half thorns, half joy

After Xiao Zihan left, Cai Lin's tears fell down and hit the corner of her clothes.

"Linlin..." Cai Jinyu looked distressed, and persuaded, "Don't be sad, Zihan has always spoken directly, and he didn't mean to blame you."

While wiping her tears, Cai Lin complained to Xiao Zihan with trembling lips, "He said, I don't care."

Cai Jinyu: "...you don't care about it."

"Jinyu." Lin Qiaoer interjected, "Linlin is just worried about Zihan. Linlin said those things for Zihan's benefit. It's too heartless for you to say that about her."

"No." Cai Jinyu looked at Lin Qiaoer, "What's the matter with you? I'm really convinced. What's wrong with the two of you? It's obvious that you embarrass Tang Xuan, and Zihan is angry."

Cai Lin pushed Cai Jinyu away, and glared at Cai Jinyu with red eyes, "Shouldn't Tang Xuan feel embarrassed? Brother, you also prefer that Tang Xuan, right?"

Cai Jinyu: "..."

How could this have anything to do with him again.

Lin Qiaoer patted Cai Lin's shoulder and sighed pretendingly, "Linlin, I can't blame Jinyu for this. He already liked Tang Xuan quite a bit, so it's understandable that he favored Tang Xuan. Don't make things difficult for him."

When Cai Lin heard this, she immediately questioned Cai Jinyu, "Brother, do you like Tang Xuan?"

"Ah?" Cai Jinyu bounced up from the sofa, "What is it? How could I like Tang Xuan? Listen to her talking nonsense."

Lin Qiaoer looked away, "Forget it, if you say you don't like it, you don't like it."

Cai Jinyu said, "I don't like it in the first place, so don't mess with me. The reason I treat Tang Xuan well is because Tang Xuan and I are friends."

Cai Lin was puzzled, "Why, didn't Tang Xuan put Uncle Xiao in jail? Why are you and Brother Zihan still protecting her like this?"

"Eh..." Cai Jinyu concluded, "This is a long story, I won't be able to explain it clearly to you in a while..."

"So, it's true, right?" Cai Lin asked.

Cai Jinyu nodded, "It's true, but Uncle Xiao has her own problems, and Tang Xuan actually...has problems too..."

Facing the younger sister he had always held in his palm, Cai Jinyu couldn't tell the fact that Xiao Mingyuan carried many lives on his back. On the one hand, he didn't want Cai Lin to know about such a dark matter; Talking nonsense to Xiao Mingyuan behind his back.

"You men, hey, it's easy to be soft-hearted for women who sound like they have suffered a lot." Lin Qiaoer sighed heavily, "Zihan is like this, and so are you."

Cai Jinyu frowned tightly. This sentence sounds weird and wrong.

"Ah, I'm really annoying." Cai Jinyu took a few steps back, "I'm going to find Zihan, you two talk, I can't stay any longer."

After Cai Jinyu finished speaking, she strode out of the screening room.

Lin Qiaoer stepped forward, turned down the sound of the movie, went back and sat beside Cai Lin, and gently stroked Cai Lin's back, "Okay, Linlin, don't feel bad."

Cai Lin sniffed and asked Lin Qiaoer, "Qiaoer, my brother just said that Tang Xuan has a problem, what is it?"

"This..." Lin Qiaoer thought for a few seconds, combined with the half-truth and half-truth of the information she had inquired about Tang Xuan: "How should I put it, the life experience is more miserable. I heard that she is an orphan, and the living expenses of the university are all the same. I earned it myself, and my life has been very hard.”

"Orphan..." When Cai Lin heard this, she also felt pity.

Seeing that Cai Lin was beginning to waver, Lin Qiaoer quickly said, "Yeah, so her personality is not very sound. Once she clings to something, she won't let it go. If she leaves Xiao Zihan, she will never be able to find her again." Here comes the good man."

Cai Lin was still confused, "Since Brother Zihan is so important to her, why did she get Uncle Xiao arrested? It doesn't make sense."

Seeing that the lie she fabricated was about to be exposed, Lin Qiaoer simply kept on doing nothing, and fabricated a man out of thin air, and said it in an uncertain tone, but it sounded more like the truth.

"This, I heard it was related to a man. It seems that Zihan was betrayed for that man, but later, she was abandoned by that man again."

Cai Lin didn't know that Lin Qiaoer was deceiving her, so she believed it when she heard it, "Then it looks like this Tang Xuan not only has a personality problem, but also a bad character."

Lin Qiaoer echoed: "Of course, if this kind of thing happened to any self-respecting girl, she would be ashamed to come back."

Cai Lin nodded in agreement, "Sure."

"But look at Tang Xuan, not only did she bring other men's children back to live in Xiao Zihan's villa, she also acted like a hostess, defiant." Lin Qiaoer's heart was filled with contempt when she thought of Tang Xuan's contemptuous expression. She felt hatred, "It's just that Zihan is good. If this happened to an ordinary man, she would have kicked him out a long time ago."

"Brother Zihan is really good to her." Cai Lin pouted, "Although I haven't seen him for many years, he has never been mean to me."

In fact, Lin Qiaoer's fabricated stories and lies are full of loopholes, and a little analysis can reveal many things that are wrong.

But when people are emotional, it is difficult to maintain reason and make correct judgments.

Especially the attitudes of Xiao Zihan and Cai Jinyu further aroused Cai Lin's prejudice against Tang Xuan.

Due to several factors, Cai Lin's perception of Tang Xuan became a firm belief that Tang Xuan was a woman with bad qualities and unfaithful feelings.

