Do not lie to me

Xu Xueshi sat alone in the box, his mind was filled with the scene of Shang Xuechen and Shao Ji standing together just now.This made him nervous.What did Mrs. Shao mean when she suddenly called her?Did she also see the scene she saw?Xu Xueshi was not sure, recalling Mrs. Shao's expression over and over again when she stood in front of the glass wall and turned her head to look at her expression, trying to find out some details from that face, some details that she knew or not.

The door of the box opened, Xu Xueshi relaxed his expression and tried not to look too nervous, then got up from the sofa to greet the person who came in.

Mrs. Shao's high-heeled shoes did not make a sharp sound as usual when they stepped on the carpet in the box.She walked straight towards the sofa opposite Xu Xueshi, and casually waved her hand at the opposite person to signal that he didn't have to stand up to greet him.

Xu Xueshi waited for Mrs. Shao to sit down before he sat down on the sofa again, but his back was stiff and he waited for Mrs. Shao to speak.He was afraid that Mrs. Shao would ask him why Shang Xuechen was still in the country as soon as he opened his mouth.

Mrs. Shao picked up the goblet in her hand unhurriedly, swirled the glass, and took two sips of the white wine, "Someone is checking me behind my back."

Xu Xueshi's shoulders were slightly loose, so it was for this matter that he came here?

"Maybe it's the Shen family. After all, the Shen family was the first to find out that you and the young master were going back to China."

"The Shen family?" Mrs. Shao tilted her lips and swung her wine glass a couple more times, looking completely unfazed, "Even if the Shen family had the ability, they wouldn't be able to keep the water tight. Although the Shen family knew that I was going back to China Yes, but even I know about his investigation. It’s because I look down on his family that I don’t care.” Mrs. Shao put down her glass and looked directly at the person opposite, “I know someone is investigating me. When it comes to the background, if you ask who it is, the subordinates will only reply that I don’t know. Do you think the Shen family has the ability?”

Xu Xueshi didn't know much about the Shen family's situation, but from Mrs. Shao's tone, she didn't seem to think that the Shen family was a threat, "Then what do you think?"

"Ji's."

Xu Xueshi clenched her hands tightly. If Mrs. Shao really thought it was Ji's investigation, she must have noticed that Shang Xuechen was still in the country if she took action against Ji.Xu Xueshi himself guessed that the [-]th achievement was checked by Ji Shuping, especially since he saw Shang Xuechen and Shao Ji standing together just now, could it be that Ji Shuping already knew something, so he deliberately used Shang Xuechen to approach Shao Ji?Does that dazed boy Shang Xuechen know about the relationship, and if he knows in the future, how should he deal with it?

"I don't think the Ji family sent someone to investigate. Didn't the Ji family take over my piece of land in the development zone from you? Now that we have reached a cooperation in commercial development, digging it now will only destroy the existing situation." There is a cooperative relationship. The spread of these things will only do harm to the projects in the current development zone, but not beneficial."

No matter what, Xu Xueshi could only draw Mrs. Shao's attention away first.

"Otherwise, who else can there be besides Ji?"

"Before you returned to China, the Shen family even contacted Shao Ling. Although you haven't made it public at the official event of the Shao family when you come back, some people have already known about it. Now that the Shen family can contact Shao Ling Ling, of course, will also contact other old diehards on the board.”

Mrs. Shao frowned, "The Shen family doesn't have to worry about me. If someone in the Shao family starts to investigate, I will be in trouble."

"Are you so relieved about the Shen family?" Xu Xueshi was really curious. Mrs. Shao first settled Shao Ling to pave the way for her to return to China, and then felt that it would be thankless to fight against the Ji family, so she took her piece of land in the development zone Going to cooperate with the Ji family, how come you don't have any worries about the Shen family at all?

