Epiphanies of Rebirth
Chapter 73
Xiao Chi couldn't stand it any longer, so he had to leave first.
What he was going to talk about was the land in Wubao Mountain, and he and Qi Kai agreed to stay at the Yanshi Hotel that they often go to.The bureau was saved by Qi Kai. The consumption level of Yanshi’s restaurant seems to be not so easy for him to afford at the moment, but it is obvious that Qi Kai still has no clear understanding of his current economic situation. , I still saw a table of abalone wing belly as usual.
This can be regarded as a meeting of enemies. Since the establishment of Centrino Real Estate, Xiao Chi has never cooperated with the other party.In fact, the two grew up in the same compound, but they never got along with each other when they were young, and then there was Xiao Miao's incident, the contradictions snowballed, and the grievances had a long history.
Qi Kai was obviously a little guilty. After seeing Xiao Chi, he coughed and put on his confidence. He stood up and greeted him nonchalantly, "Mr. Xiao, sit, sit, sit."
Xiao Chi looked at him calmly, and couldn't help but think of his father's sigh - "I can't just watch him die."
It is true that one kind of rice feeds all kinds of people.
Xiao Chi didn't make things difficult for this person, so he took advantage of the situation and sat down.Thinking of the pitiful appearance of his younger sister who was kissed by Qi Kai before, she was so frightened and cried when she came back, and even went abroad for a few years to avoid her pitifully, he was still furious.It's just that he doesn't like to beat the dog in the water. The crazy revenge started a few years ago when Qi Kai was in the limelight, and it also achieved obvious results.
There is a secret rule among the children in the compound—conflicts between peers cannot be brought to the elders for resolution.
With Xiao Chi's own strength alone, Xiao Chi can also make the other party shy away from Xiao Miao now - Xiao Miao has been back to China for so long, and almost all his peers in the compound have seen him, except Qi Kai who dare not come to the door.
It's just that it's one thing to retaliate against oneself, but it's another thing now that the other party seeks his own death. Xiao Chi is not happy with Qi Kai's current state.When the Qi family's parents were still alive, they were also a very kind elders in his childhood.
Xiao Chi looked around the restaurant, and asked in a deep voice, "President Shi didn't come?"
Qi Kai also felt strange, normally speaking, Shi Nanxing would never give up on such an occasion, and the other party had cooperated with Xiao Chi on the shares of Sifeng Plaza before.It stands to reason that with such a large share of equity transfer, the two parties in the transaction are bound to accumulate a lot of friendship, but this time, Shi Nanxing borrowed money everywhere, and it seems that he has no intention of opening his mouth to Centrino Real Estate.Today's Wubaoshan share ownership negotiation, the other party even tried to evade in every possible way. When Qi Kai asked the reason, Shi Nanxing's face became scary, and he only said that seeing Xiao Chi's face would cause indigestion.
Of course, these words cannot be repeated according to the chapter, so Qi Kai just replied: "My brother-in-law is not feeling well today, but Mr. Xiao can rest assured that I can fully decide the equity of the Wubaoshan project."
Physical discomfort?
Xiao Chi smiled inexplicably: "That's right."
In fact, he had already found out who the mastermind behind the photos he desperately sent home years ago was not even himself—Xiao Chi didn’t care about this matter at all, wishing the whole world knew that he was with Lin Jingzhe is a couple, so that when he is not sticking to Lin Jingzhe, he can frighten the mad bees and butterflies around each other.Xiao Shenxing sent out the manpower for the investigation.
The elders have more worries, no matter whether the opponent's methods are high-level or low-level, they always want to know exactly who is watching behind the scenes and trying to trip their son.Checking this matter seems to be difficult but it is easy to say. The problem does not lie in the delivery process. The other party is very cautious. They chose different cities for the three photo delivery points. The farthest one even took four or five hours to arrive. And the content is also handled extremely perfect, without leaving any clues, even if it is handed over to professional criminal investigation police, it may not be possible to draw a definite conclusion.
The problem is... the person taking the picture.
In Yan City's recent circle of underground gangsters, there is a very popular private detective.
This private detective can be described as extremely high-profile, showing off to everyone that he earned 10 yuan a day by taking photos, and every time before showing off to others, he has to tell the other party mysteriously: "I only tell you this secret Please don't spread the word." In the end, he relied on his own big mouth to make this matter known to everyone.
He refused to disclose the content of the photos he took, but only said that he was a professional detective, and he wanted to show his professionalism and keep secrets for his employer.
But based on the employer information he leaked at the moment - including the other party's admission to the hospital, physical characteristics, and detailed behavior, people who are familiar with it can almost instantly guess that the employer who is stupid and rich is Shi Nanxing.
Xiao Chi was not surprised at all, Xiao Shenxing was speechless for a long time after getting the result quickly.
"Is he a fool?" Xiao Shenxing asked his son so seriously at the time, "It cost 10 yuan to find such a bum to cooperate with."
Xiao Chi was also very confused, mainly because he was confused why Shi Nanxing took the intimate photos of him and Lin Jingzhe and why he went out of his way to find some private detective.Although [-] is not much, it is not a small amount of money. He and Lin Jingzhe have never concealed it. Shi Nanxing wants evidence, so why not bring a camera to take pictures?
But Shi Nanxing's past bad deeds have already left a deep imprint on the families of these people in the compound. The father and son discussed for a long time but did not discuss anything.
But people with normal brain circuits will not smuggle and sell drugs.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Chi and Qi Kai got to the point, talking about the piece of land at the foot of Wubao Mountain.
This piece of land belongs to the south of the city. Although the location is relatively remote, it has a large area of more than 40 square meters. Compared with the previous land kings in the north of the city, it is only slightly smaller.Recently, the north of the city has been rapidly developed, and the price of land has risen. If this land is so large, if it is placed in the north, the value must have already increased by at least 30.00% compared to when it was photographed.It's a pity that the two cities in the north and the south are far away from each other. Although the land in the south of the city has increased with the increase in population in recent years, it is far less lively than in the north of the city.
Therefore, the normal market valuation of this land is probably in the range of 6000 million to 7000 million.
This is already lower than Qi Kai's bidding price at the beginning, and what's worse is that there is now a funeral home and crematorium built next to it!
Developers of other large and small real estate projects near Wubaoshan have already started to lower their prices, and Zhenxiong Real Estate is no exception.Recently, due to Shi Nanxing's urgent need for money, the shares in this land were sold. The latest valuation of Zhenxiong Real Estate's marketing department is that it can only recover less than 5000 million at most.
More than 4000 million, which has shrunk by half.
But even so, there are still few next family willing to take over.
Xiao Chi used the shortcomings of this land to bargain with him: "The equity and debt issues of Wubaoshan are too complicated. There are still more than 9000 million loans in the bank that have not been liquidated for this land."
"It's from Qiqing Real Estate, and it has nothing to do with us. The loan was also obtained in the name of their company, and the procedure was illegal. We just transferred the development rights to them. How could the bank approve the loan without investigating clearly? Qi Kai spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, the bank doesn't dare to come in blindly. Anyway, the money from Qiqing Real Estate will definitely not be paid. After they go bankrupt and liquidate, the bank will take back the land. When the time comes...cough cough."
He spoke eloquently, and almost said unrestrainedly, "When the crematorium and funeral home are built, the price of this land is probably not as good as it is now." He quickly swallowed it and glanced at Xiao Chi's face .
