Yu Xiuzhu went home with her mother.

Solemn and magnificent.

It is also a shackle that he cannot break free from.

Yu Mingcheng sat on the mahogany carved sofa in the living room. Time did not leave too many traces on his face, but he was in the top position all year round, so his aura was strong and forced. The eyes under the lens were harsh and cruel.

Yu Xiuzhu stood up in front of him, lowered her head and said respectfully: "Father."

"Sit," Yu Mingcheng pointed to the position opposite him, "Have you seen the daughter of the Xia family?"

"I'll go with my mother tonight."

Regarding Yu Xiuzhu's obedience, Yu Mingcheng nodded with satisfaction, "It is beneficial to marry the Xia family. You have always been sensible and I believe you understand the truth."

Yu Xiuzhu pursed her lips, looking absolutely obedient.

"Marriage is not a trivial matter. In a few days, Xia Shiliang will return to China. I will take you to visit you to show your sincerity."

"clear."

"Go back to the house and have a break early."

Yu Xiuzhuqi was very grateful that he had too strong facial control ability, so he could suppress his inner ecstasy and return to the room with an expressionless face.

He took out the key from the safe, opened the locked drawer on the desk, and carefully took out a photo.

After the photos were glued, it was obvious that the owner was caring for them very carefully, but because of the years of reading, it began to turn yellow.

In the photo, there is a girl standing on the podium in a solemn dress, full of energy and brilliance, and the people around her seem to have become foils.

Yu Xiuzhu's eyes became extremely gentle at that moment.

He covered the photo in his heart, closed his eyes, and slowly smiled.

I don't know if this is considered to be the mercy of God.

It was already late at night when Xia Zhi returned to the old house.

She thought everyone was asleep, but when she entered the door, she saw the hall lights brightly. Xia Zeyan sat on the sofa with her legs folded, with one hand on her forehead, and a magazine was placed between her legs. The sound of turning pages was particularly clear in the lonely night.

Hearing the sound, Xia Zeyan lazily lifted up his eyelids and looked directly at her.

Xia Zhi's father travels on business trips all year round and rarely meets each other within a year. Xia Zeyan has implemented the concept of "the elder brother is like a father" since childhood. Xia Zhi is somewhat afraid of him, especially after Xia Zeyan gradually took over the Xia family's business, his deterrence became more and more obvious.

Although Xia Zeyan did not show his emotions, Xia Zhi had already felt his faint anger at this time.

Sure enough, before she could call someone, Xia Zeyan asked coldly, "Where have you been?"

Xia Zhi lowered her head, dared not look directly into his eyes, and said timidly: "Law firm."

"Look up at me," Xia Zeyan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the sense of oppression was self-evident, "Come here!"

Xia Zhi hesitated for a while and walked to him. Xia Zeyan still maintained his original posture, "Law firm? Do I want me to call Jiang Shimo now, if this is true?"

Xia Zhi bit her lip and dared not answer.

"Xia Zhi!" When Xia Zeyan called her full name, it means he was really angry, "Are you going to find Zhou Tingshen?"

Although I had known the answer for a long time, I still wanted to hear my sister admit it personally. But now when Xia Zhi was about to say nothing, Xia Zeyan was even more angry, "What did he ask you to do so late?"

Knowing that my brother had probably misunderstood, Xia Zhi quickly said, "I didn't do anything. His secretary was on a business trip and asked me to take him home."

"That's it?" Xia Zeyan sneered, "Now the Internet is so developed, he won't find a designated driver by himself? You must pick him up?"

"..." unable to refute.

"You have liked Zhou Tingshen for at least eight years. In these eight years, he has given you some substantive promises except for his unclear attitude?" Seeing that Xia Zhi didn't say anything, Xia Zeyan continued, "If a man really likes you, if he has a little sense of responsibility, he will have an ambiguous relationship with you for eight years?"

"elder brother……"

"You have had your own opinions since you were a child. Except for your relationship, no one has to worry about anything else," Xia Zeyan still softened and couldn't bear to blame his sister like this. "Your emotional history is almost blank. Only Zhou Tingshen has appeared around you over the years. I don't know much about men. I'm just afraid that you will be deceived."

Xia Zhi lowered her eyes and promised? Actually, there were some, but it was Zhou Tingshen's nonsense after being drunk. At that time, he said: "Xia Xia, I don't have an independent career yet. In a few years, I will marry you."

She didn't really believe it. She just knew Zhou Tingshen for so many years, and she had never seen any other girl around him. She has been single and is usually busy with her career, so she has never found a reason to give up.

Xia Zeyan suddenly jumped away from the topic, "Mr. Yu, how do you feel tonight?"

Mr. Yu? Xia Zhi frowned and realized that she was asking the guests tonight. She was a little confused, so she just commented: "It's pretty good."

Xia Zeyan looked her up and down, "Forget it, you have never seen any other man except Zhou Tingshen. Go up and rest."

Xia Zhi yawned upstairs and thought to himself, could it be that the blind date my mother said tonight...isn't it auditory hallucination?

-

The next morning, Zhou Tingshen came out of the conference room and walked to the office and found Yan Qin lying on the sofa in his office with his legs crossed. When he saw him coming, he was always fun, "Oh, Boss Zhou, long time no see."

