Ah Chao looked a little embarrassed and hesitated: "...take a look."
Xue Ling already had obvious presbyopia, and her first reaction was that she was all red. When she saw clearly the two people leaning together on the side of the photo, she was slightly stunned.
In the maple leaf forest all over the mountains and plains, Lin Qingzhi and Cheng Huanchong were both dressed in snow-white thin down jackets. There was a touch of white among the red bushes, which was beautiful and romantic.
Cheng Huanchong was in front, and Lin Qingzhi behind him put his arm around him and placed it gently on his neck.
The two seemed to be chatting, with smiles on their faces, and their behavior was intimate and tender.
Xue Ling was stunned for two or three seconds and then quickly calmed down.
"Achao, track down the other party's website address and location."
"Yes, ma'am." Achao nodded immediately.
Xue Ling turned around and took out her mobile phone. She was about to open her youngest son's WeChat account, but the tip of her hand paused.
After a while, she retrieved Lin Qingzhi's number from her address book and dialed it directly.
More than half an hour later, Lin Qingzhi's assistant arrived.
“Mr.
Xue Ling nodded lightly and said nothing.
The assistant was slightly embarrassed and whispered: "Mr.
"Let's find a quiet place to chat for a while." Xue Ling shook his head: "Ask him not to come to Xinyuan for the time being. It's not convenient to talk here."
She still didn't have much confidence that she could handle this matter properly, and she didn't have much confidence in the reactions of other people in the family, especially her husband.
No matter what, you can't make the news public so rashly, lest you frighten a group of people who are unprepared. You must at least give them some buffering and reaction process preparations.
The assistant is busy answering.
After a while, he said in a respectful and low voice: "Mr.
Xue Ling took a look at the sky and said: "I'll go in and put on a coat, then I'll be able to set off. I'll prepare my own car to go there, which will make it easier to go back and forth. By the way, one of my bodyguards needs to follow me. He's tracking this now."
."
"Okay, okay."
Xue Ling hurried back to her room, changed out of her home clothes, and told her parents who were watching TV in the living room that she was going out.
"You may not be able to come back in time for dinner, so you guys eat first."
Father Xue warned: "Remember to bring your coat, it will be very cold when the sky gets dark."
"Okay." Xue Ling looked at the love and warmth in his old father's eyes and couldn't help but hesitate for a moment: "...I'll take it."
No matter how old you are, even if you are already gray-haired, in the eyes of your parents, you are still just their little baby, and you still need their care and love.
Xue Ling screwed up her handbag and walked out the door with a steady pace.
…
Suburban, small teahouse
When Xue Ling got out of the car, he found that Lin Qingzhi had already arrived and was standing in the cold wind, waiting at the door of the teahouse. His face was slightly red from the cold, but his eyebrows were still as calm and composed as ever, and he was elegant and noble.
She looked at him and smiled slightly.
Lin Qingshang paused as he stepped forward, his hands under his sleeves curled up unconsciously, and he bowed slightly to Xue Ling.
"Hello, Auntie."
Xue Ling nodded: "Let's go in and chat."
Lin Qingzhi did not expect that she would be so calm. Thinking of Chen Xinzhi's words before, he secretly guessed that Xue Ling must have known about it for a long time. He felt a little more at ease in his heart and made a respectful gesture of invitation.
"Auntie, please come with me."
The teahouse is small, decorated in an antique style, without too many complicated decorations, and the fragrance of tea is lingering and pleasant.
This is Lin Qingzhi's own property. It is said to be a teahouse, but in fact it is not open to the outside world and only serves his own family.
Lin Qingzhi quickly washed his hands and made tea himself.
"Auntie, I'm sorry, you have to run out in the cold weather. Let's have a drink to warm up first."
Xue Ling nodded and drank the tea.
The aroma of the tea is light and faintly incense on the taste buds. It is obviously a high-quality tea.
After she finished drinking, her hands felt a little warm, and she slowly put down the tea cup.
Lin Qingzhi knew that she was waiting for him to speak, and nodded politely: "Auntie, I have sent someone to investigate this matter clearly. It was the misguided master of the mountain manor who caused trouble. It has been brought under control and no information has been leaked."
Xue Ling was not surprised at all by his vigorous and resolute actions, but looked at him calmly.
"Young Master Qing, after all, paper can't cover up the fire. If there is such a problem today, you can suppress it quickly. But what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? In the end, it will still be hidden, isn't it?"
Lin Qingzhi gave a low "hmm" and said, "Auntie, can I ask you something - why did you pretend not to know before?"
"I wasn't sure at first." Xue Ling said truthfully, "Later I thought maybe you were just impulsive and I need to give you time to adjust. Then I thought let nature take its course and your children and grandchildren will be blessed."
"Thank you." Lin Qingzhi bowed slightly.
Xue Ling chuckled: "No need to thank you. Just because I don't speak, it doesn't mean that I am supportive."
"I know." Lin Qingzhi said warmly: "But this junior is already grateful."
Xue Ling lowered his eyes and looked at the tea cup with smoke rising in his hand.
"You didn't let A Chong know about this?"
Lin Qingzhi shook his head: "He has been secretly worried that his family will not accept it and is secretly worried. I don't want him to be trembling and frightened."
Xue Ling's eyes were slightly hot and he whispered: "I think so too. When I saw the photo for the first time, my first reaction was that it must be dealt with immediately. Looking back, it actually came from the old mother's protective heart.
It’s a mother’s natural instinct. People who are not parents don’t know that when they have children, they are their second life. No matter how old the children are, or even how old they are, they are still the darlings in the eyes of the father.”
"Auntie..." Lin Qingzhi's deep eyes moved slightly, "I feel ashamed that your love for A Chong is less than one ten thousandth. But to me, he is the most important person in my life. In
In my heart, he is already my relative, not just a lover."
Xue Ling did not raise her eyes and looked at the tea in the cup.
"As a mother, I am very grateful to have one more person who truly loves my child. I may not be able to understand the feelings between you, but I am not unsupportive."
It's not that it's not supported, but it's not supported either.
Lin Qingzhi asked sincerely: "Auntie, can you take a step forward and support me and A Chong?"
Xue Ling was silent.
Lin Qingzhi whispered sincerely: "Auntie, I know it's difficult for you to take this step. I also know that sooner or later our affairs will not be settled, and we will have to face you sooner or later. I don't care, but A Chong is very scared and worried.
, afraid that you will blame him, afraid that you will ignore him. After all, in his heart, you are his most important relatives and the people he cares about the most."
