In a trance, Xu Yuchu felt the warmth of her whole body hit her head. She closed her mouth and yawned lazily. She was sleepy again.
"Want to sleep?" The man's voice with intoxicating ambiguity, listen in the ear is a burst of numbness. Just about to nod, an idea dully raised his head, Xu Yuchu reluctantly opened his eyelids and gently pulled Xiao Chen's sleeve.
"The old Shen that my parents just said is..."
Xiao Chen understood and covered her with the blanket again. He told her in her ear.
The Xiao family has always had the tradition of having a family dinner on New Year's Eve. As the Xiao family grew stronger, the low-key Xiao's father stopped entertaining all his close relatives and distant relatives, and instead invited close relatives and friends to a small banquet.
"Well Will Zhan Jin, Ru Ning and monkeys all come? " Xu Yuchu asked.
"Not necessarily." Xiao Chen turns the ring on Xu Yuchu's ring finger and answers. "Shen Yezhong, senior colonel Shen, is the most capable subordinate of his father. He has been following him since his father was a lieutenant colonel."
Shen Yezhong
Xu Yuchu chewed the name twice.
"How is he?"
Xiao Chen's eyes coagulated for a moment.
"He and his father go through life and death, it's a life-long friendship." He said faintly, with an imperceptible chill in his tone. "But I I can't see through him. "
Since what happened to He Xiao, Xiao Chen has to admit that, except for Xu Yuchu and others, he is secretly vigilant to other people who have or are relatively close to him.
"Why are you talking about Lao Shen?"
Xiao Guojian's voice came from the door of the restaurant. Xiao Chen raised his head, Xu Yuchu also slightly sat up straight body.
Xiao's father went to the fireplace, picked the burning fine charcoal with a lead pestle, made the fire more vigorous, and went back to the sofa to sit down. Taking off his sweater, he was wearing a white, ironed shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his Caramel colored, well-defined forearm.
Xu Yuchu has always respected him. Seeing him and Xiao Chen sitting together, he can't help secretly comparing them.
Although Xiao Guojian is not as tall as Xiao Chen, he looks stronger than Xiao Chen. His facial features are more meaningful than Xiao Chen's pure male facial features. His thick eyebrows have a little upward curvature at the end, which is much softer than Xiao Chen's knife like eyebrows. His expression is not as cold as Xiao Chen's. His short hair, which is still hard and straight, has some silver color, but it doesn't affect his straight temperament.
Xu Yuchu's eyes turn from left to right. Xiao Chen looks in his eyes, and his hand is exerting force. Xu Yuchu almost doesn't cry out the pain.
She dropped her eyes speechless and pressed Xiao Chen's fingertips like punishment with her fingernails.
It's really
"After he's family had an accident at the beginning," Xiao Guojian took the teacup from housekeeper Qin and brushed it with his fingers. It seemed that he saw the past through the curling heat. "Some of my subordinates were transferred, some retired. Only Lao Shen followed me to today."
"At that time, he was just a company commander. Once in a military contest, he was very outstanding. I think he was tough and didn't talk much, so he was a little attentive to him.
Later, I recommended him to complete many tasks with me. That's it Until now. "
His eyes fell on Xiao Chen. Xu Yu first saw that the sight became sharp, she found that father and son's temperament is so similar, that is to belong to the military temperament, belong to the superior momentum.
"Although Lao Shen has a bit of a strong temper, he is tough enough and has a strong endurance. He has always been very steady. After so many years, he has not been promoted fast and steadily. He has no ambition and is not a competitive person. " Xiao Guojian rubs his chin and stares at Xiao Chen without moving his sight.
"You doubt him?"
"Strictly speaking, I doubt everyone around me." Xiao Chen thought quickly for a moment, "at the wedding, my people pulled out a lot of nails. These people have different skin colors, different nationalities, different identities for camouflage, and the origin of their guns is unknown, so they can't find common ground. But they can all get into the wedding scene at the same time. In my opinion, it's not just the little people, or even more than one, who can show them the way. "
Xu Yuchu listens to Xiao Chen's words in a flat tone, and thinks of all the reactions and behaviors Xiao Chen should have as a bridegroom on the wedding day. He suddenly feels cold on his back.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Chen acutely felt that the muscles under his palm contracted. "Cold?"
Xu Yuchu shook his head.
Xiao Chen stares at her for a while, see her long hair cover her expression, some doubt ground wring to wring eyebrow, still continued to say.
"Fortunately, I had prepared in advance and asked my people to check carefully before pulling out all these nails." Xiao Chen's tone a little more relaxed: "otherwise, I think I will cancel the wedding."
Xu Yuchu raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen who said this seriously.Yes No matter how many tricks Xiao Chen shows in front of other people, he never hesitates to express his true secret heart in front of her and the people he cherishes.
Such Xiao Chen It is impossible to use themselves as bait to "play" the role of "groom" at their wedding.
Xu Yuchu was ashamed of his small dark psychology a few seconds ago.
The tea in Xiao Guojian's hand didn't move, and the water mist from the mouth of the cup disappeared.
Housekeeper Qin came forward and changed a cup of hot tea for Xiao Fu.
"As you say..." Father Xiao narrowed his eyes and recalled the men and women sitting at the wedding that day. He held the teacup in his hand more and more solemnly, as if he could not feel the hot temperature at all.
"Lao Shen is really suspicious. But it's just speculation. Is there any evidence? "
"No Xiao Chen shook his head regretfully: "Jiang checked all his whereabouts in the past year, and found nothing unusual."
"What about his sons?" Xiao Guojian put the cup to his lips and sipped it slowly.
"Uncle Shen has three sons. Shen Congjian, the eldest son, is a professor at an Ivy League university in country m; Shen Congjian, the second son, is a senior engineer at an automobile manufacturer in country G. As for his youngest son, Shen Congrong, who just turned 20, dropped out of college and stayed at home. " Xiao Chen said, "I met the first two when I was studying. As for this little son, I only met him twice at the Party of the military headquarters."
Although I have seen it, in Xiao Chen's impression, it's just the image of a little boy.
"20 years old..." Xiao Guojian moved his finger and seemed to want a cigarette. He saw housekeeper Qin standing by, coughing and putting the cup on the coffee table.
"Just in time, I'll meet this young man at this little banquet."
