Chapter 1538 The First Gift
It took her a long time to withdraw her gaze from the photo. Her eyes almost looked like she was running away, and the calmness in her tone was very forced.
"I came here mainly to inquire about Chu Yang's whereabouts, not to..."
"But sir, I have something for you."
She looked up at the old man and said with some surprise,
"What?"
The old housekeeper walked into the bedroom holding the door handle. When he turned around, his cloudy eyes fell under the dim light, revealing a bit of intimidating sharpness.
“Miss Shen, are you really not going to come in and take a look?”
Shen Pianpian: ...
She couldn't pinpoint her confused thoughts. After seeing the photo, this ordinary bedroom seemed to have turned into a den of demons and monsters in her heart.
In fact, most of the time, Shen Pianpian cannot be considered a decisive person. Although she has a stubborn temper and will never change her mind about things she has decided, she never makes decisions lightly, not because she is cautious, but because she values love.
Her sentimentality makes it easy for others to find a way to get her into a favor, and once she owes someone a favor, it is not easy for her to get rid of it given her personality.
And now, the girl stood at the door of this strange room, feeling the scent of that person, which should have disappeared long ago but was omnipresent in the interior decoration and various photos, and suddenly her heart palpitated.
It was an instinctive fear of some emotion that was about to be exposed and the responsibility that might be placed on her.
She stood there motionless, and for a moment she almost wanted to rush out the door and ignore everything.
But the impulse only lasted for a moment. Although Shen Pianpian was not decisive, she was never someone who would escape. Moreover, if she wanted to know Chu Yang's whereabouts, she could not give up just like that.
So she took a deep breath, and finally met the old housekeeper's scrutinizing gaze. She rubbed her nose with her fingers, and walked in while saying,
"What he wants you to give me and what you want to show me are probably different, right?"
The old man lowered his eyes, and for a moment his expression was almost relieved, but he soon returned to normal. He walked towards the desk and said tremblingly,
“Miss Shen is really smart, no wonder our master likes you so much.”
Shen Pianpian: ...
Deciding not to run away is one thing, but having to listen to this person constantly finding every opportunity to confess for someone else is another.
Just as he was about to say something, Manager Yan, who had been diligently serving as a background figure, finally spoke.
With a faint sneer on his lips, he followed Shen Pianpian and said leisurely,
"Yes, I like her very much. I like her so much that I almost killed her."
Shen Pianpian: ...
The girl raised her eyebrows subtly, and when she felt the old man's gaze in front of her looking back at her, she immediately made a rational decision to remain silent.
But the old butler didn't seem to want to refute. He just smiled, and that smile was a bit bitter. Before it faded away, he took out a stack of documents from under the table and handed it to Shen Pianpian.
"This is the first gift the gentleman gave you. He only said that he would give it to you if he saw you, but not if he didn't."
Shen Pianxian took the document, opened it and took a look, and found that it was a transfer document for the ownership of a cruise ship.
The signature had Chu Yan's English name written in a flamboyant style, and the arrogance was so strong that it seemed to burst through the paper.
"This is?"
Shen Pianxian looked at the old butler who was a little puzzled, and met his smiling old eyes.
"This cruise ship is in Yungang. It's exactly the same as the one Mr. used last. It has eight-story wall lights."
Shen Pianpian was stunned.
