Chapter 124: Everything Became Restless After Brother Huai Left
He Yuzhou straightened his sleeves and said, "I've seen it before."
There were no windows in the interrogation room, only a dim light from a desk lamp. The man's tired face was covered with gloom, and he stared at him with bloodshot eyes... He Yuzhou looked at Wen Zhile.
"I found something by the window on Thursday. I don't know if it belonged to that comrade. You were in class that day, so I didn't disturb you."
He exuded elegance: "I wanted to wait until you were done with class to give it to you, but I had some personal matters to attend to, so I was delayed."
Wen Zhile remembered that He Yuzhou had been looking at her for a long time by the classroom door that day: "Really? Thank you, what is it?"
"A valuable pen."
Wen Zhile had seen Zhou Jihuai's pens before; all his pens were of the same brand.
"Is it Parker's?"
He Yuzhou: “I forgot.”
Wen Zhile paused, then replied: "Then please help me check it out when you return to school. If it's not this brand, it's not our pen. Thank you anyway."
She spoke politely but distantly, and smiled slightly: "Teacher, you are busy, I won't bother you anymore."
There was a space in front of the team and she walked forward.
He Yuzhou looked at her for two seconds before turning and leaving.
"Senior Zhile Shu, we'll leave first. See you next time!" Xiao Han hurriedly chased after him, "Second brother, wait for me!"
"Don't follow me." A cold voice came from the front.
He Yuzhou's car was parked on the side of the road, but he did not get into the car and walked straight into the mall.
Xiao Han had no choice but to stop and waited for more than ten minutes before he came out.
She then fastened her seat belt and waited for He Yuzhou to get in the car before asking, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
As he entered the car, the smell of cigarettes filled the air. Xiao Han frowned in surprise and asked, "Did you smoke?"
He Yuzhou looked calm as he fastened his seat belt and started the car.
Xiao Han had never seen him like this before. Considering his second cousin's abnormal expression management career from childhood to adulthood, this was already a loss of composure.
She couldn't help but think back to what had just happened. From an outsider's perspective, all the conversations that had just happened were normal and would not have caused her second brother to be like this, unless...
Xiao Han stopped her wandering thoughts in time. This was too absurd. How could she have thought that her second brother liked Wen Zhile?
That girl is five or six years younger than her. Second brother should be an adult, right?
"Second brother, my mother said she wants to introduce you to someone. Do you have time recently? If you do, I'll ask my mother to arrange it. I know that girl. She's a nice person and works in the court."
The Xiao family, like the He family, is a judicial family. Xiao's father holds an important position in the Jingzhou Judicial Department, and Xiao's mother is the president of the Municipal High Court. Their connections are concentrated in the judicial community.
Seeing that He Yuzhou didn't say anything, Xiao Han continued, "If you don't like studying law, my mother has another candidate. She studies Chinese dance and has been learning it since she was young. She even performed a solo dance at the Jingzhou TV Spring Festival Gala this year."
He Yuzhou interrupted Xiao Han's chattering: "I want to focus on my career at this stage. Please thank Third Aunt for her kindness on my behalf."
"Okay then," Xiao Han's heart skipped a beat, "If you change your mind, tell me anytime."
"good."
On the way home, Xiao Han got off the car at the gate of Xiangshan Road Community and said, "Brother, come to my house for dinner?"
"No."
Xiao Han stood beside the car and said, "Then drive slowly."
He Yuzhou nodded and rolled up the car window.
Xiao Han watched the car drive away, still finding it unbelievable, and the speculations she had in the car once again came to her mind.
After the two left, Shu Chengan asked, "Zhizhi, are you two familiar with each other? Did you also take law courses?"
He thought Professor He was a little strange.
Wen Zhile shook his head: "No, my dad asked him to help me look at the investment contract, and we met a few more times after that, so we are half acquaintances."
"No wonder he didn't act like he was treating you as a student when he was talking to you. How strange."
Wen Zhile felt the same way: "It's okay. Anyway, we won't have much contact in the future. At most, we'll just say hello when we meet."
