Obviously, the story of "City of Thorns" is only halfway through, Xu Jinman asked and then.
Shen Shu withdrew her gaze from her eyes and said, "You can see for yourself later."
"Oh."
Xu Jinman put his hands on the back of his head, closed his eyes gently, and Shen Shu's clean voice sounded beside his ears: "I have something to ask you, Ren Xiaoqi asked me for your WeChat, can you give it?"
Xu Jinman turned her head: "Who is Ren Xiaoqi?"
Shen Shu: "The last time you had a drink with her at a restaurant, she said she had a good chat with you and wanted to get to know her."
Xu Jinman was silent for two seconds, remembering that there is such a person, she actually has a good memory, but she usually doesn't remember people or things that she is not interested in.
Rejected to the throat, Xu Jinman turned his thoughts and asked, "Then what did you say?"
"I said push your WeChat to her." Adding it is Xu Jinman's business.
Shen Shu paused and said, "Do you want it?"
Xu Jinman: "...so generous."
Shen Shu looked at her sideways.
Xu Jinman's gaze has not been retracted, the two people's gazes meet, and the process seems to have stopped for a moment, but it seems not.
Shen Shu took it back first, and she said: "If you don't want it, I will help you back."
Xu Jinman said: "In the future, this kind of thing will be returned."
She reminded that the marriage must not be hidden, and when Shen Shu became famous in the future, and Xu Jinman was not the kind of low-key person in the past, there might be troubles on the Internet by then.
This was what Tong Jia told her.
She thinks it makes sense.
Who would have thought that after Shen Shu finished listening, she closed the book: "I'm hiding it?"
There was a hint of questioning in the tone, which made people nervous.
Xu Jinman lowered his originally calm tone: "I mean, that day Xia Chun asked if we were friends, but you didn't say anything."
She took it for granted that Shen Shu didn't want everyone to know that they were husband and wife for the time being.
Shen Shu: "You didn't say that either."
At that time, she was not sure whether Xu Jinman wanted her to admit the relationship, so she waited for two seconds.Later, Xia Chunrang went in for dinner together, and Xu Jinman didn't say anything.
Xu Jinman: "..."
Xu Jinman laughed: "They are all from your crew, why am I afraid of admitting the relationship?"
Shen Shu choked.
At that time, they were not so familiar with each other, how could she know what Xu Jinman was thinking.
Similarly, Xu Jinman didn't know what she thought.
Shen Shu said: "Forget it." It's like arguing with a child, what's the point of winning the fight.
These two words are actually without any anger, or emotional fluctuations, and are even softer than the tone just now.
Just wanted to end this topic as usual.
But Xu Jinman became sensitive, the woman said 'forget it', that was a little minded.
Why do you win the fight? I can't bear it.
Xu Jinman watched Shen Shu put the book on the bedside, and didn't plan to read it, and obviously didn't plan to talk about what happened just now.
"Maybe I didn't understand what you meant." Xu Jinman said: "Anyway, as long as you know, I don't mind what you say or do. I also listen to you about marriage. I can do whatever you want. You can do whatever you like."
Shen Shu's hand holding the blanket moved slightly, Xu Jinman's words were sincere, especially the last "as long as you are happy", she had heard it countless times.
Shen Shu briefly went back to think about Xu Jinman's first sentence, which was serious, and she suddenly wanted to laugh.
That kind of joy came from the heart, popping up little by little, Shen Shu thought, she really didn't hate Xu Jinman at all.
This guy is funny sometimes.
Shen Shu: "I don't mind either."
After finishing speaking in a low voice, she slid her body into the blanket, turned her back to Xu Jinman and said, "Remember to turn off the lights when you sleep."
Shen Shu pulled the blanket to her heart, and there was a ray of sunshine in her breath, which was very comfortable and clean.
Looking at her slender back, Xu Jinman gently pulled her lower lip.
She got up a little, reached for the book that Shen Shu put on the table, and saw the name.
Xu Jinman glanced at Shen Shu, it was not "City of Thorns" at all.
The cover reads "Tipping the Velvet", which means "Licking the Velvet".
Original English version.
Sure enough, Shen Shu was implicating her?What does it mean for her?
Xu Jinman was thinking, and while lying down, he flipped through two pages at random. He was originally curious, but he read it unconsciously.
Xu Jinman's reading tastes are very mixed, but he is also very picky.
She also doesn't object to the plot of being greened by jj in the novel. Desire is the desire of human beings, the desire of the body, and the desire of the soul.
It is an instinct and a need.
She will also have this desire, and her body will also respond when she sees some indescribable plots.
Like now.
Books are sometimes twice as effective for the senses as audio, because there is plenty of room for reverie.
' I felt her hand on the wettest part of my body, and she breathed into my ear "Do you like it?" She whispered, "Come in?" The question was so gentle, so brave, I almost Cried……'
Xu Jinman's gland suddenly pricked.
She put down the book, touched her tingling skin, slept under the bed for the past two days, but there was no response, and suddenly she was a little vigilant.
Fortunately, the reaction was not severe and disappeared after a while.
Twenty minutes later, hearing a slight movement on the bed, Xu Jinman got up and turned off the light.
Just touching the glands Xu Jinman couldn't help thinking, when Shen Shu we saw these pictures, would she think the same in her heart?
Probably not.
Goddess of abstinence, why would she think of this.
the next morning.
Shen Shu got up earlier than Xu Jinman, boiled three white eggs, heated up milk, and added three slices of bread with blueberry sauce.
It's simple yet complex.
Cai Ying looked at the nutritious meal on the table, and said to Xu Jinman who had just packed out the room: "Xu Jinman, your wife's best friend begs you, make me an edible breakfast."
Since she returned to China, she seldom eats milk and bread since she tasted Beicheng fried dough sticks, small wontons, tofu soup, and steamed buns.
"What is inedible?" Shen Shu sat in front of Cai Ying and smiled slightly.
Cai Ying looked at the smile, and immediately gave up, and said with a smile: "I can eat it, I can eat it, the breakfast made by Shushu is really delicious."
She took a bite of the bread.
Xu Jinman sat down beside Shen Shu: "You're quick enough."
Cai Ying stared at him, Xu Jinman frowned indifferently, picked up the milk and took a sip: "It's delicious, and the temperature is just right."
Cai Ying wanted to bite the bread as if it was Xu Jinman.
"Okay, let's eat." Shen Shu handed the blueberry sauce to Xu Jinman, and said to Cai Ying, "I talked to your father, and he agreed to change you to a teacher who doesn't look so ordinary."
Before Cai Ying could be happy, Shen Shu said:
"However, you have to wait until you pass this English test."
Cai Ying: "..."
That's over, she didn't learn it at all, just like Xu Jinman said, she couldn't even pass the basics.
Cai Ying turned her attention to Xu Jinman for help.
Xu Jinman doesn't like eating blueberry sauce very much, but he still opened the cover of the sauce, dug out a little bit and spread it on the bread: "You still have half a month, hurry up and make up your lessons."
Cai Ying: "I really can't learn from that teacher... Hey, sister Jinman."
Xu Jinman felt chills down his spine: "...?"
Cai Ying said: "Your strength is more than enough for me to make up lessons. Compared with that tutor, I would rather face you."
Rather, face her, right?
Xu Jinman wiped his mouth, said calmly, "You give up."
Cai Ying: "..."
Shen Shu listened to the two coming and going, like talking about a cross talk, but the bustle of the early morning washed away the gloomy weather outside the house.
Cai Ying received a call from Father Cai early in the morning, and the car to pick her up was waiting downstairs.
After Cai Ying left, Xu Jinman whispered, "My mother's birthday is today, I have to go back to Xu's house."
"Ah."
Xu Jinman hesitated: "I want to buy a gift, do you have any suggestions?"
