shadow in daylight gl
Chapter 75
An Huaixu looked blankly at the closed door, the sound of the car engine disappearing outside the door.
She curled up on the sofa, remembering that when she and Lu Linzhong first met, she burned Lu Linzhong's leg and took care of Lu Linzhong here.At that time, she was sleeping curled up on the sofa with Lu Linzhong reading a book beside her. She felt so peaceful when she woke up, and she was so nostalgic for the warm moments when the two of them were together. She once felt that the lights and floor tiles in this room were warm.
There were waves of dull pain in the back of her neck and shoulders, reminding her of what happened last night through the thin fabric.
The night is as cool as water, and the long and narrow alley seeps into the autumn of October. The young and hostile faces were swallowed up by the endless night at both ends of the alley.
The moonlight poured down, and the mottled tree shadows dotted the young man's body. His almond eyes were no longer as lively and playful as before. An Huaixu patted the ashes on his body, and walked out of the shadows in an extremely casual manner, "Man, I It is to be taken away."
"Just you?" A boy with dyed yellow hair spat at her.
Yang Ergou rushed forward, grabbed the yellow-haired boy by the collar, pointed to An Huaixu, "Boy, open your dog eyes and see who she is."
"Who?" The yellow-haired boy lifted Yang Ergou's hand, pushed him aside, and picked out his ears, "Isn't it just a little girl's film, so and so, your mother."
The brothers behind were laughing all over the place, and he laughed too.
An Huaixu rushed forward, picked up the wine bottle and hit him on the head, blood immediately covered his forehead.
Huang Mao was furious: "Mom, brothers, fuck her!"
At the end of the alley, a dozen gangsters with iron bars rushed in and surrounded An Huaixu and the others.
Yang Ergou looked at the crowd of people, elbowed Gouzi next to him in the chest, and shouted loudly: "Did you tell me there are only five or six people?"
Gouzi replied: "I didn't expect there were people outside." He turned his head and shouted to the person whose back was facing: "Liu Shan, you are so fucking awesome, did you dig someone's ancestral grave? You can make people call you ten!" A few people are coming to catch you."
Liu Shan pursed his lips tightly, his lips curled downwards, without making a sound.Yang Ergou stared at Liu Shan, no matter how urgent he was, the boring gourd would never utter a word, if it wasn't for the occasional few words, he almost thought Liu Shan was dumb.
"Boss, what should we do?" Yang Ergou looked at An Huaixu.
An Huaixu pinched the knuckles of his fingers, turned his neck to stretch his muscles and bones, and stared sharply at the people around him, "What should I do, let's fight."
So the battle kicked off with An Huaixu kicking a big man in the stomach.
Four people and a dozen people got into a scuffle, and the narrow alley seemed extremely crowded.The four-person team led by An Huaixu fought with bare hands against a group of gangsters who fucked real guys, and the result can be imagined.
An Huaixu was hit from behind with a stick, and immediately felt a burning pain in her chest. Before she had time to think about it, the other party had already raised the iron bar to give her a second blow. She stretched out her hand to block it, and the iron bar hit her directly. On the arm, the bone collided with the iron rod with a muffled sound.She waited for the opportunity to grab the iron rod and gave the opponent a kick, and the opponent flew one meter away.
An Huaixu stretched out the iron rod and stood up, looking sharply at the people around her, her eyes were bloodshot, she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and beckoned, "Come on."
The other party met An Huaixu's desperate eyes and backed away again and again.
An Huaixu clenched the iron rod in his hand, and walked forward step by step. The iron rod scratched the ground and made a piercing sound.The punks around were all frightened by this momentum, they all stopped their movements and unconsciously made way for her.
She walked to Liu Shan, turned her head and showed Huang Mao a playful smile, "If you don't want to fight, I will take him away."
Huang Mao covered his bleeding head, furiously: "Hit me."
An Huaixu's reckless style of play made the punks a little scared and didn't dare to go forward.
Huang Mao was overwhelmed by the wine bottle and felt that he had lost face. He grabbed the iron rod in the hand of the gangster next to him and rushed towards An Huaixu.
An Huaixu flashed nimbly and avoided him.
In the blink of an eye, Huang Mao held up the iron rod and rushed towards Liu Shan next to him.He thought that as long as Liu Shan was knocked out, it would be difficult for the little girl to take him away.
A figure flashed by.
There were two muffled "bangs".
After an unknown amount of time, An Huaixu had a vague feeling that someone was calling her, her eyes were dark, her mind was buzzing, and Yang Ergou seemed to be saying something in front of her eyes, but she couldn't hear clearly.After a few minutes, or even longer, she gradually became conscious.
"Boss."
Yang Ergou supported An Huaixu against the wall and called her name loudly.
Vision and hearing gradually recovered, An Huaixu smiled back at him with a hoarse voice: "It's okay, I'm still alive."
Yang Ergou clenched his fists. He had never been so angry before, and he yelled at An Huaixu:
"Are you fucking crazy? That's an iron rod. You don't want to die?"
"Where's Liu Shan?"
Yang Ergou pointed angrily at Liu Shan on the ground, "This kid is so good, is it worth letting you give him a stick?"
Liu Shan struggled to get up from the ground, and the huge thrust made his knees cracked. He limped and limped to An Huaixu, opened his mouth back and forth several times, and finally asked A voice came out: "Are you all right?"
An Huaixu shook his head with a relieved expression, "It's good that you're fine."
"It's quite capable." Huang Mao picked up An Huaixu's chin with an iron rod, leaned in front of her, and said with a smile: "Aren't you good at hitting?"
Angry in his heart, Yang Ergou stepped forward to push away the iron rod in Huang Mao's hand, kicked him to the ground with one kick, and put his elbow on his neck, "Don't f*ck move your feet."
Huang Mao didn't resist, and said lazily: "You think you're a good bird?" So he winked at the person next to him, "Pull him away."
Two tall and burly gangsters grabbed Yang Ergou with one hand and clamped it backwards. Yang Ergou refused to accept it and kicked one of them on the waist. Yang Ergou staggered two steps and fell to the ground.
"Hold them all down for me." After Huang Mao ordered, he picked a leaf and put it in his mouth, and approached An Huaixu.
An Huaixu leaned weakly against the wall. There were several deep and shallow marks on the long light blue shirt, and the khaki overalls were also stained with mud. The last button of the shirt was loose, and the neckline was slightly open. Exposing the delicate collarbone and slender neck, the fair face is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it, and there is still a smear of red blood at the corner of the mouth.The collision of red and white under the dim night light shook the yellow-haired spirit.
"You look so good-looking, why do you think you came out to fight." Huang Mao blew the dust on the iron rod, "Just now you smashed my head, which hand did you use?"
"Right hand" a little gangster answered.
An Huaixu glanced at him contemptuously, and said with a smile: "So I smashed your brain, I thought you didn't have that thing."
Huang Mao glanced at her without making a sound, took out a cigarette from his pocket, slowly took out one and lit it, took two deep breaths, then threw it on the ground, trampling back and forth several times with his feet.Backhanded the iron rod at hand, and swung it at An Huaixu, "I beat you so damn hard."
Gouzi whimpered and struggled desperately to resist.
An Huaixu closed her eyes resignedly, and there was a loud "ding" sound of metal collisions. The imaginary iron rod did not fall on her head. She half-opened her eyes, and a disc cast a shadow on her body.
A pan blocked the iron rod for her.An Huaixu looked up from the bottom of the pot, holding the handle with a pair of bony hands.
She turned her head slightly, and saw the face of the owner of these hands - Yi Ziyue.
"Brother, why bully a weak woman?"
Huang Mao turned his head and looked at the uninvited guest, "Where the hell did you get out of?"
"It's like this. As for me, I happened to be passing by to buy a pot. When I saw such a large group of people gathered here, I thought there was something exciting to watch. I also joined in to eat melons." Yi Zi said, spreading his hands.
"Mind your own business, get the hell out of here." Huang Mao pushed Yi Ziyue aside vigorously.
Yi Ziyue remained motionless, holding the frying pan in front of An Huaixu, "What if I don't?"
"Then try whether your pot is stronger or my stick is stronger."
