Do not lie to me

As soon as Mrs. Shao entered the private box, she sat on the sofa and waited for everyone to leave before getting up with her head closed and her eyes closed. The high heel was hanging loosely on the raised foot, dangling from the toes.The red lips were slightly parted, and there was a heavy sigh that lasted for a long time. Mrs. Shao closed her eyes and muttered to herself, "Be patient, I will take you back when the old man dies and Ji'er takes over the Shao Group." .It's not that I'm going to lose you, I'm just waiting for a better time to reunite."

"Dong dong dong." The door of the private room was knocked, Madam Shao opened her eyes, retracted the hand supporting her head, sat upright, and the shoe hanging on the tiptoe was also closed into her foot immediately, still tight Red heels.

"Come in."

As soon as the sound fell, a serious-looking man in black came in.Mrs. Shao looked up at him, "You showed up at the backstage of Yao Caier's press conference. I said something that wasn't particularly important, so don't show up in front of me easily. Otherwise, what will the caught people do if they see the fuss?"

The visitor was lowering his head to be reprimanded by Mrs. Shao, and only raised his head after she finished speaking, "Someone checked your traces when you lived in the United States, Madam."

Mrs. Shao frowned, "Do you know who it is?"

"do not know."

Mrs. Shao clenched her fist with one hand and pressed her upper lip. She seemed to be thinking, but she was actually covering her slightly trembling lips. She knew that it would not be as smooth as she thought when she came back.

After the man in black finished speaking, he still hung his head and waited for the order, but this time he waited for a long time.After biting her lower lip tightly, Madam Shao put down her hand on her lips, "Call Xu Xueshi for me."

The person who heard the order nodded, and when he turned around and was about to walk to the door, he heard the order from the person behind him, "Remember not to let him go through the main door, Ji'er is still entertaining friends here, don't let them run into each other."

The man waited for a while after hearing it, as if waiting for any other orders, and turned around and left after confirming that there were no other orders.

When Shang Xuechen returned to the balcony seat, Brother Zhou and Yuan Li'an had already started moving.Shang Xuechen still took his original seat, Yuan Li'an glanced at him and asked, "Brother Shang, do you want to change seats with you?"

Shang Xuechen glanced at him with a smile and ruffled his hair. Doesn't it look like he was running away, "What? Want to change my excellent viewing seat? I still have to rely on looking at the scenery outside."

Yuan Li'an glanced at him and remained silent.Shang Xuechen put on a relaxed look, took a sip of the lime soda water in hand, and took a look at the scenery outside, "Why are so many cars parked outside in just a short while? Which distinguished guest is here?"

When he asked such a question, Zhou Ge also held a knife and fork and stretched his neck to look out of the balcony.Yuan Li'an also stretched his neck out of curiosity, and when Shao Ji came back, he saw all three of them turned their heads and stretched their necks to look out.Shao Ji didn't say anything, and sat down quietly, only when he sat down, he heard Brother Zhou next to him sigh, "Yo, it's still a Rolls-Royce."

Only then did Shao Ji follow Brother Zhou's gaze and look towards the door. He knew in his heart whose car it was, the fucking car.

Shang Xuechen withdrew his gaze, and didn't show any discomfort to Shao Ji who was quietly sitting opposite him, but just taunted Brother Zhou in a joking tone, "You old hat, you look like you haven't seen a good car before."

Brother Zhou retracted his neck, "Okay, you are the only one who is good, and you have seen luxury cars."

Shang Xuechen pursed his lips and did not speak, he had not only seen it but also been in it, Ji Shuping was driving this car.

Yuan Li'an supported Shang Xuechen, "Brother Shang is amazing, when he was drunk at the bar that time, someone drove a Rolls Royce to pick him up."

Shao Ji raised his eyelids and glanced at Yuan Li'an.Yuan Lijian didn't see it, and lowered his head to fork the beef tongue on the plate and put it directly into his mouth.Even if Shang Xuechen secretly kicked him under the table, he still kept his cheeks puffed out and chewed his tongue.

Brother Zhou casually picked up a meal bag and threw it to the opposite side, and it landed on Yuan Li'an's plate impartially. Yuan Li'an looked up and saw Brother Zhou's eyes of "eat yours, don't talk nonsense".

