I'm so poor, I pretend

The two were talking and laughing, when Shu Jiabao raised his eyes, he saw Shen Pei looking towards them again not far away.

It seems to be dissatisfied with Shen Yi's behavior of suddenly disappearing in the middle of speaking.

The words "Golden Turtle Son-in-law" that Shen Yi said just now echoed in her ears, so she pretended to inadvertently raise her hand, revealing that the million-dollar watch on her wrist was facing Shen Pei who was walking towards her, and said slowly: "Let me see, what time is it?"

Seeing this behavior, she turned her face away calmly, and just wanted to pretend that she didn't know her.

Shu Jiabao's watch is really not the kind of low-key connotation that makes people unable to see "this watch is very valuable".

This watch was one of the gifts her family gave her on her birthday. Because the family didn't know her preferences, they chose the most luxurious one. There were a few embellished gemstones on the dial. Once exposed, even people who don't understand watches can feel its value.

Sure enough, Shen Pei's eyes were immediately attracted by this watch, but he is an elder, and he is also today's birthday star, so no matter how much he thinks in his heart, he will not show it too clearly.

He just glanced at Shu Jiabao's wrist without any trace, and then focused on his daughter——

"Shen Yi, why didn't I see your people in a blink of an eye just now? When people ask me where your law firm is, I can't answer. Come with me quickly."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but grab the wrist of the other party.

With this grasp, Shen Yi only felt that Shen Pei's palm was a little rough and very warm. A man's palm was different from a woman's. She was startled, her expression suddenly a little dazed.

At least from her entire childhood to adolescence, the role of "father" has been absent, and coupled with the awakening of her sexual orientation after adulthood, it is even more impossible for her to have excessive physical contact with men... So today, it is still a headache. Once.

But she quickly withdrew her hand and did not plan to leave with the other party.

"Father." Shen Yi said, and stopped the man whose temples were already turning gray.

The years have left obvious marks on this man's face, including wrinkles and gray hair. If you compare Ms. Xu Yun with the person in front of you, it's hard to imagine that they are the same age.

"I don't like such occasions, and I just came here today to celebrate your birthday." When Shen Yi spoke, her beautiful eyes didn't change much, even without curvature, and the indifferent way of talking didn't seem to have something to do with herself. The father of the blood relationship speaks.

Shu Jiabao had seen the appearance of the other party and Ms. Xu Yun getting close naturally, so he knew this in his heart.

She was just a little curious about the relationship between the father and daughter.

While she was distracted for a while, Shen Yi also took out a bank card from her bag, and handed it to Shen Pei: "Happy birthday to you, every year has this year."

It was just a small bank card, but Shen Pei couldn't take his eyes off it.

He reached out to take the bank card and silently put it in his pocket without asking how much money was in it.

But he must be clear about the character of his daughter.

If Shen Yi makes a move, there will only be more money in it, not less.

Seeing that he had already accepted his card, Shen Yi withdrew his hand, and was about to take Shu Jiabao away, when Shen Pei spoke again: "Wait..."

"You have brought your friends here, let's have a meal before leaving, the table will start in a while."

Shen Pei glanced at Shu Jiabao, and suggested to his daughter: "You young people are about the same age, so you should have a lot of topics to talk about. As a big sister, you know a lot of people, so you should also take your younger brother with you."

The man spoke earnestly, as if he wanted to promote the relationship between Shen Yi and this younger brother.

But the way he showed it was very utilitarian, even Shu Jiabao, who was standing by, felt that the father was too partial, only considering his son, let alone Shen Yi, the person involved.

Before Shen Yi could answer, he continued: "By the way, have you met your brother?"

"Jiacheng is welcoming guests at the entrance of the hotel, you should have seen it when you came in."

When Shen Jiacheng was mentioned, Shen Yi's attitude really changed.

"I saw it, but I'm not familiar with him, and I have nothing to say."

"If you want to help your son, you should not find me."

Having said this, Shen Yi's eyes were filled with coldness.

She was not in the mood to deal with Shen Pei here anymore, but she would not yell at her, she just dragged Shu Jiabao away from this place of right and wrong, leaving Shen Pei standing where she was, very dissatisfied.

Coming out of the hotel gate, Shen Yi saw Shen Jiacheng again.

The other party was still standing at the welcoming position at the door, and treated every guest who came to congratulate him very politely. When Shen Yi came out, he also glanced at her, but did not say hello. do not agree.

The two siblings didn't like each other, Shen Pei was the only one struggling to get involved.

Shu Jiabao followed Shen Yi, and the two went all the way down to the parking lot.

Walking all the way to the parked car, Shen Yi suddenly stopped, bent over slightly, and stretched out his hands to support his knees, looking very tired.

This exhaustion, of course, does not refer to being tired after walking two steps, but refers to mental exhaustion.

