To Raise a Soul

"Little Liu, do you know Minister Yu from Jin Jiang?"

Liu Xianxian's boss came over to inquire, and he, who was always indifferent to newcomers, suddenly became kind and cordial. envious.

Now who doesn't know that the little proprietress Yu Zhen is the big treasure of the Yin family. Not only does she take the position of the little proprietress as soon as she appears, but also every time she appears, the little proprietress Yin Yan personally sends in and out. It must be watertight.

A few years ago, Jinjiang specially arranged a leisure center project for the young boss and his wife to practice their hands. Now that the project is coming to an end, and there is no word on where the little boss will go next, Xiangfei first arranged a high-end perfume series for the little boss. , the degree of attention can be seen.

I heard that there was a small intern at Jinjiang who seemed to know the little proprietress. He said a few more words, and even the translation was reused. The talented person hired by a lot of money, Deputy Manager Chi Nanchi, became an assistant.

And a certain minister in the leisure hall project team who always picks Yu Zhen's nose and eyes and makes small talk behind his back was transferred to the branch office before the leisure hall project was over.

Now everyone is secretly spreading the word that whoever falls into the eyes of the little proprietress will directly show his face to the chairman on both sides.It's a pity that this little lady boss is too low-key, she doesn't come to the company very often, and she always sticks with the little boss, so people have no chance to get close to her.

Now seeing another person who appears to be acquainted with the little proprietress appear, how can everyone not be distracted.

Although Liu Xianxian was young, and acted very immature and reserved in front of Yu Zhen, how could he be an idiot if he could join Xiangfei and follow his boss into Qiu Feiqian's office to report on work.

When she heard the boss's question, she had a strange expression and eyes. With a thought, she fastened the business card on the document page, suppressed the surprise and doubt in her heart, followed his words and replied with a smile: "I will do it with Minister Yu." My classmate after a while, he was very nice and took good care of me at that time.”

"I used to be a classmate... Yes, I heard that you also came back from abroad, and the overseas Chinese circle is not big..." The boss echoed with envy and jealousy, and suddenly looked her up and down strangely, and said: " I advise you not to approach Minister Yu casually. The eldest son of our chairman is a food protector. If you see unrelated people sticking to Minister Yu, if you and Minister Yu are just acquaintances, you'd better be sensible. , it’s better to stay at the nodding stage.”

The words were so sour, Liu Xianxian's doubts were on the surface, but he didn't show it on his face, and replied: "Thank you for the manager's advice, then what, manager, I'm still waiting for documents, I'll go first?"

"go Go."

The boss waved his hand and watched her leave with the documents, then looked back at the door of the chairman's office, straightened her cuffs, and left.

In the office, Qiu Feiqian carefully unwrapped the box Yu Zhen handed over, and opened it gently.

A light and slightly astringent smell with a faint medicinal fragrance slowly spread. Qiu Feiqian frowned when she smelled it, but after getting used to the medicinal fragrance, she felt that the more she smelled it, the more she wanted to smell it, and she even faintly smelled it from the medicinal fragrance. A moisturizing and soothing scent.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but after smelling different scents, her mind, which was a little swollen from the meeting, seemed to relax slowly as the scent slowed down.

"This smell... well, it's rich in layers, and it smells pleasant." She praised appreciatively, and then carefully looked at the appearance of the roses in the box, then immediately let out a low cry, and reached out to touch the layers of roses in the box. Blooming petals, love is beyond words.

"This is a new variety?" She smiled unconsciously, carefully took out a rose and looked at it carefully, and found that it was not only larger than regular roses, but also had many more layers of petals than regular roses. Very graceful and luxurious.

Most importantly, the color is so pretty!

Every woman has a little princess in her heart. Qiu Feiqian usually looks snappy and neat, and only chooses neat and cool colors for her clothes, but she actually likes these delicate colors very much in her heart, and feels good after seeing them.

"It's beautiful! The pink color is so soft, and it's not tacky at all! Is this really what you cultivated, Xiaozhen?"

Seeing that she liked it, Yu Zhen couldn't help showing a smile on his face, nodded and replied: "This flower has just been cultivated not long ago, and there are relatively few mature plants, so I only cut these few flowers. If Mom likes it, I will I'll bring you a potted flower tree later."

These flowers are mixed with medicinal herbs, and the fragrance of the flowers is good for the body after a long time.Recently, he is planning to get some flowers and plants to decorate the Yin family's office and give them a refreshment.

Qiu Feiqian was moved by the words, touched the delicate petals of the rose in her hand, thought about it, and shook her head to reject his suggestion, saying: "No, it's not easy for you to cultivate a pot of flowers, so mom just looks good, you move here and I I don’t know how to take care of it, so don’t spoil it for you.”