Xiao Chi lowered his eyes and was picking at the string of beads in his hand. There seemed to be a special barrier around him, separating him from the outside world.
Qi Kai was not sure if the other party had reacted, so he lifted his head and tried to deceive people: "Anyway, you are willing to take over now, and you have solved part of their debt problem in advance. No matter how stupid the bank is, it also knows the reason to stop losses in time."
After he finished speaking, he anxiously watched Xiao Chi's reaction. Xiao Chi didn't know if he was listening to him, but kept his eyes down, calm like a sea without waves.He suddenly said: "So during the transaction process, Centrino went directly with the bank?"
"Of course not!" Qi Kai hurriedly explained, "You don't have to worry, the loan will definitely be borne by us and Qiqing Real Estate, but the repayment date is at the end of this year, and there is still a while."
Xiao Chi looked up at his appearance, Qi Kai's eyes flickered, his expression was tense, his eyes were covered with black and blue, it was obvious that there was something extremely agitated, which made him unable to rest well for a long time.
"According to the current situation, the bank won't mind taking back the loan early." Xiao Chi asked, "Mr. Qi has other uses for the money, right?"
Qi Kai looked at it for a moment, and his expression was blank for a few seconds, but he reacted immediately, and forced a blank smile: "What is Mr. Xiao talking about, money is not all on the books. The longer the better."
Xiao Chi's sharp gaze used to be extraordinarily sharp, but now it seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts. He stared at Qi Kai's embarrassed smiling face, and when the beads in his hands collided, they made a slight sound, exuding a vast aura, heavy and heavy. The town is on Qi Kai's body.
The silence between the two sides lasted for several minutes. Xiao Chi didn't like to talk. Qi Kai, who was always eloquent and wanted to be in the limelight, was also strangely silent.
After a while, Xiao Chi sighed softly, stood up, and walked out of the table.
Qi Kai seemed to be in a daze, and immediately came back to his senses, and said in a voiceless voice: "Mr. Xiao..."
"It will be good for Zhenxiong to take someone to Centrino to sign the transfer contract tomorrow afternoon." Xiao Chi's footsteps did not stop because of his voice, and he went straight to the door. When he was about to leave, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Qi Kai's eyes.
Qi Kai stopped in fright, he almost thought that Xiao Chi was going to beat him up or something.
"President Qi." But Xiao Chi just spoke in the end, his voice was very low, like the evening bells of a temple striking every evening: "For the sake of your mother making dresses for Xiao Miao before, I advise you You say a word."
"The sea of suffering is boundless, turning back is the shore."
After the other party said this, in Qi Kai's stunned reaction, he seemed to think of something again, raised his eyebrows and said: "That's right."
He took out a large thick envelope from his coat pocket, and handed it over: "Please tell President Shi for me, don't keep doing these useless efforts if you have nothing to do."
Xiao Chi left as calmly as when he came, without moving a single bite of the delicacies on the table.
The business seemed to be concluded, but Qi Kai was not happy at all, he just sat blankly in this huge box, looking at the clear sky outside the window.
Years later, Yan City is still shrouded in the cold of winter, and the world is barren.
A bell drilled into his chest and hummed repeatedly.
Qi Kai suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at a place, and even got up and moved closer to the window to have a look.
The leafless tree in front of the hotel seemed to have withered on the top of a towering tree in winter, and a little bit of green life seemed to emerge.
But that point of color is too vague, Qi Kai felt tired after looking at it for a while.
He didn't know why he was suddenly so weak, he sat wearily on the sofa, and subconsciously opened the big envelope that Xiao Chi asked him to forward to Shi Nanxing.
The photos he entered almost made him jump on the spot, and then he recalled Xiao Chi's words just now, and he suddenly realized that the person who got these photos was probably Shi Nanxing.
Did Shi Nanxing know the secret of Lin Jingzhe and Xiao Chi?When did he know?
Qi Kai didn't know about this, but it seemed that many questions that he didn't understand before had been interpreted in an instant.The other party asked him to find a private detective and arranged for the company's driver to leave the province suddenly. Before that, he had wanted to find someone who could enter Xiao Chi's father's work unit.
When Qi Kai came home and saw Shi Nanxing playing chess with his grandfather, he felt a headache for a while.
Shi Nanxing immediately asked him, "How's the cooperation going?"
"It's done." Qi Kai put on a tired smile in the other party's eyes that suddenly lit up, "I'll go upstairs to rest first."
He returned to the room, took the volume of envelopes, and stood there hesitating for a long time, when footsteps came from outside the door, he immediately opened the drawer and put the envelopes inside.
As soon as Shi Nanxing entered the door, he saw Qi Kai lying motionless on the bed with his face stretched out.
Excited by the answer just now, he stepped forward and asked: "Don't pretend to be dead, tell me about the situation!"
Qi Kai sighed and said: "The negotiation is over, what Xiao Chi means is that tomorrow we can bring people to Centrino to sign a contract."
Shi Nanxing couldn't hide his joy. After hesitating for a long time, Qi Kai still asked the question that he didn't dare to ask in a low voice: "Uncle, why don't we... let Xiao Chi go directly with the bank?"
"Are you sick? What will Shapeng do without the money? Jiang Chacha has to worry about the bank loan, and we will pay it back at least at the end of the year." Shi Nanxing felt relieved that a heavy burden on his heart had finally been let go. , also sat down on the bed, and ordered, "Hurry up and let the people in the company start preparations. By the way, hurry up and contact Jiang Chacha, and let her cooperate with us to go to the bank to go through the procedures."
Xiao Chi received a call on the road, and Qi Kai finally decided to ask Zhenxiong to deal with the shares instead of the bank.
After returning home, he told Xiao Shenxing the news. Xiao Shenxing held the teacup in silence for a long time, just sighed, got up and went upstairs silently.
Xiao Chi watched his father's back disappear behind the study door, turned around and went to look for Lin Jingzhe.
Lin Jingzhe was playing computer with Xiao Miao, to be precise, the two were discussing Xiao Miao's investment in the website.
Lin Jingzhe was amazed by Xiao Miao's forward-thinking vision, regardless of profit or loss, the other party can think of investing in the Internet industry in this age, which is already quite a remarkable pioneering work.What's more, the field of online creation is not a cold bench that no one cares about in later generations. With the transition from PC to mobile terminal, this industry will only become more and more popular.
The changes of the times are often more reflected in the details of the lives of ordinary people, and the one chosen by more people is usually the current winner.People in this era may never have imagined that these highly influential newspapers and magazines will be squeezed into such a difficult living environment by the faster Internet in later generations.Lin Jingzhe is also a member of ordinary people in life. Compared with the nostalgic lifestyle, he is more willing to choose new technology that is more convenient for his life like most people-his new home, the ordinary LCD TV that used to be step-by-step Replaced by digital television, the Internet connects him every step of the way from the moment he enters the apartment door until he goes to bed and sleeps soundly.Computers, tablets and smartphones have completely replaced 80.00% of the things that people used to carry in their lives, not to mention paper books that are rare on the bookshelf and only have time to read when they are free. He doesn't even need to carry money and keys!
These changes have infiltrated into the details of his life quietly, so that he can't recall an exact time even now.In the past, he was just a follower of that era, but now, he has become a member who participated in it and started a new century!
Xiao Miao's age may not be very old, but she has already studied in college for several years. The other party intends to arrange a career in advance, and Lin Jingzhe absolutely agrees with it.So after Xiao Chi left in the morning, not only did he not leave, but he stayed and had a deep talk with Xiao Miao, asking in detail about the other party's ideas about investing and starting a business.
