After wearing the magic stick little white flower soul

Chapter 52

Imperial City, Ying Family Mansion.

After Ying Sheng sobered up, he finished what he promised Ying Lv, Ying Yan, and Yang Xianhan earlier.

As expected by Ying Sheng, Mr. Ying called her to the old house as soon as he got the news.

Mr. Ying is nostalgic, and the house he lives in is still the big courtyard he bought when he was young, but it has been renovated over the years. Although it is an old courtyard, it looks extraordinarily magnificent. Unique.

Walking through the yard, the branches and leaves of the big trees planted in the yard are covered with thick white snow, which occasionally falls and falls on people's shoulders.

Ying Sheng met Ying Yan before entering the house, and a servant bent over to wipe the soles of their shoes. Ying Yan sat on the cushion beside her, with a slight smile in her eyes, looking at her own with unknown meaning. cousin.

Ying Sheng glanced at Ying Yan lightly, without saying a word, raised his hand to take the rag from the maid's hand, and wiped his shoes by himself.

The old housekeeper of the big mansion led Ying Sheng to the old man's study, while Ying Yan stayed in the hall and waited. Obviously the old man wanted to have a private talk with Ying Sheng first, but he called Ying Yan together.

"The old man has not been in a good mood for the past two days, and he didn't eat breakfast today, and he was very angry at what the eldest lady did." The old housekeeper said with a smile on his face, as if to remind Ying Sheng of something.

The old housekeeper has been with Mr. Ying for more than [-] years, and he has already figured out the old man's temperament. He knows who is the heir most in Mr. Ying's heart, and when he talks to Ying Sheng, he is somewhat flattering. .

After sending Ying Sheng across the threshold of the study, the old housekeeper closed the door behind him and retreated.

At this moment, Mr. Ying was sitting at the table, holding a Zihao pen in his hand, writing and drawing on the snow-white rice paper with his brows furrowed.

"Grandpa." Ying Sheng stood on the open space in front of the table, and called out to Mr. Ying in a cold voice.

Mr. Ying naturally knew that Ying Sheng was coming, but he ignored Ying Sheng and wrote his own.

Ying Sheng knew that Mr. Ying was very angry with her actions. She managed to win over the overseas payment software development project from Mr. Ying, and now it was just a start. Before any achievements were made, she would hand it over to Ying Yan. Mr. Ying couldn't figure out Ying Sheng's thoughts, so he was naturally uncomfortable. What made him even more displeased was that Ying Sheng didn't discuss with him, an old man, before making a decision. To put it more seriously, it was contempt for his dignity within the group.

"Ah Yan is also from the Ying family, so there's nothing wrong with leaving it to her." Ying Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at the grim-faced Mr. Ying, knowing why he was angry, and immediately explained, "Ah Yan is against me everywhere in the group for this project. Even if I don't tell you about these things, you should have heard about them, grandpa. Of course, I'm not afraid of her causing trouble, and I can even easily solve the troubles she caused .”

Old Master Ying paused when he heard the words, and looked at Ying Sheng with those sharp eagle eyes, which were full of unpredictable meaning.

"Since you can easily solve the trouble that Yan created for you, why do you want to hand over the project?"

"This project is important to you, Grandpa. I won't mess it up, and neither will Ah Yan."

There was no emotion in Ying Sheng's eyes, she couldn't see through what Mr. Ying was thinking, but Mr. Ying might not be able to see through what she was thinking.

"Ever since I knew that I was a descendant of the Ying family, I never thought about shrinking back. I know that Ying Li, Ying Yan and even Ying Chen, they all grew up under your noses, and they were cultivated by you. I am an illegitimate daughter who was raised outside, they don't believe that I am better than them, this is human nature, even you, you are not convinced in your heart."

Old Master Ying didn't interrupt Ying Sheng's words, but completely put down the Zihao brush in his hand, and he could roughly guess Ying Sheng's intentions.

"I want them to be convinced."

When Ying Sheng said this, her eyes were sharp, her back was straight, with an undeniable majesty, she stood in the open space of the study, even if she was facing someone like Mr. Ying, she was neither humble nor overbearing.