"It's okay, this flower is very easy to grow, just water it regularly and let it shine in the sun. I have several pots, and it doesn't matter if I bring you a pot. Besides, this flower is not always here for you. When it blooms and fades , it’s not good, I have to move back.”

The flowers can keep blooming in the pots, but they can't be moved out. In order not to make the flowers look too weird, he has to move them back to "maintain" for a period of time and cover them up.

Hearing what he said, Qiu Feiqian couldn't match her love for this rose, and she could not help but praise him for a long time after he accepted the matter of bringing the flowers here, and continued to look at the roses in the box until he was embarrassed by the words. other gifts.

Unknowingly, half an hour passed, Qiu Feiqian admired and praised every gift, and even prepared to make some rose tea on the spot. Fortunately, Yin Hexiang called in time, otherwise I would have spent an entire afternoon looking at it. The presents are here.

The scented tea was not finished, Qiu Feiqian was not reconciled, took out all the roses before going out, tied them with ribbons and held them in her arms, carried perfume and other things in a small bag in her hands, and threw her own bag to Yin Yan After repeatedly confirming that everything was conspicuous enough, he showed a reserved smile and left the office door with a gift in his arms.

"Hey, the flowers in the chairman's arms are so beautiful. Who gave them them? Could it be a gift of love from our chairman Yin?" As soon as he turned into the public office area outside, a veteran director who was very popular with Qiu Feiqian joked He opened his mouth, and the question he asked happened to scratch Qiu Feiqian's heart.

Qiu Feiqian glanced at her with a smile, picked the flowers in her bosom, and replied: "He Xiang would not give such a thoughtful gift, this flower was given by my Xiaozhen, look at this rose, it is a new variety cultivated by him Well, there are these perfumes and so on, all of which are made by him himself, and he said it was a Mother’s Day gift for me. Hey, you see so many things, it’s really hard for a boy like him to make these for me. Alright Alright, let’s not talk anymore, I’m taking the children to dinner, you guys go to dinner too, let’s go.”

Seeing that Qiu Feiqian was in a good mood, the elders booed immediately. Seeing that Qiu Feiqian was in a good mood, they also booed.

Yu Zhen had never seen this kind of "showing off" scene before, and was blushed by the crowd's uproar, so embarrassed that she hid behind Yin Yan secretly, trying to reduce her sense of presence.

But Qiu Feiqian refused to let him hide, and insisted on pulling him to her side, under the pretense of asking him to help carry the perfume, but in fact she was showing off.

Just like that all the way out of the Xiangfei headquarters, before Yin Yan's car drove out of the headquarters, the news that the little proprietress gave the chairman a handful of new roses and homemade perfume spread throughout the company.

Listening to the gossip of his colleagues, Liu Xianxian got up and turned to the tea room, took out the business card Yu Zhen gave him, touched it, his eyes were sad and relieved.

It turned out that senior Yu Zhen was that mysterious little proprietress... She thought of the young man in her memory who always had his head down and had no sense of presence, and his shoulders slumped.

It seems that senior Yu Zhen has really had a good life these years, and now he is looking for a lover who loves him very much... That's good, that's good, she clenched her business card tightly, feeling like crying, but at the same time feeling relieved.

A good person should live a good life. Senior Yu Zhen's thoughtfulness and gentleness hidden under his inconspicuous attire must be cherished by people now.

The Xiangfei headquarters is not far from the Jinjiang Building, and it takes a short drive to get there.

The family met in the parking lot. After all, it was Father's Day. Although Qiu Feiqian obviously occupied today's home court, everyone still gave Yin Hexiang a place to pick the dinner party out of face.

Yin Hexiang pretended not to see the children's "preference", and conveniently set the dinner party at a restaurant that Qiu Feiqian liked, which made Qiu Feiqian even happier.

The whole family had a lively meal. After the meal was over, Yin Hexiang and Qiu Feiqian looked at each other and Yu Zhen who was whispering something to Yin Yan. They stopped talking tacitly, and Yin Hexiang coughed and said : "Well, Xiao Zhen, the things we said a few days ago to help you check, and now the results have come out."

As soon as these words came out, the box immediately fell silent, and Yin Le immediately sat up straight on the chair after eating full, looking at the two documents that Yin Hexiang took out from his briefcase with piercing eyes.

Yu Zhen also looked over, the smile on his face gradually faded, his expression tensed unconsciously.

Qiu Feiqian felt distressed when she saw it, and comforted her: "Xiao Zhen, don't think too much, it's still the same sentence, you are our Yin family, and you don't want to talk to the cats and dogs next to you, so let's just pretend that he doesn't exist and relax. , don't put pressure on yourself."

These words were almost equivalent to telling him that they had indeed found out something and basically confirmed the relationship between Zou Chengjing and his father and son.

Yu Zhen knew this was the result, adjusted his emotions, and replied: "Thank you, Mom, I know. I have been mentally prepared for Zou Chengjing these days. Dad, tell me."