The atmosphere at the table was not too awkward, especially because of Shao Ji's sudden laugh, Shang Xuechen didn't look up, but just lowered his head to drink the soup, because Ji Shuping said that he should drink soup to moisten his stomach before eating.Brother Zhou and Yuan Li'an gave Shao Ji a strange look.Shao Ji didn't explain his laugh to the weird eyes they cast on him.He also bowed his head and went to drink soup. In fact, he just thought it was a bit funny for Yuan Li'an to come here to show off his power by taking advantage of other people's prestige.

Yuan Li'an thought he was being laughed at, and bowed his head in dissatisfaction to tear open the bread thrown by Zhou Ge.Shang Xuechen drank half of the soup before he began to eat seriously. When he saw Yuan Li'an tearing bread beside him, he said, "Don't waste food."

"Oh." After Shang Xuechen said this, Yuan Li'an had no choice but to pick up the bread crumbs scattered around him, and the knife and fork he brought jingled when it touched the porcelain plate.Shang Xuechen watched him tidy up clumsily, sighed, took the napkin at hand and stretched out his hand to help him tidy it up.Their table was arranged on the balcony, which happened to be facing the hall on the second floor. Shang Xuechen leaned on the side of the balcony, and Yuan Li'an naturally leaned on the other side of the hall.The moment Shang Xuechen took the napkin and turned around, he happened to see a familiar man in black walking through the hall.

Where have you seen it?Shang Xuechen couldn't remember it for a while, frowning and searching all kinds of things in his mind, it was only after a while that he remembered that he had seen that person in Yao Caier's lounge at the press conference, and he was the one who drove away Yao Caier.At first he thought it was Yao Caier's assistant, but later he thought it was Xu Xueshi's person.If the result is not the same, then whose person is he?

Shang Xuechen stood up abruptly, pushed away the chair and was about to go out, trying to chase him out to see who that person was, and why he appeared in this restaurant.The other three looked up at Shang Xuechen who was moving suddenly.This time Yuan Li'an quickly grabbed Shang Xuechen and asked him, "Brother Shang, what's the matter?"

Brother Zhou followed up and asked, "You won't go to the bathroom again. You have frequent urination and kidney problems."

"No, I..." Shang Xuechen couldn't find a suitable excuse to prevaricate them.

"It's not just sit down. Hurry up and finish eating, so we can go back to the police station to get the car."

Shang Xuechen watched Brother Zhou winking at him desperately, it seemed that he was quite unwilling to sit here and eat this meal slowly.Shang Xuechen raised his head to look at the hall again, but the figure of that person was gone in the hall.Shang Xuechen turned his head to look under the balcony again, no one passed by the gate, and there was no shortage of cars in front of the gate.The man did not come from the gate.Chasing him out now is probably useless, so he can only sit down and finish the meal quickly under the hints of Zhou Ge's various winks.

It's just that as soon as Shang Xuechen sat down, a waiter brought up a plate of salmon. Shang Xuechen was already in a bad mood, but when he saw the salmon he didn't like, his brows almost knit together.Seeing this plate of salmon coming up, Yuan Li'an kicked Brother Zhou's foot under the table calmly.

Brother Zhou raised his eyes and tapped Yuan Li'an with his index finger while no one around him noticed.On the contrary, Yuan Li'an lowered his eyebrows and put his palms together in front of Brother Zhou as if begging him.Brother Zhou sighed softly, and secretly moved the plate of salmon placed in the middle of the table towards Shao Ji.

Shao Ji ate a few mouthfuls of the dish in front of him, feeling a little bored, saw an extra plate of salmon on hand, dipped a piece of salmon with mustard and put it in his mouth.Shang Xuechen looked at Shao Ji who was eating salmon, and Shao Ji was sitting opposite him, and he felt that the mustard smell from Shao Ji's mouth wafted to his nose when he was chewing the salmon.

Shao Ji was eating salmon, and when he looked up, he saw Shang Xuechen frowning and looking at him. He didn't open his mouth to ask the person opposite because he felt that it was impolite, so he raised his eyebrows at Shang Xuechen, as if he was asking him What's wrong.

