The afternoon sun lazily sprinkled in the courtyard, and the leaves rustled in the breeze, casting a mottled light and shadow.
Su Jinyu was sitting in a rocking chair, flipping through a magazine, enjoying a moment of tranquility.
At this time, Aunt Wu came hurriedly: “Miss Shen Jingyu is here to see you”
Su Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly, put down the magazine, and thought to herself: I didn't wait for Zhou Youchen, but I waited for Chen Jingyu.
I guess he was forced into a desperate situation.
"Please ask her to come in."
She said softly, with a hint of understanding in her tone.
Shen Jingyu stepped into the courtyard and saw Su Jinyu sitting in the rocking chair at a glance.
She was wearing a light blue cheongsam, with a bright and beautiful appearance, elegant posture and refined temperament.
Shen Jingyu stepped forward quickly, bowed slightly, and said anxiously, "Sister Su, you said you could help me."
Su Jinyu smiled and motioned for her to sit down. His eyes fell on her and he asked softly, "Are you planning on getting married?"
Her voice was gentle, but it made people feel an invisible pressure.
Shen Jingyu bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and mustered up the courage to say: "Sister Su, I can't marry him. The person my wife is looking for for me to marry is Luo Ling's father... Luo Ling and I are good friends and classmates. How can I marry her father!!! He is over 40 years old, I don't want to, I don't want to..."
Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling wronged and started crying softly.
"I want to study abroad, but my wife disagrees. She says that girls don't need to study so much and marrying a good man is the most important thing. Sister Su, please help me."
Su Jinyu wanted to grasp all the dynamics of Qianjiang, and he was still familiar with some important figures.
Luo Ling's father is the director of the Civil Affairs Department. His first wife died of illness, and his two concubines never gave birth to children for him. He only has one daughter, and he is very obedient to Luo Ling.
She slowly drank a sip of tea and said, "I said before that I can help you with your marriage."
Shen Jingyu's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"I'm a good person, have you forgotten?"
Su Jinyu leaned forward slightly, staring closely at Shen Jingyu's eyes, "I can help you turn down this marriage, and I can also give you a large sum of money so that you can go abroad to study smoothly"
These words are full of temptation. No matter how stupid Shen Jingyu is, he knows that there is no such thing as pie in the sky.
What's more, the relationship between the Shen family and Su Jinyu has completely broken down.
She was worried, "What are your conditions?"
Su Jinyu curled her lips, "You are going to be my eyes and ears in the Shen family. I need you to help me keep an eye on their every move. Tell me any news in time. Can you do it?"
Her voice was cold, and her eyes were sharp.
Shen Jingyu's heart was shocked, and he shook his head unconsciously.
Before he could open his mouth to refuse, Su Jinyu interrupted with a sneer.
"Don't refuse yet, think about it carefully... When you came to me, you already knew that you were desperate and no one could help you. Of course, you can choose to marry Director Luo, but you have to know that Director Luo is only kind to his daughter Luo Ling. He is not gentle to other women... If you don't believe me, you can go check it out again."
Shen Jingyu sat paralyzed in despair, desperate and helpless.
"You are all forcing me...you are forcing me to die"
She covered her face and burst into tears.
Su Jinyu knew it was hard for her to accept.
When Shen Jingyu's crying gradually stopped, she spoke, "Nothing in this world is worthless. You and I have no favor to talk about. To be honest, we still have some grievances... This is a deal. It is not easy for you to collect intelligence in the Shen family, but you only need to do this one thing, and you can leave everything else to me..."
"I can give you a few days..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Jingyu moved his palm away, revealing a tearful face with makeup smudged from crying.
"I promise!"
Su Jinyu raised her eyebrows, looking a little interested, "Have you considered it?"
Shen Jingyu was forced into a desperate situation by her own family, and she had no choice but to leave.
She knew that Su Jinyu was taking advantage of her.
However, in order to study abroad and escape the marriage arranged by her father, she had no choice.
“I only have one request”
Su Jinyu raised her chin slightly, "You say"
"I don't know what you are going to do, but before the Shen family is finished, you must send me and my mother abroad first," Shen Jingyu thought, "Pay back the money, I need enough money"
“You know, money is not a problem for me.”
Su Jinyu looked at her and said, "I'm helping you with money and money. If the information you give me is worthless, I will take it all back..."
Shen Jingyu frowned, “What news do you want?”
Su Jinyu didn't answer, "Just collect as much information as you can, I will identify what is valuable to me... Of course, you must ensure your own safety first, and the Shen family will also send people to cover for you."
"You..." Shen Jingyu looked at her in shock, "You planted someone in the Shen family?"
After saying that, he shook his head again, "No, after you left, your wife no longer believed in you and changed a group of people."
Su Jinyu just smiled and didn't explain.
"Don't come to me again in the future. Don't send any message. Just go to Sanwei Restaurant and tell them you have reserved table number 3... If the situation is urgent, you can also call this number."
She handed the note she had prepared long ago to Shen Jingyu.
Shen Jingyu put the note away, stood up, turned around and left the Su residence.
The lights in the yard gradually lit up, and the dim glow swayed in the evening breeze like a flickering candlelight, adding a bit of haziness to the quiet night.
Su Jinyu stood in front of the window on the second floor, with her arms folded, her eyes occasionally looking towards the courtyard gate, her slender fingers tapping the windowsill unconsciously, revealing her inner emotions.
"Miss, is Captain Zhou not coming?" Qingru walked into the room holding a cup of tea and said softly.
Su Jinyu turned around, took the teacup, took a sip, and the warm tea slid down her throat. "It doesn't matter if he doesn't come. I can just go find him."
Having said that, I still feel a little angry.
Finally, there was a sound of steady footsteps outside the courtyard gate.
Su Jinyu's eyes lit up, and she walked quickly to the door, stopped before opening it, and walked out slowly.
Looking down from the second floor, Zhou Youchen was wearing a black windbreaker, the corners of his clothes swaying slightly in the wind, and his hair was a little messy, obviously he was in a hurry.
He looked up and his eyes met Su Jinyu's.
The laces of Su Mansheng's nightgown were wrapped around the carved iron railings. The peacock blue silk made her look like a swallowtail butterfly with its wings folded.
It's so flamboyant and bright that people can't take their eyes off it.
Su Jinyu's eyes fell on the luggage at his feet.
It's called luggage, but it's just a small bag that looks like it can hold a few pieces of clothes at most.
She raised her eyebrows and spoke first, "How many days do you plan to stay here?"
Zhou Youchen panted slightly, "It's fine as long as it can be changed and washed."
Aunt Wu arranged for Zhou Youchen to live in a bedroom next to Su Jinyu. Zhou Youchen stood at the door and didn't go in. He said to Su Jinyu, "I'll live on the first floor. I come back late at night and I'm afraid to disturb you."