"This is Zou Chengjing..." Yin Hexiang frowned reflexively when he mentioned the name, thought for a while, then simply pushed the document in front of him, and said, "You can read it yourself first, if you don't understand, I will explain it to you in detail."

That's fine, Yu Zhen nodded and took the things over.

One was thick and the other was thin. After thinking about it, he opened the thick one first.

The very beginning of the thick document is the news about the marriage of Zou Chengjing and Lin Baohong, the youngest daughter of the Lin family. In the news photos, Zou Chengjing is very young, high-spirited, and handsome. If one does not read the news content, no one will think that he is the married son-in-law of the Lin family.

Compared with his outstanding appearance, Lin Baohong, the youngest daughter of the Lin family, looks a little ordinary, her eyes are dull, and she doesn't look energetic.

Yu Zhen took a special look at the date of the news, calculated his age at that time and Lin Zouwei's age, and found that Zou Chengjing and Lin Baohong probably got married with a son, otherwise Lin Zouwei's age would not match.

According to the data, Zou Chengjing is a returned overseas Chinese. His parents died early. He grew up abroad.

After marrying Lin Baohong, Zou Chengjing immediately took over the Lin family's overseas business, and started a life of running back and forth between domestic and foreign countries, and he was able to live up to his expectations, and gradually made the Lin family's overseas business bigger than domestic ones. The Lin family has a lot of status.

Yu Zhen endured his dislike to go through Zou Chengjing's smooth life after marriage, and found nothing that would make people feel wrong, except for his life experience before marriage.

He frowned slightly, glanced at Yin Hexiang and Qiu Feiqian, guessing that he missed something important, put down the thick document and picked up the thin one.

As soon as the thin document was opened, his hands froze.

There was a photo of grandpa printed on the first page of the document, it was very blurry, and his appearance was much younger than he remembered, but he had lived with his grandpa for decades, and he still recognized it at a glance.

He took a deep breath silently to stabilize his emotions, and watched carefully.

This is Yu Jincheng's survey data, and the content is much simpler than Zou Chengjing's.

Yu Jincheng, an orphan, died in a fire at the age of five, and was adopted by Yu Rongfeng. He lived with Yu Rongfeng in Province C for seven years, and returned to his hometown in Province H with Yu Rongfeng when he was 12 years old. After entering the university, he separated from Yu Rongfeng's father-son relationship.

After graduating from university, she married her college classmate Wang Shu and had no children. The couple died in H province three years later due to an accident.

The couple died unexpectedly together?Why did Yu Jincheng's matter involve Wang Shu, who had already divorced him?

Yu Zhen was stunned, and read the information carefully again. After confirming that it was indeed written in this way, he raised his head and looked at Yin Hexiang in a daze.

"The information found out shows that the orphan Yu Jincheng is dead, and the one who is alive now is Zou Chengjing, the orphan of a good friend recognized by the great calligrapher and painter Wang Dayi abroad." Yin Hexiang explained simply, and the meaning of what he said was very clear. In order to become Zou Chengjing, Yu Jincheng the Identity is "dead", completely lost in the world.

Yu Jincheng erased his past, or to be more precise, someone helped him erase his past, giving him the status of a returned Chinese, the adopted son of a master of painting and calligraphy.

"Then Wang Shu..."

"It has been confirmed that he passed away." Yin Hexiang replied with a sigh, unable to bear to see his current expression.

really died?

Yu Zhen put down the document with a blank expression.

The woman who begged Yu Jincheng to keep him and then abandoned him cruelly died?Already... dead?How did you die?Obviously, the couple "died unexpectedly" together, so why did Yu Jincheng become Zou Chengjing, but Wang Shu "confirmed his death"?

Is there something wrong here?

"Drink of water."

The hand was held suddenly, and then a glass of water was fed to his mouth, with the smell of medicine.

Yu Zhen came back to his senses, glanced at Yin Yan, knew that he was worried that his emotions would affect his mind, and obediently lowered his head and took a sip of the water with ingredients in his hand.

The mood calmed down instantly, he smiled at Qiu Feiqian and Yin Hexiang, who had worried eyes, and continued to read the documents with his head down.

At this point in the information, Yu Jincheng has completed the seamless transition to become Zou Chengjing. What follows is full of details, including news about the fire incident that made Yu Jincheng an orphan, Yu Jincheng's schooling trajectory, and Zou Chengjing's "growth trajectory" abroad. ".

At the end, there is even a biography of Yu Rongfeng.It's all very simple information, such as how many years you were born, how many years you died, when and where you lived... and so on.

But there is no mention of Yu Zhen in it. Regarding the fact that Yu Rongfeng later adopted a grandson, there is no mention from the beginning to the end of the information.

