Repaying With Marriage

When I came out of the 4S store, it was already past two o'clock at night.

The imperial capital is freezing and windy.

Shi Su pulled up the scarf around his neck, covering most of his face. Parked outside the door was the car called by Yicheng Company.

Their car has gone through system testing in the store, etc., and it will take at least five days before they can come and pick it up.

After getting in the car, Shi Su reported the location of Shi's home to the driver. Yicheng got into the car and turned to look at her when he heard that she was going back to Shi's home.

Shi Su turned away and looked out the car window, not wanting to speak.

Yicheng knew that she didn't want to get too close to him, so he kept a polite distance from her, sat next to her and said, "I tell you everything, firstly, because I feel guilty for you, secondly, because of my selfishness, and thirdly, I hope you can Be able to sort out all the reasons, live in the present, and don't get involved in the grudges between our parents."

Shi Su was speechless the whole time, only burying her face in her scarf until the car drove to the door of Shi's house and she got out of the car.

Yicheng got out of the car and walked her through the door. When he was in front of the door, he suddenly called her: "Susu."

Shi Su stopped.

"I don't know if Jing Jihan can survive this time. If you need it, I will stand by your side at any time."

Shi Su took off the scarf around his neck, breathed in the cold night air, and said without turning his head, "I don't need it."

After saying this, she walked directly in until her figure was submerged in the snowy night in the courtyard in front of the main entrance of Shi's house.

Yicheng looked outside the door for a while.

Shi Su has not changed.

The front-line life in the entertainment industry in the past two years has been fierce and full of traps. It seems that her edges have been worn away, but in fact she has never changed. The sharpness and principles hidden in front of the camera, those who once fought to get back money for themselves The tenacious Shi Su, who was fair and forbearing, finally brought down Shi Yunyin and his daughter...

She is still her.

Only this time she wasn't re-wearing invisible armor just for herself.

-

The next day, Shi Wancheng returned to Shi's house. He was very low-key when he entered, but everyone in the family already knew about it.

Because I heard that old man Shi could occasionally sit in a wheelchair and bask in the sun in recent days, Shi Wancheng didn't see anyone when he came back, so he went to see the old man first.

When Shi Wancheng came out of Mr. Shi's room, he saw Shi Su who had appeared outside the door at some point.

Shi Su just came out of his small single-family villa. He took a shower and went to bed last night. After all, he had stayed up for two days and participated in a sweaty competition show. He had seen Yicheng again at night and was finally sleepy. Just sleep on the bed.

But I also had a dream all night.

In the past twenty years, she has only known that Shi Lengkang was sorry for her mother. She only knew that when her mother passed away, she had no relatives around her and was helpless. The only person she trusted, Shi Lengkang, never gave her anything in the end. A trace of extra pity and heartache.

But I have never thought about the circumstances under which Shi Lengkang met her mother more than 20 years ago, and why it ended like that.

Yicheng told her a story from more than twenty years ago last night. This dream was so bizarre that when she opened her eyes in the morning, Su's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat. When she sat up, she heard someone outside the door. The servant said that her second uncle was back.

At this moment, Shi Su was only wearing an inner sweater, and her shoulder-length hair was scattered loosely on her shoulders. She did not put on makeup. She simply washed up and came over. But even though she was naked, she looked at Shi Wan outside the door. Cheng's eyes were not soft. Following her mother's natural beauty, her eyebrows were beautiful and majestic. Coupled with her expression at the moment, the coldness was already overflowing, making it impossible to ignore, let alone avoid.

For a moment, the surrounding relatives, friends and servants suddenly felt that Shi Su was the eldest lady in the family. When she no longer avoided this responsibility, her aura was enough to control the people in this old house. All human hearts are full of ups and downs.

Shi Wancheng closed the door to Mr. Shi's room, and his eyes fell on Shi Su's face calmly. After looking at her for only ten seconds, he handed her a gesture that an elder should treat a junior with great grace. He looked politely and asked knowingly: "When did you come back? How many days have you been staying at home?"

"I've been living here for a few days, but I haven't had much chance to see my second uncle." Shi Su's eyes were very shallow, and he couldn't tell the emotion when he said: "On the contrary, when I went out to work a few days ago, I was lucky enough to meet several leaders of Jingjian Construction. , they all praised the second uncle."

Hearing the words "leader of Jingjian", Shi Wancheng didn't say anything at first. The relatives, friends and servants around him were all smart people. When he saw the expressions of the uncle and nephew who looked calm but in fact could bring disaster to Chi Yu at any time, they went their separate ways. Quietly exited.

Outside the door of Mr. Shi's room, only Shi Su and Shi Wancheng were left, as well as the surveillance camera that Shi Su had specially checked to see if it was working properly.

Shi Wancheng glanced at the corner of the corridor calmly, then suddenly smiled, and put the coat he took off casually on his arms. He was obviously already in his fifties, but because he had been among the upper class circles for many years, he was of that group. The elegant demeanor of a beast in clothes is still there. Shi Dongyang really didn't learn any pretense from his father. Otherwise, how could Shi Lengkang separate the father and son from joining forces? Take away such a big piece of cake.

"There is no one around now, so our uncle and nephew have also opened up and talked." Shi Wancheng looked at Shi Su, with a hint of obvious displeasure in his eyes: "This is what you are going to do about Dongyang's matter. Is there a way to solve it? He is your cousin."

"It doesn't matter whether he is a cousin or not. After all, we didn't grow up together. It is a fact that he attempted murder, and as a victim, it is self-defense for me to provide evidence and hand him over to the police. As for how the law will judge him, that is not what I can do. Interference." Shi Su seemed unaware of the displeasure in Shi Wancheng's eyes and continued: "Strictly speaking, I should inform my second uncle about this matter first, but we haven't had much contact with each other since we were young. , this family relationship is as if it doesn’t exist. Shi Dongyang wants my life. Even if I want to protect myself, I can’t let this matter be so private. The law is always fair, right? "

Shi Wancheng smiled slowly: "Are you using the law to suppress your second uncle?"

"No, it's just seeking truth from facts. In recent years, all aspects of domestic management have been strict, and all departments have a rigorous style. Everyone acts according to the rules, and few dare to do anything too outrageous. I am also curious about what kind of family Shi Dongyang is in. It was only under the circumstances that I developed such courage that even legal experts dared to do it. Nowadays, even several leaders on the Jingjian side have evidence of their own self-protection in their hands. If any corruption or bribery occurs, , or for some dirty transactions that cannot be brought to light, someone will always be pushed out to take the blame, but we just don’t know who will be pushed out.”

The smile on Shi Wancheng's face could no longer be maintained.

Listening to what Shi Su meant between the lines, it was clear that what she knew was not just some superficial right and wrong in the Imperial Capital.

After all, she was just a woman in her twenties. Apart from being protected by Jing Jihan for a long time, how could she have so many abilities and connections?

"Did your father teach you this?"

Shi Su casually brushed back the hair on his shoulders and said slowly: "If Shi Lengkang has this ability, does he still need to be checked by you? Second uncle, you have spent more than twenty years to do this." After a good game of chess, I managed to survive until the old man passed away, but why can't I sit still recently?"
