Chapter 8 Anne's Tears (1)
1
On the day Shi Yin returned to Mu Mansion, Mu Qiang set up a feast.

She was brought back by Yan Yusen in Xi's car. When she entered the door, the driver followed behind with her luggage. She was dressed in a windbreaker, high-heeled shoes and leather gloves. She wrapped herself tightly and delicately. She took off her sunglasses and went upstairs. The mother and daughter of the Xin family also ignored Mu Qiang on the corridor.

Going all the way to her own room, opened the door, and saw Zhi Ai standing at the end of the bed.

Zhi Ai looked at her who was busy in the world, and she also looked at Zhi Ai who was quiet and quiet.

Then the door was closed, she and Zhi Ai both stepped forward, they hugged gently, Shi Yin's bag let go and fell on the carpet with a puff, she closed her eyes, Zhi Ai said in her ear: "Someone from the Xi's family will replace you." I knew you were successful when my mother went through the formalities, and Mu Qiang changed his attitude, and he kept us."

"Is Mom gone?"

"Well, I didn't make it back in time for you."

"It doesn't matter, the cancer cells spread faster than I came back, as long as it doesn't delay the treatment."

"Before Mom left, I left you some words."

She let go of Zhi Ai and stroked her hair: "Say."

The dinner at Mu's family started in a heavy rain, Mu Qiang took the main seat, Shi Yin sat opposite him, and others sat on both sides.

Yan Yusen was left by Mu Qiang for dinner, he reviewed the situation, and said nothing; Xin Lifen and Xin Yahui toasted and drank, looked at each other, and looked for topics frequently.

The sound of knives and forks was heard all over the table, and occasionally a polite conversation between Mu Qiang and Yan Yusen was added.

"Did you find the watch and jade bracelet?" Suddenly, Shiyin asked.

Xin Yahui, who just had a conversation with Yan Yusen, looked this way before she could react, and smiled, "Sister Shiyin?"

"I said, have you found the watch and jade bracelet?"

"Oh..." Xin Yahui looked at Xin Lifen, Xin Lifen glanced back, Xin Yahui put on a smile, "It's been so long that I forgot, but I remembered that I went to my mother's crew once before, and I guess my mother and I were careless when changing clothes there. lost."

Chi loves to cut the steak head down.

"Really." Shi Yin replied calmly, and took a sip of tea, "I thought there was really a house thief."

"Sister Beiqi made a random guess."

"Sister." Zhi Ai cut off the conversation in a calm tone, both Xin Lifen and Xin Yahui looked at her.

Shi Yin also looked at her.

"Recently we've also started losing jewelry."

Xin Lifen raised her eyebrows slightly, Xin Yahui was still smiling, Shi Yin looked at her fingers carefully, and replied calmly: "You are careless and careless, and it is really useful to have a house thief as an excuse."

Then drink tea, and when lifting the cup, ask: "What did you lose?"

"Annie's Tears."

After Zhi Ai said these four words, the table was silent.

Yan Yusen, who had seen the drama early on, remained calm, while Mu Qiang squinted at Shi Yin from a distance, while Shi Yin blew tea slowly and took a sip.

Xin Lifen and Xin Yahui watched their words and expressions, and when the time came, Yin put down the cups and let out a sound, startling everyone.

"Then let's look for it." She met Mu Qiang's gaze, "Dad?"

"Look for it." Mu Qiang tapped on the table with his fingers, and commanded Fancy in a deep voice, "Look for it!"

Shi Yin laughed.

The second floor was busy for a while, and a table of people continued to eat with different thoughts. Xin Lifen smiled at Mu Qiang: "Why is there such a big movement, there can't be a house thief, right?"

"Maybe then, otherwise why would you just steal girls' jewelry." Zhi Ai answered.

Xin Lifen turned to look at Zhi Ai, Zhi Ai nodded her forehead in response, Xin Yahui raised her head and drank the wine in the glass, her heart heaving.

"My mother left me a word before she left." Shi Yin lightly started another topic during this interval, and Mu Qiang looked over.

"She said that she is not like us, she can't stand the storm, and it is not certain when she will come back after this treatment. I hope we will not quarrel, and the family will live a good life as before." Speaking of this, she laughed, "Mom is here. It is not yet known who is more in the family."

Mu Qiang stared straight at her.

