Over indulge

While he was in a state of confusion, a phone call came in suddenly, and the words "Xie Yanhua" were displayed on the flickering screen.

Lin Jiayue paused, got up and reached out to answer, and immediately adjusted her emotions.

"Yan Hua."

"As for you, I skipped class and went to your school to find you. Your classmate said he didn't see you after class. I went to the apartment too, but you weren't there either."

The girl who spoke was Xie Yanhua. Lin Jiayue had known her since she was a child, probably since she was in kindergarten, because it was the best noble school in Haigang City, where most of the children of rich people studied.

Her family is in the business of medicinal materials, and is also a legendary old nobleman. Her ancestors were dedicated to the Imperial Family Hospital. They all went to the same school, but the university was different. Xie Yanhua went to the business school arranged by her family. To train her to be the successor to take over the family business.

In fact, Lin Jiayue's father had similar thoughts before, but because he respected her ideas, he let her pursue her ideals.

"I'm going home today."

"Going home?" Xie Yanhua on the other end of the phone was a little surprised, "Isn't today Wednesday?" After a pause, she suddenly understood, and asked softly, "Is it something about your family?"

"Well, something..." Lin Jiayue hesitated to speak.

"Jiayue, don't hide anything from me, or I'll go to your house to pick you up now."

"No, don't." Lin Jiayue hastily interrupted, "I'll see you tomorrow, and I'll tell you the details when the time comes."

"...Okay, okay, you have a good rest at night, I will go to your school to find you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiayue looked up out of the window and realized that it was already dark.

It turned out that she had been home for several hours without knowing it, and what her father said to her seemed to be lingering in her ears just now, lingering.

Lin Jiayue and her mother ate dinner. She heard from her mother that her father hurried out to continue trying to figure out a solution before dinner was too late. Lin, she also saw her mother respond in the afternoon. The always gentle and talkative mother showed her sharp and prickly appearance for the first time.

It was another sleepless night, Lin Jiayue went back to her room after dinner, took a shower and went to bed.

I feel tired all over my body, and I haven't done anything to make my body tired, but I just feel very tired. This state has lasted for a long time.Lin Jiayue, who was lying on the bed, buried her face in the pillow, forcing herself not to think about anything right now, just let her mind go and sleep well, there will be a solution.

The next morning, Uncle Yang wasn't there. It seemed that he didn't come back after going out with his father last night. He didn't disturb his mother's rest. Lin Jiayue went to the room to say hello and then went out to school by herself.

Entering the sophomore year, the curriculum is double that of the freshman year. Today is a full day, so Lin Jiayue and Xie Yanhua can only meet at noon.

When Lin Jiayue arrived, she had already found a seat. It was a western restaurant outside the north gate of Harbor University. As soon as she arrived at the gate, the girl inside waved to her from afar.

Lin Jiayue finally recognized her, and she changed her hairstyle again.

After confirming that the beautiful woman with blonde curly hair sitting over there was Xie Yanhua, Lin Jiayue strode over.

"How is it, did the hair done yesterday look good?" Xie Yanhua fiddled with her hair a little, looking into Lin Jiayue's eyes full of expectation.

Xie Yanhua's skin is very fair, even with golden hair, it still fits well. If you don't look carefully, you may think she is a foreign girl, but she has a melon-shaped face, and she has beautiful features and looks good at dressing up. She is more like a Korean beauty. Lin Jiayue always thinks so of.

"It's beautiful." Lin Jiayue praised without hesitation, smiling.

Xie Yanhua was a little intoxicated when he heard that, cupped his cheek with one hand, squinted his eyes and said, "I'm satisfied after hearing you say it looks good."

Lin Jiayue lowered her head and smiled, maybe the short time she met her good friend was the most relaxed moment for her.

Xie Yanhua has been observing Lin Jiayue, and she can tell that this guy is forcing a smile on his face. Also, if the family has encountered such a change, if it were him, he might not be as strong as her.

"Sorry Jiayue."

"Huh?" Lin Jiayue was stunned.

Xie Yanhua sat opposite Lin Jiayue, showing regret and self-blame, "In this situation, I can't do anything."

"Don't talk like that, Hua, I am already content with having a good friend like you." Lin Jiayue encouraged her.

