Tang Qiaoer had just given Shen Jingjue the medicine when Secretary Xu walked in.
"Second Young Master, how are you doing?"
"Very good. Thanks to Qiao'er." As he said that, Shen Jingjue looked at Tang Qiao'er tenderly.
Tang Qiaoer ducked to the side.
This man used to be as cold as an old monk with six pure faculties. Now he was so angry that he was so angry that he would fire at her crazily every chance he got.
It's really a beautiful girl like her who is oiled old, oiled small, and oiled in the middle.
"Ms. Tang, thank you very much."
Secretary Xu was about to bow to Tang Qiao'er to express his gratitude, but the eldest lady, with quick eyesight and quick hands, hurriedly grabbed him and helped him up with both hands.
"Uncle Xu, please stop being so polite. This is what I should do."
"Miss Tang, you are still so kind to our young master." Secretary Xu is not a nosy person, and at this moment he can't hold back and wants to bring them together.
"Don't get me wrong, I am devoted to Mr. Shen because Mr. Shen is a very important person to grandpa."
Tang Qiaoer smiled lightly and said, "Everything I do is for grandpa."
Secretary Xu smiled coquettishly.
Shen Jingjue had a happy expression and smiled indulgently.
He was already used to her small mouth holding a razor blade. Anyway, no matter how cruel she was with her mouth, her body and lips would always be honest to him.
"Second Young Master, if you are still in good health, please go to the study. Mr. Shen has something to tell you."
Shen Jingjue was slightly startled, "Okay."
Then he said to Tang Qiao'er softly, "Wait for me, I'll be back as soon as I go."
"Huh, who wants to wait for you? I'm leaving now, goodbye!"
Tang Qiaoer raised her chin arrogantly and passed by Shen Jingjue.
The man felt anxious and wanted to grab her hand and keep her. But he just pursed his lips with a sad expression and watched her leave the room.
Secretary Xu saw that Shen Jingjue's soul was about to follow Miss Tang, and his hot eyes were drawing a web on her body. While he was happy, he also felt a little regretful.
"Uncle Xu, look at me now, don't I look so ridiculous?" Shen Jingjue laughed bitterly at himself.
I have treated Secretary Xu as a relative since I was a child, so I don’t shy away from anything.
"How ridiculous, Second Young Master."
With the gentleness of an elder in his eyes, Secretary Xu said softly, "I would also like to congratulate you for finally seeing your true heart. Now that you are single, and Miss Tang is also single, you still have a chance.
I hope that this time you will be able to love Miss Tang as she once loved you. Follow her as she did to wait for you and follow you. Miss Tang is a very good girl, please never let her do it again. Disappointed."
After Secretary Xu finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Shen Jingjue.
Shen Jingjue suddenly felt a lump in his throat, his thin lips trembled slightly, and a teardrop secreted from the end of his eye, which made him endure it, "Uncle Xu, tell me, if I can get Qiao'er back... is there any hope?"
After Secretary Xu heard this, the scene suddenly flashed before his eyes of Tang Qiaoer's legs dripping with blood, and when she was sent to the emergency room, she held his arm and begged him to keep it a secret from Shen Jingjue.
He couldn't help but feel as if he was struck by lightning, his pupils suddenly trembled.
"Second Young Master, the road ahead may be difficult, but please do not give up on Miss Tang no matter what."
…
Shen Jingjue walked into Shen Nanhuai's study alone.
As soon as the door was closed, at the corner of the stairs, Tang Qiaoer's delicate and graceful figure retreated step by step into the corridor, then transformed into a naughty kitten and walked to the door of the study with nimble steps.
She looked left and right, then slowly pressed her elf-like little ears tightly against the door panel, and her dark eyes moved flexibly.
In the study room.
Shen Nanhuai sat on the sofa, poured a cup of hot water for his grandson who was sitting upright, and brought it to him with his own hands.
"Thank you, grandpa."
Shen Jingjue hurriedly took it with both hands, his demeanor was quite upright and solemn, and there was no sign of weakness or illness.
He held the cup in his right hand and held the bottom of the cup in his left hand, sipping the tea gracefully, showing the demeanor of a noble man.
"I'm shocked. Does the injury on your body still hurt?" Shen Nanhuai asked with concern.
"It's nothing serious, it's just a skin injury."
Shen Jingjue actually felt some old wounds, and his blood was suffocating in his chest, but he concealed it very well and said with a charming smile, "Grandpa, don't worry, grandson, I am not that weak, I am a soldier."
"Since you're not that weak, why don't you resist? Your father was obviously instigated by that vixen Qin Shu before he attacked you. It makes no sense. Why don't you snatch his whip and throw it on Qin Shu's face?!" Shen Nanhuai asked angrily.
This was what he wanted to ask when he called Shen Jingjue over this time.
Shen Jingjue lowered his eyes and stared at his reflection in the cup, and unexpectedly fell silent.
