Chapter 2 Take her home

Seven years ago, Shen Mingxu came back from England for more than a year. He resisted learning to manage the family business from his father and brother, and spent all day playing with a group of idle young men. Until he met Shao Yunxi, who was studying at Nandu Art School, the two of them quickly turned from a group of people hanging out together to a sweet love affair.

As expected of a student at an art school, Shao Yunxi was born with a pure and beautiful school beauty face. She was tall and slender, and she smiled coldly at everyone, but when she saw Shen Mingxu, she readily agreed to give him her contact information and even took the initiative to treat him to coffee.

Having seen too many types of beauties, Shen Mingxu fell in love at first sight with the pure and cold Shao Yunxi. After more than 20 years of being single, he finally came to his senses and drove a sports car to pick her up at the school gate every day. The two young people had endless topics to talk about, and soon developed into a couple.

Once, they had dinner at a private kitchen with a romantic atmosphere. There was a beautiful piano in the small hall outside the dining room. Shao Yunxi took a closer look. Shen Mingxu, who was devoted to her, gently put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "Xiaoxi, can you play the piano?" The proud

young man was so noble that he held her in his arms and asked her to show her talent. Shao Yunxi raised her delicate and small chin, and asked him with her big eyes flickering, "Can I play?"

"Of course."

The bright, charming, and youthful beauty sat on the piano bench. The soothing, gentle, and super healing piano music flowed from Shao Yunxi's fine white fingertips. Shen Mingxu was already fascinated standing there. No wonder she was delicate and beautiful but never had pointed long nails. It turned out that she had piano skills.

Fascinated by his girlfriend's talent, Shen Mingxu also took out an antique violin from his father's collection at home, which was said to be from a British aristocrat, and asked Shao Yunxi to play.

The long-haired girl was graceful. She was wearing a long skirt and standing on the lawn of the private garden, playing the violin for Shen Mingxu alone. At that moment, Shen Mingxu saw not his girlfriend but a goddess, the muse whom he deeply loved, revered, and worshipped as a god. He was completely captivated by her charm and could not extricate himself.

Shao Yunxi never questioned Shen Mingxu's status as an international student, the wealth of his family, and his deep love for her. She believed in him and naively made no demands on him, nor did she ask him for any gifts.

Immersed in love, Shen Mingxu enthusiastically asked her out to play every day, and then happily sent her back to school.

Once, Shen Mingxu parked his car far away and wanted to walk over to take a walk with his girlfriend. From a distance, he saw a boy buying a cold drink and chatting with Shao Yunxi. The boy was tall and handsome, but he looked like a real little milk dog. However, she didn't even look at him, and turned her back to him with a cold face. When she saw Shen Mingxu coming from a distance, she smiled sweetly instantly. Shao Yunxi jumped into his arms like a little bird and hurriedly announced that she had a boyfriend. She

was cold to people, but started to act like a spoiled child when she saw herself. Shen Mingxu really loved her different way of treating people. He opened his arms and hugged his girlfriend directly in his arms, isolating all the envious eyes.

Shen Mingxu was always very careful when taking her out to play, especially to bars and nightclubs. He didn't dare to leave Yunxi's side for a moment. After all, there were many beautiful girls, but it was too rare to have a beauty with a unique personality like her, which combined purity and coldness. Especially this cold and beautiful sister could dance. She stood on the edge of the dance floor and twisted casually, and immediately a cool and handsome man came over to ask to get to know her.

Once, they met a young master from an unknown family. He came up to Yunxi and grabbed her hand. Yunxi didn't hesitate to hit him and called him a hooligan. Maybe he felt good after being beaten. The other party was not angry and still smiled and asked to get to know each other.

There were only two of them, and the other party was a group of bodyguards and friends. Shen Mingxu didn't want to suffer a loss, so he grabbed his girlfriend and ran out.

On a drizzling night, the two ran into the car and smiled at each other. In the quiet city streets, the sports car was rumbling.

"Xiaoxi, don't go back. Stay with me. We will go abroad to study." When he was in love, Shen Mingxu stroked his girlfriend's delicate face and was reluctant to touch her with more force.

Yunxi immediately shook her head and said no, she wanted to go back to school.

When they went out for a date again, it was the same scoundrel who pestered her. They left quickly, but they had a car accident on the road...

When Shen Mingxu regained consciousness, it was more than ten days later in a hospital bed in the UK. He was told that his girlfriend had died in a serious car accident, and he had a head injury, retinal detachment, multiple fractures in both legs, and was almost amputated...

Shen Mingxu's life was completely turned upside down.

Seven years later, he stood on a small road in the suburbs of Nandu with a cane, and his girlfriend who had been dead for seven years "resurrected" in front of him. Yes, he had an extra cane and became a cripple, but he didn't have time to find her grave to worship her, so she wouldn't have completely forgotten him, right?

The young master of the Shen family had no manners at all. He stuck his cane on the ground and asked Shao Yunxi with an icy face, "How are you going to compensate me? In installments or a one-time payment? How much is the salary at the welfare home?"

Everyone can understand that 400,000 is a lot of money. Shao Yunxi was eager to defend herself in order to avoid paying the money. "I don't have a salary. I grew up in an orphanage..."

It was Shen Mingxu's turn to be confused. Wasn't she a college student? How did she become an orphan? Then he thought again, after seven years, she had already graduated. Orphans can indeed go to college, and there is no conflict... Then why did his family lie to him and say Yunxi was dead?