She is not good at pleasing the elders, and she has never been able to buy gifts in the past. Perhaps she subconsciously felt that Lu Yun might have suffered unfair treatment like the original body, so she also wanted to treat her within the scope of what she could do. better.
She thought about this gift for a long time last night, and she always felt that Lu Yun didn't lack anything.
Seeing her appearance, Shen Shu was silent for a while, and said, "When are you going to buy it?"
Xu Jinman said, "It's afternoon."
In the morning, I have to meet with people from the company, and about the Song family.
"I'm fine this afternoon, I can accompany you to have a look."
Xu Jinman was slightly surprised, and then slightly raised the corners of her lips: "Then I'll come back to pick you up after work?"
Shen Shu responded.
Just the phrase 'come back' gently stirred her nerves.
Sometimes she wondered, did Xu Jinman use these words casually, or did she know what they meant and still use them?
The two went downstairs together, Shen Shu was going to the supermarket, and Xu Jinman was going to the company.
Xu Jinman went to the side of the road, turned to look at Shen Shu: "Send you there?"
Shen Shu glanced at the supermarket not far away, and said, "No, just ahead."
Xu Jinman explained: "Oh, I have never been to the supermarket here."
Shen Shu nodded: "Then I'll go first."
When Xu Jinman got into the car, she saw Shen Shu bent over and patted down her pants. The short white T reached her waist. When she bent over, there was an inch gap between the jeans and the jeans, revealing half of her milky white skin around her waist.
Didn't look much, got in the car.
"Miss, Song Ronghui called me this morning."
"say what?"
"I asked you when you would go to the company today, and said to call you to turn off the phone." Zhou Pei said, "I told her that if you didn't come today, I was worried that she would find Miss Shen."
Xu Jin paused for a moment, but Zhou Pei's words woke her up.
After restarting the phone, I saw several messages, the most of which were from Song Ronghui.
Song Ronghui: [Man, is there a misunderstanding between our family and the Xu family? 】
Song Ronghui: [When you see the news, ask me?My family's warehouse was raided by someone who was the former financial broker of the Xu family. 】
Song Ronghui: [Xu Jinman, did you do it? 】
Up to here, the news was before one o'clock in the morning, Song Ronghui was still calm.
She was obviously agitated in the back.
Song Ronghui: [Why did you do this?Xu Jinman, my friend for so many years, you treat me like this? 】
Song Ronghui: 【Is it you!?What does shutdown mean? 】
Song Ronghui: 【You tell me what you want, what is this?What the hell happened to me, you let me understand!Did you do it! 】
Just like what she guessed, even if Song Ronghui knew that she was the opposite of the Song family, she would not admit so quickly that she did the messy things at the banquet.
After all, she has no evidence yet.
Now is not the time, this is where it is.
Xu Jinman said: "Call her back and say that today is my mother's birthday. I'm going back to Xu's house, and I won't see anyone." In this way, Song Ronghui won't be looking for Shen Shu.
Zhou Pei: "Okay."
Mr. Song didn't dare to ask the Xu family, let alone Song Ronghui.
And these words can ease Song Ronghui's doubts, because every year on Lu Yun's birthday, the original body will go back, and it is true that no one will be seen.
Even phones are turned off prematurely.
At that time, this description was supposed to show the author's love and attention to his mother, but when Xu Jinman read this, he always felt that something was weird.
A rate of return has been dragged to a point with the partner.
It was almost two o'clock when he and Shen Shu arrived at the mall, Xu Jinman didn't eat lunch, and took Shen Shu to buy a hamburger when they arrived at the mall.
"What time is it?" Shen Shu looked at the hamburger on the plate.
"I didn't have time for the meeting, I'm afraid you'll have to wait too long." Xu Jinman handed over the cone in his hand. "Here's a cone for you."
The weather is gloomy today, covering the entire North City in a gloomy state, and the season's sweet cones are the best time to sell.
Shen Shu held it in her hand, and put it into her mouth in small bites, the tip of the ice cream melted on her tongue.
Xu Jinman swallowed the hamburger, his tongue trembled, and he asked casually, "Is it delicious?"
"pretty good."
Xu Jinman wiped his mouth, took a sip of Coke, leaned back slightly, and said, "Vanilla flavor."
Shen Shu was startled, didn't look at her, but turned to the window as usual, but thought in her heart——Xu Jinman is sometimes quite dishonest.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Xu Jinman feels that Shen Shu's ears are pinker than before.
Xu Jinman was belatedly aware when he was about to finish eating.
These words are somewhat misleading - she is saying that Shen Shu's pheromones are delicious.
In the ABO world, saying that an Omega's pheromone is delicious is the same as saying that sleeping with her is very comfortable, you are driving.And the speed is not low.
Xu Jinman touched her forehead, she really didn't mean that.
Shen Shu still had a small half of her cone, but when she was about to get up, the napkin behind her tail slipped off, and the cone drew a beige trace on her white T-shirt.
Both of them froze for a moment, Xu Jinman laughed first, and then gave her the napkin.
After Shen Shu wiped it helplessly, her clothes and jeans were a little wet, and the color was obvious.Especially the pants, relying on the thigh | seam.
"Looks like I have to go buy you one first."
"..."
Shen Shu said that it would be fine when it was done, and Xu Jinman asked her to wait, and then they went out.
When I came back, the clothes had been dried, but there was still a little mark left.
Xu Jinman brought Shen Shu a long dark green slim skirt, which was just below the bend of her legs, revealing her tight and well-proportioned calves.
On the way upstairs, many people looked back at the two of them.
Both Xu Jinman and Shen Shu belong to the type that can attract attention at a glance, and they have different styles.
One is casual and casual, with exquisite and beautiful features, and there is always a faint smile at the corner of the mouth when talking.
A person with a clear temperament and a stunning appearance, but his face is always cold and arrogant.
However, such a collocation is surprisingly harmonious, as if it was ingeniously crafted.
"Holy shit, so beautiful"
"Which one is A?"
"I've seen the one in the green dress, isn't it the one on the hot search before, the beauty in the cheongsam...isn't it?"
"It's kind of like it." A passer-by searched it with his mobile phone, and compared it with the person who just passed by, "Damn it, it really is!!!"
"Ah, I didn't take a picture! Where did they go just now?"
...
"If you think the clothes are too perfunctory, you can buy a brooch to match it yourself." Shen Shu looked at a famous brand store in front: "That one is more suitable for your mother's age."
Xu Jinman thinks this idea is very good. The clothes alone may not be so sincere, but they have to be given away anyway. It is best to make people happy.
Xu Jinman has a good eye for choosing clothes, but she doesn't know what is suitable for Lu Yun's age. In the end, Shen Shu helped her choose an indigo blue dress.
The two went to the jewelry store.
Xu Jinman went to the bathroom, and Shen Shu went to see the types of brooches alone.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Shen Shu?"
Shen Shu turned her head, and a woman with heavy makeup came from the door: "No, should I be called Shen Nv now? Or Beauty Killer?"
I met Chen Baimo at Cai Ying's birthday party before, from the rich second generation circle.
Shen Shu is not familiar with it, but because Cai Ying had a conflict with her at that time, she protected Cai Ying, and this person would embarrass her with words when she met one of the few times afterwards.
Most of the time, Shen Shu would ignore her.
Shen Shu is the same this time, the more she tries to talk to this kind of person, the more enthusiastic she becomes, she turns around and says, "Show me this."
Chen Baimo stepped forward: "Shen Jun said that you have been kicked out by the Shen family. Can your little character earn 1 yuan a month? Still have money to buy jewelry?"
Shen Shu still ignored it.
Chen Baimo continued: "Oh, I almost forgot, you are already married to that prodigal girl Xu Jinman, with your figure you can make some money no matter what."
"Have you talked enough?" Shen Shu's eyes were cold: "I have nothing to do all day, just want to gossip about others, you are really idle."
