After dreaming about the flowers of the high mountains, he actually?

Chapter 6 His weakness
The prayer beads have been given away by Zhong Wanying.

Naturally, I won’t wear it again in the future.

So she found a reason to excuse Wen Zhi: "I put it away because I couldn't bear to wear it. If you want to see me wearing it, you can only do it next time."

Wen Zhi heard that Zhong Wanying's words were perfunctory to her.

But in order to see it with his own eyes and feel at ease, Wen Zhi could only pretend not to understand: "The prayer beads match the lady's skin color very well. I also hope to see the lady wear them next time."

The smile on Zhong Wanying's lips faded a little, and she winked at Zhaoqin.

Teruoqin understood that he meant that if Wen Zhi asked about the string of Buddhist beads next time, he would just make up an excuse and say that the string of Buddhist beads was lost.

"Wen Zhi, have you been contacted by your father these days since you've been living here?" Zhong Wanying asked, flipping the Xiu jade bracelet on her wrist, changing the subject.

Wen Zhi shook his head: "My father...maybe he has forgotten that he has a daughter outside."

Zhong Wanying reached out and touched Wen Zhi's cheek: "Do you hate him?"

Wen Zhi didn't care: "It doesn't matter whether you hate it or not."

"Of course there is a difference between hating and not hating." Zhong Wanying carefully studied Wen Zhi's eyebrows: "I found that you and your father's eyebrows are really similar, especially these eyes, which are like a replica of him."

Wen Zhi turned away his face: "It's better if you don't look like him."

But Zhong Wanying said for no reason: "Actually, it looks pretty good."

Wen Zhi looked at Zhong Wanying without knowing why.

Zhong Wanying smiled, took the initiative to take Wen Zhi's hand, and said sincerely: "Your mother and I are irreconcilable friends. Although we are gone, our friendship is still there. Since I took you into the business, I just want to take good care of you. You Don't be burdened or feel like it's a nuisance, you can stay here forever as long as you want."

Live here forever...

Wen Zhi pursed his lips slightly and fell into memories.

Her mother died unexpectedly a year ago, and within a month of the funeral, her father said he wanted to marry her aunt.

Unable to accept this fact, she chose to leave home and was not taken back by the Wen family until a year later.

But the Wen family was different at that time. She was not doing well when she was taken back. Chong Wanying learned about her current situation and came to take her to the merchant in person.

She clearly remembers that she was picked up in a glorious manner that day, and no one in the Wen family dared to stop her.

She was grateful to Chong Wanying from the bottom of her heart.

But she won’t be here permanently.

The merchant is just her temporary refuge.

When the truth behind her mother's death is found out, she has to leave.

"Ma'am, something happened."

Before the harpist arrived, the sound came from the corridor first.

Chong Wanying raised her head when she heard the sound, and saw Zhaoqin hurriedly coming downstairs. A bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart, and she raised her voice and asked, "What happened?"

Zhaoqin walked quickly to Zhong Wanying and said something in Zhong Wanying's ear. After hearing this, Zhong Wanying's face changed greatly: "How could..."

Zhaoqin suddenly grabbed Zhong Wanying's excited hand and reminded her that Wen Zhi was there.

Zhong Wanying reacted and stopped what she was about to say.

Teruqin glanced at Wen Zhi.

Wen Zhi was very sensible and inadvertently adjusted her sitting posture and turned sideways. She knew there were some words she couldn't hear.

Chong Wanying raised her hand to signal Zhaoqin to come closer, and whispered: "Go and listen outside the door. If the old man does anything to Xiaojing, come down and call me immediately."

"Madam, don't worry, I understand." Teruqin turned around and went upstairs.

There was still half an hour before the meal started. Zhong Wanying changed her sitting posture from time to time and looked up upstairs from time to time, obviously restless.

At twelve o'clock at noon, the family banquet officially started.Wen Zhi thought there would be many business people, but after sitting down, she realized that it was only her and Zhong Wanying.

