She turned around, “Auntie Zhao, did you call the police?”

Auntie Zhao looked at the meaning in her eyes and pretended to shout, “I did, I did!”

“Then you just wait.” Sheng Weixia clapped her hands and turned to go upstairs.

The show was over.

Yu Mingda in the yard stomped his foot in anger, “Damn it!” Then he took two steps forward and shouted, “Wait!”

Sheng Weixia paused, hearing the voice clearly directed at her, she turned to look in the direction of the sound.

First, she saw Yu Shi, she was slightly surprised, she didn’t expect Gu Qingwei to be able to invite him, but the one calling her was clearly the man beside him, she thought and thought, there was no such person in her memory.

She heard the whispers of the people around her:

“It’s Yu Shi and his uncle!”

“His uncle? Is he that high up in the family? But he looks so young!”

“Yeah, not much older than him.”

Yu Shi’s uncle?

Sheng Weixia had a vague impression, after Yu Lao Ye completely handed over power, this youngest son had a lot of support.

“You calling me?” Sheng Weixia pointed at herself.

Yu Mingda pulled Yu Shi inside, but someone was ahead of them, striding past the two of them and coming to Sheng Weixia.

“Good girl, well said! I’m your uncle!”

Jiang Mingzhi’s face was filled with excitement, his gaze seemed to weigh a thousand pounds as it swept over Sheng Danyan, then fell back on his son, he shouted, “What are you dawdling about, come here!”

“Dad! You scared my cousin!” Jiang Pengtao patted Gu Qingwei’s shoulder reassuringly, then came to Sheng Weixia, extending his hand, “I’m your cousin, Jiang Pengtao.”

“You stay here and deal with the mess downstairs, I’ll have a good chat with your cousin!” Jiang Mingzhi was used to giving orders, he left everyone behind and took Sheng Weixia upstairs.

Jiang Mingzhi was the backbone of the Jiang family, he was exceptionally capable, and he had brought all his siblings to a good life, only his younger sister Jiang Xiuhou wouldn’t listen to his advice, she had been chosen for the Art Troupe through a nationwide selection, but she stubbornly married Gu Desheng and gave up her chance.

Therefore, he had always disliked this brother-in-law.

Gu Qingwei watched their backs, biting her lip and trying hard to hold back her tears.

Suddenly, a gentle voice came from beside her, “It’s not pretty to cry, it’s just a small matter!”

She looked up and met those smiling peach blossom eyes again, she said dumbly, “Thank you…”

But her eyes involuntarily shifted to Yu Shi beside him.

Yu Mingda noticed the shift in her gaze, his heart skipped a beat, he raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly, “Your sister just made me lose a lot of money.”

He said nonchalantly, then turned to Yu Shi and said unhappily, “Think of the bet quickly, I’m not waiting around!”

He turned and left, but everyone’s gaze remained on Yu Shi.

Sheng Danyan had been put in his place by Sheng Weixia, and seeing Jiang Mingzhi acting like a leader, he felt guilty and slipped to the wall, preparing to blend in with the crowd and leave.

But how could Jiang Pengtao, who was from the army, let him get away?

He grabbed him and pushed him to the ground, directly calling a friend at the police station to send a car to pick him up.

Because of Yu Mingda’s casual comfort, Gu Qingwei forced herself to entertain her friends.

Jiang’s several cousins who came late also had the sense to help with the arrangements, allowing the party to continue, the ones playing the piano played, the ones chatting chatted, and the big meal that Jiang Xiuhou had prepared without any effort was not wasted.

In the upstairs meeting room, Jiang Pengtao reached out to take the tea that Sheng Weixia poured, “I’ll just stay for a while and then leave, I’m here, those monkeys downstairs won’t have fun. Good girl, sit down.”

He had heard the conversation between Sheng Weixia and Sheng Danyan just now, looking at his niece who looked very much like his own mother, Jiang Pengtao couldn’t help but sigh, “You’ve suffered, your parents are muddleheaded, they made you suffer, you’re a good girl, I haven’t asked you yet, how did you do in this year’s college entrance exam…?”

His gaze towards Sheng Weixia was soft and deep, making her feel a strange sense of intimacy.

She remembered the optimization plan for Gu’s listing that she had done in her previous life, if it hadn’t been for the fact that her uncle had something to do at the company that day, her own father would have lightly handed the plan to Gu Qingwei and her husband to look at, there wouldn’t have been…

Well, it was all the same, she retracted her memory, anyway, they all ended up the same way.

Therefore, she felt a little closer to Jiang Mingzhi now, “I was admitted to Beijing University.”

“Good! Good! Good!” Jiang Mingzhi said repeatedly, “Good school!”

At this time, a sharp braking sound came from downstairs, the footsteps and conversations that were getting closer, carried a tense atmosphere.

Jiang Mingzhi stood on the balcony and looked down, seeing the police car, he smiled coldly, “If that little bastard comes again, don’t be polite, just call your cousin!”

