Do not lie to me

Mrs. Shao was sitting on the balcony on the second floor of the mansion. She just wanted to sit like this. She had been so absent-minded since returning from the reception last night.Withdrew the people who took care of Xu Xueshi and notified the police to arrest him.

She didn't even make breakfast this morning, just excused that she was not feeling well.Fortunately, Master Shao didn't say anything, he just thought she was tired from coping at the reception yesterday, and asked strangely before leaving the door, "You have been asked to officially appear in front of everyone in the name of Mrs. Shao, why do you still look a little bit like that?" unhappy?"

Mrs. Shao lowered her head at the time, and she only said that it was because she was too tired. She didn't even bother to give Shao Ji a backpack to class. She just wanted to be alone for a while and think about why she felt so tired. Tired, obviously all the goals have been achieved, but why doesn't she feel a sense of accomplishment.

"Ma'am." Someone came up and interrupted her leisure time in the sun.

Mrs. Shao sat in the wicker chair, gathered the shawl on her shoulders, and said lazily, "No matter what, don't bother me."

"Ma'am, someone just brought in flowers. Let me check with you."

"Flowers? I didn't order flowers?" Mrs. Shao thought for a while, and guessed that Shao Ji ordered flowers for her. Shao Ji has always been like this. Seeing that she is too busy and tired, she will always order a bouquet of flowers she likes Sending it to her face, Shao Ji asked her a few more questions before going out this morning, and it was the same at the reception last night. Signaled to her that it was okay.Thinking of this, Mrs. Shao smiled out of relief, "Have someone bring the flowers in."

When the people left, Mrs. Shao got up slowly from the rattan chair, took out her mobile phone and dialed, "Hi, is Ji'er busy?"

"It's okay. There aren't many classes today, and I originally planned to go to self-study, but I saw your complexion this morning, and I'm already on my way back now."

Mrs. Shao smiled, "It's okay, you don't have to rush back. I feel much better now, and didn't you send flowers?"

"Flowers, what flowers? I didn't send flowers home?"

Mrs. Shao held up the phone for a moment, but the sound of footsteps behind her stopped. She turned around and took a look, and the phone dropped to the ground.

"Hello? Hello? Mom? Mom, are you okay?"

Shang Xuechen hugged the flower and glanced at the phone that fell on the ground.Mrs. Shao reacted, bent down in a panic, picked up the phone and hung up, "Why...how did you come here?"

Shang Xuechen raised his hand and took off his hat, raised his head and looked at the person in front of him, "You didn't act so flustered last night."

Mrs. Shao looked at the hat he took off and frowned, "This is the Shao family."

Shang Xuechen followed her eyes to look at the hat that he took off in his hand, and raised his hand to put it on again, "If you mind, I'll put it on again to cover my face."

"No need." Mrs. Shao passed him, "Come with me to the study." After speaking, she stepped out of the balcony and shouted in a pretentious manner, "Follow me to the study to put the flowers on."

Shang Xuechen stood there with his head bowed, put on his hat after thinking about it, then turned and followed to the study.

Mrs. Shao hurried into the study, and Shang Xuechen followed in unhurriedly. After closing the door, the first thing she said when she turned around was, "I remember you like roses very much."

"Xiaochen." Mrs. Shao called him, Shang Xuechen stopped and still couldn't walk up to her, "You probably didn't just come here to send flowers."

Shang Xuechen looked down at the flowers in his hand, "Is this not possible?"

Mrs. Shao denied him directly, "Impossible." As soon as the words came out, even the speaker felt embarrassed.

There was an eerie silence in the room for a moment, and the bouquet in Shang Xuechen's arms began to drip and wet the carpet.

"You came to look for me, you should have something to say to me. Xiaochen, you heard what my mother said, my mother never..."

"Don't listen, there is only one thing I want to say here. You find a way to save my brother. Just this one thing, as long as you do it, I... I will... I can disappear, go to other cities , it doesn’t matter which country you choose, it won’t appear again, and it won’t threaten your current status.”