Chen Baimo's face changed slightly, before he could speak, another voice sounded in the store: "Who am I, so it's my sister-in-law."
Xu Li stepped on the silver high-heeled shoes and entered the door proudly.
"Li Li, people in your family bully me, will you decide for me?" Chen Baimo climbed onto Xu Li's arm.
Xu Li flicked her hand away, warning with his eyes: "People from my family? The Xu family doesn't have such shameless people."
Chen Baimo knew that Xu Li didn't like being touched by others, so he just stood close and said with a sneer, "That's right, I saw that photo too. I was shocked at the time, and thought it was Miss Shen who went into the sea."
The shopping guide on the side looked at the scene worriedly, none of the three people here could be offended by them.
Shen Shu's fingertips tightened slightly, and she took a light breath: "If you two insist on being quick with your tongue, please go ahead."
After she finished speaking, she turned around, and the shopping guide had already taken out the brooch that Shen Shu had mentioned just now.
The shopping guide wearing white gloves introduced nervously: "Miss, you have a good eye. This is our ultimate model. There are only three pieces in total, and now this is the only one left. This is..."
"I want it."
Chen Baimo interrupted the shopping guide, tapped the glass with his fingertips: "Miss Shen, I'm sorry, how about you change it?"
Shen Shu: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Xu Li stood beside Chen Baimo: "Do you mean to threaten my friend? Relying on Xu Jinman's power?"
Shen Shu looked at Xu Li. She knew that Xu Jinman and Xu Li were half-brothers, and the relationship might not be too close, but she didn't expect Xu Li to be so hostile to Xu Jinman.
She suddenly remembered the night when Xu Jinman got drunk, on the top floor of the hotel, what Xu Jinman said, 'Why don't you play with me? '.
With such hostility, what would Xu Jinman's childhood be like?
"Okay, I can give it to you if you like." Shen Shu walked away from the two of them, her gaze was on the jewelry cabinet.
"Let?" Xu Li seemed to have heard a big joke.
Shen Shu said flatly: "Yes, you are Xu Jinman's sister. Although you don't know how to respect people, I have to respect you. After all, my wife has never said anything bad about you in front of me."
After she finished speaking, she pointed to the innermost brooch with diamonds: "Give them that brooch, show me that." She turned her head and said, "Miss Chen, you don't want this, do you? Dear."
When Chen Baimo heard this, his eyes wished to stare at Shen Shu out of the hole: "I want it!"
Xu Li choked back the words to stop her, and she looked at Shen Shu, this woman was obviously aggressive, but forget it, how much is this thing worth.
"It's really courageous." Shen Shu praised: "I'm leaving, why don't you hurry up and wrap it up for Miss Chen."
The subtext——when I leave, people won't buy this thing.
Her tone was always very light, like the sound of water passing by, cold and clean.
No rush, all orderly.
The more this happened, the angrier Chen Baimo became. She snorted coldly: "How much?! These two little things are afraid that I, Chen Baimo, will renege on you?"
The shopping guide immediately said: "Hello, Ms. Chen, the total is 130."
Even Xu Li paused for a moment. To her, the money is not much, but it seems that it is not worth spending more than 100 million.Seeing Shen Shu's indifferent expression, it was obvious that the loser was Chen Baimo.
Chen Baimo doesn't think so. She and Xu Li are incomparable. She thought it was 10,000+, and the card on her body is maxed out, and there is not so much money to spend.
She looked at Xu Li for help.
Xu Li moved away impatiently, and threw a black card at the counter: "It just so happens that today's stepmother's birthday, Xu Jinman, who doesn't have a good face, probably won't give you anything good, so I'll be doing my filial piety."
Stepmother itself is not a derogatory term, but when Xu Li said it in such a tone and manner, it was particularly unpleasant.
She also brought Xu Jinman with her.
Shen Shu lowered her eyes, suppressing the unhappiness in her heart.
Waiting for someone to check in to take the order, Shen Shu walked slowly to the counter, said with a slight smile, "My wife and I thank you for your generosity."
Xu Li frowned.
Chen Baimo also felt wrong when he heard the words: "What do you mean?"
At this moment, Xu Jinman walked in. She had just answered a call from a business partner, but she didn't expect to see Shen Shu facing two wicked women as soon as she entered the door.
She walked over and was about to ask a question, but Shen Shu took the lead and took her hand: "Honey, my sister really took care of us, she made a big order just now."
It was also at this time that the manager came in through the side door and shouted: "Xu, Mr. Xu, you are here."
Chen Baimo: "This store... belongs to you?!"
Xu Jinman recovered from the "dear" and didn't look at other people, only looking at Xu Li's dark, dripping face, and roughly guessed the situation.
"It's not ours, that is, it's a stock." Xu Jinman smiled at Xu Li: "I didn't expect you to be so kind to me, I'm very touched."
Xu Li: "..."
Except for Tong Jia's initial investment in Xu Jinman, almost all of the rest of the money was invested in this jewelry store.The jewelry store was about to close, so she picked it up and redecorated it with a 'famous family' gimmick.
I found a few Internet celebrities and rich second generations to post a wave of publicity on the Internet, and the profits have increased in the past few months.
Xu Li said coldly: "Okay, I'll remember it because you put it together."
After finishing speaking, he left with a sullen face. Chen Baimo could only carry his things and quickly follow.
Before leaving, she glared at Shen Shu: "Don't be complacent!"
Xu Jinman gave him a look, and Chen Baimo didn't dare to say anything. Even if Xu Li was here, she didn't dare to confront Xu Jinman, a lunatic, and hurriedly turned to chase Xu Li.
After the person left, Xu Jinman turned his head and said to the manager, "You don't have to come to work tomorrow."
Hiding at the critical moment, this kind of person is no different from eating plain rice in the store.
After Xu Jinman finished speaking, he felt that the hand on the wrist was pulling back. Xu Jinman grabbed her, lowered his eyebrows and asked seriously: "Did they say anything ugly to you just now?"
Seeing her expression, Shen Shu shook her head and said, "Fortunately, even if there was, I took revenge just now."
Shen Shu was right about this point.
To Xu Li, this little money doesn't matter at all, but if Xu Jinman earns this money, it will be more uncomfortable than letting her die.
Xu Jinman said, "Sorry."
"Why?" Shen Shu raised her head, her eyes were light but pure: "Didn't you say that we are in the same boat?"
Xu Jinman's heart beat suddenly.
Shen Shu slightly hooked her lower lip and said, "Fortunately, you told me in advance, otherwise you might really suffer."
Rarely does she add a particle of mood after the tail.
Xu Jinman thought, maybe Shen Shu didn't know that this would make her words sound a little soft...
It was after four o'clock when the car left the mall. As soon as the car left the basement, Shen Shu received a call from the crew, saying that there was a scene that needed to be retouched.
Xu Jinman offered to send her there, but Shen Shu said, "Find a free space, I'll change clothes."
Xu Jinman's first reaction was, don't you like it?
"It's not good for me to go to the set to wear it like this."
Indeed, the clothes Xu Jinman bought are very nice, but they are not suitable for work, and are more suitable for afternoon tea or a date.
Xu Jinman found a relatively empty place to stop, and it was not convenient to park here, so Xu Jinman raised the middle gear of the car.
Shen Shu changed clothes in the back seat.
The windows were closed, and the interior of the car was completely silent.
Xu Jinman put his hand on the steering wheel and tapped it repeatedly.
The sound of the zipper being unzipped echoed in the air.
The stabbing sound was slow, and there was a slight pause in the middle. Xu Jinman could even guess that Shen Shu was pulling on her back. Because it was inconvenient, she needed to adjust her hand to reach up from below.
Sure enough, after a brief pause, the zipper was pulled to the bottom this time.