Xie Yanhua burst out laughing, why did she let her comfort him in turn, and then said embarrassingly: "You know the situation of my family, the new nobles and the old nobles are just down-and-out nobles who died 800 years ago. I fell out of the top [-] list, and the cash flow that the entire company can produce may not be nine figures, and now the family is not in my hands, so I really want to do something for you..."

Of course Lin Jiayue knew.

The medicine business of Xie Yanhua’s family has been handed down to the eighth generation today, and it has long since lost its original glory. However, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. At least in the eyes of Haigang City, there is no problem with a decent life, and it has the title of an old nobleman. , In and out of high society can still get a lot of thin noodles.

"I happened to ask you for help with something today." Lin Jiayue was a little embarrassed to speak.

"What? As long as I can do it for you, anything is fine."

Lin Jiayue smiled, "It's not that exaggerated."

Xie Yanhua pinched the straw and pretended to take a sip of orange juice, her fair cheeks were slightly flushed.

"Do you know a man named Xu Ruining?"

Lin Jiayue's question made Xie Yanhua stop drinking orange juice, as if hearing this name from the other party was a novelty.

"Jiayue, why did you suddenly ask this person..." Xie Yanhua murmured in surprise.

Do you really know?

Lin Jiayue clenched her hands under the table, her eyes were firm, and she asked again: "What kind of person is she...?"

Xie Yanhua took another sip of orange juice pretending to be relaxed, and then said calmly, "She, I heard that she is a heinous person."

"Heinous?" Lin Jiayue repeated the word lightly, is it so serious?

Xie Yanhua smacked his lips, lowered his eyes to cut the steak on the plate, and said, "I haven't had any direct contact with that woman, but our family has business dealings with her. 80.00% of our annual orders come from Xu's enterprise, to put it bluntly, is supported by her.

The Xu family has been in the pharmaceutical industry for hundreds of years from ancient times to the present, especially after the Xu family business was taken over by that woman. You must know that before that, although Xu's pharmaceutical factory was well-known throughout the country, it was not yet so famous. The dominance of the business world like today was run by that woman alone. That ambitious woman was not satisfied with the benefits brought by the pharmaceutical factory, but also extended her hands to the entertainment industry, real estate, electronic technology, etc. The industry has built a business empire headed by her, and her assets have climbed from the famous ten years ago to No.1, and have maintained it for more than ten years. No one has given her up from the altar. pull down. "

In this way, this woman is really powerful.

But Lin Jiayue didn't understand, so she hurriedly asked: "Then why, you say she is a heinous person?"

At this time, Xie Yanhua first paid attention to the surrounding area, then moved her face closer, and lowered her voice, "Don't you know that a person like her who came all the way here has more than one method, which is cruel and merciless. Rumor has it that her hands It’s also contaminated with human life.”

Lin Jiayue fell silent in fright, subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth, her pupils dilated, she didn't know what to say for a while.

"In a society ruled by law, such a thing won't happen." Lin Jiayue smiled awkwardly.

"Who can say for sure," Xie Yanhua nuzzled, "but I also heard some rumors. In fact, Xu Ruining is not the only daughter of the Xu family. She has an older brother and a younger sister, but for some reason, these two people are already married It hasn't appeared for more than ten years, and the outside world is rumored that Xu Ruining, in order to monopolize the Xu family's property... designed to kill his siblings."

Xie Yanhua was talking non-stop, but when he realized it, he saw Lin Jiayue's pale face in front of him, and immediately panicked.

"You...you, what's wrong with you."

"I'm fine." Lin Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief, her mood was a little complicated. Was it that kind of person who said he wanted to get her?

Xie Yanhua was still a little worried, and asked instead: "However, why did you suddenly ask me about her? That's right! Didn't you just say that you need my help?"

Even if I am very scared and uneasy, and even want to shrink back.

But up to now, there is no way out for her to go. If she doesn't choose to do this, the Lin family will really be doomed this time. Thinking of this, Lin Jiayue clenched her fists tightly.

Looking up again, Lin Jiayue turned her firm eyes towards the girl in front of her, "Yan Hua, I need you to do me a favor."

"You, tell me." Xie Yanhua swallowed, suddenly feeling a little nervous.