Mrs. Shao picked up the wine glass with a smile and took another sip of wine, "Although the Shen family wants to get involved everywhere, but the foolish behavior must have determined that he has no strong connections. Besides, there is no one in the next generation of the Shen family like Ji Shuping is such a difficult person. I heard that the children in his family are not in good spirits, so I haven’t mentioned a suitable family for a long time. Someone has already helped me figure out how to get the pulse of the Shen family. As long as I take his children If you make a fuss about your mental problems, the Shen family probably won't even care about it."

It turned out to be like this.Xu Xueshi thought silently while drinking.

"only......"

Xu Xueshi became vigilant when he heard the pause in Mrs. Shao's words, "Just what?"

Mrs. Shao frowned and tilted her head, as if there was something she couldn't figure out, "It's just that Ji Shuping has reached his age again, and his appearance and ability are not bad. Why is the chairman of Ji's neither eager to ask him to join the board of directors nor In a hurry to arrange a marriage for him? If it is said that there is a estrangement between mother and child, it will not reach this point. After all, the Ji family is now being watched by so many people, and making a marriage for his son will also stabilize the future of the Ji family. But why did Ji Shuping even No pornographic news at all?"

"Didn't you almost give him pornographic news?"

Mrs. Shao frowned, remembering that she had heard that Ji Shuping took people to a resort hotel, and she deliberately ambushed the reporter to take pictures, but she didn't expect Shang Xuechen to be photographed.Did Ji Shuping really only like Xuechen?If this is the case, Xuechen will never be able to return to the country, otherwise the Ji family should know his relationship with him.Mrs. Shao was thinking secretly, and couldn't help but tightly squeeze the cup in her hand.

Xu Xueshi looked at Mrs. Shao's frowning, with an unnatural expression.This woman has been planning for a long time to return to the country, and even her face has gradually become different from before. He still remembers Mrs. Shao's appearance when she was young, her pair of phoenix eyes are beautiful, especially the tear mole in front of her eyes , looks charming and pathetic, but now the mole is gone.Only those eyes of Shang Xuechen resembled the second uncle, and the rest of his nose and mouth followed the appearance of Mrs. Shao in front of him when he was young.Xu Xueshi couldn't help but sigh when he remembered Shang Xuechen.

Mrs. Shao was brought back to her senses by the sigh of the person opposite, she raised her head to look at Xu Xueshi, met his gaze and thought of Shang Xuechen whose eyes somewhat resembled his.She asked Xu Xueshi, "Is he doing well abroad?"

Xu Xueshi replied nervously, "I'm doing well. It's just that I don't know the language and I rarely go out, but that's good too. If I go out less often, the chances of being found out are small, so you can rest assured that the Shao family will not find him. body."

"Do you have any photos of his life abroad? Show me, I saw a man today whose back looks very similar to him."

Hearing this sentence, Xu Xueshi didn't know whether he should relax or be nervous. Mrs. Shao's words proved that she hadn't seen Shang Xuechen who was with Shao Ji just now, but she wanted photos of Shang Xuechen's life abroad, and he also Really can't give it out.

"If you take photos of his life for no reason, he will also be suspicious. He was a little surprised at my decision to send him abroad suddenly. Besides, you keep his photo in your hand, and you are not afraid of your master and younger brother. Did your son find out?"

Mrs. Shao smiled, Xu Xueshi couldn't see the meaning in this smile, because the corners of her mouth were lifted so well, no matter how you looked at it, she felt that she was just smiling gently.

"I'm just, I'm just..." Xu Xueshi didn't understand what the person opposite said intermittently for a long time.He should have said everything he wanted to call himself, so he got up from the sofa and greeted the person opposite, "It's not good to stay too long, so I'll go first." After Xu Xueshi finished speaking, he looked at the person on the sofa opposite There was no movement, and he didn't have time to wait for the reaction from the person opposite, so he turned around and walked directly towards the door.

Mrs. Shao was still murmuring in the sofa like a gnat, and when she heard the sound of the door being closed, she realized that there was no one on the sofa opposite.She thought of the back figure she saw just now, "I just haven't seen him for a long time."

Shang Xuechen sneezed loudly while sitting in the car, and Shao Ji, who was driving next to him, turned to look at him, "Did you get blown by the air conditioner?"