Such a scene fell in Shu Jiabao's eyes, and she couldn't help but start to worry, she had never seen him like this before.

"Sister Shen Yi..."

"Are you OK?"

"I'm fine, I just haven't recovered a bit." Shen Yi shook his head, and slowly straightened up, "I haven't seen him for two years, I didn't expect him to change at all."

Her tone of voice was a little angry, and her mood fluctuated a bit.

"It doesn't matter. After meeting this time, we will disappear from now on." After hearing this, Shu Jiabao pursed her lips, and she stepped forward to take the other's hands and pulled him over to gently hold the other's face, "Anyway, now I am the family member who can’t look up and see down.”

"We don't see anyone we don't want to see."

Shu Jiabao deliberately softened his voice, trying to appease the person in front of him.

In fact, it did have a soothing effect on Shen Yi, at least... Looking at the person in front of him, Shen Yi suddenly felt that today was not so bad.

When her parents divorced, she was only four years old. At that time, her family still lived in the teacher's apartment inside the attached middle school. Their family had their own house outside.

It was later that the school saw that their mother and daughter were too pitiful, so they made an exception and moved a place in the teacher's apartment, so they had a place to live in - Shen Yi only knew these things when he grew up.

This is also the reason why Xu Yun was willing to stay in the attached middle school to teach, and no one else could dig it away.

In the thousand-year record of winning people's kindness, Xu Yun did it herself, and taught Shen Yi in the same way.

After being comforted by Shu Jiabao, Shen Yi felt that the depression in her heart had dissipated a lot. She lowered her head and took out the car keys from her bag to unlock the car.

At this moment, Shu Jiabao's body froze suddenly.

"Wait, sister Shen Yi." Shu Jiabao said suddenly, stretched out his tongue and licked his somewhat dry lips, staring straight at the place behind Shen Yi without blinking, as if he saw something extraordinary s things.

Even his throat rolled twice because of the tension.

"The one standing behind looks like your mother." After a few seconds, she spoke with difficulty.

Such a message made Shen Yi's whole body stop.

"My mother?" Shen Yi turned her head, only to see Ms. Xu Yun standing there in a parking space next door.

There was a flash of panic on her face, and then she quickly returned to calm.

I saw Shen Yi calmly approaching the other party.

"Mom, why are you here?"

"Didn't I tell you not to come? Why are you still here?"

"What does his birthday matter to you?"

In the quiet parking lot, Shen Yi's voice was very abrupt, and there were three questions in a row, making it hard to know which one to answer first.

"Your father kindly invited me. If I don't come, it will appear that I am a bit stingy. I have been divorced for so many years, do you still remember what happened back then?" Asked this by her daughter, Xu Yun recovered from the conversation she had just heard. Come.

Xu Yun's voice was just like hers, gentle as water, as if no matter what happened, she would not hold grudges in her heart.

But it doesn't mean that Shen Yi, who is a daughter, is the same.

"He's really shameless." Shen Yi laughed angrily when she heard that her mother was "invited" to come.

She didn't expect Shen Pei to have such a trick.

But Ms. Xu Yun didn't seem to want to entangle Shen Yi too much on this topic, she turned her head and looked not far behind Shen Yi.

"That one over there... is Xiao Shu, right?"

Not far away, Shu Jiabao was standing there awkwardly, with a worried look on his face.

Shu Jiabao was really worried.

Although she didn't do anything with Shen Yi just now, what they said was very directional. It would be fine if Xu Yun didn't hear it, but if the other party did...

Just thinking of such a possibility made Shu Jiabao feel chills down his back.

She was not afraid of coming out, but she was afraid of being suddenly opened the door without any preparation.

She didn't know how much trouble this would cause Shen Yi.

Shen Yi followed his mother's line of sight and looked over: "It's her."

"You brought her here for your father's birthday. I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship." The distance was so far, and the parking lot was dimly lit, so Xu Yun couldn't see the expression on Shu Jiabao's face at all.

After taking a look, she quickly retracted her gaze and stared at the daughter in front of her with a smile.

I don't know if it's his own illusion, but Shen Yi always feels that there is something hidden in this look.

Startled, she unconsciously squeezed the hand hanging by her side, but quickly let go.

Regardless of whether her mother heard it or not, the most important thing now is not to show abnormalities.

So she relaxed her facial expression, and took the words very naturally: "She has a lawsuit recently and I am helping her, so we will meet often."

For work matters, it is normal to meet each other.

It's just that after Xu Yun finished listening, she still kept that smile on her face, and she didn't say anything.

Just when Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something to end the topic, Xu Yun suddenly spoke.

She raised her eyes, looked into Shen Yi's eyes and asked directly: "I just heard something from you... So, is she living in your house now?"
