Do not lie to me

When Shao Ji went downstairs to the restaurant, his mother was already setting the chopsticks.Shao Ji walked over and wanted to take the bowls and chopsticks in her hand to help set them up, but Mrs. Shao avoided his extended hand, "You don't need to come, this is what a woman should do. After a while, the master will come down and see you, a big man, set the table. Chopsticks should be upset."

Why can't the big man help to set the chopsticks?Shao Ji only said this in his heart, and he opened his mouth to say, "I don't have to ask you to do it. Didn't the family hire a nanny?"

Mrs. Shao smiled, and looked at Shao Ji as if she was looking at an ignorant child, "I appreciate your kindness. But just tell me about it, don't you know what kind of person the master is?" ? He is the one who values ​​his patriarch status the most."

It's boring, Shao Ji thought in his heart, this family is really boring, "Then why did you send me abroad?"

"Master!" Mrs. Shao shouted loudly, overshadowing Shao Ji's voice.Shao Ji glanced at Mrs. Shao rushing to help Master Shao, bowed her head and followed, stood in front of Master Shao, and said respectfully, "Father, please have dinner."

Mrs. Shao glanced at Shao Ji with relief, then turned her head and smiled at Master Shao, "Master, please have dinner."

"En." Master Shao nodded to Shao Ji to express his satisfaction, and then patted the hand supporting his arm. Then Mrs. Shao helped Master Shao to sit down in the middle of the dining table.Shao Ji immediately sat on his left, and Mrs. Shao took a seat on her right, serving a bowl of millet porridge for Master Shao.

"Why did you eat this in the morning?" Master Shao looked at the millet porridge Mrs. Shao sent over and asked, "It's tasteless."

"I ate a lot last night, so it's better to have something lighter this morning." Mrs. Shao pushed the small dish at her hand towards Master Shao, "Don't you just have porridge with pickles?"

Master Shao frowned and took chopsticks to pick a few small dishes back and forth, and finally he just put the milk cucumber into his mouth, chewing while still reminiscing about last night's dish, "The beef stew tasted last night. Very good, thank you for your hard work, I know I like it, and I do it every night."

Mrs. Shao smiled and put another piece of milk cucumber into Master Shao's bowl, "It's just hard work just watching the heat. Master likes me to make it tonight."

Shao Ji on the opposite side picked up the porridge in the bowl with chopsticks, listening to their conversation, thinking, what's the point of this?Are ordinary wives so docile and pampering?He only knew that when he was abroad, at a friend's house he often visited, his wife would always scold her husband, saying that he couldn't eat this and that, and be careful to raise his blood pressure.Shao Ji lowered his head and picked up the millet porridge in the bowl.

"Ji'er not used to it?"

When Master Shao suddenly mentioned Shao Ji, he was so frightened that he dropped his chopsticks.When the silver chopsticks touched the side of the porcelain bowl, Master Shao frowned, and Mrs. Shao who was opposite was winking at him.

Shao Ji straightened his chopsticks and explained, "I'm just not used to it. The recent homework is a bit heavy, and the teacher will bring some dialect when he is excited in class. I can't understand it."

"Well, no wonder you came back late last night. I heard from your mother that you were studying in the school library?"

"I went yesterday..." In the middle of speaking, Shao Ji looked up and saw his mother winking at him, "Go to the library to find two professional books."

Master Shao put down the bowl in his hand, turned his head and asked, "Is there any rose fermented bean curd?"

"Yes, I'll get it." Mrs. Shao got up and went to the refrigerator to get fermented bean curd. As soon as she got it, Master Shao said, "It tastes bad in my mouth. I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus and white sugar buns."

Mrs. Shao was stunned, glanced at Shao Ji at the table, and replied with a smile as usual, "Master, wait a moment."

Master Shao turned his head to look at the busy Mrs. Shao, and asked Shao Ji, "It's best not to miss the class in the first semester, and go to the company for an internship after the holiday. Fortunately, you grew up in the United States, so you won’t have to send you abroad to study for an MBA in the future. You’ve read too many books, and it’s very annoying to talk in the same way. I don’t think that kid from Ji’s family goes to school very much, and he doesn’t even do business. Very good. Get used to it as soon as possible, so that you can be inserted into the company as soon as possible."