This time, Shang Xuechen took the co-pilot seat, facing the air conditioner.Shang Xuechen pinched his nose with his hands, thinking that Ji Shuping was talking about himself behind his back, "You drive your car, why bother so much."

Yuan Li'an glanced at Shang Xuechen who was still sniffling, then turned his head and glanced at Shao Ji who was driving in front of him with only the back of his head visible.Yuan Li'an lowered his head, and squeezed the mobile phone in his hand, "I originally regarded you as a friend."

He spoke very softly, Brother Zhou vaguely heard a few words, shook his head and closed his eyes with a sigh.His own affairs were worrying enough.He didn't have time to calm down the emotions between children.

After Shao Ji drove for a while, he arrived at the police station where Brother Zhou parked.The group of four got out of the car, Brother Zhou found his own car, got in and started the car.Rolling down the car window to take a look at Shang Xuechen who didn't get into his car, originally he wanted to ask Shang Xuechen if he wanted to take his own car.But Shang Xuechen gave him a look before he spoke.

Brother Zhou received the meaning in Shang Xuechen's eyes, and his eyes fell on Shao Ji and Yuan Li'an again.There is no way, Shang Xuechen is an old friend he has known for a long time, besides, he will have to rely on Shang Xuechen to give him some advice to chase after Jiajia.

Brother Zhou hung his arm on the car window, and raised his hand to beckon to Yuan Li'an, "Xiao Yuan, the old camera I gave you before, I remember that there are still some photos I want in it that haven't been exported."

Yuan Li'an told Brother Zhou honestly, "The camera is in my school dormitory."

"I'm in a hurry to get the photo. You get in the car and I'll take you back to school. You go to the dormitory and give me the camera. Ah Shang, Xiao Yuan's school is a bit far away. After sending Xiao Yuan to you, I have to make a detour. What are you going to do? "

"It's okay, I'll see you off." Shao Ji didn't wait for Shang Xuechen to say that he would help him figure it out first, Shang Xuechen stood aside and didn't answer, looking like he was acquiescing.

Yuan Li'an only slowed down at this time, brother Zhou arranged this on purpose.

"That's fine, then please help me send him back. Xiao Yuan, what are you doing blankly, get in the car."

Yuan Li'an stood on the spot clutching his mobile phone. Hearing Brother Zhou's urging, he raised his head but turned and walked in front of Shao Ji.Shang Xuechen saw Yuan Li'an walking in front of Shao Ji, and said, "Then I'll wait for you in the car." He turned and went to Shao Ji's car.Seeing this, Brother Zhou rolled up the car window with interest.

Yuan Li'an glanced at the back of Shang Xuechen walking to Shao Ji's car, then looked back at Shao Ji, "Xiao Ji, I didn't have any friends before. But I regard you as a friend."

Shao Ji's eyelashes trembled, and he looked up at Yuan Li'an with an unyielding look, "Xiao'an, I also regard you as a friend."

"Then why do you..." Yuan Li'an swallowed, and his Adam's apple twitched, "Then why did you snatch Brother Shang? I don't expect Brother Shang to be mine, but you can't take away the position of brother Shang. I was desperate at the time, and it was Brother Shang who took care of me and gave me a way to go. I have been helpless for so many years, and I don’t want someone to take away Brother Shang’s care of me. He is the motivation for me to muster up the courage to live again , I sincerely treat you as a friend, can you not come and take that position?"

"I don't want to compete with you for that position."

Yuan Li'an frowned, "Then you want to grab the seat next to Brother Shang?"

That was Ji Shuping's position.

Shao Ji shook his head, "I don't know if I want to grab that position."

"Then why are you, to Ji..." Yuan Li'an paused, Shang Xuechen has never admitted the relationship between Ji Shuping and him face to face, I don't know if I can say it directly, "Then why are you jealous of that person this morning?" , and why are you competing with me to perform in front of Brother Shang?"

"If you do, do you like it?"