"But since it's my mother's wish, I have no reason not to do it. I just said that it will be the same as before, and the number of people is not right now..."

He didn't continue talking, but watched, watching the family's complexion change, Shi Yin was slowly shaking the teacup in his hand.

At this moment, Fancy came to the corridor on the second floor with the jewelry box containing the necklace, and said, "Miss, I found it."

Everyone looked up, Fancy showed the jewelry box, and the blood-red Anne's Tears necklace was lying in the silk satin.

"Where did you find it?"

"In Miss Xin's room." Fancy replied without hesitation, and Xin Yahui stood up abruptly.

"This isn't a real necklace, it's an imitation..." Halfway through the words, Shi Yin looked at her with her chin knocked, she frowned, and confessed awkwardly, "It's a counterfeit!"

"Then test it." Shi Yin's words were always light, Xin Yahui stared at her closely.

"Test." Mu Qiang said.

Shiyin laughed again.

"No need to check." Xin Lifen was the first to catch everyone before Fancy made a move. She dropped the knife and fork on the plate with two bangs, swiped the napkin to wipe the corners of her mouth, glanced at Mu Qiang, and then snorted and looked at Shiyin, "That's right." , learn well, let us go as we came."

"The fourth mother taught well."

Then Xin Lifen got up, this smart woman knew what kind of person Mu Qiang was, and she also clearly understood that Shiyin's backstage was strong, so she made a straightforward decision and walked to the second floor with a blank expression, followed closely by Xin Yahui.

Mu Qiang didn't do anything to stop him, the heavy rain was roaring outside the house, and the sound of angry high-heeled shoes passed by the corridor, Shi Yin looked back at the dining table, drank tea and nodded: "En, the number is right."

That night, Xin Lifen and Xin Yahui carried their luggage and moved out of the Mu residence.

Time has changed.

"Don't ask me anything?"

After Mu Qiang closed the study door and said the first sentence, Shi Yin sat on the swivel chair with his arms folded, listening quietly without opening his mouth.

The two were just like two years ago. He smoked a cigar, took a bottle of old port wine, closed the bottle when he poured it into the second wine glass, and whispered: "Oh, you quit."

"What do you want me to ask?" Shi Yin asked.

"The first time I saw them, I knew I could inspire you." He sat on the leather chair, "One month is the deadline I gave you in my heart, and you have completed it."

They refer to Xin's mother and daughter, it is Mu Qiang's ability to speak so calmly, Shi Yin slowly put his arms on the edge of the table, and looked at him across the table.

"So now, everything is under Dad's control?"

"Look at the divorce agreement for your mother. It's fake. I haven't signed it."

She smiled slowly: "I lost that agreement before reading it, and my mother never saw her again."

Mu Qiang looked at her eyes and said without hesitation: "You don't have to believe it, it's okay."

"No, Dad, I believe it."

As soon as the words came out, the two fell into a quiet psychological battle. Soon, she continued: "Is it really okay for Auntie Xin and Yahui to leave like this?"

"They are paid on time, and they come to perform."

"Oh." Shi Yin nodded knowingly.

After looking at each other for a long time, she said meaningfully: "My mother actually left me another sentence."

"Tell me."

"She told me that everything can't be done absolutely, because I never know when the person I've trampled on will stand up again." She looked into Mu Qiang's eyes, "And this seems to be Dad's biggest shortcoming. "

Mu Qiang took a puff of his cigar.

When the smoke was slowly released from his mouth and nose, Shi Yin changed his sitting position: "Mom still has feelings for you, and now she should be an important person to balance our family relationship."

"I'll book a plane ticket to accompany her tomorrow."

He is old-fashioned, and he gave a solution without Shiyin's explanation, and arranged the best shelter for herself. She reminded with a warning: "Then please be nice to Mom, Dad, she will be nice to you this month. ignorant of anything."

He continued to smoke his cigar and silently agreed.

When Shi Yin left the seat, he asked, "Don't live here anymore?"

"Don't stop."

Opening the study door, Zhi Ai was waiting outside, Shi Yin closed the door and walked out, Zhi Ai said to her side: "It's all packed."

"kindness."

When the two of them were far enough away from the study, Zhi Ai asked: "Do we really want to continue our relationship with Mu Qiang?"