She was used to He Yuzhou's behavior. Compared to him, Zhou Yusheng was more suspicious today.
"There's something wrong with Zhou Yusheng too. Zhizhi, you should be careful of him. I don't know what bad tricks that guy is planning." Shu Cheng'an was worried in his heart. As soon as Brother Huai left, one or two of them showed up.
Fortunately, he was with his cousin, otherwise Brother Huai would have been furious when he came back six months later.
"It's almost our turn. I'll go in first and take a seat. I'll give you twenty yuan. You can buy me whatever you want to eat."
Wen Zhile took the money, and Shu Chengan turned and walked into the store.
It was really hard to get a seat in the store at this moment, but Shu Cheng'an was agile and responsive. By the time Wen Zhile finished buying her meal, he had already occupied a set of table and chairs. Before the girl passed by, he specially wiped the chair opposite her.
After dinner, the two went to Mudan Hutong to pick up Qu Jinghong, and went to the amusement park together. Shu Chengan rushed to send Wen Zhile home before the sun set. Qu Jinghong had already agreed to go to Shu Ye's house for dinner, and they had to return to the military compound before dark, so they did not get off the car.
Wen Zhile went back by herself. When she was climbing the stairs, she met some of her childhood friends from her previous life. She greeted them with a smile. When they saw her, they were a little reserved. They simply replied with a few words and rushed home with the basketball.
The little girl listened to the footsteps fading upstairs and opened the door.
"Zhizhi is back? Did you have fun today?" Shu Ying turned around on the sofa. "Journey to the West" was playing on TV. She had nothing to do, so she held a bag of melon seeds and watched it with Wen Shuren.
Wen Shuren turned around behind her and said, "Your mother and I bought two big grapefruits on the way back. Come and have a taste."
"Hey, okay, my cousin took me and grandma to the amusement park. It was fun." Wen Zhile went to the tea table, took a piece of pomelo flesh, and took a bite. "It's delicious, sour and sweet."
She looked at the TV: "Why is Journey to the West playing again? Didn't it just end?"
"Your father and I were just saying that there must be a leader in Jingzhou TV who loves to watch Journey to the West, otherwise they wouldn't have started broadcasting the first episode again soon after the finale." Shu Ying smiled and stood up, "Did grandma go to your uncle's house?"
"Yeah, aunt said she had something to talk to grandma about."
Shu Ying nodded: "Your father and I bought you a red sweater. We bought a large size for you. It's loose and comfortable to wear. We put it in your room. Go and try it on."
"Wow, I'll be there right away! Thank you, mom, thank you, dad."
Shu Ying watched her daughter run into the room, and the smile on her face faded a little. She sighed softly: "It's all my fault that I didn't pay more attention back then. Zhizhi suffered so much in the countryside. If I hadn't made a mistake, Zhizhi wouldn't be so happy just by going to the amusement park."
They started taking Dai Nuan to the amusement park when she was five years old, so much so that she later lost interest in the amusement park whenever she mentioned it, saying that she was tired of it.
Zhizhi is almost seventeen years old, but she has been to the amusement park only a few times.
Wen Shuren hugged her shoulders and comforted her: "The past cannot be changed, but the future can still be pursued."
Sister Zhu interrupted their sadness: "Professor Shu, Professor Wen, I have finished cooking the dishes you mentioned. Shall we serve them now?"
"Go ahead and take it." Wen Shuren said, "After you take Sister Zhu, you can go home."
"Okay!"
Wen Zhile came out after changing into a sweater, smiling brightly: "Mom, you have a really good taste. This sweater is not only beautiful but also easy to match. It will go well with any pair of pants."
Sister Zhu moved swiftly back and forth in the kitchen, glancing over here in the middle: "Professor Shu has good taste, and Xiao Wen is pretty too, she looks good in anything she wears."
Wen Zhile smiled and replied, "Thank you Aunt Zhu for the compliment."
"So many dishes, do you have guests at home?"
"Your Uncle Qin said he would come over in the evening." Wen Shuren replied.
