Up and down.

In the Lin family, Lu Ting is a real young master. From the housekeeper to the kitchen aunt, everyone treats him respectfully. When the older ones look at him, there is always kindness in their eyes.

The butler brought down a bunch of snacks from upstairs, and said that the master had prepared them early, and they would eat them when Master Lu came next time.

"The audio-visual room upstairs has also been slightly renovated, and a new set of equipment has been sent." The butler had a serious face and soft eyes.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin." Lu Ting turned his head and smiled at Lin Zhaochen.

Lin Zhaochen was busy with business in his early years, and he had Lin Zhiyan in his 30s, and then Lin Zhifeng. After his wife passed away, the only soft-tempered existence in the family disappeared, and the family became colder and colder unconsciously. hard.

Lu Ting's arrival is like a ray of sunshine shining into the cold winter, which warms the hearts of the father and son. In addition, Lu Ting is young and looks prettier than flowers when he smiles. They can't help but think about it. Pamper.

"You're welcome, as long as you like it." Lin Zhaochen cleared his throat, and slightly tightened his hand holding the crutch, "This time the matter was resolved smoothly, did you get hurt?"

"No." Lu Ting said, "Mr. Lin paid attention to the follow-up?"

"The subsequent development of the matter is so serious. The first thing you do, Brother Lin, after get off work every day is to swipe your phone. We also watched the live broadcast at the end." Lin Zhaochen sighed, "People's hearts are unpredictable."

He had seen that woman at a banquet in a certain family, and he really couldn't see how evil she was in her heart.

"There are a lot of discussions about you and Uncle on the Internet. I asked Zhifeng to suppress them all, so you don't have to worry about it." Lin Zhaochen raised his neck, chest out, and glanced at Lu Ting's side with vague eyes.

It was empty, and my uncle didn't show up.But he had a hunch that my uncle must be in this room.

Seeing what he was thinking, Lu Ting secretly laughed that Lin Gui and Lin Zhaochen were indeed uncles and nephews, and they wanted to praise them, but they wanted to save face.

With a light cough, Lu Ting said, "I would like to say thank you on behalf of my little uncle."

I didn't get my uncle's thanks, but my aunt's is not bad.Lin Zhaochen leaned forward and asked with a low voice, "Lu Ting, you said earlier that my uncle told us to decorate the house quickly, does that mean..."

"Yes." The old man was trembling with excitement, Lu Ting stretched out his hand to hold it down, "He's coming back."

The word "Hui" not only means that Lin Gui will soon have a living body, but also means that he will once again return to the family that gave birth to him.

Lin Zhaochen knew that he would not return to this house, but he was still happy in his heart.

Never dared to think that that noble man leaning on the window rail, covered in moonlight, and holding a book in one hand, could stand in front of him again with a lively posture.

"It's great, it's really great." Lin Zhaochen shouted, the end of his voice trembling violently.Lu Ting glanced at the sunken armrest of the sofa, and Lin Gui's figure was revealed. His long legs leaned against the soft leather, and his slender arms supported the backrest behind the young man.

Lu Ting took out a piece of paper and handed it over, and Lin Zhaochen realized that he was actually crying.

"I made you laugh."

"I didn't see anything." Lu Ting lowered his eyelids. The new phone hasn't arrived yet, and the frequency of the old phone crashing is getting higher and higher. He can only play with his fingers.

The ten fingers are slender and white, the joints are neither wide nor narrow, and the round fingertips are slightly pink.Lin Gui suddenly stretched out his hand to hold it, and said in a tense voice, "Don't move."

Lu Ting struggled a few times, but didn't break away, and simply gave up.

The young ones have a bit of flesh and are not as soft as women's, but they are just right in your hand.

When these fingers were twisted together non-stop, Lin Gui felt irritable for no reason. Now that they are quiet in his own hands, and his thumb is pressed on the heel of the opponent's palm, Lin Gui is not satisfied again, and wants to try it out. Those ten fingers Is it as flexible as you can see.

Lin Gui felt that something was wrong with him.

Lu Ting lowered his head and clicked his tongue, the man's thumb was rubbing the back of his hand.

How bored it is to come and play with his hands!

The atmosphere in the hall became delicate, as if it had been frozen by the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month.Lin Zhaochen had the illusion that he was superfluous. He stood up with his cane and said to Lu Ting, "I'm going upstairs to handle some business."

It's a lot of age, and I have to work overtime when I get home. It's hard to keep money.Lu Ting nodded obediently, and after watching the old man leave, he turned his head and said to the man only he could see: "Mr. Lin has a deep affection for you."

