In fact, up to now, no one is in the mood to carefully observe whether Brother Shuang's expression is realistic.
Mrs. Gracie was shot and was dragged for a while by Serif. In order to avoid exposing her body to the sight of the sniper, she had to look for shelter as much as possible when moving. Doing all kinds of difficult postures that test the coordination of the body muscles to the extreme, the already serious injuries will naturally be worsened.
Serif's contempt for Mrs. Gracie's weight was not intentional to find fault and ridicule, he was really weak.
Don’t think that it’s really effortless for the male protagonist on TV to hug a princess casually. More than 100 kilograms of weight are hung on the two arms that are stretched out flat. Straight or sharp angles... Serif's small body was originally a technical route, and all kinds of provocations and previous convictions were completed under the condition that intelligence compensated for force. So when this happens, he really can't hide the situation.
In fact, Serif felt that his small universe had exploded if he could drag such a heavy woman.
"You're finally here!"
Not to mention how pleasant Serif was when he saw Ye Shuang.
Not only was he struggling just now, but he was also struggling with his brain. The three-dimensional coordinates of a small coffee shop were calculated countless times in an instant by Serif, and after many turns and turns, Mrs. Gracie was safely dragged behind the counter.
At this time, the coffee shop was already in a mess, and there were not many things broken by the sniper shooting, but the screaming and panicked running of the guests who came knocked down many tables and chairs.
Wiping the sweat off his face vigorously, he felt that the sniping finally stopped, and someone ran in at the door, and even the door and curtains were closed. Only then did Serif dare to poke his head out from behind the counter, and hurriedly greeted Ye Shuang and the two who came in: "Ye, and... that big black man, call an ambulance."
"Are you sure?" Ye Shuang asked Serif, but her eyes turned to Howard, who also possessed acting skills: "This is a gunshot wound. I don't think Mrs. Gracie would want to take notes in the hospital."
Going to the hospital means that the injury will be left in the law enforcement department without concealment. From the type of bullet to the reason for being sniped, etc., even if Mrs. Gracie wants to calm the situation afterwards, I am afraid that things will not go so smoothly.
On the contrary, if it is handled by your own personal doctor, you will have a lot of room for maneuver when you are questioned by the police. Lawyers and the embassy have always been the most hated species by the police, not one of them. As long as there is not enough absolute evidence. There are many sensitive questions that Mrs. Gracie could refuse to answer.
And more importantly, as soon as Gracie's personal doctor came forward, it meant that Ye Shuang, her hidden power in Fengyuan City, could also find out one or two along the way. Although these are information that Howard also knows, Ye Shuang doesn't think that this person will honestly explain to himself and others...
As soon as Ye Shuang finished speaking, she looked coldly at the loyal "Taixi" who carried Mrs. Gracie out from behind the counter with no expression on her face. Although the latter had lost a lot of blood and had been tossed for so long, he still did not faint. He gasped in "Taixi"'s arms before reluctantly saying, "I have a doctor." She has nothing left to do now. It’s time to think about what Ye Shuang said just now—for example, “Mrs. Gracie probably wouldn’t want to go to the hospital to take notes.” It’s really just out of her personality considerations, and there are no other hidden metaphors. What do you mean? !
If it were normal times, with Mrs. Gracie's shrewdness, she would definitely not simply let go of this detail without suspicion.
As the considerate little cotton trousers who immediately extended a helping hand to his mother, Serif was a little embarrassed by Ye Shuang's slightly playful eyes. Not only embarrassed, but also vaguely ashamed.
In order to maintain my own principles, so as not to fall in the eyes of others... Behold, it was that poor child. His mother abandoned him, but he still longed for the tragic image of maternal love... Serif could only calmly act as if nothing had happened: "I just... uh, do me a favor. After all, the situation at that time , I'm in the same danger next to Mrs. Gracie, so I just take refuge together or something... that. Do you know what I mean?"
"I understand, I understand." Brother Shuang sighed and patted Serif. Looking into the expectant eyes of the other party: "It's just a subconscious choice and judgment, you don't have to feel ashamed of it."
Serif frowned: "You really don't understand at all!!"
…
Mrs. Gracie was sent back to the villa and pushed into the operating room. Afterwards, the police came to the door and asked to investigate what happened, and hoped that Mrs. Gracie would cooperate with the record and the like.