He said, then took out the pen and paper he always carried with him, scribbled a few strokes, tore it off and gave it to her, saying gently, “Uncle and cousin’s phone number, address, you take it, uncle has something to do and has to leave first.”

He had come back this time for work and couldn’t delay too long.

“I’ll see you off.” Sheng Weixia escorted him downstairs.

Jiang Mingzhi looked at his niece, her every move was more generous and appropriate than Gu Qingwei, he was both relieved and a little confused.

Logically, the man downstairs didn’t seem like the kind of person who could raise such a daughter.

But soon he was downstairs and he reconciled it—

Of course, it was because she had their Jiang family blood in her veins, otherwise, even with Gu Qingwei’s meticulous upbringing, she still had a petty air?

Sheng Danyan was being dragged onto the police car, everyone saw her and their gazes shifted to her.

Sheng Weixia calmly sent her uncle out of the yard, unexpectedly passing by Yu Shi who was standing tall at the entrance of the yard.

He came too?

She was about to turn around, suddenly a voice fell on her head, “Well done.”

At some point, Yu Shi had walked behind her.

Yu Shi smelled the faint scent of mugwort on her, his gaze lingered for a moment.

“Thank you.” Sheng Weixia took half a step back and said politely.

She didn’t think that after their brief encounter last time, they had any kind of relationship.

This detachment was felt by Yu Shi, he subtly furrowed his brow.

“Why don’t you come in and sit down?” From a considerable distance, Sheng Weixia saw Gu Qingwei’s probing gaze.

Yu Shi bowed slightly, “The gift has been delivered, I should be going.”

“Then have a good trip, goodbye.” Sheng Weixia waved her hand and turned to go inside.

But Yu Shi handed over a brown paper envelope, “Introduction to departments and majors at Beijing University, I thought you might need it.”

He actually remembered what she said casually last time?

Sheng Weixia couldn’t help but look at him again, his future achievements were not just because of his family background.

The Yu family certainly provided a high starting point, but he himself was also excellent.

See, even a stranger he met by chance could accurately remember the other person’s needs.

She was still too dependent on intuition and first impressions when judging people.

“What are you thinking about?” Yu Shi took a step closer and handed the envelope to her.

“Thank you.” Sheng Weixia was not ungrateful, she thanked him and took it.

She opened it and found that it was an internal publication issued by Beijing University to its faculty and staff, she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows in surprise.

“I hope it’s useful to you.” Yu Shi achieved his goal, took a step back and walked to the car, opening the door.

A Jiu lowered the window and nodded to her in greeting before starting the car.

After the car turned smoothly onto the main road, A Jiu looked at Yu Shi in the rearview mirror, feeling that he didn’t seem to be in a very good mood.

How could that be?

He had clearly delivered the things to the person and she had thanked him, what else could he want?

Just as he was thinking, the person in the back seat said coldly, “Go check on that Sheng.”

“Okay.”

Okay, he’d better not speculate, work was more important.

Sheng Weixia took the book back to the living room, because of Sheng Danyan’s disruption, many people had already left, there were not many people left, Gu Qingwei came up to her, “Sister, did uncle leave?”

“Yeah.” She continued walking towards the stairs, just as she was about to step on it, Gu Qingwei spun around and came to her, “Sister, when did you meet Brother Yu Shi?”

Her gaze fell on the book Sheng Weixia was holding in her chest.

Sheng Weixia smiled, “Did you forget? It was last time, because of you and his sister.”

She walked past her and continued upstairs.

Most of the people present had been to Yu Shulan’s party last time, she said so, everyone remembered what happened last time, their gazes towards Gu Qingwei changed slightly.

She walked a few steps and felt a little self-deprecating, she was really going back in time, this kind of thing was worth getting worked up about.

Sure enough, Gu Qingwei bit her lower lip, full of self-blame, “It wasn’t intentional last time, I’m sorry, sister…”

Sheng Weixia waved her hand and didn’t look at her anymore.

Gu Desheng finally had time to call back at this moment, Gu Qingwei didn’t dare to say that Sheng Danyan had come in front of everyone, she just told them to come home quickly.

Thus, this farewell party for her departure to study abroad was completely over.

Gu Desheng and his wife returned home and saw that the house was empty, they touched the DVD player, it was cold.

He immediately said curiously, “Why did it end so early? Didn’t you prepare a VCD Hong Kong film? Did you not like the food, or did the two Yu sisters leave early? Where’s your sister?”

Gu Qingwei looked tired, she closed her eyes, “Xue Ling came, Shulan didn’t come, Yu Shi came to deliver a gift on her behalf. Dad, I think I messed up…”

“What did you mess up, Yu Shi came on behalf of his sister, isn’t that good?” Gu Desheng looked at the gifts piled on the sofa.

It was easy to find Yu Shi’s gift.

Among all the pink gift bags, the high-class champagne-colored bag that Yu Shi brought was unique.

But when it was opened, it was a little disappointing, inside was a box of tea from the special Yan Yu Jiang Nan brand.