There was no one around, Shiyin replied as he went down the stairs: "He knows my affairs too well, it is better to seal him than to step on him, the strictest way to seal him is to make him think that he and we are still the same country."

Her tone slowed down, and she continued: "Besides, Mom really has feelings for him. She treats her illness alone without us. I let him go. He treats Mom better, and it may be good for her condition."

"Then do you believe the words he argued in the study?"

"Do you believe it?"

"Do not believe."

"I believe half."

The two of them had already reached the living room, Yan Yusen was talking to Captain Mu Xi who had just returned home, when they saw Shi Yin walking down, the two men stopped talking.

"I'm fine." She said lightly.

The car drove all the way at night, drove to the airport, took the plane that night to the most prosperous city, got off the plane, and the special car was already waiting.

The driver was a middle-aged man, Yan Yusen called him Lao Li, and said to Shi Yin: "He will be responsible for your travel in the future."

"Miss Mu." Old Li opened the rear door.

Shiyin sat in.

Then it was another long journey, Zhi Ai fell asleep on her shoulders, and when the sky was bright, the destination was finally reached.

Surrounded by a quiet mountain forest, there is heavy fog in the early morning, and a hazy fairy air floats on the lake. Next to the lake, stands a unique Nordic-style villa.

She got out of the car, and Lao Li carried the luggage.

The villa Xi Wenle gave her was very luxurious, there were no neighbors around, and it was the only one standing by the lake, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with rich colors.It should be an elegant place to hide from the world on weekdays.

The people here have the same cold temperament as this villa, Lao Li is taciturn, and the two maids are tall and thin, they call her: "Miss."

Facing Zhi Ai, call: "Miss Zhi Ai."

"The house and people are yours, and the lake is yours too. You are the owner of this place." Yan Yusen accompanied her across the threshold.

The furniture in the living room is mostly made of carefully selected fabrics, complicated and delicate, comfortable and elegant, and it looks very quiet at first glance.The staircase advocates the charm of logs, and when you walk to the second floor, the layout and layout are more perfect.

"There are three master bedroom suites here, and this is Missy's bedroom." The maid opened the door for her.

Shiyin's room was facing the lake, with an open balcony and beautiful large curtains, but it was very humid in the early morning, and the maid closed the glass door of the balcony.

She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the carpet without saying a word. Yan Yusen stayed there, he still had something to say.

The maid brought a plate with two cups of tea, four keys, a mobile phone and a platinum card.

She was not in the mood to drink tea, Yan Yusen pointed to the key: "The silver one is for the house, you don't really need it, Alan and Ah Bing will take care of the house. The black one is for the car, not the one Lao Li used to pick you up , it’s the Lambo parked in the garage downstairs, if you can drive it, it’s yours. The third one is for Banshanju Villa. If you’re bored, you can go there with Zhi Ai. It’s not far, and turn up along the mountain road. It will be there in a quarter of an hour. The last key belongs to the yacht, you give it to Lao Li, and Lao Li will drive it, and the yacht is parked in this port in the sea behind the mountain."

Then, he turned his attention to the platinum card.

"You can buy whatever you want with this secondary card. The main card is him, and the limit is unlimited. There will be a special service for swiping the hotel and swiping the club. They will recognize this card. Zhi Ai's living expenses will be charged to the other card. She, she's going to college next month, right, and the tuition fee is included in it."

Shiyin sat back a little tiredly, without asking a single question.

Finally, Yan Yusen took the phone: "There are seven numbers in this phone, he, me, Lao Li, Li Zhi, the villa, your sister, and your mother's attending physician in the United States. He thinks your social circle is enough."

At this point, Shiyin looked up at him, and he stretched out his hands to ask her for something. The two confronted each other for five seconds, and she took her mobile phone from her bag and handed it to him without saying a word.

He was about to confiscate it, and she asked, "Can you just stop the original number and keep the contents of the phone?"

"can."

"Thank you."

The two showed their courtesy, Yan Yusen pulled out the SIM card, looked up at her, and gave her both the old and new phones.

"The bath water is ready, you can take a bath and rest, he will come to see you in two months."

He was about to leave, but stopped at the door: "There is one more thing he asked me to tell you. You are the only woman who stays by his side in this way. He has no other women, so don't think about it."

