Rose Manor

Putting down her phone, Shen Jianian sat quietly in front of the computer for a while, then got up and went to the cloakroom to change out of her home clothes. She wore a warm woolen sweater and coat, black jeans, and a pair of flat mid-calf boots.

Shen Jia Nian went out without makeup, only taking her mobile phone and scarf.

When he met Zhou Rongzhen coming out of the kitchen in the living room, Shen Jianian said hello: "I'm going out and I'll be back soon."

"Keep warm, don't look at the sunny day outside, the temperature is very low." Zhou Rongzhen warned her as he walked her to the door, "I just made a pot of winter melon and old duck soup, and I will have it when I get back."

"okay."

Shen Jianian pursed his lips and smiled.

After leaving Rose Manor, they waited by the roadside. As Zhou Rongzhen said, the temperature was indeed low. Shen Jia Nian wrapped herself in a scarf and buried her fair chin in the scarf to keep out the wind.

The scheduled car arrived 5 minutes later. She opened the door and got in, giving her address.

Sitting by the window of the cafe, Hu Yuzhi looked haggard, holding a cup of hot latte in both hands, looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows from time to time, her eyes anxious, and others could tell that she was waiting for someone.

A taxi stopped at the door, and the back seat door was pushed open. The woman who got out was tall and slender. Her dark gray coat did not look boring, but made her cold and reserved.

Shen Jianian walked into the cafe, searched the store for a moment, walked up to a round wooden table by the window, and sat down opposite Hu Yuzhi.

Putting her phone on the table, she took off her scarf and held it in her arms. She looked up at the person in front of her and waited for him to speak.

Seeing her indifferent look, Hu Yuzhi's blood surged in her heart, but she suppressed it.She did not forget the purpose of meeting Shen Jianian today, and said patiently, "What would you like to drink?"

Shen Jianian said politely to the approaching waiter: "A cup of hazelnut latte, thank you."

When the waiter left, Hu Yuzhi couldn't wait to clarify the purpose of her visit: "Tell me, how can you be willing to issue a letter of understanding and let your cousin go. She is getting married soon! Do you really not care about family ties?"

Shen Jianian raised his lips lightly, with a faint smile: "Aren't you going to say that I framed Yin Shuyao now?"

Hu Yuzhi's tense facial muscles trembled slightly and she was speechless.She already knew the whole story from the police. It was her daughter who secretly took Shen Jianian's private photos to threaten her to leave Yicheng.

How confused!

If she had known she was using this trick, she would have stopped her no matter what.

After a while, the waiter brought the hazelnut latte ordered by Shen Jia Nian. The rich fragrance spread, and Shen Jia Nian picked it up and took a sip unhurriedly.

"Don't you think it's too ironic to talk about family ties with me? Why didn't you care about family ties when you planned to send me to Qin Zhongtian's bed? Why didn't Yin Shuyao think that I was her cousin when he broke my mother's belongings?" Shen Jianian said in a calm tone. There was hatred in it, "Why do you want to install a camera in my bathing place? In each of these things, do you think about family ties at all?"

Hu Yuzhi was speechless, her fingers clinging to the side of the coffee cup.

"My good aunt, why are you silent?" Shen Jianian sneered, "Don't you want to talk to me?"

Hu Yuzhi closed her eyes, never realizing that Shen Jia Nian was so articulate before.

When her parents were alive, she was a lively and cheerful little princess, innocent, kind and ignorant of worldly affairs. After the family accident, she became taciturn, but she was also sensible and obedient, never aggressive.

She seemed not to recognize the person in front of her.

Shen Jianian seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and lowered his eyes to stare at the coffee: "People will change. If I remain the same as before, I will be bullied to death by you."

"Shen Jianian!" Hu Yuzhi frowned and almost started arguing with her again, but she held it back and said calmly, "Why are you so aggressive?"

"I made a deal with you directly." Shen Jianian looked at her with cold and decisive eyes, "I can issue a letter of understanding and let Yin Shuyao go -"

Hu Yuzhi's eyes lit up.

"But I have conditions." Shen Jianian was about to pour a bucket of ice water on her when her hope was aroused. "When your family bought the house, how much money did you take from my mother? Now that it is all returned, I will let her go. .Isn’t this too much to ask for?”

She thought about it carefully, and the end of this incident was nothing more than Yin Shuyao being detained for a few days and compensating her for some mental damages.Hu Yuzhi cared about Yin Shuyao's reputation and was worried that if the matter spread out for a long time, it would affect her marriage.This is undoubtedly the best time for her to negotiate.

Hu Yuzhi's expression froze, and he shouted in a low voice: "We can't afford that much money!"

