After wearing cannon fodder slag A, the sweet favorite heroine

Chapter 89

There is no light in the house.

The quilt tightly wrapped Shen Shu's whole body into a ball.

She huddled inside, as if this would give herself a little more sense of security and allow herself to escape from this world temporarily.

As long as she is withdrawn enough, she doesn't care about anything, doesn't care about anything.

Shen Shu clutched the quilt tightly, but at this moment she thought of Xu Jinman, and thought of Xu Jinman's injured expression in the elevator...

Shen Shu's heart throbbed in pain.

But she can't do anything at this time, she can't control her heart.

Her memory was recovering, and she saw the shadow of Shen Shu in the past, the shadow of Shen Shu who was enough to make her panic.

At that time, her surname was naturally not Shen.

The woman who sold her called her the last time, not by name, but by her nannie.

It is a nickname for the love of the elders for the younger generation in many places.

She doesn't remember that woman's face, or all her memories before she entered Shen's house, she doesn't want to remember.

Shen Shu tightly held the quilt in her palm, as if she could forget the moment when she was carried away from the rusty iron gate.

Iron slag hurts so much in the palm of your hand.

The appearance of the woman carrying the bag of money is so hateful.

The way those people threw her into the car, tied her hands and feet, and sealed her mouth was so terrifying.

Shen Shu couldn't help trembling when she thought of that courtyard house, that swing, and Xu Lian's vicious face.

She didn't want to think about it.

She knew that all of this had nothing to do with Xu Jinman, even Xu Jinman was also a victim of the Xu family.

But she felt uncomfortable.

It just hurts.

Xu Jinman's injured expression flashed through Shen Shu's mind again, and the pain was more like a fist made of needles hitting her heart.

Shen Shu buried her face in the pillow.

The rain outside the window was mixed with the wind, and it rang all night.

Xu Jinman didn't know what time she went to bed. When she woke up, it was dark outside and it was raining. It was past nine o'clock.

The phone never rang.

She picked up the phone, only to find that it was not charged last night, and the phone is now turned off.

Feeling dizzy, she charged her phone and walked out of the room.

There was silence in the room, except for her footsteps and the sound of the rain outside, there was no other movement.

She glanced in the direction of the master bedroom next to her, and the door was open.

She didn't go over, but she knew that Shen Shu had left only when she saw the key taken from the entrance.

Xu Jinman went to the bathroom, splashed cold water on his face, and his drowsy head just woke up a lot.

Water stains dripped from her browbones into the corners of her eyes, and Xu Jinman blinked at the mirror for a moment, like tears streaming down her face.

Maybe she felt that such an expression was too depressing, Xu Jinman reached out to wipe off the water stains on her face, she stared at it for a few seconds, then turned and went back.

She knew that Shen Shu needed time.

No matter who encounters such a thing, it will take time.

...

Turning on the phone, the messages really poured out one after another.

Xu Jinman's gaze was staggered to the top of the quiet one, to deal with the company's urgent matters first, and then to look at the others.

She clicked on Lu Yun's message.

Lu Yun made a phone call yesterday, but she didn't answer because she was really emotional. She just said something perfunctory on WeChat.

Later, Lu Yun sent her two more WeChat messages, but she didn't read them.

Lu Yun: [Your grandma called me and asked about Xu Tao and the company's money, so I just put it off. 】

Lu Yun: [The other side may call you again, and you will push it to me when the time comes, and I will handle it. 】

It is inevitable for the Xu family to make a phone call.

Xu Tao will send a sum of money to Xu's family every three months, and the amount is not small. She asked the financial accountant. In the past, she did not receive it twice because of delays, and Xu's family even called to urge.

It is enough to prove the importance of this money to the Xu family.

The person Li Lan sent to Qu Town has no clues yet, the Xu family is like an iron drum wrapped tightly, without any mistakes or omissions.

Business as usual.

Her purpose of cutting off the money was to interrupt this normality.

