Chapter three hundred and ninety first meet and smile
Part of the West District has been built, and Zhang Chi walked in along the bluestone pavement with red lanterns hanging on both sides. The block is not big at present, and you can walk back and forth in ten minutes. The atmosphere during the New Year is not lively, and young people are paying less and less attention to the Spring Festival.
Now, relatives and friends mostly send blessing messages to each other.
Zhang Daxian doesn't like the Internet. Although the Internet can indeed provide a lot of convenience, he always feels that because of the emergence of this thing, people have become more and more indifferent between each other, and the mortal world has developed an alienation similar to that of heaven.
Zhang Chi thought of Lin Daiyu. I wonder how she spent the Spring Festival this year in a foreign country? She raised her head and saw Lin Chaolong walking on the street. Lin Chaolong also saw Zhang Chi at the same time. They both thought they had seen it wrong, so they confirmed it, and then
At the same time, he smiled.
Zhang Chi said respectfully: "Uncle Lin, happy New Year!"
Lin Chaolong nodded: "Are you back for the New Year?" He once invited Zhang Chi to celebrate the New Year together in the capital, but he was rejected.
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "We just arrived in Beichen at noon today."
Lin Chaolong asked: "Have you eaten yet?"
"have eaten!"
"I haven't eaten yet, would you like to have a drink with me?" Lin Chaolong's invitation this time had no purpose. He really wanted to find someone to accompany him, and when he met Zhang Chi here, he actually felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Zhang Chi did not refuse, nodded and said: "I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat."
Lin Chaolong laughed: "I'd better treat you to some Japanese food." Seeing Zhang Chi's reluctant expression, he knew that he didn't like it, and looking at Beichen, there wasn't any authentic Japanese food. Lin Chaolong said: "How about you treat me.
"
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "If you don't mind, I'll treat you to a barbecue." He also had some intentions. The more condescending the old bastard was, the more he wanted to take him to such a down-to-earth barbecue stall to experience it.
Lin Chaolong asked: "Is there a barbecue today?"
"Yes, I just saw a family next to the Kwai River."
Lin Chaolong actually nodded and followed Zhang Chi towards the barbecue stall by the river. When he arrived, he found that the stall had been closed down and only the mutton ramen next to it was still open.
Zhang Chi touched the back of his head in embarrassment: "There was more just now."
Lin Chaolong said: "Just this one, ramen is also fine."
The two of them went in, and Zhang Chi ordered a portion of lamb tripe, a portion of boiled peanuts, roasted mutton, and stir-fried mung bean sprouts. There was no need for extravagant meals for the two of them.
Lin Chaolong looked at the drinks. There was no good wine in the mutton restaurant. He got up and went to the tobacco and alcohol wholesale store next door to buy two bottles of Mengjiu Handmade Ban, Moutai, and Wuliangye, but he did not dare to buy them because there were too many fakes.
Zhang Chi said: "Uncle Lin, I'll treat you as promised, but why did you buy some wine?"
Lin Chaolong smiled and said: "You treat me to a meal, and I treat you to a drink. I don't like to owe others anything in my life."
Zhang Chi unscrewed the bottle of wine, filled the glass, picked up the glass and said: "Uncle Lin, I respect you!"
Lin Chaolong said: "What do you want to respect me for?"
"wish you healthy."
Lin Chaolong smiled and said, "Don't you wish me lots of wealth?"
Zhang Chi said: "You are so rich, you can't spend it all anyway, any more will be a burden."
Lin Chaolong laughed, he clinked the wine glasses with Zhang Chi, and drank the wine in the glass with a tilt of his neck.
Not to be outdone in front of Lin Chaolong, Zhang Chi drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, saying that the wine tasted really good.
Lin Chaolong tasted the sheep tripe. He couldn't remember the last time he had eaten in a fly restaurant like this. Not to mention, the taste was more satisfying than Japanese food. The soil and water support a person. He still loved this bite in his heart. He picked it up on the table.
I peeled off the garlic cloves, and every bite of mutton was a bite of garlic.
Immortal Zhang discovered that Lin Chaolong had actually put down his previous elite persona, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lin, did you often come to this kind of place in the past?"
Lin Chaolong said: "I wanted to come when I was a kid, but I couldn't afford it. When I could afford it, I didn't have time to come." Life is really a contradiction.
Zhang Chi said: "It's not that you don't have time, the main reason is that your status is not suitable for coming to this kind of place."
Lin Chaolong said: "Identity is in the eyes of others. If there is no one else but yourself, money and status are meaningless at all. It is not as enjoyable as having a glass of wine and eating meat." He picked up the wine again: "Here.
, let’s have another drink together.”
Zhang Chi was keenly aware that Lin Chaolong must have encountered something, and it was not a trivial matter. Thinking of the impact that the failure of the life field upgrade had on his company years ago, he asked insinuatingly: "Did the incident that happened in our college affect your business?"
Lin Chaolong nodded: "It has some influence, but it's not a big one. Didn't you tell me, anyway, I have so much money, even if I lose a little, I still can't spend it all. It would be a good thing to be less burdensome."
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "It's thorough! I'll toast you with another drink."