Now that the company's performance has declined significantly, and seeing problems with the capital chain, he points to Yin Shuyao to marry into the Qin family and get help from the Qin family to tide over the difficulties.When Shen Jianian asked for so much money, didn't he push their family into desperation?
"This is my condition, please think about it carefully." Shen Jianian put down the coffee he had only taken a sip of, picked up his mobile phone and scarf, left his seat, and said a heartbreaking sentence, "I can afford to wait, but I don't know if Yin Shuyao can wait." rise."

As soon as she took a step forward, Hu Yuzhi gritted her teeth and agreed: "Okay!" Shen Jia Nian did not show a victorious expression as Hu Yuzhi expected. She turned sideways and glanced at Hu Yuzhi, whose face was ashen, with her clear eyes. Leave your bank card number.

The taxi stopped not far from Rose Manor, and Shen Jianian walked alone on the quiet road with his arms folded.Two rows of tall trees swayed their branches in the wind, a bit desolate.

The driver refused to drive in, saying it was difficult to turn around in front of her, so she got out of the car without wanting to argue.

The cool air between breaths makes people clear-headed.

Just as he was getting involved in the matter, a car horn suddenly sounded behind him. Shen Jia Nian was so frightened that he shrugged his shoulders and subconsciously jumped a step to the side.Qu Mo, who was driving, was helpless, stepped on the accelerator and drove to her side, stopping the car.

"Get in the car." Fu Jichen, who was sitting in the back seat, lowered the window.

Shen Jianian looked at the iron gate in front of him. Thinking that he had to walk a long way to the main building, he opened the car door and sat in.

As the car moved forward again, Fu Jichen glanced at the drooping person. Without asking her what she was doing out there, he took out something from the seat beside him and handed it to her.

A sandalwood box suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. Shen Jia Nian was stunned and asked, "What?"

Fu Jichen: "Open it and take a look."

Shen Jia Nian took it without interest and opened it. When he saw what was inside, his breathing suddenly stopped. He held it in front of his eyes and looked at it repeatedly. It was indeed her jade bracelet.

The bracelet, broken into four pieces, was wrapped in a handkerchief and stored in the bottom drawer of the bedside table.Now it's restored to its original state, with no broken flaws visible.

How did Fu Jichen do it?
Shen Jianian raised his eyes and looked at the man beside him in surprise. His eyes were half closed, his jawline was sharp and sharp, and he was playing with the familiar white jade lion between his fingers.

It seemed like there was nothing he couldn't do.

The car stopped under the porch of the main building. Qu Mo got out of the car, leaving the two of them in the car.

Fu Jichen raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at her face casually, unable to see how happy she was: "Not satisfied?" He took the bracelet back from her hand, turned it over twice and looked at it, "If you are not satisfied, buy another one. No matter how well-restored it is, it is still a defective product.”

"Do not."

Shen Jia Nian rushed over and snatched the bracelet back, fearing that he would accidentally break it again.Fu Jichen took advantage of the situation and hugged her waist, squinting his eyes and smiling lightly: "No, are you satisfied or dissatisfied?"

"I'm very satisfied." Shen Jianian answered clearly and stepped away from his arms.

She put the bracelet into the sandalwood box, closed the lid, and held it tightly in her hand. The depression that had previously filled her heart dissipated a little, and a trace of warmth flowed in.

Shen Jianian took a deep breath, lowered his head and said, "Thank you."

She had said thank you to him many times, but now she didn't know what else to say besides these two words.She was really grateful to him, her cello, her jade bracelet, if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have even a single thing around her to comfort her.

Fu Jichen patted her head: "Are you going to sit here all the time? Get off the car."

Shen Jia Nian pursed her lips, opened the car door, and got out with the sandalwood box. A little joy appeared in her eyes where Fu Jichen couldn't see it.

Lunch was ready and Zhou Rongzhen put it on the dining table. Shen Jianian went upstairs to put the jade bracelets away, washed his hands and went to the restaurant to eat.

Fu Jichen received a call and stood up to answer it by the floor-to-ceiling window. Shen Jia Nian did not move his chopsticks and sat waiting for him.

"Why don't you eat?" Fu Jichen came back with his cell phone, put it on the table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Shen Jia Nian remained silent and served him a bowl of soup first.

Fu Jichen raised his eyebrows. Is this a sign of goodwill to him?
After he took a sip of the soup, Shen Jianian said: "I spent more than 600 million on you earlier. I will remember it and I will pay it back to you soon." For the sake of her daughter, Hu Yuzhi will spare no effort to collect enough money in the shortest time.

Fu Jichen's throat rolled, he swallowed the hot soup in his mouth, his face darkened, he thought she had enlightened, but what she said was still so irritating.

"No need."

Fu Jichen loosened his hand and dropped the spoon into the soup bowl. There was a crisp sound and a few drops of soup splashed out.
