Shen Que stood there with a pair of empty eyes, as if he could see, staring at the man who was getting closer and closer to him.

The next second, a man's cold breath hit his face, and his big, knuckled hand held the red velvet box and handed it to Shen Que.

A low male voice sounded above the head, like trickling water, sweet and soft: "Send this to Miss Shen, hope you like it."

Shen Que's heart was beating fast and she didn't answer for a long time. Ling Xi felt the gaze around her and pushed her arm gently.
Shen Que came back to his senses, reached out and took the box and held it in his palm: "Thank you, thank you."

The corners of Jiang Jingchen's lips raised, and his blue eyes stared at her: "You're welcome."

Everyone saw this scene in their eyes and felt that Fourth Master Jiang came here specially for Shen Que.

Jiang Jingchen turned around and his smile disappeared: "Mr. Wen, Mr. Zhou, let's go first."

Zhou Qingyu: "Didn't Fourth Master want to discuss cooperation? It's almost over now, let's move to the private room."

Jiang Jingchen: "Would it be too much trouble?"

Wen Qingfan: "No, cooperation is important, please!"

Seeing this, Jiang Jingchen said nothing. He glanced at Shen Que one last time from the corner of his eye and followed him away.

Zhou Ming, Wen Fan, Qian Rui and Jiang Huan naturally followed.

Before leaving, Qian Rui told Wenqing to take good care of Shen Que.

After sending them away with warm assurances, the gazes on Shen Que still did not dissipate.

Everyone wanted to know what Jiang Jingchen gave Shen Que.

Wen Yurou stood aside, speaking in a husky voice, saying what everyone was thinking: "Sister, what did Fourth Master Jiang give you? Please open it and take a look?"

Shen Que was still thinking about Jiang Jingchen and didn't want to open it when he heard this. Suddenly, a slightly familiar voice sounded not far away.

attracted everyone's attention.

"Where is Fourth Master?"

The assistant who came in with Jiang Jingchen just now did not leave. When he saw her coming, he said in a respectful tone: "Fourth Master is discussing business in the box, and Miss Qingque is having fun in the banquet hall."

"I got it." After Qingque finished speaking, the assistant naturally took the small bag in her hand and followed her. After a while, several familiar friends came up to chat with her.

"Just now I was wondering why the fourth master was alone, but he was at the back."

"Miss Qingque has been with Fourth Master since she was a child. She has a close relationship with her and is always by his side. Something must have happened today, so she didn't come in together."

"That's right. Hey, Miss Qingque's clothes are so beautiful. I wonder which designer made them."

"If you ask, you'll know."

Most of the people who originally wanted to see what Shen Que had in his hand left at once.

Wen Yurou was also called away to prepare for the performance that was waiting for her.

Wenqing retracted her gaze and looked at Shen Que: "let's go and have a rest."

Shen did not move, his whole body was in a daze.

"What's wrong with you?" She patted her shoulder tenderly.

Shen Que's voice was deep: "What does that person have to do with Jiang Jingchen?"

Wenqing didn't understand: "Ah, who are you talking about?"

"Blue bird."

Wenqing didn't feel Shen Que's emotional change, thinking it was just curiosity. She turned to look at Qingque in the crowd and said lightly: "She and Jiang Jingchen are boyfriend and girlfriend. They are childhood sweethearts and have lived together since childhood.
She was always by her side wherever she went. Jiang Jingchen was very indulgent to her, as if he had heard that he was going to get engaged this year. "

pat!

The box slipped from the palm and fell to the ground, the brooch inside peeking out.

Wenqing looked back when she heard the sound, and saw Shen Que's pale face and the dropped box, and was a little at a loss: "You, what's wrong with you?"

Ling Xi picked up the box and supported Shen Que, looking at Wen Qing seriously: "Second Young Master Wen, are you serious? Fourth Master Jiang is getting engaged to that Qingque?"

You are right? "

Wenqing didn't know why, and didn't understand why they had such a big reaction. She nodded blankly: "That's right. Everyone in the circle knows it. Why did I lie to you?"

Mrs. Jiang, the only one in the Jiang family, once personally said at a press conference that Qingque is the only granddaughter-in-law of her family and she will be engaged when she reaches adulthood.Jiang Jingchen did not deny that Qingque would reach adulthood in the second half of this year, and the engagement should also be on that day.

Ling Xi frowned. There was no such item in the information?Where is the mistake?

"Are you okay?" Wenqing asked again.

Ling Xi shook her head and said nothing. Shen Zhen didn't say a word. All he could think about was that Jiang Jingchen was getting engaged.

"I'm tired, I'm going to rest for a while."

With that said, Shen Que stood up straight and walked farther away step by step relying on his memory. Ling Xi wanted to help him, but his outstretched hand was missed.

Wenqing is a little uneasy. Is she really okay?A friend came to call him, thinking that nothing would happen if the maid followed him, so he went elsewhere.

-

Shen Que came to the balcony bench outside the banquet hall and sat down, his mood still not calming down.

Ling Xi stood beside him: "Miss, there must be something wrong. There is no such thing in our investigation.
Maybe, maybe he doesn't..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Que interrupted: "Go and tell my brother not to be angry and contact him later."

"Can"

"go."

"Yes, Miss."

Ling Xi left, and Shen Que sat alone on the bench, his empty eyes looking downcast, and memories of his childhood flashed through his mind.

It was raining heavily and the sky was gloomy. The cold air felt like a knife on my face, causing a bone-piercing pain.

Shen Que, who was adopted, was once again abandoned by his adoptive parents and left at the gate of the orphanage because he could not speak at the age of three.

Her clothes were wet from the rain and covered with mud. Her thin body huddled up in a ball, shivering, and no one noticed her.

She thought she was going to die, but suddenly her body was picked up and a cry for help filled her ears.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on a clean bed with a young man lying next to him.

The boy's eyes were tightly closed, his skin was fair, and his nose was straight. The three-year-old Shen was indeed a little panicked.

She subconsciously wanted to run, but as soon as her weak body made a move, the young man's warm hands grabbed her back.

Shen Que was frightened, cowering, his eyes red, like a frightened rabbit.

The young man's voice was pleasant and he gently comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay. This is a hospital."

Those deep blue eyes were as bright as the stars, and the young man's gentle and friendly smile slowly calmed Shen Zhe's uneasy heart.

Shen Que stayed in the hospital for a week, and the boy stayed with her for a week.

After she was discharged from the hospital, the boy took her back to the orphanage. Only then did she know that the boy was a child in the orphanage because he was older than the other children.

She often helps the nurse at the orphanage with chores and is very sensible. This time, she happened to meet Shen Que and saved her because she was taking out the trash.

Shen indeed couldn't speak, and no one knew her name. The only person she was close to at that time was the boy.

The young man often coaxed her, accompanied her, and taught her how to speak. One day, the young man took a red rope bell and coaxed her in front of her: "Call me, brother, and I'll give this to you."

Shen Que wanted to get it, but the young man refused to give it to her. Shen Que held it in so hard that his eyes turned red.

When the young man saw this, he immediately compromised and knelt down to give her: "Brother is wrong. If you don't shout, don't shout. I'll give it to you, okay?"

The young man put the red string in the girl's palm and pointed at the bell to read: "My brother has given you a name, Shen Que, I'm sure it's true.

May you always be steadfast, honest, and upright. "

Shen Que stared at him, engraving his words in his bones.

Fast forward two years, Shen Que is still unable to speak, with a red rope bell tied to his ankle, following the boy every day, like a follower.

These two years have been her most relaxed and happiest days.

But the happy time is always short.
