Chapter 50
Xu Jinman did not hold back his expression.
Xu Yincheng stared at her for two seconds, and asked, "What's the matter? Hucheng is so afraid that I will rob you?"
The meaning of the joke is quite obvious, but his face and temperament are not suitable for jokes.
Xu Jinman couldn't tell what was wrong, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Xu Tao with a normal expression on the opposite side, and suddenly understood.
What's strange is Xu Yincheng's attitude switch.
She found that Xu Yincheng's expression seemed to be softer only when facing her, other than that, there were very few other expressions on that face.It is more cold, and there is also an unexplainable ruthlessness.
Xu Jinman answered: "Yes."
"Brother, how dare you snatch it from you?" Xu Yincheng said, "I also pay attention to the super chat between you two."
"..."
"But the autograph my colleague asked for, and that wedding gift was also given by us together."
Xu Jinman: "What colleague?"
She tried to find some information about Xu Yincheng's identity from Xu Yincheng's answer.
Xu Yincheng replied very cleverly: "Well, the wedding gift hasn't been opened yet? He and your wife are in the same university, and they have been in the same university for two years. He has seen her drama club's performance, and he likes her very much."
As he spoke, he moved the raw mangoes that the servant had just brought to Xu Jinman: "Go back and unwrap the presents, and you'll know."
Xu Jinman: "Oh."
"Return to this expression?" Xu Yincheng pulled his lower lip.
Xu Jinman: "..."
How should I put it, it's not her expression that she wants.
It's because she might be suffering from 'Xu Family Stress Disorder', she has to analyze every word Xu Yincheng said.
She always felt like someone was trying to hurt her.
Xu Jinman said, "I'll give it to you tomorrow."
Hearing this, Xu Yincheng suddenly raised his hand and rubbed Xu Jinman's head: "Look at how stingy you are."
Xu Jinman: "..."
Was she being patted on the head?
"Let's talk, I'll go to the study to deal with something."
Xu Tao stood up from the sofa, Xu Yincheng looked away from Xu Jinman's face at the same time, and said calmly: "Dad, let's talk about the business."
Xu Jinman suspected that if Xu Tao hadn't wanted to leave, Xu Yincheng would have left him alone for a while longer.
Xu Tao: "What's the matter?"
"The land in the northern district." Xu Yincheng leaned on the sofa, his eyes were cold and sharp: "I haven't been at home for several months, and I don't know anything. The things were taken by Manman. It is appropriate for her to suffer such a big loss." ?”
Xu Tao: "Where is it? Don't you think she's doing very well now? The family also supports her. It's just that the land in the northern district is too big, she can't do it at all."
Xu Jinman didn't speak, but listened quietly. Is Xu Yincheng asking her for that piece of land?
It's almost impossible.
Earlier, before the urban planning was over there, it was probably possible. Now, with the assistance of the authorities, a playground and recreation area are being built there. It is difficult to estimate the future benefits.
Xu Tao hates her so much, how could he give it to her?
She wants to see the final result.
"Manman, do you want to do that piece of land?"
Xu Jinman was thinking about it when Xu Yincheng suddenly asked her.
When Xu Tao heard him ask this question, he frowned and said, "She can't do it. If this land is really handed over to her, then the project will be ruined in half! Yincheng, you don't know the recent pressure on the Xu family, the HP Han family's Bian is now on an equal footing with us on the business map, and this piece of land is a big gain for the Xu family in the short term! Don't joke!"
Xu Yincheng didn't seem to be listening, and said patiently, "Manman?"
Xu Jinman noticed that Xu Tao's gaze was on her, she raised her eyes a little, and met Xu Tao's gloomy eyes, she was convinced that Xu Yincheng did have this ability.
Of course she was very happy to make Xu Tao feel so uncomfortable.
It's disgusting that a domestic violence offender can still stand in front of her openly.
But Xu Tao can't be pushed into a hurry, and Xu Li is also a difficult one.
Xu Yincheng really loves Yuanshen's younger sister, and she hasn't been in Beicheng all the time. Once they leave, if they do something, especially Xu Tao, she can't compete with her strength.
At least not now.
She needs to think about the future, and she also has to think about Shen Shu.
Besides, the Xu family's water is too deep, and she hasn't figured out Xu Yincheng's motive for being so kind to her.
"I think I want to." Xu Jinman said leisurely, "But that piece of land is really big, and I can't make the whole piece."
Xu Yincheng: "Then half."
Xu Jinman was silent.
"Okay."
It sounds like a challenge.
Xu Tao: "...Yin Cheng!"
"Dad, it's settled."
