Chapter 14: The Arrival of Jiang Manni
Zhuang Da is a very kind uncle in their memory, always smiling at any time, without him, so many children in the welfare home would not have survived.
What's more, the root cause of Song Shuhe's car accident is likely to be because he bumped into what happened to Zhuang Da before he died, and the murderer deliberately guided the car accident.
Therefore, over the years, Zhou Yuxuan will investigate the cause of Zhuang Da's death whenever he has the opportunity.
was just worried that Song Shuhe would be targeted by the murderer again, so Zhou Yuxuan could only investigate the truth quietly and secretly.
Just yesterday, when he was attending a press conference, he found a photo of Zhuang Da and foreigners in a company.
The time was exactly one month before Zhuang Da's death.
Zhou Yuxuan realized that something was likely to happen to Zhuang Da before he died, so he asked someone to investigate Zhuang Da's time abroad.
What exactly was done, maybe some clues can be found.
Browns took the photo and smiled at him: "The money is in place, everything is OK!" ”
Domestic.
Song Shuhe didn't wake up until night, it was cold next to him, and Zhou Yu hadn't come back yet.
She casually took a coat and draped it over her body, leaning against the wall and slowly descending the stairs, and the sound of conversation came from the living room.
"I thought you wouldn't see me?"
The woman's voice was somewhat familiar, and she recalled everyone she knew, and confirmed that it was Jiang Manni.
"Miss, you're awake, dinner is just ready, and I'm about to go up and call you."
Aunt Chen came over to help her, and her voice was as kind as her elders.
Song Shuhe bent the corners of his lips: "Aunt Chen, are you a guest at home?" ”
"Miss Song, I'm Jiang Manni."
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Manni's voice sounded from behind her.
Song Shuhe turned around, and Zhou Yu was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, with no intention of coming over.
She said, "Sir, why don't you come to dinner?" ”
"Zhou Yu and I came back after eating outside, you eat first, and we'll talk about something." Jiang Manni said first.
"Okay."
Song Shuhe sat on the chair with a faint smile, took the bowl handed over by Aunt Chen, touched the chopsticks on the table, tentatively picked up the dishes on the plate, and ate them in small bites.
The sound of the two talking in the living room was faintly heard in the dining room.
"Zhou Yu, it's time to talk about things between us, right?"
Jiang Manni looked at Zhou Yu with an uncertain look on her face, and her tone seemed to be a little helpless and sad.
Hearing this, Song Shuhe's eating speed slowed down, and the mechanical food was delivered to his mouth, and he listened carefully to the sound over there.
"Mannie, we've known each other for so many years, I thought you knew me." Zhou Yu took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, put it in his mouth, and lit it.
The sporadic firelight fell in Jiang Manni's eyes, looking at Zhou Yu's sad expression.
"I understand, but you should also know me, I like you, you didn't know it very early, that's why you hid from me."
"Now that you know, you don't need to say it again."
Zhou Yu's voice was indifferent to Song Shuhe that he had never heard before, and it was different from when she spoke.
Song Shuhe was in a soothing mood, and sure enough, as she guessed, Zhou Yu didn't like Jiang Manni.
After drinking the last mouthful of soup, he handed the bowl out, "Aunt Chen, please help me fill another bowl." ”
Aunt Chen sat not far from her, took the bowl and said with a smile: "Miss Song seems to be in a good mood, and she eats more than usual. ”
"Well, I'm in a good mood." Song Shuhe responded.
"I know, so I can't bear not to come to see you, but this time it's a marriage contract between the Zhou family and the Jiang family, even if you can't refuse."
Jiang Manni looked at Zhou Yu and was even a little proud.
Look, I've been chasing you for so many years, and you don't want to be with me for the rest of your life.
Hearing this, the corners of Zhou Yu's mouth sneered: "Heh, do you think someone can force me to do something I don't want to do?" ”
He threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray, raised his head, and his eyes fell lightly on Jiang Manni's body.
Obviously she didn't do anything, but Jiang Manni felt a cold wind blowing on her back, and her whole body shrank for a moment.
"Whatever you want, I'll listen to my family."
The implication is that if the Jiang family really marries the Zhou family in the end, then she will marry him regardless of whether Zhou Yu wants it or not.
Zhou Yu didn't speak, Jiang Manni was a little angry, but she didn't dare to do anything excessive, picked up her bag, turned around and walked outside.
When she reached the door, she turned and walked into the dining room again.
looked at Song Shuhe, who was sitting there, calmed down and said, "Shuhe, let's go on a picnic the day after tomorrow, let's go together." ”
Song Shuhe subconsciously looked in the direction of Zhou Yu, "Sir? ”
"Just decide for yourself." Zhou Yu seemed to know that Song Shuhe looked at himself again, and said directly.
"Don't worry, this time it's all people I know, I will take care of you, and I'll send you back at night, you can't be bored at home all day, you always have to go out for a walk."
Seeing her hesitation, Jiang Manni said with concern.
"Okay, excuse me."
Thinking that Zhou Yu had said before that she could interact more with Jiang Manni, she nodded and agreed.
Although Jiang Manni is very likely to marry Zhou Yu in the future, she has been very good to her so far, and Song Shuhe does not want to give up any bit of warmth to express kindness to her.
This is the affection she has always longed for.
"What's this, we're friends."
After Jiang Manni finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the door, glanced at Zhou Yu before leaving, and saw that he didn't know what he was thinking with his eyes closed, so he opened the door and walked out without a look.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Song Shuhe finally finished eating, put down the chopsticks in her hand, she stood up and strode into the living room, and a vague shadow helped her walk to Zhou Yu's side.
"Mr. Zhou, will Miss Jiang be your future wife?"
"I don't know."
Zhou Yu took her hand, led her to sit beside him, picked up the transparent box on the table, poured out a pill, and fed it to Song Shuhe's mouth.
Song Shuhe habitually opened his mouth, and was a little dissatisfied with his ambiguous answer.
"Mr. Zhou, can't I be the only one?"
Zhou Yu put half a glass of water in her hand and sighed lightly: "Shuhe, I said that you have to have your own life, and you can also be like them, you can do whatever you want, you are not my toy, nor my accessory." ”
After he finished speaking, seeing that Song Shuhe was still in a daze, he held her hand and carefully raised the cup to his mouth, waited for her to finish drinking the water, and took the cup in her hand.
bent down to pick her up, went upstairs into the bedroom, and when she took off her coat, Song Shuhe suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhou Yu's shirt, and fumbled to untie it one by one.
Zhou Yu grabbed her hand and stopped her movements.
"I have something to do temporarily, I need to go on a business trip, let Qi Jun accompany you if you need anything these days."