After Yan Yusen left, Shiyin was left alone sitting quietly in the cold air, she closed her eyes and smiled, full of bitterness and astringency.

What kind of house, what kind of people are locked.

3
The clothes room and shoe cabinet are full.The jewelry box is full.Freezers, lockers, and wine cellars are all full.

As soon as Xi Wenle made a move, the material conditions offered to her were close to saturation. The primary and secondary card relationship of the platinum card was the relationship between two people. She accepted it, and from now on she will be dependent on him.

Zhi Ai went to the university to report in less than a week, leaving her alone in the villa to wake up from morning to night, read books, and take a walk around the lake.

On the tenth day, she went to the bookstore in the city to buy a lot of tutorial books, and planned to make up for all the courses that had been left behind in the previous two years in these two months, in case of emergencies.

In half a month, she was familiar with the main streets of the city and adapted to the life of being taken care of by two maids.

In one month, she was able to drive down the mountain road alone, went to Houhai, and walked around the places where he had leisured.

Two months later, the weather turned slightly cooler, and universities across the country had already started school for one and a half months.

"Lao Li," Shi Yin went out and called him who was reading the newspaper on the lawn bench, "I'll go out and see me off."

Lao Li went to the garage to pick up the car. It was cold, so Alan came down and put on a suit jacket for Shi Yin: "Where are you going, Miss?"

She smiled lightly: "If you have a call, transfer it to my cell phone."

"Okay, so miss going out to eat or come back to eat tonight?"

"Will be back."

"it is good."

Lao Li drove the car, Shi Yin took his seat, put his handbag on his lap, and said, "Zhi'ai's school."

The car starts.

The weather has been gloomy today, and Zhi Ai went out without an umbrella, so Shi Yin simply went to pick her up from get out of class. On the way, she listened to music and flipped through books. .

Lao Li turned on the heater in the car.

Arriving at the school gate, after sending a text message to Zhi Ai, he continued to read the book on his lap. After waiting for a while, Lao Li got out of the car and opened the door. Zhi Ai sat in, and a puff of moisture was brought into the car.

"Sister, go around the road on the east side, I'm going to buy something."

When Zhi Ai said that, Lao Li had already listened to it. He turned around familiarly, and Shi Yin turned a page of the book and continued to read.

The sound of the rain hitting the glass gradually became louder. She was tired from reading, so she cast a glance out of the window, and there happened to be a school standing in the rain before her eyes.

"stop."

When Lao Li braked, Shiyin quietly looked through the car window at the majestic main entrance of the school on the opposite side of the avenue. On the top of the main entrance were chiseled four words in vermilion: Mingyu University.

Invisibly, there is such a suffix: the head office.

Zhi Ai was admitted to the branch campus of this university located in this city. She almost forgot that the gate of the main campus is only two streets away from the gate of the branch campus. This is a prestigious century-old school.

This is his school.

The thickness of the building is completely different, the typical British red brick style, the gate is twice as large as the campus, and the towering minaret has been smeared with a strong sense of history by the rain. It is solemn and solemn.

The windows of the car were gradually covered with mist, the mist mixed with water droplets, and the vision became hazy. This school has not yet finished class, and this school has a shrunken Vanity Fair, and it seems to feel the inside even outside the main entrance The surging undercurrent.

Shi Yin gently closed his eyes in the car.

This is where you can get the most out of him.

"Miss." Lao Li didn't know when he answered the phone, he looked at Shiyin in a trance from the rearview mirror, and called her.

Shi Yin opened his eyes.

"Master is back."

Xi Wenle's return was not to return to the villa, but to return to the country. He only called Lao Li, and then Lao Li sent Shiyin back to the villa, where Li Zhi was already waiting.

Except for Butler Li, probably no one knew what Xi Wenle was going to do, but Li Zhi didn't say anything, she just waited for Shi Yin to change her clothes, took her into the car, and sent her to the door of a high-star hotel.

On the way, the two of them didn't speak. Shi Yin was wearing a pure white embroidered dress, sunglasses, and her long hair hanging down her shoulders. She looked much better than she did two months ago.

Before getting off the car, Li Zhi gave her the room card.

Shi Yin's heart fluctuated slightly, no wonder he didn't say anything just now, most of what he said was sarcasm, she received the room card, Li Zhi reminded: "8102 Presidential Suite."