Xu Jinman's fingertips stopped in mid-air for a few seconds, and he exhaled slowly, feeling a little dry in his heart.
After Xu Jinman and Shen Shu separated, they drove to Xu's house alone.
Because of the cloudy and rainy day, the sky was already dark before six o'clock. The moment Xu Jinman saw the door, he was a little dazed.
There are actually old-fashioned lanterns hanging, just like the ones hung at the door of wealthy and famous families in the past when they celebrated their birthdays.
Lu Yun was very happy to see Xu Jinman and went out to pick her up.
Xu Jinman asked: "What do you hang lanterns for?"
Lu Yun looked at her strangely: "It's like seeing her for the first time. This is an old tradition of our Xu family."
Xu Jinman nodded, handed her the things in his hand, and said, "Mom, happy birthday."
After receiving the high-end dress with a brooch, Lu Yun's face almost overflowed with joy: "Manman, mom remembers that the last time you gave me a gift was kindergarten, and it's been a long time since you gave mom a gift. I'm so happy. "
When Xu Jinman heard the word kindergarten, she unconsciously thought of that rainy day. She opened her arm, and there were streaks of blood red that hadn't scabbed yet.
The arms seemed to be getting cold and aching.
But she quickly restrained her emotions.
Xu Li came back one step ahead of her, perhaps because he didn't want to see her, so he didn't come down on the second floor.
Xu Jinman walked to the kitchen, where Lu Yun was chatting with the servants. When she saw the unformed food on the table, her hands were itchy, and she said, "Do you need help?"
Lu Yun smiled and said, "What can you do for me?"
One of the servants, who was a little older, also smiled: "I remember that Miss liked to cook when she was young, and she said that she would be a chef and a gourmet in the future."
Xu Jinman's thoughts stopped for a moment, and the original body was actually the same as her childhood dream.
She also wanted to be a gourmet when she was a child, but unfortunately her family is too big to allow such a cynical person to exist.
Lu Yun paused with a smile: "Yes, but Manman is more suitable for business, isn't he Manman? Manman is so smart, cooking is a waste of money."
Xu Jinman replied a few words, and all the thoughts of wanting to help just now disappeared.
After opening the room an hour later, Xu Li came down from upstairs, and reluctantly said happy birthday to Xu Tao in front of Xu Tao.After finishing speaking, he threw away the gift and excused that he had something important to leave.
Xu Tao didn't say a word, and Lu Yun behaved as usual, both of them seemed to be not surprised.
"Come on, let's have a drink as a family." Xu Tao looked normal today, and Xu Jinman was fine thinking about having a drink.
But somehow Xu Tao became interested, the more he drank, the better he felt. He drank a bottle of red wine quickly, and asked Lu Yun to open another bottle.
Xu Jinman checked the time and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xu Tao.
Then he said to Xu Jinman, "Tell me, what's going on with the Song family?"
His face was bloodshot from drinking too much.
Xu Jinman told him the general situation, thought for a while, and then said: "People from the Song family dare to come up with my idea, which means that they don't take the Xu family seriously. This matter is also related to the reputation of the Xu family. That's why I took the Song family directly."
Xu Tao nodded, raised his head and drank another cup: "You did the right thing. Whoever takes the Xu family's face, the Xu family will take his face! The Xu family's face is always the most important, so you know Remember to die!"
Just as Xu Jinman was about to say something, Xu Tao suddenly put down his wine glass heavily: "Come with me to the study."
Xu Jinman asked vigilantly, "What are you doing in the study?"
"Come as soon as I ask you to, there are so many words." Xu Tao said impatiently.
Xu Jinman glanced at Lu Yun, her expression seemed to be holding back something, and after a while, she said, "I'm going to cook a bowl of rescue soup."
What Xu Jinman thought was that even if Xu Tao really wanted to do something, it was impossible for Lu Yun to just ignore her.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, after Shen Shu took a shower, looking at the empty living room, she suddenly felt that the room was as silent as a valley in the middle of the night.
Perhaps it was because after two days of excitement, I felt extraordinarily quiet.
Shen Shu turned off the light in the living room and went back to the bedroom.
After reading a book on the bed for a while, the phone vibrated suddenly, and when I picked it up, it was a message from Cai Ying.
Cai Ying: [Woooooo, I miss you so much, what are you and Xu Jinman doing? 】
Cai Ying: [Shushu, I really want to live with your parents. When I come back, there is no one at home]
Cai Ying: [嘿嘤咱.jpg]
Shen Shu looked at the second sentence, and her heart was slightly touched. For some reason, she glanced at the position beside the bed inexplicably.
Shen Shu: [Xu Jinman is home, and I am alone]
After sending the message, Shen Shu looked at her words and pressed it for a long time, but when she saw the withdrawal, she felt that it was too deliberate.
Just think about it.
Anyway, in Cai Ying's eyes, she and Xu Jinman are real husband and wife.
Cai Ying: [Why didn't she take you back?Or you don't want to go]
In fact, she was still worried that Xu Jinman would let her go to Xu's house together today, just like when they went back to Shen's house together.
However, she didn't say that it was actually for her. None of the people in the Xu family had good intentions for her. It would be difficult for Xu Li today, let alone Lu Yun.
And Xu Tao, whom she has never met herself.
Shen Shu replied: [It's because I don't want to go]
After Shen Shu finished posting, she returned to her circle of friends and saw the financial news posted by someone. Because the title said Xu's family, she clicked on it and took a look.
The following is probably the introduction of Xu Tao and Lu Yun, describing how they love each other, when they met, got married, and so on.
There are also some interviews below, as well as a group photo of the two.
Shen Shu glanced at it, and it happened that Cai Ying sent another message and returned to the chat interface.
His eyes fell on the news that Xu Jinman replied half an hour ago.
Xu Jinman: [Can you help me try? 】
On the way back today, she thought of the possibility of a password. If it wasn't her birthday, would it be some special day?
So after returning home, I sent a message to Xu Jinman: [Ask if there are any special days, such as enrollment day]
After a while, Xu Jinman posted a few elementary school entrance days, middle school entrance days similar to this, probably five or six passwords.Let her try it out.
She tried them all, but none of them worked.
Shen Shu looked at the cipher box next to the bed, pondered for a moment, a few words flashed in her mind, she picked up her phone and found the circle of friends just now.
Flip straight to the back.
Find the anniversaries mentioned by Lu Yun and Xu Tao in the interview.
She put the cipher box on her lap, and tried each number according to the numbers, including the days of acquaintance and first love.
The last one, Shen Shu, has given up hope. After all, it is unlikely that Xu Jinman's cryptex has anything to do with Xu Tao and Lu Yun.
How about a wedding anniversary?
She is also a little whimsical.
Maybe the password is common and not so complicated at all.
Even though she thought so, Shen Shu tried again according to the number of the anniversary, 0323, and sure enough, it didn't work.
She let out a breath, feeling a little lost for some reason.
She was silent for a while, looking at the last string of numbers, 0323, if the 0 was added by the reporter, it might be 3230.
After all, the password only has four numbers.
According to this idea, many previous passwords can be tried again.
Shen Shu intends to try the password at hand first, and press 3230 one by one again.
3.2.3.0
'clatter--'
The cipher box opened in response.
Shen Shu's heart beat heavily with the cryptex, it was a kind of tension.
What is the password hidden by Xu Jinman before?
Shen Shu slowly took it out from the box, and the moment she touched those things, her breathing suddenly tightened, as if someone was strangling her throat.
It was a bunch of photos...
There are about twenty or so.
The photos were taken with Polaroid, each one has Xu Jinman's face, it is Xu Jinman's growth from infancy to adulthood, each body has red welts, or a Bluish purple.
Shen Shu's hands trembled slightly, she picked up the first photo, and the childish and distorted characters on the back of the photo read: Today is my mother's birthday, my father hit me, and my mother is also...