"But I don't want to fight with you." Yi Ziyue touched the dented frying pan distressedly, "When I was eating melons just now, I called, and the policeman told me that they will be back in 10 minutes. Arrived." She raised her hand to look at the digital watch, and said in surprise, "You and I have been chatting for so long, it may come in two or three minutes."
Huangmao showed hesitation, as if he didn't quite believe it.Yi Ziyue took out his cell phone from his pocket and showed him the call log.
Most of these gangsters have previous convictions in the bureau, and no one wants to send them inside knowing that they will be caught.
An older gangster suggested to Huang Mao, "Why don't you ask the guy in the car what he means?"
Huang Mao nodded, and said to everyone: "Show me a few of them."
He ran to the depths of the alley, knocked on the rear window, and said to the people inside: "Boss, someone made trouble and called the police. I'm afraid Liu Shan won't be able to take him away today."
The person in the car had long hair hanging loose, and the brim of a black peaked cap blocked the upper half of her face. She only saw a delicate nose with slender nasal bones, a straight nose bridge, and two thin lips below.
She squeezed between her eyebrows, closed the laptop, "No."
Huang Mao was scared, "But when the note comes later, what should we say?"
The people in the car ignored him, looked up into the alley, and suddenly murmured: "Why is she here?"
Huang Mao didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What did you say?"
The car window was raised, "Nothing, let's go."
Huang Mao got the order, and ran back to the alley to greet the group of gangsters, "Let's retreat." Before leaving, he grabbed Liu Shan's collar viciously, "Boy, next time I catch you, let's see if there are any other gods come to save you."
After Huang Mao left, Yi Ziyue helped An Huaixu to stand up.
An Huaixu was seriously injured, with a large swelling on his head, and red marks all over his arms and back.She smiled at Yi Ziyue, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."
Yi Ziyue didn't ask her what happened.She and An Huaixu only have a schoolmate relationship, and even a fight is An Huaixu's private matter, so she can't let her talk about it.He just asked softly, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
An Huaixu shook his head, "I'm sorry to trouble you, you can go back at night."
Yi Ziyue nodded, put the frying pan back into the shopping bag, hung it on the bicycle he was riding, and then pushed the bicycle away.
Liu Shan limped up with Yang Ergou, and asked An Huaixu, "To the old place?"
"Ah."
At this time, Yi Ziyue who was not far ahead suddenly stopped, and turned his head slightly to look at them.
An Huaixu was startled.
She clearly saw Yi Ziyue looking straight at Liu Shan with complicated emotions intertwined in his eyes.
The text message alert sounded from the mobile phone in his pocket, which brought back An Huaixu's thoughts, and An Huaixu swiped open the screen of the mobile phone.
A text message from Xu Zhongxuan: I'm moving today, come to my house for dinner tonight.
***
After meeting Yi Ziyue, Lu Linzhong hurried to the company to attend the third quarter audit meeting of the financial department. The quarterly audit report sounded drowsy, but she still kept her spirits up.
"Miscalculated a number."
Hearing the sound, Lu Linzhong looked slightly sideways.Lin Yucen has not been an intern at Zhitian for a month, and this is the first time she has brought Lin Yucen to an audit meeting.
Lin Yucen picked up the pen and quickly wrote down a series of numbers in the notebook, "The total should be 27—"
"2749.43 million." Lu Linzhong rubbed the space between his brows and blurted out the result.
Seeing Lin Yucen's surprised eyes, Lu Linzhong just raised his eyebrows lightly. Although she was tired, it would not affect her computing ability, making a new intern look down upon her.
After the meeting was over, Xu Zhongxuan's secretary Ye Heng walked through the front door quickly, walked quickly behind Lu Linzhong, and said in a low voice, "Vice President Lu, congratulations."
The corners of Lu Linzhong's mouth trembled, and Ye Hengqiang's gossiping heart could be heard from Ye Hengqiang's suppressed excited voice without turning his head.
Lu Linzhong stopped, turned around and smiled at Lin Yucen: "Secretary Lin, I have something to do with Secretary Ye, you should go back to the office first."
Lin Yucen nodded and stepped into the elevator.
Colleagues outside the meeting room also went back to work, and Lu Linzhong glanced at Ye Heng calmly. Ye Heng's glowing eyes made her already bad mood worse.
Ever since Ye Heng met her in the parking lot downstairs of Xu Zhongxuan's house last time, the rumors that had been circulating between her and Xu Zhongxuan were "stone hammered" in an instant.Rumors spread to the board of directors that Representative Zhou actually wanted to use her relationship with Xu Zhongxuan to make a "beauty trick". repair.
She was caught in the middle, besides going to work and overtime every day, she was extremely busy, she also had to work as a part-time actress, and endured gossip from many people in the company.
"What happened again?"
"President Xu asked me to watch the day for her." Ye Heng squinted at Lu Linzhong's expression.
"Ok?"
"I checked the old calendar, September [-] is suitable for marriage."
After hearing this, Lu Linzhong rolled his eyes.
"You and Mr. Xu are not here this morning, are you~" Ye Heng showed a row of white teeth, and his nympho expression was exactly the same as that of a fan circle girl.
The corners of Lu Linzhong's lips were curved into an elegant arc, and he asked with a half smile: "Secretary Ye, would you like to invite me to marry Mr. Xu?"
Ye Heng choked, and shut up obediently.
"If there is nothing else, I'll go back to the office first."
Lu Linzhong was sitting in the office processing documents, and received a message from Xu Zhongxuan on her mobile phone, inviting her to have dinner at her new residence in Yufu Jiangdu.
She stared at the text message for a long time.
Just in time, someone knocked on the office door.
Lu Linzhong put down his phone, "Please come in."
Lin Yucen pushed the door and entered, holding a stack of materials in his arms, and said modestly: "Vice President Lu, I have some questions to ask you."
Lu Linzhong appreciates such a smart and studious student as Lin Yucen.She raised her chin, closed the folder spread out on the desktop, and made a place for Lin Yucen to put the documents.
"Actually, before the meeting, I drew up an audit report, and now I have revised it again. I hope you can help me take a look."
Lin Yucen is not only smart and studious, but also knows exactly what he wants to do. Such a person is perfectly suitable to be an heir.
Lu Linzhong took the materials and glanced at them, "Well done, there are a few details that could be more precise. I'm a little tired today, and I'll give you the revised ones tomorrow."
"it is good."
"Yu Cen, have you lived in Jincheng before?"
Lin Yucen shook his head.
"What about relatives and friends?"
Lin Yucen looked at Lu Linzhong suspiciously.
Lu Linzhong touched the ground on his toes, gracefully stood up from the computer desk, walked to the bonsai stand, and picked up the watering can to water the small-leaved sandalwood on it.
"Just take it as my concern as a teacher." Lu Linzhong said without any trace, "Jincheng is not like other tourist cities, which can be completed in three to five days. Only those who are familiar with this place know the fun of Jincheng. Where is it, do you need me to find a few young people from the company to accompany you out for a walk on the weekend?"
She picked up the scissors, trimmed off a few dead leaves on the branches, and said quietly: "After all, tomorrow is the weekend."
"No thanks."
Lu Linzhong pursed her lips. She remembered that the Lin family had been born and raised in Shanghai for several generations, and Lin Yusi's biological parents lived in Jincheng. Since they had never lived in Jincheng, the two families were separated by thousands of miles from the south to the north, and the children changed unexpectedly. The probability is almost zero.
Sensing Lin Yucen's puzzled gaze, Lu Linzhong changed the subject casually, and said briskly, "Zhongxuan moves today, do you want to have a meal together as a celebration?"
"it is good."
"..." Lu Linzhong never thought that Lin Yucen would agree, she twitched the corners of her mouth, not advancing or retreating.After a few seconds of silence, she felt a stare staring directly at her and her back felt cold. She turned her head and glanced at the half-hidden door.
Standing outside the door was a cold and elegant figure.
Lu Linzhong was stunned, and quickly walked over to open the door, the low pressure rushing in made the surrounding temperature drop in a straight line.
She turned sideways and smiled awkwardly: "Let me introduce each other, Mr. Xu, this is Lin Yucen, the company's new intern. Yucen, this is—"
"We know each other." Xu Zhongxuan interrupted her.
