That evening, when it was almost dinner time, Lu Qing was sitting in the restaurant reading the newspaper. Lin Jia was helping to carry the dishes and chopsticks. The butler came in and reported. "Sir, there is a Miss Cheng at the door!"
Lu Qing frowned, "Let her in!"
They have been living in isolation for the past few days, and an outsider suddenly broke into their small world. Lin Jia was a little surprised, a little unaccustomed, and a little unspeakably... uncomfortable.
Cheng Qingsang walked in, wearing a Chloe suit, dignified and decent, showing off the temperament of a lady. She suppressed her joy and nodded gently, "Excuse me!"
Lu Qing's eyebrows showed a hint of indifference. "How do you know this place?"
"Uncle Lu told me!" Cheng Qingsang smiled, "It's quite hidden here. I've been looking for it for a long time! Uncle Lu said that your cell phone couldn't be reached, so he asked me to come over in person to persuade you to go home, saying that he had important things to talk about.
!" She glanced at Lin Jia, a little wary in her heart, but she didn't show it. She still looked gentle and polite. "Who is this?"
"I'm Lin Jia!"
"It turns out to be A Qing's niece! Hello! I'm Cheng Qingsang!" She stretched out her hand gracefully. Normally, they were uncle-nephew, so she should feel at ease. But for some reason, she was always a little wary and unconsciously put her
Think of it as a love rival. When did you become so stingy? Even your niece doubted that love would make a woman so jealous.
Lin Jia shook hands with her.
"Uncle Lu asked you to go back together!"
Lin Jia said "Yeah", feeling that she was a bit redundant, "You have something else to talk about, right? I'll go upstairs first!"
Lu Qing stood up and held her, the heat of his fingers burned her skin. She panicked and asked him to let go with her eyes. Cheng Qingsang was still next to him, so he wasn't afraid of her picking up the clues? A woman's intuition is terrifyingly sharp.
.
Lu Qing ignored it and looked at Cheng Qingsang coldly, "I know! Please come back!" He was polite but unfamiliar and cold.
"But...I just came..." Cheng Qingsang knew she shouldn't stick to him, but she finally saw him once a month, and she didn't want to miss the opportunity. Looking at the dining table, she asked softly: "You haven't had dinner either?"
The word "ye" clearly meant that she wanted to stay. Lin Jia hurriedly said: "Yes! Now that we are here, let's go together!" She tried her best to act natural and show that she and Lu Qing just have an ordinary uncle-nephew relationship.
, so as not to arouse her suspicion.
Lu Qing's face darkened.
Lin Jia pushed his hand away and greeted Cheng Qingsang warmly. "I just happened to cook a few more dishes today. Mother Yu's skills are very good. You are in for a treat!"
"Thank you!" Cheng Qingsang turned around and saw Lu Qing still standing there with a tense face, which was a little strange. "A Qing, why don't you sit down?"
His cold eyes glanced at Lin Jia, but she lowered her head and concentrated on serving the rice, completely ignoring his eyes, which made him feel a lump in his throat and made him feel too stuffy to speak. He sat down without saying a word, his face not very pretty.
"By the way, there is a charity dinner next week. Can you accompany me to it?" Cheng Qingsang pretended to be casual and asked, "If not, it doesn't matter, I will..."
"No time!"
The refusal left no room for anything and was so direct that even an outsider like Lin Jia was embarrassed. She complained in her heart that Lu Qing was too heartless and didn't care about the girl's face at all. What's more, she was a daughter of a famous family and her skin was even thinner. So she hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "What happens next week, now
How do you know? Maybe you will be free by then?" Ignoring his increasingly cold eyes, she was enthusiastic. "Third uncle, I will promise it for you first! Don't worry, Miss Cheng, I will definitely do it when he is free.
Urge him to go!”
Cheng Qingsang's expression softened a little. "Thank you!"
"I often hear my grandpa mention you, and you often come to our house as a guest when you have time!"
Cheng Qingsang secretly glanced at Lu Qing and blushed. "I'm afraid someone won't welcome you!"
"How is that possible? You are guaranteed to be welcomed by our whole family, right? Third uncle?" She winked at him, but Lu Qing didn't answer at all. He could only smooth things over by himself, "Our third uncle talks less, and we talk a lot.
I didn’t say it, but that doesn’t mean I don’t welcome you in my heart! Maybe you’re waiting for me to mention it!”
"Huh? Really?" Cheng Qingsang's heart felt like water. Did he really expect her to go?
Lu Qing took a piece of ribs and stuffed it into Lin Jia's bowl, and said two words coldly: "Eat!"
