It was unusual for Lin Xiangwan to leave work an hour early. In the past, she often didn't get off work on time, but it was all because of overtime work. This was the first time she had left work early.
This happened not because of how dedicated she was, but because Renai's overtime pay and perfect attendance bonus were really impressive.
She would definitely not be able to get perfect attendance this month. If it had been before, Lin Xiangwan would have gritted her teeth and cursed the man who had caused her to lose an income so much that she would choke her teeth even if she drank ice water. But now, she just wants to leave as soon as possible.
What Ji Moli said was like a spell, making her feel cold all over and making her want to escape.
The sun shines on the body, but it fails to bring any warmth to people. The dazzling and dazzling light makes people's eyes sore.
Lin Xiangwan opened her palms, and there was a huge ugly scar across her palms, cutting off her life and emotional lines.
She will not forget the origin of this scar. It rained heavily that day, and her blood mixed with rainwater flowed in front of her father's grave. She will not forget how the Chu family treated her, and how he took it from her.
, taking away her important things one by one, she will not forget the promise she once made to her father's tombstone...
Whenever she was shaken and unable to hold on, she would look at this scar like this.
It reminded her all the time of what she had lost, and what she had lost could never come back.
She can't go home. Ye Nan is an extremely sensitive child. He will definitely detect that she is upset and will worry about herself. She can no longer implicate Ye Nan because of her own affairs.
Where to go?
Lin Xiangwan stood at the door of the hospital blankly. City H was the city where she was born and raised. She had always felt that this city was as close and familiar to her as her body. But now, she felt extremely confused. Such a big city
In this city, she could not think of a place where she could think quietly and calm her mind.
Do you want to toss a coin, with heads facing east and tails facing west?
While she was thinking wildly, suddenly there were heavy footsteps of a man approaching her. Lin Xiangwan raised her head and saw the person, and was so shocked that she could not speak.
"I knew you wouldn't keep your promise, so I specifically turned down a meeting." A smile appeared on Chu Di's face, as if he had guessed that Lin Xiangwan would skip work, and he reached out to pull her away.
Come here, "Isn't it cold standing in the wind?"
When the man's warm fingertips touched her cold skin, Lin Xiangwan subconsciously shook it hard.
A crisp sound of "pop." made both of them raise their heads at the same time. Lin Xiangwan clearly saw that the smile on Chu Di's face seemed to be frozen by the cold wind and slowly disappeared.
Chu Di waited in front of the hospital for a long time. When he was sitting in the car waiting for her to get off work, he was thinking about what to say to her for the first time when he saw her.
He knew that something was wrong with his state. He had been uneasy since he hung up the phone from Lin Xiangwan. Even his secretary noticed something strange about him and thought he had some sudden illness.
Only Chu Di himself knew that he was indeed ill, but there was no cure for such an illness.
He and Chu's mother had a big argument on the phone because of Lin Xiangwan's affairs. This was not the first time they had argued. In the past four years, they had had countless arguments surrounding her problems, although most of the time they had argued.
Chu's mother was scolding angrily, while Chu Di responded with silence, but this silence did not mean that he was weaker than her.
On the contrary, most disputes end with Chu Di's victory.
This time, it's the same.
Chu's mother was determined not to give up her complaint against Lin Xiangwan and her colleagues. Although she had not suffered any substantial damage to her interests, Lin Xiangwan's own existence was a threat and a provocation to her.
Chu Di's business has grown bigger and bigger in the past few years. As the mother of the president of the Chu Group, Chu's mother's life has been smooth. It has been a long time since she met someone who upset her so much. Lin Xiangwan's
The appearance made her heart, accustomed to ease, become nervous again.
In addition, Chu Di personally interceded for her, which added fuel to the fire and made her unable to accept it.
"It doesn't matter if you disagree, as long as you don't want to see Chu Hao again in the future..." After Chu's mother's stormy rebuke, Chu Di only said this sentence in reply to her.
But those words were like a basin of ice water poured on Chu's mother's head, causing all her anger to disappear in an instant.
"Chu Di, are you threatening me? Because of that girl, are you threatening mom?" Chu's mother's voice, which was tearing and shouting just now, became trembling and fragile after hearing Chu Di's words.
"I'm just telling you my decision, Mom. I don't want us to always argue about the same topic. It's too time-consuming and meaningless. Even if Ye Xiangwan has done anything wrong, she has already paid for her mistakes.
