Rose Manor

Chapter 1 First Encounter in the Elevator
The warm autumn sun slanted in through the window, was filtered by the luxuriant camphor trees outside, and the halo of light falling on the floor was indistinct.When the cool autumn wind blows, the shadows of the trees sway, and the light of the stars is like the sparkling waves of the lake dancing.

The girl with a young and pretty appearance was lying on the big black bed, wearing a British-style school uniform, with a pleated skirt that covered her thighs.Two fair and slender hands were holding her face, with a girl's manga spread out in front of her. Her calves were resting on the edge of the bed. Against the pure ink color, her skin was so white and delicate that it dazzled the eyes.

"Ache, have you finished your math homework?" The girl turned over a page of comics, raised her head, and let out a long yawn, with a layer of water in the corners of her eyes.

She is a little sleepy.

The boy sitting in front of the desk didn't look back. His gentle tone was full of smiles and he asked knowingly: "What do you want to do?"

Another page of the girl's manga was turned, the girl lazily raised her eyes, looked at his back, and said in a soft voice, "You know it."

"Do your own thing." The boy stopped writing and placed a long, slender hand on the edge of the table. When he looked back, his eyebrows were stained by the sunlight outside the window, "You passed the passing mark in the last math test, so give me some snacks. Come on, my little thoughts."

The girl with white and translucent skin wrinkled her steamed stuffed bun face, revealing a bit of baby fat, and her originally pure face was much more lovely.She reluctantly let out an "oh" and continued to read the manga, her two calves unknowingly turned up, dangling in the air.

The hem of the skirt is rolled up, revealing more thigh skin.

With a light glance, the boy's earlobe was suddenly tinged with red, and he hurriedly sat upright, holding a brush and writing questions, using this to cover up his unnaturalness.

After a while, he coughed in a low voice, seeming to compromise, but also helpless: "You read the book for a while, and I will help you with math after I finish writing. Copying homework is not acceptable."

There was no response from the people behind him.

Are you angry?
Pei Che turned around in panic, only to see Shen Jia Nian lying on the bed, asleep with his arms pillowed on his head.The shadow of eyelashes falls on the beautiful oval face, and the cheeks are as red as the ripe unripe peaches on the branches in early summer.

The sun shone on her body, her hair was dyed a warm light golden color, and the tiny fluff on the tip of her nose could be clearly seen.

The whole picture is like a realistic version of a girl's comic.

"What a sleepy little lazy pig."

Pei Che muttered, walked quietly to the bed, pulled the thin quilt over the girl, and sat down on the edge of the bed. His fingertips gently touched her cheek, making a shallow dimple.

He was very helpless for her behavior of going to bed before finishing her homework, but he was still willing to indulge her to sleep soundly, and prayed that she would have a good dream, preferably him.

……

The bizarre scene flashed by, and the next scene was the airport lobby.

Various flight information scrolled on the big screen, and the flight from Beicheng to New York was at two o'clock in the afternoon.

The melancholy of parting lingers in the bustling crowd, and the sound of the rollers of the suitcase is more like whimpering.A pair of boys and girls embraced each other. The girl looked up, her moist eyes filled with reluctance: "When you arrive in New York, you have to eat on time, remember to add clothes when it's cold, take care of yourself, don't make me worry in China. I will waiting for you!"

Pei Che touched her face, his amber eyes filled with more reluctance than hers: "I really want to put Xiao Nian in my suitcase and take her to New York."

Shen Jianian was amused by him, stepped back on tiptoe, put her hands behind her back, and stared at him dreamingly for a moment: "Then you take me away."

"Uncle and aunt will chase me to New York and kill me."

"No, no, they are so nice to you."

"Xiao Nian, wait for me to come back..."

When I come back, we will be together and never be separated.

I want you to be the happiest girl in the world. I want you to wear a white wedding dress and marry me. From then on, we will join hands and support each other until we grow old.

"Shen Jia Nian, Shen Jia Nian, don't sleep, we are almost there. You can't wake up even if you shout like this, are you dead?"

The piercing female voice was full of impatience, as if the sleeping person did not wake up, she was about to strike.

Shen Jia Nian's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. What came into his eyes was Yin Shuyao's disgusted face, her apricot eyes were about to burst into flames, full of irritation.

Rubbing her sore forehead, Shen Jianian gradually regained consciousness, realizing that she had fallen asleep on the way in the car, and had a dream with a very long time span, a chaotic dream.

In the dream are 17-year-old Shen Jianian and Shen Jianian.

Pei Che has been in New York for four years.

