For a long time, Yin Shuang was in a bad mood. Firstly, she was worried about Lin Jia, and secondly, it was family matters. Ever since she broke up with her father Yin Dongqing and her mistress that day, she didn't know how to face him, so she simply moved away.
I live in an apartment and rarely go home.
My mother, Lian Ya, called her every three days, saying that she would make some soup and wait for her to drink it when she went home, but she excused herself with the excuse that she was busy with work. But procrastinating like this was not an option, so she made the third call of the day to Lian Ya.
After sounding a little angry, she had no choice but to agree to go home.
After work, I slowly returned to Yin's house.
"Miss!" The maid Lin came over to pick up her bag.
"Where's my mother?"
"Madam is making soup in the kitchen!"
"Oh!" Yin Shuang entered the kitchen, and Lian Ya was standing in front of the stove, carefully scooping out the floating oil on the soup surface. Her seven-month-old belly was already very big, and she was holding her waist with one hand, which seemed a little difficult.
Yin Shuang walked over and took her spoon, "Mom, make soup and leave it to the servants. Why bother cooking it yourself? You have a big belly now, what should you do if it happens?"
"You're back!" Lian Ya smiled at her, "You've been working all day, are you tired?"
Yin Shuang's beauty is completely inherited from Lian Ya. They both have charming looks, but their temperament and personality are completely different. Lian Ya is a lady from a famous family, gentle and virtuous, and her whole person exudes the grace and elegance of a noble lady. Although she is already two
The child's mother, but she doesn't look at all to be in her forties. She is well-maintained. It is no exaggeration to say she is in her early thirties. Her skin is as tender as a little girl's, and her eyes are very bright, shining with a gentle light.
.
"It's okay! Go and have a rest! Didn't I tell you not to enter the kitchen?"
"I'm fine. I'm pregnant with my third child and I know my body well." Lian Ya took the spoon again and continued to fish for oil. "Your dad said he wanted to drink the soup I made and asked me to leave a bowl for him for the night.
Ye, come back and drink in the evening. You and Xiao En have been busy during this period, so you must not have taken good care of yourself. How can you not drink some soup to replenish your body? In winter, you need nourishment the most! "
Seeing the happy gleam in her eyes when she mentioned Yin Dongqing, Yin Shuang felt very uncomfortable. During this period of time, besides not wanting to face Yin Dongqing, she was avoiding Lian Ya. She knew that if she told what happened that day, she would
Ruining Lian Ya's happiness would also destroy the whole family, so she couldn't say anything no matter what. But this way, she felt guilty towards Lian Ya, so she simply stayed away.
The Lian family and the Yin family were business partners. Lian Ya had just graduated from Stanford University and returned to China. She joined Lian as a senior director and wanted to show her ambition. However, she met Yin Dongqing and fell pregnant not long after falling in love. She resolutely gave up her career.
.An Anxin serves as Yin Dongqing’s virtuous wife at home, supporting her husband and raising her children, and training the two siblings of the Yin family to become talents.
In Yin Shuang's memory, Yin Dongqing was busy every day, and it was Lian Ya who accompanied her every day and took care of her meticulously. She was full of admiration for this mother.
She thought she couldn't be that great and couldn't give up her career for love and family. But she didn't expect that this great sacrifice did not gain Yin Dongqing's devotion. Instead, it created opportunities for him to find women outside. Yin Shuang was very disappointed.
, also hate Yin Dongqing.
"We are all adults and can take care of ourselves. You should take care of the baby!" Yin Shuang helped the pot-bellied Lian Ya to rest in the outer hall, touched her belly and smiled. "How is my brother? Is he good or not?
,Did he bully you?"
"No, he is very well-behaved. I don't know if the doctor made a mistake in the examination, but it is actually a girl. But it was you. When I was pregnant with you, I was kicked by you every day. I had vomiting and diarrhea. It was very hard.
Doctors say that you are the reincarnation of Sun Wukong. Even now, you are obviously a beautiful girl, but you are more stubborn than boys and go out every day!"