Under questioning, he couldn't help but admit with a sigh, probably none of the children who grew up in the compound were really simple.
Although his own sister, Shen Tiantian, was obedient, innocent and shy in this life, far less sinister and ruthless than when she confronted him tit-for-tat in her previous life, at a young age, she also talked to herself about investment and career a few days ago.Xiao Chi's younger sister, Xiao Miao, seems to be pure-hearted and unconcerned, seemingly untouched by the mundane world, but when it comes to business planning, she also hits the nail on the head and makes sense.
Even before they had any capital to enter, they had already established a complete set of rules, and recruited a considerable number of producers for the forum without any profit. Xiao Miao called up the background data of that forum to In his view, the flow of people in the current small forum is already considerable.
The forum is in the form of posting, and Lin Jingzhe can't understand the green color and layout. The hotter posts on the homepage seem to be some of the more popular books at the moment. Lin Jingzhe thinks the titles of the books look weird, squinting Wanting to understand the small characters at the end of the name, Xiao Miao immediately blushed and cut open the interface.
"Brother Jingzhe." Xiao Miao asked him softly with a blushing face, "What do you think of our forum?"
She would never dare to ask about Xiao Chi's side, and Xiao Chi is by no means as silly and sweet as Brother Jing Zhe, he will definitely click on the post to read the content, and whenever he finishes reading Xiao Miao, he will be beaten.
Lin Jingzhe's original curiosity about the content was immediately diverted by the seldom dependent and trusting eyes of this cold-tempered younger sister. He felt a paternal love for this little girl who was almost the same age as him now.His kind eyes were full of encouragement: "Very well, go ahead and do it boldly. It's rare that you are so enthusiastic about independent career at such a young age. I will definitely support you."
This was the first time Xiao Miao heard encouragement directly from other people, her face turned redder, and she whispered: "But brother Jingzhe, the initial funds for our website have not been settled yet."
Lin Jingzhe asked: "How far is it?"
Xiao Miao replied apprehensively: "It's still... 100 million."
She just gave Xiao Chi a good beating for the 100 million yuan, but Lin Jingzhe waved her hand directly: "Go back and write a short-term development plan, and leave it to me next time. As long as you have perseverance and perseverance, I will give you the money." I can invest in you!"
This is my younger sister, who is as obedient and soft as Tiantian, let alone 100 million, so what if you want 1000 million?want something?Buy buy buy!
For a moment, he thought of Shen Tiantian's coquettish and shameless words before leaving Shen's house, saying that he was a bad brother and his smelly brother would not take time to take her out to play. Just buy a few beautiful new clothes. When the complex building and shopping mall are completed, why don't you just apply for an unlimited card for the little girl?No no no, this is too limited, why not set up an pocket money fund for Tiantian directly!
good idea!
Lin Jingzhe showed a gratified expression for Shen Tiantian jumping and cheering like a little sparrow in his imagination, but Xiao Miao at the side was already sluggish.
100 million! ! !
Lin Jingzhe just now... agreed?
Why is my feeling of being responsive to requests so illusory?
Xiao Miao had only heard that Shen Tiantian was showing off her brother buying this and that, how much money he gave and what he promised to do, but it was the first time in her life that she experienced such a moment of being spoiled without explanation.An unspeakable refreshing feeling climbed up her scalp along her heels, and she finally realized what kind of life Shen Tiantian lived!
So fucking envious! ! !
Xiao Miao was about to cry out, but she tried her best to endure, but her eyes were already filled with tears: "Brother Jingzhe...Brother..."
Lin Jingzhe came back to his senses, seeing that she was about to cry again for some unknown reason, she was startled immediately, and wiped her tears with a tissue.
He only thought that Xiao Miao was frightened by his admonition just now, and hurriedly comforted him in a gentle voice: "I didn't mean that, don't be pressured if you lose money, it's inevitable that you stumble a bit when you're doing business for the first time. I mean you guys Now that you have chosen this industry, you cannot just give up because of any difficulties in the future, you must persevere..."
It's okay if he doesn't comfort her, once she comforts her, Xiao Miao feels more and more intuitively the inhuman life she lived in the past. All of her envy towards Shen Tiantian and grievance towards herself emerges, and she throws herself into Lin Jingzhe's broad embrace. , almost wanted to cry aloud.
But at this moment, the door of the room was pushed open.
A familiar breath and momentum poured into the room from the gap, Xiao Chi entered with a blank expression, and then stretched out his hand——
He grabbed Xiao Miao's neckline and threw it aside.
In the next second, he pulled Lin Jingzhe up from his seat, hugged her, buried his head next to Lin Jingzhe's head, and breathed hard.
Realizing that he was not in the right mood, Lin Jingzhe hurriedly hugged him, stroked his back gently with one hand, combed his breath, and then asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? What happened? Tell me?"
Xiao Chi's heavy mood all the way back was finally dispelled by his clear voice, like the warm sunshine emerging from the thick fog, he sighed, he couldn't tell Lin Jingzhe about this matter, it's not good for the other party if he knew it, it's too dangerous .So he just shook his head silently.
Lin Jingzhe didn't ask any more questions, but hugged Xiao Chi silently, giving him silent support.
Xiao Miao was almost thrown into the air by her brother just now, and fell onto the bed in a daze for a long time before she could react. She jumped up angrily, forgetting all the touching and sad emotions, and looked angrily at the tall man in front of her. Ma Da just hugged Lin Jingzhe's suspected coquettish Xiao Chi——
What kind of brother is this!
It really looks more fake and shoddy!
She got up angrily, and tugged on Xiao Chi's sleeve, but she couldn't pull it off.
Xiao Miao kicked her brother's heel angrily, but there was still no response, but after a few seconds, Xiao Chi's voice came from Lin Jingzhe's neck, low and cold: "Kick again? "
Lin Jingzhe, whose sight was blocked: "???"
Xiao Chi straightened up from Lin Jingzhe's arms. His gloomy mood had improved a lot just now, and he sued Lin Jingzhe treacherously: "She kicked me just now."
Lin Jingzhe looked in surprise at Xiao Miao, who was standing beside him with a blushing face, who was cold and well-behaved, and just wanted to ask if you made a mistake.
Hurrah!He even filed a complaint!It's really stinky and shameless!Old and new grudges welled up in her heart, Xiao Miao threw herself on her brother's back and kicked her, "You stinking brother!! You are a big villain!!!"
"Say it again?!" Xiao Chi's expression changed, and he immediately turned around and pinched Xiao Miao's neck and pressed Xiao Miao into the soft bed. The neatly tied ponytail was untied and messed up, "Say it again? Do you have the guts to say it again?!"
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Xiao Miao turned her head and opened her mouth to bite her brother's hand.
Lin Jingzhe was dumbfounded: "..."
He stared blankly at the side for a long time before suddenly returning to his senses and rushing to grab Xiao Chi's hand, he couldn't believe the sudden childish behavior of the usually mature and stable Xiao Chi: "You you you you...you are so big and tall, when you Brother, how can you bully Miaomiao..."
Xiao Chi squinted his eyes and raised his hand to pinch Xiao Miao's cheeks, squeezed Xiao Miaojiao's good features into a pig's face, raised his head and looked down from top to bottom, his body remained motionless during Lin Jingzhe's persuasive movements, as if A mighty iron-blooded real man!