Lin Jia said "Oh", not daring to offend him, so she had to talk to Cheng Qingsang about some irrelevant topics. After dinner, she found an excuse to leave, but was stopped by Lu Qing with a cold look. He said to Cheng Qingsang: "Go back
Bar!"
"Now? But, it's still early!"
"Yes! It's only around seven o'clock. You guys can chat for a while, and I'll make you tea!" Before his feet could move forward, he was grabbed by Lu Qing again.
"I asked Yu Sen to send you off!"
Having said that, Cheng Qingsang couldn't stay any longer and nodded. "The company has a meeting to attend in the evening, so I'll go back first! Lin Jia, thank you for your hospitality!"
"You're welcome! I'll see you off!" Lin Jia glared at Lu Qing, pushed her hand away, and sent Cheng Qingsang out with a smile.
When she came back, Lu Qing was standing at the top of the stairs, as if he was waiting for an attack to accuse him, but Lin Jia pretended not to see him.
"What did you mean just now?" His cold question rang in her ears. She paused and smiled. "Help you greet the guests!" She blinked innocently, "Did I not greet you well?"
That smile seemed so abhorrent to Lu Qing that he had the urge to snap her neck. "Is it necessary?"
"Why is it not necessary? Grandpa told her the address here and asked her to come to find you in person. It has basically been confirmed that she is the prospective daughter-in-law! It is the duty of a niece to greet the aunt in the future!"
"Future aunt?" Lu Qing smiled instead of getting angry, "Is this joke funny?"
"She comes from a famous family, your family backgrounds are similar, and my grandfather is very satisfied with her. I think there is a high chance that she will become my aunt!"
"So you can't wait to sell me out?"
"No need for me to promote, she is already your prospective fiancee!"
Lu Qing frowned, "You are deceiving yourself!"
"I don't!"
"Then you have a guilty conscience!"
"I..." Lin Jia held back her breath and tried to argue, but in the end she was defeated by her own heart. She closed her eyes and sighed softly, "That's right! I just feel guilty! Ever since it happened with you
After our relationship, I was like a frightened bird every day, for fear that others would notice what was going on between us. I was afraid that Cheng Qingsang would misunderstand, so I had to keep showing my kindness to her and pushing you to her to avoid her suspicion. Otherwise, a man and a woman would be alone in the same room.
, do you think she is really not alert at all?"
"Do you think this will help?"
"I don't know, but I don't want to sit still and wait for death! These days, I don't have to be exposed to the outside world, and I don't have to think about Ruan Yunan, Qi Fei, and the grievances of the Lu family. I have been very relaxed. I even regard this place as my safe haven.
, However, Cheng Qingsang’s arrival reminded me that paper cannot contain the fire. No matter how hidden it is here, someone will still know about it!"
"Only Grandpa knows about this place. I can find another place..."
She shook her head, "That's not the point! The point is, I can't deceive myself anymore! Isolating myself from the world and blindly escaping are of no use. What should be faced will always come, and I can't be an ostrich anymore! Thank you for these days.
I'm really happy that you took me in, but now I have to go back and face it! Good night!"
After saying this, she quickly ran away upstairs.
Lu Qing stared at her figure closely, clenching his fists and sulking. How could he make her understand that what he wanted to give her was not just a safe haven, but a home!
…
Not long after returning to the company, Lin Jia was arrested by Ruan Yunan and brought to the office to question him. His face was not ordinary ugly, and his eyebrows were furrowed, as if he wanted to eat her alive. But Lin Jia was not afraid at all.
Because she has a clear conscience.
Ignoring his sinister gaze, she asked calmly: "Is something wrong? I'm very busy!"
"You killed a human life, don't you feel any guilt in your heart?" He gritted his teeth fiercely.
"It's work time now. I don't want to talk about things that have nothing to do with work!" She stood up to leave, but was blocked by Ruan Yunan, "Please get out of the way!"
Ruan Yunan pushed her down on the sofa. His rough movements caught her off guard, causing Lin Jia's body to bounce up and her hair to fly around. She was annoyed, "This is a company, what are you doing?"
"You are such a cruel woman, you don't even let your children go. Don't you have nightmares at night? Aren't you afraid that they will seek your life?"
Lin Jia thought it was ridiculous and sneered. "You mentioned cruelty to me? Ridiculous! When it comes to cruelty, no one in the world can compare to you Ruan Yunan! Even if it hadn't happened that day, you would have forced Xu Jiamo to have an abortion, wouldn't you? All your own children have died.
If you can be cruel, aren't you afraid of going to hell?"
"Even if I go to hell, I will drag you with me!"
She rolled her eyes and said coolly: "Sorry! I didn't do anything wrong, and I won't go to hell with someone like you!"
