苏三夜一向以出名的外表变幻莫测,最近也没有人听说过他回到海石的消息.那么,他是怎么突然突然出现的呢?
此时,他正靠在他的顶级限量版豪华车上,那辆车牌上全是 8 的车,在大灯的照耀下,他大步走了出来.光芒照在他的脸上,脸上露出一丝不耐烦——仿佛在等什么人.
卓航只是按照老板的命令送沈明下班,并不打算卷入这件看似相当私密的家事.但问题是...
沈明一脸冰冷,抓住他的手臂,低声说道:"卓助理,帮帮我.别走,我很害怕.
你到底害怕什么?你看起来害怕怎么样?
卓航能看出她脸上的不安,尤其是当苏三夜出现的时候.苏三夜和他们的老板不和已经很久了.沈明紧紧抓住卓航的胳膊,他们走到苏玉燕面前.看来,这对苏三夜来说是一件大事.他完全无视卓航,目光定格在沈明身上,冰冷而遥远,就像挂在天空中的新月.
当他盯着她时,沈明也回过头来.
苏家三少爷苏玉燕的脸蛋格外精致.他的肤色白皙得几乎像半透明一样,几年前,有传言说一家戏剧学院想招募他,仅仅是因为他的外表比大多数女性的都更迷人.最奇怪的是,他那双锐利的新月形眼睛看起来与她的眼睛惊人地相似——大约有八个部分相似.
"你是沈明?"观察了她一会儿,苏玉燕终于开口了.
他的声音与他英俊的脸庞不同,出乎意料地尖锐而刺耳,带有一种可以让人脊背发凉的强度.
沈明本能地后退了一步.卓航也跟了上去,也后退了半步.苏玉燕双腿修长优雅,从车上挪开,直起身来,向他们走来.
"我从来不知道我有一个失散多年的姐姐,"他继续说道,"卓助理,你不觉得这很有趣吗?
卓航彻底震惊了.他迅速将目光转向刚刚松开手臂的沈明.苏玉燕乍一看表现出的轻蔑,比她想象的要强烈.
显然,情况看起来并不好.沈明保持沉默,说话时声音冰冷."苏先生,您今天怎么来了?"
"呵呵,你应该问问很有趣,"苏玉燕冷笑道."苏家丢了一颗稀有的宝石,我是来捡的.你是说我应该等别人来做吗?
他狠狠地瞪了卓航一眼,第二次,卓航的心跳加速了一拍.他这话是什么意思呢?他有没有觉得沈明的突然出现是他们老板干的?
还有,沈明真的是苏家失去的长女吗?为什么以前没有人听说过她?
"苏先生,如果我告诉你,我只是路过,送沈明下车,就这样,你信我吗?"
苏玉燕冷冷地笑了笑.他的目光又回到了沈明身上.
"你还在等什么?老爷子特意要求见你.来吧,上车.
苏玉燕的压力是压倒性的.沈明知道她不能和他正面交锋,所以她决定保持冷静.
Before she got into the car, she paused with her hand on the door, thought for a moment, and then turned to Zhuo Hang. Her tone was deliberate, as she spoke louder than usual so everyone could hear.
"Zhuo Assistant, if Mr. Rong comes looking for me tomorrow, please tell him to come to the Su residence."
Her voice carried enough weight that even Su Yuyan, who had been standing there, narrowed his eyes sharply. He glanced at Zhuo Hang, who felt a bead of cold sweat form on his forehead.
What was going on here? The situation seemed to be getting stranger by the minute.
Shen Ming was taken to the Su residence, but it wasn't the old master she was supposed to meet.
Sitting across from her was a stern, capable woman—the one who held the most authority in the Su family at the moment. She was the old master's beloved daughter, and also his most trusted aide. Before Su Yuyan took over the family business, she had been the largest shareholder in the Su Group, second only to the old master.
As Su Yuyan's biological mother, Su Ninglian didn't share much resemblance with her son, but in terms of personality, they were quite alike. Having been in high positions for so long, Su Ninglian exuded an unspoken aura of power. Upon seeing Shen Ming, her expression remained neutral, and she instructed her assistant to speak.
"Miss Shen, we need to collect your information and run a DNA test to compare it with Mr. Su's. You can stay at the Su residence for now. Once your identity is confirmed, Mr. Su will take you to meet the old master."
Shen Ming knew she wouldn't be seeing the old master right away. From what she remembered, the old master's health had worsened, and at this stage in life, he was likely recalling unresolved matters—like her, the long-lost daughter.
After bringing her to the Su residence, Su Yuyan disappeared, likely retreating to his private apartment. He wasn't interested in getting involved with his unknown half-sister.
Su Ninglian didn't take her around to meet the other family members. The old residence was mainly occupied by the elderly master, and no one else stayed there.
"Go upstairs and rest. If you need anything, ask the butler."
It was a rare display of concern from Su Ninglian, who didn't usually show such sentiment.
Shen Ming was escorted upstairs by the butler. Downstairs, Su Ninglian watched her retreating figure, her brow furrowed.
Her assistant spoke up.
"Miss Feng came to the old residence today. Do you think word of this has leaked?"
Su Ninglian shook her head. "She must have heard that her brother came back today. Let's keep this quiet from her for now. That girl's mind is fragile. She tends to overthink. We'll tell her in a while."
"Understood."
Shen Ming didn't feel much difference in her new identity or living arrangements. But at this moment, she was dealing with another serious issue.
Her assistant, Lian, messaged her.
"At 8 PM tonight, the PR team for the company suddenly went AWOL. It's normal for employees to quit during a crisis, but an entire department leaving is unusual."
Things weren't adding up. Shen Ming had anticipated something big happening, but she didn't expect it to be this.
Her perfume company had always followed a "light luxury" approach, but now, out of the blue, they were being accused of a major product defect. A key ingredient had been dangerously overused, posing significant health risks.
On top of that, news outlets had released professional inspection reports along with videos and images from victims showing severe skin damage caused by using the products. Public opinion was one-sided, with many demanding that regulatory authorities step in for an investigation.
After reading these messages, Shen Ming set down her tablet.
Someone was out to ruin her small company, and it was no coincidence. Her company was already on the brink of collapse—who would waste this much effort unless they had a personal stake in it?
Lian messaged again: "Should I contact the PR leader from Huami's team and ask for help?"
"No need," Shen Ming replied, "They can't help. Let it sit for the night…"
Beep.
An incoming call.
It was Cheng Anyi.