Shen Shu withdrew her gaze from her eyes and said, "You can see for yourself later."
"Oh."
Xu Jinman put his hands on the back of his head, closed his eyes gently, and Shen Shu's clean voice sounded beside his ears: "I have something to ask you, Ren Xiaoqi asked me for your WeChat, can you give it?"
Xu Jinman turned her head: "Who is Ren Xiaoqi?"
Shen Shu: "The last time you had a drink with her at a restaurant, she said she had a good chat with you and wanted to get to know her."
Xu Jinman was silent for two seconds, remembering that there is such a person, she actually has a good memory, but she usually doesn't remember people or things that she is not interested in.
Rejected to the throat, Xu Jinman turned his thoughts and asked, "Then what did you say?"
"I said push your WeChat to her." Adding it is Xu Jinman's business.
Shen Shu paused and said, "Do you want it?"
Xu Jinman: "...so generous."
Shen Shu looked at her sideways.
Xu Jinman's gaze has not been retracted, the two people's gazes meet, and the process seems to have stopped for a moment, but it seems not.
Shen Shu took it back first, and she said: "If you don't want it, I will help you back."
Xu Jinman said: "In the future, this kind of thing will be returned."
She reminded that the marriage must not be hidden, and when Shen Shu became famous in the future, and Xu Jinman was not the kind of low-key person in the past, there might be troubles on the Internet by then.
This was what Tong Jia told her.
She thinks it makes sense.
Who would have thought that after Shen Shu finished listening, she closed the book: "I'm hiding it?"
There was a hint of questioning in the tone, which made people nervous.
Xu Jinman lowered his originally calm tone: "I mean, that day Xia Chun asked if we were friends, but you didn't say anything."
She took it for granted that Shen Shu didn't want everyone to know that they were husband and wife for the time being.
Shen Shu: "You didn't say that either."
At that time, she was not sure whether Xu Jinman wanted her to admit the relationship, so she waited for two seconds.Later, Xia Chunrang went in for dinner together, and Xu Jinman didn't say anything.
Xu Jinman: "..."
Xu Jinman laughed: "They are all from your crew, why am I afraid of admitting the relationship?"
Shen Shu choked.
At that time, they were not so familiar with each other, how could she know what Xu Jinman was thinking.
Similarly, Xu Jinman didn't know what she thought.
Shen Shu said: "Forget it." It's like arguing with a child, what's the point of winning the fight.
These two words are actually without any anger, or emotional fluctuations, and are even softer than the tone just now.
Just wanted to end this topic as usual.
But Xu Jinman became sensitive, the woman said 'forget it', that was a little minded.
Why do you win the fight? I can't bear it.
Xu Jinman watched Shen Shu put the book on the bedside, and didn't plan to read it, and obviously didn't plan to talk about what happened just now.
"Maybe I didn't understand what you meant." Xu Jinman said: "Anyway, as long as you know, I don't mind what you say or do. I also listen to you about marriage. I can do whatever you want. You can do whatever you like."
Shen Shu's hand holding the blanket moved slightly, Xu Jinman's words were sincere, especially the last "as long as you are happy", she had heard it countless times.
Shen Shu briefly went back to think about Xu Jinman's first sentence, which was serious, and she suddenly wanted to laugh.
That kind of joy came from the heart, popping up little by little, Shen Shu thought, she really didn't hate Xu Jinman at all.
This guy is funny sometimes.
Shen Shu: "I don't mind either."
After finishing speaking in a low voice, she slid her body into the blanket, turned her back to Xu Jinman and said, "Remember to turn off the lights when you sleep."
Shen Shu pulled the blanket to her heart, and there was a ray of sunshine in her breath, which was very comfortable and clean.
Looking at her slender back, Xu Jinman gently pulled her lower lip.
She got up a little, reached for the book that Shen Shu put on the table, and saw the name.
Xu Jinman glanced at Shen Shu, it was not "City of Thorns" at all.
The cover reads "Tipping the Velvet", which means "Licking the Velvet".
Original English version.
Sure enough, Shen Shu was implicating her?What does it mean for her?
Xu Jinman was thinking, and while lying down, he flipped through two pages at random. He was originally curious, but he read it unconsciously.
Xu Jinman's reading tastes are very mixed, but he is also very picky.
She also doesn't object to the plot of being greened by jj in the novel. Desire is the desire of human beings, the desire of the body, and the desire of the soul.
It is an instinct and a need.
She will also have this desire, and her body will also respond when she sees some indescribable plots.
Like now.
Books are sometimes twice as effective for the senses as audio, because there is plenty of room for reverie.
' I felt her hand on the wettest part of my body, and she breathed into my ear "Do you like it?" She whispered, "Come in?" The question was so gentle, so brave, I almost Cried……'
Xu Jinman's gland suddenly pricked.
She put down the book, touched her tingling skin, slept under the bed for the past two days, but there was no response, and suddenly she was a little vigilant.
Fortunately, the reaction was not severe and disappeared after a while.
Twenty minutes later, hearing a slight movement on the bed, Xu Jinman got up and turned off the light.
Just touching the glands Xu Jinman couldn't help thinking, when Shen Shu we saw these pictures, would she think the same in her heart?
Probably not.
Goddess of abstinence, why would she think of this.
the next morning.
Shen Shu got up earlier than Xu Jinman, boiled three white eggs, heated up milk, and added three slices of bread with blueberry sauce.
It's simple yet complex.
Cai Ying looked at the nutritious meal on the table, and said to Xu Jinman who had just packed out the room: "Xu Jinman, your wife's best friend begs you, make me an edible breakfast."
Since she returned to China, she seldom eats milk and bread since she tasted Beicheng fried dough sticks, small wontons, tofu soup, and steamed buns.
"What is inedible?" Shen Shu sat in front of Cai Ying and smiled slightly.
Cai Ying looked at the smile, and immediately gave up, and said with a smile: "I can eat it, I can eat it, the breakfast made by Shushu is really delicious."
She took a bite of the bread.
Xu Jinman sat down beside Shen Shu: "You're quick enough."
Cai Ying stared at him, Xu Jinman frowned indifferently, picked up the milk and took a sip: "It's delicious, and the temperature is just right."
Cai Ying wanted to bite the bread as if it was Xu Jinman.
"Okay, let's eat." Shen Shu handed the blueberry sauce to Xu Jinman, and said to Cai Ying, "I talked to your father, and he agreed to change you to a teacher who doesn't look so ordinary."
Before Cai Ying could be happy, Shen Shu said:
"However, you have to wait until you pass this English test."
Cai Ying: "..."
That's over, she didn't learn it at all, just like Xu Jinman said, she couldn't even pass the basics.
Cai Ying turned her attention to Xu Jinman for help.
Xu Jinman doesn't like eating blueberry sauce very much, but he still opened the cover of the sauce, dug out a little bit and spread it on the bread: "You still have half a month, hurry up and make up your lessons."
Cai Ying: "I really can't learn from that teacher... Hey, sister Jinman."
Xu Jinman felt chills down his spine: "...?"
Cai Ying said: "Your strength is more than enough for me to make up lessons. Compared with that tutor, I would rather face you."
Rather, face her, right?
Xu Jinman wiped his mouth, said calmly, "You give up."
Cai Ying: "..."
Shen Shu listened to the two coming and going, like talking about a cross talk, but the bustle of the early morning washed away the gloomy weather outside the house.
Cai Ying received a call from Father Cai early in the morning, and the car to pick her up was waiting downstairs.
After Cai Ying left, Xu Jinman whispered, "My mother's birthday is today, I have to go back to Xu's house."
"Ah."
Xu Jinman hesitated: "I want to buy a gift, do you have any suggestions?"