On the second floor, Shen Shu looked at the room.
There is a huge photo with a bare back on the wall, and it can be recognized at a glance that it is Xu Jinman.
The style of the house is similar to the decoration of the whole villa, except that the color of the curtains is too dark, which makes the atmosphere of the whole house seem a bit dull.
The room is large, with a sliding door on the left, inside is Xu Jinman's cloakroom.
Shen Shu withdrew, and suddenly saw a small space next to the dressing table, a simple ebony table with several layers of books neatly placed on it.
There are various types, such as advanced such as seven languages, financial investment, simple such as comics, hand-painted, and even two thin cookbooks.
This is why Xu Jinman knows how to cook?Are you self-taught?
Just as he was thinking, the door opened from the outside.
Xu Jinman came in with a plate of washed grapes and put them on the coffee table by the French window: "Come and eat grapes."
"Not a good chat?" Shen Shu sat down opposite her.
Xu Jinman was a little distracted: "No, it's good."
Also divided [-] million land.
When the Xu family bought it, it only cost [-] million yuan. After it is completed, if it is managed well, it will cost dozens of times less.
"Marital property, are you happy?" Xu Jinman thought about it, and suddenly smiled.
Shen Shu glanced at her: "Are you happy?"
Xu Jinman was startled, she was actually a little tired today, mentally tired.
From the moment he entered the gate of Xu's house, his spirit was tense, even if he sat down now, he didn't really relax.
Before Xu Jinman answered, there was a knock on the door, and Lu Yun's voice came: "Manman, I brought you some mangoes, can you come in?"
Shen Shu could clearly feel Xu Jinman's exhaustion after hearing Lu Yun's voice.
"I'll get it."
Xu Jinman grabbed Shen Shu's wrist and said, "Sit down."
Lu Yun is hostile to Shen Shu, and she doesn't want to involve Shen Shu.
Opening the door, Lu Yun's eyes were gentle, and her tone was more like a mother's: "Manman, today's mangoes are specially picked by me. They are very sweet... Mom wants to tell you, can I?"
Xu Jinman: "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Just chat for a while, it's still early." Lu Yun: "Don't you want to talk to your mother? You know how sad I am. I haven't slept well for a long time. Manman, you are still worrying about the last time Angry about something?"
Remembering that there were still people in the room, Lu Yun deliberately lowered her voice: "You know he wasn't like that a long time ago, it was really an accident that day."
Xu Jinman took a deep breath slowly, finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and took the things in Lu Yun's hand.
"If it's really an accident, then you shouldn't be the one who persuaded me, but you should ask him to apologize in front of me. Obviously, you don't think there is anything wrong with him. "
Lu Yun's demeanor in front of her and his extreme care and care for her made her sometimes even want to ask directly, why did she treat her like this.
Of course, it was impossible for Lu Yun to answer her.
If Lu Yun would answer, it would be impossible for the original body to ask Wang Zheng to investigate, and Lu Yun would not stop Wang Zheng who was trying to tell the truth.
Xu Jinman also knew that it was meaningless to say these words to Lu Yun.
Unlike Xu Jinman, who was afraid of being overheard, Lu Yun looked back at the corridor and then at the room after listening. The whole reaction was very natural and short-lived: "Okay, we will talk about this later."
"But Manman, don't be so indifferent to your mother, okay?" Lu Yun said, her eyes were slightly red: "When you came back, you always stayed with me and listened to my mother in everything. I have never been like this... ...I know you don't understand sometimes, but you have to believe that mom does all this for you, for your future."
Xu Jinman looked at her quietly, nodded after a while, "I see."
Lu Yun's face changed slightly. Even if she called and sent her a message recently, her response was very indifferent, but she didn't feel as strongly as she did face to face.
"Manman, you..."
"Xu Jinman, help me get a bath towel."
Shen Shu's voice seemed to interrupt Lu Yun inadvertently.
Lu Yun's expression froze, her gaze subconsciously turned cold, before Xu Jinman turned her head and responded before saying anything.
Xu Jinman: "If you haven't had a good rest, let's go to bed earlier, we're going to bed too."
When Lu Yun left, she looked like a neglected mother.
Xu Jinman stood at the door for a few seconds and closed the door.
Turning around and looking at Shen Shu who came out of the bathroom, she walked over fully dressed, Xu Jinman smiled: "I haven't got the bath towel yet."
Shen Shu came out and said, "I'm afraid you two will quarrel again."
"No." Xu Jinman said.
Xu Tao was afraid of Xu Yincheng, and Lu Yun would only be more jealous.
