Aunt Sun, who opened the door for me, looked at my obvious surprise and said anxiously: "Xiao Lin, where have you been?"
I put away my sister-in-law's things and said, "I'm going to my sister-in-law's house. She wants me to help her bring back the things she bought for the Chinese New Year. Is my grandpa asleep?"
Aunt Sun nodded, still looking puzzled: "Xiao Lin, did you and Xiao Xu have a fight?"
"What's wrong? Did she say something?"
My heart tightened, and I immediately looked at Aunt Sun seriously.
Aunt Sun's expression became even more puzzled: "She is here, but the girl kept crying. I asked her what was wrong, but she didn't say anything, so she gave me your phone and said you left it with her. It was very strange."
She looked in a hurry and said that she wanted to leave for a while. I wanted to call the old man, but she didn't let me. She asked me to tell the old man that she was going back to her hometown and asked him not to worry about her. She didn't want others to see her like this.
, and then left...Xiao Lin, did you have a quarrel?"
she left?
I felt a lot relieved. Although I didn't expect her to think about it quickly, but something like that happened at her house and I almost strangled her to death. She should have known about it and was frustrated, but
I hope this entanglement ends here.
There was no need to explain too much to Sun Suizhi. After a few vague words, I went into the room and handed her the salary and red envelope I had prepared for Aunt Sun. Aunt Sun took the money and said it was too much, "
Xiao Lin, a month’s salary doesn’t cost that much.”
I smiled and persuaded her to accept it: "Aunt Sun, the two thousand is a red envelope for you. Thanks to you for taking care of my grandpa this year, you deserve it."
Aunt Sun couldn't refuse me and kept saying thank you: "Xiao Lin, call me when you come back with the old man after the new year. I can go to work any day! Don't worry, as long as I work at your house for a day, old man, I will
I will definitely take care of it for you. Even if one day you don’t pay me a salary, I will help you as long as you need it. Auntie now really regards you as a family."
I also nodded and said thank you to her. Of course you have to give money in return for people's hard work. However, sometimes the feelings that come from getting along cannot be measured with money. I also believe it. Aunt Sun patted her chest and said to me.
These words are not because I gave her an extra 2,000 yuan in New Year red envelopes, but because she has a real relationship with our family.
But as soon as Aunt Sun left, I fell ill. I was indeed sick from the cold that night. I honestly took the medicine Zhuo Jing bought for me, but my head felt groggy all the time, and I felt dizzy and lethargic.
I had a cough and a runny nose, but I happened to be stuck at the end of the New Year, so I declined the invitations in advance and made appointments for the rest after the New Year. I wrapped myself in a big quilt and stayed at home every day. It was completed.
My grandpa can look at my wish every day. There is nothing else. Every time I say a word to my grandpa, I have to blow my nose with a tissue. In Cheng Baize's words, the skin on my nose is almost gone, and all the capillary blood is gone.
Exposed, the whole thing is a clown's nose.
Grandpa has been trying his best to persuade Cheng Baize to go to my house to celebrate the New Year. Of course I know what grandpa has in mind. As long as Cheng Baize goes to my house, I am sure my grandpa will announce something at the dinner table. But Cheng Baize declined and he had to go back to the south.
, is it celebrating the New Year? There is still Master’s family waiting for him behind him, and he can’t always stay away. In the end, my grandfather has no choice but to urge him to come back early after the New Year. Cheng Baize reassures him, saying that he has taken care of the people in Master’s family.
Things will come back as soon as possible.
The twelfth lunar month is the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. There is no thirty this year, so New Year’s Eve is the twenty-ninth day. Cheng Baize went back a day early. He came to say goodbye to his grandfather with his suitcase in hand. My grandfather urged me to see him off with toilet paper stuffed in my nose.
, I spared no effort to create a space for Cheng Baize and I to be alone. I can't do anything about this. I just feel that it is imperative to bring Zhuo Jing to see the master after the year.
After helping Cheng Baize press the elevator, I muttered: "Drive slower on the way to the airport. There will definitely be a lot of people today. Give me a call when you get there."
Cheng Baize looked at me seriously and said nothing. I frowned and tugged on the blanket wrapped around me: "What are you looking at?"
He shook his head and suddenly stretched out his hand to rub my head: "No matter what happens, we have to relax. There are some things that we can't stop. We can only let nature take its course."
I was stunned for a moment and pulled off the paper blocking my nose: "What are you talking about?"
He shook his head with a smile and stepped into the elevator: "It's okay. I will deal with the things at hand as soon as possible and go see you. Take good care of grandpa."
