Chapter 31          Old Friends (1)

"Didn't you say you won't come in and take risks? Why don't you just listen?"

The sound was as light as an illusion, and it flicked over Song Shu's ears, so fast that it could not be grasped.

Song Shu seemed to be stunned. She stopped for a long time in the action of lowering her eyes and looking at the black tea cup. Then she blinked gently.

"Aunt An."

“…”

"I thought you didn't recognize me."

An Xingyun was silent for a few seconds, raised his eyes, and saw the person who had completely removed his appearance as a child in front of him and grew up.

She sighed again, "Yes, it's a big change, so big that I can't recognize it... Have you lived alone for the years?"

Song Shu poured the cup of black tea with cinnamon in his hand into the abandoned pond. While taking the tea powder again, he whispered: "Aunt An doesn't have to be sad for me, I'm doing a good life. Uncle Yu's family takes good care of me."

"Yu Yuntao, I almost forgot him." An Xingyun nodded with a light movement, "His son is Yu Qisheng from the Junsheng Law Firm rumored by the company, right?"

"yes."

"This matter is hidden strictly. Don't mention it in front of others, and Qin Lou can't do it either."

"..." Song Shu blinked, "Okay."

The frozen temperature in An Xingyun's eyes melted slightly, "Is this true that you and him are unmarried couples?"

“…”

Song Shu hung his eyes helplessly.

An Xingyun and her mother Bai Song came from the same university. They were not in the same major on the surface, but because they met in an extracurricular student activity, they gradually became familiar with each other and became friends. When An Xingyun entered the Qin family, Bai Song also had a lot of efforts and persuasion behind her.

Due to their personalities, they are both independent and particularly tough and even stubborn in some aspects.

After An Xingyun entered the Qin family, the two people were different, and the two factions they were in happened to have some competition and rifts, so in everyone's eyes, these two people had no connection - it was also because of this that all the confidants and subordinates in the company who were related to Bai Song were cleaned up and implicated, but Bai Song's true lifelong friendship was ignored and was able to stay in the company until now.

And in the disaster that year, if An Xingyun had notified Yu Yuntao in time to rescue Song Shu, Song Shu would probably have no chance to stand here again.

Therefore, at this time, Song Shu knew very well that any questions An Xingyun asked him had nothing to do with gossip - An Xingyun was like her elder without blood relationship, just simply caring about her affairs.

Song Shu naturally cannot deceive such elders. "Aunt An, Yu Qisheng and I are just a classmate and friend. At most, I am grateful to Uncle Yu's family for helping me and taking care of me, and there is nothing else."

"Yu Qisheng is a good boy, can't he?"

"It's not a question of whether it's good or not." The Ceylon black tea in Song Shu's hand reached the final process, and her movements became slower and slower, and her voice was lighter and lower. "It's just that Yu Qisheng is not suitable for me, and I am not suitable for him either. And... this matter is ahead, and I don't want to consider anything else."

An Xingyun looked up and looked at her faintly, "I really hope you treat everyone equally and ignore everyone so much-but can you do it?"

“…”

"If you can really do it, what's going on with Qin Lou? What's the matter with you who stayed alone in the office tonight?"

“…”

Song Shu naturally knew what An Xingyun meant.

She also remembered that even before that happened nine years ago, An Xingyun had great prejudice and disliked the Qin family's only grandson.

Thinking of this, Song Shu's lips curled lightly.

An Xingyun glanced at her and said without any expression: "You can still laugh? Do you know how dangerous Qinlou is to you?"

Song Shu lowered his eyes, "It's nothing, I just thought that Aunt An, you have been working as an assistant beside Qin Lou for so many years, so you must have tolerated him so hard."

“…”

When Song Shu took the initiative to mention the madman, An Xingyun's expression became a little more complicated.

"He is even more suitable for you, especially now you. Qin Lou's personality is too paranoid after all. He is obsessed with you... Even if there is no rift between you two, I will never agree with it. What's more, now, you don't know where we will go, who will be involved along the way, or even what the end of the road will end, who can be outside the situation and who is in the bureau - why do you have to provoke him, it will not be beneficial to anyone."

Song Shu lowered his eyes, "I didn't take the initiative to provoke him, Aunt An. It's just that some people are just like some things, and they can't hide away."

"Including this option for vio?"

