Chapter 132 old acquaintance

Butler Yang took Zhou Shu downstairs and all the way to the lobby downstairs: "Miss Zhou, please sit in the lobby for a while, and I'll ask the lady to accompany you."

Zhou Shu smiled slightly, but actually wanted to say that it was not necessary.

It's just that it's not a rude thing to be in someone else's house.

The servant replied: "Sorry, Miss Zhou, our lady went out today and happened not to be at home."

Zhou Shu sneered and said lightly: "It doesn't matter, I can just walk by myself."

She knew clearly in her heart that the servant had been gone for so long. If he hadn't been there, he would have come down long ago.

To put it bluntly, Yu Yao was simply at home and was just deliberately disgusting herself.

It's just no wonder that Yu Yao is not as good as Pei Wei and can only run away, giving Pei Wei the opportunity to intervene for so many years.

Even if you don't like the daughter of a wealthy family, you still have to do your best to save face, at least without losing the most basic etiquette.

Sure enough, Yu Yao was a little less enthusiastic than Pei Wei, but this had nothing to do with her. No matter what happened to Yu Yao, it was her business.

Zhou Shu had nothing to do, so he just went out for a walk.

The decoration of the Yu family is indeed unique, and Zhou Shu thinks it looks good.

She was walking around in the yard, thinking wildly, when someone suddenly stopped her from behind: "Shu Shu?"

There was also a bit of uncertainty in his words. The moment Zhou Shu turned his head and looked over, the uncertainty disappeared.

"It's really you!" The man stepped forward with a smile and stopped in front of Zhou Shu.

When Zhou Shu saw this face, he immediately thought: "Brother Yu Yan? You are here too."

Yu Yan smiled brightly: "Shu Shu, when I looked at the back just now, I wondered if I had seen it wrong. It's really you."

His eyes were full of surprise, and he stared at Zhou Shu unobtrusively.

"Long time no see." Zhou Shu curled his lips bitterly.

Yu Yan is the legitimate son of the Yu family, that is, Yu Yao's cousin. In addition, he is also the student of his younger uncle.

Seeing him, Zhou Shu would inevitably think of his uncle, and naturally he couldn't face it calmly.

This is not the first time Zhou Shu has come to the Yu family. The last time he came was a long time ago, his uncle brought him here.

When he was a child, Zhou Shu liked to follow his elder brother Yu Yan, but Yu Yan went abroad not long after, and he has not been seen since.

"Are you... okay?" Yu Yan stared at Zhou Shu eagerly with pity in his eyes.

His eyes were scorching, but there was also a strong concern: "I have already heard about Teacher Pei. Please express my condolences. I know that you have a good relationship with Teacher Pei."

"I've come out and I'm not so sad anymore." Zhou Shu smiled slightly, but the smile was far-fetched.

Yu Yan could see through it at a glance: "I know you are sad. With so many things happening in the Pei family, it must be difficult for you. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time."

Zhou Shu did not answer, but responded with a smile: "Actually, I'm living really well now, and I don't need any help, but thank you anyway."

Seeing that she was unwilling to talk about his past, Yu Yan changed the subject: "Why are you here alone while I take you around?"

"Okay, I don't think I'm familiar with this place, so please take me for a walk."

As they walked, the two reminisced about old times, but they couldn't help but mention Pei Xi during their conversation, and Zhou Shu's expression froze.

Seeing her reaction, Yu Yan couldn't hold it back. "So have you found out the cause of Teacher Pei's death now? How is the progress?"

Yu Yan knew best that Zhou Shu had deep feelings for Pei Xi. When Teacher Pei passed away, he also received the news, so he naturally knew that there was something abnormal.

There was a flash of panic on Zhou Shu's face, and he subconsciously waved his hands to deny: "What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean. Is there anything unusual about my uncle's death?"

Zhou Shu pretended to be confused, but there was still a bit of panic in his words.

This is in the Yu family. Of course Zhou Shu trusts Yu Yan, but that doesn't mean she trusts others. She's just afraid that the walls have ears.

At this moment, Yu Yao's unhappy voice came from not far away: "Ayan, you know that Zhou Shu coming here will cause trouble, why do you bring her with you? Do you care about her so much?"

Yu Yao curled her lips, these words were clearly meant for Li Jinyan.

But she said it so loudly that Zhou Shu still listened. Who could believe that she didn't mean it?
Yu Yan also heard it clearly, and lowered his voice and said to Zhou Shu: "She is just like this, don't take it to heart."

"I don't care."

At the same time, Mr. Yu's scolding voice sounded: "Yu Yao! Is this how grandpa taught you to talk?!"

Yu Yao opened her mouth to argue, but when she raised her eyes, she met Zhou Shu's slightly teasing eyes.

She was naturally unwilling to give in, and at the same time, her eyes quickly glanced at Yu Yan next to Zhou Shu.

The question of whether he was guilty or not was instantly thrown to the back of his mind, and he regained his arrogance.

"Zhou Shu, I didn't expect that you would be quite busy when you came to the Yu family, and you would still find time to catch up with old acquaintances."

Yu Yao's eyes were full of disdain, as if he had caught her cheating on her.

"Of course, you have to say hello when you see an acquaintance, so what's the point of avoiding them?" Zhou Shu responded with a smile without fear.

She is Yu Yao in the connotation of being upright, but Yu Yao is a mute who eats Coptis chinensis and cannot express her sufferings.

"Zhou Shu!" Yu Yao was indeed in a hurry, and it was Old Man Yu who coughed lightly before he called Yu Yao back.

Li Jinyan frowned. He didn't quite understand what they were talking about, especially Yu Yao. Could it be that the two of them knew each other before?
The man's eyes fell on Zhou Shu and Yu Yan with appraising eyes.

"It's quite a coincidence, Jin Yan, you don't know yet, right?" Li Jinyan was seen staring at the two of them.

Mr. Yu took the initiative to mention: "Yu Yan is the legitimate son of our Yu family. He has been studying abroad in the past few years. Not only that, he is also Pei Xi's favorite disciple."

"I see, no wonder." Li Jinyan's eyes lingered meaningfully on Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu smiled slightly, but didn't show it on his face, but he was cursing in his heart. He didn't think that he was like him, leaving a relationship for everyone.

"Miss Zhou won't forget, right? When you were a child, you loved to play with your cousin."

Yu Yao rolled her eyes, as if she suddenly caught something interesting and repeated it in front of Li Jinyan.

"Yes, but then Senior Brother Yu went abroad, and I saw less of him. We haven't contacted him for many years."

Zhou Shu calmly kept a distance from Yu Yan, clearly to avoid suspicion.

But Yu Yan didn't understand the relationship, so he continued: "It's been a long time since we last met. Shu Shu, you are Teacher Pei's niece and a good friend of mine. Even if we don't contact you, it won't affect our relationship."

Yu Yan stared at Zhou Shu with earnest eyes, as if he wanted to see a hole in her body.

With such a burning gaze, how could the people present not notice it?
Especially Li Jinyan, whose face became even more ugly, but still forced to smile.