I frowned and looked at him: "It's so foggy..." My heart tightened immediately. Looking at the elevator that was about to close, I immediately took action to stop it in the middle: "Wait a minute!"
The elevator rumbled, and the mouth that had been closed unwillingly opened slowly, which shocked Cheng Baize: "What are you doing? I'll catch you again!"
I sniffed hard and looked at him closely: "Have you noticed something? My grandpa will not have a bad year this year..."
"Nervous!" He looked at me speechlessly: "You are not an Onmyoji. Can you tell that something happened to your grandpa?"
"Then my brain is not working right now. I'm so groggy that I can't tell. Who told you to always talk in a dazed way?"
"I was wrong, okay! Stay back! If you reach out to block the elevator door again, I will misunderstand that you are reluctant to let me go!"
"cut!"
I snorted and grabbed my blanket tightly: "Do you know that I don't want to scare you now?"
He glanced at me angrily and pressed the elevator with his hand, "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. You just have to be aware of it."
"Hey, you...you didn't tell me what I was thinking!"
I looked at the closed elevator door and stamped my feet angrily. I couldn't explain what was wrong with me!
People say that during the New Year, you should seek good luck, say good things, do good things, and everything goes smoothly. How can anyone tell people what is a blessing or a disaster and whether it is inevitable to avoid it? Just let nature take its course, and the big snot that was already flowing was so angry at that time
It surged!
After entering the house, the more I thought about Cheng Baize's words, the more awkward I felt. I quickly sniffed and offered some incense to the old immortal. After being sick, my body's ability to feel was very weak. I couldn't do anything else, so I looked at the incense head. As a result, the lighter could not be lit.
Xian'er won't show it?
Is it because of my health? I quickly stood up, opened the drawer of the TV cabinet and took out the matches I bought before. My grandfather was watching TV and frowned as he watched me wandering around: "Jiaolong, what are you looking for?
ah."
"nothing."
I pulled out a tissue and blew my nose again. As soon as I stood up, my hand slipped and a whole box of matches fell directly into the tea vat where my grandpa drank water. "Hey!"
Grandpa was startled for a moment, then reached out to pick up the wet match: "Jiaolong, this dropped so accurately!"
I didn't say anything, and I began to feel something was wrong. I ran to the opposite side of my grandpa in a few steps, half-crouched in front of him and looked at him carefully. My grandpa was shocked by my look and said, "What the hell, look at what I'm doing."
"fine."
Although my brain is a little hard to use now, I managed to work up a lot of energy to look at my grandpa’s face and I didn’t realize there was a big problem, because at present the oldest person in our family is my grandpa, who is in the worst health, and I’m afraid something might happen to him.
It's impossible for me to be unable to hold the match. It's clear that Old Xian'er refused one after another and didn't want to see it. It's like going to the grave to burn paper for your relatives. Sometimes people don't accept the same thing. There are rules everywhere, so since there's nothing you can do about it.
Light incense to enlighten me, so I can only give up.
It is conservatively estimated that nothing major will happen. First of all, my grandpa's face does not show signs of disaster. Yintang is faintly blackened, but his health has not been good for a long time. This should not be a big problem. The only thing that will happen is himself.
I'm so angry that I have to get sick at this juncture, and I can't see things well!
The sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole sounded, and I stood up holding on to the coffee table. Could it be that if I drive home like this tomorrow, I might get into a small car accident or cause an accident or something...
"Jiaolong! I'm back!"
Wen Xiaoni who came in looked at me and opened her mouth to say hello. I responded, pulled back from my thoughts and looked at her: "Did you send Zong Bao to the car?"
Wen Xiaoni hummed and looked at me shyly: "He's been put in the car. He said he would come to my house in the second grade of junior high school."
I nodded: "I asked you to help me buy the things?"
"I bought it and I'll give it to you now."
"Okay, go to my room."
"This match..."
I turned around and glanced at my grandpa, took the match in his hand and threw it directly into the trash can. I changed the water in the teapot for my grandpa and asked him to continue watching TV. Then I took Wen Xiaoni back to the room.
After sitting on the bed, Wen Xiaoni took out the mobile phone card and handed it to me: "I bought it at a small communication store as you asked. Such cards are everywhere now, and no one can check them."
I nodded. Although I have been sick these days, I have not forgotten about An Qi. Now that the bait has been laid and An Qi has bitten the hook, the waiting time is almost up, so I naturally have to reel in the line.
The reason why I didn't do it too hastily was because I just wanted to catch An Qi. I didn't have to think about it to know that the impact on her heart must have been great when she was stimulated by me that night. According to what I know about her, she would definitely go crazy.