Xu Jinman looked at the time, she was thinking whether it would be better for Shen Shu to live in Star City.
Just as he was thinking, the servant downstairs knocked on the door again and brought up some snacks, saying that Lu Yun made them himself.
"My wife is afraid that you will be angry and refuse to eat it, so let me bring it up."
Xu Jinman didn't answer, and said, "I can't eat so much, just take it."
The servant didn't force it, but when Xu Jinman was about to close the door, he stopped him hesitantly: "Miss San, in fact, my wife recently..."
Xu Jinman stopped, waiting for her to speak.
"My wife hasn't slept much recently, and her heart is always uncomfortable. Every day when she reads you, she wipes her tears."
"When you go shopping, as long as it is something you like to eat, you will take a second look."
The servant pursed her lips: "I have been at home for seven or eight years, and my wife really values you more than anything else. Seeing her like this makes me feel sorry for her."
"Say something you shouldn't have said. You shouldn't have done that to your wife."
Understood.
Sending snacks is fake, but soft knife is real.
Seven or eight years?Xu Jinman glanced at the servant and said, "Then this is not the first time you have said such a thing."
The servant looked at her puzzled, Xu Jinman said: "Take this thing to my brother's room, and you can tell my mother again, if there is something to send, I will also send it to my brother. "
Xu Jinman closed the door.
The servant's words pierced her ears like soft knives, she suddenly thought, if the original body heard these words, maybe she would be really sad, would she really feel that she was wrong?
Lu Yun is used to showing softness to control Yuan's emotions.
The original body's anger was accumulated in his heart, and on the other hand, he felt guilty about his mother's fragility.
Each of the reasons that drove the original body crazy made Xu Jinman feel complicated.
Xu Jinman walked into the room and sat on the chair. Shen Shu was still opposite. After hearing the conversation just now, she was not very good at comforting people, but she just wanted to say something to Xu Jinman.
"Xu Jinman."
"Huh?" Xu Jinman raised his eyes back to his senses, and passed a white and tender hand in front of him, holding a toothpick with a small piece of mango stuck on it.
Shen Shu said: "Eat it, what you like."
Xu Jinman bent his lower lip, and stretched out his hand: "Like me?"
At that time, Shen Shu was hospitalized, and she did the same thing and said the same thing in front of Wei Wuqing.
After a while, Xu Jinman cleared his throat and said, "Shushu, the Xu family is actually quite complicated, and there are many things I'm not sure about. You have also seen the situation at home, and you must live here too." Not good, why don't you say something urgent and let me send you back to Star City?"
Shen Shu raised her eyes: "You might as well just tell me to go."
Xu Jinman: "..."
The affairs of the Xu family have not been clarified yet, she has to go into the study room tonight, firstly, it is not convenient for Shen Shu to be with her, and secondly, she does not want to involve her in these matters.
"Xu Jinman." Shen Shu: "If you and I were at Shen's house today, would you leave me alone?"
Won't.Xu Jinman answered in his heart.
Shen Shu's serious questioning made her slightly nervous.
Shen Shu rarely showed such emotions.
Shen Shu looked at her, and took a short breath: "In your eyes, I'm the kind of person who will leave you behind and stay out of things?"
Xu Jinman didn't hesitate: "...Of course not."
Shen Shu asked: "Then do you still want me to go?"
Xu Jinman sighed inwardly. Facing Shen Shu like this, she was quite embarrassed, the kind of embarrassment between hard-hearted and soft-hearted.
I don't want her to be affected by the Xu family's affairs, and I don't really want her to leave.
"I don't want to." Xu Jinman chose to be honest.
Shen Shu seems to be a little different today.
Shen Shu heard the words, her expression softened a little, and she said, "I don't know how much the Xu family has right and wrong, but I will be with you, just like you were by my side when I needed you."
"Also, if you are unhappy in front of me, you don't have to pretend to be happy." Shen Shu said softly, "You can affect me more than pretending to be unhappy."
Xu Jinman: "What's wrong with you today?"
The uneaten mango in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
She ignored it.
Because Shen Shu said another word.
"You want me to be happy, and I want you to be really happy. At least in front of me."
The chirping of cicadas downstairs is reminiscent of an arrow piercing through the orange-red clouds in the summer sunset.
Xu Jinman: "Okay."
It's past nine.
Normally in Star City, it was time for Shen Shu to take a bath and go to bed. Because the company was still dealing with something, Xu Jinman asked her if she wanted to take a bath first.
Shen Shu shook her head, looked at her phone and said, "Wait a minute, Tong Jia is explaining to me tomorrow's arrangements."
