Chapter 1659 Extra: Storm Is Coming
"Well, I'll be down right away." Liang Xin agreed, carrying her luggage bag, locked the door and went downstairs.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom was still the one that came to pick her up.
But this time, Yu Hongzhi drove the car himself.
Arriving near the mansion, Liang Xin looked around and saw a long line of luxury cars, and there were even more people inside and outside the mansion.
Yu Hongzhi parked the car, carried the luggage bag and led Liang Xin to the mansion.
The black-clad bodyguards stopped them to ask about their identities. Yu Hongzhi showed a badge like a work card, and they were allowed to pass. It can be seen that the security measures are very strict.
Crossing the huge lawn and courtyard, walking into the side door of the main building, and going up to the third floor along the back stairs used by servants, Liang Xin followed Yu Hongzhi all the time.
There was no need to ask him why he came to the third floor. He was much more familiar with the Shen family mansion and everything in it than Liang Xin, because the housekeeper Yu Yeye was his father.
At the end of the corridor on the third floor, Yu Hongzhi pushed open the door of a guest room and walked in, saying, "You haven't had dinner yet? Then come and eat with us."
We?
Liang Xin looked suspiciously at the room, which was already lit. There was indeed a table of steaming food in the middle of the bright room, but she didn't see anyone else.
"Are you here?" A familiar deep voice came from the door behind her.
Liang Xin only had time to turn her head to the side, and felt something passing by her side in a gust of wind.
When she looked again, Shen Heqian's tall and handsome figure had walked to the table, and as usual, he greeted her in a calm voice, "Sit down and eat." As he said that, he took off his black coat and suit jacket and handed them to her.
Yu Hongzhi was obviously used to serving him, and instinctively reached out to take it, but his hands missed.
Liang Xin blinked her eyes, and it took her three seconds to realize that she took the clothes and walked to the clothes rack to hang them up, then turned around and sat down at the table.
Shen Heqian sat comfortably leaning against the back of the chair, with a lit cigarette between his fingertips. His iron-gray sweater vest matched with a snow-white shirt and a loose tie showed his casual taste under the swirling smoke.
Yu Hongzhi propped his elbows on the table and held the rice bowl. He ate the rice and vegetables first. His mouth was bulging, but he did not forget to tell Liang Xin incoherently, "Sorry, Xiaoxin, I'm almost fainting from hunger. I couldn't help eating first."
"It's okay, you eat more." Liang Xin smiled at him and responded casually.
In fact, she was also almost fainting from hunger. She took the rice and picked up the bowl, eating it in small bites.
The Shen family, a wealthy family, pays the most attention to details and rules. They must use public chopsticks to pick up dishes. Liang Xin is not used to it, but she can't follow Yu Hongzhi to pick up more meat and vegetables at a time. Alas.
In less than five or six minutes, Yu Hongzhi said that he was full and had to deal with something, so he left in a hurry.
Just now, when he was there, Shen Heqian was silent, and she was silent too, but she didn't feel it was abrupt.
Now without him, the atmosphere in the room gradually became stiff and suffocated.
Liang Xin couldn't help but glance at Shen Heqian who was always smoking and not eating. It happened that he looked at her thoughtfully, which scared her and made her look away awkwardly.
# 160; She felt that Shen Heqian took another deep puff, and then a thin smoke ring floated in front of her.
Liang Xin couldn't help but look sideways, and he suddenly put out the cigarette in the ashtray, stretched his hands in front of her, and said, "Roll it for me."
His tone was relaxed and casual, but his actions would not allow Liang Xin to disobey.
Liang Xin felt that he was weird today, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.
Obediently rolling up his shirt sleeves to his elbows, she also swiftly served a bowl of rice, scooped two spoonfuls of his favorite stir-fried lily into the bowl, put it in front of him, and said softly, "Mr. Qian, please eat."
"Hmm." A single sound escaped from his nose, he lowered his eyes leisurely, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the lily to eat.
He is obviously a mature man, but his eating style is a bit childish.
A little voice in her heart thanked him for pulling her out of the rain today.
"How do you know I like to eat stir-fried lily?" Shen Heqian suddenly approached her and asked.
Liang Xin's face was hot, my God, she was accidentally exposed!
"I, I heard... Grandpa Yu mentioned it unintentionally." She lied stutteringly.
"Oh? Why did the old housekeeper Yu mention it?" Shen Heqian still stared at her without blinking.
What is he doing? He looked like he was determined to get to the bottom of this matter! He made her feel uneasy!
Liang Xin bit her teeth and continued to lie, "He came to my house for dinner, and it happened that, uh, my aunt fried a dish of stir-fried lilies, and he said that Young Master Qian also liked this dish."
Shen Heqian slowly raised half of his lips, "So old housekeeper Yu cares about me so much."
Liang Xin bit the bullet and agreed, "Yes, yes, he is the old housekeeper of the Shen family, and his son is your special assistant, so he naturally cares about you."
Shen Heqian nodded, and then asked, "Yeah, what about you?"
"... Me?" Liang Xin opened her eyes belatedly.
"I mean you, and your family." Shen Heqian added firmly.
"Oh, of course we care about you too." Liang Xin hurriedly expressed his loyalty.
Shen Heqian stared at her, then scooped a spoonful of lily bulbs into her bowl, "I see you like this, too. Come on, eat more."
"Thank you." Liang Xin thanked him, but she was wondering in her heart, how did he know that she liked this dish? This is strange.
"Mr. Qian, the second and third masters asked you to go to the study to discuss something." Yu Hongzhi's voice came from outside the door.
"Okay." Shen Heqian responded concisely, turned around and said softly to Liang Xin, "Take your time to eat. I'll ask Hongzhi to find your father and uncle to accompany you."
Liang Xin was about to speak when he stood up and walked out. She had to stand up and send him to the door.
She didn't go back until their figures disappeared at the corner of the stairs. She continued to eat while thinking.
This Shen family has worked hard in Miancheng for several generations, and now it is the richest man in the city with deep roots.
Old Master Shen has three sons, and the family servants and subordinates respectfully call them the eldest master, the second master, and the third master respectively.
The eldest master is Shen Heqian's father. He was regarded as the future successor by Old Master Shen at a young age. He never thought that he would step into the trap of a large overseas project and was accused of bribery by a multinational group. This incident brought shame to the entire Shen family and the old master.
The eldest master refused to plead guilty, but the other party had clear evidence. The old master was so angry that he wanted to sever the father-son relationship with him. He then confined himself to a villa in the suburbs and committed suicide soon after.
The eldest lady kept shouting for the eldest master, saying that the second and third masters had conspired to frame the eldest master, but no one was willing to believe her.
So she was discouraged and ran away from home with Shen Heqian, returning to her mother's home in the capital, and she left for more than ten years.