She usually fights back against me, so she will definitely keep harassing Xu Linlin and asking about the photos. Xu Linlin will definitely be very annoyed when she takes advantage of her and asks for the photos——
But that reporter is a friend of Fang Dapeng. Last night, I even called Fang Dapeng sickly to confirm, which confirmed my suspicion. Fang Dapeng said that the woman who hired his friend to secretly photograph me has been anxious to ask his friend for photos recently.
But his friend said that the computer was broken and all the photos in it were missing. He would have to find an opportunity to retake it after the new year to delay it. Finally, Fang Dapeng asked me if I had found out who the woman was.
I didn't tell Fang Dapeng clearly who it was, but I told Fang Dapeng that I would solve it, so that his friend could rest assured that after the year, his employer would definitely not be looking for him to photograph me, and his friend would not be in a dilemma.
Fang Dapeng was puzzled and said, you can really handle it, don’t you need my help?
I sniffed and said, "No need really. I'd really like to thank you if you could help me stop these photos. But I also want to thank you for helping me so much. TV stations have always asked me to do exclusive interviews. You know me."
I was very resistant to appearing on TV before, but now I want to make an appointment after the new year to appear on your program...
"Really? Jiaolong! You're not lying to me!" Fang Dapeng was extremely excited on the other end of the phone: "You are an exclusive! Are you going to share with everyone the story of your becoming an Onmyoji!"
I opened my mouth gently, "I want everyone to know that I am a woman."
"Okay, no problem. I'm super inspired right now. If the preview of this program is released, I won't even have to think about the ratings! Jiaolong, I really don't know how to thank you!"
"I want to thank you for always helping me."
"Don't say that. Don't worry, I will respect you very much. All questions and the editing before and after editing will be reviewed by you first. We will not broadcast it until you fully agree. The name of this program can also be yours.
Come on, I suddenly have a lot of inspiration... just call me Onmyoji!"
"Can you call me, I'm Maggiore."
"Okay! It's all fine. I'll start working on the idea now, and I'll go find you later in the year to schedule it. I'll report it to the leadership when we've completely decided on the content of the shoot and the direction of the program!"
"Okay... then I'll hang up now, and we'll contact you again after the year."
"Well, I hear you seem to have a cold, Jiaolong, take care of yourself. Whether you can be on my show or not, you are the friend I care about most. Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year."
Wen Xiaoni frowned and raised her hand and waved it in front of my eyes a few times: "Jiaolong, why are you so stunned again?"
I reacted and looked at her: "No, don't you remember everything I told you? Just put the card in and call this number directly."
Wen Xiaoni's expression was a little nervous: "It won't be a problem, right?"
I looked at her helplessly: "What's the problem? If I hadn't caught a cold and the voice recognition was too obvious, I would have come by myself. Why are you afraid of anonymous calls? When I told you about this, weren't you still filled with indignation and said you wanted to
Did you help me?"
There was still hesitation in Wen Xiaoni's eyes, "But, she is a big star. Now, she has a lot of connections. You said this is the media she is familiar with. Will they find out about us?"
On the head."
I was too lazy to pay attention to her, so I took off my phone and pressed the card directly: "It would be great if she could find me. Forget it, forget it, I'll call it myself."
I dare not say anything else, but Xu Linlin will definitely not know that I know about her scandal, and I did not choose Sister Li’s recording. As soon as this media is familiar with her, she must be related to the higher-ups. If I want to play with her to death, I will
There is no need to call and give the recording directly to Fang Dapeng. Secondly, if I expose the recording, it will be equivalent to pushing Sister Li out. This is when Xu Linlin is in the limelight. There is no need for me to do this, and I am mainly targeting
Nor is it Xu Linlin.
"Let me fight. The voice changing function may also be able to hear the sound of your cold. Isn't it the first time I do this kind of thing? Please let me adjust my state a little. Okay, okay, don't look like this.
, I’m scared, I’ll fight now…”
Wen Xiaoni was mumbling, and when she saw me looking at her speechlessly, she immediately picked up her phone and dialed the number I gave her: "Are you sure this is the right number?"
I nodded firmly, "I'm sure that such a big media has a special hotline for reporting news online."
"Oh." Wen Xiaoni responded. After dialing the number, she pressed the speakerphone, pursed her lips unconsciously, pointed to the music on the phone and mouthed to me silently: "It's connected."
This person was so nervous, it was really difficult for her. I looked at her helplessly and pointed to my ears: "I'm not deaf."
Wen Xiaoni swallowed her saliva bitterly until a pleasant female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, this is the news center of Jinxun Media. If you have any news clues, please call 00378..."