The smell of agarwood burning in the room lingered at the tip of the nose, and the original anger and displeasure of the old man disappeared completely.

He didn't expect that one of his most proud and favorite grandchildren would be the illegitimate daughter of the family who was found halfway through.

Ying Sheng is quite resourceful and has her own way of handling things. She has the same ambition as when she was young, even worse.

Smart people don't have to speak too bluntly. After Mr. Ying understood Ying Sheng's meaning, he no longer had the idea of ​​embarrassing her and scolding her.

"Forget it, now is the time for you young people to work hard. I'm old, and I should retire and enjoy life in peace." Mr. Ying looked like he was convincing himself of his old age and was saying despondent words, but he was actually very energetic and in a good mood.

The Ying family has such an ambitious junior as Ying Sheng, Mr. Ying likes it.

Ying Sheng smiled and didn't say much. She remembered what the old butler said before she entered the study door, but she didn't mention a single word.

When people are old, they tend to be suspicious. She can have her own ambitions, but she must never let the old man feel that she disrespects him. The old housekeeper's reminder is kind, but it would be inappropriate for her to say it in front of the old man.

After all, the old housekeeper is someone close to the old man, Ying Sheng can't let the old man feel that everyone around him is looking towards her.

Otherwise, even if the old man intends to cultivate her, he will have to be afraid at this time.

After all, she is not a child brought up by Ying's parents. The old man appreciates her, but how can he trust her?

Ying Sheng has lived in Ying's family for five years. It is not difficult to know that the old man has two bottom lines that he is determined not to touch. One is his face and dignity, and the other is the interests of Ying's group. He turns a blind eye and closes his eyes when he does not do things that are harmful to the group. In his view, this kind of competition is benign. Without competition, there will be no progress. He even encourages his children and grandchildren to fight and fight. Only by catching up behind can we maintain a positive state of moving forward and not lag behind others.

After Ying Sheng walked out of the old man's study, Ying Yan came to find him.

"What did you tell Grandpa?"

Ying Yan extended her arms to block Ying Sheng, her blue eyes added a bit of mystery to her.

"Worried about me telling you about your collusion with Ying Lu Yang Xianhan?" Ying Sheng stopped where he was, his eyebrows raised slightly.

Ying Yan smiled nonchalantly, she has already won the biggest project in Ying Sheng's hands, she has the capital to be proud.

"Grandpa told me to come over, so I won't delay your return home." After Ying Yan finished speaking, she went to the study without walking briskly.

Ying Sheng looked at Ying Yan's back, his eyes darkened, but he returned to normal after a while, and left the Ying's mansion.

**

In an elegant cafe, Gu Shizhou and Jian Nina sat face to face.

Gu Shizhou doesn't like coffee, so she ordered a cup of light green fruit juice, pursed her lips and took two sips.

Jian Nina's expression looked much better, she had goals and things to do, and she was no longer as depressed and desperate as before.

"It's normal not to be able to find out. That person is hiding so deeply that even the Feng Shui Justice Department can't find out his whereabouts." Gu Shizhou knew that Jian Nina was anxious to find out the truth about An Lu's death, but it was useless to worry.

"Is there any other way, it doesn't matter how difficult it is, I am willing to do it."

Jian Nina's eyes are serious, all her hopes are poured into Gu Shizhou now, if the other party says no, then even if she tries her best to investigate, there may not be any results.

Gu Shizhou shook his head. If there was a way, she would do it without Jian Ni Na’s urging. This matter was not only about An Lu’s death, but also the spell on Ying Sheng’s body, and the death of Ying Sheng’s biological mother.

Gu Shizhou suspected that it was not convenient for the Ying family to tell Jian Nina, she was worried that Jian Nina would lose her composure.

Jian Nina is not calm enough, and she does not have enough status in the imperial city. If she touches the Ying family's affairs, she will most likely be the one who suffers.

"Well, if you have any news, please let me know as soon as possible."