She wanted the Xu family to move from being static.

As long as she moved, Li Lan would have a chance to find clues. In addition, she also hoped that Li Laijia could get this signal - she is now the person in charge of the Xu family.

She hoped that Li Laijia could call her again.

Of course, the premise of these is that the Xu family cannot be suspicious now.

Therefore, Lu Yun is a very important part of it. Except for such a big change in the Xu family, there is no news of Xu Tao being hospitalized now, and the only person available to the Xu family is Lu Yun.

After all, in the eyes of the Xu family, Lu Yun was also one of them.

That's why she and Li Lan left Lu Yun behind.

It's the same as what Lu Yun said.

While still on the road, I received a call from an unknown person. It was a landline, and the calling address displayed on it was Qucheng.

Xu Jinman was too lazy to pick up the car.

That person made three calls in total, and when Xu Jinman arrived at the office, he changed his phone number this time.

Xu Jinman twitched her lips and turned on the loudspeaker.

There was Lu Yun monitoring in the office, which happened to make Lu Yun feel more at ease with her.

"Hey?!"

As soon as I heard it, I knew it was Xu Lian's voice.

There was coldness in Xu Jinman's eyes, and his voice was calm: "You idiot."

Xu Lian was furious: "Xu Jinman! How dare you scold me?!"

Xu Jinman: "Who are you?"

Xu Lian seemed to choke for a moment, gritted her teeth and said angrily, "I'm Xu Lian!"

"Oh...what's the matter?"

"Is there something wrong? Do you think there is something wrong? Didn't your father tell you when he handed over the company to you that he has to send a sum of money to his family every quarter?"

Xu Jinman said, "What money?"

"Don't do this! You are taking over the company now, if you didn't stop the finance, how would she dare?"

"is it?"

"Xu Jinman!" Xu Lian should also be able to hear her perfunctory: "I tell you, this money is a tribute to the family, understand? You should ask the accountant to transfer the money right now, otherwise..."

Xu Jinman laughed lowly.

This laughter interrupted Xu Lian's voice, but after a few words, she could no longer bear it.

She said coldly, "If I'm not mistaken, you're here to ask for money, right?"

Xu Lian: "What did you say?!"

"Beggars want money or kneel down and call me aunt, forget it?" Xu Jinman stared at the screen: "Are you playing around with your body fat?"

"you you!"

"Go away."

She was about to hang up the phone when she suddenly heard a deep and hoarse voice: "Manman, it's me."

Xu Jinman's eyelids moved slightly. She didn't remember this voice, but she knew who it was.

——The old lady of the Xu family.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Jinman sent a message to Lu Yun, briefly mentioning the call.

She was sitting on the chair, and Mrs. Xu was beside Xu Lian. She was not surprised, but it also showed that the money was more important than the Xu family.

She had a hunch that it wouldn't be long before the situation that was currently frozen was about to break open.

Just now, according to Lu Yun's wishes, she pushed everything over.

She thought that Lu Yun would call her soon.

Xu Jinman waited for half an hour for this process.

The time was not long, but Xu Jinman felt that it passed slowly. In fact, she felt that the whole day passed very slowly.

She knew that Shen Shu was on location today, and Tong Jia also said in the group that it would be late at night.

When hesitating whether to call Shen Shu, Lu Yun's call came.

"I thought you would blame me." Xu Jinman said proactively.

Lu Yun said: "Why? I know I hated the Xu family since I was a child. After all, those people treat you badly. Don't worry, as I said, your mother will support you no matter what you do."

Xu Jinman said, "What about grandma?"

Lu Yun paused: "She only has the Xu family in her heart, and has never had our mother and son. Why should we care about her? I couldn't help it before, but now that my daughter is promising, I don't have to be afraid of these people anymore. Manman, you are really Fight for mom! You don't know how happy I am now..."

Lu Yun spoke a little excitedly.

It was a pleasure to hear that.