As if hit by a grenade, in a place where no one was paying attention, Shen Mingxu held the cane tightly with his left hand and forced himself to look gloomy.

Shen Mingxu felt that all his worldly wisdom and foresight were used at this moment. In the seven years in the UK, he thought about Shao Yunxi every day in agony, feeling sorry for her, causing her to lose her life at the age of 18, and the delicate flower withered before it could bloom. Now, she fell from the sky with a child in her arms, and almost died in front of him. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not the case, and his face became particularly bad.

"Let's go and see if you are lying." The cane tapped the ground unceremoniously, expressing the owner's extreme impatience.

Xia Xia's tears had not yet dried, Shao Yunxi was still disheveled in the spring breeze, and Zhou Heng was at a loss. Throwing down these words, Shen Mingxu leaned on his cane, using his good right leg and the cane in his left hand as support, and walked towards the co-pilot with his stiff left leg.

Two outsiders, a shiny luxury car. After the director of the welfare home listened to Shao Yunxi's story and figured out what was going on, she also began to panic.

The director recognized the luxury car with the letter B logo, and looking at the license plate with consecutive numbers like an eye bag, she could also tell that it was worth a lot.

"What exactly is broken?" She even forgot to care about her own people.

"All four brake discs are broken."

For a car worth millions, it seems reasonable to compensate hundreds of thousands for a problem more serious than the four wheels being broken. The director felt very embarrassed when he thought of this. "Our welfare home is a public welfare unit. We don't have that much money for compensation. Besides, Yunxi is not an employee of the welfare home. She is a child of the welfare home." Although it was embarrassing, for the sake of expensive compensation, she had to plead with Shen Mingxu in a low voice. "Besides, she was injured in a car accident a few years ago. She is a little different from ordinary people." The director secretly raised his hand and pointed at his head.

"Is she a fool?" Of course he knew that she was injured, but he had no idea how badly he was injured. Pretending to be surprised and ignorant, Shen Mingxu asked without hiding his thoughts.

"No, no, she was injured and forgot a lot of things. So, in our daily life, she has to learn slowly. But it has been seven years, and Yunxi's recovery is no different from that of ordinary people." The huge impact of the car accident made Shao Yunxi unconscious for a long time. She was indeed injured.

"Oh, can she wash clothes and clean the house?"

"Of course."

"Let her work for me and pay back the money, so the welfare home won't have to pay all the money in one go." At this time, Shen Mingxu stood in the yard of the welfare home like a proud peacock, facing the warm spring breeze, and the abacus beads clattered.

The director took Xia Xia into his arms, looked at Shen Mingxu cautiously, and nodded in agreement.

Not to mention that Shen Mingxu had a sullen face, but he was actually secretly excited. Shao Yunxi was also still confused. She had already picked up the bag that the director had brought for her, which contained her clothes for changing. She was hurriedly pushed into the luxury car that was said to have broken down.

Passing through the outer ring road of the suburbs, Shao Yunxi's eyes changed light and shadow, and the scenery gradually changed from dull to prosperous and gorgeous. The high-end, classical, and majestic buildings of various colors in the world's metropolises jumped into her sight. There was no time to wonder, and the car drove smoothly into a villa area hidden in the middle of the mountain.

Villas are scarce in Nandu, a city with a large population base, no matter where they are located. Especially in front of this pure villa area, which is very new, each villa has a novel design and its own characteristics. Starting from the door, the green plants and designs of each villa are different.

Shen Mingxu's villa does not have a high-tech door that is frighteningly high, nor is it a luxurious style with sky gardens and outdoor swimming pools placed in a conspicuous place. Instead, it is a low-key luxury style with layers of log color and black rocks. Various green plants and flowers decorate the door and garden. The whole house has a distinct secluded feature.

The car went directly into the underground. The driver had no intention of going upstairs at all. He parked the car, said hello to Shen Mingxu, and walked out directly from the way he came in. In the entire underground space, except for a few neatly placed cars, only Shao Yunxi and Shen Mingxu were left.

"Follow me."

He pushed open the car door and held the handle, put the cane firmly on the ground, and slowly moved out his left leg as if in slow motion. Although he walked with a limp, Shen Mingxu's back was always straight, and he walked slowly.

Holding all her luggage tightly in her hands, Shao Yunxi followed him into the elevator. Seeing how he walked, she understood why an elevator was needed in a villa that looked like it only had three floors.

This house has three floors above ground and two floors underground. If you count the garage, it should be three floors underground, strictly speaking.

Walking into this log-colored home, the decoration is unexpectedly light and soft, giving people a very warm and sunny feeling.

"You live on the first floor," Shen Mingxu stopped and pointed to the room next to the kitchen. He was tall and big. Yunxi saw his slender fingers holding the cane, and he tilted his head slightly to look at her. "I live on the second floor. There is usually an auntie here to clean every day, but I don't think it's very convenient. I'll leave the cleaning work to you in the future, but you don't have to be too careful. Find a professional cleaner to do the main cleaning every week."

"Hey, me," she stopped him when she saw him turn his head away and stopped him while the cane didn't move.

"What's the matter?"

"How much is my salary?" Under the extremely aggressive gaze of Shen Mingxu, Yunxi asked the core question timidly.

"Five thousand." In fact, Shen Mingxu didn't know how much it should be, but he knew he didn't want to give her more money.

Shao Yunxi immediately calculated in his mind, wouldn't she have to clean his house for more than six years to earn 400,000?