Lu Linzhong glanced at Lin Yucen and then at Xu Zhongxuan.There seems to be an atmosphere between the two of them where the tip of the needle is facing each other, and no one can understand the other.
"Well, it's good to know each other." Lu Linzhong raised his eyebrows, then narrowed his eyes, and continued, "Yu Cen also wants to celebrate your housewarming tonight."
Lin Yucen interjected, "If Mr. Xu is inconvenient, I won't bother you."
"Let's go together." Xu Zhongxuan said displeased.
Xu Zhongxuan's new residence was only a ten-minute drive away from the company. Along the way, the three of them casually chatted about some insignificant things in the company, and the atmosphere was not too embarrassing.
Lin Yucen followed the two into the house. The layout of the house is very simple, with white as the base tone and light-colored furniture. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room extend out to a large terrace. You can see the nearby Jinhe River and the distant Xizi Mountain.
The person who came out of the kitchen smiled gently and helped them get the slippers, "Hello, I'm Meng Qiu."
Lin Yucen realized that this was the new legal consultant hired by Zhitian.Three months ago, they had met in Genting Garden, when she handed envelopes to the new legal consultant and Xu Zhongxuan.
"Hello, Lawyer Meng, we have met."
Meng Qiu nodded and asked, "Go sit on the sofa for a while? Are you used to drinking black tea?"
Lin Yucen nodded.
The door opened with a "click", and Xu Zhongxuan and Lu Linzhong walked into the same room one after the other.
Lin Yucen wondered in his heart: Is it true that the gossip spread by President Xu and Vice President Lu in the company is true?But why did Lawyer Meng show up at Mr. Xu's house again?
Sensing Lin Yucen's gaze, Meng Qiu explained: "Mr. Xu and I used to be classmates. Mr. Xu likes to eat the food I cook. I'm here today to congratulate her on her housewarming."
"Ah."
The sky gradually darkened, and Lin Yucen walked across Meng Qiu to the terrace. The lights of the road and the building were turned on on time at seven o'clock, reflecting her handsome and cool silhouette, and her facial features were illuminated warmly and peacefully under the bright lights, like A bird perched on a branch by chance looks peaceful and peaceful.
"Dong dong dong—" There was a knock on the door outside the house, with such force that the crystal lamps hanging upside down in the room shook.
Meng Qiu went to open the door. An Huaixu stood outside the door, glanced into the room, raised his hand and dialed the phone: "Master, please bring it up, the 27th floor."
Xu Zhongxuan pushed the door out impartially, and said to An Huaixu, "What are you preparing for?"
"I have prepared new entertainment for you."
Lu Linzhong came out of the room right after him, met An Huaixu's eyes, and exchanged glances, implying that they should still behave harmoniously in front of outsiders.
There was a lot of movement in the living room, Lin Yucen turned around.
An Huaixu stood in the living room, with short shoulder-length hair, a white jacket and black cropped trousers, long legs and thin waist, excellent proportions, elegant silhouette, harmoniously forming a clean and youthful atmosphere.
Lin Yucen frowned and clenched the black teacup in his hand.
We meet again, An Huai Xu.
The last time they met was yesterday.
Lin Yucen pushed open the floor-to-ceiling windows, walked to the side of the sofa and sat down. An Huaixu directed the two masters to move the mahjong machine, a new entertainment project, into the study.
Lu Linzhong was sitting on the sofa watching TV, from time to time he greeted Lin Yucen to eat fruit, and occasionally glanced at An Huaixu pretending to be casual.
An Huaixu was busy with the mahjong machine, and went straight into the kitchen to help Meng Qiu.
"Huaixu, help me take out this bowl of soup." Meng Qiu called An Huaixu, "What are you thinking?"
"Huh? I didn't think about anything..."
"You can go out for dinner." Meng Qiu took off his apron, walked to the table and said warmly to the three people in the living room, "Dinner was delayed, but it's finally done."
An Huaixu put away her sullen expression, and randomly chose a side dining chair to sit down. Only then did she remember that she hadn't greeted the young man across from her.
An Huaixu asked, "Who is this?"
Lin Yucen turned his face to the side and bowed his lips politely at her.
Lu Linzhong glanced at An Huaixu, and said flatly, "Have you forgotten so soon?"
"It looks familiar." An Huaixu pretended not to hear Lu Linzhong's words, "Where did we meet?"
"Genting Gardens."
The cold face in front of him overlapped with a blurred shadow in An Huaixu's memory, and An Huaixu smiled awkwardly.
Lu Linzhong's eyes sank, and he added another sentence: "Remember?"
"..."
Lin Yucen nodded and introduced himself, "My name is Lin Yucen."
"Lin, Yu Cen?" An Huaixu was so startled that the white porcelain spoon in his hand hit the small soup bowl hard, making a "ding" sound.
Lin Yucen, Lin Yusi's biological sister.If she had married Lin Yusi at that time, the person sitting across from her today would be her sister-in-law.An Huaixu felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and it took him a long time to pull out a wrinkled smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
"En." Lin Yucen responded to An Huaixu lightly.
An Huaixu managed to stay through dinner, and Xu Zhongxuan dragged her to play a few rounds of cards. By the time she and Lu Linzhong drove Lin Yucen back to his residence, it was already past ten o'clock.
There was one person missing in the car, and the space suddenly felt much larger. The moonlight illuminated one side of the tree brightly, and the shadow under the tree became darker, and the road surface was covered with black holes like black holes one after another.
The two finally didn't have to force a smile in front of others and cooperated with each other.Lu Linzhong glanced at An Huaixu from the rearview mirror, his lips moved, and finally he didn't speak, but just tapped the accelerator to start the car.
The car drove back to Lanting Famous Villa and stopped in front of the building.
Lu Linzhong turned his head to look at An Huaixu: "Are you going out to play tonight?"
"Ah."
Lu Linzhong raised his hand and dropped the inner lock, "Can't you not go?"
An Huaixu was silent.
Lu Linzhong stroked the lines on the steering wheel with her fingertips, she thought for a while, and said softly, "Or take me there."
"You don't like my friends, you don't like me interacting with them in the first place." An Huaixu put one hand in his trouser pocket, and held the phone in the other to answer the message.
The two were silent for a long time, Lu Linzhong opened the car door: "Go into the room, I have something to tell you."
An Huaixu shuffled into the room, sat on the sofa, and waited for Lu Linzhong to speak.
Lu Linzhong walked into the bathroom on the first floor at the same time, squeezed two pumps of hand sanitizer into the palm of his hand, rubbed and flushed, and occasionally raised his head to look at the movement of the living room through the crack of the door.
She opened the door and sat beside An Huaixu, turned sideways and held the zipper of An Huaixu's white jacket.
"What are you doing?" An Huaixu pressed the zipper and stepped back.
Lu Linzhong's face was very cold, and his usually lively eyes were now like a pool of stagnant water, becoming deep and deserted.
"You let me go."
The flimsy clothing was wrinkled under the hands of the two, An Huaixu lowered his voice: "What exactly do you want to do?"
Lu Linzhong held An Huaixu's right wrist: "Take off your coat."
"If you want to take it off, I'll make you take it off?" An Huaixu grabbed the zipper of his jacket tightly.
The two looked at each other, refusing to give in to each other.
Lu Linzhong frowned, and even his eyes were filled with anger, as if what An Huaixu said just now was like a spark, and it landed on the introduction without any mistakes.
"Boom" the zipper of the white jacket came loose from the pull tab during the two people's struggle.
An Huaixu grabbed the collar, she felt that Lu Linzhong at this moment was strange, cold, angry, and irrational.Even if they had quarreled in the past, she could see that Lu Linzhong restrained his emotions.
An Huaixu slowly loosened his collar, and Lu Linzhong quickly took off the white jacket.
Lu Linzhong half-kneeled on the sofa, holding the hem of the white shirt inside.Her hand paused, and quickly flipped the palm of her hand, and the buttons were undone one by one, revealing a large area of pink skin and light-colored underwear in front of her.
Lu Linzhong didn't look much, and raised his hand to take off An Huaixu's shirt.