Lu Yun said: "I have never heard the old lady talk to me in such a gentle tone, and I have never seen Xu Lian look so deflated. Manman, I am really happy."

Xu Jinman slowly diverted the topic away: "Don't be too optimistic. There are so many things in the Xu family, the marriage of close relatives, and the issue of keeping those children in captivity for the sake of senior differentiation... If it is really urgent, something happened over there, Xu Jinman Shi may also be involved."

"Don't worry." Lu Yun is very confident: "Except for Xu Tao, the Xu family has never been involved in the affairs of the Xu family. Even if there is something I don't know about, the old lady will not allow this. In the past, the Xu family was strong in the local area. , but now it’s not as good as every year, all thanks to Xu Tao who has been brainwashed to take care of him, the Xu family is no different from a meal card to the Xu family.”

She paused: "But what you said is true. You can't push too hard. Let's send the money in a few days. Send less and let them beg us."

Xu Jinman said calmly: "I just took office, and found that the company's books are actually quite messy. Recently, an audit has been arranged, so I have to wait for a while."

Lu Yun said that it's up to her, and it's okay to procrastinate a little bit, and the Xu family will let her handle it.

Xu Jinman didn't say anything more.

Instead, Lu Yun suddenly mentioned Shen Shu and asked, "Is your relationship with Shen Shu okay recently?"

"It's nothing, just asking. Manman, have you ever thought that in your current status, Shen Shu..."

The following words were interrupted by Xu Jinman: "Enough."

Lu Yun was stunned, and fell silent in astonishment.

That silence was probably because the docile man suddenly stretched out his claws!

"Okay, okay, mom just said it casually, and you won't say it if you are unhappy." Lu Yun said: "Anyway, you just need to understand that only your mother will never leave you in this world."

Xu Jinman hung up the phone.

There is only one way to tear Xu Jinman's peace, and that is to involve Shen Shu.

Xu Jinman was pinching the phone, and suddenly heard the sound of rain outside. At some point, the rain was so heavy.

She turned around, and the raindrops hit the glass like small bombs, blowing to pieces.

Finally disappeared with the wave.

Xu Jinman clicked on her phone and sent Shen Shu a WeChat message.

[Remember to eat lunch. 】

After sending the message, after waiting for a few minutes, Xu Jinman returned to his seat and started working.

In addition to those in my own company, there are also Xu's.

The news from the computer, the phone call from the client, the documents sent by vio, and the contract have not stopped.

Xu Jinman was busy until twelve o'clock, but when Vio came in to remind her that the food on the table was getting cold, she realized it was already so late.

Vio helped her warm up again, while Xu Jinman was waiting, she saw the news in the group.

It was Cai Ying and Tong Jia who were discussing Shen Shu's "Entering the Dream" event.

They are about to conduct their first roadshow promotion.

Xu Jinman logged on to Weibo, and she followed very few people. Xiaohong clicked on it, and she could see the Weibo information that Shen Shu forwarded an hour ago.

It is the promotional microblog of "Dream".

She went back to check WeChat again, and Shen Shu's profile picture was still silent.

The message still stays in the sentence she sent in the morning - remember to eat lunch.

She knew that at this time, it was the time when people were most likely to think too much. She forced herself not to think about the worst, but her mood was still like the dark weather outside the glass window.

So gloomy, so dark.

...

"I can finally sit down and rest, and drink some water."

Tong Jia handed the water glass to Shen Shu. "Are you hungry? I made this chicken breast and brought it with me this morning. You can try it."

From the morning to the present, because of the bad weather, the location was changed to the living area.

The light and everything have to be adjusted, and the actors in the opposite scene don't know what happened today, and there are deviations in each state.

So much so that the filming of the two scenes has not been finished until now.

Shen Shu sat in the temporary lounge, took a few sips of water and said, "Don't eat, where's my phone?"

Tong Jia handed it over.

"The Weibo post I posted for you just now received a very good response. I'm already looking forward to the broadcast."

Shen Shu's mind is not on these.

