The girl on the opposite side should have just taken a shower, her hair was messy and drooping, and the ends were still a bit damp, and she casually draped it behind her.
She wore a pearl white suspender nightdress, with thin suspenders hanging on her straight and thin shoulders, her collarbone was delicate, and her shoulders were round.
The color of the nightdress was already extremely white, but when she wore it, it was still no different from the delicate milky white skin like cream.
She was lying on the bed, and the neckline of her pajamas hung loosely.
That touch of white was caught off guard.
When the soft light fell, every place and every inch was so clearly reflected in his eyes.
Shen Li also immediately sensed that something was wrong, and the moment Lu Huai got connected, she hurriedly stood up and sat up.
The camera shakes for a while.
After finally adjusting, the little girl's face was reflected in the camera again, and she was already well-behaved, as if nothing happened just now.
—if one ignores the tips of her crimson ears.
Both of them didn't speak, and they fell into some kind of ambiguous and subtle silence.
Shen Li suddenly felt that the room was a bit stuffy and hot.
Lu Huai and his Adam's apple rolled, covering the waves in the depths of his eyes, and broke the silence first:
"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"
I don't know if it was because the night was too dark, or the room was too quiet, but his voice sounded particularly deep and hoarse.
Shen Li felt her ears go numb, and the itching almost penetrated into her heart.
She quickly explained:
"I just wanted to call my second brother, but I made a mistake."
Don't answer the question.
As soon as she said this sentence, Shen Li regretted it.
Doesn't this make it even more obvious that I don't have three hundred taels of silver here!
Lu Huaihe was quiet for a moment, then laughed softly, with a conniving tone:
"Well, I know you didn't mean it."
Shen Li: "..."
How this seems to be even more inexplicable!
She took a deep breath, forced herself to forget the previous paragraph, and brought the topic back:
"I... I went to the gallery with the third uncle today."
Lu Huaiyu soon understood that she was talking about the one that Gu Tingyun specially built for her.
He nodded:
"Like it?"
Shen Li nodded, looked at him again, and said after deliberation:
"In addition, I saw the news about the Yu family. The third uncle said that the cooperation with the Yu family will be cancelled. In addition... he said that the second brother is also very busy recently..."
Lu Huai and now finally knew why she made this call.
In fact, after the Yu family had an accident, he knew that with her intelligence, she would guess it sooner or later.
Unexpectedly, Gu Sanye took the initiative to mention it.
But it doesn't matter, what matters is the result.
"Just for this?" He chuckled lazily, "I thought Miss Shen hadn't seen me for a while and missed me."
The Yu family has already turned the world upside down, but the behind-the-scenes pushers are more calm than the other.
When Shen Li heard his words, she knew that there were some things that needn't be said, but after thinking about it, she still asked:
"When did the second brother get in touch with the third uncle?"
After all, the Yu family has a big business, and the reason why it collapsed so quickly this time is obviously the result of being forced by many parties.
"Unrelated."
Lu Huai laughed and said,
"It's just a coincidence."
It just so happened that he planned to attack the Yu family, and Gu Sanye also had the same idea.
Some time ago, the Yu family's internal strife intensified. It was rumored in the circle that Gu Tingyun was going to cooperate with Yu Feng. Some even saw Gu Sanye's special assistant entering and leaving Yu Feng's office, and the wind blew very hard.
With such a battle, many people believed it.
Including Yu Ming.
It happened that he was dealing with Yu's real estate, which was the last hole card Yu Ming held in his hand.
Such a good opportunity, what a pity to miss it.
Needless to say, sometimes, a tacit understanding of a common goal is enough.
Shen Li reacted for a moment, and immediately understood.
Too.
Whether it is Lu Huaiyu or Gu Tingyun, they are definitely not good friends.
It would be troublesome enough to provoke any one of these two, let alone the two of them teaming up.
She looked at Lu Huaiyu in the camera.
He should be in the study of Rongyue Mansion, with two buttons on the collar of his black shirt unbuttoned, cold and luxurious.
She exhaled lightly:
"Thank you, brother."
Although both Gu Tingyun and Lu Huaiyu said it was a trivial matter, she knew in her heart that of course it wasn't.
Lu Huai raised his eyebrows and chuckled:
"So solemn?"
Shen Li nodded, thinking of the painting she had drawn before.
After she showed the painting to Mei Yanqing and Yu Pingchuan that day, they asked her if she was going to auction it off, and she said she planned to keep it for herself.
But now... perhaps it would be appropriate to say thank you for that painting.
The corners of her lips are slightly curved, and her eyes are clear:
"In addition, I have prepared a thank you gift for my second brother, and I will send it to my second brother when I return to the capital."
Lu Huaiyu didn't need the little girl's thanks, after all, he naturally wanted to protect his people.
But, if the little girl insists on giving a thank you gift...
He responded with a smile: "Okay."
After solving this matter, Shen Li planned to hang up the phone.
"Second brother, if there is nothing else, I will hang up first?"
Lu Huai said "um".
Shen Li waved at him: "Second brother go to bed early."
Lu Huai said, "Go to sleep first."
Shen Li was slightly stunned: "Second brother still has work to do? It's very late now."
Lu Huaihe's efficiency has always been very high. In my impression, he is rarely busy at this time.
Lu Huai raised his brows slightly, and just looked at her like that, with a half-smile.
"You know it's late too?"
Shen Li: "..."
Her face slowly turned red.
Lu Huaiyu saw that her face was blushing, and then laughed.
It's rare, but I still know that I have a guilty conscience.
He said:
"Be obedient and go to sleep."
Shen Li obediently responded: "Oh. Good night, second brother."
Finally hung up.
Lu Huaiyu put down the phone, leaned back in the chair, and closed his eyes.
However, as soon as he closed his eyes, the scene that broke into his line of sight just now kept coming to his mind clearly.
He opened his eyes, but only felt the restlessness in his heart grow stronger.
He unbuttoned another button of his shirt, but he still felt hot.
He glanced at his phone again.
Well, the little ancestor only knew how to light a fire, so he probably fell asleep right now.
Little heartless.
After a while, he finally got up and headed for the bathroom.