The two were sitting by the coffee table, each using their mobile phones.
Xu Jinman finished her work first, thought of something, opened Weibo, there were more than 200 red dots, all of them were people who followed her, and there were more than a dozen private messages.
Yesterday Tong Jia pulled her into Shen Shu's Weibo fan group and set up management.
She clicked on one of the private messages.
Shu Shu No. [-] fan: [Big Sister! ! 】
Shu Shu No. [-] fan: [Is that the big sister who used mysterious power to kill the black comments and made those bloggers slap her face! ! 】
Xu Jinman: "..."
This was in the middle of the night last night, and there was another message in the afternoon.
Shushu No. [-] fan: [Hello!I am Shushu No. [-] fan!Shushu is going to join the group next month, we want to organize a fan event in advance, pull up a banner and make some fan signs to surprise her.Do you have any idea? 】
Xu Jinman clicked on the fan group again, and saw that the matter was still being discussed in the group.
Xu Jinman watched for a while, Shushu No. [-] fans were also managed, and the arrangements were quite thorough, especially the point that minors were not allowed to participate.You can join the group, but you can't spend money.
Shu Shu No. [-] fan: [Make the banner bigger, and there are human-shaped standing signs. If you want to make ten light signs first, they will be used later anyway. 】
Shushu's puppy: [Let's make some more accessories, such as key chains. 】
My name is Dawang: [Okay, okay, give me the keychain, and you can take care of the rest.Is it enough to make 50? 】
Shushu's No. [-] fan: [Let's do what we can!We are not for comparison, we must have a lot of ostentation, but to surprise Shushu.I'm waiting for our eldest sister to reply and see if she has any arrangements~]
Shu Shu's No. [-] fan: [I don't know when she will be online, ying ying ying]
My sister is rich and physically strong: [Hi.jpg]
My sister is rich and physically strong: [You guys come here according to the best specifications, don’t use banners, and rent all the LEDs around.Estimate how much it will cost. 】
Shu Shu No. [-] fan: [! !big sister!Appeared! 】
Shushu's puppy: [...Fuck, LED?The best specifications, starting at 20w...]
My sister is rich and physically strong: [Yes.I will give you a budget of 500 million. When it is shown, it will be shown together with the name of the crew. After the lead actor is settled, I will send two large screens to the lead actor. 】
No matter how high-profile this is, it won't trick her.
【Ah ah ah ah ah! ! !So rough...]
【Lying trough...】
【Lying trough...】
【Lying trough...】
...
Xu Jinman looked at the series of candied haws-like ellipses underneath, and sent a private message to fan No. [-]: [I will push the assistant's WeChat to you later.For the money, ask her directly, just remember to give it to her. 】
Fan No. [-] posted several exclamation points: [! ! !Do you lack a daughter in your family?The kind that will spend money~]
Xu Jinman laughed, noticing the gaze on the other side, she raised her head: "It's almost ten o'clock, Tong Jia hasn't finished yet?"
Shen Shu: "Aren't you too?"
Xu Jinman: "I'm done chatting, what are you talking to Tong Jia about?"
"As for the crew, wait two days and try on the costume first." Shen Shu tapped the screen with her fingertips, and said softly, "The leading role has also been decided."
"Who?"
"Xia Chun."
Xu Jinman was startled: "The two of you are destined to meet each other, but you have met again."
Shen Shu didn't speak, turned off her phone, rubbed her eyes and said, "Do you wash first or should I wash first?"
It was a very normal sentence, but Xu Jinman could hear a trace of charm from her slightly tired voice.
Xu Jinman: "You wash it."
She got up and said, "Find you a pajamas."
Shen Shu walked to the bag, opened it and said, "No need to look for it, I brought it."
She was at home when Xu Yincheng came, so she brought clothes in advance just in case.
Xu Jinman boasted smoothly: "It's amazing, Shushu."
Shen Shu's eyes finally curved, but only for a moment: "Can you say something else?"
Shen Shu is wearing a light purple two-piece skirt today, the clothes are placed inside the skirt, and her tight waist seems to be able to be held with one hand.She stood in front of the table, facing Xu Jinman with her delicate facial features like sculptures.
Xu Jinman stroked her fingertips and said, "It's beautiful, it's extremely beautiful, I've never seen anything so beautiful."
She said three times in a row.
Shen Shu raised her eyebrows invisibly, took the clothes and turned to the bathroom.
Xu Jinman's bathroom is proportional to the outside space, very spacious.
Shen Shu tied her hair up, took a simple shower, and just after changing her pajamas, she heard outside——
'boom'
It was a bit heavy like the sound of something falling to the ground.