Zhou Tingshen glanced at him, ignored him, reached out to take the report handed over by his secretary and began to look through it.

The economy has been in a bad mood recently and the company has also suffered a certain blow. Zhou Tingshen's mood is obvious to the naked eye.

Yan Qin was bored, but he didn't feel embarrassed. When the secretary left the office, he hurried over, "I heard that you were looking for beauty Xia again last night?"

"You are very informative about gossip news," Zhou Tingshen glanced at him sideways. "With this skill, why not help me find out when the boss of Hongyuan Group will stay in Jincheng."

"Even if the company has been in a downturn recently, you won't have a bad temper," Yan Qin said half-jokingly, "I recently signed a new batch of actors. One of them looks pretty pure, and it's the type you like. Do you want to call out to meet you and let you relax."

He thought Zhou Tingshen would refuse, but unexpectedly, Zhou Tingshen pursed his lips and, with Yan Qin's friendship with him, soon realized that he was accustomed to it.

Yan Qin sneered, "Zhou Tingshen, I really want to ask you, what do you regard Xia Zhi as?"

"She is different," Zhou Tingshen looked down at the view outside the window, "She will be my future wife."

Yes, future wife.

But not now.

Yan Qin has known Zhou Tingshen for so long, so he naturally knows the ulterior motives in his heart.

"Zhou Tingshen, even if you suppress your miserable life, there is no airtight wall in the world," Yan Qin smiled and said seriously, "You'd better keep it from Xia Zhi, otherwise one day, you will kill yourself."

From Yan Qin's perspective, Xia Zhi has nothing to be picky about in terms of appearance, personality, talent or family background. If she were replaced by another man, she would not know what the treasure would look like.

It just happened that he was hanged on the tree Zhou Tingshen.

Zhou Tingshen was still looking at the endless stream of road outside the window, silent.

-

Tianjin City is full of wealth at night, and the largest bar in Tianjin City is even more bright and wine-like. Xia Zhi and Bian Yan sat in front of the bar. Their facial features were both exquisite and exquisite. The close-fitting long skirt wrapped around their delicate figures. One was as hot as an oil painting and the other was as cold as an iceberg. This combination made many men want to come forward to chat with them, but in the end they were defeated by Xia Zhi's eyes that were not close to him.

Bian Yan supported her face, "So, he just asked you to send him home?"

"Um."

Bian Yan is really going to be angry to death by Xia Zhi. The woman in front of her is pure and charming, and her beautiful eyes are involuntarily exuding charming charm. She has countless suitors in recent years, but Xia Zhi has never given anyone a chance and has always been devoted to Zhou Tingshen.

Bian Yan really wondered, "Xia Xia, why do you like Zhou Tingshen so much?"

Xia Zhi drank some wine. She didn't have a good alcohol tolerance and was a little bit drunk now.

She recalled the first time she met Zhou Tingshen, which was a college publicity meeting in her senior year of high school. Zhou Tingshen returned to school as an outstanding graduate to give a speech.

Xia Zhi has been an excellent existence in the eyes of others since she was a child. She frequently skipped grades but still ranked first in the grade, so she has never been defeated. As for Zhou Tingshen's appearance, the host's ten-minute introduction words, let her know for the first time what is the world beyond the sky and people beyond the sky.

For the first time, she developed admiration for another person besides her elder brother.

-

Yu Xiuzhu has been stationed in the crew recently and has been in a lot of schedule. So after meeting Xia Zhi at the Xia family that time, she didn't have any chance to further achieve substantial development.

However, it has been linked to Xia Zeyan, which is a small improvement.

Today I finally had time to rest, but my friends persuaded him to pull him out of the crew.

LoseDemon is a bar set up by Yu Xiuzhu and two friends. The second floor has their own private room. Through the one-way glass, you can see the crowd of people who are intoxicated by paper downstairs.

"Brother Yu, what are you looking at? You're so serious?" Zhou Yichen lay on the sofa and saw Yu Xiuzhu looking downstairs with concentration, "Try the red wine brought by Master Yu, the 2008 Lafite."

Yu Xiuzhu seemed to have not heard it, and her eyes still fell on the woman in front of the bar.

Is it such a coincidence?

He almost wanted to go downstairs to find her now, pretending to be an encounter.

But he was troubled that his identity could not appear in the crowd, and once recognized by others, it would lead to unpredictable results. Moreover, seeing the girl's slightly drunk appearance, he didn't know if she was suitable to disturb her.

After a while, he got up and put on a mask and a baseball cap. Seeing that he was about to go out, Xie Junyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you want to do?"

“Go out and get some air.”

There was a waiter standing outside the box at the door waiting for orders at any time. When he saw Yu Xiuzhu coming out of the inside, he respectfully said, "Mr. Yu."

Yu Xiuzhu said: "Please do me a favor."

-

As for what Xia Zhi said, Bian Yan almost turned to the sky spirit cover, "That's it? You are..."

"I just have too few boys in contact with, so I have deep affection for Zhou Ting," Xia Zhi answered what she wanted to say, "I was scolded by my elder brother last night."
