"Dad." Sheng Lijue answered the phone, his voice seemed even colder in the night: "Is something wrong?"
"We can't talk about it if we have nothing to do?" Mr. Sheng said back angrily.
Sheng Lijue wisely didn't say anything. If the old man doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, he must be up to something.
When Mr. Sheng saw that Sheng Mingcheng didn't speak, he was finally satisfied. He thought about it and said, "I just came back from Mingcheng, and Qiuqiu is cooking for him. The two of them have a good relationship."
He was silent for a moment, and then listened carefully to the breathing on the other end of the phone, but didn't hear anything strange.
Not getting the result he wanted, Mr. Sheng continued to test unwillingly: "Li Jue, you are also their elder, and you are good at judging people. What do you think of this girl Qiuqiu? Is she a good match for Mingcheng?"
Sheng Lijue closed his notebook, and the lights in the study suddenly dimmed a bit, making his expression hidden in the haze and unable to see clearly.
He was smart and didn't answer, but asked: "Don't you already know what's going on?"
Shi Qiuqiu dared to cook for Sheng Mingcheng. Has she forgotten the lesson she learned last night?
Sheng Lijue was playing with the pen, gradually getting ready to break it, but on the surface he remained calm.
He knew that the old man must have suspected something.
Mr. Sheng asked: "I am old and I don't understand the feelings of young people very well. What do you think?"
"I think..." Sheng Lijue smiled coldly, he didn't think it was good.
He wanted to simply admit his relationship with Shi Qiuqiu, and then let Sheng Mingcheng and Shi Qiuqiu break off their engagement. He could immediately make Shi Qiuqiu his legitimate woman.
From then on, Sheng Mingcheng no longer had any reason to pester Shi Qiuqiu.
However, when he was about to open his mouth, he thought of the woman from five years ago. He hesitated again and again, but still held it back.
He asked: "Dad, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd?"
"I received a photo." Mr. Sheng simply spread it out and said, "Not long ago, you and the young couple went to the Sky Garden for dinner?"
Sheng Lijue's eyes darkened, and he instantly understood the origin of the phone call. He wanted to know the whole story and let the old man know that his daughter-in-law was close at hand.
However, if Shi Qiuqiu is not the same person five years ago, how will he end up?
He had been searching for that woman for five years, was he going to give up just because of Shi Qiuqiu?
"Well, we had dinner together." Sheng Lijue closed his eyes, and finally chose to help Sheng Mingcheng deal with the old man: "What photos did you receive? We booked the venue that day."
These words coincided with what Sheng Mingcheng said, and Mr. Sheng's suspicion was finally completely dispelled. He warned: "It's nothing, it's just that someone is eyeing you and took some messy photos. Just explain clearly."
"I know." Sheng Lijue responded with a serious look on his face.
Mr. Sheng was about to hang up the phone, but suddenly...
He thought of something else and asked, "I see that you don't reject Qiuqiu?"
Sheng Lijue squeezed the pen tightly and said lukewarmly: "Isn't she going to marry into the Sheng family sooner or later?"
"That's right." Mr. Sheng suddenly laughed: "Then you have to hurry up. Is that girl from last time still there? Do you want me to help you..."
"No, I'm very busy." Sheng Lijue rejected the old man's gossip and hung up the phone in despair.
Thinking that Shi Qiuqiu actually went to cook for Sheng Mingcheng, the pen was completely scrapped in his hands and was thrown into the trash can.
Thinking of Shi Qiuqiu and the woman from five years ago, Sheng Lijue felt a little anxious.
He dare not do anything now because he is afraid that Shi Qiuqiu is not the woman she was five years ago and that he has found the wrong person.
But if he did nothing, he was afraid that Shi Qiuqiu would be the woman from five years ago. By then it would be too late and Shi Qiuqiu would marry Sheng Mingcheng.
With a sullen face, Sheng Lijue called Assistant Lin and asked displeasedly: "Assistant Lin, how long has Shi Qiuqiu been involved in? Why haven't you found out whether Shi Qiuqiu was the woman from five years ago?"
Assistant Lin was about to go to bed when he received a call from his boss with an embarrassed look on his face: "Mr. Sheng, Shi Qiuqiu's information has been tampered with, and the person who did it is very clever. To get the hidden information, I still need to
It takes a little time, but it is precisely because of this that it shows that Shi Qiuqiu is definitely not simple."
"I just want to see the evidence and the truth." Sheng Lijue was annoyed and urged: "Hurry up, as soon as possible."
Assistant Lin was both confused, but he could only nod his head and agreed: "I will intensify the investigation and report to you as soon as I have any news."
Sheng Lijue threw away his cell phone. He originally wanted to call Shi Qiuqiu to question him, but when he thought about his care, he lost his confidence. The disputes and contradictions all ended with him in the final analysis.
If he could be ruthless and openly agree with Shi Qiuqiu and promise to marry her, who could stop him?
Sheng Lijue punched the table hard and returned to the bedroom with a cold face. Facing the cold room, he kept tossing and turning and fell asleep again...
…
The drama filmed by Shi Qiuqiu and Shu Yan has gone through twists and turns and is finally about to be completed.
On the set, Shu Yan finished filming the last scene.
"Sister Yan, congratulations on wrapping up the filming." The assistant director brought a bouquet of flowers and gave it to Shu Yan.
But when he saw Shu Yan looking at Shi Qiuqiu who was still preparing for the next scene a little absent-mindedly, he suddenly felt bad, fearing that Shu Yan would cause trouble to Shi Qiuqiu again.
He quickly led people to the lounge: "It's windy outside, let's go to the lounge to sit for a while, take off our makeup, and have a meal together in the evening."
Shu Yan responded absently and sent the assistant director away first.
These days, she has been waiting for the old man to find out the truth after seeing the photo, and then becomes disgusted with Shi Qiuqiu. It is best for Shi Qiuqiu and Sheng Mingcheng to terminate their engagement immediately.
But after waiting for so long, she didn't wait.
What went wrong?
Shu Yan handed the flowers to his assistant, took a bottle of water and came to Shi Qiuqiu during the break. He smiled very kindly at her for the first time and said, "I'm done, you have to keep working hard."
When the staff saw Shu Yan approaching, they all wisely gave up their seats and walked far away so as not to disturb them.
Shi Qiuqiu didn't know what Shu Yan wanted to do, so he could only cope with the changes by remaining unchanged.
She raised her eyebrows: "Congratulations on wrapping up."
"Since Mingcheng was discharged from the hospital, he has been busy with the company. You haven't seen him for a long time, right?" Shu Yan sat next to Shi Qiuqiu and asked tentatively, his eyes passing by Shi Qiuqiu's expression from time to time, thinking
You need to see some flaws.
Shi Qiuqiu acted indifferent and even mocked: "Are you asking me about your boyfriend? So, Sheng Mingcheng hasn't contacted you recently?"