Shang Xuechen saw Shao Ji asking about his expression, and was about to ask him if he ordered the salmon, but he was afraid that he would smell mustard after he opened his mouth to answer, so he just shook his head and pretended to be okay , eating in a muffled voice.Yuan Li'an, who was next to him, looked at it and secretly pursed his lips to suppress the corners of his proud mouth. He knew that Shang Xuechen couldn't stand the smell of mustard the most, and he had a very clear division of food preferences.Directly use the similarity of food preferences to divide the closeness with people.Yuan Li'an did this on purpose, not to mention that Shang Xuechen would hate Shao Ji because of the salmon and mustard, but he just didn't want Shang Xuechen to take care of Shao Ji like his younger brother.He only wanted Shang Xuechen to take care of him like a brother.

Yuan Li'an pursed his lips again, and when he looked up, he saw Brother Zhou shaking his head at him.Yuan Li'an looked at Brother Zhou shaking his head, and wanted to kick him secretly under the table, but before he could lift his foot, Shang Xuechen next to him said, "Hurry up and finish eating." Yuan Li'an could only stop his foot , squinting at Shang Xuechen beside him, has he already seen his little thoughts?

Shang Xuechen no longer wanted to pay attention to the various petty thoughts of other people at the table, none of which could make him feel at ease.Shang Xuechen looked at the water glass in his hand, thinking that Ji Shuping would pour him a glass of water every morning to save him from stomach acid and retching when he got up early.It has been a long time since Shang Xuechen felt this kind of loneliness before he met Ji Shuping. It is similar to before, similar in that he is out of tune with the thoughts of the people around him, but also a little different. The difference lies in a new sense of loneliness brought on by his longing. .Shang Xuechen looked at the water glass in his hand and thought, Ji Shuping should be the only one who is really good to him in this world.For some reason, he especially missed Ji Shuping today.

The other three saw that Shang Xuechen had stopped eating, Yuan Li'an and Shao Ji immediately put down the tableware in their hands, only Zhou Ge hurriedly ate a few more bites of meat before putting down the knife and fork in his hand.Shang Xuechen saw Brother Zhou gobbling it up, and asked him with a smile, "Why don't you eat more slowly?"

Brother Zhou wiped his mouth with a napkin. He hadn't chewed all the food in his mouth, and said vaguely, "No, let's go. The atmosphere here is not suitable for a rough man like me." This meal was invited by Shao Ji.Brother Zhou glanced at Shao Ji beside him, but he didn't seem to care too much about what he just said.

After Brother Zhou said that, Shang Xuechen asked Yuan Li'an and Shao Ji again, "What about you? Are you full?"

Both Shao Ji and Yuan Li'an nodded in unison, Shang Xuechen got up and pushed the chair away and said to them, "Then let's go."

The other three people all got up and left, and Shao Ji got up faster to catch up with Shang Xuechen. Yuan Li'an was unhappy when he saw this, but he was held back by Brother Zhou, "Okay, stick one or two together." Shang will only feel annoyed if he goes up. He used to deliver bad smells to his door, do you understand?"

Although Brother Zhou said so, Yuan Li'an still looked in the direction of Shang Xuechen with an unhappy face.

Shang Xuechen was almost at the top of the stairs, when he was pulled by Shao Ji who suddenly caught up, he frowned and looked at Shao Ji holding his hand, "If you have something to say, don't move."

Shao Ji let go, "When Brother Zhou gets the car, you take my car, and I'll take you back."

Shang Xuechen glanced at him, did not refuse, just said, "Understood."

Shao Ji didn't expect Shang Xuechen to agree so readily. He thought that he would either refuse or shirk, so why did he agree this time without saying a word?Shao Ji didn't think deeply about it, he just cared about being happy that Shang Xuechen agreed to let him send him back.I was overjoyed, and after I realized it, I followed Shang Xuechen to his side and went downstairs together.

Mrs. Shao waited in the room for a while, but she still hadn't waited for anyone to come.Sitting a little bored, want to go out for a walk.After leaving this room and passing the lobby, the manager immediately came up and asked, "Madam, what are your orders?"

Mrs. Shao waved her hand, "It's okay, come out and walk around." After speaking, she saw Shao Ji's back downstairs, "Isn't that Ji'er? He and his friends have finished eating?"