Lin Gui regained his senses from the chaos, but he was a little bit reluctant to let go.Until Lu Ting struggled again, he finally let go of that hand, rubbing the pads of his thumb and index finger, but couldn't hold it enough.

Before the man could speak for a while, Lu Ting reminded, "Can't you say it?"

Lin Gui pursed his lower lip in displeasure, and said in a nonchalant way: "Zhao Chen was not very favored when he was a child, his parents were married in a business relationship, and neither of them cared much about this son, but they hoped that he could Promising, able to run the Lin family. He was only four years old that year, and his tutor slapped his palm because of academic problems. When his parents found out, instead of blaming the teacher for corporal punishment at will, they moved out of the family law and beat him with a rattan cane, saying that he was too playful. Heavy, how will you take on the big responsibility in the future."

"Four years old?" Lu Ting was dumbfounded. When he was four years old, he was playing in mud under the protection of his parents.

"It was raining heavily that day. When I passed the ancestral hall, I saw him lying on the ground, his face was red from the heat. I took him back to my house and called the family doctor. Since then, he has often Come find me."

"At that time, the Lin family lived in a courtyard with three entrances and three exits. When he was free, he set up a stool and leaned on the window frame to peek at me."

These past events made no splash in Lin Gui's heart. Seeing that Lu Ting listened with gusto, he let go of his original plan to stop here, and his thin lips continued to move.

"When Zhaochen was young, he was quite obedient and cute."

Lin Gui always talked seldom, but he found himself talking more and more in front of Lu Ting recently. After finishing the final summary, the man calmed down.

Lu Ting looked up at the second floor where the study was located. No wonder Lin Zhaochen cared so much about Lin Gui's affairs. It turned out that it was because he had been taken care of by his uncle once when he was a child.

"Lu Ting." Lin Zhifeng finally came back from get off work.

He unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and lost most of his steady appearance.

Sitting on the sofa not far from Lu Ting, he took off his tie and confirmed: "I heard from my father that the decoration needs to be accelerated."

"Hmm." Lu Ting knew nothing about decoration, "Can I move in sooner?"

"Of course." Lin Zhifeng said, "Listen to my brother, all the materials used are the latest environmental protection materials, and they can be lived in after installation."

After finishing speaking, he tapped his fingertips on his knees, and took out two boxes from the paper bag he brought back, "When I came back from the company, my brother asked me to go around the new house, and I happened to meet Miss Huang. After hearing that you are at the Lin family, please ask me to bring this to you."

"It's a mobile phone." Lu Ting took it, unpacked it in twos and twos, and put the card in it.

Lin Zhifeng pointed to another unopened one and asked, "Which one is it?"

"It's for my little uncle." Lu Ting was busy tinkering with the new phone without raising his head, "He should like the black one."

Lin Zhifeng is as good as he is, "This match is just right, he must like it."

"What match?" Lu Ting didn't understand, and looked up.

Lin Zhifeng held up two index fingers and put them together, "One black and one white, for couples."

Lin Gui's face turned red, and when he saw the young man's eyeballs turning in his direction, he felt a rush of excitement in his heart, panicked, turned around and disappeared on the spot.

The Lin family took good care of Lu Ting in terms of food and lodging. When he got up early in the morning, even the toothpaste was squeezed out by the housekeeper.

After Lu Ting washed up, he went downstairs to eat breakfast. Lin Zhaochen was already sitting at the table reading the newspaper. Seeing the young man's ruddy complexion, he must have slept well last night.On the other hand, Lin Zhaochen sighed, he was almost scared to death last night.

Seeing that his complexion was not good, Lu Ting asked, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

Lin Zhaochen: "I went downstairs to pour water last night, and found that many unknown vines were entangled in the whole room. It was so dark that there was no place to step down."

"It's your uncle, don't be afraid." Lu Ting was speechless, the uncle's habit of encroaching on the territory in the middle of the night has not been changed yet.

Lin Zhaochen nodded again and again, "I know, I saw him in the living room later, sitting in front of the coffee table, playing with the mobile phone you bought for him, but it seems that it has not been opened."

Lu Ting: "Played all night?"

"It should be." Lin Zhaochen said bitterly, "I have been insomnia since I was frightened, and I didn't hear other noises. My uncle may have been sitting in the living room."

Lu Ting raised his forehead, no wonder he didn't see anyone when he got up this morning, and the dim pattern of vines on his arm also showed that Lin Gui hadn't taken himself into his body.

"What about him now?"

