The car quickly drove to Cathay Banquet.
This time, Zhong Lingyu didn't make a useless struggle and honestly followed Adjutant Li upstairs.
She was pushed into a private room. Shen Huaizhou was the only one in the private room.
Shen Huaizhou was smoking. When he saw her, he patted the place next to her and said, "Come here."
Zhong Lingyu pinched his fingers and picked the chair farthest away from Shen Huaizhou. "I'll just sit here. Young Marshal, you can tell me if you have anything to say."
If she didn't come over, he simply walked over and sat next to her.
Shen Huaizhou put his long arms behind her chair, tilted his head and asked, "Are you having dinner with Huo Fanshu just now?"
Zhong Lingyu was stunned for a moment, and Youhu widened his eyes and asked, "You sent someone to follow me?"
It's said to be tracking, but it's not really what it is.
It's just that what happened to Yan Chungchang last time, Shen Huaizhou will never allow it to happen again.
He sent two people to protect Zhong Lingyu's safety.
He knew her whereabouts like the back of his hand.
Smiling, Shen Huaizhou did not answer her question. Instead, he twirled her hair and played with it on his fingertips. "It made Huo Fanshu happy. Zhong Lingyu, you are quite capable."
Zhong Lingyu felt a chill on the back of his neck, "She came to me and just said a few words."
"How many words did you say?" Shen Huaizhou smiled meaningfully, "Your honey, my arsenic?"
"You...you've been monitoring me." Zhong Lingyu's eyes widened in surprise.
Shen Huaizhou chuckled and raised his hand to hold her on his lap.
His strong arms trapped her waist, looked down at her little face and said, "My woman, you originally planned to escape from my grasp. Where do you think you can escape to?"
Zhong Lingyu's teeth chattered and he plucked up the courage to say in a trembling voice: "Shen Huaizhou, I hate you to death. I must escape to a place where you can't find me."
With a chuckle, Shen Huaizhou held the back of her neck and forced her to look up, "How brave are you? Are you afraid that I will break your legs?"
A chill ran down Zhong Lingyu's spine, and he trembled as he said, "I...I'm not afraid. If you dare to destroy me, I will kill you."
Shen Huaizhou traced her face with his fingertips, squinted his eyes and said, "Then you try to escape once. If you can kill me, count on your ability. If you can't kill me, I will break your legs, and then I'll break your legs." How about putting you in a cage?"
"Abnormal!" Zhong Lingyu's eyes were filled with tears, a little desperate.
Sensing her timidity, Shen Huaizhou's brows relaxed.
His woman is having an affair and needs to be beaten properly.
She had to be fearful so that she wouldn't dare to run away easily.
Of course, that's it for the time being.
After kissing her lips, Shen Huaizhou changed the subject and asked, "Do you like the cat I gave you last time?"
Zhong Lingyu's eyes were red and her throat was choked, "I don't like it. As long as it's from you, I don't like it at all."
"Hard to take care of." Shen Huaizhou wanted to hit her in the mouth.
Zhong Lingyu wanted to spit on him.
Of course, just thinking about it, she didn't dare, for fear of annoying him again.
She is a normal person and cannot risk herself to compete with a madman.
Therefore, Zhong Lingyu said no more.
Shen Huaizhou held her in his lap while eating.
Shen Huaizhou took a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it to her lips, "Would you like to try this? It's the signature of this shop."
Zhong Lingyu refused, "I don't want it."
He patted her belly gently, "I ate too many snacks and it's round. If I eat any more, I'll really have to hold on."
Zhong Lingyu said with a dead face, "Young Marshal, I still have to go to work."
"Wait until I finish, and I'll give it to you after I finish."
Shen Huaizhou said exactly what he said.
Zhong Lingyu had no choice but to wait patiently. She was getting tired of waiting.
Fortunately there was no delay.
Shen Huaizhou sent her back on time. He touched her face and said, "I'm busy these days. In a few days..."