In a gun-ban country like country c, any case involving firearms is undoubtedly a major case, especially sniping is even more rare. Not to mention the issues related to the case itself, even the channels through which the snipers obtained the firearms are issues that need to be focused on and investigated in the eyes of the police.
But just as Ye Shuang expected, it was absolutely impossible for Mrs. Gracie to quietly cooperate with the investigation.
Before she left the operating room, the lawyer who had been waiting in the villa like the doctor had already stood up. Next, from the legal terms to the foreign status, the lawyer talked eloquently and refused to budge, and resolutely blocked all the policemen from the villa... With Mrs. Gracie's current physical condition, and the lawyers who are ready to make up for the omissions, I think To pretend to be in a coma to delay time or something, the conditions are quite sufficient.
The police hated leaving, so they could only go back and inspect the scene carefully. Unfortunately, the fact that someone was sniped here can be confirmed repeatedly at the scene, and the other evidence that can be found is not particularly indicative...
…
"As a law-abiding citizen, I shouldn't be watching you two crooked nuts doing whatever you want in our country."
Ye Shuang sighed, standing on the second floor of the villa and looking at the backs of the criminal policemen returning home, she couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
Serif curled his lips: "Then what do you want? I hate these things that keep making people trouble, but at critical moments...for example, when you really want to catch someone...but it's useless at all, you can only A tax thief who has been tossing around for a few days and then letting people go obediently!"
"There is always a time to catch a tell-tale. At least the spirit of the person is commendable. You can't just watch the villains rampant just because you don't have a clue." Ye Shuang said righteously.
Serif frowned and looked at Brother Shuang: "You have such a sense of justice?"
"The main reason is to see the villain at large, especially I am still in the camp of this villain. So I feel very unhappy." Ye Shuang shrugged, walked away from the window, walked to the sofa and sat down, poured himself a glass of water : "But Serif, I'm really surprised that you would take the initiative to save Mrs. Gracie."
According to Ye Shuang's previous cognition and judgment. Serif's relatives should have gone from longing and anticipation to disappointment and resentment.
How much I was looking forward to finding a family reunion, but how desperate I was after knowing the truth.
Under such circumstances, even if you don't talk about revenge and hostility, you will devote the rest of your life to the cause of embarrassing your mother. But at least they will stand on the sidelines, after seeing what unlucky things happened to the other party. A very consoling gloat of "retribution"... At least that's how Serif has always behaved before today's events.
"Blood is thicker than water, really? I didn't expect you to be such a kind and sentimental person." Ye Shuang came to a conclusion in disbelief, looking at Serif, she felt that she had to re-judge her.
Serif obviously did not agree with Ye Shuang's statement. After hearing these words, he immediately made a disgusted expression: "You mean to say that I still care about her? Don't be kidding Already!"
right. That's the tone! That's the attitude!
It was because the other party's attitude was so firm before that Ye Shuang decisively judged that Serif did not have any kindness towards Mrs. Gracie. But what happened later was just the opposite...
Ye Shuang pondered for a long time before switching to Chinese: "The mouth is too straight..."
"Huh?" Serif didn't understand such a modern Internet language.
Ye Shuang smiled mischievously, and when she was about to explain in detail to the other party, "Taixi" just opened the door and came in from the outside: "Mr. Please come with me."
"No need, I'll go back to the hotel." Serif was the first to reject the other party's kindness.
Ye Shuang didn't move or speak. She knew there must be more to come.
Sure enough, "Tessie" glanced at Serif calmly, and said again in a calm tone: "Mr. Serif was also in the coffee shop at that time. Although there were no cameras nearby, I think the police should be able to find out from other What did the eyewitnesses ask at the scene... Your reputation is not small, and you have a case that has just been dismissed before. Under such circumstances, you still insist on going back to the hotel? Now that the police may come to ask you for questioning at any time ?”
"..."
As expected, Serif stopped when he was about to leave, and then cursed a few words in a low voice. Turning back with a cold face: "I'll stay!"
"Taixi" nodded, and then looked at Ye Shuang.
Brother Shuang spread his hands indifferently and said, "I'll stay here too." His own face was too representative. Although he is not a foreigner, the degree of recognition is not much lower than that of foreigners: "But it is only for one night. Tomorrow my friend will help me ask a lawyer to explain."
Brother Han's hands and eyes are open to the sky, and the result can probably be negotiated in one night. If it's not good enough, it's a big deal to choose a gender to avoid the limelight, otherwise, even if she lives with Mrs. Gracie, Ye Shuang will still be in danger of being exposed... unless she is willing to kiss the only woman here.