Seeing that Gu Shizhou really didn't seem to have a solution, Jian Nina was somewhat disappointed and her voice was muffled.

Gu Shizhou seemed to have remembered something, took out a small gift box from his bag, and handed it to Jian Nina with a soft voice.

"Tonight is Christmas Eve, I bought you a small present."

A flash of surprise flashed in Jian Nina's eyes, as if she didn't expect that Gu Shizhou would prepare a gift for her, but she didn't buy anything for Gu Shizhou.

"The dead are dead, and the living should be like this. Although An Lu is no longer by your side, she must hope that you can live well."

Gu Shizhou said this to Jian Nina before leaving the coffee shop.

Jian Nina clutched the small gift box tightly, her nose felt a little sore.

She was so obsessed with An Lu that she went crazy. Not only did she ignore all the people who cared about her, but she also got into the corner of the horns and refused to come out. Later, Gu Shizhou helped her, and Gu Shizhou first rescued her by accident. She died, and then took her to see An Lu behind her death, and found that An Lu's death was not an ordinary accident.

It has been about 10 minutes since Gu Shizhou left the coffee shop. Jian Nina came back to her senses and opened the little peach pink gift box. Inside was a bracelet of a smiling snowman, and there was a small luminous light on the strap of the bracelet. The light will emit a dim light, which is very beautiful.

Not only Jian Ni Na received a gift from Gu Shizhou, but Fan Mao and Gu Shasha also received the same Christmas bracelet.

It's just that the characters on it are different. Gu Shasha's is a red and green reindeer, and Fan Mao's is a red and white Santa Claus head.

Ying Sheng didn't know that his daughter-in-law gave Christmas presents to so many people, but she was the only one who didn't.

Gu Shizhou even prepared one for Yu Xiaohuai, and planned to give it to Ying Sheng when she got home, so please pass it on to her.

On Christmas Eve, the Imperial City is extremely lively, especially at [-] o'clock at night. Most people who go to work at this time have a rest, and most of the people who have nothing to do go out to the largest shopping mall in the Imperial City, where there is a spontaneous Christmas Eve large-scale Outdoor activities.

And Ying Sheng was still busy in the company, Gu Shizhou didn't want to go to the square to participate in the activities by himself, so he waited for Ying Sheng at home.

What she didn't expect was that the house soon became lively.

Fan Mao was bored at home, so he ran to the villa to find his cousin. Ying Sheng was not there, and Gu Shizhou was busy with other things, so he played backgammon with Gu Shasha in the living room. Later, Yu Xiaohuai also came, Gu Shizhou Take the time to hand her the prepared gift box.

"I have it too?" Yu Xiaohuai took it with a smile, looking at Gu Shizhou with a very gentle and friendly look.

She didn't come empty-handed, she also brought gifts for Ying Sheng and Gu Shizhou, but she wasn't very familiar with the two people in the living room.

Gu Shizhou introduced Yu Xiaohuai one by one, and went to work in the yard again.

In the living room, there are drinks and desserts that Gu Shizhou ordered the maids to prepare for the guests. Yu Xiaohuai watched chess while eating.

Backgammon is not difficult. After Gu Shasha learned it, she crushed Fan Mao. Fan Mao knelt three times in a row, and his mentality burst instantly. Church apprentice, starve master'.

Gu Shasha glanced at the living room, and found that Gu Shizhou was not there, and she seemed to be busy outside. She decided to get up to see what Gu Shizhou was doing. Not only was she curious, but Fan Mao and Yu Xiaohuai were also the same, so the two fought together Qi went to the yard outside the villa.

At the same time, Ying Sheng remembered that today was Christmas Eve, so he also drove back to the villa.

It was snowing outside, and the white dots were scattered in the dark night with the wind. Ying Sheng was holding a square gift box in his hand. Startled, he stopped on the spot for a while without moving.

The snow in the yard of the house was shoveled up and made into snowmen. The expressions of the snowmen are all kinds of strange, but they are all smiling. Even palm-sized little snowmen are piled up on the courtyard wall. They are ice-white, round and short, and they are very attractive.