It matched what Yi Ziyue said in the car today.There is a thick red mark on the arm, several red marks criss-crossing on the back, and three bruises on the shoulder. The red marks should be left from a fight with someone yesterday, and the bruise marks may have been there for some time.
Why did An Huaixu never tell her these things?
Don't those crazy men and women who are addicted to emotions want to stick together and become one?Is it because she isn't interesting enough or attractive enough, so An Huaixu needs to fill her life with other things?
An Huaixu pushed Lu Linzhong away with too much force, and Lu Linzhong fell down on the sofa, his eyes filled with sadness, like fragile thin ice.
An Huaixu clenched her fists. She knew that she had used too much force just now, but apologizing was always so rare.She turned her face away unnaturally, and buttoned up her shirt: "Have you seen enough? I'm going to sleep."
Lu Linzhong stared sadly at An Huaixu's back. The figure seemed to be stuck in a swamp, unable to get out because he couldn't find a point of strength.
This swamp is called disappointment.
The night is a long night. Lu Linzhong leaned on the sofa, feeling everything around her was pressing heavily on her. The sound of the second hand moving in the clock was amplified countless times by the silence. Closing her eyes and falling asleep was just a meaningless movement. Her thoughts Completely involved in their feelings.
It turns out that as time goes on, the joy of seeing each other late, the sadness of not being in love, and the promises of each other will be wiped out into dross, leaving only a resentful couple.
Just long enough.
She has dated successive girlfriends, each of which lasted only a short time.Although every time a relationship ends, the other party is mostly reluctant to part with her, but she thinks very clearly in her heart that she is always looking for a sense of novelty, and as long as that feeling starts to disappear, it indicates that this relationship is about to end. It's over, she should give love a death sentence gracefully and chicly.
An Huaixu and she are both people who like novelty and excitement, and they are attracted to each other.But as time went by, she wanted to be with An Huai Xu forever, and the future would last forever.
But the relationship between her and An Huaixu is too much like dry wood meeting a raging fire. The fire comes fiercely, but it also tends to go away quickly.
Lu Linzhong thinks back on the past 30 years. She has achieved a little success in her career, and she is proud of her emotions. Every step is glamorous and beautiful. She is praised by others. Maybe she has been proud for too long, and God can’t get used to it. up.
The sunshine in the early autumn morning quietly jumped in from the French windows, clearly announcing to the people in the house that it was a good sunny day. Lu Linzhong woke up on the sofa, and the hour hand of the living room clock had already set on the number eleven.
She sat on the armrest of the sofa for a while. They promised Xu Zhongxuan and Meng Qiutong to go to Xizishan Park to relax last night, but the door of the side bedroom on the second floor was still closed.
Lu Linzhong stepped up the stairs, walked to the second floor, and met An Huaixu face to face.
The two looked at each other, then one turned around and the other turned their faces.
"It's time to go out."
"Yeah. I know."
Xizihu Mountain is a unique scenery in the western suburbs of Jincheng. When you look up in the clear autumn and cloudless weather, the forest on the mountain is full of red and yellow, which is very bright. The West Lake at the foot of the mountain is a piece of green jade, which is reflected by the sun from time to time. The sparkling brilliance, the sky, the water, the mountains and the mountains complement each other, and there is always a feeling of someone walking in the painting when walking in it.
Lu Linzhong and Xu Zhongxuan walked together, their eyes fell on An Huaixu's back from time to time, with a sullen expression, as if no matter how beautiful the scenery was, they couldn't catch her eyes.
"Did you quarrel?"
Lu Linzhong hooked her lips reluctantly, neither admitting nor denying, the little desire in her heart to confide in others was like the autumn wind blowing over the dead leaves by the roadside, before she could reach out her hand to feel it, the autumn wind disappeared.
Xu Zhongxuan and Lu Linzhong walked along the cobblestone path for a few minutes, and suddenly said, "Huai Xu is a very good girl."
"Mr. Xu, I never thought there was anything wrong with Xiao Xu." Lu Linzhong's eyes were heavy, she was speaking the truth, even though they had so many unhappiness, she never thought it was An Huaixu's personal fault.
An Huaixu and Meng Qiu stood in front of the stall, picking and choosing, and bought a water gun.Meng Qiu gestured to them, walked to the pier, took An Huaixu into a small boat, and slowly left the shore.
Lu Lin Zhong Xiuyi frowned, staring at the water surface worriedly.
"Meng Qiu can swim, so you don't have to worry too much about Huai Xu."
The two walked to the water's edge, and the boat An Huaixu and Meng Qiu were sitting on had already moored near the center of the lake, and it looked like a leaf from a distance.
"Do you two take a boat?" A staff member came over and asked.
Lu Linzhong hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Xu Zhongxuan.
Xu Zhongxuan: "I just have something to tell you."
At three or four in the afternoon after autumn, when the sun was slanting to the west, Lu Linzhong stood on the pier, and the lake wind blew up her clothes and long brown curly hair, and her thick eyebrows and eyelashes were also coated with a layer of golden light by the sun.
Xu Zhongxuan stood in the boat and stretched out his hand to Lu Linzhong: "Come here, the boat is very stable."
When the West Lake is viewed from a distance, it looks like a mirror, but when you look closer, there are layers of soft waves on the water surface, shaking the pleasure boats from side to side.
Lu Linzhong took a deep breath. She was afraid of getting close to water since she was a child, and she had the experience of falling into the water when she was ten years old.
She took two steps forward and took Xu Zhongxuan's hand: "Thank you."
With her feet off the ground and stepping on the board of the boat, Lu Linzhong lost support all of a sudden, her face turned pale, and she couldn't help but hold Xu Zhongxuan's hand tightly.
There are some things she doesn't want to experience again.
She really didn't want to experience that feeling of struggling up and down in cold water and being suffocated in despair.
"Don't be afraid." Xu Zhongxuan comforted her.
"Ah."
A gust of lake wind blew past, and the boat swayed from side to side. Lu Linzhong became nervous and his feet went limp. Fortunately, Xu Zhongxuan supported his waist.
"Is it seasick?"
"Fortunately."
Lu Linzhong sat down slowly, grasped the board of the boat vigorously, and the feeling that his heart was about to jump out of his chest finally eased a little. The childhood nightmare may be forgotten, but this fear has been rooted in his blood, and occasionally he will run away at a certain time. Come out and be reminded of its existence.
No matter how long it has passed, it will never disappear. Xu Zhongxuan made sure that the boat would not swing randomly, so he let people loosen the rope on the shore.
The end of October is the most beautiful time of the year for Xizi Lake and Xizi Mountain. Only in the middle of the lake can you enjoy the scenery here and feast your eyes.
The lake breeze is gentle, and the oars make shallow water waves. The water gently kisses the hull of the boat, like a mother caressing her child.
The boat was floating on the lake, Lu Linzhong deliberately looked into the distance, not to let himself be so scared, "What do you think, don't you worry that Lin Yucen will hinder you when you put Lin Yucen in Zhitian?" Xu Zhongxuan let go of the wooden pulp in his hand , Let the boat swing leisurely towards the center of the lake.
Lu Linzhong sat restlessly in the boat, unwilling to answer Xu Zhongxuan's words.
"Ok?"
Lu Linzhong reluctantly shifted his gaze from a distance to the opposite side, "The first time I met Lin Yucen, I felt that she had really inherited Lin Zhao's genes. A businessman is sharp, deep and decisive, and she seems to be born with it."
"Hmm..." In fact, Lu Linzhong wanted to say that she felt that Xu Zhongxuan was also a born businessman.But the calm water in front of her was like a huge dark green whirlpool, which seemed to engulf the two small boats at any moment, and her words disappeared without a trace.
"The matter of the Lin Group will only become more and more difficult." Xu Zhongxuan knew why Lu Linzhong worked overtime recently. She glanced at An Huaixu and said softly, "If it is difficult, you can put this matter aside for now. put."
"Uh, good." Lu Linzhong looked at the surface of the water, it was getting farther and farther away from the shore, and the lake wind blowing from time to time would make the boat shake from side to side, and her palms were soaked in a thin layer of sweat.
