Chapter 21
When Wen Zhi heard the sound of something falling to the ground, he subconsciously turned around to look.

It was discovered that the coat she had worn from Red River rolled down from the car to the ground. Perhaps the buttons on the coat touched the ground and made a crisp sound.

Wen Zhi turned back to pick up her coat, but Shang Hexing grabbed her wrist: "There's no need to pick it up, just let the driver throw it away."

Wen Zhi stared at his wrist. His palm was as dry as ever: "It's a shame to lose it."

But Shang Hexing asked her: "Does the clothes fit?"

Wen Zhi remembered how loose the coat felt when it was put on her body, and she shook her head: "It doesn't fit."

Shang Hexing said: "That's not a pity."

It is a truth that it is a pity to throw away anything that is not suitable for you, so Wen Zhi did not refute, he just took his hand away from Shang Hexing, turned around and went in first.

She quickened her pace, fearing that someone would see her walking with Shang He, because she would soon become a thorn in the merchant's side, both inside and outside.She didn't want her next journey to be difficult, so she could only stay away consciously.

Shang Hexing did not go with him. He stood with one hand in his pocket and his eyes fell on Wen Zhi's back as he hurried away.

She was scared, and he knew it.

"Mr. Shang."

The driver picked up the dropped coat and came forward. Shang Hexing glanced at it and said, "Throw it away."

The driver was originally going to throw it away, but after picking up the coat, he found a string of beads under the coat.

The color and luster of the beads are very good at first glance, and they are valuable items.

The driver had driven for Shang Hexing for many years, but he had never seen Shang Hexing wearing a bead string, so he guessed it was Miss Wen's personal belongings.

"Mr. Shang, this string of beads..." The driver picked up the string of beads.

Shang Hexing glanced at it and reached out to take it back: "Covered by clothes?"

The driver nodded.

Shang He understood clearly. It turned out that the crisp sound when it hit the ground just now was the string of beads.

……

It was near five o'clock in the afternoon.

Chong Wanying waited anxiously all afternoon, and finally waited until Shang Jing came home.The moment she saw Shang Jing step through the door, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell away.

"You bastard!"

Zhong Wanying was furious and prepared to scold her, but when she saw her son's embarrassed look, her anger immediately subsided.

Shang Jing called out: "Mom."

She shouted "Mom", which made Zhong Wanying feel soft and distressed. She stepped forward and grabbed Shang Jing's arm: "You really gave our businessman face."

Shang Jing didn't dare to hide, he grinned and endured the pinching pain on his arm.

Chong Wanying pushed Shang Jing around: "You're not suffering in there, are you?"

Shang Jing shook his head: "No."

After entering and completing the process, I stayed in the small dark room for the whole afternoon. I didn't suffer any pain, but I was a little nervous.

After all, this was the first time in his life that he entered that place as a suspect.

"Being in such a mess all night is not a punishment, so how can it be considered a punishment?" Zhong Wanying became more and more distressed as she looked at her: "Are you hungry? I asked Zhao Qin to prepare the meal early, and it's hot right now , go eat some."

Chong Wanying felt sorry for her son and temporarily ignored the rules.

Shang Jing, on the other hand, realized that although he was hungry, he still remembered to show up to his grandfather first.

But when he said this, Zhong Wanying looked unhappy: "The old man almost did something to you last night."

Shang Jing recalled last night and was still frightened: "It was the eldest brother who spoke for me."

"Of course I know. If your elder brother hadn't spoken for you last night, you would have been torn to pieces." Chong Wanying waved her hand, "Go ahead, the food will be heated for you and we'll eat together when you come back."

Shang Jing came to the back garden alone.It is the season when flowers are in full bloom. There are butterflies flying everywhere in the flower beds, and the fragrance of flowers is very pleasant.

In the pavilion surrounded by flower beds, Shang Jing saw the old man teaching a five-year-old child to practice calligraphy.This child is the youngest son of his fourth uncle, named Shang Jiangshan. He just turned five years old at the beginning of the year, which is a carefree age.

At this time, Shang Jiangshan held a pen in his hand, but his eyes were chasing butterflies and collecting nectar, and he was not thinking about calligraphy at all.

When Shang Jing came over, he saw Shang Jiangshan trying to escape, but the sharp-eyed old man grabbed him by the collar and severely criticized him: "It's been an afternoon, and I haven't made any progress at all."

Shang Jiangshan lowered his head: "Grandpa, I don't like calligraphy."

The old man asked: "Then what do you like?"

Shang Jiangshan suddenly raised his head, his eyes sparkling, he waved his hand and pointed at the flower bed and said, "I like butterflies and bees."

The old man said earnestly: "Butterflies and bees are just scenery on the road of your life, just take a look at them."

Shang Jiangshan tilted his head and retorted: "Why can I only take a look? I heard from adults that Third Uncle loves to attract bees and butterflies. I like butterflies and bees, and I also want to attract bees and butterflies."

As soon as these words came out, the old man looked embarrassed and was so angry that he picked up the ruler next to him and said: "You bastard, don't imitate the good ones and imitate the bad ones."

Shang Jiangshan was startled and quickly picked up the brush: "I don't attract bees or butterflies anymore. I write, and I write many, many words."

The old man just pretended to scare Shang Jiangshan and was reluctant to take action. He did this every time, but it worked every time.

"grandfather."

Shang Jing walked towards the pavilion.

The old man raised his eyes and glanced at him with a sullen expression: "Hey, I'm back after drinking tea."

Shang Jing had a defeated expression on his face. When Shang Jiangshan saw him, he dropped his brush and ran towards Shang Jing: "Brother Shang Jing!"

Shang Jing caught him: "Be careful."

"Hehe, brother Shang Jing is here to catch you, so you won't fall." Shang Jiangshan smiled happily.

In Shang Jiangshan's impression, the uncle has two sons, the second brother Shang Jing is the easiest to get close to, and the other eldest brother Shang Hexing. Shang Jiangshan is most afraid of him. It's the pressure of the aura.Shang Hexing never treats anyone in the business harshly, and his natural aura is enough to intimidate everyone.

At this moment, Shang Jiangshan wanted to stick to Shang Jing like candy: "Brother Shang Jing, I haven't seen you for two days."

Yesterday was a day, today is a day.

Shang Jing hugged Shang Jiangshan: "I'm busy with work."

Shang Jiangshan asked: "Are you done?"

Shang Jing shook his head: "No."

Shang Jiangshan looked distressed: "Brother Shang Jing, you have worked so hard."

Shang Jing stretched out his hands and rubbed Shang Jiangshan's hair.

The old man looked at Shang Jing: "This trip will be unforgettable, right?"

Shang Jing smiled bitterly: "It's so dangerous and unforgettable."

"What are you doing now?" The old man said with a straight face, "The more dangerous thing is your third uncle."

The expression on Shang Jing's face turned solemn: "This situation was obviously carefully planned by the other party, and it happened to be unbiased just in time for the eldest brother's promotion...Grandpa, who do you think Third Uncle offended?"

"Who are you offending?" The old man snorted heavily.

He waved to Shang Jiangshan to come over and continue writing.

Then he made room and came out from behind the table with a cane: "Your third uncle is not engaged in business or politics. Only he knows who he has offended."

Shang Jing was still frightened: "When I came out, I met the third uncle's lawyer. He said that this matter is very complicated and maybe..."

Maybe, Shang Mingshu will be sentenced in the end.