When he picked up his wine glass and made a toast, Lin Chaolong saw that his watch was the same model as his own. Lin Chaolong's first thought was that it might be a high imitation bought from Zhanxi Watch City. After taking a second look, it must be genuine.
, Lin Chaolong said: "Not bad!"
Zhang Chi looked at Lin Chaolong's Nautilus: "Hey, just like you."
Lin Chaolong said: "This watch is very popular. It has almost doubled the official price. When I bought it, it was not as popular as it is now."
Zhang Chi said mysteriously: "This is a fake watch."
What kind of eyesight does Lin Chaolong have? This kid is obviously wearing a real watch and actually tells himself that it is fake. Could it be that Chu Wenxi bought this watch for him? Lin Chaolong is suspicious by nature and thinks that this is the only possibility. With Zhang Chi's current ability, he must buy it.
Not worth it.
Because of the watch, Lin Chaolong thought of Huang Chunxiao's benefits again. It was she who gave him this watch back then, but now it seems like a different person. He gave Chu Wenxi a second life, but Chu Wenxi didn't give him anything.
After the divorce, he also took away 100 million from himself in the name of Huang Chunxiao.
Zhang Chi said: "Uncle Lin, have you contacted Xiaoyu in the past two days?"
Lin Chaolong glanced at Zhang Chi. It seemed that Chu Wenxi really didn't tell him that matter. Lin Chaolong said: "She is very good!"
Zhang Chi said: "Has Aunt Huang contacted you?"
Lin Chaolong said in his heart that you don't know where to start. Before the festival, I asked her whereabouts specifically and you couldn't answer her questions. Now she asked me about it. Lin Chaolong shook his head and said: "We have lost contact since we separated.
"Zhang Chi, you really don't know the reason for our divorce?" He asked deliberately, trying to find out from Zhang Chi's reaction whether Chu Wenxi had told him.
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "How can I, a junior, interfere with Uncle Lin's family affairs? By the way, I did receive greetings from Aunt Huang."
Lin Chaolong said in surprise: "Really?" The time for Chu Canghai to give him an ultimatum was getting closer and closer. Although Lin Chaolong used all channels, there was still no news about Chu Wenxi. Unexpectedly, he got Chu Wenxi's information from Zhang Chi.
information.
Zhang Chi gave Chu Wenxi's mobile phone number to Lin Chaolong. He couldn't guarantee that the call would get through. He wanted to give it a try. Maybe his mother didn't want to answer his call, but she might not want to answer Lin Chaolong's.
It was not convenient for Lin Chaolong to say some things in front of Zhang Chi, so he excused himself to leave first. Lin Chaolong called the number. Although the call was open, the other party did not answer. Lin Chaolong sent a message but never received a response.
Lin Chaolong was walking aimlessly along the street lights alone. Under the dim light of the street lights, a few flying catkins were floating, falling on his face and feeling a little cool. Only then did Lin Chaolong realize that it was snowing and did not feel cold.
, the alcohol made his body warm.
He quietly asked himself what he was afraid of? Although Chu Canghai was strong, he might not lose in an open and honest competition, light? Lin Chaolong looked up at the dark night. He preferred darkness. Only in the night did he feel safe.
, don’t worry about too many people recognizing you, you can let go of all the constraints, walk freely on this ordinary street, and be an ordinary person.
Lin Chaolong came to the Huang family's old house by accident. After the fire, he had it renovated. It was completed years ago. However, Lin Chaolong had never been here before. When he came to the gate of the courtyard, he saw the figure of a woman standing there.
There, he stared blankly at the courtyard gate.
Lin Chaolong was taken aback, and quickly judged who it was from the back, and whispered: "Chunli?"
Huang Chunli turned around slowly and glanced at Lin Chaolong's face indifferently. She knew Lin Chaolong and knew that he was her brother-in-law, but she had very few memories of Lin Chaolong. She said calmly: "Brother-in-law!"
Lin Chaolong suddenly remembered that today is the second day of the Lunar New Year. This is the real reason why Huang Chunli came back. This is her natal home!
Lin Chaolong squeezed out a smile and said: "This is also my first time here. I asked someone to change the password lock. Your sister suggested that the password should be your birthday. This house belongs to you."
Huang Chunli said nothing.
Lin Chaolong suggested: "Go in and take a look."
Huang Chunli nodded, came to the door, pressed the password compiled for her birthday, and the courtyard door opened. The layout of the buildings inside was the same as before, except that everything had become new, and the landscape of the courtyard had been redesigned.
The two separate courtyards in the past were connected. Lin Chaolong drew a sketch based on his memory of this place, but Huang Chunli had lost her memory for more than ten years, so the courtyard in her memory originally looked like this.
There are several huge koi carp in the fish pond, and they have now become the only residents here.
When Huang Chunli went to visit the house, Lin Chaolong stood by the fish pond and admired the koi carp. The colorful koi carps were swimming in the water, glancing at them, disturbing the water in the pond and disturbing his state of mind. He had too many ulterior secrets.
, the more secrets there are, the more flaws there will be.
These secrets have become poisonous thorns growing in reverse in his heart, leaving him bleeding and full of holes.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Chu Canghai had not contacted him yet, and there were only two hours left before Chu Canghai's ultimatum.