Shen Shu buttoned up her pajamas, took a few steps to the door, and saw Xu Jinman take down the books on the ebony table, and the small round stool in front of the table fell to the ground.
The person is bending over and clutching the calf bone.
Shen Shu: "...what are you doing?"
Xu Jinman said: "It's okay, look for the book, I accidentally kicked it over."
The stool was heavy, and the sound of landing was like iron. She wondered if the calf bone might be cracked.
When I came here today, apart from the key to Xu Tao’s study, there are also things I need to find in the original room. I have the notes from the orphanage in front of me, so I want to see if I can find anything in the book.
Shen Shu looked at her reddened calf: "Go and wash."
Xu Jinman put down the book: "OK."
When I walked into the bathroom, my legs hurt more, but I could bear it.
After taking off my clothes, I turned on the shower, and heard a sound from the bathroom door, and it went away after a few seconds.
Thinking that he heard it wrong, the mist steamed on his face, and some of the fatigue on his body was washed away.
Xu Jinman stretched under the shower, her pretty figure was wrapped in transparent water, and the shower gel smelled like roses, she took a sip lightly, and could still smell the hint of vanilla from the fragrance.
She tilted her head up to let the water soak her face.
After taking a shower, he was about to change his clothes when his eyes suddenly fell on the counter...
On the pink towel lay a snow-white lace bra and a pair of shorts.
It should be Shen Shu who replaced it and brought it back.
When Xu Jinman wrapped it in a towel, he touched the soft cloth, as if he touched the satin-like skin.
His hands trembled slightly, and his heart beat faster.
Waiting for the bag to be loaded, I thought about it, afraid that Shen Shu would feel embarrassed.
Spread out the towel again.
Going out of the bathroom, Shen Shu got up and went to the bathroom.
Shen Shu put the towel away, and when she turned her head, the two of them collided with each other, as if nothing happened on their faces.
After ten o'clock in the evening.
Xu Jinman took out a wider blanket from the cabinet and prepared to spread it on the floor.
Shen Shu: "Your bed is big, just put the blanket in the middle."
Xu Jinman said in his heart, I can drill into your place with a quilt for each person, what's the use of a blanket...
But it's not too pretentious, anyway, she slept late tonight, and there are more important things.
The two fell asleep one on the left and the other on the right.
Listening to the even breathing around her, Xu Jinman waited until two o'clock before carefully getting up.
There is only a faint light in the corridor on the second floor, and the villa is peaceful.
Xu Tao's study is not far away, and the daily documents are kept in the safe, because Lu Yun has to clean it every day, and the door of the study is usually not locked.
Luckily she just had to get in the door.
As soon as she opened the study door, she heard a voice from the direction of the bedroom door. Shen Shu walked over lightly, and said in a hoarse voice after a deep sleep: "What are you doing today?"
Xu Jinman has been looking at her watch since she took a shower and went to bed, so she guessed what was going on with her.
She woke up just now when people came together.
Xu Jinman: "..."
She leaned over and said, "Find something, you go to sleep."
Shen Shu looked at her silently, and said, "Go, I'll watch over you."
Xu Jinman: "?"
"Hurry up."
"……Oh."
Why does she feel like a wife and wife doing bad things together?
Xu Jinman opened the door, and a faint light came in from the huge window, barely illuminating his sight.Yuan Bo's notes said that the keys were also under the drawer, and there were more than a dozen drawers in Xu Tao's study.
Most of them are under the bookshelves.
Xu Jinman opened the door from the first one, and in the third row, Shen Shu came in from the door: "Someone is here."
Xu Jinman immediately closed the drawer and walked to the door.
Suddenly the light in the corridor outside turned on, Xu Jinman pulled Shen Shu in, closed the door lightly and quickly, cast a dim light through the glass, looked around, and finally saw that the innermost part of the bookshelf was not pulled to the end. curtain.
At the same time, Xu Tao's weak voice answering the phone sounded in the silent corridor.
Xu Jinman's face changed slightly, and he pulled Shen Shu over. There was a load-bearing wall next to the bookshelf, and the curtains were drawn to the end to form a square dead corner.
She and Shen Shu went in, tilting their heads to one side and carefully closing the curtains so as not to shake them. Shen Shu also raised her head and stared nervously.
My hands are sweaty.
As soon as it is pulled up, the study opens from the outside.
She was still holding Shen Shu's hand, feeling nervous, Xu Jinman squeezed her hand, trying to comfort her.
As soon as she lowered her head, she felt the softness of her lips brushing against the two petals, and she subconsciously pursed it...