"Are you uncomfortable?" Xu Zhongxuan asked with concern.
Suddenly not far from behind
She curled up on the sofa, remembering that when she and Lu Linzhong first met, she burned Lu Linzhong's leg and took care of Lu Linzhong here.At that time, she was sleeping curled up on the sofa with Lu Linzhong reading a book beside her. She felt so peaceful when she woke up, and she was so nostalgic for the warm moments when the two of them were together. She once felt that the lights and floor tiles in this room were warm.
There were waves of dull pain in the back of her neck and shoulders, reminding her of what happened last night through the thin fabric.
The night is as cool as water, and the long and narrow alley seeps into the autumn of October. The young and hostile faces were swallowed up by the endless night at both ends of the alley.
The moonlight poured down, and the mottled tree shadows dotted the young man's body. His almond eyes were no longer as lively and playful as before. An Huaixu patted the ashes on his body, and walked out of the shadows in an extremely casual manner, "Man, I It is to be taken away."
"Just you?" A boy with dyed yellow hair spat at her.
Yang Ergou rushed forward, grabbed the yellow-haired boy by the collar, pointed to An Huaixu, "Boy, open your dog eyes and see who she is."
"Who?" The yellow-haired boy lifted Yang Ergou's hand, pushed him aside, and picked out his ears, "Isn't it just a little girl's film, so and so, your mother."
The brothers behind were laughing all over the place, and he laughed too.
An Huaixu rushed forward, picked up the wine bottle and hit him on the head, blood immediately covered his forehead.
Huang Mao was furious: "Mom, brothers, fuck her!"
At the end of the alley, a dozen gangsters with iron bars rushed in and surrounded An Huaixu and the others.
Yang Ergou looked at the crowd of people, elbowed Gouzi next to him in the chest, and shouted loudly: "Did you tell me there are only five or six people?"
Gouzi replied: "I didn't expect there were people outside." He turned his head and shouted to the person whose back was facing: "Liu Shan, you are so fucking awesome, did you dig someone's ancestral grave? You can make people call you ten!" A few people are coming to catch you."
Liu Shan pursed his lips tightly, his lips curled downwards, without making a sound.Yang Ergou stared at Liu Shan, no matter how urgent he was, the boring gourd would never utter a word, if it wasn't for the occasional few words, he almost thought Liu Shan was dumb.
"Boss, what should we do?" Yang Ergou looked at An Huaixu.
An Huaixu pinched the knuckles of his fingers, turned his neck to stretch his muscles and bones, and stared sharply at the people around him, "What should I do, let's fight."
So the battle kicked off with An Huaixu kicking a big man in the stomach.
Four people and a dozen people got into a scuffle, and the narrow alley seemed extremely crowded.The four-person team led by An Huaixu fought with bare hands against a group of gangsters who fucked real guys, and the result can be imagined.
An Huaixu was hit from behind with a stick, and immediately felt a burning pain in her chest. Before she had time to think about it, the other party had already raised the iron bar to give her a second blow. She stretched out her hand to block it, and the iron bar hit her directly. On the arm, the bone collided with the iron rod with a muffled sound.She waited for the opportunity to grab the iron rod and gave the opponent a kick, and the opponent flew one meter away.
An Huaixu stretched out the iron rod and stood up, looking sharply at the people around her, her eyes were bloodshot, she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and beckoned, "Come on."
The other party met An Huaixu's desperate eyes and backed away again and again.
An Huaixu clenched the iron rod in his hand, and walked forward step by step. The iron rod scratched the ground and made a piercing sound.The punks around were all frightened by this momentum, they all stopped their movements and unconsciously made way for her.
She walked to Liu Shan, turned her head and showed Huang Mao a playful smile, "If you don't want to fight, I will take him away."
Huang Mao covered his bleeding head, furiously: "Hit me."
An Huaixu's reckless style of play made the punks a little scared and didn't dare to go forward.
Huang Mao was overwhelmed by the wine bottle and felt that he had lost face. He grabbed the iron rod in the hand of the gangster next to him and rushed towards An Huaixu.
An Huaixu flashed nimbly and avoided him.
In the blink of an eye, Huang Mao held up the iron rod and rushed towards Liu Shan next to him.He thought that as long as Liu Shan was knocked out, it would be difficult for the little girl to take him away.
A figure flashed by.
There were two muffled "bangs".
After an unknown amount of time, An Huaixu had a vague feeling that someone was calling her, her eyes were dark, her mind was buzzing, and Yang Ergou seemed to be saying something in front of her eyes, but she couldn't hear clearly.After a few minutes, or even longer, she gradually became conscious.
"Boss."
Yang Ergou supported An Huaixu against the wall and called her name loudly.
Vision and hearing gradually recovered, An Huaixu smiled back at him with a hoarse voice: "It's okay, I'm still alive."
Yang Ergou clenched his fists. He had never been so angry before, and he yelled at An Huaixu:
"Are you fucking crazy? That's an iron rod. You don't want to die?"
"Where's Liu Shan?"
Yang Ergou pointed angrily at Liu Shan on the ground, "This kid is so good, is it worth letting you give him a stick?"
Liu Shan struggled to get up from the ground, and the huge thrust made his knees cracked. He limped and limped to An Huaixu, opened his mouth back and forth several times, and finally asked A voice came out: "Are you all right?"
An Huaixu shook his head with a relieved expression, "It's good that you're fine."
"It's quite capable." Huang Mao picked up An Huaixu's chin with an iron rod, leaned in front of her, and said with a smile: "Aren't you good at hitting?"
Angry in his heart, Yang Ergou stepped forward to push away the iron rod in Huang Mao's hand, kicked him to the ground with one kick, and put his elbow on his neck, "Don't f*ck move your feet."
Huang Mao didn't resist, and said lazily: "You think you're a good bird?" So he winked at the person next to him, "Pull him away."
Two tall and burly gangsters grabbed Yang Ergou with one hand and clamped it backwards. Yang Ergou refused to accept it and kicked one of them on the waist. Yang Ergou staggered two steps and fell to the ground.
"Hold them all down for me." After Huang Mao ordered, he picked a leaf and put it in his mouth, and approached An Huaixu.
An Huaixu leaned weakly against the wall. There were several deep and shallow marks on the long light blue shirt, and the khaki overalls were also stained with mud. The last button of the shirt was loose, and the neckline was slightly open. Exposing the delicate collarbone and slender neck, the fair face is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it, and there is still a smear of red blood at the corner of the mouth.The collision of red and white under the dim night light shook the yellow-haired spirit.
"You look so good-looking, why do you think you came out to fight." Huang Mao blew the dust on the iron rod, "Just now you smashed my head, which hand did you use?"
"Right hand" a little gangster answered.
An Huaixu glanced at him contemptuously, and said with a smile: "So I smashed your brain, I thought you didn't have that thing."
Huang Mao glanced at her without making a sound, took out a cigarette from his pocket, slowly took out one and lit it, took two deep breaths, then threw it on the ground, trampling back and forth several times with his feet.Backhanded the iron rod at hand, and swung it at An Huaixu, "I beat you so damn hard."
Gouzi whimpered and struggled desperately to resist.
An Huaixu closed her eyes resignedly, and there was a loud "ding" sound of metal collisions. The imaginary iron rod did not fall on her head. She half-opened her eyes, and a disc cast a shadow on her body.
A pan blocked the iron rod for her.An Huaixu looked up from the bottom of the pot, holding the handle with a pair of bony hands.
She turned her head slightly, and saw the face of the owner of these hands - Yi Ziyue.
"Brother, why bully a weak woman?"
Huang Mao turned his head and looked at the uninvited guest, "Where the hell did you get out of?"
"It's like this. As for me, I happened to be passing by to buy a pot. When I saw such a large group of people gathered here, I thought there was something exciting to watch. I also joined in to eat melons." Yi Zi said, spreading his hands.
"Mind your own business, get the hell out of here." Huang Mao pushed Yi Ziyue aside vigorously.
Yi Ziyue remained motionless, holding the frying pan in front of An Huaixu, "What if I don't?"
"Then try whether your pot is stronger or my stick is stronger."