He snorted coldly: "I'm going to bully her!"
Lin Jingzhe: "..."
He spent a lot of effort and finally broke Xiao Chi's hand, and Xiao Miao ran away from the bed with a groan and hid behind Lin Jingzhe.
Xiao Chi shouted from the air: "Come out!"
Xiao Miao's big eyes burst out with hatred: "I don't! You are not my brother!"
Xiao Chi raised his eyebrows slightly on his calm face: "Oh?"
Xiao Miao's messy hair was pushed against her head like a chicken coop, seeing his expression made her liver tremble with fright, and she yelled: "Brother Jingzhe!!!"
Lin Jingzhe immediately gave up her life to protect Xiao Miao, and looked at Xiao Chi disapprovingly: "You are almost done."
With him in the way, Xiao Chi really didn't make a move. He received the complacent gaze from his sister in the blind corner of Lin Jingzhe's sight, which was completely different from the pitiful voice. : "Stop calling, let's go, I'll take you to my study and show you some comics."
"..." Xiao Miao's expression froze a little bit, and she couldn't say a word when facing the suspicious gaze that Shang Lin Jingzhe turned her head back.
Seeing Lin Jingzhe holding Xiao Chi's hand and gesturing to leave, her lips moved, and when the two figures in front were about to approach the gate, she burst into tears.
"Dad! Brother bullied me!!!" Xiao Miao wiped her tears and went out to complain. Xiao Shenxing, who heard the noise in the room and came out of the study to investigate, stood helplessly at the door, looking from her daughter's messy hair. Turning away, it landed on Lin Jingzhe's and Xiao Chi's clasped hands.
His head was aching, but the heavy reality that was weighing heavily on his heart, about Qi Kai, a compound kid who grew up watching him, was determined to go astray, was gradually dispelled by the chaotic scene in front of him, and became a reality. It has become a trivial life that is more sweet than worrying.Xiao Chi and Xiao Miao had been fighting since they were young, and they had quarreled not once or twice. Xiao Miao would usually sue him or her mother if she failed in a fight, so Xiao Shenxing also routinely taught his son a lesson: "It's outrageous! Such an adult I still don’t know how to give my sister a little bit!”
Xiao Chi turned his face away as if nothing had happened, and Papa Xiao took his eyes away from the tightly held hands of the two boys in the room, sighed complicatedly, and looked at Xiao Miao pouting at Lin Jingzhe and complaining coquettishly.
He shook his head, turned around and went downstairs, bumped into his wife at the top of the stairs, Yu Shuyuan looked back at the children, stared at him silently for a while, and showed a helpless smile.
Xiao Shenxing sighed in submission.
"This child." Yu Shuyuan didn't know which one she was talking about, she looked angry and funny, and shouted into the corridor at the top of her voice, "Stop making trouble! Come down to eat!"
Xiao Miao rolled her eyes at her brother, combed her hair with her fingers, took out the small crystal crown in her pocket, put it on, and went out with her usual upright, dignified and calm appearance.
"Look, I was scolded by your father." Lin Jingzhe also gave Xiao Chi a look, but he was helpless and unwilling to blame the other party. Ask, "Are you okay?"
Xiao Chi let out a long breath, and smiled at him: "It's much easier."
What's wrong?He was reprimanded by his father after fighting with his sister, but he was in such a good mood after the fight.
Lin Jingzhe absolutely couldn't understand this, but after Xiao Chi was happy, he became extremely clingy. When he went downstairs, Lin Jingzhe shook his hands in embarrassment: "You are almost the same, uncles and aunts are all upstairs. down."
After all, it is such a shocking thing for two men to be together, thinking about the old man's thoughts, Lin Jingzhe rarely shows too much intimacy with Xiao Chi in Xiao's house.Although Xiao Chi was dissatisfied in the past, he always cooperated, but today he didn't know what happened, instead of letting go, he hugged Lin Jingzhe directly on the stairs, and kissed him.
Realizing that the other party might have encountered something very touching today, Lin Jingzhe hesitated but still did not break free. Xiao Chi's complex emotions poured into his body through fiery lips and tongue. Lin Jingzhe accepted it and patiently comforted him. he.
Mother Xiao, who wanted to tell them to go downstairs for dinner for the second time, still left silently after a while.
At the dinner table, the couple's expressions were very complicated, Xiao Chi didn't seem to notice it, and he was picking up food for Lin Jingzhe the whole time.
Xiao Miao is also very abnormal today, different from her usual quiet appearance of not eating or sleeping, she and her brother held Lin Jingzhe like a competition, for the same meatball, the chopsticks of the brother and sister had a moment of dispute.
"..." Xiao's father bowed his head and just sipped the soup in silence, but for some reason, he suddenly said, "It's already March."
Mother Xiao let out an ah, and said, "Yes, it's March."
"What happened in March?" The old lady put down her chopsticks and counted, "Is the expiry date of the Swiss chocolate you put away for me last time approaching?"
"..." Xiao Shenxing said to his mother with a headache, "Mom, please don't..."
Seeing that her mother-in-law seemed to be arguing for reasons of thrift, Yu Shuyuan hurriedly interrupted before that: "If your wedding is in November this year, you can start preparing for it soon. Me and Xiao Chi's father also has to ask for leave from the unit earlier."
When she said this, the whole table was stunned, including the old lady who was still thinking about her chocolate.Lin Jingzhe forgot to chew the food in his mouth, swallowed it hastily, and put down the bowl after hesitation.
Yu Shuyuan's words made him feel a little baffled, what kind of marriage?Same-sex marriage doesn't exist in China at all. Wouldn't it be good for him and Xiao Chi to live in silence?When he mentioned the topic of marriage during the first meal last year, he thought the Xiao family was joking.
However, Xiao Chi nodded: "It's almost the same. Both the invitation and the venue need to be booked in advance."
The old lady had an expectant smile on her face: "Can the wedding wine be served at Yanshi Restaurant? I remember their brown sugar cakes are delicious."
Xiao's father hardened his heart and ignored his gray-haired old mother's request. He and his wife began to discuss the topic of entertaining guests seriously.
wait wait wait……
Lin Jingzhe couldn't help interrupting in the heated discussion that Xiao Chi also started to join later: "No...what's the matter with getting married?"
Xiao's mother froze for a moment, frowning with some doubts: "Didn't you agree before? Just when you came to see us last year."
Lin Jingzhe was puzzled for a while: "But... Xiao Chi and I... what about us..."
He said that he didn't understand for a long time, and everyone at the table looked at him in confusion.
Lin Jingzhe gritted his teeth and finally said it: "We two men... can't get a marriage certificate?"
"Of course I can't take it!" Xiao's mother said with an expression that you really have no common sense, "It's just a wine."
Lin Jingzhe's scalp was numb: "Should we still notify the guests? We two men...they won't..."
Xiao's father finally understood his cryptic meaning, and frowned suddenly: "What are they? Xiao Chi doesn't go into politics, so what's so scary? I'll see who dares to talk nonsense outside, I'll kill him... "
Xiao's mother hurriedly interrupted her husband's talk, and explained softly: "The marriage certificate is secondary, but the wine must be served. You two can't live in such a vague way. This is my responsibility. The most basic requirements for my son's marriage."
The logic of this family seems to be different from the social rules I have always accepted.
Lin Jingzhe met her serious and tenacious expression, and didn't speak for a long time.