They also haven't seen each other for over a year.

The last time Pei Che returned to China, her father had a heart attack. They met in the hospital in a hurry and didn't have time to talk to each other.

If it weren't for her father's illness, she should have gone abroad with Pei Che three years ago and become a golden couple that everyone envied. She only waited until the legal age for marriage and walked into the marriage hall hand in hand.

However, things are unpredictable...

Shen Jianian couldn't help but imagine what it would be like when they meet again.Across the inextricable hatred, only mutual torture is left, and they can never go back to the past.

She didn't want to hate Pei Che, but reality couldn't help her choose.

A drop of clear tears slipped quietly from the corner of his eyes, Shen Jianian raised his hand to wipe it away, pretending nothing happened, moved his body that was stiff due to heavy sleep, turned his head to look out the car window, his eyes full of water vapor were sore and unbearable.

At some point, a drizzle began to fall outside, and the clean window glass was covered with thin raindrops, making it hazy.The neon lights along the street are projected on it, making it look like an ethereal dream.

I wish I was still in a dream, and it would be best to never wake up.

In that case, she would still be Xiao Nian who didn't know how to feel sad, the jewel in the palm of her parents, the treasure held in Pei Che's palm.

"Don't be in a daze, wake up quickly, no one will feel better if things go wrong at night." Yin Shuyao raised her volume, piercing the eardrum with every word, interrupting Shen Jianian's fantasy.

Autumn in Yicheng is much warmer than Beicheng, but it doesn't warm Shen Jianian's heart.

She hugged her bare arms and did not reply to Yin Shuyao's words.

After being ignored again and again, Yin Shuyao got angry and taunted her even more mercilessly: "Cousin, let me remind you that you are no longer a high-ranking young lady. I advise you not to put on airs as a young lady. Only by lowering your posture can you please Mr. Qin." Huanxin. A businessman like Mr. Qin, he is happy, he doesn't know how many benefits he has with a big wave of his hand, and it is not impossible to take back the Lingyue Group from Pei's hands. Did you hear what I said?"

Lingyue Group is an enterprise owned by the Shen family.

"I heard it." Shen Jianian responded calmly, not wanting to have a meaningless argument.

Her attitude was as cold and indifferent as a calm lake, and she was not as disappointed as Yin Shuyao expected. She was naturally dissatisfied, snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "Your parents are both dead and penniless. I really don't know where the sense of superiority comes from. If my dad hadn’t kindly taken you in, you would be begging on the street right now! Don’t forget, I gave you the gown from my kindness.”

In the past, Shen Jia Nian was overwhelmed in everything. She could not compare to her beauty, figure, family background, and even the man who liked Shen Jia Nian.Now that the Shen family has been defeated and Shen Jia Nian has no one to support her, she can finally feel proud and vent her long-pent-up anger.

Shen Jia thought that she was dependent on others, so she could only accept it, so forgive her for not daring to refute a single word.

Fortunately, the car was parked under the porch of Yunshui Hotel, so she no longer had to listen to Yin Shuyao's sarcasm one after another. Shen Jianian lowered his eyes and sighed silently.

The doorman in a black suit stepped forward and opened the rear door with a white gloved hand, while covering the roof of the car with his other hand to prevent the nobleman from bumping his head.

Yin Shuyao's anger still persisted, she rolled her eyes at the people around her, and got out of the car with her skirt in her hands.

Stepping on the soft red carpet, she walked into the hotel lobby with swaying steps without waiting for Shen Jianian in the car.

Without bothering the doorman, Shen Jianian pushed open the door on the other side, stepped on the ground with her toes, moved carefully, held up the hem of her star-studded skirt, and got out of the car.

The dress didn't fit well, she had to be more careful, otherwise Yin Shuyao would take the opportunity to get angry again if she damaged it.

The identities of the two are very different now, Yin Shuyao always takes pleasure in suppressing her.

Now she really can't afford such a dress.

Shen Jianian had no other decorations on her body. Her long, smooth black hair was only tied up in a bun loosely with an ordinary black hairpin, and the rest of her hair was scattered on her back.

A gust of autumn wind blew, the hair was flying, and the side face was calm and indifferent.

In such a cold night, there is a unique and charming charm.

Shen Jianian took out the cello from the trunk and carried it behind his back. He slowly entered the hotel and walked towards the elevator on the right.

Perhaps there were many guests coming to attend Mrs. Qin's birthday party tonight. Yin Shuyao, who came in before her, was still waiting anxiously in front of the elevator.

