Chapter 194: Shackles

Chu Tianmian happily pulled him to the right, and at a corner after the end of the boulevard, Su Chengyi raised his head, only to realize what kind of place this was.

It's not a house anymore, it's just a house. The manor.

When the janitor guarding the door saw Chu Tianmian coming from afar, he had already opened the door in advance.

At this time, he kept a bowing posture and saluted respectfully:

"Miss."

Chu Tianmian nodded, signaling that they didn't need to do this.

The two of them walked all the way inside, and there were people in uniforms of the same color saluting all the way.

Chu Tianmian couldn't help but sneak a glance at Su Chengyi next to him, as if he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable.

She has been trying hard to give advice to people at home, saying that she doesn't need to be so formal when her mother is not at home.

But they all said to their faces that they knew, and next time they should bow or salute.

In fact, she could probably guess why.

Because if you are used to getting along as equals on weekdays, when your mother comes back, she may forget to adjust back.

That's miserable.

There will be no lessons, no bonuses will be deducted. But they will be expelled directly.

Anyway, there are a lot of people who want to work here. Nannies guard gardeners and cooks, and every profession is waiting in long lines for interviews.

Miss Chu is an approachable and lively and lovely person, and she does not have the sense of superiority brought by pampering, and there is probably no better little master in the world to get along with.

All the people who came to work here were full of praise for Chu Tianmian, and because of this, if you want to continue to work here, you must not be caught by Madame.

When calling Chu Qianmian "Miss", people will also call Su Chengyi next to him "Young Master" by the way.

He got goosebumps all over his body when he heard it.

The two walked in side by side, and the buildings in the manor generally leaned towards the style of European-style castles, with exquisite classical sculptures and all kinds of rich and verdant trees and shrubs.

In Qingjiang District, where every inch of land is valuable, there is such a private estate covering an extremely wide area.

Su Chengyi couldn't help but sigh secretly.

I still have a certain misunderstanding about the Chu family's financial resources.

No, it should be that most people have a misunderstanding of the Chu family's financial resources.

I just don't know if this is deliberately done by Chu Yuanjiang, or if it is really too low-key.

No wonder Chu Qianmian would know that the northwest gate was a lake.

Because this lake is probably also part of her home.

"Good afternoon, Miss. May I ask who this young master is? ”

Walking through the leafy front garden, I finally reached the door, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes quickly strode forward to greet him.

"Marriage Partner."

Chu Tianmian replied solemnly.

??

What the heck.

Su Chengyi couldn't help but glance sideways at the guy who was running the train with his mouth full, and the latter was snickering like a little fox who had successfully foraged for food.

The man in the suit looked at the two people in front of him, and he understood most of it.

Of course, it is impossible to marry someone.

The Chu family is an only daughter, and she has been cared for in every way since she was a child, and she is afraid of falling in the palm of her hand, and she is afraid of melting in her mouth.

Even if the other party is the president's son, Mr. Chu, who regards women as his life, will not agree to let his pearl in his palm suffer such grievances.

Being stared at by Su Chengyi's eyes, Chu Qianmian whispered "hum", and reintroduced with a smile:

"This is my classmate, Su Chengyi, he is Steward Han."

"Hello Mr. Butler."

Su Chengyi nodded and said hello.

"Young Master Su is good."

Steward Han immediately stretched out his hand to shake hands with him, and the two of them shook their palms lightly, and then withdrew their hands.

He'd heard the name for a long time.

Mr. Chu privately commented with him, saying that this kid is not simple, and over time, he must be an uncontrollable and difficult person to deal with.

Driver Gao spoke highly of Su Chengyi and said bluntly that he admired him.

Of course, more impressions still come from their own young lady.

Chu Tianmian has been a child with a strong desire to express himself since he was a child, and he likes to have broken thoughts even when he is alone.

originally thought that she would be more mature and introverted when she grew up, but until she is about to graduate from high school, she is still the same as when she was a child, with a clear and transparent temperament.

When I got home, the first thing I talked to the housekeeper about was what I wanted to eat tonight.

And then there is what happened at school, I don't know when it began, the name "Su Chengyi" began to appear frequently in the mouth of the young lady.

Although he often complains about why he is the first again, and he doesn't know what he is dragging when he talks to him, but when the young lady talks about him, her eyes are always shining.

Steward Han naturally knows what this means, and this is not a short-lived girl's heartbeat, but it has always existed since she was sensible, and it can even be said to be a relationship that grows up with the young lady.

Therefore, he has always been curious about this young man named Su Chengyi, but he didn't expect to see it today.

Steward Han has lived most of his life, and he can be regarded as reading countless people, at this time, he was smiling warmly on the surface, but he felt that something was wrong in his heart.