Yin Shuang stuck out her tongue, "No way! I'm being obedient!"
"If you ask me, the most important thing for a woman is her family. You are already twenty-four, so it's time to settle down. Your mother and I were your age, and you were already four years old."
"Ouch, here we go again. Can your time be the same as mine now? Don't always try to apply your experiences to me. I don't have any plans to get married yet!"
"It will be too late if you don't fall in love. Twenty-five is a watershed moment for a girl. It's best to get married next year!"
"It's like I'm not being chased by anyone. There are a lot of people chasing me, but I just don't like them!"
"I know my daughter is beautiful and has many people chasing her, but it's not okay to hang her like this. You haven't even come home during this period. Are you in love?"
"No...it's you who keeps urging me to get married. I don't want to go home!"
But damn, how could he not understand his daughter's thoughts? Lian Ya probably knew it when she saw her awkward look. "What kind of boy is he? How long have you been dating? Family background is not important, the key is character. As long as you make progress.
Be filial and have a poor family. Mom won’t mind. When do you bring it home for a meal? Mom has a good eye for people and will keep a check on you?”
Yin Shuang ventriloquised, if she had a good vision, would she choose a good man? But then again, who can see what will happen twenty years later when they get married? Although men all have bad qualities, at least when they get married, they also have the best intentions.
No one really wants to get married in a lifetime. She shook her head and put the matter out of her mind. "There is a chance!"
"If you have a chance, you have to set a time. Don't try to deal with me!"
"I know! Oh, I'm so tired just after I got back. I'll go up and take a shower first!"
She was as slippery as a loach and slipped away. Lian Ya had no choice but to shake her head. "Oh! This child is so worrying!"
Yin Shuang went upstairs to take a bath and was about to eat, but she didn't expect that Yin Dongqing and Yin En came back together. Before going home, she deliberately made some insinuations. She heard Lian Ya say that he didn't go home before he came back. Why did he go home again? She couldn't help but wonder.
I was stunned for a moment.
Yin Dongqing looked at her with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes, "Xiaoshuang, you are back!"
"sister!"
In front of the whole family, Yin Shuang couldn't help but get angry. Without even looking at Yin Dongqing, she carried Yin En and walked to the living room while tiptoeing and gesticulating with a smile. "Have you grown taller again? She seems to be taller than me!"
"
"Sister, I've always been taller than you!"
"No way! Do you remember that you didn't reach my ears until you were eight years old!"
"I'm 1.84 meters tall now!"
"You brat, what do you want to grow? But it's better if the boy is taller. Then you can find a tall girlfriend for the sake of breeding future generations."
Yin En blushed, "I didn't think that far ahead!"
She leaned over and bit her ear, "Hurry up and find a girlfriend to attract fire, otherwise my mother will urge me to get married every day and I won't even dare to go home!"
"I, I'm not that fast yet!" Yin En was silent for a while. After sitting down, he asked tentatively: "How is Sister Lin Jia doing recently?" He tried hard to suppress the anticipation in his eyes.
"not too good……"
"What's wrong? Has she encountered any difficulties?" Yin En grabbed Yin Shuang's hand nervously, "Didn't you say earlier that she wanted to divorce Ruan Yunan? Did Ruan Yunan disagree and be unwilling to let her go?
?”
"What are you in such a hurry for? Do you care about her?"
"No, no, it's just that Lin Jia is a good girl and I hope she is happy." He looked away, feeling a little guilty and his eyes flickered.
"She and Ruan Yunan divorced, and now they are planning to get married..."
"Marry?" Yin En's ears buzzed, "She, who is she marrying? But, doesn't she like Ruan Yunan? Why did she marry someone else? Did someone force her? The Lu family gave it to her
The person who arranged it?"
His anxious look and a series of questions inevitably made Yin Shuang suspicious, "Could it be that you have fallen in love with Lin Jia?"
"I didn't!" Yin Eun seemed to have been stabbed by someone suddenly. He almost jumped up in panic and denied continuously. "I didn't!"