"You're still making excuses!"
"Xu Jiamo knew that you wouldn't keep the child, and was afraid that your pregnancy would reveal your deeds, so he deliberately fell downstairs when he was pushing me, trying to put all the blame on me! I was just the one in her 'killing someone with a borrowed knife' trick.
It’s just a knife!”
"I saw it with my own eyes, and you still want to lie to me?"
"Your eyes have long been blinded by hatred. Can you see the truth?" Lin Jia stood up, stared into his eyes, and looked at him without fear. "I will tell you for the last time, when Lu Wan escaped
Going downstairs was an accident. But this time, it was Xu Jiamo who deliberately put the blame on me! This is the truth, believe it or not!"
"You..." Ruan Yunan pulled her back violently, raised his hand and slapped her in the face. The veins on his forehead were beating fiercely, like an irrational beast. His big palm stopped at her cheek,
But he couldn't shake it off. He tried his best to control his strength, and his whole arm was shaking, and his finger bones cracked.
His hateful eyes seemed as if she were a heinous sinner. Like a sharp knife, he pierced her fiercely. In the past more than 800 days and nights, she had been hurt by him countless times, but she was never as heartbroken and desperate as she was at this moment.
Her face was so painful that it lost all color. But she squeezed out a mocking sneer. "What? You want to hit me? Why don't you do it? Don't tell me that people like you can't bear it! But I won't stand and let you
Hit me, because the person in the world who is least qualified to hit me is you, Ruan Yunan!"
She pushed his hand away hard and strode away. Her back was straight and indestructible. However, her eyes turned red the moment she walked out.
…
Lin Jia went to the bathroom to tidy up a little. Not long after she came out, she accidentally bumped into a wall of people in the corridor and knocked over the information in the other person's hand. Papers flew everywhere. She apologized repeatedly and hurriedly knelt down to pick it up. "
Sorry, sorry..."
A finger suddenly lifted her chin. She raised her head and met Su Yuanyou's deep and sharp eyebrows. He always had a yuppie smirk on his lips and asked thoughtfully: "Are you crying?"
Lin Jia quickly pushed his hand away, "No!"
"why cry?"
"I said I'm not crying!" She screamed uncontrollably and raised her voice. After a few seconds, she said softly, "I'm sorry!"
Su Yuanyou shrugged nonchalantly, expressing his understanding. "Auntie is visiting?"
Lin Jia blushed and deliberately distanced the two of them. "Director Su, we haven't gotten to know each other that well yet!"
Unexpectedly, Su Yuanyou ignored her words and instead took her into his arms, feeling extremely comfortable. He lowered his head and smiled evilly in her ear, "Although we are in different groups, there is no need to draw a clear line. After all, we are colleagues. , we got together because of fate, let’s have a meal together after get off work? Do you want the beauty to show you your face?”
Lin Jia was made uncomfortable by his intimate behavior and kept trying to escape from his "claws", "Director Su, this is the company, please don't do this..."
"You mean in private?"
Facing the sly smirk in his eyes, Lin Jia was secretly annoyed. She had heard the rumors about Su Yuanyou. He was two completely different people in work and private life. He was serious and rigorous in work and selfless, but in private he was a
An out-and-out playboy, with a good family background, a young man with a silver spoon in his mouth, he has a good way of playing with women. But he didn't expect that the devil's claws would suddenly reach out to her! Even if he just teased her on a whim, he still let her
accurate.
In a fit of anger, she raised her high heels and stepped on Su Yuanyou's feet. A scream immediately came from her ears, and she laughed in relief.
Who would have thought that when she smiled, Su Yuanyou also put down his heels and smiled, "Does it feel less uncomfortable once you shift your attention?"
"Did you just do that because..." Seeing him nod, Lin Jia was angry and funny. "I thought you were ruthless enough to attack me!"
"Don't worry! Even if I'm hungry, I won't look for you! I mean, I won't look for people in the same company!"
"Given our friendship, do you need to take such a harsh kick just to relieve my anger?"
"It doesn't matter! It's not the first time anyway!" Su Yuanyou shrugged nonchalantly, amusing Lin Jia.
"Then I should thank you?"
"No need to thank you! Your mood directly affects your work. Working with negative energy is a taboo for designers!"
"Thank you for your sacrifice and guidance, I will keep it in my heart!" Lin Jia had a better impression of Su Yuanyou. The two casually chatted for a few words, but they didn't expect to get along well until a cold wind hit.
Lu Qing's tall figure passed between the two of them, and his calm and cold voice sounded at the same time. "Lin Jia, follow me into the office!"