The legendary Su Cheng in front of him looked a little childish like a middle school student, but his eyes were very deep.

It looked like a pool of black water, and I couldn't see the depth at all.

Having such an indifferent and detached temperament at this age can make people feel a little dangerous.

Su Chengyi didn't know that he had been scanned from head to toe by Steward Han, he was just a little sleepy.

Chu Qianmian was in good spirits, and she took Su Chengyi by herself and walked inside.

"Would you like something to eat?"

"No, you don't."

At noon, I was just fed a big meal by Sister Lin.

The Scandinavian modern living room is elegantly decorated, with a custom Steinway & Sons piano in the corner and ornate chandeliers casting a warm atmosphere.

There are several ancient paintings hanging on the wall, Su Chengyi glanced at them slightly, it should be genuine.

"Are you going to sit here for a while? Forget it, you go upstairs with me! ”

Chu Tianmian took the hem of his skirt and stepped on the staircase of the rotating design first, beckoning to him.

"I'll just wait here."

Su Chengyi shook his head.

It's a bit too borderless to go into the bedroom or something.

"Oh, you're with me."

Chu Tianmian hugged the railing and played tricks.

couldn't help it, Su Chengyi had to follow her footsteps and go up.

After seeing the structure of the second floor, Su Chengyi knew that the sense of boundary or something was too unknowledgeable.

He thought he had walked into the bedroom, and after a pause, he quickly withdrew, and only after seeing Chu Tianmian's puzzled expression did he realize

- It's just the cloakroom.

Miss Chu's cloakroom area is larger than his family's entire house.

It feels like a hundred people can fit in the closet.

All kinds of luxury brand customization, logo dazzling him.

It's hard to imagine anyone waking up in the morning and choosing to pass by a large area of these clothes to change into an unpretentious blue and white school uniform.

"Su Chengyi, you help me choose."

Chu Tianmian smiled and took a few sets of clothes casually and gestured to himself.

"Aren't you going to study at night, you don't wear a school uniform?"

Su Chengyi sat on the sofa and watched with interest as the smile on the corner of Chu Tianmian's mouth gradually collapsed.

"Hmph."

Although reluctant, the small class leader still has to lead by example for the school rules, and she turned around and walked into the locker room with the ironed school uniform.

Su Chengyi looked sideways out of the shutters, and unlike the front garden with the theme of green shrubs, the back garden was full of flowers, with all kinds of flowers competing with each other.

Several gardeners are carefully pruning with scissors.

A little further away, you can faintly see a sky blue, which is a private pool.

No wonder Chu Dumping sleeps more and doesn't get fat.

Returning to the room after eating in the living room must be considered a fat-burning exercise.

At this time, Steward Han knocked lightly on the door of the cloakroom, and said with a smile:

"Young Master Su, there is a snack in the tea room here."

Su Chengyi nodded and stood up.

Follow him to the tea room on the other side, the decoration style is a bit classical.

Plates of delicate Chinese dim sum sit on a rosewood coffee table, sunlight reflecting on the floor through floor-to-ceiling windows, and the two sit down opposite each other.

Steward Han's craftsmanship in making tea looks very professional, and the purple clay pot collides, and the air is instantly filled with the fragrance of tea.

"Young Master Su, please try it, Ming Qian Longjing."

Su Chengyi blew and took a sip.

The aroma is rich and the taste is sweet.

He nodded approvingly.

My grandfather likes to taste tea, and if he tastes it, he will appreciate it.

"Does Young Master Su have any hobbies on weekdays?"

When Steward Han asked, his tone was very soft, which made people have no psychological burden.

It's like chatting between relatives and friends.

This is also one of the skills he needs to learn as a housekeeper.

Although Su Chengyi thought so, he didn't resist, but replied calmly:

"It's approaching the college entrance examination, and I don't have any special hobbies."

"If Young Master Su wants to watch a movie, there is a private theater in the basement. If you want to play, there are also courts. ”

"Not yet."

Su Chengyi finished the hot tea in the cup, feeling a warm current flow from his throat into his stomach.

The discomfort caused by drinking those few alcoholic drinks in the afternoon instantly disappeared a lot.

Steward Han immediately had the insight to help him fill up.

"Young Master Su, if you want to."

"Mr. Butler."

Su Chengyi interrupted him and continued slowly:

"If there's anything you'd like to ask, just ask."

There's no need to beat around the bush, he's not tired, he's going to be tired for him.

Steward Han lowered his head and smiled, he didn't expect to be pierced by such a young man.

"What kind of person does Young Master Su think my young lady is?"

Su Chengyi didn't expect him to ask this kind of question.

