Chapter 536 Do you want me to tie lace?
Jiang Huashan was so engrossed in watching that she didn't hear anything for a while. When she finally figured it out, she suddenly realized that the door had been opened at some point.
Shen Guiling was standing at the other end of the door, looking at her in surprise.
Jiang Huashan was stunned for a moment, looking down at the mallet in his hand, his expression visibly stiff.
Shen Guiling crossed his arms, his eyes fixed on her, and said politely, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person..."
"..." Jiang Huashan's forehead jumped. He stood up and kicked the door shut. Turning around, he found that he was still holding a hammer in his hand. He threw it into the suitcase without saying a word.
As expected, you can't be careless with the Queen at all, she really dares to give you anything.
"Knock Knock-"
There was another knock on the door.
Jiang Huashan closed her eyes and opened the door. "I am just like this, how can..."
Mo Ran was stunned for a moment, the smile on his face paused for a second and then returned to normal, "Miss Jiang, the meal is ready."
Jiang Huashan changed her tone and smiled, "I understand."
The two walked into the restaurant one after the other. Shen Guiling had already served the soup and greeted her nonchalantly, "Have some soup first?"
Mo Ran said that he would cook something simple, but in fact he showed his best skills. There were four dishes and a soup, including two main dishes, braised spare ribs and squirrel mandarin fish. Faced with the delicious food, Jiang Huashan instantly ignored the little embarrassment.
As soon as she sat down, Shen Guiling brought her a bowl of bird's nest in clear soup and handed it to her, "Try Assistant Mo's cooking."
Having said that, Jiang Huashan couldn't refuse. She took the soup bowl and turned to look at Mo Ran who was standing beside her. "Assistant Mo, let's eat together. No need to be so polite."
Mo Ran smiled and declined, "No, I just ate in the kitchen. Miss Jiang, you may not know that the cook is full when cooking, and can't eat now."
"Really?" Jiang Huashan looked down at the bird's nest in her hand and suddenly thought of Zhang Ru. Mother Zhang was the same. She always made delicious food for her in different ways, but she ate very little herself.
Mo Ran saw that Jiang Huashan's brows were a little dazed, so he immediately changed the subject, "Miss Jiang, you guys eat first, I'll go pack your luggage for you."
"Hey!" Jiang Huashan's alarm bells immediately rang, and she quickly grabbed Mo Ran.
Shen Jiao had stuffed more than a dozen boxes into her hands. One of them had already exploded. She couldn't even imagine what the others would look like. What if...
Shen Guiling used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of pork ribs and put it into her bowl, saying gently, "Don't worry, Assistant Mo is a professional."
Jiang Huashan sneered, "Why should I be worried?"
Seeing this, Mo Ran nodded and immediately ran to the door to move the boxes.
Jiang Huashan stretched his neck to look at the door, then turned to look at Shen Guiling, pretending that the previous scene had never happened. He asked curiously, "Isn't Mo Ran your father's man? Why is he following you all of a sudden?"
Shen Guiling leaned closer to her and lowered her voice deliberately, "Lei Xing found out about me climbing through the window before."
Jiang Huashan's eyes suddenly widened.
"Lei Xing persuaded me to stop and even threatened that if my grandfather found out, I would be arrested and drowned in a pond."
Seeing that she was listening attentively, Shen Guiling's lips curled slightly and he moved closer. "He wanted to break us up, so I replaced him."
“…” What the hell are you talking about breaking up? Jiang Huashan was speechless. He straightened his body silently and lowered his head to drink the soup.
Shen Guiling smiled. Whether it was disgust or anger, as long as it was alive, she found it interesting.
"What do you want to do after dinner?" he asked.
Jiang Huashan raised her head, with no idea for a moment.
She originally planned to go back to her room to organize her thoughts, but there was so much luggage that Mo Ran couldn't pack it all in a short time.
Seeing that she had no idea, Shen Guiling took the initiative to put out the bait again, "Let's catch the traitor together?"
When it comes to catching the traitor, Jiang Huashan instantly became alert. She and Fu Sui'er reasoned for a long time, but still had three suspects left. Shen Guiling was so smart, maybe he could give her a different idea.
But, is this guy so kind?
She squinted at him and asked, "Do you have any other conditions?"
Shen Guiling casually stirred the bird's nest in front of him, his expression harmless. "Of course I want to form an alliance, but I have to let you try it out first. If you're not satisfied, you can withdraw from the alliance."
"try out?"
"Well, I have to let you know if I'm any good."