After a while, Shen Nanhuai frowned and asked in a distressed voice: "My child, you are my grandson and the blood of our Shen family. Don't you still feel that you owe something to the Shen family? ?”
Shen was shocked when he felt his eyebrows twitching and his thin lips tightening tightly.
When he was five years old, he and his mother, who was terminally ill and dying, were bullied in the dirty and smelly slums and struggled to survive several times.
That night, there was a violent wind and rain, and a luxury car broke into his dark world with an axe.
The dilapidated bungalow was leaking from all directions, and the wooden door was easily pushed open by people outside without a key.
Young Shen Jingjue was sitting by the bed, feeding her mother who was almost unable to swallow water.
At that time, Shen Guangjing was young, handsome, high-spirited, wearing a high-end suit, and there was not even a drop of water on the Italian handmade leather shoes he stepped into the room.
The young Shen Jingjue looked at this man who looked like a god descending from heaven. He was astonished and had only one thought.
——"Sir! Please...save my mother!"
Shen Guangjing strode to the bedside. When he saw his unconscious mother, his eyes were scarlet and he held her in his arms with tears in his eyes.
——"Aqing...Aqing...Sorry, I just came now, I came too late!
I'm here to pick you up...and...our son."
Shen Jingjue could not forget the time when Shen Guangjing took his mother back to the Shen family. His love was as deep as the sea and he would not marry her unless she was the one. She even ignored the pressure from the family and the eyes of the world and allowed him, an illegitimate son, to recognize his ancestor.
He didn't understand, did Shen Guangjing really love his mother?
If he had really loved her so much, he would not have fallen in love with someone else, and her mother would not have been unable to bear the torture of depression and committed suicide by jumping off a building.
he often asked himself.
If the mother dies, is it more unfortunate to die on that rainy night when she was ravaged by illness, or because of the indifference and unrighteousness of her loved one?
"Son, you don't owe our Shen family anything, it's the Shen family that owes you."
Shen Nanhuai raised his hand with heartache and patted his grandson's shoulder, tears lingering in his eyes, "The tragedy of that year was all my fault. I know your father liked your mother very much, but at that time, the Shen Group encountered a global economic crisis. Assets have shrunk severely, and several large domestic projects that have just started have been forced to stop. There is always the possibility of the capital chain being broken.
Therefore, I can only let your father enter into a business marriage with the Feng family in Mingcheng, and let him... marry the eldest lady of the Feng family, that is, your eldest brother's mother.
Child, it’s all your grandfather’s fault. He made you suffer so much when you were a child. Grandpa is guilty..."
"Grandpa, you are not wrong. What you did back then was out of consideration for the overall situation. You have your own difficulties. I understand."
The implication is that Shen Jingjue is blaming Shen Guangjing.
He just didn't say it clearly, but Shen Nanhuai had already seen through what he was thinking and sighed sadly.
"I didn't resist. Actually, it was because of my elder brother. Before he left Shengjing and went to Country M to recuperate, he told me not to get into too much trouble with Director Shen for his sake."
Shen Jingjue slowly raised his deep and gloomy starry eyes, dark light flickering, "I have given enough forbearance to the best of my ability. But, just this time. Next time, I will never tolerate it again."
Pain arose in Shen Nanhuai's heart, the past events that he could not bear to touch were still vivid in his mind, and his face was filled with a haze of sadness.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I was too arrogant and shouldn't have mentioned your sadness."
Shen Jingjue felt guilty and held his grandfather's rough and dry hand tightly with his warm hands, "I know that if it weren't for that incident, your preferred heir would definitely be the eldest brother.
My eldest brother has been in your lap since childhood and is the grandson you have high hopes for."
"Surprise..."
"Grandpa, I owe my eldest brother and I owe you."
Shen Jing felt soreness well up in his nose and smiled softly, "To have a grandpa who really cares about me is something I didn't even dare to dream about when I was a child. I don't have the qualifications to ask for anything else."
"Shocking, listen to grandpa!"
Shen Nanhuai roared low, pressed his trembling hands on his broad shoulders, and met his eyes with burning eyes, "In grandpa's eyes, you are all my grandsons. Grandpa loves you and loves you just as much."
As for what you said, grandpa thought it was a fucking puppy! Grandpa, say it again, you bastard, listen to me!
Even if your eldest brother comes back safe and sound, even if none of that ever happened, grandpa will still choose you to be the heir to the group."
"Grandpa...you..." Shen Jingjue looked stunned.
"Even if everyone in the Shen family doesn't support you, it doesn't matter. Grandpa supports you, and grandpa will support you!"
…
Outside the door, Tang Qiaoer listened intently.
She almost pressed her whole body against the door panel, listening attentively to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson inside.
Although her hearing was good, the sound insulation of the door panels of this mansion was impressive, and she couldn't hear clearly even though she tried hard.