"In the study room, use the computer to surf the Internet." Lin Zhaochen sighed, "My uncle is really walking with the times, and he is better at using the computer than me."

Lu Ting: "He has a strong learning ability."

"It should be so. I heard from the old housekeeper who passed away before that if the little uncle is not sick, he should be in charge of the Lin family." Speaking of this, Lin Zhaochen's face gradually became logical, as if wealth was not important to him important.

Not long after breakfast, the housekeeper sent a message saying that Jiao Xuliang had come.

It was only then that Lu Ting remembered that Jiao Xuliang had asked Jiao Xuliang to investigate for him, and the results had come out so quickly.

Jiao Xuliang's property was incomparable to that of the Lin family, so when he came in and saw Lin Zhaochen was there, he was unavoidably a little cautious.Lin Zhaochen simply went directly to the company, leaving space for the two to talk.

"May I ask, what is the relationship between Mr. Lu and the Lin family?" Jiao Xuliang was so curious that he was dying of curiosity. Even if Lu Ting was a child of the Lu family, he shouldn't be so close to the Lin family.

"Relative." Just as the butler brought the tea, Lu Ting took it and placed it in front of Jiao Xuliang, "Let's talk about the business first."

"The matter between Kang Chengming and Li Shuang is not a secret, and it didn't take much effort to find out. Kang Chengming met Li Shuang more than a year ago, and Li Shuang was just an assistant in the design department of their company at that time. There was a misunderstanding, and the two exchanged a few words. After that, Kang Chengming fell in love with her at first sight and started a crazy pursuit."

"Li Shuang has been refusing, and her attitude is firm. It must be that Li Shuang is afraid of pestering her husband. Four months ago, Li Shuang finally agreed to pursue her and became Kang Chengming's girlfriend. About a month later, Li Shuang's parents die."

"I remember Mrs. Jiao said that his parents had an accident when they were out together."

"I also found someone to confirm this matter, and it is indeed the case." Jiao Xuliang said, "The strange thing is that the relationship between the Li family and his wife has always been very bad. According to the neighbors, the two of them maintain this kind of incompatibility. They have been in a relationship for more than ten years, but just a few days before the accident, they suddenly changed their sex, and their relationship is so good that they go in and out together all day long, even when they go out to buy groceries, they must hold hands."

"If their relationship is still the same as before, they won't both die at all."

Jiao Xuliang: "You can say that."

Lu Ting: "Go ahead."

"The bodies of the two stayed in the funeral home for seven days. People around said that Li Shuangneng was a good girl who was reborn for his father's beatings and scolding after his death. Because of this, Mrs. Kang liked her even more. Yes, but not urging marriage."

"No." Lu Ting said.

"Of course not." Jiao Xuliang's face was serious, his thick eyebrows were almost drawn together, "Before the wedding, Kang Chengming didn't propose marriage, they skipped the engagement procedure and got married directly, and it was very urgent, it only took two months Not coming to prepare for the wedding."

"The hotel and the wedding planning are all expedited at a high price. Especially the wedding venue, in order to reserve the venue, Kang Chengming personally found the person in charge of the manor time and time again, and finally negotiated the venue."

"In comparison, Li Shuang is much calmer. It is probably because of her indifferent temperament that Kang Chengming feels insecure, so she is so anxious to get married."

Lu Ting said: "The woman's parents just died, some people who pay attention should have some excuses."

"There is only one son in the Kang family, please pet him." Jiao Xuliang said, "I heard that Mrs. Kang refused to agree at first, and felt that it would be unlucky if it would not be a hundred days. But Kang Chengming was determined and quarreled with the family. You have to tie Li Shuang to yourself to be at ease."

Lu Ting drank his saliva, thinking how much Kang Chengming loves Li Shuang, because she can let go of his arrogance and ask for help in person, and he can tear himself apart for her and his family.

"Although there are some places in the middle that are impolite, but in the new era, there are some old rules that don't have to be followed." Jiao Xuliang couldn't help but sigh, "The twists and turns I have experienced are not too few, but fortunately, lovers get married in the end. .”

Lu Ting put down the glass, and the bottom of the glass hit the table with a crisp sound.

Seeing the young man frowning tightly, the smile on Jiao Xuliang's face tightened, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Puzzled, he took out a cigarette and held it between his fingertips. Realizing that it was at someone else's house, he put it away embarrassingly. His eyes just happened to glance at the ring on his finger, and he finally realized it.

Yes, just like what they said at the table that day, it was too sudden.