"Xiaochen, mom doesn't mean that. I can't do anything about Xu Xueshi's matter. It's Ji Shuping! It's Ji Shuping who brought his casino and let him in. Because the land that Xu Xueshi gave me has problems, now I'm also being punished. The object of the investigation can't keep him at all. All of this is Ji Shuping, it's all Ji Shuping's tricks. Don't entangle with him anymore, he has always wanted to use you. Mom has never forgotten you in these years. I Knowing that you don't want to leave the place you've been used to since you were a child, you just have to bear with it a little bit, wait a minute, as long as your..." Mrs. Shao paused, Shang Xuechen looked up at her and asked, "Wait for me? ?”

Mrs. Shao swallowed her saliva before continuing, "Wait until the old man of the Shao family is a hundred years later, and your...your younger brother succeeds safely. At that time, our family of three will be able to reunite. The restaurant chain company in my mother's hand will be reunited when the time comes for you."

Shang Xuechen twitched the corner of his mouth, "A family of three?"

"Yes." Mrs. Shao walked up to her, grabbed his arm and whispered, "Don't you like family the most? The three of us can also be a family of three. Don't get involved with Ji Shuping, we will live well in the future .”

"What about my brother? Can you save my brother?"

"He's involved in the underworld, and it's not so easy to get out after he's in. All of this is caused by Ji Shuping, and I can't do anything about it. When the limelight passes, I'll find someone to take care of everything he's in there."

Shang Xuechen just listened to her defense with his head down powerlessly, and when Mrs. Shao's mouth became dry, he raised his head and asked, "Did you see me at the airport back then?"

"Huh?" Mrs. Shao's hand holding his arm dropped, "There were other people behind me back then, so I..."

"Why didn't you even look back back then? Why didn't you look back at me?"

"That's because, that's because..." Mrs. Shao's shoulders were slumped and she was unable to deal with him anymore, she just said the truth, "I don't want to look back. I don't want to look back at my past."

"So I'm the most humiliating thing in your past?"

Mrs. Shao smiled, "How could it be, you are not. If it weren't for your birth, how could I get rid of the fate of being a young lady? It's just that I made up my mind very early on that my life must not stop, and I must not just be willing to do it To that extent. Since giving birth to a son can get rid of my fate of being a husband, then I will definitely be able to squeeze into the upper class by having another son. Now that I have decided, I can't look back. "

"It turned out to be so, no wonder."

"No wonder what?" Mrs. Shao asked him.

"No wonder he..."

"Mom?" The study door was opened, and Shang Xuechen's words were interrupted. He turned his head and saw Shao Ji who was stunned.Shang Xuechen turned around and walked in front of him.Shao Ji stood in front of the door in a daze, Mrs. Shao watched Shang Xuechen stop in front of Shao Ji, and hurriedly said before their conversation, "Ah, the flower shop clerk just happened to bring me flowers."

Shao Ji looked at Mrs. Shao behind Shang Xuechen, and as soon as she finished speaking, Shao Ji saw Shang Xuechen in front of him clenched his fist involuntarily.Shao Ji looked at his face and called out, "Brother Chen."

"Do you know each other?" Mrs. Shao asked in amazement, the person she saw walking side by side with Shao Ji when eating in the restaurant suddenly flashed in her mind, remembering that she checked with the concierge and discovered the lie Shao Ji had told her.Mrs. Shao's gaze stayed on Shang Xuechen's back again, and she suddenly felt that what she had just said in a hurry was ridiculous.

Shang Xuechen looked at Shao Ji in front of him, sent the flowers in his arms to Shao Ji, and said, "Madam, I have delivered the flowers you like." After finishing speaking, he left the study.

Shao Ji looked down at the flowers in his arms, and then at Mrs. Shao who was walking two steps here but stopped suddenly.Shao Ji thought for a while, turned around and chased out of the study.Mrs. Shao was in a dilemma for a while in the study alone, and she just yelled, "Xiaochen, Ji'er."

Shang Xuechen lowered the brim of his hat to prevent other servants in the room from seeing his face.As he walked with his head down, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind, "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, Brother!"

Shang Xuechen stopped and turned around to see Shao Ji holding the bouquet of flowers.Seeing people stop, Shao Ji turned back to look at him, and called him again, "Brother." After that, Shang Xuechen walked up to him and called him, "Xiao Ji."

Hearing him calling himself, Shao Ji relaxed and smiled at him, "Huh?"

"Xiao Ji?" Shang Xuechen laughed at himself, "No wonder you are called Xiao Ji. You are her first sunshine after the rain, and I am nothing to her."