Shen was shocked to realize that the dog man was just a mosquito, but the old man was very angry. Tang Qiaoer listened to his words at all.
"Shen Jingjue's eldest brother? Back then? What happened back then? It sounds... it seems very heavy..."
During the three years that Tang Qiaoer was in the Shen family, she had never seen the eldest young master.
But she also heard from Wu's mother that the eldest young master was in poor health and had been recuperating in Country M all year round. Even the position of heir that originally belonged to him could only be given over to his half-brother.
Listening just now, why did she vaguely feel that the eldest young master's illness seemed to be related to Shen Jingjue?
Suddenly, the study door opened!
Tang Qiaoer was still thinking there, maintaining an eavesdropping posture.
She didn't realize at all that she had crashed into Shen Jingjue's hard chest.
Shen Jingjue: "...?"
Tang Qiaoer: "…………Ah!"
Only then did she come back to her senses, and she screamed with a clear voice in fright!
At this time, grandpa's voice came from the room: "I'm surprised, is Xiaoxiao outside?"
"It's okay, Grandpa, you heard wrong. You should go to bed early."
While he was talking, the dog man had put his left hand behind his back, closed the door neatly, and looked at her with tenderness and satisfaction in his eyes, which were shining like stars.
"Are you eavesdropping?"
"goodbye!"
Tang Qiaoer was enveloped by Shen Jingjue's aggressive shadow, panicked, and turned around to escape.
Unexpectedly, the man suddenly grabbed her slim waist with his right hand and pulled her into his arms.
The two bodies, whose heat gradually increased, were tightly attached to each other.
They could both hear each other's heartbeats clearly.
When Tang Qiaoer saw that her little tail was caught, she was ashamed and annoyed, the tips of her ears were red as if they were bleeding, and she struggled angrily, trying to break free from his arms.
Shen Jingjue's eyes darkened, and his big hand with stretched veins slowly moved up, his fingers tightened, and he grasped the thinnest and softest part of her waist.
"Answer me, huh?"
"I, I want to come and say goodbye to grandpa. Who wants to listen to you and grandson telling little secrets? Let me go, I'm going back!" The little woman blushed with embarrassment and twisted her waist.
Shen Jingjue stared at Tang Qiao'er for a moment, feeling itchy at the tip of his heart, as if a light feather was brushing against her.
The little woman's face was flushed and she was trying her best to defend herself. She was really cute.
The more I look at it, the more I can't live without it, the more I look at it, the more I fall in love with it.
"There is no secret." The man chuckled.
"Ah?" Tang Qiaoer's beautiful eyes were slightly startled.
"I have no secrets from you."
Shen Jingjue suddenly leaned forward, his thin lips filled with hot breath were close to her moist lips, and he could hardly control the urge to kiss her, "I can answer you whatever you want to know.
As long as you want to hear it, I will tell you everything I know."
"Okay, then tell me, what happened between you and your eldest brother before?" Tang Qiaoer couldn't restrain her curiosity and asked, blinking her beautiful eyes.
Shen Jing felt his dark eyes shrink and his thin lips pursed slightly.
"Tsk, a man's mouth is a liar."
Tang Qiaoer sneered mockingly, "You know everything you say is probably nonsense, right?"
"After I finish this work, find a suitable time and I will tell you my story. You are very tired today and it is time to go back and rest."
Shen Jingjue suddenly took advantage of her unpreparedness and placed a gentle and restrained kiss on her smooth forehead.
It caused her breathing to be disordered and her heart to feel a little rippled.
"Qiao'er, good night."
…
Outside the Juyuewan Villa.
The temperature dropped suddenly tonight, and the eldest lady left too hastily. Lin Su was afraid that she would freeze, so he brought a thick down jacket with him when he came to pick her up.
After waiting for a long time, her feet were numb from the cold, Tang Qiaoer slowly walked out of the villa gate.
"Miss!" Lin Su called her with a smile.
But she didn't respond, her cheeks turned red and her eyes were empty as she walked forward.
"Miss!" Lin Su pulled her, his eyes full of worry, "Are you... okay?"
Tang Qiaoer suddenly panicked, "Oh, it's okay... Come and pick me up, please, and get in the car."
The two of them got into the car. The heater was turned on at full speed and there was a thermos cup of red date tea brewed by Lin Su himself.
Tang Qiaoer crossed her beautiful legs and drank red date tea, her almond-shaped eyes flashed, and she raised her hand to caress the forehead that had been kissed by the man.
It seemed that there was still residual warmth from his lips.
"Asu, tomorrow, go check something out for me."
"Please give me your orders."
"Go and check out the relationship between Shen Jingjue and the eldest son of the Shen family, and what happened to the Shen family before the eldest son Shen left Shengjing for Country M."
She didn't believe that Shen Jingjue would be honest with her.
What she wanted to know, she had to dig deep to get the answer.
