Rose Manor

On Monday, at nine o'clock in the morning, Shen Jianian reported to the symphony orchestra studio on time. She arrived just in time, as the symphony orchestra was preparing for the performance.

There is no doubt about Shen Jianian's skills, he only needs to worry about getting along with the other members.

For the next period of time, Shen Jianian went to the rehearsal room of the studio to practice every day. When he got home, he was surrounded by cats and dogs. Then he waited for Fu Jichen to come back from work, sat down with him for dinner, and chatted about their respective fields of work. His life was as smooth as water. .

There are always people who want to break such peaceful days.

In the evening of this day, the setting sun turned the sky orange-red. Shen Jia Nian came out of the studio with the cello on his back and walked to the parking place without a parasol.

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere, and the next second, her wrist was grabbed. Before she could react, she was pulled a few steps to the side.

Shen Jia Nian was so frightened that he couldn't scream. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the person holding his wrist. She was a woman with long, slightly curly hair and wearing a sweetheart-neck chiffon skirt that was neither blue nor green.

After a few glances, Shen Jianian recognized the other person as Yin Shuyao.

Shen Jia Nian wanted to throw her hand away, but he was carrying a heavy piano case and could not move easily. He could only remind her loudly: "Shu Yao, what are you doing?"

Walking to the door of a coffee shop in the park, Yin Shuyao finally let go of her hand and pushed open the door of the coffee shop. The refreshing coolness in the room hit her face, bringing with it the aroma of coffee.

Yin Shuyao grabbed the chain bag at her side and looked at the person in front of her eagerly. She needed to make some mental preparation before she was sure that this person was Shen Jiannian.

Because this is a completely unfamiliar face.

"Jia...Jia Nian." Although she was sure in her heart that she was Shen Jia Nian, when Yin Shuyao opened her mouth to say hello, she still stumbled and looked unnatural, "We haven't seen each other for many years, let's chat for a while."

If she hadn't been desperate, if her parents hadn't been whispering in her ears every day, she wouldn't have wanted to lower herself and beg Shen Jianian in a low voice.

She waited for a long time and finally found such an opportunity to get close to Shen Jianian. How could she be willing to miss it.

She knew that Shen Jia Nian usually had a private driver to pick him up when traveling. She had seen that driver before. He was wearing a tight suit and his tight and strong muscles were visible. He was no different from a bodyguard.

Shen Jia read at Yin Shuyao intently for a while, weighed in his mind, and finally walked into the coffee shop. She was wearing flat shoes and walked almost silently. The crisp sound of high heels in her ears came from Yin Shuyao's feet. Shen Jianian lowered his head and saw that Yin Shuyao was wearing a pair of silver high-heeled sandals. The plastic soles made a loud sound.

The two of them found a relatively secluded corner and sat down. Yin Shuyao pursed her lips and smiled: "Jianian, what do you want to drink?"

"Just plain water will do." Shen Jianian has been drinking medicine to regulate his body recently, and has banned coffee and other drinks.

Yin Shuyao didn't force her, but asked her for a glass of boiled water and ordered a latte for herself.

Shen Jianian took a sip of water, his attitude was neither cold nor hot, and his mood was very light. He calmly laid his eyes on Yin Shuyao and glanced back and forth twice.

Yin Shuyao loves beauty very much. She used to always wear beautiful fashions when going out, and she was dressed up beautifully. From her hair to her toenails, everything looked exquisite.

Nowadays, she has changed a lot. Her hair is dry and lackluster, and the skin on her face is sagging. Even if she applies makeup, she can't cover her ridges. If you read her correctly, the dress on her body should have been stained during washing. Dye into a color that is neither blue nor green. The fingers holding the coffee cup were bare without manicure.

He was so unlike the Yin Shuyao she knew.

However, people change, and she is no longer the Shen Jianian she used to be.

While Shen Jia Nian was sizing up Yin Shuyao, Yin Shuyao was also sizing her up silently. Shen Jia Nian was doing better than she imagined.

Her long black hair is thick and smooth, almost reaching her waist. Her skin is plump and moist, and there are no signs of plastic surgery. The lavender long dress she is wearing is simple in style, but it looks like a luxury brand at first glance. She wears it with a gentle milky white knitted cardigan. She didn't wear any jewelry. The only thing that people couldn't take their eyes away from was the diamond ring on her ring finger. The large diamond inlaid in it was dazzling under the light.

Yin Shuyao couldn't tell how much this diamond ring cost. It must have been a gift from Fu Jichen, so it wouldn't be much cheaper.

Fingers clasped around the coffee cup, the jealousy surging in Yin Shuyao's heart was about to engulf her. On her face, she pretended to be happy to see you again after a long separation: "Jianian, I almost didn't recognize you." There were tears in her eyes, as if Crying with joy.