Shao Ji froze in place, watching Shang Xuechen turn and leave, he had no words to persuade him to stay.

Ji Shuping drove all the way out looking for someone, until he found Sunset Xishan, but he still didn't see anyone.He parked the car on the side of the road in frustration, smashed the steering wheel twice and collapsed into the car seat, "Where the hell are you?"

As soon as the words were finished, the phone rang. It was a call from a stranger, but Ji Shuping hurriedly picked it up, "Hello, is that you?"

There was no sound from the other end of the phone, Ji Shuping continued to ask him, "Where are you?"

"I was at the park last time." Then the phone hung up.

Of course Ji Shuping knew which park he was referring to, so he immediately started the car and drove out, because he was too anxious to turn on the turn signal, and was angrily honked by the car coming up from behind.When he arrived at the park, Ji Shuping saw a shadow sitting on the swing from a long distance away, and when he got closer to look, he saw Shang Xuechen leaning against the iron chain of the swing.

Shang Xuechen heard footsteps coming towards him, he was too lazy to raise his head and just said, "Stand there and don't come over."

Ji Shuping stopped in his tracks and did not go past.

"Let me ask you, was it really your design that my brother's casino was blocked?"

"Yes."

"You just wanted to find someone to cover up and use at the beginning?"

"Yes."

"Is it true that you love me?"

"Yes."

"Okay, in this case, you should find a way to get my brother out."

Ji Shuping didn't answer, and Shang Xuechen didn't look up, just laughed, "Hmph, so you said you love me is a lie."

"No! I didn't lie to you! Your brother was too aggressive before, and he didn't have a backstage. People have already disliked him. Now you can let him go if you go in."

"Then why are you!" Shang Xuechen roared loudly, "Then why did you send him in again?"

Ji Shuping sensed something was wrong, "What's wrong with your voice?" Shang Xuechen's voice was a little hoarse, it wasn't the sentence that made his voice hoarse just now, "What's wrong with you?"

"Don't come here! I told you not to come here!" Shang Xuechen yelled, but Ji Shuping didn't listen, and ran up to him, "You look up and let me see."

Shang Xuechen remained motionless and still lowered his head, Ji Shuping reached out to pinch his chin, Shang Xuechen reached out to block it, but that stroke was weak, and it couldn't stop Ji Shuping at all.Ji Shuping pinched his chin to make him lift his head, and saw his flushed face and peeling lips, "Do you have a fever?" Not only that, he didn't pay attention at first, but now he looked carefully and saw the redness on Shang Xuechen's cheek. Two dry tears.

Shang Xuechen couldn't get away from Ji Shuping's hand, instead he grabbed his sleeve and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't care if you are true to me, or whether you really want to use it as a pawn to defeat the Shao family. , I just beg you, I just beg you to release my brother, as long as you let me do anything. From childhood to adulthood, only my brother treats me well, so I beg you."

Ji Shuping just touched his cheek and asked, "Why are you crying?"

Shang Xuechen's hand holding his sleeve fell down, and his head was about to drop again, but Ji Shuping pinched his chin and insisted not to let him bow his head and asked him, "Why are you crying?"

"Because..." Shang Xuechen looked at Ji Shuping with his burning red eyes, and Ji Shuping saw the bloodshot eyes covered by mist in his already burned eyes, "because his name is Shao Ji. "Then tears fell like tears, Shang Xuechen choked with tears, and said intermittently, "He...his name...Shao Ji, he...is her...hope, it is her life. The first sunny day after the rain, I... I am nothing..."

Ji Shuping crouched in front of him and grasped his hand tightly, "You are unique to me."

Shang Xuechen cried convulsively and looked at the person in front of him, "No, I'm just your pawn. I'm also her pawn. It's okay, I don't mind."

"No, no, listen to me!"

Shang Xuechen didn't listen to him, and just said to himself, "Why, why do I have such a mother."

Ji Shuping lowered his head. He really didn't know how to comfort him. He just said, "The princesses in fairy tales don't have mothers, but they all have princes. Isn't it good that you have me? And not all mothers in this world are good. , look at my mother..."

