After dealing with lawyer Wang's affairs, Gu Yueqing left the law firm with Zhang Ye.

"Since the matter has already started, there is no room for us to turn back, but we must keep this matter a secret, and don't startle the snake."

On the way back, a ruthless look flashed in Gu Yueqing's eyes.What Gu Changhai owed their family, he wanted to repay it twice as much.

……
In the evening of the same day, at the Victoria Hotel, Shi Sheng waited early in the box he had reserved.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, Reed's figure slowly appeared at the door.

She finally found an excuse to ask Reed out, and she must ask about today's meal.

Since Gu Yueqing refused to tell herself, she could only investigate it herself.

"Mr. Reed, good evening." Shi Sheng's dignified expression immediately changed into a polite smile, he got up from his chair, walked to Reed's side, and stretched out his hand towards him.

Reed returned a friendly salute, shook hands with Shi Sheng politely, and the two sat down together.

Shi Sheng was polite to Reed for a while, and when the food was served, she picked up a piece of the hotel's signature special Dongpo pork and put it on the plate in front of Reed.

"Try it, this is a new product in the restaurant, it should taste very good."

Somewhat unaccustomed to it, Reed picked up the piece of meat on the plate, put it in his mouth and bit it lightly: "en, nice!"

The special smell of meat permeated Reed's tongue.

The two of them ate almost the same, and chatted about a lot of miscellaneous things. Seeing that the time was ripe, Shi Sheng decided to start asking what he wanted to ask.

Shi Sheng got up and poured the fine Moutai on the table into Reed's cup. She had already made a plan. If Reed refused to say anything today, she would get him drunk. Will tell the truth inadvertently.

"When it's over, boss, I can't drink liquor."

Seeing Sheng kept pouring wine for himself, Reed quickly waved his hand. As a foreigner, he really couldn't bear such high-grade baijiu in China.

"The business we partnered with has been so successful, we should drink some wine to celebrate. Could it be... Mr. Reed looks down on me as a mere girl?"

Knowing that Reed would definitely reject her, Shi Sheng began to use aggressive methods, and as expected, Reed was afraid that Shi Sheng might misunderstand her meaning, so he picked up the wine glass with a bitter face, and drank the wine in the glass. do.

"I didn't expect Mr. Reed to be such a bold and unrestrained person. I really underestimated you. This glass of wine will be regarded as my apology, and I will do it too."

Shi Sheng pretended to be embarrassed and smiled, picked up the wine glass that was also full on the table, raised his head and drank it down.

Throughout the night, Shi Sheng kept urging Reed to drink, but her kindness was irresistible, and Reed was really too strong to drink, and Shi Sheng succeeded in getting drunk in the end.

Looking at Reed, who was blushing and wobbly even holding a glass, Shi Sheng knew that he had achieved his goal.

Time to get down to business.

"Mr. Reed, there is one thing I haven't figured out so far. I want to take advantage of this meal to ask you today."

Shi Sheng began to get to the point gradually.

"What...what's the matter, you can just ask." Reid's cheeks were flushed, and his Chinese had begun to be slurred, and he seemed to have become messy for a while.

"Why did you invest in me at the beginning? I have been rejected by so many investment companies, but you didn't ask anything, and you didn't even know what my project was, so you just called me 1000 Wan, this is what I've always wondered about."

Shi Sheng quietly turned on the recording pen and put it under the table. Anyway, there was no one else in the venue, and Reid was already drunk like this. She didn't believe that she couldn't tell the truth.

Ever since Reid inquired about the relationship between himself and Gu Yueqing from the side last time, Shi Sheng had already begun to doubt Reed's identity.

Although it was a woman's intuition, Shi Sheng still felt that there must be something tricky in it.

"To... invest in you? Actually, I don't know why I want to invest in you, but I just do it according to his request." Reed looked at Shi Sheng with somewhat confused eyes. Under the influence of alcohol, Shi Sheng in front of him Sheng seemed to have become two, and his eyes began to blur.

"Whose request?" Hearing Reed's words, Shi Sheng was startled. In this way, there are really other hidden secrets in this matter of investment.

"This...I can't tell you this, this is a secret between Gu Yueqing and me."

The question Shi Sheng asked made Reed vigilant, and he said to Shi Sheng solemnly with his eyes wide open.

"...Puff"

After listening to Reed's words, Xiao Li, who was sitting beside Shi Sheng, almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Why are you laughing?" Shi Sheng turned his head and gave Xiao Li a hard look, but Shi Sheng was not surprised by Reed's answer.

In this way, it matches the document that I saw in Gu Yueqing's office last time.