"But I don't want to fight with you." Yi Ziyue touched the dented frying pan distressedly, "When I was eating melons just now, I called, and the policeman told me that they will be back in 10 minutes. Arrived." She raised her hand to look at the digital watch, and said in surprise, "You and I have been chatting for so long, it may come in two or three minutes."
Huangmao showed hesitation, as if he didn't quite believe it.Yi Ziyue took out his cell phone from his pocket and showed him the call log.
Most of these gangsters have previous convictions in the bureau, and no one wants to send them inside knowing that they will be caught.
An older gangster suggested to Huang Mao, "Why don't you ask the guy in the car what he means?"
Huang Mao nodded, and said to everyone: "Show me a few of them."
He ran to the depths of the alley, knocked on the rear window, and said to the people inside: "Boss, someone made trouble and called the police. I'm afraid Liu Shan won't be able to take him away today."
The person in the car had long hair hanging loose, and the brim of a black peaked cap blocked the upper half of her face. She only saw a delicate nose with slender nasal bones, a straight nose bridge, and two thin lips below.
She squeezed between her eyebrows, closed the laptop, "No."
Huang Mao was scared, "But when the note comes later, what should we say?"
The people in the car ignored him, looked up into the alley, and suddenly murmured: "Why is she here?"
Huang Mao didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What did you say?"
The car window was raised, "Nothing, let's go."
Huang Mao got the order, and ran back to the alley to greet the group of gangsters, "Let's retreat." Before leaving, he grabbed Liu Shan's collar viciously, "Boy, next time I catch you, let's see if there are any other gods come to save you."
After Huang Mao left, Yi Ziyue helped An Huaixu to stand up.
An Huaixu was seriously injured, with a large swelling on his head, and red marks all over his arms and back.She smiled at Yi Ziyue, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."
Yi Ziyue didn't ask her what happened.She and An Huaixu only have a schoolmate relationship, and even a fight is An Huaixu's private matter, so she can't let her talk about it.He just asked softly, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
An Huaixu shook his head, "I'm sorry to trouble you, you can go back at night."
Yi Ziyue nodded, put the frying pan back into the shopping bag, hung it on the bicycle he was riding, and then pushed the bicycle away.
Liu Shan limped up with Yang Ergou, and asked An Huaixu, "To the old place?"
"Ah."
At this time, Yi Ziyue who was not far ahead suddenly stopped, and turned his head slightly to look at them.
An Huaixu was startled.
She clearly saw Yi Ziyue looking straight at Liu Shan with complicated emotions intertwined in his eyes.
The text message alert sounded from the mobile phone in his pocket, which brought back An Huaixu's thoughts, and An Huaixu swiped open the screen of the mobile phone.
A text message from Xu Zhongxuan: I'm moving today, come to my house for dinner tonight.
***
After meeting Yi Ziyue, Lu Linzhong hurried to the company to attend the third quarter audit meeting of the financial department. The quarterly audit report sounded drowsy, but she still kept her spirits up.
"Miscalculated a number."
Hearing the sound, Lu Linzhong looked slightly sideways.Lin Yucen has not been an intern at Zhitian for a month, and this is the first time she has brought Lin Yucen to an audit meeting.
Lin Yucen picked up the pen and quickly wrote down a series of numbers in the notebook, "The total should be 27—"
"2749.43 million." Lu Linzhong rubbed the space between his brows and blurted out the result.
Seeing Lin Yucen's surprised eyes, Lu Linzhong just raised his eyebrows lightly. Although she was tired, it would not affect her computing ability, making a new intern look down upon her.
After the meeting was over, Xu Zhongxuan's secretary Ye Heng walked through the front door quickly, walked quickly behind Lu Linzhong, and said in a low voice, "Vice President Lu, congratulations."
The corners of Lu Linzhong's mouth trembled, and Ye Hengqiang's gossiping heart could be heard from Ye Hengqiang's suppressed excited voice without turning his head.
Lu Linzhong stopped, turned around and smiled at Lin Yucen: "Secretary Lin, I have something to do with Secretary Ye, you should go back to the office first."
Lin Yucen nodded and stepped into the elevator.
Colleagues outside the meeting room also went back to work, and Lu Linzhong glanced at Ye Heng calmly. Ye Heng's glowing eyes made her already bad mood worse.
Ever since Ye Heng met her in the parking lot downstairs of Xu Zhongxuan's house last time, the rumors that had been circulating between her and Xu Zhongxuan were "stone hammered" in an instant.Rumors spread to the board of directors that Representative Zhou actually wanted to use her relationship with Xu Zhongxuan to make a "beauty trick". repair.
She was caught in the middle, besides going to work and overtime every day, she was extremely busy, she also had to work as a part-time actress, and endured gossip from many people in the company.
"What happened again?"
"President Xu asked me to watch the day for her." Ye Heng squinted at Lu Linzhong's expression.
"Ok?"
"I checked the old calendar, September [-] is suitable for marriage."
After hearing this, Lu Linzhong rolled his eyes.
"You and Mr. Xu are not here this morning, are you~" Ye Heng showed a row of white teeth, and his nympho expression was exactly the same as that of a fan circle girl.
The corners of Lu Linzhong's lips were curved into an elegant arc, and he asked with a half smile: "Secretary Ye, would you like to invite me to marry Mr. Xu?"
Ye Heng choked, and shut up obediently.
"If there is nothing else, I'll go back to the office first."
Lu Linzhong was sitting in the office processing documents, and received a message from Xu Zhongxuan on her mobile phone, inviting her to have dinner at her new residence in Yufu Jiangdu.
She stared at the text message for a long time.
Just in time, someone knocked on the office door.
Lu Linzhong put down his phone, "Please come in."
Lin Yucen pushed the door and entered, holding a stack of materials in his arms, and said modestly: "Vice President Lu, I have some questions to ask you."
Lu Linzhong appreciates such a smart and studious student as Lin Yucen.She raised her chin, closed the folder spread out on the desktop, and made a place for Lin Yucen to put the documents.
"Actually, before the meeting, I drew up an audit report, and now I have revised it again. I hope you can help me take a look."
Lin Yucen is not only smart and studious, but also knows exactly what he wants to do. Such a person is perfectly suitable to be an heir.
Lu Linzhong took the materials and glanced at them, "Well done, there are a few details that could be more precise. I'm a little tired today, and I'll give you the revised ones tomorrow."
"it is good."
"Yu Cen, have you lived in Jincheng before?"
Lin Yucen shook his head.
"What about relatives and friends?"
Lin Yucen looked at Lu Linzhong suspiciously.
Lu Linzhong touched the ground on his toes, gracefully stood up from the computer desk, walked to the bonsai stand, and picked up the watering can to water the small-leaved sandalwood on it.
"Just take it as my concern as a teacher." Lu Linzhong said without any trace, "Jincheng is not like other tourist cities, which can be completed in three to five days. Only those who are familiar with this place know the fun of Jincheng. Where is it, do you need me to find a few young people from the company to accompany you out for a walk on the weekend?"
She picked up the scissors, trimmed off a few dead leaves on the branches, and said quietly: "After all, tomorrow is the weekend."
"No thanks."
Lu Linzhong pursed her lips. She remembered that the Lin family had been born and raised in Shanghai for several generations, and Lin Yusi's biological parents lived in Jincheng. Since they had never lived in Jincheng, the two families were separated by thousands of miles from the south to the north, and the children changed unexpectedly. The probability is almost zero.
Sensing Lin Yucen's puzzled gaze, Lu Linzhong changed the subject casually, and said briskly, "Zhongxuan moves today, do you want to have a meal together as a celebration?"
"it is good."
"..." Lu Linzhong never thought that Lin Yucen would agree, she twitched the corners of her mouth, not advancing or retreating.After a few seconds of silence, she felt a stare staring directly at her and her back felt cold. She turned her head and glanced at the half-hidden door.
Standing outside the door was a cold and elegant figure.
Lu Linzhong was stunned, and quickly walked over to open the door, the low pressure rushing in made the surrounding temperature drop in a straight line.
She turned sideways and smiled awkwardly: "Let me introduce each other, Mr. Xu, this is Lin Yucen, the company's new intern. Yucen, this is—"
"We know each other." Xu Zhongxuan interrupted her.