But his reaction further confirmed Yin Shuang's guess. This was both unexpected and expected. When she was in college, she noticed that Yin En would often find various excuses to come to him, but they always came to him.
When Lin Jia was present, and he would ask her about her situation from time to time, he had never had a girlfriend. But she didn't think much about it at that time, or in other words, she didn't want to think about it. It wasn't until now that she had to face it head-on.
This fact.
If Lin Jia had not met her third uncle, she, as a sister, would definitely support her younger brother. After all, although Yin En is young, he is also a mature and responsible boy who can take care of others. She does not doubt that he will be a good boy in the future.
A good husband. His best friend became his sister-in-law, and they became more intimate. But now, this is absolutely impossible.
She felt sorry for Yin En, but she didn't take the matter too seriously. It's normal for a young boy to fall in love. It's like having a bad cold, it will be over.
Patting him on the shoulder, he said earnestly: "Whether you like Lin Jia or not, she already has a lover. That man is very good to her and is a man worthy of being entrusted to her for life. Sometimes love does not necessarily require getting the other person. The other person has
A good home is also a kind of happiness. People must learn to be tolerant and learn to let go. My brother is so smart, I believe I don’t need to say anything more!"
Yin En fell into deep thought. There was bitterness and sadness between his brows.
When Yin Dongqing came home suddenly, Lian Ya was naturally very happy and kept asking: "Didn't you get off the plane at ten o'clock? Why are you back now?"
"After the matter over there has been taken care of, I'll take the early flight back!" Yin Dongqing glanced at Yin Shuang subconsciously. The actual situation was that he knew Yin Shuang would go home tonight, so he postponed the meeting and rushed back. After that incident,
She didn't answer his phone calls and didn't come home. She was obviously running away from him. He had been looking for a chance to have a good talk with her.
Yin Shuang ignored his gaze and served Yin En a bowl of soup.
"Xiaoshuang, how have you been at work recently?" He tried to speak, but his throat was a little dry.
"That's it!" Yin Shuang replied coldly.
"She has a boyfriend, and she still hides it from her family!"
"Is he the boy from last time?"
"What? Have you seen it?"
Yin Dongqing realized that he had spilled the beans and explained with a guilty conscience, "I saw her with a boy near Xiaoshuang Company last time!"
"Really? How about the boy?"
"Not sure!" Yin Dongqing took a sip of soup and avoided the topic. Yin Shuang's indifference was a silent condemnation to him, which made his heart feel suffocating, and he turned to praise.
Said: "Today's duck soup is just right. My wife's soup-making skills are getting better and better. I am really lucky to marry you!"
Lian Ya was very sweet after hearing this and poured him another bowl.
However, Yin Shuang thought it was a huge irony and couldn't help but roll her eyes and said coolly: "You know it is a blessing, so you should cherish it. Don't let the gentle and virtuous people at home go unnoticed and provoke cats and dogs outside. Be careful.
Sick." Faced with Yin Dongqing's expression that instantly turned ugly, she turned to smile charmingly. "Dad, I'm not talking about you, but a common problem among men."
"Most middle-aged men are like this now. The red flags at home are still there, and the colorful flags are fluttering outside. Once they are used to living a comfortable life, they start to get distracted and start thinking about the little girl outside, for something new and exciting. Thinking
While you are still able to work, stay active for two more years. When you are over fifty, then live your whole life honestly with your wife."
"I admit that this is a normal phenomenon, but whether you can hide it or not is another matter, don't you think? It's not that every time I eat something secretly and wipe my mouth, I really think that I don't notice it. I walk a lot at night
Yes, there will always be ghosts! The world is so small, and if you are not discovered by your wife, there is no guarantee that you will be discovered by others. If your children catch you, where will you put your face?"
Yin Dongqing's face turned blue and black from time to time, and he could hardly lift his head.
Lian Ya was confused, "Girl, how can you do that when you are so good?"
"I just suddenly thought of this topic, let's chat casually!" Yin Shuang shrugged nonchalantly, smiling. "Mom, please don't worry about it and try to trick my dad, otherwise you will really 'unjustly accuse' him!"