"Understood." Shao Ji looked up at the people who were busy in the kitchen. Was it because Ji Shuping's words at the dinner made Mr. Shao feel alienated from Mrs. Shao, so he deliberately dismissed her?His mother has been busy all morning, Shao Ji couldn't bear his mother's tiredness, "It's better not to eat sugar buns, sweet and salty ones are not good for blood pressure."

Master Shao took a look at Shao Ji, wiped his mouth with the napkin at hand, got up and said to the people in the kitchen, "Don't be busy, I'm going to the company." When he left, he patted Shao Ji on the shoulder.

Mrs. Shao rushed out of the kitchen, and shouted at the back of Master Shao who was leaning on crutches, "The sweet-scented osmanthus sugar buns are already steaming." All she saw was that Master Shao didn't even turn around, but just waved his hand.Mrs. Shao asked Shao Ji who was sitting at the table, "What did you say? Why did you stop eating all of a sudden?"

"Mom." Shao Ji looked up at her, "Didn't you say that Dad has softened his heart and started thinking about Tianlun when he gets older, so he has loosened his attitude towards the chairman of Ji's?"

"Why did you mention this all of a sudden? Did the master say that he wanted that brat from Ji's family to come in and get involved?"

Shao Ji shook his head, "He gave you a formal title at such an old age, but he just wanted someone to accompany him in his later years." Shao Ji stood up at the dining table, picked up the backpack at his feet, "You are Mrs. Shao already, not his lover. You should act like a wife, instead of flattering and pleasing everything as before. I don't eat anymore, I'm going to class now."

After Shao Ji finished speaking, he turned and left. Mrs. Shao looked at his figure and sat down at the dining table with her knees on her knees. White steam was coming out of the boiling water cage and making the sound of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"But everyone was gone, and Mrs. Shao didn't want to pay attention to the rattling cage drawer. She touched the bowl that was out of heat, and when she put the pagoda vegetables on the porridge, she suddenly lost her appetite. "Being a wife. But how do I know how to be a wife?"

When Shao Ji walked to the stairs, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the restaurant. Seeing that there was no movement inside, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the study on the second floor, and made a decision to go directly to the study on the second floor.After entering the study, go straight to the bookshelf.He stretched out his hand and counted the books on the shelf, and when he counted to the ninth, he picked that book, found out the photos in it, found out the textbook in his backpack, and put the photos in.

It was the first time to do this kind of thing, Shao Ji was a little nervous, especially when he went downstairs, he happened to meet Mrs. Shao who came out of the kitchen again.Mrs. Shao asked him, "Didn't you say to go to class?"

"Oh, I forgot to bring the book." After speaking, Shao Ji walked towards the gate as calmly as possible.

"Ji'er!"

Shao Ji stopped in his tracks, too nervous to speak.Mrs. Shao came up to him and asked him, "I happen to be going to the restaurant too, do you want me to drop you off?"

"No. Your car is too ostentatious. It's hard for me to explain when my classmates ask me."

Mrs. Shao watched Shao Ji out of the gate with a disappointed expression on her face.

In fact, Shao Ji had no class in the first session in the morning.But he arrived early in the classroom of the second class in the morning and took up two seats to wait for Yuan Li'an to come.Yuan Li'an came neither early nor late, and there were already a few people sitting in the classroom when he arrived.As soon as he entered the classroom door, he saw Shao Ji waving at him, motioning him to sit with him.

Shao Ji watched Yuan Li'an stepping up the stairs step by step, and clutched the side of his backpack nervously.

Yuan Li'an walked up to him and sat down, took out the textbook from his bag, and asked Shao Ji casually, "Is there any homework assigned before this class?" Yuan Li'an didn't hear the answer, and turned to look at Shao Ji beside him with a positive expression Nervously clutching his backpack, Yuan Li'an asked him, "What's wrong with you?"

It was just such a gentle question, but Shao Ji still looked shocked.He slowly took out the textbooks from his schoolbag, but kept his eyes fixed on Yuan Li'an, "Xiao'an, do me a favor?"

Yuan Li'an saw that there was something wrong with his expression, so he took out a tissue from his bag and handed it to him so that he could wipe the sweat off his forehead.Shao Ji stretched out his hand but grabbed Yuan Li'an's hand instead of taking the tissue and said, "Do me a favor!"