Lu Linzhong glanced at Lin Yucen and then at Xu Zhongxuan.There seems to be an atmosphere between the two of them where the tip of the needle is facing each other, and no one can understand the other.
"Well, it's good to know each other." Lu Linzhong raised his eyebrows, then narrowed his eyes, and continued, "Yu Cen also wants to celebrate your housewarming tonight."
Lin Yucen interjected, "If Mr. Xu is inconvenient, I won't bother you."
"Let's go together." Xu Zhongxuan said displeased.
Xu Zhongxuan's new residence was only a ten-minute drive away from the company. Along the way, the three of them casually chatted about some insignificant things in the company, and the atmosphere was not too embarrassing.
Lin Yucen followed the two into the house. The layout of the house is very simple, with white as the base tone and light-colored furniture. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room extend out to a large terrace. You can see the nearby Jinhe River and the distant Xizi Mountain.
The person who came out of the kitchen smiled gently and helped them get the slippers, "Hello, I'm Meng Qiu."
Lin Yucen realized that this was the new legal consultant hired by Zhitian.Three months ago, they had met in Genting Garden, when she handed envelopes to the new legal consultant and Xu Zhongxuan.
"Hello, Lawyer Meng, we have met."
Meng Qiu nodded and asked, "Go sit on the sofa for a while? Are you used to drinking black tea?"
Lin Yucen nodded.
The door opened with a "click", and Xu Zhongxuan and Lu Linzhong walked into the same room one after the other.
Lin Yucen wondered in his heart: Is it true that the gossip spread by President Xu and Vice President Lu in the company is true?But why did Lawyer Meng show up at Mr. Xu's house again?
Sensing Lin Yucen's gaze, Meng Qiu explained: "Mr. Xu and I used to be classmates. Mr. Xu likes to eat the food I cook. I'm here today to congratulate her on her housewarming."
"Ah."
The sky gradually darkened, and Lin Yucen walked across Meng Qiu to the terrace. The lights of the road and the building were turned on on time at seven o'clock, reflecting her handsome and cool silhouette, and her facial features were illuminated warmly and peacefully under the bright lights, like A bird perched on a branch by chance looks peaceful and peaceful.
"Dong dong dong—" There was a knock on the door outside the house, with such force that the crystal lamps hanging upside down in the room shook.
Meng Qiu went to open the door. An Huaixu stood outside the door, glanced into the room, raised his hand and dialed the phone: "Master, please bring it up, the 27th floor."
Xu Zhongxuan pushed the door out impartially, and said to An Huaixu, "What are you preparing for?"
"I have prepared new entertainment for you."
Lu Linzhong came out of the room right after him, met An Huaixu's eyes, and exchanged glances, implying that they should still behave harmoniously in front of outsiders.
There was a lot of movement in the living room, Lin Yucen turned around.
An Huaixu stood in the living room, with short shoulder-length hair, a white jacket and black cropped trousers, long legs and thin waist, excellent proportions, elegant silhouette, harmoniously forming a clean and youthful atmosphere.
Lin Yucen frowned and clenched the black teacup in his hand.
We meet again, An Huai Xu.
The last time they met was yesterday.
Lin Yucen pushed open the floor-to-ceiling windows, walked to the side of the sofa and sat down. An Huaixu directed the two masters to move the mahjong machine, a new entertainment project, into the study.
Lu Linzhong was sitting on the sofa watching TV, from time to time he greeted Lin Yucen to eat fruit, and occasionally glanced at An Huaixu pretending to be casual.
An Huaixu was busy with the mahjong machine, and went straight into the kitchen to help Meng Qiu.
"Huaixu, help me take out this bowl of soup." Meng Qiu called An Huaixu, "What are you thinking?"
"Huh? I didn't think about anything..."
"You can go out for dinner." Meng Qiu took off his apron, walked to the table and said warmly to the three people in the living room, "Dinner was delayed, but it's finally done."
An Huaixu put away her sullen expression, and randomly chose a side dining chair to sit down. Only then did she remember that she hadn't greeted the young man across from her.
An Huaixu asked, "Who is this?"
Lin Yucen turned his face to the side and bowed his lips politely at her.
Lu Linzhong glanced at An Huaixu, and said flatly, "Have you forgotten so soon?"
"It looks familiar." An Huaixu pretended not to hear Lu Linzhong's words, "Where did we meet?"
"Genting Gardens."
The cold face in front of him overlapped with a blurred shadow in An Huaixu's memory, and An Huaixu smiled awkwardly.
Lu Linzhong's eyes sank, and he added another sentence: "Remember?"
"..."
Lin Yucen nodded and introduced himself, "My name is Lin Yucen."
"Lin, Yu Cen?" An Huaixu was so startled that the white porcelain spoon in his hand hit the small soup bowl hard, making a "ding" sound.
Lin Yucen, Lin Yusi's biological sister.If she had married Lin Yusi at that time, the person sitting across from her today would be her sister-in-law.An Huaixu felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and it took him a long time to pull out a wrinkled smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
"En." Lin Yucen responded to An Huaixu lightly.
An Huaixu managed to stay through dinner, and Xu Zhongxuan dragged her to play a few rounds of cards. By the time she and Lu Linzhong drove Lin Yucen back to his residence, it was already past ten o'clock.
There was one person missing in the car, and the space suddenly felt much larger. The moonlight illuminated one side of the tree brightly, and the shadow under the tree became darker, and the road surface was covered with black holes like black holes one after another.
The two finally didn't have to force a smile in front of others and cooperated with each other.Lu Linzhong glanced at An Huaixu from the rearview mirror, his lips moved, and finally he didn't speak, but just tapped the accelerator to start the car.
The car drove back to Lanting Famous Villa and stopped in front of the building.
Lu Linzhong turned his head to look at An Huaixu: "Are you going out to play tonight?"
"Ah."
Lu Linzhong raised his hand and dropped the inner lock, "Can't you not go?"
An Huaixu was silent.
Lu Linzhong stroked the lines on the steering wheel with her fingertips, she thought for a while, and said softly, "Or take me there."
"You don't like my friends, you don't like me interacting with them in the first place." An Huaixu put one hand in his trouser pocket, and held the phone in the other to answer the message.
The two were silent for a long time, Lu Linzhong opened the car door: "Go into the room, I have something to tell you."
An Huaixu shuffled into the room, sat on the sofa, and waited for Lu Linzhong to speak.
Lu Linzhong walked into the bathroom on the first floor at the same time, squeezed two pumps of hand sanitizer into the palm of his hand, rubbed and flushed, and occasionally raised his head to look at the movement of the living room through the crack of the door.
She opened the door and sat beside An Huaixu, turned sideways and held the zipper of An Huaixu's white jacket.
"What are you doing?" An Huaixu pressed the zipper and stepped back.
Lu Linzhong's face was very cold, and his usually lively eyes were now like a pool of stagnant water, becoming deep and deserted.
"You let me go."
The flimsy clothing was wrinkled under the hands of the two, An Huaixu lowered his voice: "What exactly do you want to do?"
Lu Linzhong held An Huaixu's right wrist: "Take off your coat."
"If you want to take it off, I'll make you take it off?" An Huaixu grabbed the zipper of his jacket tightly.
The two looked at each other, refusing to give in to each other.
Lu Linzhong frowned, and even his eyes were filled with anger, as if what An Huaixu said just now was like a spark, and it landed on the introduction without any mistakes.
"Boom" the zipper of the white jacket came loose from the pull tab during the two people's struggle.
An Huaixu grabbed the collar, she felt that Lu Linzhong at this moment was strange, cold, angry, and irrational.Even if they had quarreled in the past, she could see that Lu Linzhong restrained his emotions.
An Huaixu slowly loosened his collar, and Lu Linzhong quickly took off the white jacket.
Lu Linzhong half-kneeled on the sofa, holding the hem of the white shirt inside.Her hand paused, and quickly flipped the palm of her hand, and the buttons were undone one by one, revealing a large area of pink skin and light-colored underwear in front of her.
Lu Linzhong didn't look much, and raised his hand to take off An Huaixu's shirt.
