkness is behind the kindness, obviously she has parents in her hometown, but she is unwilling to go back for the New Year, she would rather read books in Jianghai alone, she sent Xiaoyu to the United States, and Xiaoyu's disgust for her father, she wanted to hit the Fang family, although it was unlikely, but it must have been because she felt these things.

He hated it......
