LiShuang leaned back on the sofa, gently supporting her cheek with her palm, and nodded perfunctorily.
"Then please speak carefully."
LiZeshou pinched his wet trouser legs and shook them, then took a deep breath when he thought of the news he had received.
"Recently I heard that the Yucheng Jing family and the Shen family are going to make some moves."
BaJie also spoke at this time: [I found out. ]
[The boss of Ji Yu Pavilion, Jia, was originally named Jia Hua. His ancestors were treasure appraisers and had come into contact with many people from both the black and white worlds. Naturally, he had accumulated a wide range of deep connections.]
[In order to earn a lot of wealth, his ancestors specialized in collecting all kinds of confidential information for their employers. By the time of Jia Hua's generation, he was timid by nature and just ran the pawn shop steadily, but he still controlled the reputation and connections accumulated by the family for generations.]
LiShuang nodded.
[I'll tie him up some other day.]
LiZeshou's topic was also brought up, and LiShuang's expression showed exaggerated surprise.
"The powerful Jing family? That's a good thing! This way the Shen family's position will be more stable!"
LiZeshou pursed his lips and glanced at her.
"What a rotten head."
"If your position is really stable, why would I tell you this? We are father and daughter. If you become a rich wife, I, as your father, will definitely be happy for you."
LiShuang listened to his intentional or unintentional brainwashing, relying solely on her acting skills to maintain the expression of emotion and confusion on her face.
"What else could it be?"
LiZeshou's expression became more serious and he lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that someone would hear him.
"You also know that the Shen family and ShenJi are at odds. This time, they are probably targeting ShenJi."
LiShuang knew this and suddenly lost interest.
"oh."
LiZeshou said, "Don't be naked, just listen to me, keep ShenJi hanging, stabilize Shen Yuci, and don't rush to get married."
Although LiShuang knew that he was trying to maximize his benefits, she didn't expect him to say such a thing.
"Why? Do you think Shen Yuci can't bring down ShenJi?"
LiZeshou lowered his voice even more.
"The Jing family suddenly became rich ten years ago. They are essentially the pawns of the Shen family. However, ShenJi in Fengcheng is the power accumulated by the Zhuge family for a hundred years. I think Shen Yuci is in a more difficult situation."
LiShuang didn't hear anything useful.
"oh."
Get up and prepare to leave.
LiZeshou pulled her to sit down and spoke almost into her ear.
"I suspect that the old man of the Shen family also supports ShenJi. After all, you have a history with ShenJi. Keep him hanging for now, don't go to a dead end. Do you hear me? "
This sentence made LiShuang a little concerned.
"You mean Mr. Shen? Doesn't he have Alzheimer's disease?"
LiZeshou made a disdainful "tsk" sound.
"Why are you so stupid?"
"He is sick, not dead. How could the person in charge of the Shen family not have some real power in his hands?"
LiShuang nodded: "I understand."
LiZeshou patted the box in her hand and said, "Remember, I am the only one in this world who truly cares about you and is truly on the same boat with you. Do you remember?"
LiShuang was too lazy to argue with him.
"Got it, got it. I'm going upstairs to sleep first."
LiZeshou saw her turn and leave and shook his head.
Just sleep, sleep, sleep.
You can't prop up a wall with rotten mud.
Just as LiShuang was walking up the stairs thoughtfully, he ran into LiWanwan who was just coming down.
Both of them stopped for a moment.
LiWanwan saw the edge of the jade bracelet on her wrist and smiled lightly.
"Sister, congratulations. ShenJi's heart is still with you."
LiShuang was surprised that she stopped pretending and walked up two steps.
"What do I need that useless thing for? Stir-fry?"
LiWanwan, on the other hand, joked with her in a leisurely and elegant manner.
"It's better to stir-fry it, so as not to become a clown being used by others with a sincere heart."
BaJie: [Ah! The host is trying to sow discord, plug your ears and don't listen!]
LiShuang looked at her innocent and clean face and asked calmly.
"I'm a clown? Then what are you? An idiot?"
LiWanwan stood on a high place and looked down at her face.
"ShenJi released you as bait just to catch the big fish Shen Yuci. You really can't tell right from wrong?"