Cai Lin and Lin Qiaoer stayed in the screening room until Cai Jinyu asked them to have dinner. Before going out, Lin Qiaoer told Cai Lin again to suppress the unhappiness in her heart and stop making Xiao Zihan angry.

Although she was aggrieved, Cai Lin agreed when she thought of Xiao Zihan's cold words.

As expected, Tang Xuan was not at the dinner table.

Xiao Zihan ordered the nanny to bring the meal to Tang Xuan.

Cai Lin on the side looked at it, exchanged glances with Lin Qiaoer, and hummed lukewarmly.

"Cough cough...cough cough." Cai Jinyu was afraid of making a fuss again, so she pretended to be choking and coughed a series of times, and then drank water exaggeratedly after coughing.

Of course Cai Lin knew what Cai Jinyu meant, she didn't respond, the foot under the table stomped on Cai Jinyu hard, causing Cai Jinyu to yell again.

Xiao Zihan looked indifferent about this, as if he couldn't see it.

It wasn't until almost the end of the meal that Xiao Zihan asked Cai Jinyu, "What are you two going to do, do you want to go home?"

"Well, we'll go back after eating." Cai Jinyu didn't want to stay with these two women any longer, "You have been shopping with us all day today, so there are many things that need to be dealt with."

"It's okay." Xiao Zihan put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, "I have a few contracts to look at, but nothing else."

Lin Qiaoer looked at Xiao Zihan softly and weakly, showing an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, Zihan, you are so busy, and I have caused you so much trouble..."

Although Xiao Zihan didn't like Lin Qiaoer because of the dress before, but Lin Qiaoer apologized so sincerely, out of politeness, he still replied: "You don't need to apologize, it's nothing to trouble you."

"Brother Zihan... I have caused you trouble too... You have worked hard..." Cai Lin saw Lin Qiaoer saying sorry, and thinking of Xiao Zihan being played around by Tang Xuan, she also began to feel sorry for Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan raised the corner of his mouth, "It's okay, I was too serious just now."

Cai Jinyu was almost moved to tears by the good atmosphere, and he sighed excitedly, "You guys finally calmed down, it's really hard for me."

"Shut up, you stinky brother." Cai Lin glared at Cai Jinyu angrily.

Cai Jinyu gasped, "Hey, why do you treat me like this again, can you treat me better."

"No." Cai Lin replied puffing her cheeks.

The noisy atmosphere returned to the way it was before, and Xiao Zihan heaved a sigh of relief. He was partial to Tang Xuan, but he still wanted to see everyone in harmony.

However, right now it is impossible to introduce Cai Lin to Tang Xuan.

Look for another opportunity later.

After eating, Cai Jinyu, Cai Lin, and Lin Qiaoer left together by car. Xiao Zihan sent them to the gate of the villa, watched the car drive away, and then walked back slowly.

Seeing the confinement lady who was in charge of taking care of the baby coming downstairs, Xiao Zihan stepped forward to stop the confinement lady and asked, "What is Tang Xuan doing?"

"I just took a bath, and I'm coaxing the baby to sleep right now." The confinement wife replied.

Xiao Zihan nodded, "Then... is the baby asleep?"

"Well, just fell asleep."

"Understood, you go to rest too." Xiao Zihan put his hands in his pockets, and continued to walk upstairs at a slow pace.

It had been a long, long time since he had close contact with Tang Xuan.

When he reached the door of Tang Xuan's bedroom, Xiao Zihan hesitated for a moment, and without knocking, he turned the handle and pushed the door open.

Tang Xuan was leaning on the bed and looking at the computer. When she heard the door opening, she looked over and met Xiao Zihan who appeared after opening the door.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Zihan didn't know what to say, but when he saw that Tang Xuan was not sleeping and using the computer, he blurted out a question.

Tang Xuan thought about it, but said truthfully, "I want to find a part-time job."

Xiao Zihan didn't expect this answer.

Xiao Zihan pushed open the door and walked in.Seeing the sweet baby sleeping with eyes tightly closed in the cradle next to the bed, he lightened his steps.

"What part-time job?" Xiao Zihan walked to the other side of the bed, sat down and asked Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan replied, "Something like writing, writing soft articles or papers for others, I haven't talked about it yet, I don't know the details."

Xiao Zihan nodded, but said nothing.

He was actually relieved, because the Tang Xuan in this appearance overlapped with the Tang Xuan in his memory to some extent.

At the same time, he is also insecure.

Tang Xuan was too strong, he was afraid that Tang Xuan would plan and make some decision behind his back again.

Seeing Xiao Zihan's silence, Tang Xuan was worried that Xiao Zihan would not agree, so she quickly added, "This kind of part-time job can be done on the computer. You don't need to go out, let alone work. I can do it in the bedroom."

"...Mmm." Xiao Zihan finally responded.

Tang Xuan rubbed the computer mouse unconsciously, and said calmly, "Although my current life is focused on my baby, it's still quite boring. If I don't do something, I feel a little empty."

"...Well, you do it." Xiao Zihan heard Tang Xuan's pleading, and felt like those butchers who broke the wings of birds in order to feed them. He couldn't bear it, "This kind of work , would you like me to introduce you to you?"

Tang Xuan smiled slightly, "Okay, but let me try it myself first, if I really can't find it, then I will ask you for help."

Xiao Zihan nodded with you, "Okay."

The two fell into silence again. Xiao Zihan sat without moving. After a while, Tang Xuan asked Xiao Zihan out of words, "Are they...all gone?"

"Let's go." Xiao Zihan replied.

"Oh." Tang Xuan nodded, looked at Xiao Zihan suspiciously, and lowered her head again.

What she wants to ask is, those people have left, why don't you leave, why are you still staying here...