Xiao Miao put down her chopsticks and sat aside and sighed——
Really blind.
Blind.
What he was going to talk about was the land in Wubao Mountain, and he and Qi Kai agreed to stay at the Yanshi Hotel that they often go to.The bureau was saved by Qi Kai. The consumption level of Yanshi’s restaurant seems to be not so easy for him to afford at the moment, but it is obvious that Qi Kai still has no clear understanding of his current economic situation. , I still saw a table of abalone wing belly as usual.
This can be regarded as a meeting of enemies. Since the establishment of Centrino Real Estate, Xiao Chi has never cooperated with the other party.In fact, the two grew up in the same compound, but they never got along with each other when they were young, and then there was Xiao Miao's incident, the contradictions snowballed, and the grievances had a long history.
Qi Kai was obviously a little guilty. After seeing Xiao Chi, he coughed and put on his confidence. He stood up and greeted him nonchalantly, "Mr. Xiao, sit, sit, sit."
Xiao Chi looked at him calmly, and couldn't help but think of his father's sigh - "I can't just watch him die."
It is true that one kind of rice feeds all kinds of people.
Xiao Chi didn't make things difficult for this person, so he took advantage of the situation and sat down.Thinking of the pitiful appearance of his younger sister who was kissed by Qi Kai before, she was so frightened and cried when she came back, and even went abroad for a few years to avoid her pitifully, he was still furious.It's just that he doesn't like to beat the dog in the water. The crazy revenge started a few years ago when Qi Kai was in the limelight, and it also achieved obvious results.
There is a secret rule among the children in the compound—conflicts between peers cannot be brought to the elders for resolution.
With Xiao Chi's own strength alone, Xiao Chi can also make the other party shy away from Xiao Miao now - Xiao Miao has been back to China for so long, and almost all his peers in the compound have seen him, except Qi Kai who dare not come to the door.
It's just that it's one thing to retaliate against oneself, but it's another thing now that the other party seeks his own death. Xiao Chi is not happy with Qi Kai's current state.When the Qi family's parents were still alive, they were also a very kind elders in his childhood.
Xiao Chi looked around the restaurant, and asked in a deep voice, "President Shi didn't come?"
Qi Kai also felt strange, normally speaking, Shi Nanxing would never give up on such an occasion, and the other party had cooperated with Xiao Chi on the shares of Sifeng Plaza before.It stands to reason that with such a large share of equity transfer, the two parties in the transaction are bound to accumulate a lot of friendship, but this time, Shi Nanxing borrowed money everywhere, and it seems that he has no intention of opening his mouth to Centrino Real Estate.Today's Wubaoshan share ownership negotiation, the other party even tried to evade in every possible way. When Qi Kai asked the reason, Shi Nanxing's face became scary, and he only said that seeing Xiao Chi's face would cause indigestion.
Of course, these words cannot be repeated according to the chapter, so Qi Kai just replied: "My brother-in-law is not feeling well today, but Mr. Xiao can rest assured that I can fully decide the equity of the Wubaoshan project."
Physical discomfort?
Xiao Chi smiled inexplicably: "That's right."
In fact, he had already found out who the mastermind behind the photos he desperately sent home years ago was not even himself—Xiao Chi didn’t care about this matter at all, wishing the whole world knew that he was with Lin Jingzhe is a couple, so that when he is not sticking to Lin Jingzhe, he can frighten the mad bees and butterflies around each other.Xiao Shenxing sent out the manpower for the investigation.
The elders have more worries, no matter whether the opponent's methods are high-level or low-level, they always want to know exactly who is watching behind the scenes and trying to trip their son.Checking this matter seems to be difficult but it is easy to say. The problem does not lie in the delivery process. The other party is very cautious. They chose different cities for the three photo delivery points. The farthest one even took four or five hours to arrive. And the content is also handled extremely perfect, without leaving any clues, even if it is handed over to professional criminal investigation police, it may not be possible to draw a definite conclusion.
The problem is... the person taking the picture.
In Yan City's recent circle of underground gangsters, there is a very popular private detective.
This private detective can be described as extremely high-profile, showing off to everyone that he earned 10 yuan a day by taking photos, and every time before showing off to others, he has to tell the other party mysteriously: "I only tell you this secret Please don't spread the word." In the end, he relied on his own big mouth to make this matter known to everyone.
He refused to disclose the content of the photos he took, but only said that he was a professional detective, and he wanted to show his professionalism and keep secrets for his employer.
But based on the employer information he leaked at the moment - including the other party's admission to the hospital, physical characteristics, and detailed behavior, people who are familiar with it can almost instantly guess that the employer who is stupid and rich is Shi Nanxing.
Xiao Chi was not surprised at all, Xiao Shenxing was speechless for a long time after getting the result quickly.
"Is he a fool?" Xiao Shenxing asked his son so seriously at the time, "It cost 10 yuan to find such a bum to cooperate with."
Xiao Chi was also very confused, mainly because he was confused why Shi Nanxing took the intimate photos of him and Lin Jingzhe and why he went out of his way to find some private detective.Although [-] is not much, it is not a small amount of money. He and Lin Jingzhe have never concealed it. Shi Nanxing wants evidence, so why not bring a camera to take pictures?
But Shi Nanxing's past bad deeds have already left a deep imprint on the families of these people in the compound. The father and son discussed for a long time but did not discuss anything.
But people with normal brain circuits will not smuggle and sell drugs.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Chi and Qi Kai got to the point, talking about the piece of land at the foot of Wubao Mountain.
This piece of land belongs to the south of the city. Although the location is relatively remote, it has a large area of more than 40 square meters. Compared with the previous land kings in the north of the city, it is only slightly smaller.Recently, the north of the city has been rapidly developed, and the price of land has risen. If this land is so large, if it is placed in the north, the value must have already increased by at least 30.00% compared to when it was photographed.It's a pity that the two cities in the north and the south are far away from each other. Although the land in the south of the city has increased with the increase in population in recent years, it is far less lively than in the north of the city.
Therefore, the normal market valuation of this land is probably in the range of 6000 million to 7000 million.
This is already lower than Qi Kai's bidding price at the beginning, and what's worse is that there is now a funeral home and crematorium built next to it!
Developers of other large and small real estate projects near Wubaoshan have already started to lower their prices, and Zhenxiong Real Estate is no exception.Recently, due to Shi Nanxing's urgent need for money, the shares in this land were sold. The latest valuation of Zhenxiong Real Estate's marketing department is that it can only recover less than 5000 million at most.
More than 4000 million, which has shrunk by half.
But even so, there are still few next family willing to take over.
Xiao Chi used the shortcomings of this land to bargain with him: "The equity and debt issues of Wubaoshan are too complicated. There are still more than 9000 million loans in the bank that have not been liquidated for this land."
"It's from Qiqing Real Estate, and it has nothing to do with us. The loan was also obtained in the name of their company, and the procedure was illegal. We just transferred the development rights to them. How could the bank approve the loan without investigating clearly? Qi Kai spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, the bank doesn't dare to come in blindly. Anyway, the money from Qiqing Real Estate will definitely not be paid. After they go bankrupt and liquidate, the bank will take back the land. When the time comes...cough cough."
He spoke eloquently, and almost said unrestrainedly, "When the crematorium and funeral home are built, the price of this land is probably not as good as it is now." He quickly swallowed it and glanced at Xiao Chi's face .
Xiao Chi lowered his eyes and was picking at the string of beads in his hand. There seemed to be a special barrier around him, separating him from the outside world.
