After saying goodbye to the Shen family, Li Shu and others returned to the Ji family.
Because Ji Heng felt a little dizzy, he asked the servant to help him go upstairs to rest.
At this time, only Li Shu and Ji Jingchen were in the living room.
Li Shu took off her suit jacket and handed it to Ji Jingchen, "Thank you, brother."
Ji Yanli took it and hung it on his arm. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Xiao Shu, what do you think of Chen Yu?"
Li Shu raised her eyebrows and gave a fair assessment: "It's okay, he's handsome, but he seems to have some flaws."
"Problem?" Ji Jingchen's eyes flashed with surprise. "I saw that you two were getting along well during the meal."
Li Shu tilted her head, her eyes dark and bright, "That's because you didn't hear what we said, brother. Anyway, he's a bit of a psycho."
Although Ji Yanli was not much older than Shen Yu, they had not had much contact. After hearing what Li Shu said, he made a quick decision and said, "Then forget about this marriage. I'll go tell Dad tomorrow."
Li Shu coughed dryly and quickly stopped herself, "Brother, don't be in a hurry, let's talk about this later."
Ji Jingchen frowned and slowly expressed his suspicions, "Are you so mesmerized by his face that you can ignore his flaws?"
"How could that be? I'm not a face lover." Li Shu denied.
"Then why? I remember you were originally quite resistant to this marriage. Since you can break off the engagement, why do you want to cancel it?"
Li Shu explained casually: "Brother, actually I exaggerated a bit. He is a good person, but his personality may be a little strange. I think we can still get along with him."
The main thing was that she figured out that she had some kind of connection with the Shen family, but she wasn't sure about the details.
She likes to get to the bottom of things she doesn't understand, so she wants to take this opportunity to get in touch with the Shen family to find out what's going on, and Shen Yu is naturally the best breakthrough point.
In fact, she also suspected that there might be something between her and Chen Yu, but she thought about it and felt that it was impossible. She was not attracted to Chen Yu.
Ji Jingchen patted her head and didn't ask any more questions. He said softly, "Okay, just make your own decision."
Li Shu's eyes moved slightly, "Well, I know my limits."
…
On this side, after Li Shu returned to the room, she took out her pajamas from the closet and went straight to the bathroom.
It was half an hour later when I came out of the shower.
Li Shu walked slowly to the table with a dry towel in her hand, pulled out a chair and sat down casually. Then she lifted her long and straight legs and placed them on the table, and began to wipe her still dripping hair with one hand.
After wiping it attentively for a while, she paused when her eyes accidentally fell on the coat she had thrown on the bed, as if she remembered something important.
Li Shu wrapped all her hair with a towel, took her legs off the table, stood up and walked to the bed, bent down to touch her coat pocket, and took out her cell phone.
She unlocked her phone, walked back to the table and sat down, clicked on WeChat, glanced at the two new friend requests, and immediately clicked "Agree". Then she casually threw the phone on the table and continued to wipe her hair.
Just a few seconds later, the phone suddenly rang.
Li Shu paused while wiping her hair, reached out to pick up her phone and looked at the lit screen. She was a little surprised that it was a message from Shen Yu.
【Are you asleep, little hamster?】
The corner of Li Shu's mouth twitched, and she immediately replied while tapping the phone screen with her fair fingers.
[I'm not asleep yet. Also, please don't call me names randomly. We're not familiar with each other.]
Chen Yu: [Not familiar? You're so heartless, my fiancée.]
Li Shu sighed softly, "Nervous."
After replying, he put down his phone, stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"Brother Yu, something's wrong with you tonight. Why have you been staring at your phone since you came here?" Huo Yandong asked curiously, looking at the young man leaning on the sofa in a disheveled manner.
Chen Yu held a half-burned cigarette between his slender fingers. He raised his lazy, half-closed eyes slightly and looked at him. The teardrop mole under the corner of his eye looked even more radiant and sentimental under the light from the overhead. He said slowly, "Send me the photo you took last time."
"Huh?" Huo Yandong was a little confused. "Which photo?"
Chen Yu casually withdrew his gaze, "It's a female ghost."
"Brother Yu, what do you want a photo of the ghost girl for?" Huo Yandong raised his head and took a sip of wine, quite surprised. His eyes moved slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise as if he had thought of something. "Brother Yu, do you like this kind of strong taste?!"
Shen Yu's eyelids twitched, and his voice was low and cold, "Stop talking nonsense and send it quickly."
"Oh." Huo Yandong coughed dryly, put down the glass in his hand, picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table, found the photo of the female ghost's back that he took last night and sent it to him.
After receiving the photo, Shen Yu clicked on it to enlarge it and began to observe it carefully.
Seeing this, Huo Yandong came over and said, "Brother Yu, what are you looking at? Is there something wrong with this photo?"
Chen Yu didn't reply to him, but narrowed his eyes slightly. He became more and more certain that the girl in the photo was Li Shu. He was just a little surprised why she was wandering on the street in the middle of the night, with her clothes not only tattered but also dirty.
He looked at the time of the filming, which was the day before Li Shu was brought back.
"Go check what happened the day before Li Shu was brought back."
"Who are you investigating?" Huo Yandong was slightly stunned, and for a moment he didn't react to who Li Shu he was talking about.
Shen Yu saved the photo to his phone album and said calmly, "The eldest lady of the Ji family, my fiancée."
"Oh, yes, I remember now." Huo Yandong suddenly realized, "Why are you checking this?"
Chen Yu didn't hide it, tapping the screen of his phone with his fingers, "The girl in the photo you took is her."
Huo Yandong was stunned when he heard this. "No, Brother Yu, you are kidding, right? The ghost girl is Li Shu?!"
Chen Yu raised his chin slightly, "Almost exactly."
"Oh my god, what kind of fate is this? It's too coincidental. But why is Li Shu wandering the streets dressed like that in the middle of the night?"
Shen Yu leaned forward and put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, "So I asked you to check what happened the day before she returned to Ji's house."
"Okay, I get it." Huo Yandong suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Brother Yu, aren't you having dinner with the Ji family tonight? How's Li Shu?"
Chen Yu raised his eyebrows, his porcelain-white fingers casually playing with his phone, and curled the corners of his lips, "It's quite cute."
"Fuck, Brother Yu, are you attracted to her?!" Huo Yandong subconsciously widened his eyes, as if he had seen something incredible, "So I'm going to have a sister-in-law?!"
"Yeah." Shen Yu turned the phone around in his hand, then stood up slowly and said, "Let's go."