If two people who love each other get married, they will be very concerned about any trivial matters of marriage, and they will choose carefully. It is impossible for them to rush to reincarnate like Kang Chengming and Li Shuang.

As for Li Shuang's parents, the emotional turning point came without warning.

Jiao Xuliang didn't know what to think of, and a dense layer of cold sweat broke out on his body, "Mr. Lu, Lu Ting..."

Lu Ting got goosebumps from his soul-like voice, rubbed his forehead and said, "Sudden changes in behavior or temperament may not necessarily be caused by ghosts."

Jiao Xuliang bent his straight back, pulled the collar of his clothes and fanned, "I was scared to death."

Lu Ting carefully recalled the Kang Chengming he met that day. He had a good temperament, and he could feel the warmth of the other person before he got close.

"Li Shuang lied to me that day." The young man recounted his brief meeting with Li Shuang.

"It's really just asking for directions?" Jiao Xuliang didn't expect that woman to dare to lie in front of his face, "Then, is it also a lie for her to say that you look like her brother?"

Remembering that he was connected to find the death certificate, he took out his mobile phone, "Wait, I'll ask a friend, soon."

The phone call with Jiao Xuliang lasted for more than ten minutes. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Lu Ting saw him frowning in the yard for a while, and asking questions with his lips for a while. Apparently, things in the Li family were not that simple.

Footsteps came in from outside, Lu Ting looked up.

"Li Shuang does have a younger brother, but he died more than ten years ago, and the relationship between the two parties was not good when the other party was alive." Jiao Xuliang suddenly felt that the beautiful woman had a terrible heart, and she said those things to Lu Ting. When he spoke, his eyebrows and eyes were affectionate, as if he missed his dead brother very much.

Lu Ting feels that there is only one classic line that can describe the current situation, "If she did this to get my attention, then this woman has succeeded."

"I just asked about something else." Jiao Xuliang said, "Brother Li Shuang fell into the water and died. Besides Li Shuang, there was another girl present."

Lu Ting: "Who?"

Jiao Xuliang: "I don't know. My friend said that he was very impressed by that incident. Because when the death certificate was issued, the Li family couple cried very hard and kept calling for Li Shuang to return her brother's life. After that, Li My mother became ill from overwork and began to get sick."

"You guys just chatted for so long, shouldn't it be more than that?"

"Li Shuang couldn't stand his mother's abuse all day long and his father's drunken violence, so he moved out soon and lived with a female classmate."

"Ten years ago, how old was she then?"

"16 years old." Jiao Xuliang said, "My friend said that Li Shuang didn't go home at the time, and Li's couple even reported to the police. The police tried to mediate, but it was useless because it involved domestic violence. The Women's Federation mediates."

"What happened next?" Lu Ting asked.

Jiao Xuliang: "Later, Li Shuang's parents took money from Li Shuang's friends and agreed that Li Shuang lived in someone else's house."

"My brother fell into the water, Li Shuang moved, and my parents compromised." Lu Ting had a strange feeling, "Why is there always the shadow of her friend mixed in?"

Jiao Xuliang was taken aback, "That's right, my friend said that the girl was the same age as Li Shuang, she was not very old at the time, where did she get the money for Li Shuang's parents? Could it be a rich second generation with a lot of pocket money?"

Lu Ting was silent for a while, thinking about the wedding scene that day. After a while, he said firmly: "At the wedding that day, Li Shuang and the bridesmaids were not familiar."

From the beginning to the end, Li Shuang's attitude towards the bridesmaids was very reserved, and he even whispered thanks for taking the wine from the bridesmaids.Maybe they didn't even know each other before the wedding.

Jiao Xuliang only needs to dial slightly to know which direction to look for, "The matter of the bridesmaid is simple, all you need is to get the guest list."

After mobilizing several networks, it was finally confirmed that Li Shuang's bridesmaids were all friends of Kang Chengming.At the wedding, none of Li Shuang's relatives and friends came.

Including good friends who helped her during adolescence.

Did the two break up halfway?

Unable to tell why, Lu Ting cared very much about that girl, and desperately wanted to dig out everything about her.

Jiao Xuliang's ability is limited, further investigation can only rely on other relationships, and it will take more time.

Fortunately, Lin Zhiyan came back for dinner at noon, and after hearing what the two had said, he suggested: "I know some people in the education field, maybe I can start with Li Shuang's former school."

Two days later, the complete information about Li Shuang arrived.

The teacher who taught Li Shuang didn't know anything about Li Shuang's friends, no one had ever seen or heard of him.

Besides Li Shuang himself, the only person who might have seen that girl—the parents of Li's family—are dead.