Qi Kai was not sure if the other party had reacted, so he lifted his head and tried to deceive people: "Anyway, you are willing to take over now, and you have solved part of their debt problem in advance. No matter how stupid the bank is, it also knows the reason to stop losses in time."
After he finished speaking, he anxiously watched Xiao Chi's reaction. Xiao Chi didn't know if he was listening to him, but kept his eyes down, calm like a sea without waves.He suddenly said: "So during the transaction process, Centrino went directly with the bank?"
"Of course not!" Qi Kai hurriedly explained, "You don't have to worry, the loan will definitely be borne by us and Qiqing Real Estate, but the repayment date is at the end of this year, and there is still a while."
Xiao Chi looked up at his appearance, Qi Kai's eyes flickered, his expression was tense, his eyes were covered with black and blue, it was obvious that there was something extremely agitated, which made him unable to rest well for a long time.
"According to the current situation, the bank won't mind taking back the loan early." Xiao Chi asked, "Mr. Qi has other uses for the money, right?"
Qi Kai looked at it for a moment, and his expression was blank for a few seconds, but he reacted immediately, and forced a blank smile: "What is Mr. Xiao talking about, money is not all on the books. The longer the better."
Xiao Chi's sharp gaze used to be extraordinarily sharp, but now it seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts. He stared at Qi Kai's embarrassed smiling face, and when the beads in his hands collided, they made a slight sound, exuding a vast aura, heavy and heavy. The town is on Qi Kai's body.
The silence between the two sides lasted for several minutes. Xiao Chi didn't like to talk. Qi Kai, who was always eloquent and wanted to be in the limelight, was also strangely silent.
After a while, Xiao Chi sighed softly, stood up, and walked out of the table.
Qi Kai seemed to be in a daze, and immediately came back to his senses, and said in a voiceless voice: "Mr. Xiao..."
"It will be good for Zhenxiong to take someone to Centrino to sign the transfer contract tomorrow afternoon." Xiao Chi's footsteps did not stop because of his voice, and he went straight to the door. When he was about to leave, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Qi Kai's eyes.
Qi Kai stopped in fright, he almost thought that Xiao Chi was going to beat him up or something.
"President Qi." But Xiao Chi just spoke in the end, his voice was very low, like the evening bells of a temple striking every evening: "For the sake of your mother making dresses for Xiao Miao before, I advise you You say a word."
"The sea of suffering is boundless, turning back is the shore."
After the other party said this, in Qi Kai's stunned reaction, he seemed to think of something again, raised his eyebrows and said: "That's right."
He took out a large thick envelope from his coat pocket, and handed it over: "Please tell President Shi for me, don't keep doing these useless efforts if you have nothing to do."
Xiao Chi left as calmly as when he came, without moving a single bite of the delicacies on the table.
The business seemed to be concluded, but Qi Kai was not happy at all, he just sat blankly in this huge box, looking at the clear sky outside the window.
Years later, Yan City is still shrouded in the cold of winter, and the world is barren.
A bell drilled into his chest and hummed repeatedly.
Qi Kai suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at a place, and even got up and moved closer to the window to have a look.
The leafless tree in front of the hotel seemed to have withered on the top of a towering tree in winter, and a little bit of green life seemed to emerge.
But that point of color is too vague, Qi Kai felt tired after looking at it for a while.
He didn't know why he was suddenly so weak, he sat wearily on the sofa, and subconsciously opened the big envelope that Xiao Chi asked him to forward to Shi Nanxing.
The photos he entered almost made him jump on the spot, and then he recalled Xiao Chi's words just now, and he suddenly realized that the person who got these photos was probably Shi Nanxing.
Did Shi Nanxing know the secret of Lin Jingzhe and Xiao Chi?When did he know?
Qi Kai didn't know about this, but it seemed that many questions that he didn't understand before had been interpreted in an instant.The other party asked him to find a private detective and arranged for the company's driver to leave the province suddenly. Before that, he had wanted to find someone who could enter Xiao Chi's father's work unit.
When Qi Kai came home and saw Shi Nanxing playing chess with his grandfather, he felt a headache for a while.
Shi Nanxing immediately asked him, "How's the cooperation going?"
"It's done." Qi Kai put on a tired smile in the other party's eyes that suddenly lit up, "I'll go upstairs to rest first."
He returned to the room, took the volume of envelopes, and stood there hesitating for a long time, when footsteps came from outside the door, he immediately opened the drawer and put the envelopes inside.
As soon as Shi Nanxing entered the door, he saw Qi Kai lying motionless on the bed with his face stretched out.
Excited by the answer just now, he stepped forward and asked: "Don't pretend to be dead, tell me about the situation!"
Qi Kai sighed and said: "The negotiation is over, what Xiao Chi means is that tomorrow we can bring people to Centrino to sign a contract."
Shi Nanxing couldn't hide his joy. After hesitating for a long time, Qi Kai still asked the question that he didn't dare to ask in a low voice: "Uncle, why don't we... let Xiao Chi go directly with the bank?"
"Are you sick? What will Shapeng do without the money? Jiang Chacha has to worry about the bank loan, and we will pay it back at least at the end of the year." Shi Nanxing felt relieved that a heavy burden on his heart had finally been let go. , also sat down on the bed, and ordered, "Hurry up and let the people in the company start preparations. By the way, hurry up and contact Jiang Chacha, and let her cooperate with us to go to the bank to go through the procedures."
Xiao Chi received a call on the road, and Qi Kai finally decided to ask Zhenxiong to deal with the shares instead of the bank.
After returning home, he told Xiao Shenxing the news. Xiao Shenxing held the teacup in silence for a long time, just sighed, got up and went upstairs silently.
Xiao Chi watched his father's back disappear behind the study door, turned around and went to look for Lin Jingzhe.
Lin Jingzhe was playing computer with Xiao Miao, to be precise, the two were discussing Xiao Miao's investment in the website.
Lin Jingzhe was amazed by Xiao Miao's forward-thinking vision, regardless of profit or loss, the other party can think of investing in the Internet industry in this age, which is already quite a remarkable pioneering work.What's more, the field of online creation is not a cold bench that no one cares about in later generations. With the transition from PC to mobile terminal, this industry will only become more and more popular.
The changes of the times are often more reflected in the details of the lives of ordinary people, and the one chosen by more people is usually the current winner.People in this era may never have imagined that these highly influential newspapers and magazines will be squeezed into such a difficult living environment by the faster Internet in later generations.Lin Jingzhe is also a member of ordinary people in life. Compared with the nostalgic lifestyle, he is more willing to choose new technology that is more convenient for his life like most people-his new home, the ordinary LCD TV that used to be step-by-step Replaced by digital television, the Internet connects him every step of the way from the moment he enters the apartment door until he goes to bed and sleeps soundly.Computers, tablets and smartphones have completely replaced 80.00% of the things that people used to carry in their lives, not to mention paper books that are rare on the bookshelf and only have time to read when they are free. He doesn't even need to carry money and keys!
These changes have infiltrated into the details of his life quietly, so that he can't recall an exact time even now.In the past, he was just a follower of that era, but now, he has become a member who participated in it and started a new century!
Xiao Miao's age may not be very old, but she has already studied in college for several years. The other party intends to arrange a career in advance, and Lin Jingzhe absolutely agrees with it.So after Xiao Chi left in the morning, not only did he not leave, but he stayed and had a deep talk with Xiao Miao, asking in detail about the other party's ideas about investing and starting a business.