Shen Jia Nian looked at her quietly, the words Fu Jichen had said to her came to mind, and showed no other emotions.

Yin Shuyao suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and stared at the coffee in the cup, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice, looking sad and lonely: "Did Fu Jichen say something to you, so you refused to come to see me? I was in the box that day. I was waiting for you here, but it turned out that Fu Jichen came to keep the appointment. Later, when I called you, I found that my number had been blocked, so I guessed it. What happened in the past... I don’t want to defend myself. I was young and was instigated. I only targeted you when I made a mistake, but I have never hated you. Jianian, you are my sister, how could I really hurt you. In the past few years, I regret every time I think about it..."

The tears in her eyes turned into tears, dripping down and hitting her legs.

Yin Shuyao didn't seem to expect that she would cry. She hurriedly looked for a tissue to wipe her tears, but she couldn't find it. At this time, a white and slender hand stretched out from the other side, holding a tissue and handing it to her.

Shen Jianian took it out of his bag.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yin Shuyao's tear-filled eyes, and she knew that Shen Jianian would be soft-hearted. She took the tissue and wiped her tears, then continued: "Do you still remember? We used to lie in the same bed and share each other's secrets. I really envy us that we didn't have any worries at that time. If only we didn't grow up. "

She quietly raised her eyelids and saw Shen Jianian's eyes staring into the void, as if she was brought into memories by her words.

Yin Shuyao said: "When I saw what you went through on the Internet, I hid in the quilt and cried for a long time. It would be great if we could be by your side at that time."

Shen Jianian never spoke, and listened to Yin Shuyao while drinking water.

"Actually, our life has not been very good these years." Yin Shuyao continued to express her misery to gain sympathy, "Fu Jichen should have told you. I got married and divorced. My husband's family treated me very badly. I was pregnant with two children. The children were not saved.”

Speaking of this, she seemed very sad and buried her head deeply.

A feeling of surprise flashed through Shen Jia Nian's heart, but he finally couldn't bear it anymore. He put a pack of tissues in front of her and persuaded her in a soft voice: "Don't cry."

Yin Shuyao sniffed and tried her best to hold back her tears, but her tears were like a river bursting its banks and she couldn't control it. If she had just pretended to shed tears, as she continued to speak, she felt that fate was too cruel to her and couldn't help crying.

"The company at home was acquired by my husband's family, and my father was given a casual job. My father couldn't stand the anger, so he resigned soon after. He originally wanted to start a business again, but he was cheated by his partner and lost all his savings. It was all empty. We left Yicheng, where we had lived for decades, and came to Beicheng. My dad never gave up, and found another opportunity to open a factory, still doing building materials as before. Business in Beicheng is not that easy. , the factory is about to be unsustainable..."

Yin Shuyao wiped her tears as she spoke and used up a pack of tissues.

What she said was half-truth. After Yin Chengde resigned from the company, he was instigated by others and fell into bad habits. He lost all his savings for decades and owed foreign debts. He had no way to ask for help, so he finally set his sights on Shen Jia Nian, so he came to Beicheng to ask for money from Shen Jia Nian. At that time, Shen Jianian was very ruthless. Not only would she not give him a penny, she would also treat him with cold words.

Yin Chengde refused to give up and ran to the Junshan Group Building to block people, hoping to ask Fu Jichen for money. His abacus was good, and there were elites coming and going in the Junshan Group building. Fu Jichen would definitely not have too much entanglement with him because of his face, and would rather spend money to send people away. After all, he is also Shen Jianian's uncle.

At that time, Yin Chengde was so addicted that he really lost his dignity and face.

Unfortunately, he didn't stop Fu Jichen. Fortunately, she met Fu Jianfang, the fourth young lady of the Fu family. After he revealed his identity, Fu Jianfang signed a check for 50 million yuan without saying a word.

Yin Chengde got a huge sum of money and returned to Yicheng with satisfaction.

Hu Yuzhi was worried that he would lose everything by using it again, so she snatched the check directly and threatened him with death. Only then did he give up the idea and use the money to do business.

If you are a smart person, you might be able to use the 50 million principal to make a comeback.

But Yin Chengde's brain is not as good as when he was young. In Yicheng, he worked hard and failed to make a name for himself, and he spent very little money.

The family moved to Beicheng and started their old business. They opened a building materials factory. At first, they could barely maintain a balance of payments. However, in the past year, the business has begun to decline, and it is not far from bankruptcy. Accustomed to living a prosperous and smooth life, the family refuses to be mediocre and always wants to return to their former glory. The more impatient they are, the worse their life will be. If it continues, they will not be able to pay the rent of the factory.

Seeing that their survival was in question, something about Shen Jia Nian suddenly broke out on the Internet, and they began to think about it.