"I don't think you know the word jealousy."

"Jealous?" Shao Ji really didn't understand the word, "I just know that I feel that he is very special to me, and he can give me comfort. Xiaoan, I really regard you as a friend. Maybe it's The reason for the experience, I used to have no friends and family, and lived alone abroad. You are the same, you are running around for a living, and you have no friends and family. It is probably because of similar experiences in this aspect that we can be friends. But in my heart A kind of loneliness cannot be comforted by a person who has experienced the same experience as me. Only he, it is amazing, only he can comfort me. I feel something called sympathy from him. So I think I I don't want to argue with you on purpose, I want to have some time alone with him, and I want to get some comfort from him. I'm sorry, this is something I must do. "

After Shao Ji finished speaking, he turned around to leave, he was afraid that Shang Xuechen would wait too long in the car.

"You!" Yuan Li'an stopped him.

Shao Ji paused and didn't look back.Yuan Li'an saw him bow his head, "Xiao An, I really consider you a friend. Actually, I don't like salmon and mustard either. I ate it at the time, and I just want you to feel better."

Yuan Li'an froze in place, looking at Shao Ji's back as he walked away, he tightened his grip on the phone in his hand.Brother Zhou got a little impatient waiting, and kept honking the horn behind him.Yuan Li'an murmured to himself in the ear-piercing voice, "Why, why did you make me look like a bad guy."

Brother Zhou sat in the car and honked the horn for a long time, but he didn't see Yuan Lian turn around and walk over.He had to get out of the car, walked to Yuan Li'an and saw him holding his mobile phone and hanging his head, Brother Zhou asked him in a panic, "Xiao Yuan, are you crying?"

Yuan Li'an raised his head and said firmly, "No, I didn't cry."

The horn sounded again, Brother Zhou looked up to see that it was Shao Ji and his car driving away.Brother Zhou looked at Shao Ji's car gradually driving away, and he only thought about the adolescent children now, each one is more sensitive and difficult to deal with.But he only thought about it in his heart, and still thoughtfully hugged Yuan Li'an's shoulders, "They're gone, let's go too."

Yuan Li'an stared closely at the car that was driving away, and when the car turned a corner and could no longer be seen, he relaxed and let Brother Zhou turn his body around and lead him to the car.

Yuan Li'an lowered his head along the way.Seeing his listless look, Brother Zhou persuaded him, "It's just that Shao Ji sent him back on the way."

Yuan Li'an turned on the phone screen and then locked it. He smiled and asked Brother Zhou, "Brother Zhou, do you think I'm a little naive?"

Brother Zhou heard these words sound familiar, and just shook his head, "Although my monk always said that you are still children at this age, but think about it, you are eighteen, and the eldest is not young."

Yuan Li'an turned on the screen of the phone in his hand after listening, "That's right, I'm naive. I get tired easily after being sensible for too long. I'm so tired that I lost my parents and my life. I finally met Brother Shang to talk asthma."

Brother Zhou felt that his old-fashioned rhetoric did not make sense to these adolescent children.He just shut up and sent Yuan Li'an back to school quietly.At the school gate, Yuan Li'an got out of the car without saying a word.

"Hey, why didn't you say hello to me and leave?"

Yuan Li'an turned around and looked at Brother Zhou in the car, "Actually, you don't have any photos you want to take away from me. You lied to me, can't I have a little temper?"

"Okay, okay, brother, I did something wrong. Is the money still enough? Come here and I'll give you some pocket money."

Yuan Li'an glanced at him, "Don't try to coax me with money."

"Hiss~, I care about your studies and life."

Yuan Li'an lowered his head, "No need, I have enough money. Brother Zhou, go slowly."

After Brother Zhou drove the car away, Yuan Li'an raised his head and took a look at the street. He raised the mobile phone he had been holding in his hand, and dialed a series of numbers. If he remembered correctly, it should be this number.

When the other end of the phone was connected, Yuan Li'an swallowed nervously, "Hello, it's me. We met before, you should remember me."