"No, no! My mother is different!" Shang Xuechen pushed Ji Shuping who was squatting in front of him to the ground, and when he got up from the swing, he staggered a bit. Ji Shuping got up to help him, but Shang Xuechen backed away After taking two steps and barely standing still, pointing to Ji Shuping, he said, "Your mother has never been nice to you since you were a child, so you don't have to worry about it. You can leave it if you can. But she is different. I remember, I remember that she treated me very well when I was young." Well, hugs me, puts me to sleep, and cooks what I like to eat. She treats me so well! How can I forget like this? How can I say no and leave like you? Now she has a representative She said she didn't want to look back, and I was in her past! Then what should I do? What should I do?" Shang Xuechen's voice became hoarse and hoarse until the last chorus Even if he couldn't send out all the hair, Ji Shuping watched him lose his breath and fell straight backward.

"Xuechen!" Ji Shuping hurriedly got up from the ground, rushed to pick up the fallen man, reached out to touch his forehead and found that he had a severe fever, immediately picked up the man and rushed to his car, driving all the way The car rushed back to his villa.

With a "bang", Ji Shuping kicked open the door and carried someone in, and went upstairs directly.

"Xuechen, Xuechen, Shang Xuechen!" Ji Shuping touched his sweaty bangs pasted on his forehead, his whole body was burning badly, "You can't be in trouble, I won't let you be in trouble." While talking, While going to untie Shang Xuechen's clothes, he took a towel and wiped him. After wiping, he reached out and touched his face, "Open your eyes, open your eyes and look at me." Ji Shuping anxiously touched Shang Xuechen's hand , "Open your eyes and look at me first."

No matter how Ji Shuping yelled, Shang Xuechen kept his eyes closed and didn't move at all.Ji Shuping shook his hands and took out his mobile phone from his pocket, "Hey, why aren't you here yet! Come here quickly!"

"Already on the way!"

When Ji Shuping drove back, he had already called Yang Lian. Yang Lian was driving when he heard a helpless voice from the bluetooth headset, "No matter how I call him, he doesn't respond. No matter how I call him, he doesn't respond. What should I do, what should I do?"

Hearing that he almost drove past the intersection, Yang Lian realized that he even turned the steering wheel to turn around. It was the first time he heard Ji Shuping's helpless voice, so he could only persuade, "I'll be right there!"

Ji Shuping hung up the phone, sat on the floor beside the bed, tightly grasped Shang Xuechen's hand and put it on the bridge of his nose, "You must have nothing to do, you must have nothing to do."

When Yang Lian arrived, he looked at the kicked open door and was stunned for a while. After realizing it, he immediately ran upstairs.When he arrived in the room, he saw Ji Shuping sitting on the ground dejectedly, and Shang Xuechen who was held by him and lay quietly on the bed.Sitting on the ground, Ji Shuping looked up at him and opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound. Yang Lian knew what he meant by looking at his mouth shape, "Help him quickly."

Yang Lian carried his medical kit and walked to the bed, glanced at Ji Shuping who was sitting on the ground holding his hand and said in a bit of embarrassment, "You have to get out of the way first."

Ji Shuping could only let go, and stood up with the edge of the bed, but his movements were not as sharp as usual, and even his knees were limp when he got up.Yang Lian didn't care about him, and when he saw the person stepping away, he immediately stepped forward to shine a flashlight into his eyes, measured his pulse, and then took his temperature with a thermometer, "I don't see anything for now. Now we can only reduce his fever first, and then give him a detailed examination after he wakes up." After speaking, he looked at Ji Shuping again, "What about you? How are you?"

Ji Shuping just shook his head.Seeing him like this, Yang Lian sighed, "His condition is unknown, why don't I stay tonight so that I can carefully observe his symptoms tomorrow morning."

"No, let's go." Ji Shuping bypassed Yang Lian and remained in the previous position, just sat down by the bed and reached out to touch Shang Xuechen's face, helping him to brush some hair, "I think he woke up You shouldn't want to see a doctor around."

"How can this work? What if he has any special symptoms tomorrow morning?" Yang Lian said anxiously.

"It's okay, you go. I'll just keep him."

Yang Lian sighed, took out the medicine from his bag and put it on the bedside, "It's the medicine prescribed to him last time. If he gets sick, it's good for him to take it." After speaking, he turned around and left. Looking back, Ji Shuping still caressed Shang Xuechen's face like that, and wiped him off when he sweated, while Shang Xuechen just lay down.Yang Lian sighed, the only thing he could do was to help them close the door.