"Then what is your relationship with him?"

Shi Sheng wanted to ask some more questions, but Reed talked away from her. She watched Reed chattering in front of her helplessly, and didn't ask any more questions.

Although she knew that it was really despicable for her to do so, it was Shi Sheng's powerless method. As long as it was something she wanted to know, no one could keep her from it.

"Okay, this is the end of today's meal. Mr. Reed is already drunk. You go to the front desk and open a room. Be sure to send Mr. Reed to the room safely."

Shi Sheng stood up unsteadily from the chair, killed one thousand enemies, and self-destructed eight hundred. Shi Sheng's consciousness was also washed away by alcohol and began to become unconscious. She had to go home before completely losing her mind.

The reason why she chose this hotel is because the hotel and the guest room are integrated, and if Reed is really drunk, she doesn't have to bother to find Reed's home address.

After Shi Sheng turned around and explained all precautions to Xiao Li, he left the hotel.

On a winter night, the wind was bitingly cool, and there were not many passers-by on the road. Only the street lamp above her head accompanied her alone. Shi Sheng stood unsteadily at the hotel entrance, holding the recording pen tightly in her hand. and car keys.

The car couldn't continue to drive, so she simply found a substitute driver and drove herself home. When they got home, Xixi and Mo Yuqian were still awake.

"Why did you come back so late?" Hearing the sound of the entrance door opening, Mo Yuqian hastily put down his work and greeted the entrance door. As soon as Shi Sheng entered the door, a strong smell of alcohol rushed over his face.

"Did you go out to drink?" Mo Yuqian hurriedly stepped forward to support Shi Sheng who was swaying in high heels, and frowned tightly.

"Mom, my mother is back!"

When Xixi heard the sound of the door opening, she also bounced and ran towards Shi Sheng happily. Shi Sheng didn't answer Mo Yuqian's question directly, but turned her head and picked Xixi up from the ground, and hugged Xixi on Xixi's face. A kiss fell.

"Mom, your body smells so bad, Xixi hates this smell!"

Xixi also smelled the smell of alcohol on Shi Sheng's body, struggling to jump out of her arms, Mo Yuqian hurried forward and hugged Xixi from Shi Sheng's hand.

"Nanny, it's time for Xixi to go to bed, go and hug the baby and put him to sleep."

Seeing Shi Sheng's appearance, Mo Yuqian turned around and led Xixi to the nanny. Such things are not for children to participate in.

After sending Xixi back to the room, Mo Yuqian returned to the living room and found Shi Sheng already slumped on the sofa.

"Did you go out drinking tonight?"

Mo Yuqian adjusted his complicated emotions, and then sat next to Shi Sheng, his tone remained gentle, but with a little more concern.

"Well, drink with a client." Shi Sheng did not deny Mo Yuqian's cross-examination, she was half lying on the soft sofa with her head up, her body was exhausted.

"...I'll drink for you from now on." Mo Yuqian looked at Shi Sheng's delicate profile, his long eyelashes flickering slightly, like two small fans, and the delicate but somewhat thick makeup was on the same level General.

He felt more and more that the woman in front of him was becoming strange, not like Shi Sheng before.

"What? You go drink for me? Don't be ridiculous, can you live for me?" When Shi Sheng heard Mo Yuqian's words in a half-awake and half-confused state, he showed an extremely bitter smile. How hard it is, only she herself understands.

For some reason, after hearing what Mo Yuqian said to him, Shi Sheng's negative emotions gradually became uncontrollable and overflowed.

"I……"

Mo Yuqian didn't know how to answer Shi Sheng, he knew that the woman in front of him seemed to be drunk.

"I was abandoned by my parents as long as I can remember. I grew up in an orphanage. I lived alone without the care of my parents. For a young master like you who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, you can also replace me for such a miserable life. To bear it?"

Facing Mo Yuqian's sudden silence, Shi Sheng suddenly turned her head without warning. She stared at Mo Yuqian firmly, her whole body was surrounded by suppressed emotions, and every word she spoke was extraordinarily beautiful. harsh.

When Mo Yuqian met Shi Sheng's eyes, he realized for the first time what it means to be "overwhelmed".He didn't know that his words would bring such great emotion to Shi Sheng. He opened his mouth and moved his Adam's apple, but he didn't make a sound after all.

The air seemed to freeze, and it began to become awkward. Their eyes met, but there was no spark.

"I'm sorry." It took Mo Yuqian a long time to spit out these three words. Although he didn't know what he did wrong, but looking very uncomfortable, he felt that he was wrong.