Yuan Li'an was intimidated by Shao Ji, "If it's about Brother Shang, I think we've already discussed it before."

Hearing Shang Xuechen, Shao Ji let go of Yuan Li'an's hand, touched his textbook, and rubbed his palm on it repeatedly, "No, I didn't want to disturb him. I want you to help me and Brother Zhou to meet alone one side."

"Brother Zhou?" Yuan Li'an looked at Shao Ji in confusion.

Shao Ji touched the edge of the book cover, "Isn't he a private detective? I want to ask him to help investigate some things, and I will pay for it."

"It turned out to be like this."Yuan Li'an felt relieved, "It's not that I don't want to help you. Brother Zhou has not been in the mood to pick up jobs recently. His friend who was hospitalized was recently discharged. He runs to her house every day."

"Then," Shao Ji touched the side of the book, "Where is Brother Chen? What is he doing recently?"

Yuan Li'an was questioned. Since Shang Xuechen found out that he skipped class last time, Shang Xuechen caught him and gave him a lesson. When he turned around, he started to go to class as usual. He occasionally called and sent a text message to Shang Xuechen. Shang Xuechen always had to focus on the problem of skipping classes and nagging him for a while, so that he didn't dare to contact Shang Xuechen, "I don't know what he's busy with recently. I guess he must be bored with Ji Shuping if he has nothing to do. They are together. Since they quarreled last time, they are getting more and more tired now. Ji Shuping answered the phone calls I had a few times in the past."

"Really? Hiss—"

"What's the matter?" Yuan Li'an saw that Shao Ji's hand was cut by the sharp page, and quickly took out a tissue to wrap his bleeding finger, "You should pay attention."

The teacher who was lecturing has already come in, "Come and wipe the blackboard."

The people sitting in the first row had already stepped onto the podium to help wipe the blackboard.The teacher who gave the lecture turned on the projector and said, "Okay, where did we go last time? Turn the book to the third section of Chapter 3, and today we will continue to talk..."

Shao Ji looked at the mouths of the people on the podium opening and closing, but he couldn't listen to anything. He looked down at the tissue wrapped around his finger in a daze, and it blushed a little bit.

"Hiss—" Shang Xuechen put the cut finger into his mouth, sucked it, took it out again, and looked down at the hamburger box on his lap, "It's so sharp. You cut your hand, look I won't eat you." After speaking, he took out the burger and took a big bite.

The notification tone of the mobile phone left on the center console kept ringing.You don't need to guess to know that Brother Zhou is complaining in the group.Ever since Shang Xuechen told Brother Zhou about Ji Shuping's analysis that night, Brother Zhou felt that Ji Shuping was the one who made moves for him, and threatened and lured Shang Xuechen to create a group, the main purpose of which was to pull Ji Shuping into the group Lilai so that Ji Shuping can advise him.

"What kind of tricks can he do? He made me so insidious that he scared girls away." Shang Xuechen said while biting his hamburger and reaching for the mobile phone he had thrown on the center console. .

Jiajia was discharged from the hospital not long ago, and the court also sentenced her to divorce.Brother Zhou listened to Ji Shuping's suggestion and helped Jiajia move. He neither returned to her ex-husband's house nor her parents' house, but found another house with Jiajia's mother to accompany her to recuperate.According to Ji Shuping's words, doing so can not only prevent her ex-husband's family from disturbing Jiajia's recuperation, but also prevent Jiajia's parents from finding an excuse to be cold-hearted to Brother Zhou, and show their face in front of the mother-in-law, as the saying goes The mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more when she sees her son-in-law. In this way, Brother Zhou goes to Jiajia’s mother all day long to earn impression points. Jia's father treated Zhou Ge a little better.

As a result, Zhou Ge only believed what Ji Shuping said more and more.

Shang Xuechen just got his cell phone, and before he read the news that Brother Zhou sent in the group, Brother Zhou called.Shang Xuechen took a bite of the hamburger before answering the phone, "What's wrong with you?"