"..."
What's going on? I suddenly thought of the hammer from before.
This is the first time I've seen someone so disrespectful.
Jiang Huashan felt a little uneasy, not wanting Shen Guiling to notice her flaws. She cleared her throat and said in a deliberately aggressive tone, "Then hurry up and eat."
Just give it a try. If she finds the first traitor by chance, she won't lose anything.
Shen Guiling saw that she was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, but she didn't care. She picked up another piece of fish for her and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You should chew your food slowly."
Jiang Huashan frowned and couldn't help but look at Shen Guiling again. Something was wrong. This guy was so confident. Could it be that he really knew who the murderer was?
Thinking of this, she no longer had any other thoughts. She casually took a few bites and stood up. She picked up the wet towel on the table and wiped her mouth, "I'm full."
Shen Guiling put down his chopsticks and stood up. "Where are we going to talk?"
Jiang Huashan looked around and pointed at the glass-enclosed study.
The study had always been used by Shen Guiling. After Jiang Huashan moved in, it was filled with paints and picture albums, and now it has become half a hand-painting studio.
Shen Guiling felt a little regretful, but had no objection and followed Jiang Huashan into the study.
One of them sat on a leather chair at the desk, and the other sat on a high chair in front of the drawing board. They looked at each other, one affectionate and gentle, the other serious and earnest.
The matter was of great importance. Jiang Huashan thought for a moment and decided to get straight to the point. "Do you know who is behind Shen Zhi?"
Shen Guiling nodded without beating around the bush, "It's Shen Che."
It turned out to be the third room.
A dark light flashed in Jiang Huashan's eyes, but he suppressed it after a moment. "Why do you say it was Shen Che? What evidence do you have?"
Although she had guessed that most people in the Shen family had problems, she had to figure out what branch story each person corresponded to, because only by understanding the plot direction of the traitors could she use the plot to rewrite the final ending.
Shen Guiling said, "I found a transaction between Shen Che and Yao Ge, and it involved a total of 300 million yuan, and that's just one quarter's dividend. Also, after that aunt Gong from your hospital came to Nanwan, she's been using her grocery shopping to buy drugs at the fish stall. The owner of the fish stall gets his DP from a high-end nightclub in Nanwan, and the owner behind that club is also Yao Ge."
Jiang Huashan frowned. She had secretly gone to Chao Club to search for evidence of Shen Che's drug trafficking, but found nothing.
It now seems that because Fu Jiaming died suddenly, the plot of the previous life has been slightly adjusted. After Shen Che became the boss of Chao Club, he could not keep the shady business on his own territory, so his partner changed from Fu Jiaming to Yao Ge.
That’s right, the information chain is closed.
Jiang Huashan breathed a sigh of relief.
"You believe it now?" Shen Guiling thought she would ask more questions, but she didn't question him at all, leaving all his prepared ideas useless. "Don't you have anything else to ask?"
Jiang Huashan stood up and said, "No more, the trial is over~"
Gone just like that? It ended so suddenly.
Without thinking, Shen Guiling grabbed her wrist and said, "I haven't finished yet."
"Do you have any more information?"
Yes, everyone's story line is different, and the planes and plots they see are different. Especially since Shen Guiling is the male protagonist, he will be given a large part of the credits of the show.
Jiang Huashan couldn't help but feel a little more curious after hearing this. "What else do you know?"
Shen Guiling looked into her eyes, which were so clear and transparent that he could see through them at a glance, but he knew that this was just an appearance.
No one has ever seen through the real her. There is an abyss hidden in her eyes, just like there is another world hidden in her heart.
"I also know that you have a secret."
Jiang Huashan's eyelashes moved slightly, and a glance passed through his eyes calmly, "Secret? Isn't this nonsense? As long as we are human, there will always be something hidden in our hearts. I am also a human, of course I have secrets."
Shen Guiling shook his head, clasped her hands and pulled her towards him, "You know that's not what I'm talking about."
Jiang Huashan smiled, his eyes calm, "I don't know. Shen Guiling, don't use your self-righteous cleverness to guess at me."
Shen Guiling stood up. "Do I think you know better than me? I pride myself on being smart, but even at the age of twelve, I was still controlled by others. What about you? You drove my biological mother out of Shen Garden, helped the Shen family see through the Fu family's conspiracy, helped Fu Sui'er to be reborn after Nirvana, and helped grandpa keep Shen Qingyu. At the age of fifteen, you were even more amazing. You helped Shen Mianzhi turn the tide, helped Su Miao regain control of her life, and helped Zhou Qishan get what she wanted..."