…
After the big black man settled the two guests, the next basic necessities of life were naturally taken care of by bodyguards.
The effect of Mrs. Gracie's anesthetic faded after two hours. After she regained consciousness, although she couldn't stand up immediately to deal with the follow-up, at least she could handle some simple problems.
When Mrs. Gracie was awake, "Tessie" was beside her. She glanced at her loyal subordinate. Mrs. Gracie was a little cold: "Find out this matter."
The black man nodded silently, indicating that he would deal with this problem himself.
After explaining the matter in such a sentence, Mrs. Gracie seemed to no longer care about the detailed situation, and she was not worried that her subordinates would not be able to find out. Instead, she let out a long sigh of relief, frowned, and struggled to move. A bit of the body.
"Tessie" still stepped forward silently, helped Mrs. Gracie move her body and massaged her stiff muscles.
Mrs. Gracie's frowning brows gradually relaxed. She felt more comfortable before she spoke slowly. The first sentence was not about Ye Shuang, who she always cared about, but an unexpected response in this performance. Serif: "That thief... who the hell do you think he is?"
Serif's previous reaction was too surprising, even if the situation was tense. Mrs. Gracie couldn't think of that much at the moment. But after being idle now, the previous problems inevitably resurfaced.
"His resentment at my accusation did not seem to be false, I could see it. But if that is the case, why did he help me afterward?"
Rather than asking, Mrs. Gracie was talking to herself. She didn't expect her subordinate with facial paralysis to answer this question at all. Just sorting out his thoughts subconsciously: "Deliberately approaching Ye, and being so angry after my threat... I felt that he was in a strange mood at that time, as if he had suffered some kind of humiliation, or seemed extremely disappointed..."
As if an answer was about to emerge in her mind, Mrs. Gracie frowned, her voice gradually lowered. Take out the places that I thought were contradictory before and play them back over and over again.
"Get close to Ye Shuang, but not for theft..."
"Like me, I have the desire to communicate with each other, but I don't know the purpose..."
"Both disgusting and disinterested..."
"both repulsive and close to..."
Mrs. Gracie muttered for a long time, then suddenly frowned after a while, and subconsciously blurted out: "Does he love me?"
"Tessie" made a jerk. Under the cover of the mask, the corners of the mouth twitched unconsciously—the previous reasoning and judgment were correct, but what happened to the last judgment
"By the way, it should be love!" Mrs. Gracie seemed to have finally come to the answer, but at the same time she was a little unbelievable: "I don't think there is any other feeling that can be so contradictory."
"..." No, in fact, there is also a wolf-hearted mother and a son who struggles with advances and retreats.
Ye Shuang hesitated for half a second while knocking on the door, not sure if she should go in and visit at this time.
She just happened to pass by, and wanted to test if Howard had time by the way. If Mrs. Gracie hadn't woken up, it would be justifiable to call people out, in the name of inquiring about their injuries, and get some information... I didn't expect the plot to turn so horribly. It's a trivial matter for Mrs. Gracie to wake up. What's really scary is that the other party has come to such an incredible conclusion from Serif's tangled performance...
No, not right! If we only look at it from the perspective of "love", family affection can indeed be regarded as a kind.
Ye Shuang was hesitating, Serif who came out of the room to pour a glass of whiskey also passed behind her. Probe over strangely asked: "What are you doing here? Let's go have a drink together."
He felt that his mood was very bad, and his mind was a mess. Alcohol is urgently needed to soothe my fragile nerves.
Mrs. Gracie was very keen, and when she heard the movement outside the door, she raised her eyes and looked at "Tessie".
The latter is a bit tangled though. But he can't destroy his personality, so he still has a paralyzed face and acts out his comprehension, and consciously gets up and goes to the door to open the door.
So Ye Shuang and Serif at the door came into Mrs. Gracie's eyes.
Ye Shuang was fine, just pure concern and courtesy. And Serif's poor acting skills showed too many flaws in the eyes of Mrs. Gracie, an old Jianghu.
After being stunned for a moment, the other party became awkward, frowning with a look of disgust and disgust, but subconsciously paid attention to Mrs. Gracie's injury, so the state presented by the whole person was verified invisibly Mrs. Gracie's guess.
— Is it jealousy? Because the one he loves is another handsome man, that's why he treats him badly. But because the other party loves you, so you don't consciously care about it
It goes without saying that Mrs. Gracie's generation of romantic figures can perceive other people's emotions.