"I succeeded halfway. Jiajia has recovered recently. Her mother asked me to take her out to relax, and Jiajia agreed. This is our first date! But Jiajia has always been lukewarm to me. , I really don’t know what to do, I want to inquire with your family about how to deal with it, and through this date, Jiajia can change Jiajia’s opinion of me. But he didn’t reply, so I asked you to ask him.”

Shang Xuechen picked the lettuce out of the hamburger and said, "Maybe he's in a meeting. You don't have to ask him about this kind of thing, just ask me. Don't I understand, Jiajia?"

Brother Zhou on the other end of the phone was not happy, "I am not happy when you say this. What do you mean you are showing off to me? Let me tell you, if I post what you said to the group, I will see it You are not having a good time tonight!"

Shang Xuechen unhurriedly took a bite of the hamburger, looked up through the car window at the three-way intersection outside, "Does Ji Shuping believe you or me? You stop sowing discord, and there will be no conflict between the two of us." Influenced by you traitor. Besides, Jiajia, I understand, when we were in school, we always went out to play."

"You're done."

Shang Xuechen raised his eyebrows, not afraid of Brother Zhou's threat at all.It's just that what Brother Zhou said in the next second made him slump his shoulders.

"I just taped all your words for you."

"No, no, Brother Zhou, listen to my explanation. I haven't done anything to Jiajia. I was very innocent when I was in school. I haven't even had a fight with Jiajia!"

"I do not believe!"

"It's true! I didn't dare to touch her. I was very timid at the time, and I was afraid that if I touched her, I would be responsible. Besides, Jiajia's daughter, how dare I touch her recklessly!"

"Really? You really never touched her at all?"

"I just held a small hand. But we were the boyfriends at that time, so it is reasonable to hold a small hand."

Brother Zhou repeated that sentence on the phone, "You're done, I'm going to send the recording to the group now, so that Ji Shuping can listen carefully."

Shang Xuechen swallowed the hamburger in his hand, choked, stretched out his hand to hammer his chest, and hurriedly said, "Don't, don't, I'll call him right now to help you ask, and I'll call him right away!"

Brother Zhou heard that something was wrong with his voice, and asked him, "What are you doing? It sounds like you are outside."

Shang Xuechen was really choked a bit, took a sip of Coke, and let out a loud belch.

"Hey—" Brother Zhou's undisguised dislike came from the phone.

Shang Xuechen didn't care, he stroked his chest and continued to stare at the three-way intersection outside, "I'm staring at the first intersection from the back street of the flower shop."

"Why are you staring at that?"

Shang Xuechen didn't answer, Ji Shuping has been very busy recently, although he didn't know what Ji Shuping was busy with, but he knew that Ji Shuping must be preparing for their future.He can't just stay so relaxed, and he can't cause trouble to Ji Shuping, he wants to do something by himself.The last time he was in this flower shop, he saw the person who was in Yao Caier's lounge. Shang Xuechen thought that he might be lucky enough to meet him again.If he couldn't meet him, he could still stare at the person who moved the goods.In short, these two people have problems, but what makes him strange is why the person in charge of delivering the goods hasn't appeared again recently?

"Hey, hey, let me ask you something."

"Stop talking, didn't you ask me to call Ji Shuping to give you advice? How can I call if you don't hang up?"

"Oh, that's fine, I'll hang up. Remember to tell me after you ask."

After Brother Zhou hung up the phone, Shang Xuechen still stared at the three-way intersection, not a car came for a long time.Shang Xuechen lowered his head and sighed and called Ji Shuping, "Hello, are you busy?"

Ji Shuping glanced at the silent people at the conference table, made a pause gesture, got up and left the conference room, "Not busy, what's the matter? I called again to customize the dinner menu."

"No, isn't Jiajia already discharged from the hospital? Brother Zhou finally got a chance to go on a first date. Let me ask you how you can change Jiajia's opinion of him after dating."

"Just ask me this?"

Shang Xuechen held the phone and nodded, lazily lying on the steering wheel, he remembered that Ji Shuping couldn't see again, so he said, "Well, that's it."

"You tell him that sincerity is true."

"that's it?"

"Yes, that's it."

Shang Xuechen rolled his eyes, "You are too foolish."

"But when I kept you, it was also because my heart is sincere."

Shang Xuechen said with a smile, "That's not it. You and I were miserable, and a kind-hearted person like me stayed because of your pity."