There were two tall and tall men standing in front of the other elevator. Shen Jianian didn't look sideways, but focused on the red numbers jumping above the elevator, but he just caught those two tall figures in his corner of the eye.

After waiting for a while, another elevator opened first, and two men stepped in.

Yin Shuyao couldn't wait any longer, so she tugged at Shen Jianian, disgusted with her stupidity and inflexibility: "What are you still doing in a daze, waiting to die, I didn't see this elevator arrive."

The high heels didn't fit well, and Shen Jia Nian was suddenly pulled by a force. The heavy cello behind her tilted to one side, and the force made her stagger.

After barely standing firm, he followed Yin Shuyao into the elevator.

"Stand over there, you stepped on my skirt! Shen Jianian, do you have long eyes to vent your anger?"

Just as Shen Jianian stood firm, she was pushed hard by Yin Shuyao, causing her to take two steps back, and the heavy white cello case she was carrying behind her hit the man's chest.

The man whose chin was poked frowned, and had no choice but to raise his neck and tilt his head to avoid the attack.

Lu Yanzhi on the side witnessed this scene, stroked the tip of his nose and chuckled: "Old Fu, Rang Rang, you are standing here to interfere with other people's affairs."

The eyes of the man called "Old Fu" were alienated and cold, and he glanced over lightly. Just one look was full of cold warning.

Lu Yanzhi surrendered on the spot and fell silent.

Who made this person have a cold and ruthless face, which is very capable of bluffing people.

The atmosphere in the car was tense, making people feel nervous. After Shen Jia Nian stabilized his body, he immediately turned around and apologized. The cello case almost hit the "old man" in the face again.

The man retreated again with a sullen face, and heard the girl say in a clear and low voice: "I'm sorry, sir."

Lu Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, looking at the girl in front of him whose appearance could be described as overwhelming, and smiled faintly in his heart.It was the first time I saw someone who was more indifferent than Fu Da, who was still a young girl.

Yin Shuyao's focus was always on her dress and makeup, fearing that if something was not perfect enough, she would be outdone by Shen Jianian next to her. Only then would she have enough time to pay attention to the other men in the elevator.

When she took a closer look, her eyes were instantly snatched away by the man on the left.

The light on the top of the elevator is particularly bright, with a cold white tone, covering the clear and three-dimensional facial contours of the man. It's all appropriate.Especially those dark and deep eyes, even if you just look at you casually, you can be seduced by him, and you are willing to do anything for him.

Whether in real life or in TV dramas, she has never seen such a handsome face.

Taking a deep breath, Yin Shuyao did not hide her surprise.

But the man just stared at Shen Jianian, as if appreciating some interesting toy, and teased her without hesitation: "Miss, is this your attitude when it comes to apologizing to others?"

In just one month, Shen Jia Nian had been made things difficult for him more times than he could count on both hands. His heart had been tempered many times and had become as immovable as a mountain.

Hearing this, she lost any of her previous pride and bowed obediently.

"sorry sir."

Those five words were still spoken, and there was no more word.

Fu Jichen rubbed a warm white jade handle in his palm, his eyes lowered and he didn't say a word.

The elevator dinged, and Yin Shuyao didn't want to admit that she was almost jealous to death.

Shen Jianian has this kind of capital, she can attract men's sideways and pity wherever she goes, no matter it's the proud and swan-like her in the past, or the lovely and pitiful her now.

After getting out of the elevator, Yin Shuyao's eyes were filled with poisonous annoyance, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You are the only one who knows how to seduce people."

Shen Jianian didn't know where she saw her seductive behavior, but she didn't defend herself.Yin Shuyao's hostility towards her had been revealed as early as the day her family was destroyed, and she didn't hide it in the slightest.

"At first glance, people think that they are a powerful and wealthy boss, and they don't even look at whether you are worthy of it or not." Yin Shuyao never tired of humiliating her.

She scanned Shen Jianian up and down with contemptuous eyes, she really didn't expect that this shabby dress that has been out of date for several years can also be made gorgeous by her.

so what?
After tonight, Shen Jia Nian doesn't even deserve the title of "Down and Out Daughter". She will become the mistress that everyone shouts about and will be scolded until she can't hold her head up.

I heard that Mr. Qin had a special hobby. If Shen Jianien fell into his hands, he would have to shed his skin even if he died.

At this moment, Shen Jianian was so stupid that he didn't know anything, and naively thought that he was here to perform a show.

After thinking about all this in her mind, Yin Shuyao felt much better. She raised her graceful swan neck and raised her red lips proudly.

　Let's write!