In this regard, Yin Hexiang’s explanation is that the procedures for Yu Rongfeng’s adoption of Yu Zhen back then should not be standardized. Now that Yu Rongfeng has passed away and Yu Zhen’s household registration has been moved away, the invalid adoption relationship with incomplete adoption documents will be followed by the elderly. The information on the death of ’s death and the new adoption system is perfect, disappearing in the long river of time.

After hearing his guess, Yu Zhen and Yin Yan looked at each other without speaking.

The incomplete adoption information is actually the result of their erasure of traces that night. Facts have proved that their erasure was very successful. Even Yin Hexiang's people were unable to dig out Yu Zhen, the grandson, just through Yu Rongfeng's line. .

A meal begins happily and ends dullly.

Finally, Yin Hexiang asked Yu Zhen if he wanted to recognize Zou Chengjing as his father, and if he wanted to, he could help.After all, Zou Chengjing is considered a successful person, and Yu Zhen is not an illegitimate child, but a legally married child. There is no negative impact on Yu Zhen when he recognizes his relatives, but it can actually cheat Zou Chengjing.

Yu Zhen refused without hesitation, and emphasized that he only wanted to be a stranger with Zou Chengjing in his life, and he didn't want to have anything to do with him at all.

Yin Hexiang understood his attitude, patted him on the shoulder, exchanged a tacit look with Qiu Feiqian, and pressed the matter not to mention it.

A few days later, Qiu Feiqian's "Love for Life" series of limited edition perfumes for Yu Zhen was suddenly announced ahead of schedule, and quickly entered the promotion period.

For the first time, Yu Zhen's name was officially circulated in the business district of City B, and rumors about his origin as the "Master of the Returned Noble" also began to spread.

After the promotion of the perfume series, Qiu Feiqian changed her previous attitude of not liking to socialize with wives, and began to frequently attend gatherings of wives in various business circles. Every time she went, she would bring some beautiful flowers and plants, homemade perfume, essential oils, scented tea, etc. to share with everyone. Share and quickly become one with everyone.

After a few times like this, the lady in the business district who became friends with Qiu Feiqian stopped playing cards, went shopping, and even talked less about gossip. Qi self-cultivation and self-cultivation.

The big and small bosses in the business district were confused, and Yu Zhen was miserable.

I don't know what Qiu Feiqian said to the outside world. His small nursery suddenly became lively, and he began to receive frequent calls about cooperation. The flower cultivation company wants to find him to buy new flower seeds and flower seedlings.

He declined all of them, expressing to the public with a headache that his flowers and plants are only for sale, and if he wants to give them, he only gives them to those who are destined.

After such a commotion, he became busy instead, and didn't have time to think about those shitty things about Zou Chengjing.

Another day later, Feng Lao suddenly called and asked him to go to a resort on the outskirts of city B to escape the summer heat, and talk about his grandfather's past by the way.In order to keep quiet, after asking Yin Yan's opinion, he simply dragged Yin Yan to the suburbs, preparing to take a good rest for a few days.

The resort that Mr. Feng said is very remote, and it has almost been built in the neighboring city, but it is indeed very quiet, surrounded by mountains, the air is very good, and there is a faint layer of floating aura, it is a treasured place of geomantic omen.

In order to thank Mr. Feng for his invitation and hospitality, Yu Zhen specially prepared a pot of orchid grass, which he planned to give to Mr. Feng as a thank you gift.

"Why did you suddenly allow me to contact Feng Lao and the others this time?"

Before getting out of the car, Yu Zhen was holding the bluegrass that he was going to give to Lao Feng, and couldn't help but ask.

Yin Yan, who had just unbuckled his seat belt, looked at him and asked without answering, "Are you happy?"

Yu Zhen was stunned: "What?"

Yin Yan didn't speak any more, pushed the door to get out of the car, walked around the front of the car and led him down, and looked at Feng Lao and others who had already led people out of the villa.

Yu Zhen felt that his attitude was a bit strange, so she glanced at his profile several times, and sneaked closer to him.

A faint gloomy emotion came over him, he was stunned, took another look at Yin Yan's extremely calm side face, and tilted his head towards his chest.

Depressed, aggrieved, neglected, a little angry... and then a blank.

Yu Zhen looked up at Yin Yan.

Yin Yan just finished eating a ball, with a calm expression like a fairy, eyes without desire and desire, and said lightly: "Feng Lao is here."

Not right.

Yu Zhen stood up straight, looked him up and down, carefully recalled his words and deeds in the past few days and his own words and deeds in the past few days, and found nothing wrong. After thinking hard for a long time, a discordant guess appeared in his mind.

For a while, he was in a bad mood because of Zou Chengjing's matter, and he didn't have the heart to do that with Yin Yan. Now the sky is dry, and Yin Yan was brutally suppressed by him during the last kiss. He held back for so long. Could it be that Yin Yan is... ...dissatisfied with desire?