She is not good at pleasing the elders, and she has never been able to buy gifts in the past. Perhaps she subconsciously felt that Lu Yun might have suffered unfair treatment like the original body, so she also wanted to treat her within the scope of what she could do. better.
She thought about this gift for a long time last night, and she always felt that Lu Yun didn't lack anything.
Seeing her appearance, Shen Shu was silent for a while, and said, "When are you going to buy it?"
Xu Jinman said, "It's afternoon."
In the morning, I have to meet with people from the company, and about the Song family.
"I'm fine this afternoon, I can accompany you to have a look."
Xu Jinman was slightly surprised, and then slightly raised the corners of her lips: "Then I'll come back to pick you up after work?"
Shen Shu responded.
Just the phrase 'come back' gently stirred her nerves.
Sometimes she wondered, did Xu Jinman use these words casually, or did she know what they meant and still use them?
The two went downstairs together, Shen Shu was going to the supermarket, and Xu Jinman was going to the company.
Xu Jinman went to the side of the road, turned to look at Shen Shu: "Send you there?"
Shen Shu glanced at the supermarket not far away, and said, "No, just ahead."
Xu Jinman explained: "Oh, I have never been to the supermarket here."
Shen Shu nodded: "Then I'll go first."
When Xu Jinman got into the car, she saw Shen Shu bent over and patted down her pants. The short white T reached her waist. When she bent over, there was an inch gap between the jeans and the jeans, revealing half of her milky white skin around her waist.
Didn't look much, got in the car.
"Miss, Song Ronghui called me this morning."
"say what?"
"I asked you when you would go to the company today, and said to call you to turn off the phone." Zhou Pei said, "I told her that if you didn't come today, I was worried that she would find Miss Shen."
Xu Jin paused for a moment, but Zhou Pei's words woke her up.
After restarting the phone, I saw several messages, the most of which were from Song Ronghui.
Song Ronghui: [Man, is there a misunderstanding between our family and the Xu family? 】
Song Ronghui: [When you see the news, ask me?My family's warehouse was raided by someone who was the former financial broker of the Xu family. 】
Song Ronghui: [Xu Jinman, did you do it? 】
Up to here, the news was before one o'clock in the morning, Song Ronghui was still calm.
She was obviously agitated in the back.
Song Ronghui: [Why did you do this?Xu Jinman, my friend for so many years, you treat me like this? 】
Song Ronghui: 【Is it you!?What does shutdown mean? 】
Song Ronghui: 【You tell me what you want, what is this?What the hell happened to me, you let me understand!Did you do it! 】
Just like what she guessed, even if Song Ronghui knew that she was the opposite of the Song family, she would not admit so quickly that she did the messy things at the banquet.
After all, she has no evidence yet.
Now is not the time, this is where it is.
Xu Jinman said: "Call her back and say that today is my mother's birthday. I'm going back to Xu's house, and I won't see anyone." In this way, Song Ronghui won't be looking for Shen Shu.
Zhou Pei: "Okay."
Mr. Song didn't dare to ask the Xu family, let alone Song Ronghui.
And these words can ease Song Ronghui's doubts, because every year on Lu Yun's birthday, the original body will go back, and it is true that no one will be seen.
Even phones are turned off prematurely.
At that time, this description was supposed to show the author's love and attention to his mother, but when Xu Jinman read this, he always felt that something was weird.
A rate of return has been dragged to a point with the partner.
It was almost two o'clock when he and Shen Shu arrived at the mall, Xu Jinman didn't eat lunch, and took Shen Shu to buy a hamburger when they arrived at the mall.
"What time is it?" Shen Shu looked at the hamburger on the plate.
"I didn't have time for the meeting, I'm afraid you'll have to wait too long." Xu Jinman handed over the cone in his hand. "Here's a cone for you."
The weather is gloomy today, covering the entire North City in a gloomy state, and the season's sweet cones are the best time to sell.
Shen Shu held it in her hand, and put it into her mouth in small bites, the tip of the ice cream melted on her tongue.
Xu Jinman swallowed the hamburger, his tongue trembled, and he asked casually, "Is it delicious?"
"pretty good."
Xu Jinman wiped his mouth, took a sip of Coke, leaned back slightly, and said, "Vanilla flavor."
Shen Shu was startled, didn't look at her, but turned to the window as usual, but thought in her heart——Xu Jinman is sometimes quite dishonest.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Xu Jinman feels that Shen Shu's ears are pinker than before.
Xu Jinman was belatedly aware when he was about to finish eating.
These words are somewhat misleading - she is saying that Shen Shu's pheromones are delicious.
In the ABO world, saying that an Omega's pheromone is delicious is the same as saying that sleeping with her is very comfortable, you are driving.And the speed is not low.
Xu Jinman touched her forehead, she really didn't mean that.
Shen Shu still had a small half of her cone, but when she was about to get up, the napkin behind her tail slipped off, and the cone drew a beige trace on her white T-shirt.
Both of them froze for a moment, Xu Jinman laughed first, and then gave her the napkin.
After Shen Shu wiped it helplessly, her clothes and jeans were a little wet, and the color was obvious.Especially the pants, relying on the thigh | seam.
"Looks like I have to go buy you one first."
"..."
Shen Shu said that it would be fine when it was done, and Xu Jinman asked her to wait, and then they went out.
When I came back, the clothes had been dried, but there was still a little mark left.
Xu Jinman brought Shen Shu a long dark green slim skirt, which was just below the bend of her legs, revealing her tight and well-proportioned calves.
On the way upstairs, many people looked back at the two of them.
Both Xu Jinman and Shen Shu belong to the type that can attract attention at a glance, and they have different styles.
One is casual and casual, with exquisite and beautiful features, and there is always a faint smile at the corner of the mouth when talking.
A person with a clear temperament and a stunning appearance, but his face is always cold and arrogant.
However, such a collocation is surprisingly harmonious, as if it was ingeniously crafted.
"Holy shit, so beautiful"
"Which one is A?"
"I've seen the one in the green dress, isn't it the one on the hot search before, the beauty in the cheongsam...isn't it?"
"It's kind of like it." A passer-by searched it with his mobile phone, and compared it with the person who just passed by, "Damn it, it really is!!!"
"Ah, I didn't take a picture! Where did they go just now?"
...
"If you think the clothes are too perfunctory, you can buy a brooch to match it yourself." Shen Shu looked at a famous brand store in front: "That one is more suitable for your mother's age."
Xu Jinman thinks this idea is very good. The clothes alone may not be so sincere, but they have to be given away anyway. It is best to make people happy.
Xu Jinman has a good eye for choosing clothes, but she doesn't know what is suitable for Lu Yun's age. In the end, Shen Shu helped her choose an indigo blue dress.
The two went to the jewelry store.
Xu Jinman went to the bathroom, and Shen Shu went to see the types of brooches alone.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Shen Shu?"
Shen Shu turned her head, and a woman with heavy makeup came from the door: "No, should I be called Shen Nv now? Or Beauty Killer?"
I met Chen Baimo at Cai Ying's birthday party before, from the rich second generation circle.
Shen Shu is not familiar with it, but because Cai Ying had a conflict with her at that time, she protected Cai Ying, and this person would embarrass her with words when she met one of the few times afterwards.
Most of the time, Shen Shu would ignore her.
Shen Shu is the same this time, the more she tries to talk to this kind of person, the more enthusiastic she becomes, she turns around and says, "Show me this."
Chen Baimo stepped forward: "Shen Jun said that you have been kicked out by the Shen family. Can your little character earn 1 yuan a month? Still have money to buy jewelry?"
Shen Shu still ignored it.
Chen Baimo continued: "Oh, I almost forgot, you are already married to that prodigal girl Xu Jinman, with your figure you can make some money no matter what."
"Have you talked enough?" Shen Shu's eyes were cold: "I have nothing to do all day, just want to gossip about others, you are really idle."