"Are you the worm in his stomach?" LiShuang asked back.
LiWanwan walked down and faced her, but she always stood one level higher than her and looked down at her.
"I just know a little more than you do. I also know that if you want Shen Yuci's life, he will give it to you. If he dies, do you think you can escape from ShenJi's clutches?"
LiShuang looked at her: "Are you trying to persuade me to target ShenJi?"
LiWanwan looked at her with a meaningful smile, her eyes moving across her face.
"You are so pitiful. Everyone is playing chess, but you are the only one being played as a chess piece."
BaJie said in a low voice: [See, I told you, she is not a white flower, she is a pure black-bellied person! ]
LiShuang seemed to see the same paranoia and morbidity in her eyes as in Shen Yuci.
He smiled nonchalantly: "Really? Who are the players? Don't let a bystander like you really think you'll be the checkmate in the end."
LiWanwan has a sweet smile and looks pure and harmless.
"You don't have to trick me. I just don't want my good sister to make a mistake."
LiShuang wanted to say something else, but she didn't want to talk anymore and went downstairs directly.
Mao Anan is going to settle her brother tonight, so LiShuang is the only one in the bedroom.
Oh, and there is also a BaJie.
LiShuang was lying on the bed.
[BaJie, what do you think? ]
BaJie's system brain is about to freeze: [I said that no matter how advanced the Tongzi is, it can't replace humans. You guys are so conceited! ]
LiShuang turned over: [Shen Yuci and ShenJi, which side should I stand on? ]
BaJie suggested purely for safety and long-term considerations.
[Shen Yu should resign. After all, there is a dead end waiting for ShenJi, and it is not safe. ]
LiShuang turned over and lay flat again: [But Shen Yuci is hiding a secret, I am not sure. ]
[ShenJi, are you sure about this? ] BaJie asked back.
LiShuang fell silent.
What LiWanwan said today, that she didn't care, was a lie.
The original owner had a close relationship with Shen Yuci, and the two families had planned an alliance long time ago. This was no secret.
And after coming here and spending these few days together, Shen Yuci really fell madly in love with the original owner.
So it is possible that I am the bait thrown by ShenJi.
She was a little annoyed and wanted to raise her hand to rest her arm, but the jade bracelet on her wrist pressed down on her wrist with weight, as if reminding her——
ShenJi took LiWanwan to attend the auction.
I spent a fortune to buy this bracelet.
It was not given to LiWanwan, but given to her.
LiShuang was a little annoyed: [I don't know.]
[ShenJi seems to treat me differently. If I had known I would not have left so early, it might have been more convenient if I had gained more of his trust and preference.]
BaJie is lying if he says he doesn't admire you: [You really don't love anyone, you just want to be a stepping stone? ]
LiShuang's heart moved slightly.
I have slept with him so many times, at least every time I slept with him, I was very passionate about it.
There is no acting involved, it is just the truest self.
It seems too heartless to say that I don't feel anything...
But thinking about ShenJi telling him to get out again and again, and his attitude like looking at a dog made him angry.
She turned over and lay on her side, turned off the light and closed her eyes.
[Of course not. I would rather love him than a dog.]
[...] BaJie felt aggrieved and said nothing.
If you don't love me, then don't love me. I didn't say anything wrong. Why are you angry?
…
The moonlight was as dark as ink, and the stars were twinkling. The side of the villa fell into deeper darkness away from the moonlight.
A streak of scarlet fell straight down from above, then was crushed and lost all its brightness.
ShenJi leaned against the car door, looked up at the darkening balcony, got into the car, and was shrouded in gloom.
"drive."
HeiFeng glanced at the rearview mirror curiously.
"Second Master, since you are here, why don't you call Miss Li and ask her to come out and meet you?"
"I asked you to drive, are you deaf?" ShenJi's eyes swept over like a blade, and his voice seemed to be soaked in ice water.
"Yes." HeiFeng felt a chill on his back and didn't dare to delay driving away.
ShenJi's figure was completely immersed in darkness, and the car was dead silent.
Love him more than you love a dog?
He really—
Some are fed up with her voice.