"Slow down, Young Marshal." Zhong Lingyu immediately interrupted him and got out of the car neatly.
She hurriedly ran into the shop and breathed a sigh of relief when Shen Huaizhou left.
After work in the evening, Zhong Lingyu couldn't wait to go home and share her good news with her mother.
Yun Suqing held Zhong Lingyu in her arms, "My baby, I'm so proud of you."
Zhong Lingyu burst into laughter.
She nuzzled into Yun Suqing's arms and hummed, "Mom should think of other things to say and praise me."
"You little monkey." Yun Suqing rubbed her forehead with her chin.
Mrs. Chen brought the medicine over and said with a smile: "Now that we have reached the age of leaving the court, the eldest lady is still the same as when she was a child. She likes to act coquettishly in the wife's arms. This is not acceptable."
Zhong Lingyu hugged Yun Suqing without letting go, "I heard from my mother last time that Mrs. Chen, your daughter is sick. Is she feeling better now?"
Mrs. Chen's face turned pale and she almost knocked over the medicine in her hand.
Zhong Lingyu hurriedly stood up and helped her. Mrs. Chen's hands were very cold.
She placed the medicine firmly on the table and whispered: "Sister-in-law Chen, is your daughter not doing well?"
"Miss, I..." Tears welled up in Mrs. Chen's eyes.
Yun Suqing hurriedly pulled her over and sat down, "Shaoyue, you and I have had a master-servant relationship for many years. Your daughter's condition is not good, and you still want to hide it from me?"
"Ma'am, don't worry." Sister-in-law Chen said, "My daughter just broke her leg, nothing serious."
"Really?" Yun Suqing asked uneasily.
Mrs. Chen nodded, "Really."
"It's okay." After thinking about it, Yun Suqing handed her a plain silver hairpin from her bun, "This jewelry can be used to pawn some money. You have to go to the pawn shop to change it." Use the money to buy some supplements for your daughter, treat it as my sincere wish."
Mrs. Chen took it tremblingly, the mist in her eyes getting thicker.
She lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Zhong Lingyu handed her another hundred yuan and said, "Sister-in-law Chen, there is also this. Keep it. It will come in handy."
Mrs. Chen stared at the money, her expression dazed, and she slowly raised her eyes.
Tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, and she murmured: "Miss, this money... I can't accept it."
"Sister-in-law Chen, are you still going to be polite to me?" Zhong Lingyu insisted on giving her the money.
But Mrs. Chen stood up as if she had been burned, "I really can't accept this money."
She took a few steps back and said in a panic: "Miss, please help Madam drink the medicine. I...I will clean the kitchen."
The corner of the one-hundred-yuan bill was hanging down, but it was not given away after all.
Zhong Lingyu always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
Yun Suqing said: "Forget it if she doesn't want it. You take the money back first. Then I'll take care of it. If she really needs money, I'll find a way to give it to her."
"That's okay." Zhong Lingyu didn't hesitate anymore, "Mom, take the medicine."
After Yun Suqing finished drinking the medicine, she lay down and fell asleep.
Zhong Lingyu settled her mother down, went to the kitchen, and talked to Mrs. Chen, "I know there is something on your mind. You don't want to say it, and I won't force you. But you are half my mother, and I respect you very much. You Don’t be afraid to trouble me.”
Mrs. Chen lowered her eyes, her hands clenched red.
She refused to say anything, and Zhong Lingyu was helpless. She sighed, hugged Mrs. Chen, and turned to go upstairs.
Have a good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, Zhong Lingyu went to greet his mother as usual.
She knocked on the door several times and waited patiently.
But a minute passed and there was no movement.
Mother is used to getting up early, so it's impossible that she hasn't gotten up yet at this time.
Zhong Lingyu felt a sudden pain in his heart.
She quickly went to the warehouse to find the key, opened the door and entered.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhong Lingyu was frightened.