Chen Baimo's face changed slightly, before he could speak, another voice sounded in the store: "Who am I, so it's my sister-in-law."
Xu Li stepped on the silver high-heeled shoes and entered the door proudly.
"Li Li, people in your family bully me, will you decide for me?" Chen Baimo climbed onto Xu Li's arm.
Xu Li flicked her hand away, warning with his eyes: "People from my family? The Xu family doesn't have such shameless people."
Chen Baimo knew that Xu Li didn't like being touched by others, so he just stood close and said with a sneer, "That's right, I saw that photo too. I was shocked at the time, and thought it was Miss Shen who went into the sea."
The shopping guide on the side looked at the scene worriedly, none of the three people here could be offended by them.
Shen Shu's fingertips tightened slightly, and she took a light breath: "If you two insist on being quick with your tongue, please go ahead."
After she finished speaking, she turned around, and the shopping guide had already taken out the brooch that Shen Shu had mentioned just now.
The shopping guide wearing white gloves introduced nervously: "Miss, you have a good eye. This is our ultimate model. There are only three pieces in total, and now this is the only one left. This is..."
"I want it."
Chen Baimo interrupted the shopping guide, tapped the glass with his fingertips: "Miss Shen, I'm sorry, how about you change it?"
Shen Shu: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Xu Li stood beside Chen Baimo: "Do you mean to threaten my friend? Relying on Xu Jinman's power?"
Shen Shu looked at Xu Li. She knew that Xu Jinman and Xu Li were half-brothers, and the relationship might not be too close, but she didn't expect Xu Li to be so hostile to Xu Jinman.
She suddenly remembered the night when Xu Jinman got drunk, on the top floor of the hotel, what Xu Jinman said, 'Why don't you play with me? '.
With such hostility, what would Xu Jinman's childhood be like?
"Okay, I can give it to you if you like." Shen Shu walked away from the two of them, her gaze was on the jewelry cabinet.
"Let?" Xu Li seemed to have heard a big joke.
Shen Shu said flatly: "Yes, you are Xu Jinman's sister. Although you don't know how to respect people, I have to respect you. After all, my wife has never said anything bad about you in front of me."
After she finished speaking, she pointed to the innermost brooch with diamonds: "Give them that brooch, show me that." She turned her head and said, "Miss Chen, you don't want this, do you? Dear."
When Chen Baimo heard this, his eyes wished to stare at Shen Shu out of the hole: "I want it!"
Xu Li choked back the words to stop her, and she looked at Shen Shu, this woman was obviously aggressive, but forget it, how much is this thing worth.
"It's really courageous." Shen Shu praised: "I'm leaving, why don't you hurry up and wrap it up for Miss Chen."
The subtext——when I leave, people won't buy this thing.
Her tone was always very light, like the sound of water passing by, cold and clean.
No rush, all orderly.
The more this happened, the angrier Chen Baimo became. She snorted coldly: "How much?! These two little things are afraid that I, Chen Baimo, will renege on you?"
The shopping guide immediately said: "Hello, Ms. Chen, the total is 130."
Even Xu Li paused for a moment. To her, the money is not much, but it seems that it is not worth spending more than 100 million.Seeing Shen Shu's indifferent expression, it was obvious that the loser was Chen Baimo.
Chen Baimo doesn't think so. She and Xu Li are incomparable. She thought it was 10,000+, and the card on her body is maxed out, and there is not so much money to spend.
She looked at Xu Li for help.
Xu Li moved away impatiently, and threw a black card at the counter: "It just so happens that today's stepmother's birthday, Xu Jinman, who doesn't have a good face, probably won't give you anything good, so I'll be doing my filial piety."
Stepmother itself is not a derogatory term, but when Xu Li said it in such a tone and manner, it was particularly unpleasant.
She also brought Xu Jinman with her.
Shen Shu lowered her eyes, suppressing the unhappiness in her heart.
Waiting for someone to check in to take the order, Shen Shu walked slowly to the counter, said with a slight smile, "My wife and I thank you for your generosity."
Xu Li frowned.
Chen Baimo also felt wrong when he heard the words: "What do you mean?"
At this moment, Xu Jinman walked in. She had just answered a call from a business partner, but she didn't expect to see Shen Shu facing two wicked women as soon as she entered the door.
She walked over and was about to ask a question, but Shen Shu took the lead and took her hand: "Honey, my sister really took care of us, she made a big order just now."
It was also at this time that the manager came in through the side door and shouted: "Xu, Mr. Xu, you are here."
Chen Baimo: "This store... belongs to you?!"
Xu Jinman recovered from the "dear" and didn't look at other people, only looking at Xu Li's dark, dripping face, and roughly guessed the situation.
"It's not ours, that is, it's a stock." Xu Jinman smiled at Xu Li: "I didn't expect you to be so kind to me, I'm very touched."
Xu Li: "..."
Except for Tong Jia's initial investment in Xu Jinman, almost all of the rest of the money was invested in this jewelry store.The jewelry store was about to close, so she picked it up and redecorated it with a 'famous family' gimmick.
I found a few Internet celebrities and rich second generations to post a wave of publicity on the Internet, and the profits have increased in the past few months.
Xu Li said coldly: "Okay, I'll remember it because you put it together."
After finishing speaking, he left with a sullen face. Chen Baimo could only carry his things and quickly follow.
Before leaving, she glared at Shen Shu: "Don't be complacent!"
Xu Jinman gave him a look, and Chen Baimo didn't dare to say anything. Even if Xu Li was here, she didn't dare to confront Xu Jinman, a lunatic, and hurriedly turned to chase Xu Li.
After the person left, Xu Jinman turned his head and said to the manager, "You don't have to come to work tomorrow."
Hiding at the critical moment, this kind of person is no different from eating plain rice in the store.
After Xu Jinman finished speaking, he felt that the hand on the wrist was pulling back. Xu Jinman grabbed her, lowered his eyebrows and asked seriously: "Did they say anything ugly to you just now?"
Seeing her expression, Shen Shu shook her head and said, "Fortunately, even if there was, I took revenge just now."
Shen Shu was right about this point.
To Xu Li, this little money doesn't matter at all, but if Xu Jinman earns this money, it will be more uncomfortable than letting her die.
Xu Jinman said, "Sorry."
"Why?" Shen Shu raised her head, her eyes were light but pure: "Didn't you say that we are in the same boat?"
Xu Jinman's heart beat suddenly.
Shen Shu slightly hooked her lower lip and said, "Fortunately, you told me in advance, otherwise you might really suffer."
Rarely does she add a particle of mood after the tail.
Xu Jinman thought, maybe Shen Shu didn't know that this would make her words sound a little soft...
It was after four o'clock when the car left the mall. As soon as the car left the basement, Shen Shu received a call from the crew, saying that there was a scene that needed to be retouched.
Xu Jinman offered to send her there, but Shen Shu said, "Find a free space, I'll change clothes."
Xu Jinman's first reaction was, don't you like it?
"It's not good for me to go to the set to wear it like this."
Indeed, the clothes Xu Jinman bought are very nice, but they are not suitable for work, and are more suitable for afternoon tea or a date.
Xu Jinman found a relatively empty place to stop, and it was not convenient to park here, so Xu Jinman raised the middle gear of the car.
Shen Shu changed clothes in the back seat.
The windows were closed, and the interior of the car was completely silent.
Xu Jinman put his hand on the steering wheel and tapped it repeatedly.
The sound of the zipper being unzipped echoed in the air.
The stabbing sound was slow, and there was a slight pause in the middle. Xu Jinman could even guess that Shen Shu was pulling on her back. Because it was inconvenient, she needed to adjust her hand to reach up from below.
Sure enough, after a brief pause, the zipper was pulled to the bottom this time.