The price has been paid... I don’t want to continue anymore... If you agree, I will let Jasmine take Chu Hao back to the old house with you after she is discharged from the hospital... If you don’t agree, then I will send Jasmine and the child back to her
My natal family.”
Chu's mother had been looking forward to the birth of her grandson. Before the child was born, she had been busy with him and bought a lot of things. After learning that Ji Moli was unwilling to breastfeed, she also asked someone to find a reliable wet nurse.
If she takes care of Chu Hao, she will definitely be very sad.
Chu Di knew that doing this was considered unfilial, but he had no other choice.
This is perhaps the greatest benefit of being a relative, because you always know what their weaknesses are.
However, Lin Xiangwan didn't know all this.
The moment Lin Xiangwan opened his palm, he saw the irreparable damage in her eyes, as well as the deep-seated hatred. Although it was only fleeting, he saw it clearly.
It's not awkward, but that's not true. In fact, he really wanted to turn around and leave now, then ignore her for the rest of his life and let her fend for herself, but he couldn't do it.
When people are young, they always overestimate themselves and think they can control their own destiny. But they don't know that birth, old age, illness, death, separation, and other major life events are all beyond their control.
You can't control your heartbeat and heartache.
Chu Di couldn't deceive himself. When he heard that Lin Xiangwan agreed to have dinner with him, he was as excited as an ignorant boy. He turned down the important dinner with foreign businessmen in the evening, and
After a few presentations, he rushed over from the company and stood blankly outside the hospital waiting for her to get off work.
He knew something was wrong with him. This behavior was stupid and dangerous. He should stop immediately, otherwise he couldn't predict how things would develop, but...
No matter how loudly his reason shouted at him, deep in his heart, there was a voice telling him that he didn't want to.
He doesn't want to stop.
Even if you know that she has ulterior motives, even if you know that she must have some ulterior motives when she comes back, even if you know that there is a cliff ahead.
He still doesn't want to stop.
Just close your eyes, close your ears, and walk on blindly.
Even if it ends in a doomed outcome, so what?
"Is your company going to close down? Did you get off work so early?" Lin Xiangwan recovered from the initial shock of seeing Chu Di. She asked angrily, looking around, hoping that she and him
Don't be seen by acquaintances when you meet, otherwise you won't know how to explain clearly tomorrow.
"If I get off work on time, can I still catch you?" Chu Di pressed the electronic key, and the car parked not far away made two soft beeps, "Get in the car, it's too early now, let's find a place
Sit down."
It was too late to escape. Although Lin Xiangwan was extremely reluctant, he was still pulled into the car by the man.
"What are you doing?" Lin Xiangwan was sitting in the passenger seat. Chu Di suddenly leaned over. She nervously squeezed her body towards the seat and the door, glaring at Chu Di warily.
"I'll give you a seat belt. This car is going too fast. What do you think I can do in broad daylight?"
Chu Di's tone was very bad, "I'm not as hungry and thirsty as you think, and you're not as attractive as you think."
"Really? Then why do you have to treat me to dinner? Mr. Chu, you can stop the car and drop me off right now. That's what I want."
“Don’t even think about it!!”
From the first time they met again, the two of them couldn't talk about each other. They were like water and fire, and they wanted to fight each other to the death.
Chu Di was now gritting his teeth with hatred, but he couldn't bear to actually put Lin Xiangwan on the roadside. He had no place to express his anger, so he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
The car quickly drove out of the crowded urban ring road. The silver Brady Veyron was rampaging on the highway, dodging left and right, shuttling between cars like a snake. Lin Xiangwan had something on his mind. Originally,
She felt so congested in her heart, and coupled with the strong push and acceleration of the car while driving, her face immediately turned pale.
Holding back the discomfort in her body, she turned her head to the side, clenched her fists tightly and her joints were lightly green, and refused to say a soft word to Chu Di.
This is not the first time I feel so uncomfortable.
It's not a big deal, just be patient and it will pass.
Chu Di's initial anger slowly faded away after the car drove onto the highway. What was he doing? What benefit and significance did this have to himself and her? He is a businessman and has always been
There is no gain, and only when he is with her, he will always be carried away by anger and make some actions that are unpleasant to both of them.
The car's sealing was so good that even at a speed of 180 miles, there was still no noise inside the car. But now, Chu Di would rather have some noise come out to dilute the suffocating silence between the two of them.
Looking back inadvertently...
"Why do you look so bad?" Lin Xiangwan's pale face and gray lips immediately reminded him of her sudden illness in Chicago. He immediately turned on the turn signal and Chu Di drove towards the highway exit.