There are several WeChat messages on the screen in my hand, I don't know who sent them.

She opened it and saw a small red dot on Xu Jinman's profile picture with a light blue sky, her depression seemed to be relieved by some kind of relief, and it eased a little bit.

But the sour feeling started to emerge again.

Shen Shu clicked on WeChat.

That was a message from Xu Jinman in the morning.

Make her remember to eat.

...

Xu Jinman didn't see the reply until after the meeting.

It was already past four in the afternoon.

Shen Shu replied two.

--【it is good】

--【The same to you. 】

It was obviously the same news as usual, Xu Jinman looked at it, and felt that the tone was a little strange.

She decomposes this emotion rationally—these are the coherent thoughts generated after her emotions are affected.Actually it was no different than usual.

Xu Jinman tried his best to calm himself and not to think deeply.

Shen Shu just needs a little time, and she will be fine after these two days.

can return to normal life.

Will do.

Xu Jinman drove back to Star City alone, opened the door and walked into the house. Standing at the door and looking inside, it was a dark living room.

I don't know if it's because I didn't eat at noon. I'm a little tired and I don't have much energy.

After taking a simple shower, I didn't eat two bites of a bowl of egg noodles.

Stay on the sofa until nine o'clock.

He called Shen Shu but couldn't get through, and then called Tong Jia.

"Oh my God, I'm sorry Mr. Xu, I'm a bit busy here today, Shushu asked me to call you, but I forgot." Tong Jia said: "It's not over yet, it might be two or three o'clock, We are staying at a nearby hotel today."

"Ah."

Xu Jinman whispered, "Let her eat."

"You two have a good understanding! She also asked me to tell you to remind you to eat."

Xu Jinman was silent and responded.

She didn't feel very good, the fatigue of her body just now had disappeared, followed by a slight increase in body heat.

Xu Jinman soon realized that it was a symptom before the restlessness period, she went back to the room and took an AOH inhibitor with a green needle from her bag.

Recently, I haven't had much stress disorder, but the restless period has been affected and become irregular.

Just like Shen Shu's disordered fever period.

Xu Jinman took a deep breath when the needle was pierced into the skin. After the injection, he put the lid back on and put it back into the box before throwing it into the trash can.

Xu Jinman lay back on the bed, because he didn't sleep well yesterday, and he was given an inhibitor, so he fell asleep quickly.

It's just that the dream is not very realistic.

She dreamed that Shen Shu was standing in front of her crying, her beautiful peach eyes were full of tears, she reached out to wipe her clean, but Shen Shu avoided it.

When her heart ached and panicked, she found herself hugging Shen Shu.

She hugged her hard, and Shen Shu trembled in her arms.

So her movements became much softer, Shen Shu was still trembling, she could only kiss her, kiss her carefully.

When she woke up, Xu Jinman was covered in sweat.

The bottom is even more ridiculous.

After taking a shower and changing her underwear, Xu Jinman looked at the time, at 8 o'clock, it was almost time to go to work.

Before leaving, I sent Shen Shu a good morning.

Shen Shu also said good morning.

For three days in a row, Shen Shu stayed in the hotel arranged by the crew because of the location filming and the night scene.

The chat history has changed from daily life to only good morning, dinner, and good night.

Xu Jinman's mood was very low. On the fourth day, Tong Jia said in the group that Shen Shu had to work overtime at night. Besides, they were going to Lincheng tonight, so she forced herself to focus on work.

There was no rush to go back after get off work.

To be precise, she went back very late these days.

She didn't know that Shen Shu went back before going to Lincheng for the road show.

...

The lights are on.

The darkness of the living room was instantly lit up, Shen Shu didn't take off her coat, she only changed into her slippers.

The room was very quiet, and the sound of her footsteps seemed lonely in the silence.

Shen Shu walked into the bedroom, took a few sets of clothes for a change, and looked towards the balcony.