"..." The obedient topic once again revolved around the core contradiction between the two - this was also the place where Song Shu had already had countless disputes when he contacted An Xingyun before returning to China.

Song Shu said helplessly: "I told you that the vio and a pool of stagnant water are now hidden in the sludge for too long, and they are no longer willing to come out again - I have to be that bait. Only when I enter the game can they be hooked up, and the truth of that thing back then can be revealed."

An Xingyun looked unmoved, "What should you do if you die? I contacted Yu Yuntao so risky and desperately to rescue you, not to let you come back to die in nine years."

Hearing this, Song Shu laughed.

"If I die...that would be even better. That incident had a completely open opportunity back then. I don't believe that in the big net we woven with nine years of relationships, I would almost die silently like my mother or me back then."

"Song, Shu."

An Xingyun lowered his voice to warn her.

Song Shu retreated from that cold smile, and her eyes curled back to her original gentleness and harmlessness. Then Song Shu lowered her head and stirred the spoon in her hand, and smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Aunt An. I won't really let myself go to that point."

"..." An Xingyun was obviously not relieved.

Song Shu looked back at her, "Even for those who are still alive, I won't."

An Xingyun looked at her for two seconds, withdrew her gaze and put the almost cold coffee back into her palm, "Since that's the case, I can't persuade you anymore. But you have to be responsible for taking risks, do you know?"

"I understand, Aunt An."

An Xingyun nodded and turned around and wanted to leave.

Song Shu suddenly asked behind her, "Who is there anyone in the assistant group that Sister An suspects?"

An Xingyun stopped his pace, and after two seconds of silence, he spoke, "Did you see it?"

"If I didn't see it, I wouldn't have the illusion of being in the assistant group."

"To clear the suspicion for me?" Turning back to Song Shu, An Xingyun finally showed a gentle smile on his lips, but it quickly flattened again. "It's not a doubt, it's just not that trust."

Song Shu nodded, "I understand. I will be careful in the future."

"You... are careful enough."

An Xingyun remembered the scene in the assistant group that she almost couldn't catch, so she shook her head helplessly, turned around and went out.

After many experiments, Song Shu finally made a cup of Ceylon black tea that satisfies her. She tasted too much herself and couldn't drink it anymore. Thinking about the fact that there was a person on this floor that she could please her on the surface and not be suspected, Song Shu happily took the black tea cup to the general manager's office.

Through the general manager's office, you must pass through the office of the assistant secretary group. In the completely transparent glass door, someone looked up and saw Song Shu's figure and laughed softly.

"It's really hard to seduce and please. Jiajia, you have to be careful. If the newcomer you taught himself robs of a job, wouldn't that be miserable?"

Xu Jiajia was uneasy and worried when she heard this, and then shook her head, "No, Miss Qin is a pretty good person."

"Haha, if you are a good person, you won't have a fiancé who is still rushing to the general manager's office like this."

“…Okay.”

An Xingyun at the computer desk frowned, "Is the work in my hands done? I dare to talk about the words of the general manager behind his back, and I don't want to work overtime and want to quit directly?"

“…………”

An Xingyun was in the assistant group and the rest did not dare to refute it, so they all lowered their heads.

An Xingyun's light rushed over someone in the room and fell back to the computer quietly.

She sighed helplessly in her heart again.

Song Shu...

On the other side, Song Shu had already knocked on the door of the general manager's office and pushed it in.

The man who closed his eyes behind the desk opened his eyes and was about to scold him when he saw that it was Song Shu, and his words were all suppressed back.

His originally gloomy eyes twisted, and he forced himself to move from a wolf that rushed up to a stray puppy that was only shrunk.

"Tired." Qin Wandering Puppy looked at Song Shu pitifully.

Song Shu walked over and put the brewed Ceylon black tea on his table, "I just learned that I added less tea powder and the concentration is relatively low. You can try it - don't drink too much, so as not to affect your rest."

Qin Lou's eyes lit up, "You made it with your own hands?"

"Um."

"Have you added some clam shell powder to it? I heard that it is beautiful and beautiful."

“…”

Song Shu endured it, but on the last day of the second week of formal employment, he made a mistake in the company's general manager's face.

"Do you drink?"

"Drink." Qin Lou hurriedly invited him over.

Song Shu looked at him curiously and seemed to be studying the difference between the black tea brewed by his little clam shell and what others made.

Song Shu lowered her eyes.

“The work is over?”

"Um."

“…”
