The turmoil caused by the Gu's trading incident seemed to have subsided after Gu Xian was taken away by the police to assist in the investigation. Now, in the entire S city, there is no large enterprise or business consortium that can compete with Lin's.
The group has become the largest commercial group in East China.
At the same time, Lin Xiluo resolutely terminated his marriage to Gu Xinyi, regardless of the objections of his father and the group's senior management. Gu's trading overseas investment projects were also fully acquired by Lin.
For this reason, people in the industry have mixed opinions on Linxiluo's approach. Some people accuse Linxiluo of not remembering old feelings and being ungrateful. He should not be so decisive. After all, Gu Xinyi is innocent. Others agree with his approach.
The point of view is that Gu Xian was wrong in the first place. He did not help Lin when he needed help the most, and also wanted to annex it with others. Lin Xiluo just retaliated with tooth.
Lin Xiluo used Zheng Yufeng's help to defeat the Gu family, and agreed to Zheng Yufeng's request to take back the Zheng family's assets and start a new business. Seeing that Lin Xiluo ignored the past grudges, Zheng Yufeng acted generously, and he and Lin Xiluo finally settled their differences.
, no matter what, their two families can be considered relatives.
Soon, as the New Year was approaching, the Lin Group and the newly established company of the Zheng family signed the first cooperation agreement with people's eager expectations.
Time flies so fast, and it’s almost New Year’s Eve in the blink of an eye. Just as people are happily welcoming the arrival of the New Year, enjoying the convenience and stability brought to them by the rapid economic development of S City, they have good hopes for the new year.
The longing and yearning, but some people can't be happy no matter what.
Su Zhengliang and his mother were busy in the kitchen. Tomorrow was New Year's Eve, so they naturally had to make good preparations.
Mother Su handed Su Zhengliang a basin of marinated fish, "Xiao Liang, help mom put the fish in the refrigerator, and then take out the chicken from the freezer."
Su Zhengliang silently took the fish, opened the refrigerator and put it in, then took out the chicken and placed it on the counter.
"By the way, Xiaoliang, Aunt Wang next door asked about you a few days ago and wanted to introduce her niece to you. I heard that her niece is an English teacher and has a very good personality and appearance. How about waiting for the New Year...
"
Su Zhengliang lowered his head and slowly washed the white radish, "Mom, this time our college has a quota for studying abroad. Professor Zheng wants me to go. Yesterday I received a notice that I have to leave early on the fourth day of the new year."
Mother Su was surprised when she heard her son mention this, "When did it happen? Why have I never heard you mention it?"
Su Zhengliang put the washed radish on the chopping board, "The matter was decided a little hastily, so I didn't have time to discuss it with you."
"That's okay. In fact, mom also wants you to go abroad to see it, but you haven't had the chance. Where will you go? How long will it take?"
Holding a kitchen knife in his fair and dexterous hand, he cut the radish into regular-shaped pieces, "Going to the United States will take up to four years and two at the minimum."
Mother Su's movements suddenly stopped, "What? It takes so long?"
Pingze's voice was smooth, "Yes."
Su's mother hesitated for a while, then walked up to Su Zhengliang and said, "Xiao Liang, Mom is worried about you going there alone for such a long time. Can you not go?"
Su Zhengliang lowered his eyelids and flatly refused, "No, the visa and air tickets have been processed."
Mother Su was so flatly rejected by her son that she didn't know what to say. She sighed heavily. After a long time, she asked, "Xiao Liang, are you blaming Mom?"
Su Zhengliang's narrow eyes were dim and dull, "No, Mom, you are not wrong."
"Mom knows that you are feeling very bitter, but there is nothing I can do about it. In this society, the relationship between two men cannot last long after all. Although you love Linsilo and he also loves you, your relationship cannot last long.
It cannot be accepted by the world. Moreover, the relationship between you has no legal protection, let alone any restriction. Once either party changes his mind, the other party will suffer a lot."
Su Zhengliang put down what he was holding and listened silently.
"Lin Xiluo is the president of a large group, and many people will pay attention to his words and deeds. The last time your affair with him was exposed, wasn't it because someone took advantage of it and made a big fuss about it?
Even if mom agrees to the two of you being together, how long can such a relationship last? A person of his status must have a woman who is the right match for him to get married and have children.
You have to accept the pressure. When the time comes, you will be the injured one. Mom really doesn’t want to see you hurt by him again, so..."
On Su Zhengliang's pale handsome face, a hint of sadness flashed away like water marks, "Mom, please stop talking. I understand all your hard work. I'm going back to the room first."
Mother Su sighed again as she looked at her son's lonely figure leaving.
Su Zhengliang returned to the room and quietly watched everything in the room.
His eyes, like water, flowed leisurely, and gradually settled on the dark coat in the corner beside the bed. This was the one Lin Xiluo was wearing that night.
Su Zhengliang walked over step by step and gently picked it up.
High-grade all-wool fabric, exquisite hand-weaving, soft and tight to the touch, Su Zhengliang lowered his head and buried himself in the coat. He took a deep breath, and the faint smell of tobacco instantly filled the entire nasal cavity, making Su Zhengliang close his eyes involuntarily.
Eyes closed.
Holding tightly the only thought left to him by this person, Su Zhengliang slowly leaned against the bed.
Linsilox...
By the time Mother Su finished everything, it was already dinner time.
"Mom, I'm back," Su Zhengqing returned home from outside carrying large and small bags.
"Qingqing, why did you buy so many things?"
Su Zhengqing's bright red face raised two blushes, "They are all gifts from friends, put them in the refrigerator quickly."
Mother Su took the things and said, "Which friend bought so much for you? Thank you very much for my mother."
"I won't tell you who it is. Anyway, I will thank him properly."
Seeing her daughter's mysterious look, Su's mother had a premonition that something good was coming, and quickly asked, "Is it possible that you have a boyfriend?"
"The relationship hasn't been confirmed yet," Su Zhengqing stuck out her tongue. Seeing a table full of dishes, she couldn't wait to try it first.
"Wait a minute, call Xiaoliang here to eat together."
Su Zhengqing said "Oh" and had to call his brother.
Pushing open the door, Su Zhengqing saw Su Zhengliang holding his coat and leaning motionless by the bed.
Sighing slightly, she walked up lightly, only to see her brother's brows were furrowed and there seemed to be traces of wet water at the corners of his eyes.
A touch of sadness filled her beautiful phoenix eyes little by little.