"I want that person's contact information." Lin Jiayue said.

"Ah?" Xie Yanhua was quite surprised after hearing this, "Why...why?"

"Maybe this time, she can help the Lin family back to life." Lin Jiayue murmured alone.

Xie Yanhua didn't quite understand the meaning of her words, but she still decided to help her, after all, this was the only thing she could do for her.

After talking about this matter, Xie Yanhua went outside the restaurant to make a phone call. Lin Jiayue sat and waited alone in the restaurant, feeling uneasy. She still couldn't believe that she was going to make this decision. After thinking so much, as long as she can save the Lin family, as long as she can bring back a smile on her parents' faces, as long as she can prevent her little sister from losing her home, she is willing to try any method.

Not long after, Xie Yanhua returned to the dining table and handed the phone to Lin Jiayue, with a string of numbers written on it.

At this time, Xie Yanhua said again: "I contacted my dad's secretary to find out the number she wanted to call, but this doesn't seem to be Xu Ruining's personal phone number, it seems that it can only be connected to Xu Ruining's secretary."

Without further ado, Lin Jiayue wrote it down on her mobile phone, while thanking: "Thank you, Yan Hua, this is enough."

"But I still don't understand. Would such a person really help the Lin family?" Xie Yanhua asked with question marks all over his head.

"I'll talk to you later when it's done." Lin Jiayue smiled. Behind her smile was her mentality that she didn't want to tell Yan Hua the truth for the time being, because she knew that Yan Hua would definitely stop her from doing so, just like her mother. , so we can only tell after the fact.

A few hours had passed since lunch with Xie Yanhua, and Lin Jiayue, who was in class in the afternoon, was distracted again, always unconsciously looking at the landline number that she copied down with a sticky note, did she really want to call?

It is not impossible for her to guess what kind of result it means.

Although she has no one she likes yet, nor has she ever been in a relationship, but this is also related to the happiness of a girl's life.

At least, in the first 20 years of her life, she never thought about being involved with a woman, who was still so much older than her. Today, she overheard Yan Hua say, Xu Ruining is 40, right?Only 2 years younger than her mother.

It's really hard.

so hard.

Just like that, when school was over, Lin Jiayue forgot to buy dinner, and returned to the rented apartment with her bag and guitar on her back.

After putting down the things, I picked up the phone and went to sit on the wicker chair on the balcony. I curled up my legs, the wicker chair swayed slightly, and the evening wind blew my hair. It was a bit comfortable, but I don’t think about these time.

It's almost seven o'clock in the evening.

Dad said that today is the last day, the deadline, if there is no solution tonight, the Lin family will really be over.

I have not received any news from my family so far, and it seems that my father has not found a way.

Can't hesitate any longer.

Lin Jiayue opened the string of numbers written down in the phone, dialed with a slightly trembling hand, and then raised it to her ear.

"Beep-beep-" There was a busy tone, followed by a woman's voice.

"Hi, I'm Huang Ying, who can I find?"

"I..." Lin Jiayue was stuck for a while, unable to speak.

"Hello?" The other party asked again.

Lin Jiayue was worried that the phone would be hung up if this continued, so she quickly said the person's name.

"I'm looking for Xu Ruining, is Xu Ruining there?" God knows that asking this sentence has already used up all her strength and courage.

"You're looking for Mr. Xu? She's busy now. May I ask what you can do with her?" Huang Ying said halfway, she seemed to have seen someone, she put down the phone and started talking, Lin Jiayue couldn't hear clearly, but After a while, the voice came from the phone again. This time, it seemed to be a different person.

"You're looking for me." It was a very magnetic voice, and it was very charming, as if it wanted to penetrate Lin Jiayue's eardrums, which made her heart tense all of a sudden.

"I am Lin, Lin Jiayue." Lin Jiayue couldn't help but stumbled, as if she felt the other party's overwhelming aura through the phone.

"I know." Three simple words.

Lin Jiayue was a little surprised, but she didn't want to show her embarrassment of being seen through.

At home yesterday afternoon, her father said to her again: "She wants... wants you... wants you to be her person."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Jiayue's heart beat loudly, and she almost spoke in a trembling voice.

"I agreed...to be your man."
