"Twenty, I have something very important that I need to explain to you first."
On the phone, the eldest brother-in-law's voice sounded particularly heavy, and Sheng Shi's heart suddenly tightened when he heard it. He vaguely guessed that something important was about to happen.
Shengshi calmly spoke to the phone, said "hmm" softly, stopped talking, and quietly waited for his eldest brother-in-law to give him the advance delivery.
On the other end of the phone, there was a pause of nearly a minute before the eldest brother-in-law's voice came out. He spoke very clearly, word for word. Shengshi's face became more and more serious as he listened. He waited until the eldest brother-in-law finished speaking.
After finishing speaking, Shengshi opened his mouth and asked: "Is it true?"
"It's completely true." The eldest brother-in-law paused, and then added: "Twenty, if it wasn't true, I wouldn't tell you the truth in advance. I tell you this so that you can have a bottom line in your heart, so that you won't be confused.
When the incident broke out, you were caught off guard. You have to keep these secrets and never leak them out, especially to Lanshan. You know what I mean, and these are still confidential for the time being."
There was no change in the expression on Shengshi's face. Only when he mentioned Gu Lanshan, his eyes flickered slightly before he spoke and said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I won't tell her."
"That's good. There's nothing to do now. I'm very busy here. If you're fine, I'll hang up first."
"Yeah." Shengshi seemed a little careless. As soon as he finished answering, he said again: "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong? Twenty?"
"How long will it take for the thing you mentioned to break out?"
"That's next week."
"Oh." Next week... today is Saturday, that is to say, there are less than seven days left. "It's okay, just hang up."
"Contact me if anything happens."
"Um."
After the phone call was cut off, Shengshi stood in the study, but left. Instead, he stood motionless, with complicated emotions rolling in his eyes.
After a long time, Sheng Shicai slowly put his cell phone into his pocket, turned around, and walked out of the study.
When he returned to the bedroom, Gu Lanshan had just woken up and was still lying on the bed with dazed eyes. Because she was drunk yesterday, she had a headache and her face was a little pale. When Sheng Shi came in, Gu Lanshan just said softly.
He twitched the corners of his lips and forced a smile: "Good morning!"
Shengshi's originally chaotic and complicated eyes became clean and gentle the moment they met Gu Lanshan's face. He curved his lips and said, "Are you awake?"
"Yeah." Gu Lanshan responded softly, raised her hand, rubbed her head, and then sat up from the bed.