And Gu Shizhou was bending his waist slightly, his fair fingers blushing, and he was carefully laying on the last little snowman.

Seeing Ying Sheng with arms hanging by his side, standing blankly at the gate of the courtyard, Gu Shizhou smiled and raised the little snowman in his hand, and softly shouted 'Happy Christmas Eve' to her.

This scene happened to be seen by the three people who came out to look for Gu Shizhou, and they were also very surprised. It turned out that Gu Shizhou had been in the yard for several hours just to make snowmen, and now the snowmen in the yard are all made by her.

Ying Sheng walked slowly in front of Gu Shizhou, his eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

When Gu Shizhou was about to say something, Ying Cheng took Gu Shizhou's hand, feeling that her hands were too cold in the snow, and the touch was cold, she lowered her eyes to Gu Shizhou's palm, breathed a few warm breaths, and kissed again.

She looked at Gu Shizhou's clear and clean eyes, and her voice lowered unconsciously: "Christmas Eve gift?"

Hearing this, Gu Shizhou nodded lightly, this is her gift to Ying Sheng.

"I like it very much. I will order people to move them to the freezer for storage. There are not many of them."

Ying Cheng's eyes tenderly rubbed Gu Shizhou's head, feeling sorry for her for working so long in the snowy night.

She led Gu Shizhou into the villa with warm yellow light, and then Yu Xiaohuai and Fan Mao also walked in. Along the way, Yu Xiaohuai was amazed and kept telling Fan Mao how many snowmen there were in the yard. nice.

Gu Shasha was the last one to enter the house. She stood by the door, glanced at the snowmen all over the yard with cold eyes, and suddenly felt that the bracelet on her wrist was no longer fragrant.

Ying Sheng didn't seem to be surprised that Yu Xiaohuai and Fan Mao appeared in the villa, both of them couldn't sit still.

Fan Mao glanced at his cousin, and then at Gu Shizhou beside her, his eyes full of anticipation.

"So are you going or not? It's so boring to stay at home."

"I came here to ask Ah Cheng and Miss Gu to go out and have fun together." Yu Xiaohuai echoed.

Ying Sheng didn't speak, but looked softly at Gu Shizhou beside him, as if waiting for her to make up her mind.

Gu Shizhou thought for a while, and said to Yu Xiaohuai seriously with a small face: "Don't call me Miss Gu in the future, you are Ah Cheng's friend, that is, my friend."

Yu Xiaohuai is happy, this is a good thing, she also thinks that Ms. Gu is born.

"Then let's go to play together, but I want to bring someone else, can I?" Gu Shizhou asked.

"Who are you taking?" Fan Mao was curious. According to his understanding, the boss doesn't seem to have many friends around him, and these days he lives alone.

"I want to take Ni Na with me. She may be bored at home alone, so it's good to go out to relax."

"It turned out to be her, I think it's okay."

"One more person is more lively."

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Gu Shizhou leaned on Ying Sheng's shoulder and made a voice call to Jian Ni Na, but unfortunately he was rejected.

Gu Shizhou respects Jian Nina's choice, if she really doesn't want to go out, Gu Shizhou won't force her.

"Let's go, then let's go."

Gu Shizhou pulled Ying Sheng up, but Ying Sheng suddenly stuffed a square gift box into his hand.

"This is your gift, come back to see it tonight?" Ying Sheng said.

"What is it?" Gu Shizhou felt that the gift box didn't weigh much, and he didn't know what was inside.

"Look for yourself, I'll go upstairs to change clothes and then I'll come down." After Ying Sheng finished speaking, he went upstairs, leaving only a tall figure behind.

Gu Shizhou sat back on the sofa, carefully opened the velvet gift box Ying Sheng gave her, and saw a stack of documents and a top-quality feng shui cinnabar pen inside.

The document was a transfer agreement, and Gu Shizhou clearly remembered the name on the agreement. It was the Republic of China style restaurant they went to when they met Ying Lv. Ying Sheng bought this restaurant and gave it to her as a gift.