It matched what Yi Ziyue said in the car today.There is a thick red mark on the arm, several red marks criss-crossing on the back, and three bruises on the shoulder. The red marks should be left from a fight with someone yesterday, and the bruise marks may have been there for some time.
Why did An Huaixu never tell her these things?
Don't those crazy men and women who are addicted to emotions want to stick together and become one?Is it because she isn't interesting enough or attractive enough, so An Huaixu needs to fill her life with other things?
An Huaixu pushed Lu Linzhong away with too much force, and Lu Linzhong fell down on the sofa, his eyes filled with sadness, like fragile thin ice.
An Huaixu clenched her fists. She knew that she had used too much force just now, but apologizing was always so rare.She turned her face away unnaturally, and buttoned up her shirt: "Have you seen enough? I'm going to sleep."
Lu Linzhong stared sadly at An Huaixu's back. The figure seemed to be stuck in a swamp, unable to get out because he couldn't find a point of strength.
This swamp is called disappointment.
The night is a long night. Lu Linzhong leaned on the sofa, feeling everything around her was pressing heavily on her. The sound of the second hand moving in the clock was amplified countless times by the silence. Closing her eyes and falling asleep was just a meaningless movement. Her thoughts Completely involved in their feelings.
It turns out that as time goes on, the joy of seeing each other late, the sadness of not being in love, and the promises of each other will be wiped out into dross, leaving only a resentful couple.
Just long enough.
She has dated successive girlfriends, each of which lasted only a short time.Although every time a relationship ends, the other party is mostly reluctant to part with her, but she thinks very clearly in her heart that she is always looking for a sense of novelty, and as long as that feeling starts to disappear, it indicates that this relationship is about to end. It's over, she should give love a death sentence gracefully and chicly.
An Huaixu and she are both people who like novelty and excitement, and they are attracted to each other.But as time went by, she wanted to be with An Huai Xu forever, and the future would last forever.
But the relationship between her and An Huaixu is too much like dry wood meeting a raging fire. The fire comes fiercely, but it also tends to go away quickly.
Lu Linzhong thinks back on the past 30 years. She has achieved a little success in her career, and she is proud of her emotions. Every step is glamorous and beautiful. She is praised by others. Maybe she has been proud for too long, and God can’t get used to it. up.
The sunshine in the early autumn morning quietly jumped in from the French windows, clearly announcing to the people in the house that it was a good sunny day. Lu Linzhong woke up on the sofa, and the hour hand of the living room clock had already set on the number eleven.
She sat on the armrest of the sofa for a while. They promised Xu Zhongxuan and Meng Qiutong to go to Xizishan Park to relax last night, but the door of the side bedroom on the second floor was still closed.
Lu Linzhong stepped up the stairs, walked to the second floor, and met An Huaixu face to face.
The two looked at each other, then one turned around and the other turned their faces.
"It's time to go out."
"Yeah. I know."
Xizihu Mountain is a unique scenery in the western suburbs of Jincheng. When you look up in the clear autumn and cloudless weather, the forest on the mountain is full of red and yellow, which is very bright. The West Lake at the foot of the mountain is a piece of green jade, which is reflected by the sun from time to time. The sparkling brilliance, the sky, the water, the mountains and the mountains complement each other, and there is always a feeling of someone walking in the painting when walking in it.
Lu Linzhong and Xu Zhongxuan walked together, their eyes fell on An Huaixu's back from time to time, with a sullen expression, as if no matter how beautiful the scenery was, they couldn't catch her eyes.
"Did you quarrel?"
Lu Linzhong hooked her lips reluctantly, neither admitting nor denying, the little desire in her heart to confide in others was like the autumn wind blowing over the dead leaves by the roadside, before she could reach out her hand to feel it, the autumn wind disappeared.
Xu Zhongxuan and Lu Linzhong walked along the cobblestone path for a few minutes, and suddenly said, "Huai Xu is a very good girl."
"Mr. Xu, I never thought there was anything wrong with Xiao Xu." Lu Linzhong's eyes were heavy, she was speaking the truth, even though they had so many unhappiness, she never thought it was An Huaixu's personal fault.
An Huaixu and Meng Qiu stood in front of the stall, picking and choosing, and bought a water gun.Meng Qiu gestured to them, walked to the pier, took An Huaixu into a small boat, and slowly left the shore.
Lu Lin Zhong Xiuyi frowned, staring at the water surface worriedly.
"Meng Qiu can swim, so you don't have to worry too much about Huai Xu."
The two walked to the water's edge, and the boat An Huaixu and Meng Qiu were sitting on had already moored near the center of the lake, and it looked like a leaf from a distance.
"Do you two take a boat?" A staff member came over and asked.
Lu Linzhong hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Xu Zhongxuan.
Xu Zhongxuan: "I just have something to tell you."
At three or four in the afternoon after autumn, when the sun was slanting to the west, Lu Linzhong stood on the pier, and the lake wind blew up her clothes and long brown curly hair, and her thick eyebrows and eyelashes were also coated with a layer of golden light by the sun.
Xu Zhongxuan stood in the boat and stretched out his hand to Lu Linzhong: "Come here, the boat is very stable."
When the West Lake is viewed from a distance, it looks like a mirror, but when you look closer, there are layers of soft waves on the water surface, shaking the pleasure boats from side to side.
Lu Linzhong took a deep breath. She was afraid of getting close to water since she was a child, and she had the experience of falling into the water when she was ten years old.
She took two steps forward and took Xu Zhongxuan's hand: "Thank you."
With her feet off the ground and stepping on the board of the boat, Lu Linzhong lost support all of a sudden, her face turned pale, and she couldn't help but hold Xu Zhongxuan's hand tightly.
There are some things she doesn't want to experience again.
She really didn't want to experience that feeling of struggling up and down in cold water and being suffocated in despair.
"Don't be afraid." Xu Zhongxuan comforted her.
"Ah."
A gust of lake wind blew past, and the boat swayed from side to side. Lu Linzhong became nervous and his feet went limp. Fortunately, Xu Zhongxuan supported his waist.
"Is it seasick?"
"Fortunately."
Lu Linzhong sat down slowly, grasped the board of the boat vigorously, and the feeling that his heart was about to jump out of his chest finally eased a little. The childhood nightmare may be forgotten, but this fear has been rooted in his blood, and occasionally he will run away at a certain time. Come out and be reminded of its existence.
No matter how long it has passed, it will never disappear. Xu Zhongxuan made sure that the boat would not swing randomly, so he let people loosen the rope on the shore.
The end of October is the most beautiful time of the year for Xizi Lake and Xizi Mountain. Only in the middle of the lake can you enjoy the scenery here and feast your eyes.
The lake breeze is gentle, and the oars make shallow water waves. The water gently kisses the hull of the boat, like a mother caressing her child.
The boat was floating on the lake, Lu Linzhong deliberately looked into the distance, not to let himself be so scared, "What do you think, don't you worry that Lin Yucen will hinder you when you put Lin Yucen in Zhitian?" Xu Zhongxuan let go of the wooden pulp in his hand , Let the boat swing leisurely towards the center of the lake.
Lu Linzhong sat restlessly in the boat, unwilling to answer Xu Zhongxuan's words.
"Ok?"
Lu Linzhong reluctantly shifted his gaze from a distance to the opposite side, "The first time I met Lin Yucen, I felt that she had really inherited Lin Zhao's genes. A businessman is sharp, deep and decisive, and she seems to be born with it."
"Hmm..." In fact, Lu Linzhong wanted to say that she felt that Xu Zhongxuan was also a born businessman.But the calm water in front of her was like a huge dark green whirlpool, which seemed to engulf the two small boats at any moment, and her words disappeared without a trace.
"The matter of the Lin Group will only become more and more difficult." Xu Zhongxuan knew why Lu Linzhong worked overtime recently. She glanced at An Huaixu and said softly, "If it is difficult, you can put this matter aside for now. put."
"Uh, good." Lu Linzhong looked at the surface of the water, it was getting farther and farther away from the shore, and the lake wind blowing from time to time would make the boat shake from side to side, and her palms were soaked in a thin layer of sweat.
"Are you uncomfortable?" Xu Zhongxuan asked with concern.
Suddenly not far from behind