The businessman is a big family, and his descendants are prosperous. Mr. Shang has four sons, all of whom live in the old house.It's just that we don't usually eat together, we all cook separately.

As far as she knew, all four of the old man's sons were married. The eldest Shang was Shang Jing's father and Shang Hexing's father.However, Shang Hexing is the son of his ex-wife, and Chong Wanying is his successor.

The second, third, and fourth children are all on their side.

It stands to reason that today's family banquet will bring together several houses, and Wen Zhi, an outsider staying here, can come and join in the fun. Who would have expected that this family banquet would be deserted?
Teruqin came down from upstairs again.

Zhong Wanying stood up anxiously and came over to Zhaoqin to whisper in her ear. Zhong Wanying's hand suddenly tightened the jade bracelet on her wrist, her expression tense.

This time Wen Zhi did not look away. She vaguely read from Zhaoqin's mouth movements that Mr. Shang was angry for some reason and that everyone else was being scolded upstairs.

Considering Wanying's anxious and nervous look, is it her son Shang Jing who is being scolded?
It's also possible.

But Wen Zhi really couldn't imagine what kind of outrageous thing Shang Jing had done to make Mr. Shang furious on the day of the family banquet.

After Zhaoqin left, Zhong Wanying was even more lost than before. She couldn't sit still and left the table without taking two bites. Before leaving, she told Wen Zhi to eat well.

Wen Zhi didn't ask anything and nodded obediently.

Once Chong Wanying left, Wen Zhi was the only one on the huge dining table. Looking at the delicious food on the table, Wen Zhi raised the corners of his mouth.

It's all hers~
……

at the same time.

The air pressure in the study upstairs was so low that it was almost breathless.

Mr. Shang had an angry look on his face. Everyone else standing outside the desk had their heads lowered and their expressions were solemn.

Shang Hexing was the only one sitting on the sofa to rest, and no one dared to say anything wrong about him.

Today's wonderful family dinner was supposed to be a happy one. Unexpectedly, just before noon, the old man received a call and Shang Mingshu was arrested.

Shang Mingshu was the old man's third son. When he learned why Shang Mingshu was arrested, the old man became furious and handed everyone over to scold them one by one.Shang Jing was scolded the worst, to the point where he almost had to resort to family violence. If Shang Hexing hadn't been there, Shang Jing would have been scolded today.

When Mr. Shang was done getting angry, he walked to the sofa and asked, "He Xing, are you hungry?"

Shang Hexing asked, "Have you calmed down?"

Mr. Shang glared at Shang Jing and snorted: "I can't get rid of this anger."

"Excessive anger is harmful to the body." Shang Hexing stood up and adjusted his cuffs casually: "I have sent people to the police station to find out about Third Uncle. Just wait patiently for the results."

Mr. Shang sighed: "What good results can we wait for?"

Although he was angry, Mr. Shang was still rational and said calmly: "It's one thing to help with the investigation. You have just been promoted, so don't show up easily."

Shang Hexing's eyes showed smile lines: "Then you teach me slowly, and I'll go down to eat."

Mr. Shang nodded.

When Shang Hexing came out of the study, his assistant Chen Jinhuai immediately stepped forward and said, "We found out that the woman who framed Shang Jing had close contacts with Mr. Song of Shunhe Group half a month ago."

Shang Hexing walked downstairs slowly: "How much evidence can we get?"

Chen Jinhuai followed Shang Hexing: "We can get all the evidence, but the woman refuses to change her story and insists on her first testimony."

Shang Hexing said lightly: "Then find a way to make her change her mind. People always have weaknesses."

As human beings, there are always weaknesses.

Chen Jinhuai followed behind and thought silently, Mr. Shang's words are indeed true when applied to others, but they definitely cannot be applied to Mr. Shang himself.

Because Shang Hexing will never have a weakness in his life.