"How could it be? Your dad is the most dedicated and good man I have ever met!" Lian Ya held Yin Dongqing's arm and cuddled up to him sweetly, "He only has this family and a job in his heart.
Are you thinking about provoking those women outside? There are indeed many middle-aged men who have sex, and your dad has a lot of sex. But I believe that he will not betray me!"
Her trust struck Yin Dongqing's heart like a whip, and his face burned with embarrassment.
Yin Shuang became even more angry and couldn't bear to look at it. She quickly finished the soup and put down her bowl and chopsticks. "I've finished eating, please use it slowly!"
"I just drank a bowl of soup and haven't eaten yet..."
"No, I can't eat it!" Yin Shuang glared at Yin Dongqing, who looked embarrassed, and went upstairs.
Yin En still couldn't recover from the heavy blow of Lin Jia's remarriage, so she put down her chopsticks calmly, "Mom and Dad, I'm going upstairs too!"
"Why are these two children so strange?" Lian Ya shook her head in confusion, looking confused.
Not long after Yin Shuang went upstairs, she was feeling angry. Yin Dongqing knocked on the door and came in. Holding a plate of freshly cut cantaloupe in his hand, he stood there calmly. He controlled the fate of thousands of employees in a large company.
A successful entrepreneur, at this moment, he was like a child who had made a mistake, at a loss as to how to ask for forgiveness. He grinned awkwardly and looked for a topic to chat with.
"Dad!" Yin Shuang interrupted him, "Don't do this! I can't forgive you!"
Yin Dongqing immediately didn't know what to do.
"I won't mention it in front of my mother, I just don't want her to be sad, and I don't want our family to break up like this, but I'm really angry with you. I even hate you!" Yin Shuang gritted her teeth, "I know that men are greedy for novelty, and they only focus on one thing all their lives.
Not many people fall in love with a woman. I always criticize men's bad qualities mercilessly because I don't believe them in my heart. I can even imagine that I will take my children and catch my husband in the future. I can accept this.
But it can’t be you!”
She shook her head sadly. "I know you are also a man. I tried very hard to persuade myself to understand you and tried to look at this matter tolerantly, but I couldn't do it. I really... I really couldn't do it.
I would rather not see anything. Because you are my father, the man I trust most. You work from dawn to dusk for this family and have sacrificed a lot, but this cannot be the reason for me to forgive you!"
"I don't know if I can forgive you in the future. Even if I forgive you, I won't forget you. But right now, I can't face you. I can't face a man who went out to eat while his wife was pregnant!"
"Xiaoshuang..."
"I don't want to talk to you anymore. This kind of thing will have no results! Go out and let me be quiet."
Yin Dongqing had a lot of words stuck in his throat, but he finally swallowed them back and just said "I'm sorry!" before closing the door and leaving.
Yin Shuang took her mobile phone and called Su Yuanyou, but he turned it off. She turned off the light, fell back on the bed, and shed tears in the darkness.
…
After Lin Jia and Lu Qing returned to China, they went directly back to the villa on the top of the mountain. That night, Lin Jia had a nightmare, dreaming of Cheng Qingsang's body. She woke up in the middle of the night, opening her eyes in horror. The surroundings were dark, with only the faint loom through the gap in the curtains.
Some moonlight came through. The cold sweat on her back and rapid breathing gradually made her wake up and realize that this was just a dream.
Lu Qing's hand was still around her waist, and she was sleeping soundly. She looked at him in the darkness, her breathing gradually calmed down, and she snuggled into his arms.
"Well..." Lu Qing muttered, narrowed his eyes slightly, subconsciously protected her, and kissed her forehead, "What's wrong?"
She trembled uneasily like a little animal, and said shakily: "I...had a nightmare..."
"What did you dream about?"
"I dreamed that Cheng Qingsang died, her body was right in front of me, and she looked at me..." She still felt shuddering thinking about it now, and she closed her eyes, "I'm so scared..."
