Chapter 87 I’m afraid I’ll break my promise again

Seeing that title, Cheng Shengxuan got goose bumps all over his body and felt a chill.

With a look of disgust, he threw the note into the tea stove in the house, and washed his hands afterward.

"This Chu Yuan is really disgusting!"

"Who has any old relationship with him?!"

Then he went back to the window and looked out.

It seems there is news about that person.

…

Modern, the top floor of Cheng Group Building.

"Boss, the trending search has been removed."

Cheng Sitao nodded slightly.

"One more thing."

Assistant Chen's voice was a little hesitant.

"Xia Ke found me and said that Miss An asked him to help find out who removed the trending search. How should we respond to her?"

Cheng Sitao sighed and leaned back in his chair.

"Let Xia Ke hold off for a few days while I think about it."

After Assistant Chen left the office, he took out a photo from the drawer. The little baby in the photo had red lips and white teeth, grinning happily, just like the lucky doll in the New Year picture.

This photo was taken secretly by Assistant Chen on the day when An Luo said he was taking Yu An to buy a car.

Cheng Sitao stroked the little guy's face in the photo with his index finger.

"I don't know if the time here is the same as in Dayin. I promised to spend Yu'an's birthday with him."

Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"This year, I broke my promise again..."

——

At night, Yu An was lying on the warm kang, watching the ancient poetry animation playing in the air.

After a short story of several minutes, ancient poetry was recited.

The little guy opened and closed his mouth, and so as not to disturb the guard uncle who was keeping watch outside, he followed in a low voice.

"A good rain knows when to fall…"

On the other hand, the ups and downs of the broadcasting tone when reciting ancient poems on the tablet were mixed with the soft and tender voice of the baby.

An Luo smiled knowingly, turned over on the bed, and slowly closed his eyes.

It's really nice to accompany my baby as he grows up day by day.

…

A dozen miles away in Beihuang City, in the City Lord's Mansion.

It was already time for bed in the past, but tonight Yijiang did not go to sleep after washing up, but messed up his luggage.

"How come there isn't one?"

The servant who was serving on the side didn't dare to say anything, let alone disturb the master and the adults, so he had to call the housekeeper.

As soon as Butler Zhao entered the room, he saw the mess on the floor and Yi Jiang sitting there rummaging through clothes. His eyelids twitched immediately.

"Hey, my little ancestor, what's wrong with you?"

Yijiang turned his head and looked over, and saw a piece of underwear on his head.

"Butler Zhao, my toy is missing."

Butler Zhao first took the clothes off his head, then quickly helped him stand up.

"Isn't it just a toy? Butler Zhao will ask someone to buy one for the young master tomorrow."

"You can't buy it!"

Yijiang stamped his feet in anxiety.

"That was given to me by Yu An!"

Butler Zhao thought about it and asked tentatively.

"Maybe it's still at Cheng's house and you forgot to bring it back?"

"Yes."

Yijiang scratched the back of his head.

"Gu Shang helped me pack my luggage."

Butler Zhao turned around and told the servant to call Gu Shang over.

If we don't get things straightened out, this little ancestor won't be able to rest peacefully tonight.

Soon, Gu Shang arrived.

"Gu Shang, when you were helping me pack my luggage today, did you see a small box with a little man painted on it in bright colors?"

Gu Shang lowered his eyes to hide the strangeness in his eyes.

"It's that little box. I saw it next to the small square table, a little far from your bag. I thought it belonged to the little kid from the Cheng family, so I didn't put it in the bag."

Yijiang frowned tightly, his cheeks puffed up, and he breathed heavily through his nostrils.

I want to get angry!

The butler and the servant standing by secretly glanced at his appearance.

One person silently moved the cups, plates and porcelain utensils nearby, and the other person quietly stood a little further away.

However, the next second, Yijiang's shoulders drooped like a deflated ball.

Uncle Gu Shang had saved him, and it was his fault in the first place for not putting his things away properly, so he couldn't blame others.

Gu Shang's eyes flashed and he said.

"Otherwise, I'll go to the Cheng family and get it back for you?"

Yijiang subconsciously wanted to nod, but shook his head instead.

"It's too late. Yu'an and the others must have gone to bed. It would be bad to disturb them so late at night."

"How about this, you take my sign and go out of town to get it tomorrow morning."

Gu Shang took the badge and bowed.

"yes."

The servant standing by was filled with envy when he saw that the young master did not get angry but spoke to Gu Shang so calmly.

I heard that Gu Shang was a relative of a criminal, but because he saved the young master twice, he was arranged to be a guard in the City Lord's Mansion.

Moreover, on weekdays, whether it was the master, Lord Chen, or Butler Zhao, they were all very polite and tolerant to him.

Even the most domineering young master in the City Lord's Mansion, who used to listen to the master, the adults, and the housekeeper Zhao the most, now has to add Gu Shang to his list.

How come he didn't get such a good opportunity?

He wasn't greedy, just once would be fine.

…

In the study room in the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion.

Thinking of what happened during the day, Chen Ying's face became increasingly gloomy, and the coldness around him became more and more obvious.

Standing in front of him was a man of medium build, ordinary looks, and estimated to be around thirty years old.

Seeing his expression like this, the man was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Master Chen, what do you want me to do?"

Chen Ying glanced at him.

"I was indeed inconsiderate when I entrusted the task of buying food to you."

"But I didn't expect you to do such a good job and actually buy so much food. Moreover, I have checked and the quality of that batch of food is good."

Zhao Kuan swallowed nervously, raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and gave him a foolish smile with a flattering look.

"Master Chen, you really have to humble me. This is what I should do."

Chen Ying narrowed his eyes and glanced at his cloak.

"Is this dress you're wearing new? I've never seen you wear it before."

Hearing this, the hairs on Zhao Kuan's back stood up.

"this..."

"This collar looks like it's made of snow fox fur. As I recall, the Snow Cloud Fox is a species of fox that is unique to Muyuan Country. It lives in the snowy mountains and is extremely difficult to catch. Its fur is also very expensive."

Almost every time he spoke, Zhao Kuan's body trembled.

Chen Ying saw it, but continued talking.

"It seems that the sweater business is really good during this period."

"But now that you have the money, you should also plan for your future. After all, you are the only relative that Butler Zhao has. If he sees you getting married and having children, I think he will be very happy."

Suddenly, Zhao Kuan fell to his knees with a thud.

"I have done something wrong, I know it, please forgive me!"

"oh?"

Chen Ying asked in an ambiguous tone.

"Then tell me, what did you do wrong?"

Zhao Kuan knelt on the ground and stammered as he told everything.

"At the beginning, I was ordered to go to Muyuan Country to sell sweaters. I met a wealthy businessman. It was said that he had a lot of connections. I thought that since I had just arrived, it would be easier to get things done if I had connections, so I made friends with him."

"He tried to probe me more than once, trying to find out how to make the sweater from me."

Chen Ying's eyes darkened and his hands on the table suddenly clenched.

"You told it out?!"