"Then you should let him sell badly."

Shang Xuechen came over with a big glass of Coke, bit the straw and took another big gulp of Coke, "But Jiajia doesn't like men who look pitiful."

"You understand again?"

"Hey hey, we are seeking truth from facts to help Brother Zhou, you can't be jealous. Brother Zhou said that Jiajia is always lukewarm to him."

Ji Shuping glanced back at the people waiting in the meeting room, and asked him, "Before that, you told me that Brother Zhou seemed hopeless with Jiajia."

Shang Xuechen recalled the previous scene in the hospital, "When Brother Zhou rushed to the ward to express his heart in a foolish manner, I clearly saw Jiajia pursing his lips and snickering."

"Then I know, Brother Zhou actually moved Jiajia. But he became timid later on, so Jiajia was actually not sure. She had a failed marriage once, and she was a little timid. As long as Brother Zhou behaves according to the action that made her laugh at that time, Jiajia will be able to nod in agreement."

"You mean to let Brother Zhou be impulsive again?"

"It depends on what he thinks." Ji Shuping looked back at the people in the conference room, and checked the time on the watch on his wrist. He had already chatted with Shang Xuechen for a while, "You don't have anything to say. Tell me alone? For example, tell me what you did and what you ate today, just tell me about you. "

Shang Xuechen looked at the big Coke in his hand, then got up and looked outside at the three-way intersection.Ji Shuping usually doesn't let him eat junk food, and he doesn't let him go out and walk around recently. If he tells Ji Shuping about this, he will definitely get angry with himself again.But if he is lying, he will definitely hear it. What should I say to divert his attention?Shang Xuechen thought for a long time, then suddenly yelled, "Ah, I almost forgot."

Ji Shuping took the phone away, rubbed his ears, and then put the phone on his ear again, "Why are you always so surprised? Did you remember what you want to eat tonight?"

"No. I don't want to be surprised, but my memory is good and jet-lagged. I remember it at the moment and then forget it. It takes a few days to remember it."

"or……"

"Oh, stop. I don't want to see a therapist. Don't you think I've gotten better lately?"

Ji Shuping sighed, Shang Xuechen always avoided seeing a doctor every time, but he has indeed stabilized a lot recently, which made Ji Shuping feel a lot better, "So what exactly do you remember?"

"On the day Jiajia was discharged from the hospital, I seemed to meet Zhou Yuan in the hospital. Why did she go to the hospital?"

Someone in the conference room got impatient and began to look into the aisle. Ji Shuping glanced at the time again, "She has a problem with her hand, and she always asks for leave to go to the hospital recently."

"Something wrong with your hands?" Shang Xuechen recalled seeing Zhou Yuan spraying perfume at the door of Shao Ling's room in the hotel.

"Stop talking, I have to hang up, send me a message when you think of what to eat tonight. See you at night." Ji Shuping hung up the phone and sat down on the chair in the conference room, "Let's continue."

The people present looked at each other, and it took a long time for someone to speak out boldly, "Maybe we have to wait a little bit, there is one missing financial report, and the people in the financial office have already sent it over."

Ji Shuping listened and looked at his phone, his face collapsed, and the people around him lowered their heads cautiously.Ji Shuping just looked at the phone and thought, if he had known, he would not be in such a hurry to hang up the phone, and he could still talk to him for a while.

Zhou Yuan was going to the HR department to deliver materials, but she ran into a person who came up from the finance department downstairs with a folder in her arms. Zhou Yuan greeted the person who was walking in a hurry, "Why did you come up?"

"It's a financial meeting, I was asked to send the materials up. Hey, why are you wearing gloves?"

Zhou Yuan pulled down her sleeves and replied with a smile, "Oh, my hands are allergic. Why do you keep holding financial meetings recently?"

"Who knows what the boss is thinking."

"That's right." Zhou Yuan smiled and looked at the people who hurried to the financial office, and pulled down her sleeves again.

Shang Xuechen hung up the phone, still thinking about Zhou Yuan's business, when he looked up, he saw a van coming out of the alley, it was a van delivering goods to the flower shop.Shang Xuechen didn't bother to think about what Zhou Yuan was doing, so he turned the steering wheel and drove out of the car to follow the van.