"It's just a nightmare, it's okay!"
"I always feel that her disappearance has something to do with me. I feel uneasy even if I can't find her even one day! I'm so scared..."
"I'm here, don't be afraid!" He gently held her head and pressed her against his heart, letting her listen to his heartbeat. He put his chin on the top of her head and gently stroked her back with his hand to help her breathe.
"No matter what happens, I will be with you. Don't be afraid of anything. I'm... hmm?"
Listening to his gentle voice, Lin Jia felt vaguely that she felt a lot more at ease. Even the cold night became gentle and her fingers gradually regained their warmth.
Lin Jia slept peacefully in his arms for the rest of the night. Lin Jia slept until dawn and the sun was shining brightly. She turned over and found that the person beside her was no longer there. She got up to wash up and went downstairs. Lu Qing sat in the living room to eat.
Breakfast. When he saw her coming, he motioned with his eyes to Rong’s sister-in-law to pull out a chair for her.
"Why are you up so early?" He smiled at her in the sunshine, with the light golden light of the morning, gentle and beautiful.
"Um!"
Sister-in-law Rong brought the bird's nest over. Lin Jia thought it was a bit too sweet and unappetizing, but she still drank it obediently.
After Lu Qing finished breakfast, he came over and bent down to kiss her. "Have a good rest!"
"Wait a minute... I'll go to work with you." She stood up in a hurry, but her movements were too big. She swayed and almost fell. Fortunately, Lu Qing held her in time, and he was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. "Be careful!"
"You are pregnant, stay at home and rest!"
"No! I've been away from work for a long time, and I want to go back to work! Before I cause a bigger mess, before my belly gets bigger, it's easier to go to work. I want to do more things. When I get a belly full,
, it’s even harder!” She held his hand seriously and begged: “Let me go to work, okay?”
Lu Qing couldn't resist her, so he had to agree, but made her promise that he would take her to and from get off work every day. The car drove to the back door of the company, and he escorted her out of the car, watched her go in, and then asked Yu Sen to go back to the front door.
When Liang Qian saw her coming back, she happily chased her gossip again. "First mate, your attendance rate has been very bad recently. You have to disappear for a few days after working less than a week. What are you doing? Are you busy dating? When will you get married?
?”
"Don't worry, if I want to get married, I will definitely ask you!"
Liang Qian said "Yeah", "It seems that she really plans to get married!" When she asked her before, she always coyly refused to admit it, even her boyfriend had to hide it. Now she suddenly let go, which shows that she loves her very much.
It’s so deep and hot!
Su Yuanyou knocked on the door, and Liang Qian turned to look at him, but he was obviously not in the mood today and was a little depressed, so he just smiled at her. "You go out first!"
Lin Jia happened to be looking for him anxiously, "Are you looking for me to ask about Cheng Qingsang? Do you have any further news?"
He shook his head and pinched his eyebrows with a headache. "She hasn't been found yet! I checked her itinerary and she disappeared after going to the United States. I guess she went to the United States to find you!"
"Well! She did come to me and wanted me to come back to see Lu Qing, but I refused. After I went out to buy things and came back, she disappeared. I thought she left on her own. If she was really in the United States
If she disappears, will it have anything to do with me?" This confirmed her biggest worry.
"It's still unclear. If it's a kidnapping, then we've already received a call from the kidnapper, so that possibility is basically ruled out. The police are currently investigating several people who had business issues with the Cheng family, and there's no result yet! If you
If you think of any clues, please notify me as soon as possible."
"Now because of this incident, the family is in chaos. My uncle only has a daughter like this. I really can't imagine what would happen to her..." Su Yuanyou shook his head and did not continue.
"Okay! Jiren has her own destiny, I believe she will be safe and sound." At the moment, Lin Jia could only comfort her like this, but in fact, she had no confidence at all.
If Cheng Qingsang's disappearance is really related to her, then maybe it was her enemy who did it. However, Yan Duluo is dead, and only Lu Wan is left. She is a bit sinister, but she may do such a crazy thing.
