But Shi Qiuqiu could tell that the old man didn't seem to know the specific situation of Sheng Lijue.
"Then let me play a game of chess with you, so that you won't be bored alone." Shi Qiuqiu suggested that he might as well take this opportunity to find out how much Mr. Sheng knew about the situation at Sheng Lijue's side.
However, after playing chess all morning, there was still no useful information, but it was considered as accompanying the old man for Sheng Lijue.
Before leaving, I happened to bump into Sheng Mingcheng who was returning from the company.
The two looked at each other, a little embarrassed.
Shi Qiuqiu greeted generously: "Just got off work?"
"Well, are you coming to see...Grandpa?" Sheng Mingcheng touched his nose: "I'll take you back."
Shi Qiuqiu originally wanted to say no, but thinking about Sheng Lijue, she nodded again: "Thank you then."
Sheng Mingcheng didn't expect that she would agree, and was immediately surprised. He quickly took the car keys and put her in the car. He was very excited, but he didn't know where to start.
"How have you been lately?"
"Let's make do." Shi Qiuqiu fastened his seat belt and couldn't wait to ask: "I want to ask you, did Sheng Lijue get into trouble when he went to work abroad?"
The joy in Sheng Mingcheng's heart was immediately poured with cold water, and his whole body withered: "It turns out that you are doing it for your uncle, no wonder you are willing to get in my car."
Shi Qiuqiu frowned: What's wrong with this guy?
"You don't know either?"
Sheng Mingcheng smiled bitterly: "I don't know much. The Shengshi family has a great cause, and my ability is not as good as that of my uncle. What is he going to do? How can the people below know?"
Shi Qiuqiu looked disappointed, not hearing the disappointment and injustice in his voice, and muttered: "Isn't anyone worried that he can't be contacted for so long? Isn't there any movement from the company?"
"You can't contact uncle?" Sheng Mingcheng was surprised. He quickly stopped the car and took out his mobile phone to call. As expected, no one answered. The assistant's phone was also turned off. Only then did he realize something was wrong: "Uncle has been on business trips several times.
Oh my god, I haven’t heard anything from the company, how could I lose contact?”
Shi Qiuqiu's heart immediately raised: "So, maybe something happened to him?"
Seeing her anxious look, Sheng Mingcheng felt uncomfortable, but comforted him: "Don't worry, my uncle is so powerful, nothing will happen. There may be some delay. I will contact the people in the overseas branch when I get back, and there will definitely be news."
of."
Shi Qiuqiu finally calmed down and said a little more sincerely this time: "Thank you."
"This is what I should do, just think of it as repaying your previous favor. After all, I was very sorry for you before." Sheng Mingcheng touched his nose and restarted the car: "No more, I will take you back first."
"No, I'll get off here." Shi Qiuqiu unbuckled his seat belt: "I still have something to deal with."
Sheng Mingcheng's expression changed, and his smile was bitter: "Shi Qiuqiu, you are so cruel, you are not so quick to burn bridges across rivers, right? I just want to send you home, I won't do anything to you."
Shi Qiuqiu was helpless: "I really have something..."
"Are you and uncle confirmed to be together?" Sheng Mingcheng suddenly asked: "It will always be like this from now on..."
"This is our business." Shi Qiuqiu immediately became defensive: "I'm sorry, it's really late. I'll wait until Sheng Lijue comes back and I'll have the chance to thank you again."
She turned around to leave, then thought about it and turned back: "Sheng Mingcheng, you owe me nothing. The bad things were all done by Shu Yan. It was only right for you to help her in your capacity at that time. You don't have to feel guilty."
Sheng Mingcheng watched her leave with a look of sadness on his face.
After returning from the old house, Shi Qiuqiu did not go back to the villa. Instead, he took a taxi directly to Tan Qining's company, but the front desk insisted that he was out.
Shi Qiuqiu guessed that this might happen, so she refused to have lunch at the old house, hoping to wait and wait for Tan Qining during lunch time.
Shi Qiuqiu was sitting in the company lobby waiting, and sure enough, she saw Tan Qining getting off the elevator at noon.
But when he saw Shi Qiuqiu, Tan Qining suddenly ran away quickly.
Shi Qiuqiu quickly chased after him until he was outside the company: "Mr. Tan, please wait a moment."
"I've already said that I need time to think about it. Just go back and wait for my call." Tan Qining said impatiently, got in the car and left.
Intuitively, Tan Qining was perfunctory with her, so Shi Qiuqiu came to see Tan Qining for several days. Sometimes she could see her, sometimes not, but she was there regardless of the weather.
Lying on her side on the bed tiredly, Shi Qiuqiu stared straight out of the window, feeling deeply powerless and unwilling to wipe away her tears.
It seemed that no matter how she tried to persuade him, Tan Qining was stubborn. She didn't know if what she was doing was in vain, but she could only persevere.
A shooting star suddenly flashed across the dark night sky. Shi Qiuqiu saw it and quickly sat up and made a wish, praying that Tan Qining would promise her tomorrow and that Luo Luo's illness would get better soon.
She just didn't know where the meteor would follow, or whether her wish would come true.
The phone rang and it was Sheng Lijue. Shi Qiuqiu was very excited and was about to answer the phone. However, she was worried that Sheng Lijue would notice that she had just cried, so she adjusted her mood to appear as normal as possible.
"I will go back tomorrow." Sheng Lijue's gentle voice sounded in his ears, giving endless comfort to the exhausted Shi Qiuqiu.
"Ah? Really? Everything in the company has been settled? Nothing major happened, right?" Shi Qiuqiu couldn't hide his excitement and asked several questions.
Hearing the news, Shi Qiuqiu felt mixed emotions.
Fortunately, Sheng Lijue was abroad for more than half a month and she missed him very much, so she could finally see him.
For the first time, she felt that she was so helpless without Sheng Lijue by her side.
What worries her is that once Sheng Lijue comes back, it will not be so convenient for her to contact Tan Qining. After all, she has no plans to tell Sheng Lijue about finding Luo Luo's biological father.
"Huh? Did something happen to you over there?" Sheng Lijue noticed Shi Qiuqiu's strange expression.
Shi Qiuqiu quickly broke out into a big smile: "No, no, I'm so happy that I haven't seen you for almost a month."
"So you miss me so much?" Sheng Lijue was obviously very satisfied with Shi Qiuqiu's answer.
"Yes, I miss you, I miss you so much." Shi Qiuqiu's words came from the bottom of her heart. She had never missed Sheng Lijue so much, and tears burst out of her eyes inadvertently.
"Silly girl, don't cry." Sheng Lijue stretched out his hand and made a gesture of caressing Shi Qiuqiu's head through the screen, with a loving look in his eyes.
"You have to come back quickly and touch my head so that I won't stop crying." Shi Qiuqiu joked with tears in his eyes to show that everything was fine here.