The manager raised his head and followed Mrs. Shao's gaze towards the spiral staircase. He remembered Shao Ji's instructions to him, so he didn't dare to answer for a while.Mrs. Shao squinted at Shao Ji's figure going downstairs, and was inadvertently attracted by the back of the person walking beside him, "Who is that?"

The manager looked up, and when he lowered his head, he felt his back was sweating, "It's the young master's friend."

"Friend?" Mrs. Shao muttered, her eyes never moving away from the figure from behind, she watched the man go down the stairs holding on to the handrail of the stairs. "How many friends did Ji'er bring over for dinner today?"

The manager swallowed, still deliberating whether to follow Shao Ji's orders.

Mrs. Shao waited for a long time without waiting for anyone to answer, she turned her head and gave the manager a look, only after this stare did the manager reply in a panic, "There are three young masters in total."

"Who are the other two?"

"The young master said that one is his classmate and the other is his classmate's brother. The classmate's brother took him to dinner with him, and the young master brought them here for dinner today."

"That's right." After hearing this, Mrs. Shao took another look at the stairs. At this time, there was no one there.

Why is the back so similar?Mrs. Shao suspiciously walked towards the decorative glass wall of the hall.I want to take another look at Shao Ji and his friends walking through the yard through the glass wall on the second floor, to make sure that I can get rid of my doubts.

The manager who stood there looked at Mrs. Shao without asking any more questions and just walked towards the glass wall, thinking that Mrs. Shao just walked there to breathe and enjoy the scenery.He was relieved that the lady didn't ask him any more questions.

"Brother Zhou, hurry up, they have all gone downstairs."

"I'm coming."

The manager was so frightened that the two people who were talking passed by in the hall held his breath.He remembered that these two were also brought by Shao Ji.The manager stood there frightened and looked up at Mrs. Shao who was walking towards the glass wall.Fortunately, Mrs. Shao didn't care, otherwise she turned around and saw these two people, and then asked who brought the guests and made such a fuss, the manager really couldn't tell.If it was other guests, Mrs. Ke was familiar with the frequent guests, but if it was the young master's guests, the number of people who just came out of her mouth would not match.

The manager watched the two people anxiously going down the stairs, and the lady was about to walk to the glass wall. Although she didn't notice it at the moment, if the lady saw the two people meeting with the young master from the second floor later, the young master just now They went down with another person. Mrs. Shao stood on the second floor and took a look. She must be able to see four people meeting downstairs.The manager stood in the lobby sweating anxiously. Fortunately, a waiter came up to him and whispered something in his ear, and he let out a sigh of relief as if he had saved his life. Next to Mrs. Shao by the glass wall.

"Ma'am, we're here."

"Are you here?" Mrs. Shao asked, and when she turned around, she saw Xu Xueshi following behind the waiter.

Seeing Mrs. Shao turning around to look at him, Xu Xueshi stepped forward, "Why did you call me here?"

"Let's talk in the box." Mrs. Shao turned her head to look at the glass wall again, and then she saw Xu Xueshi looking at her, "You go to the box first, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look."

Xu Xueshi nodded, and when Mrs. Shao passed his shoulder and was led to the kitchen by the manager, Xu Xueshi raised his head to look at the glass wall not far away.With some doubts, Xu Xueshi walked to the glass wall by himself.

Shang Xuechen and Shao Ji were walking side by side, when they suddenly heard their own voice calling from behind, "Brother Shang, Brother Shang, wait for me."

It was Yuan Li'an calling him.Shang Xuechen stopped on the open space in the courtyard, and turned his head to look at Yuan Li'an who was hurriedly chasing after him.Shao Ji also followed him to look back.Yuan Li'an caught up panting, and Shang Xuechen patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Why are you in a hurry, even if we walked faster, we would still be waiting for you in the car."

Xu Xueshi stood on the second floor and watched, just in time to see four people standing and talking in the yard.Xu Xueshi clenched his fists, stared at Shang Xuechen's smiling face, moved his gaze a little bit, and saw Shao Ji standing beside him, looking at Shang Xuechen with a smile, which made him squeeze tightly The fists rattled.Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile!

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu!" The waiter who came forward was calling Xu Xueshi, "Are you okay?"

Xu Xueshi loosened his fist, not wanting others to see the strangeness on his face, and smiled forcefully, "It's okay. Please show me the way to the box."