Under questioning, he couldn't help but admit with a sigh, probably none of the children who grew up in the compound were really simple.
Although his own sister, Shen Tiantian, was obedient, innocent and shy in this life, far less sinister and ruthless than when she confronted him tit-for-tat in her previous life, at a young age, she also talked to herself about investment and career a few days ago.Xiao Chi's younger sister, Xiao Miao, seems to be pure-hearted and unconcerned, seemingly untouched by the mundane world, but when it comes to business planning, she also hits the nail on the head and makes sense.
Even before they had any capital to enter, they had already established a complete set of rules, and recruited a considerable number of producers for the forum without any profit. Xiao Miao called up the background data of that forum to In his view, the flow of people in the current small forum is already considerable.
The forum is in the form of posting, and Lin Jingzhe can't understand the green color and layout. The hotter posts on the homepage seem to be some of the more popular books at the moment. Lin Jingzhe thinks the titles of the books look weird, squinting Wanting to understand the small characters at the end of the name, Xiao Miao immediately blushed and cut open the interface.
"Brother Jingzhe." Xiao Miao asked him softly with a blushing face, "What do you think of our forum?"
She would never dare to ask about Xiao Chi's side, and Xiao Chi is by no means as silly and sweet as Brother Jing Zhe, he will definitely click on the post to read the content, and whenever he finishes reading Xiao Miao, he will be beaten.
Lin Jingzhe's original curiosity about the content was immediately diverted by the seldom dependent and trusting eyes of this cold-tempered younger sister. He felt a paternal love for this little girl who was almost the same age as him now.His kind eyes were full of encouragement: "Very well, go ahead and do it boldly. It's rare that you are so enthusiastic about independent career at such a young age. I will definitely support you."
This was the first time Xiao Miao heard encouragement directly from other people, her face turned redder, and she whispered: "But brother Jingzhe, the initial funds for our website have not been settled yet."
Lin Jingzhe asked: "How far is it?"
Xiao Miao replied apprehensively: "It's still... 100 million."
She just gave Xiao Chi a good beating for the 100 million yuan, but Lin Jingzhe waved her hand directly: "Go back and write a short-term development plan, and leave it to me next time. As long as you have perseverance and perseverance, I will give you the money." I can invest in you!"
This is my younger sister, who is as obedient and soft as Tiantian, let alone 100 million, so what if you want 1000 million?want something?Buy buy buy!
For a moment, he thought of Shen Tiantian's coquettish and shameless words before leaving Shen's house, saying that he was a bad brother and his smelly brother would not take time to take her out to play. Just buy a few beautiful new clothes. When the complex building and shopping mall are completed, why don't you just apply for an unlimited card for the little girl?No no no, this is too limited, why not set up an pocket money fund for Tiantian directly!
good idea!
Lin Jingzhe showed a gratified expression for Shen Tiantian jumping and cheering like a little sparrow in his imagination, but Xiao Miao at the side was already sluggish.
100 million! ! !
Lin Jingzhe just now... agreed?
Why is my feeling of being responsive to requests so illusory?
Xiao Miao had only heard that Shen Tiantian was showing off her brother buying this and that, how much money he gave and what he promised to do, but it was the first time in her life that she experienced such a moment of being spoiled without explanation.An unspeakable refreshing feeling climbed up her scalp along her heels, and she finally realized what kind of life Shen Tiantian lived!
So fucking envious! ! !
Xiao Miao was about to cry out, but she tried her best to endure, but her eyes were already filled with tears: "Brother Jingzhe...Brother..."
Lin Jingzhe came back to his senses, seeing that she was about to cry again for some unknown reason, she was startled immediately, and wiped her tears with a tissue.
He only thought that Xiao Miao was frightened by his admonition just now, and hurriedly comforted him in a gentle voice: "I didn't mean that, don't be pressured if you lose money, it's inevitable that you stumble a bit when you're doing business for the first time. I mean you guys Now that you have chosen this industry, you cannot just give up because of any difficulties in the future, you must persevere..."
It's okay if he doesn't comfort her, once she comforts her, Xiao Miao feels more and more intuitively the inhuman life she lived in the past. All of her envy towards Shen Tiantian and grievance towards herself emerges, and she throws herself into Lin Jingzhe's broad embrace. , almost wanted to cry aloud.
But at this moment, the door of the room was pushed open.
A familiar breath and momentum poured into the room from the gap, Xiao Chi entered with a blank expression, and then stretched out his hand——
He grabbed Xiao Miao's neckline and threw it aside.
In the next second, he pulled Lin Jingzhe up from his seat, hugged her, buried his head next to Lin Jingzhe's head, and breathed hard.
Realizing that he was not in the right mood, Lin Jingzhe hurriedly hugged him, stroked his back gently with one hand, combed his breath, and then asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? What happened? Tell me?"
Xiao Chi's heavy mood all the way back was finally dispelled by his clear voice, like the warm sunshine emerging from the thick fog, he sighed, he couldn't tell Lin Jingzhe about this matter, it's not good for the other party if he knew it, it's too dangerous .So he just shook his head silently.
Lin Jingzhe didn't ask any more questions, but hugged Xiao Chi silently, giving him silent support.
Xiao Miao was almost thrown into the air by her brother just now, and fell onto the bed in a daze for a long time before she could react. She jumped up angrily, forgetting all the touching and sad emotions, and looked angrily at the tall man in front of her. Ma Da just hugged Lin Jingzhe's suspected coquettish Xiao Chi——
What kind of brother is this!
It really looks more fake and shoddy!
She got up angrily, and tugged on Xiao Chi's sleeve, but she couldn't pull it off.
Xiao Miao kicked her brother's heel angrily, but there was still no response, but after a few seconds, Xiao Chi's voice came from Lin Jingzhe's neck, low and cold: "Kick again? "
Lin Jingzhe, whose sight was blocked: "???"
Xiao Chi straightened up from Lin Jingzhe's arms. His gloomy mood had improved a lot just now, and he sued Lin Jingzhe treacherously: "She kicked me just now."
Lin Jingzhe looked in surprise at Xiao Miao, who was standing beside him with a blushing face, who was cold and well-behaved, and just wanted to ask if you made a mistake.
Hurrah!He even filed a complaint!It's really stinky and shameless!Old and new grudges welled up in her heart, Xiao Miao threw herself on her brother's back and kicked her, "You stinking brother!! You are a big villain!!!"
"Say it again?!" Xiao Chi's expression changed, and he immediately turned around and pinched Xiao Miao's neck and pressed Xiao Miao into the soft bed. The neatly tied ponytail was untied and messed up, "Say it again? Do you have the guts to say it again?!"
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Xiao Miao turned her head and opened her mouth to bite her brother's hand.
Lin Jingzhe was dumbfounded: "..."
He stared blankly at the side for a long time before suddenly returning to his senses and rushing to grab Xiao Chi's hand, he couldn't believe the sudden childish behavior of the usually mature and stable Xiao Chi: "You you you you...you are so big and tall, when you Brother, how can you bully Miaomiao..."
Xiao Chi squinted his eyes and raised his hand to pinch Xiao Miao's cheeks, squeezed Xiao Miaojiao's good features into a pig's face, raised his head and looked down from top to bottom, his body remained motionless during Lin Jingzhe's persuasive movements, as if A mighty iron-blooded real man!
He snorted coldly: "I'm going to bully her!"