Xu Jinman's fingertips stopped in mid-air for a few seconds, and he exhaled slowly, feeling a little dry in his heart.
After Xu Jinman and Shen Shu separated, they drove to Xu's house alone.
Because of the cloudy and rainy day, the sky was already dark before six o'clock. The moment Xu Jinman saw the door, he was a little dazed.
There are actually old-fashioned lanterns hanging, just like the ones hung at the door of wealthy and famous families in the past when they celebrated their birthdays.
Lu Yun was very happy to see Xu Jinman and went out to pick her up.
Xu Jinman asked: "What do you hang lanterns for?"
Lu Yun looked at her strangely: "It's like seeing her for the first time. This is an old tradition of our Xu family."
Xu Jinman nodded, handed her the things in his hand, and said, "Mom, happy birthday."
After receiving the high-end dress with a brooch, Lu Yun's face almost overflowed with joy: "Manman, mom remembers that the last time you gave me a gift was kindergarten, and it's been a long time since you gave mom a gift. I'm so happy. "
When Xu Jinman heard the word kindergarten, she unconsciously thought of that rainy day. She opened her arm, and there were streaks of blood red that hadn't scabbed yet.
The arms seemed to be getting cold and aching.
But she quickly restrained her emotions.
Xu Li came back one step ahead of her, perhaps because he didn't want to see her, so he didn't come down on the second floor.
Xu Jinman walked to the kitchen, where Lu Yun was chatting with the servants. When she saw the unformed food on the table, her hands were itchy, and she said, "Do you need help?"
Lu Yun smiled and said, "What can you do for me?"
One of the servants, who was a little older, also smiled: "I remember that Miss liked to cook when she was young, and she said that she would be a chef and a gourmet in the future."
Xu Jinman's thoughts stopped for a moment, and the original body was actually the same as her childhood dream.
She also wanted to be a gourmet when she was a child, but unfortunately her family is too big to allow such a cynical person to exist.
Lu Yun paused with a smile: "Yes, but Manman is more suitable for business, isn't he Manman? Manman is so smart, cooking is a waste of money."
Xu Jinman replied a few words, and all the thoughts of wanting to help just now disappeared.
After opening the room an hour later, Xu Li came down from upstairs, and reluctantly said happy birthday to Xu Tao in front of Xu Tao.After finishing speaking, he threw away the gift and excused that he had something important to leave.
Xu Tao didn't say a word, and Lu Yun behaved as usual, both of them seemed to be not surprised.
"Come on, let's have a drink as a family." Xu Tao looked normal today, and Xu Jinman was fine thinking about having a drink.
But somehow Xu Tao became interested, the more he drank, the better he felt. He drank a bottle of red wine quickly, and asked Lu Yun to open another bottle.
Xu Jinman checked the time and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xu Tao.
Then he said to Xu Jinman, "Tell me, what's going on with the Song family?"
His face was bloodshot from drinking too much.
Xu Jinman told him the general situation, thought for a while, and then said: "People from the Song family dare to come up with my idea, which means that they don't take the Xu family seriously. This matter is also related to the reputation of the Xu family. That's why I took the Song family directly."
Xu Tao nodded, raised his head and drank another cup: "You did the right thing. Whoever takes the Xu family's face, the Xu family will take his face! The Xu family's face is always the most important, so you know Remember to die!"
Just as Xu Jinman was about to say something, Xu Tao suddenly put down his wine glass heavily: "Come with me to the study."
Xu Jinman asked vigilantly, "What are you doing in the study?"
"Come as soon as I ask you to, there are so many words." Xu Tao said impatiently.
Xu Jinman glanced at Lu Yun, her expression seemed to be holding back something, and after a while, she said, "I'm going to cook a bowl of rescue soup."
What Xu Jinman thought was that even if Xu Tao really wanted to do something, it was impossible for Lu Yun to just ignore her.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, after Shen Shu took a shower, looking at the empty living room, she suddenly felt that the room was as silent as a valley in the middle of the night.
Perhaps it was because after two days of excitement, I felt extraordinarily quiet.
Shen Shu turned off the light in the living room and went back to the bedroom.
After reading a book on the bed for a while, the phone vibrated suddenly, and when I picked it up, it was a message from Cai Ying.
Cai Ying: [Woooooo, I miss you so much, what are you and Xu Jinman doing? 】
Cai Ying: [Shushu, I really want to live with your parents. When I come back, there is no one at home]
Cai Ying: [嘿嘤咱.jpg]
Shen Shu looked at the second sentence, and her heart was slightly touched. For some reason, she glanced at the position beside the bed inexplicably.
Shen Shu: [Xu Jinman is home, and I am alone]
After sending the message, Shen Shu looked at her words and pressed it for a long time, but when she saw the withdrawal, she felt that it was too deliberate.
Just think about it.
Anyway, in Cai Ying's eyes, she and Xu Jinman are real husband and wife.
Cai Ying: [Why didn't she take you back?Or you don't want to go]
In fact, she was still worried that Xu Jinman would let her go to Xu's house together today, just like when they went back to Shen's house together.
However, she didn't say that it was actually for her. None of the people in the Xu family had good intentions for her. It would be difficult for Xu Li today, let alone Lu Yun.
And Xu Tao, whom she has never met herself.
Shen Shu replied: [It's because I don't want to go]
After Shen Shu finished posting, she returned to her circle of friends and saw the financial news posted by someone. Because the title said Xu's family, she clicked on it and took a look.
The following is probably the introduction of Xu Tao and Lu Yun, describing how they love each other, when they met, got married, and so on.
There are also some interviews below, as well as a group photo of the two.
Shen Shu glanced at it, and it happened that Cai Ying sent another message and returned to the chat interface.
His eyes fell on the news that Xu Jinman replied half an hour ago.
Xu Jinman: [Can you help me try? 】
On the way back today, she thought of the possibility of a password. If it wasn't her birthday, would it be some special day?
So after returning home, I sent a message to Xu Jinman: [Ask if there are any special days, such as enrollment day]
After a while, Xu Jinman posted a few elementary school entrance days, middle school entrance days similar to this, probably five or six passwords.Let her try it out.
She tried them all, but none of them worked.
Shen Shu looked at the cipher box next to the bed, pondered for a moment, a few words flashed in her mind, she picked up her phone and found the circle of friends just now.
Flip straight to the back.
Find the anniversaries mentioned by Lu Yun and Xu Tao in the interview.
She put the cipher box on her lap, and tried each number according to the numbers, including the days of acquaintance and first love.
The last one, Shen Shu, has given up hope. After all, it is unlikely that Xu Jinman's cryptex has anything to do with Xu Tao and Lu Yun.
How about a wedding anniversary?
She is also a little whimsical.
Maybe the password is common and not so complicated at all.
Even though she thought so, Shen Shu tried again according to the number of the anniversary, 0323, and sure enough, it didn't work.
She let out a breath, feeling a little lost for some reason.
She was silent for a while, looking at the last string of numbers, 0323, if the 0 was added by the reporter, it might be 3230.
After all, the password only has four numbers.
According to this idea, many previous passwords can be tried again.
Shen Shu intends to try the password at hand first, and press 3230 one by one again.
3.2.3.0
'clatter--'
The cipher box opened in response.
Shen Shu's heart beat heavily with the cryptex, it was a kind of tension.
What is the password hidden by Xu Jinman before?
Shen Shu slowly took it out from the box, and the moment she touched those things, her breathing suddenly tightened, as if someone was strangling her throat.
It was a bunch of photos...
There are about twenty or so.
The photos were taken with Polaroid, each one has Xu Jinman's face, it is Xu Jinman's growth from infancy to adulthood, each body has red welts, or a Bluish purple.
Shen Shu's hands trembled slightly, she picked up the first photo, and the childish and distorted characters on the back of the photo read: Today is my mother's birthday, my father hit me, and my mother is also...
