Chapter 37

This is an elegant Chinese-style courtyard, with circular arches and corner stone masonry complementing each other, gray mud walls combined with light red roof tiles, it looks fresh and atmospheric.

Dense bamboo stands on both sides of the house in two rows along the path. The leaves are verdant and lush. If it is in summer, it must be a good place to cool off from the heat.

I don't know how many properties like this Shen Yuan still has, but I just think that he has a good eye for investing in houses.

A group of us got out of the car and entered the small courtyard. A middle-aged aunt in her forties came out of the main house. She was dressed in plain blue clothes and smiled gently when she saw everyone.

Shen Yuan then said to her: "Aunt Chen, please take Mrs. Ma to the bathroom to take a bath, and prepare a set of clean clothes for her by the way."

Aunt Chen nodded and gestured something with gestures, and I realized she couldn't speak.

After reading it, Shen Yuan went on to say: "We will have dinner here at night, just make some simple preparations."

Hearing this, Aunt Chen came to help Mrs. Ma.But Mrs. Ma looked puzzled, and then followed Aunt Chen into the back room after a pause.

I saw that they had gone far away, and the question that had been suppressed for a long time erupted in an instant. I was about to interrogate Shen Yuan, but he took a step ahead and asked me back: "Aren't you at work?"

"Huh?" I was reminded by him, and I suddenly remembered more than ten colleagues in the department, who were still waiting for my takeaway.Immediately anxious like an ant on a hot pot, he subconsciously pulled Shen Yuan's left hand to check the time on his watch.

It was already 16 o'clock in the afternoon.

Cold sweat broke out on my forehead, I put down his hand, and said anxiously: "The car key, Shen Yuan, can you lend me the car key? I'm running out of time."

But he said quietly: "No need to go, it's too late."

I didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, and I was about to rush out to take a taxi, when I heard his voice behind me: "Go now, when you arrive, the whole company will be off work."

My hand was startled when I opened the door, and when I turned around, I wanted to cry, and murmured: "I was absent from work on the first day of work. I don't know if I will be fired."

Shen Yuan was amused by my expression, he smiled happily and said loudly: "Lin Yue, you are good enough, do you know what your company's Mr. Yue called me this afternoon? He said you got involved in the sales department. After a few hundred dollars from a colleague, they ran away, and the colleagues in the whole department waited until the afternoon work time started, and none of them had lunch."

I was dumbfounded when I heard this: "How can this happen..." Suddenly, I heard something else from his words, and said in surprise: "Why did Mr. Yue call you? Could it be that they hired me because of you?" Relationship?"

He gave me a blank look: "I wanted to help you find a job, so you could move out as soon as possible. I didn't expect you to lose all face."

I explained: "Isn't this happening for a reason?"

He frowned: "I just recharged your phone bill in the morning. Is there a reason why you don't know how to make a call?"

I was taken aback for a moment, and he actually charged the phone bill for me.

I didn't know what to say for a while, my heart was surging, and I held back a sentence for a long time: "I'm sorry, I will work hard in the future, and I won't embarrass you again."

Unexpectedly, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he asked me in a deep voice, "Apologizing is your hobby?"

I shook my head not knowing what he was talking about.

Shen Yuan stood up from the sofa, turned his back to look out the window and said, "Forget it, you don't want to go to the company anymore."

In a hurry, I quickly said: "Don't, please help me and beg for mercy, I will do a good job."

He turned his face sideways, and said with a half-smile: "Now your job is to assist me. If you successfully acquire Ma Shi this time, I will also send you a red envelope."

I don't know why Shen Yuan would blackmail a pregnant woman and ask to buy her dead husband's company to make things worse.In my mind, he had his reasons for doing this after all.I was about to ask in detail, when I saw Mrs. Ma had finished her shower, put on a maternity dress, and walked into the room cautiously.

Aunt Chen helped her to sit on the single-seater sofa opposite me.

Mrs. Ma's hair was tied back, her skin was fair, and there was a touch of classical beauty in her gestures.

She glanced at me, then cast her eyes on Shen Yuan, and asked softly: "Just now I suddenly remembered that we met at a certain charity dinner. If I remember correctly, you should be Qi Li Mr. Shen of the group."

Shen Yuan said: "Mr. Ma and I are also old friends. Qili Group and Ma's are long-term cooperative partners."

She smiled: "Since you are my husband's friend, then I won't go around in circles. I want to ask, why did you say that in the villa area before? Do you know that I am not from this world?"

I was astonished to hear her say that.

However, Shen Yuan seemed to have noticed it long ago, and said casually: "The smell of pollen on your body is a kind of tracker used by time travellers. As long as you are contaminated with this kind of pollen, no matter where the target goes, the tracker will find it. It's just that Strangely, the development and use of this pollen has long been lost, and I only smelled it once when I was a child in my grandfather's collection room."

Mrs. Ma turned pale in astonishment, and it took a long time to realize: "So you asked me to take a bath just now, and you specifically asked Aunt Chen to light aromatherapy in the bathroom, just to wash away the smell of pollen?"

Shen Yuan nodded his head lightly, and thoughtfully said: "This kind of pollen can't be washed away except for the antidote of the tracker, and the aromatherapy is also to cover up the smell as much as possible."

I was dumbfounded when I heard it, and interjected to ask Shen Yuan: "Wouldn't the person who was following Mrs. Ma find this place?"

Shen Yuan stared at Mrs. Ma, and said lightly: "So, to untie the bell, you have to tie it. If you want me to help you, you must tell me what happened to you, the person who followed you And who is it?"

As the sun went down, the smart sensor lights in the room came on, and the yellowish light was extremely soft. With the coffee-colored furniture, there was a feeling of warmth and tranquility.

However, Mrs. Ma's first sentence was a bit out of tune with this harmony.

I saw her eyes were empty, and her mind seemed to drift into the galaxy of long time. She said: "I am not the master of this body. My real name is Chai Yuluo. I come from the era 100 years ago, which is you. Now we are talking about the era of warlords.”

I couldn't fully understand what she meant, but I didn't dare to interrupt her, so I could only stare at her intently, and heard her speak slowly, telling us a strange thing.