Shen Guiling had known this for a long time, so she wrapped herself up tightly. Once she found someone trying to invade her territory, she would build steel thorns on the wall of her heart, just like the thorny vines she planted outside the wall of the chrysanthemum garden.
But he also understood himself. Once he made up his mind, the thorns on the courtyard wall could not stop him, nor could worldly ethics, nor even fame, wealth and power. So even though he knew it would anger Jiang Huashan, he still wanted to give it a try, because only by tearing off her mask could he become the person in her heart, just like her grandfather.
Jiang Huashan frowned, his eyes showing no emotion, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Shen Guiling met her gaze, lowered his eyes slightly, and said with a bit of coaxing and negotiation, "I want to say, you are so lonely alone, let me accompany you."
Jiang Huashan's eyes paused for a moment, and for a moment she seemed not to understand what "accompany" meant.
But, don’t you really understand?
No, it’s because I don’t believe it.
My grandfather once said that in this world, the only one who can always be with you is yourself.
Shen Guiling kept looking into her eyes. Even though her beautiful peach blossom eyes were all an illusion, he was smart enough to catch a flaw from a ray of starlight.
He lowered his posture again, and said in a very low voice, "Jiang Huashan, no matter what you have been through, trust me once, just this once."
Seeing the emotions in her eyes constantly wavering, Shen Guiling took her hand and placed it on his heart, whispering to her, "You are such a brave person, how could you not even have the courage to try? Let's try it, just once, and if you don't like it, just stop."
Jiang Huashan shook his head, "But it's impossible for us."
In her previous life, she and Shen Guiling had no intersection. Although this is not the previous drama, the main plot is basically the same.
Shen Guiling thought she was talking about the relationship between siblings and said indifferently, "Who stipulates whether it is possible or not? As long as we are willing, no one can control our choices."
He does not mean that.
The light in Jiang Huashan's eyes brightened a little more. What she said was true. She tried her best to get rid of the drama in order to take control of her own life. She didn't have to worry about the ending of her previous life when making choices in her life. Anyway, the ending would definitely be changed in the end.
"You're right, no one can control my choices." She smiled, and the mist in her peach blossom eyes dissipated, shining brightly. "So you can't either. Don't try to seduce me. I used this trick last time. Shen Guiling, try something new."
After saying that, she shook off his hand and turned to leave.
Shen Guiling loved her unrestrained and bright look very much. Even after being exposed, she was not angry at all. She hugged her waist from behind and half-circled her in her arms. "What do you like? Do you want me to tie lace?"
"..."
“…” Jiang Huashan pretended not to understand and directly pulled away the devil’s claws on his waist.
Shen Guiling refused to let her have her wish and held her tightly in his arms, "What color do you like? Black? White? Or... pink!"
"..."
Ahhhh! You bastard! Isn't my face a face? I'm going to fight you.
Jiang Huashan finally couldn't help it, rioted on the spot, turned around and scratched his face.
Shen Guiling was a head taller than her. He raised his chin slightly and easily restrained her hands. His expression was serious. "What's so fun about those toys? If you like something new, why not play with me? They're lifeless and don't provide any emotional value. I'm different. I know a lot of tricks. I can do whatever you want..."
"Ah!" Jiang Huashan screamed and covered his mouth with his hand.
She lost. It turned out that her skin was not as thick as Shen Wugui's shell.
Shen Guiling was touched by her cuteness. He smiled and pulled her hand into his arms, then lowered his head and grabbed her lower lip. Just when Jiang Huashan thought he would let go like the previous two kisses, Shen Guiling put his arms around her neck and pushed her against the desk, deepening the kiss.
She had no time to react and let him rush in and turn the whole place upside down.
The breathing of both of them became disordered at the same time. Shen Guiling's eyes were slightly red. He raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Huashan. Seeing that she was in a trance for a moment, he lowered his head and kissed her eyes. The numbness left after his eyelashes were scratched made him feel a little bit uncomfortable.
He lowered his head and buried it in her shoulder blade, his nose touching the delicate blue veins and slowly wandering over them. "Jiang Huashan, let me stay with you? I will make the best choice for you."
I will protect you and do as you wish.
"You'll choose me? Hmm?"
My dears, the sky is falling! I deliberately divided it into two chapters. The previous chapter was still stuck for review. The plot you see is not connected because I divided 2000 words into the previous chapter. Otherwise, this chapter would not be published.