The best cinnabar pen is even more difficult to find. Gu Shizhou can't imagine how much effort Ying Sheng spent to find this pen.

Fan Mao and Yu Xiaohuai came together, and after seeing the transfer agreement, they were quite surprised. Yu Xiaohuai is an expert in eating, drinking and having fun. She knew the name of the restaurant, especially this kind of famous restaurant. more profound.

But that Fengshui cinnabar pen, neither Fan Mao nor Yu Xiaohuai knew what it was.

"By the way, Zhou Zhou, the present I prepared for you and Ah Cheng, you can read it when you come back in the evening." Yu Xiaohuai smiled, and talked about the gift he brought by the way.

"Okay." Gu Shizhou put the gift Ying Cheng gave her back into the gift box, and responded with a smile.

"Shizhou, I owe you your gift first. I have nothing to offer in China. I will supply it to you when I return to America. I will not let you down." Gu Shasha leaned on the edge of the sofa, wearing a The luminous bracelet is particularly eye-catching.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you have a gift or not." Gu Shizhou didn't care what other people gave her.

After Ying Sheng changed her clothes, she walked down the steps slowly. Ever since she appeared in the lobby, her eyes had been on Gu Shizhou.

Seeing her coming down, Gu Shizhou greeted her with a smile, lightly took Ying Sheng's arm, and the two leaned close to each other.

"Let's go, let's go, let me drive."

Yu Xiaohuai walked out of the villa first, drove his car over, and picked up a group of people.

**

The shopping center is full of majestic and tall buildings, the lighting design of the square is very technological, and there are many people playing around in the open space, screaming and laughing together, it is very lively.

Before getting off the car, Yu Xiaohuai took out a big box from the trunk of the car like a magic trick, which was full of red, white, blue bottles and cans, and she distributed these things to everyone one by one.

"What is this?" Gu Shizhou asked curiously.

"This is our 'weapon', and you will know what it is for later." Yu Xiaohuai smiled mysteriously.

For these housewives who haven't gone out for a hundred years, these things are certainly new, and for her, these props are commonplace.

Fan Mao had played it before, and he continued with a smile without saying a word, thinking that he would have a chance to avenge Ying Cheng's face being pinned in the snow later.

Except for Yu Xiaohuai who still had two cans stuffed in his pocket and carried a total of four cans of snow spray, the other person had two cans in his hand.

Gu Shizhou saw that the open space in front of him was almost full of young people, the atmosphere was infected unconsciously, and he smiled lightly.

Seeing that Gu Shizhou was happy and in a good mood, Ying Sheng put his arms around her shoulders, and slowly approached her earlobes with a pair of red lips.

"If you like it, I will often take you out to play in the future. There are many lively and interesting places in the Imperial City."

"Okay." Gu Shizhou responded with a smile. She wished that Ying Sheng would be less busy with business and relax more, so that work and rest could be combined.

The few people were quickly dispersed by the crowd. Gu Shizhou stood on tiptoe and looked not far away, and found a lot of people lined up at the door of a shop selling frosted hawthorn. She thought the taste should be good, and planned to buy a few packs to share For everyone to eat.

Ying Sheng followed Gu Shizhou's line of sight, and asked in a warm voice, "Want to eat hawthorn in frosting?"

"Before we go back, let's buy a few bags and share with everyone." Gu Shizhou looked at Ying Sheng, smiled and nodded, she really wanted to eat some.

"It's too late, the store may be closed, I'm going to buy it now."

As Ying Sheng said, he kissed Gu Shizhou on the forehead, and then took her to a place where there were not so many people, and asked her to wait where she was, to see the people showing off their dancing skills in the square, and it was not as long as queuing up. boring.

Gu Shizhou agreed and watched Ying Sheng go to the shop.

Not long after she was distracted, someone sprayed her neck and body indiscriminately with snow spray.

Gu Shizhou was shocked by the cold foam, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at the strangers in front of him who he didn't know at all.

Those who sprayed her were these few people, men and women, with kind smiles on their faces, but their movements were not restrained.
