I'm so poor, I pretend

On the way back to the car, the father and daughter looked at each other in silence. Although they were also sitting in the back seat, they did not have some relaxed communication and communication as usual. The atmosphere in the car seemed to be frozen suddenly by magic.

Shu Jiabao just turned his face sideways like this, staring at the flashing street scene outside the car window through the car window in a daze.

Colorful neon lights flashed in front of her eyes, like a fleeting rainbow.

Her head seemed to be muddled at the moment, she couldn't think of any solution, the only thing she could tell Shen Yi was to tell the other party not to worry, that she would not go back tonight.

Although the driver of the car didn't know exactly what happened, he still felt the weird atmosphere. He kept his mouth shut all the way, didn't even turn on the car stereo, and drove the car back to the destination in silence.

It took only half an hour to drive back to the Shu family's mansion from the dining place, but Shu Jiabao felt as if he had waited for a century.

When she came out of the garage, she found that it was raining lightly without knowing when.

The rain in the autumn night is not as hot and sultry as in summer, but the rain makes the night temperature drop a little, people wearing short sleeves and walking outside still feel chilly.

If you are staying at home with Shen Yi at this time, then the weather is very suitable for the two of you to open the window and watch a movie on the sofa, it will definitely be a wonderful night.

But now, Shu Jiabao is no longer in the mood to think about these things. What is waiting for her is the upcoming trial from the unknown parents.

Shu Minghao's steps forward were fast and a little anxious, which was enough to tell that he was not in a good mood.

Shu Jiabao just hung behind him not far or near, and followed him all the way into the living room of the main building.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you and Shen Yi." After entering the door, Shu Minghao threw his coat directly on the sofa, leaned back, and raised his chin slightly, looking at Shu Jiabao who had been following behind him. past.

From such an angle, Shu Jiabao is standing and he is sitting, it seems that he has lost the advantage of "condescending", but the aura is not even comparable to that of ten Shu Jiabaos.

Shu Minghao looked at the other party with a scrutinizing look, and there was no trace of fatherly kindness on his face.

This kind of scrutiny made Shu Jiabao a little out of breath.

She pursed her lips tightly, hung her head and said nothing, as if she hadn't figured out how to answer the other party's question.

"If you don't answer, I'll take what Mr. Xu said today as a joke, and you have nothing to do with it." Shu Minghao said, bent down and took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer under the coffee table and lit one. Then he stared at the other party for a moment, and said word by word, "It didn't happen before, and it won't happen in the future."

He originally quit smoking a long time ago, but from time to time, people would come to visit and would still be given cigarettes and alcohol, so there were still some at home.

Every word he said did not mean to force Shu Jiabao on the surface, but it was putting pressure on the other party. Although they knew each other well about some things, as long as he didn't tell the truth, he could pretend that nothing happened.

As long as Shu Jiabao agrees to these two words, everything can go back to how it was before.

He is still the father who loves his daughter very much, and Shu Jiabao can still do what he likes and be happy.

——Of course, at the same time, it is tantamount to giving up the relationship with Shen Yi by default.

Shu Jiabao hadn't seen his father smoking for a long time, just such a simple behavior was enough to tell how irritable the other party was at the moment.

But the source of such irritability is in himself.

"Didn't you already guess it?"

"She's my girlfriend."

She was silent for a while, and finally raised her head to meet her father's eyes, and her two calm words showed her firm attitude.

Shu Jiabao did have the idea of ​​escaping at first. After all, her life has been under the control of Shu Minghao, her father since she was a child. From the time she was born, she just became free. Within two years, the familiar feeling of oppression disappeared again. Well, she was afraid of Shu Minghao from the bottom of her heart.

Respect and fear.

But as long as she thought of Shen Yi's hurt eyes after she escaped, she couldn't say what Shu Minghao wanted to hear.

Being brave is the only thing she can do now.

But what she didn't expect was that after she said all this, she felt a lot more relaxed, as if the big stone that was pressing on her heart was suddenly removed, maybe it was already broken.

"Tell me again, what is your relationship with her?"

Hearing his daughter's words, Shu Minghao's tone suddenly became serious.

The cigarette in his hand unknowingly dropped a few spots of ash and landed on the black trousers, which was particularly conspicuous, but he, who has always been obsessed with cleanliness, couldn't care so much at the moment: "Think clearly." Is it? If you persist like this without repentance..."

"Are you going to stop all my bank and credit cards?"

Shu Jiabao spoke quickly and caught up with his words.

She has seen such routines on TV a lot, but she never thought that such a thing would happen to her one day.

"If you had listened to your father, such a thing would not have happened." As he said, Shu Minghao reached out to his daughter, "Give me your phone, and you should stay at home during this period, and you are not allowed to talk to me." She's in touch."

"I don't." Facing his anxious father, Shu Jiabao subconsciously took two steps back.

"Then I don't want it anymore."

"I can live on my own. We never thought of inheriting anything from you."

After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and found her wallet, took out all the credit cards, black cards and so on, and threw them on the coffee table, then stubbornly looked at Shu Minghao: "I don't want them all, you are satisfied Yet?"

…………

In the middle of the night, the rain outside became heavier, and because of the wind, the raindrops fell obliquely and slapped on the window panes, making people upset in the quiet night.

Shen Yi, listening to the sound of rain outside, lay tossing and turning in bed unable to fall asleep.

Shu Jiabao replied to her last message a few hours ago, and then there was no more news.

I don't know how long after this, the mobile phone she put on the bedside table suddenly rang, and the loud ringtone rang in the room, making her even more awake who had no pajamas.

But she was very glad that she received the call.

——The guard room at the gate of the community.

Shen Yi walked out of the night holding an umbrella and stepping on her slippers, the raindrops slammed hard on her umbrella leaf and made a crackling sound. In the guard room, Shen Yi saw Shu Jiabao who was already soaked all over.

Before she could speak, the security guy spoke first.

"Lawyer Shen, is this your sister?"

"Fortunately, I was on duty today and I recognized it. The little girl's house is in such a mess in the middle of the night. She didn't bring an umbrella or a door. You should take it home and take a hot bath." He looked sad, as if She was complaining that Shen Yi was too incompetent to be a sister.

"It's my sister." Shen Yi held Shu Jiabao's cold hands, looked him up and down, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no obvious injuries on Shu Jiabao's body.

It's just that the eye sockets are a little moist at the moment, but I still suppressed my sore nose and thanked the security guards in the community over and over again: "Thank you, thank you so much."

"You're welcome, let's go home quickly." The younger brother waved his hand.

So Shen Yi led Shu Jiabao back the same way, but the rain was too heavy, and half of her shoulders were wet.

The two were silent all the way, until they opened the door and entered the room. The lights were bright, illuminating everything, and Shu Jiabao's current distress was also more clearly seen - from head to toe, there was no place to do anything.

Shu Jiabao looked at the familiar furnishings in the room, and suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"My phone broke when I was arguing with him." She knew what Shen Yi was going to ask, so she spoke first.

The fact is, when Shu Minghao was so angry that his daughter explicitly rejected him, he stood up and snatched the other party's mobile phone. In such a dragging process, Shu Jiabao's mobile phone was directly broken.

"Sister Shen Yi, I really have no money to be kicked out this time." This is not an easy thing to hear, but in order to make Shen Yi's heart less heavy, Shu Jiabao wiped the remaining Pretending to be relaxed, he bent his beautiful eyes, "Otherwise, why don't you keep me for a while?"