Lin Jingzhe: "..."
He spent a lot of effort and finally broke Xiao Chi's hand, and Xiao Miao ran away from the bed with a groan and hid behind Lin Jingzhe.
Xiao Chi shouted from the air: "Come out!"
Xiao Miao's big eyes burst out with hatred: "I don't! You are not my brother!"
Xiao Chi raised his eyebrows slightly on his calm face: "Oh?"
Xiao Miao's messy hair was pushed against her head like a chicken coop, seeing his expression made her liver tremble with fright, and she yelled: "Brother Jingzhe!!!"
Lin Jingzhe immediately gave up her life to protect Xiao Miao, and looked at Xiao Chi disapprovingly: "You are almost done."
With him in the way, Xiao Chi really didn't make a move. He received the complacent gaze from his sister in the blind corner of Lin Jingzhe's sight, which was completely different from the pitiful voice. : "Stop calling, let's go, I'll take you to my study and show you some comics."
"..." Xiao Miao's expression froze a little bit, and she couldn't say a word when facing the suspicious gaze that Shang Lin Jingzhe turned her head back.
Seeing Lin Jingzhe holding Xiao Chi's hand and gesturing to leave, her lips moved, and when the two figures in front were about to approach the gate, she burst into tears.
"Dad! Brother bullied me!!!" Xiao Miao wiped her tears and went out to complain. Xiao Shenxing, who heard the noise in the room and came out of the study to investigate, stood helplessly at the door, looking from her daughter's messy hair. Turning away, it landed on Lin Jingzhe's and Xiao Chi's clasped hands.
His head was aching, but the heavy reality that was weighing heavily on his heart, about Qi Kai, a compound kid who grew up watching him, was determined to go astray, was gradually dispelled by the chaotic scene in front of him, and became a reality. It has become a trivial life that is more sweet than worrying.Xiao Chi and Xiao Miao had been fighting since they were young, and they had quarreled not once or twice. Xiao Miao would usually sue him or her mother if she failed in a fight, so Xiao Shenxing also routinely taught his son a lesson: "It's outrageous! Such an adult I still don’t know how to give my sister a little bit!”
Xiao Chi turned his face away as if nothing had happened, and Papa Xiao took his eyes away from the tightly held hands of the two boys in the room, sighed complicatedly, and looked at Xiao Miao pouting at Lin Jingzhe and complaining coquettishly.
He shook his head, turned around and went downstairs, bumped into his wife at the top of the stairs, Yu Shuyuan looked back at the children, stared at him silently for a while, and showed a helpless smile.
Xiao Shenxing sighed in submission.
"This child." Yu Shuyuan didn't know which one she was talking about, she looked angry and funny, and shouted into the corridor at the top of her voice, "Stop making trouble! Come down to eat!"
Xiao Miao rolled her eyes at her brother, combed her hair with her fingers, took out the small crystal crown in her pocket, put it on, and went out with her usual upright, dignified and calm appearance.
"Look, I was scolded by your father." Lin Jingzhe also gave Xiao Chi a look, but he was helpless and unwilling to blame the other party. Ask, "Are you okay?"
Xiao Chi let out a long breath, and smiled at him: "It's much easier."
What's wrong?He was reprimanded by his father after fighting with his sister, but he was in such a good mood after the fight.
Lin Jingzhe absolutely couldn't understand this, but after Xiao Chi was happy, he became extremely clingy. When he went downstairs, Lin Jingzhe shook his hands in embarrassment: "You are almost the same, uncles and aunts are all upstairs. down."
After all, it is such a shocking thing for two men to be together, thinking about the old man's thoughts, Lin Jingzhe rarely shows too much intimacy with Xiao Chi in Xiao's house.Although Xiao Chi was dissatisfied in the past, he always cooperated, but today he didn't know what happened, instead of letting go, he hugged Lin Jingzhe directly on the stairs, and kissed him.
Realizing that the other party might have encountered something very touching today, Lin Jingzhe hesitated but still did not break free. Xiao Chi's complex emotions poured into his body through fiery lips and tongue. Lin Jingzhe accepted it and patiently comforted him. he.
Mother Xiao, who wanted to tell them to go downstairs for dinner for the second time, still left silently after a while.
At the dinner table, the couple's expressions were very complicated, Xiao Chi didn't seem to notice it, and he was picking up food for Lin Jingzhe the whole time.
Xiao Miao is also very abnormal today, different from her usual quiet appearance of not eating or sleeping, she and her brother held Lin Jingzhe like a competition, for the same meatball, the chopsticks of the brother and sister had a moment of dispute.
"..." Xiao's father bowed his head and just sipped the soup in silence, but for some reason, he suddenly said, "It's already March."
Mother Xiao let out an ah, and said, "Yes, it's March."
"What happened in March?" The old lady put down her chopsticks and counted, "Is the expiry date of the Swiss chocolate you put away for me last time approaching?"
"..." Xiao Shenxing said to his mother with a headache, "Mom, please don't..."
Seeing that her mother-in-law seemed to be arguing for reasons of thrift, Yu Shuyuan hurriedly interrupted before that: "If your wedding is in November this year, you can start preparing for it soon. Me and Xiao Chi's father also has to ask for leave from the unit earlier."
When she said this, the whole table was stunned, including the old lady who was still thinking about her chocolate.Lin Jingzhe forgot to chew the food in his mouth, swallowed it hastily, and put down the bowl after hesitation.
Yu Shuyuan's words made him feel a little baffled, what kind of marriage?Same-sex marriage doesn't exist in China at all. Wouldn't it be good for him and Xiao Chi to live in silence?When he mentioned the topic of marriage during the first meal last year, he thought the Xiao family was joking.
However, Xiao Chi nodded: "It's almost the same. Both the invitation and the venue need to be booked in advance."
The old lady had an expectant smile on her face: "Can the wedding wine be served at Yanshi Restaurant? I remember their brown sugar cakes are delicious."
Xiao's father hardened his heart and ignored his gray-haired old mother's request. He and his wife began to discuss the topic of entertaining guests seriously.
wait wait wait……
Lin Jingzhe couldn't help interrupting in the heated discussion that Xiao Chi also started to join later: "No...what's the matter with getting married?"
Xiao's mother froze for a moment, frowning with some doubts: "Didn't you agree before? Just when you came to see us last year."
Lin Jingzhe was puzzled for a while: "But... Xiao Chi and I... what about us..."
He said that he didn't understand for a long time, and everyone at the table looked at him in confusion.
Lin Jingzhe gritted his teeth and finally said it: "We two men... can't get a marriage certificate?"
"Of course I can't take it!" Xiao's mother said with an expression that you really have no common sense, "It's just a wine."
Lin Jingzhe's scalp was numb: "Should we still notify the guests? We two men...they won't..."
Xiao's father finally understood his cryptic meaning, and frowned suddenly: "What are they? Xiao Chi doesn't go into politics, so what's so scary? I'll see who dares to talk nonsense outside, I'll kill him... "
Xiao's mother hurriedly interrupted her husband's talk, and explained softly: "The marriage certificate is secondary, but the wine must be served. You two can't live in such a vague way. This is my responsibility. The most basic requirements for my son's marriage."
The logic of this family seems to be different from the social rules I have always accepted.
Lin Jingzhe met her serious and tenacious expression, and didn't speak for a long time.
Xiao Miao put down her chopsticks and sat aside and sighed——
Really blind.
Blind.