Moreover, she has seen all kinds of people. Even if she can't say that she can guess the character and psychological activities of others 100% of the time, she can at least have a 70% to 80% accuracy rate.
Although surprised by the fact that Serif fell in love with an old woman like herself, Mrs. Gracie quickly accepted this setting.
She glanced at the other party with complicated eyes. Mrs. Gracie, who had never obtained such selfless "love" from her lover or her previous four husbands, was a little confused for a while—this face can only be regarded as ordinary, although it is not so after looking at it for a long time. Can't stand it.
No ambition means no future, but it's not bad when it comes to ability.
It's a pity to give up a forest for a tree, but it's almost the same with the lights off anyway.
The age difference is a bit big, if the other party asks to have offspring. I'm afraid it will be a little difficult for me...
Accidentally opened her mind a little bigger, and when "Tessie" sat down to massage her arms again, Mrs. Gracie suddenly came back to her senses and motioned "Tessie" to help herself up. After laying on two pillows, he nodded slightly to Ye Shuang and the two: "Are you here to visit me? Don't worry about my situation. Please sit down, both of you."
"Hmph! I just wanted to come down and get a drink!"
Serif choked reflexively, thinking that he would confront him again, but this time Mrs. Gracie didn't intend to choke with him.
In fact, the other party just glanced at him calmly, glanced at him with a kind of insightful gaze of "I already know everything", and then said to "Tessie" next to him casually: "I remember wine There are some bottles of good vintage wine in the cupboard, which you take out to Mr Serif at dinner."
"Tessie" hesitated. She quickly nodded and got up to leave... The wine cabinet that Mrs. Gracie mentioned was not the ones displayed outside. Only in the locked oak cabinet in the basement was the wine Mrs. Gracie mentioned.
Serif froze for a moment, watching "Tessie" pass by him dumbfoundedly, and couldn't accept such a peaceful atmosphere for a while.
It was agreed to fall in love and kill each other... Bah! Did you say you didn't like each other? Could it be because I have saved her life. That's why you're so polite
It's not like that, Mrs. Gracie is so arrogant and arrogant, it doesn't look like she will humiliate just because of someone's help...
Serif struggled for a while, but Ye Shuang understood that this was probably the special tolerance and preferential treatment that women give to their "dedicated admirers"... There is a reason for all bad attitudes, and there is a reason for all finding faults and awkwardness.
Since you love me so much, it's okay for me to tolerate some of your temper... Mrs. Gracie probably has such a mentality.
Ye Shuang's facial features drifted a bit, and she couldn't imagine that Serif would know Mrs. Gracie's heartfelt... no. If Mrs. Gracie directly pointed it out to Serif, what would Serif think then
Mrs. Gracie really wanted to point it out to Serif, but since the other party didn't say this kind of thing. Naturally, she couldn't make judgments on her own to embarrass the other party.
What's more, there is a peerless brother Shuang next to him. Even if Serif really loves her, Mrs. Gracie thinks she can think about it more. The grace of saving life doesn't have to be promised by body. Besides, this kind of feeling is for a man who pays for herself. She is sure that the other party will not accept her emotional life... If it is really accepted, can the harem still be opened
This is a big problem!
So Mrs. Gracie cleared her throat. I can only maintain the status quo in a nonchalant tone: "Serif, I am very grateful for your help today. If there is any need in the future, I will also be happy to provide you with help within my ability."
Brother Shuang raised his eyebrows, did he intend to maintain an ambiguous rhythm
Serif pouted. Alienated and smirked: "Is there anything I can need Madam's help for? I know who you are, and you know who I am. Let's not meet each other in the future."
This meeting was terrible. After the initial impulse was interrupted by the sniper, now Serif has no idea of proving his identity to Mrs. Gracie.
So what if it's clear? The other party had no intention at all, and didn't even remember that there was a son of hers in this world.
I'm afraid that even if she proves herself with DNA testing, Mrs. Gracie will not take a so-called son who suddenly appeared seriously.
As long as he thought of this, Serif suddenly felt that his previous thoughts were simply stupid. Why did he have to stay and make a deal? If he had known that Mrs. Gracie was such a cold-blooded monster, why did he have to run into him once
For a moment, Serif was so disheartened that he waved his hands and didn't even bother to drink the wine. He turned around and wanted to go back to his room to fend for himself.
Mrs. Gracie frowned, and subconsciously called out to the other party: "Wait."