I thought I would check his household registration and ask him something about his family.

But after thinking about it, at the Chu family's level, they don't have to care about these at all.

Su Chengyi propped up the coffee table with his elbow, held his chin and thought about it, and asked:

"Will you just turn around and tell her?"

Steward Han shook his head and smiled,

"No, it won't. It's just."

The smile on the corner of his mouth stiffened a little, and he sighed for a long time.

"Does Young Master Su think he will be very happy living in such a house?"

Su Chengyi looked at the teacup with delicate patterns in his hand, and replied without much thought:

"For me, happiness doesn't have much to do with where I live."

When I was a child, I lived in a cramped two-bedroom apartment in the old city, and I didn't feel happy.

When I grow up, I live alone in the big flat in the center of the magic city, and I don't feel happy.

"Mr. and Mrs. are very busy, and most of the time, Mademoiselle is with the nanny and me."

"From the time she learned to walk, her favorite activity was to run around the house in the kind of shoes that squeaked."

Su Chengyi knows that kind of shoes, and the name is "called shoes".

As long as you step on it, it makes a cry like a duckling, and it is very noisy.

Since he was a child, he has been very disgusted with children of his age who love to wear such shoes.

"I was very curious once, so I asked Miss why. That way, she said, it wasn't so quiet in the room. ”

"Mademoiselle has been taught to be a perfect person since she was a child, and she has done a good job. But occasionally I feel like she's not as happy as she seems. ”

"Young Master Su, what do you think?"

Steward Han's expression was very sincere, and he had already taken off the docile mask that had been deliberately put on display just now.

Su Chengyi lowered his head and lowered his eyes, looking at the mist rising in the teacup.

He actually thinks so, too.

If the classmates in the school were to use one word to describe Chu Tianmian, most of them would definitely say "perfect".

Excellent character and learning, sincere to others, is a person who can't find fault with a microscope.

But how can anyone be born perfect?

Perfection is both the highest degree of appreciation and a heavy shackle.

When the two were silent, Chu Tianmian, who had already changed his clothes, ran over.

"Why did you get here? I've been looking for a long time."

She complained, but quickly sat down next to Su Chengyi, reached out and took a piece of butterfly cake that was still steaming and put it in her mouth.

"Hmmm! Is Aunt Ma on duty today? It's delicious. ”

She squinted her eyes in satisfaction with a smile.

"Didn't you say you were going to see the puppy?"

Su Chengyi raised his hand and took out a tissue and wiped the cookie residue from the corner of her mouth.

"yes, then we'll go now!"

When it came to the puppy, Chu Qianmian, who was leaning on Su Chengyi's side like a boneless creature, got up again with great interest.

"Where did you meet the puppy?"

Su Chengyi asked with some curiosity.

"In the morning I asked if you wanted to have breakfast, and you said no. I ate it myself and went for a walk. ”

Chu Tianmian tied up his hair today and walked in front, flicking his high ponytail.

"And then I kept walking, and I saw a big dog in a yard that was chained! It had already heard my footsteps as I walked past, but looked back at me and didn't bark. ”

Chu Tianmian stretched out his hand and gestured to the size of the dog.

Then I ran home, poked an egg and fed it. At first, it didn't come back, I screamed for a long time. ”

It was indeed barked for a long time, and the dog was quite cold, Su Chengyi recalled the video she took.

"I wanted to touch my head after feeding, but it bared my teeth! The security guard next to me also told me not to reach out, it will bite. ”

Chu Tianmian sighed.

Su Chengyi looked at her dejected appearance and wanted to laugh.

"You like puppies so much, why don't you get one?"

He couldn't help but ask.

After all, such a big family, let alone raising one, it is more than enough to raise a hundred.

You can directly form a dog legion.

Unexpectedly, when it came to this, Chu Tianmian was even more pitiful.

Steward Han on the side looked at his eyes and explained in a loud voice:

"Madame is allergic to animal hair and has a habit of cleanliness, so she doesn't let Miss come into contact with small animals when she is young."

I see.

It sounds like this lady is a very controlling person, combined with the deeds of not letting Chu Tianmian eat roadside stalls, it is almost the same as the stereotypical image of a wealthy wife.

Chu Tianmian sighed heavily.

"I even went to the cat café to pet the cat, and I had to take a shower immediately when I got home. Last time, I played with the big fat orange at school for a while, and when I came home, my mother actually came back, and I was scared out of heart disease. ”

Steward Han only sent the two of them to the door, and after waving goodbye, he walked for a while before walking to the courtyard that Chu Tianmian said.

I can't see it in the video, but now that I look at it, I can't say it's old, it's dilapidated.

It looks like it's completely deserted and uninhabited.

