Chapter 132 part1 (1/2)

“I’ll go off first.” Cen Shan said to the other guy and lady, “I’m meeting a friend, bye.”

The other party wanted Cen Shan to stay. She said, “I’m really not free. I’m going now.” After she finished speaking, she didn’t even care about the other two before leaving just like that.

Zhou Sheng said, “You go and look for sis-in-law. I’ll take some more pictures.”

Yu Hao hurried downstairs. Cen Shan said, “I’m here, where are you looking?”

Yu Hao said, “Sis-in-law!”

Cen Shan went over to loop her arm around Yu Hao’s, then walked towards the second floor. She took off her little red cap and said, “This is too much of a coincidence. Let’s go, what do you want? Jie will buy clothes for you.”

Yu Hao was afraid of involving Cen Shan, “I don’t want to buy clothes…What’s your relationship with them?”

Cen Shan said, “Then let’s eat dessert bei. From the neighbouring class, not familiar. I hitched a ride on a friend’s private jet on my way back, and I got to know her on the plane. She insisted on getting me to accompany her out shopping on her birthday, yet a man I didn’t know popped up too from somewhere, and she didn’t even tell me in advance. Laoniang was in a bad mood in the first place, yet she still wanted to introduce me to her friend.”

Yu Hao thought, phew, but something’s not right?

“When did you come back? Yu Hao asked.

“Christmas.” Cen Shan answered, “My dad has a project in Beijing, so I didn’t go back. I heard that you were in Beijing and wanted to ask you out for a meal. There’s something I had to find you for.”

Previously, Cen Shan was in a group chat with them, but it was unknown when Cen Shan started hardly speaking in the chat.

“What are you guys doing?” Cen Shan asked, “Taking street photographs?”

Yu Hao briefly talked about his and Zhou Sheng’s affairs in recent months. Cen Shan said, “Does the private investigator firm hire people like me? I want to go there too!”

Yu Hao said, “It’s very tiring! You’re either crouching by flower beds or catching those in affairs. My legs are about to break.”

Cen Shan said, “But that’s still better than standing on a wooden box and waving your hands like a lunatic all day okay? I’ve trained them so much they look like Qilin arms now! Look!” As she spoke, she showed Yu Hao her arms.

Yu Hao said, “You’re not going back to see Gege?”

Cen Shan said helplessly, “What do you think? I’m leaving on the 5th.”

Zhou Sheng jogged back, “Sis-in-law, sis-in-law! I want to eat chocolate fondue! I’m finally seeing you again, so I need to rip a good meal off of you!”

Cen Shan smiled as she got up, then went to the counter to order chocolate fondue for them. Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao looked at each other. Yu Hao quickly waved his hand before Zhou Sheng nodded, feeling reassured.

Cen Shan said, “I was looking for you, Zhou Sheng. You gave the big guy 400,000 to open a shop?”

Zhou Sheng was looking at the camera in his hand and uttered an “un“, “Why?”

Cen Shan frowned, “That won’t do.”

Zhou Sheng looked at Yu Hao to signal ‘quick, it’s your turn now’. Yu Hao said, “I was the one who lent it to him.”

“What’s your account number?” Cen Shan said, “I’ll transfer it to you. Consider me a new shareholder ba.”

Zhou Sheng said, “Sis-in-law!”

Cen Shan, “It’s fine as long as you don’t tell him. Yu Hao, listen to Jiejie, send me your account number.”

Yu Hao didn’t say anything and remained stubborn. In any case, it was pretty good to be awkward once in awhile. Everyone could separate from their environment for a moment, while you look at me and I look at you. It wasn’t easy for Yu Hao to choke out the sentence, “The gym just started earning money, I won’t give you any shares.”

“Who the hell are you trying to deceive?!” Cen Shan said, “Xia Lei came to Beijing too. I bumped into him at a real estate meeting yesterday…Ah thank you, the two of you can eat the chocolate fondue by yourselves. The big guy suffered 100,000 in losses. Behave, that’s Zhou Sheng’s dowry. You two still have to buy a house in Beijing, it isn’t worthwhile to torment yourselves with that foolish big guy. Just don’t tell him.”

Yu Hao looked at Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng fiddled with his camera and still didn’t speak.

Yu Hao, “It’s really okay, we don’t lack that…”

Cen Shan, “Tell him when the time comes that I’m the one who invested that money, so if he loses it, then so be it. But if the two of you are the ones who invested it, he would definitely think of a way to return it…I’m afraid that he’d end up losing all the money and end up doing something stupid.”

“Sis-in-law.” Zhou Sheng said, “You’re the one in the wrong this time.”

Cen Shan stopped talking.

Yu Hao placed an ice cream bar in the chocolate fondue . Zhou Sheng had taken him to eat this twice before, and he had wanted to go long ago, but it was too expensive, so he couldn’t bear to. But now Cen Shan was treating them and had even ordered two portions. After they finished one, another one was quickly ordered.

“Eat slowly, your stomach might get cold.” Cen Shan said to Yu Hao.

“There’s no use changing the subject.” Zhou Sheng put away his camera, “When we were in different cities, Gege always told me to come to Beijing to look for Yu Hao. Even if this makes me sound like a pain in the ass, I have to say it.”

Cen Shan said grumpily, “I got it.”

“What did you get?” Zhou Sheng said, “Say it ah.”

Cen Shan took a deep breath and didn’t want to look at Zhou Sheng. Yu Hao used his gaze to signal to Zhou Sheng, don’t mess around in other couple’s affairs.

“I really envy you both.” Cen Shan suddenly said.

“You can too.” Zhou Sheng took out his phone, used WeChat and sent the photos to his colleagues. His work had ended for the day. Yu Hao fed him ice cream.

“I’m dead tired.” Cen Shan said, “Zhou Sheng, do you know how tiring it is for me in Vienna alone? I get looked down on everywhere I go, and I get ostracised too. My dad’s just a nouveau riche, so if they don’t bully me, who else will they bully? After I finish my classes everyday, I’m so tired, I don’t even have the strength to bathe, but I still have to read and learn German by myself. Do you understand that?”

Zhou Sheng said, “I understand.”

Yu Hao said, “I understand it so well.”

Cen Shan heaved a prolonged sigh. Zhou Sheng said, “But what do you want him to do? You’ll have to eventually draw a line ba.”

Cen Shan said, “I don’t know. I don’t even know what I want in my life, but you two look like you do.”

Yu Hao, “Do you love him?”

Cen Shan said grumpily, “I do.”

Zhou Sheng looked down and fiddled around with his phone for a bit, “ID.”

Cen Shan, “What?”

“I said, what’s your ID?” Zhou Sheng said.

Yu Hao, “Ai hold on, I think I have it! I have it!”

“What do you guys want to do?” Cen Shan frowned.

Yu Hao recalled that he had helped Cen Shan buy a train ticket once, so her passenger information was still in the system. Cen Shan said, “Stop it……”

Zhou Sheng took Yu Hao’s phone and sat at one side. Cen Shan got up and wanted to go over, but Yu Hao uttered an “aiya“.

Cen Shan hurriedly said, “Did you get burnt? Sorry, I’m sorry.” Yu Hao was feigning it to cooperate with Zhou Sheng and stall Cen Shan, but Cen Shan was afraid that the chocolate fondue had spilled onto Yu Hao and quickly wiped him with a tissue.