Listening to the woman's voice on the phone, Wen Xiaoni trembled as if having a peeing fight, and then pressed a few numbers with trembling fingertips until the transfer music sounded again, followed by
A slightly tired female voice came out from the noisy typing sound: "Hello, this is Jinxun Media. Do you have any news clues to provide?"
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that media workers are also very hard-working and don’t take a break during the New Year. But it’s a good thing that I don’t take a break, otherwise my plan would have to change!
Wen Xiaoni raised her eyes and looked at me. I hinted to her, "Speak!"
"Hey, hello, are you listening? This is Jinxun Media..."
"Oh, I'm listening."
Wen Xiaoni adjusted the child's voice, and I really want to know what the effect sounds like.
"Okay, if you have any news clues to provide, I will record them for you now." The tone there did not show surprise. It seems that there are quite a few people who changed their voices and called the media to break the news.
"I, I want to break the news, about the current popular stars." Wen Xiaoni looked at me, still talking to the phone, and there was silence for a second or two: "Okay, then which star is it?
"
"Linda."
"Linda?" The tired female voice on the other end of the phone finally showed a hint of surprise: "Then what information do you want to expose about Linda?"
"She studied at a key polytechnic university four years ago, but she suddenly stopped studying at that time. It was always announced to the public that she dropped out due to family reasons, but in fact she was not. She was expelled from school for stealing. All you have to do is go to school for this matter.
If you check it out, you will know that she stole an Omega watch worth more than 60,000 yuan from her schoolmate..."
"That's right. Just wait a minute. Are you sure Linda was fired for stealing?"
Wen Xiaoni nodded according to my instructions: "I'm sure."
"We need evidence to expose this kind of news, otherwise the celebrity's reputation will be damaged and she will sue us. Do you have any evidence in your hand now?"
"I don't have any evidence of what happened four years ago. I just need to go to her school to check, and I will definitely find out. I still know the school girl she stole from!"
"In this case, can you leave your name so that we can contact you after confirmation? Because as long as we find out that the information is true, we will give you a clue fee."
I raised my eyebrows, and Wen Xiaoni straightened her back at that time: "You think I'm stupid, I'll tell you my name, then Linda won't trouble me if she knows about this!"
"Don't worry, the names of all our clue providers are kept strictly confidential, otherwise I wouldn't be able to pay you the clue fee."
"I don't care about the money, I just want to tell these dirty things about Linda. How can a thief be an inspirational sister? Is it so easy to let the matter of stealing my friend's watch go? I'm dreaming!"
"Don't get excited. That's it. We will investigate this matter. You said Linda stole your friend's watch. Will your friend come forward to testify now?"
"Of course she knows. It's just a matter of what I said. You go to the Polytechnic University to check first. Then you will know whether what I said is true or false. That's it, I'll hang up now!"
After saying that, Wen Xiaoni hung up the phone directly, looked at me and couldn't help but caress her chest: "It's quite enjoyable!"
I looked at her with a smile and blew my nose again: "Okay, I'm doing well, I have a bright future."
Wen Xiaoni quickly removed the card from her phone, then looked at me: "It's useless."
I nodded: "Just throw it away."
"Okay...but, Jiaolong, why don't you let me directly say that the whistleblower is Tong Anqi? Wouldn't it be more clear?"
I waved my hand and threw the tissue aside: "You can't do this. If someone reports his name anonymously, then it's a bad idea. Just pretend to reveal a few details unintentionally. Don't worry, this media has always been...
We are very protective of Linda and they will not investigate. We will definitely notify Linda of this matter as soon as possible. Linda will also listen to your phone recording and she will guess who it is as soon as she hears it."
Wen Xiaoni looked at me as if she understood: "Well... Jiaolong, if she calls your sister, wouldn't the two of us know that this is not the case?"
I twitched my lips and said, "Of course An Qi will deny it if she hasn't done it, but Xu Linlin won't believe it. She is inherently suspicious, and her success is hard-won, especially in the past two days.
Qi must have had many quarrels. An Qi likes to talk without hesitation, and our phone call did not provide any evidence, it just revealed some details. Xu Linlin and An Qi have made so many phone calls, and there must be recordings of each other.
, Therefore, in Xu Linlin’s view, this phone call is Angel’s second threat and warning.”
"Then will Linda do something to your sister in a hurry..."
"Xu Linlin wouldn't dare to do it even if she wanted to. She would also be wary of the Zhuo family's influence behind An Qi."
As I said that, I took a long breath and opened my mouth gently: "The important thing is that their cooperative relationship... has completely broken down." (To be continued)