The dog was napping under the tree with his back to the fence, and he didn't even lift his head when he heard the footsteps.

"Little dog, I'm coming to see you again~ And Su Chengyi also came to see you!"

Chu Tianmian greeted happily with the fence door.

Maybe it was the hard-boiled egg in the morning that worked, but the dog struggled for a while, but slowly got up and walked to the door.

Although he still didn't wag his tail, he just looked at the excited Chu Tianmian helplessly.

Su Chengyi took out his mobile phone and checked what breed this dog didn't look very smart was.

"Bernese Mountain Dog."

After comparing the coat color and body shape characteristics, it should be.

"The Bernese Mountain Dog is energetic and polite."

Ha?

Su Chengyi looked at the bulky big dog in front of him again.

"The ancient Romans used the Bernese Mountain Dog as a military dog to transport military supplies or rescue the wounded."

Ah, it's the ancestral one who pulls the goods.

"Su Chengyi, look."

Chu Tianmian was touching the dog's head instead of a branch picked up on the ground.

Although the expression on the dog's face was still resistant, the tail was already wagging uncontrollably.

Su Chengyi sighed secretly, fortunately, humans don't have an organ like a tail.

Otherwise, any emotions are all on display.

The two played with the puppy for a while, but it was not so much playing as harassing it for a while.

Chu Qianmian originally wanted to take him home for dinner, but Su Chengyi had to go back to change his school uniform, so the two had to go separately.

Before leaving, Su Cheng inquired about the security guard on duty not far away.

It turned out that the owner of this family was away from home all year round, so he needed a dog to watch the house.

This dog has been here for a long time, at least seven or eight years, and it is estimated that he has entered the old age of the dog.

So sometimes it's not that you don't want to pay attention to people, but it's just that you're slow to react when you're older.

The kennel is also not good, dirty, and it is difficult to identify the breed if it is not for the obvious characteristics of Bourne Mountain.

Su Chengyi looked at the heavy iron chain around its neck, and then looked up at the high iron fence.

For seven or eight years, it was tied here.

The security guard will feed it some food regularly so that it will not starve to death.

But the canned food, snacks and the like that pet dogs eat nowadays may not have been tasted.

Sit in a well and watch the sky.

Would the dog think that the world was only so big?

Su Cheng thought about this question, and unconsciously walked to the door of the community.

He leaned against the bus stop sign and looked up at the clear sky, with a few swallows soaring past from time to time.

He thought he would have to wait a long time, but he was lucky this time, and only a minute later, the bus that he was going home stopped on the side of the road.

However, Su Chengyi's footsteps were fixed in place.

Although the swallow is small, it sets the sky very wide.

It wasn't until the car drove away that he turned around and walked to the supermarket next to the neighborhood and bought an oversized ham sausage with the thickness of his forearm.

Turning back to the position just now, this time the dog heard his footsteps, and actually reacted quickly, pacing slowly.

Ham sausage still has a fatal attraction for dogs.

Su Chengyi peeled off the package slowly, and the dog was already spinning in circles, flowing all over the place.

He broke it piece by piece and fed it, and it wasn't until he finished feeding this oversized ham sausage that he clapped his hands and stood up.

Because of the dog's age, the brown eyes are already a little cloudy.

Su Chengyi looked at it for a long time, and boldly stretched out his hand over the fence.

But also be ready to retract your hand at any time.

Give it a go, being bitten is just a few shots of rabies vaccine!

Unexpectedly, the dog not only didn't bare his teeth, but also lowered his head obediently, looking like he was picking up.

It's no longer the noble and glamorous Bourne Mountain in the video.

Su Cheng stroked its head and said:

"If Chu Tianmian knew that one of your ham sausages was bought, your dog design would collapse."

Actually, it doesn't feel good.

Maybe because of poor nutrition and staying in a dirty space for a long time, its fur is not only uncomfortable to touch, but even a little prickly.

Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone again, took a video of the dog and sent it to Chu Qianmian.

The reflection arc is as long as the Moon:

“???”

"Why !!?"

"I don't accept !!"

This reaction made Su Chengyi very satisfied, he laughed and patted the dog's head gently.

"I'll see you next time and bring you canned food."

The dog seemed to understand, and "Wang".

This seems to be the first time I've heard it scream, and I didn't call it when I saw strangers before.

Can such a dog really take on the role of a caretaker?

Su Chengyi crossed his arms and looked at it examiningly.

Well, nothing else, at least it's enough in terms of size.

"Bye-bye."

After walking a distance, Su Chengyi glanced back again, but he didn't expect it to stand in place in a daze.

The heavy chains had been straightened to the limit.

That's why he didn't raise small animals even when he was alone in his previous life.