The rose flowers on the balcony have already bloomed and are waiting for the next bloom. Xu Jinman should come to water the green radish in the morning, because there is a lot of water in the basin.

When she walked to the door of Xu Jinman's bedroom, she had already smelled the special good smell from that person, and Shen Shu's nose was sore.

The curtain was half drawn, and Shen Shu slightly closed the white layer inside.

Then she turned around and sat down beside Xu Jinman's bed.

Her palm was pressed against the soft quilt, her fingers moved unconsciously, and Shen Shu's eyes suddenly stopped at the trash can beside her.

Xu Jinman has very little trash, and the trash cans are often empty for several days.

At this time, there was a green outer packaging box lying quietly inside, and Shen Shu recognized that it was the inhibitor Xu Jinman used.

AOH.

I thought it was weird at the time, and I searched online, but I couldn't find any information.

Xu Jinman said that it was still in the trial period, especially for her situation.

No more questions.

Shen Shu stayed there for a few minutes and then got up. After going out, she opened the refrigerator and took a look. What was in it was like when she left, and it is still like now.

Has Xu Jinman not eaten at home these days?

Or...didn't eat well?

The things on the Peninsula, except for the hot water kettle, seem to have not been used for a few days.

Shen Shu opened the cover of the coffee table, but there was less bread inside.

Xu Jinman slept on the massage chair in the office all night.

I was sweating, so I decided to go home and take a shower before catching up on sleep.

The moment she opened the door, she knew that Shen Shu had returned.

Because when she went out yesterday morning, she put a grape-flavored candy at the entrance.

Now that candy is gone.

Xu Jinman's heart moved slightly, he walked into the room, took a look in the room, and then saw the dishes on the table.

One sweet and sour pork ribs, one fried meat with potato slices.

There is also a post-it note on the side.

The font is beautiful, and it says - finished eating.

It takes more than two hours to drive from Lincheng to Beicheng. Xu Jinman didn't contact her before she went. The road show unit didn't let her in at first, but finally found out that the sponsor was Xu's collaborator.

As soon as the phone call was made, the person from the investment road show came out to pick her up in person.

She was not polite, and asked Shen Shu's backstage room directly, looking for it.

She can't wait any longer.

The backstage of the preparation for the road show is not big, and there are not many rooms. Xu Jinman soon saw Shen Shu's name written on the sign in front.

She was about to walk over, and the next second, the door opened from the inside.

Shen Shu and Tong Jia came out from inside...

The moment Shen Shu saw Xu Jinman, her curly eyelashes fluttered slightly.

At this time, a staff member shouted from the side——

"Mr. Shen, there are still 7 minutes to get ready to play."

Xu Jinman came in through a special passage, close to the backstage, so the place Shen Shu is going now is in the same direction as her.

Shen Shu was wearing a short green skirt that covered half of her thighs. She stepped on high heels and walked towards Xu Jinman, but Xu Jinman didn't move a step.

Shen Shu walked up to her, and the two looked at each other. After a few seconds, Shen Shu's calm voice sounded: "I'm going to get ready."

Xu Jinman nodded: "Well, let's go."

She paused: "I'll wait for you here."

Shen Shu looked at her and responded.

Tong Jia winked at Xu Jinman, and gave a thumbs up by the way: "Mr. Xu, please sit in our lounge for a while."

Xu Jinman pulled his lower lip and nodded.

Seeing the group of people walking away, Xu Jinman walked slowly to the lounge. The place is not big and there is a dressing table.

Close the door and just sit down on the chair.

Suddenly, the door opened from the outside——

Shen Shu stepped on her high heels and ran in from the door.

The movement is fast, when you go to hug Xu Jinman, it's more like jumping on it.

Xu Jinman also stood up almost at the same time, and caught Shen Shu, because of the jumping movement, her hands were in the lower position.

She simply held him up to her waist with both hands.

"Xu Jinman, I miss you very much." Shen Shu said.

Xu Jinman turned her head to kiss, her voice was unsteady: "Me too."
