1659 Words
The maid brewed tea, Ling Yaqiong loves Mingqian Longjing, the clear aroma of the tea curled up and dispersed, she took a sip and asked, "What I told you last time, have you talked to Yan Jing?" Lin Yuxi paused, "Not yet." She did look for Zhou Yanjing, when he was still in Manhattan, Lin Yuxi said on the phone that she wanted to talk to him, he was busy, didn't have the patience to listen, and only threw her a sentence, "If there's anything, wait for me to go back and then we'll talk." After that, Lin Yuxi called a few more times, but she didn't get through, and then she stopped calling. "What I told you, you don't take it to heart at all." Ling Yaqiong's brows furrowed, "I told you to talk to him, it's been so long and I don't know what you talked about." "While Yan Jing is back now, the two of you take the time to go and finish the formalities, finish it early and get it over with." "Living in this state of life, letting outsiders look at the jokes, you guys don't mind being ashamed I still mind being ashamed." In these years, the most annoying thing for Ling Yaqiong is the marriage between Zhou Yanjing and Lin Yuxi, if she had known that she should not have let them get married in the first place, she would have killed herself. "Divorce is a relief for both of you, and I'm doing it for your own good." The teacup was a little hot, Lin Yuxi curled up her burned fingers and lowered her eyes to look at the floating leaves in the light yellow tea broth. If she didn't love Zhou Yanjing, it would indeed be a relief. "I'll discuss it with him." "Mister is back with the second son." The servant said. Lin Yuxi turned around. Zhou Yanjing was back with Zhou Qizhen. He had always been more casual in private, his suit jacket carried casually in his hand, and he walked in while talking with Zhou Qizhen, a loose smile hanging at the corner of his mouth. Only that a little smile in glancing at her, motionless fade. Ling Yaqiong also hadn't seen her son for a long time, and smiled brightly as she got up to welcome him, "Why did you suddenly decide to come back this time, and didn't discuss it with me." Zhou Yanjing said, "This surprise you do not like?" "What kind of surprise do I want, it's good if I don't get pissed off by you, leaving when I say go, coming back when I say come back." Ling Yaqiong blamed on her mouth, in fact, she has not seen her son for a long time, her heart is happier than anyone else: "Why are you thin again, did you not eat properly over there." Zhou Yanjing lazily stood there and let her scrutinize, smiled quite mixed: "Every time we meet, I said I am thin, or you planted me in the backyard in the bamboo forest." Ling Yaqiong slapped him in the face: "Your mouth is not serious." Zhou Yanjing has been a smooth talker since he was a child, and he is a good talker when coaxing people, and a good arguer when quarrelling. After growing up, he has become more stable, but in essence, he is still the same asshole, from childhood to adulthood, Lin Yuxi can't beat him. During the meal, Lin Yuxi sat next to Zhou Yanjing. Zhou Qizhen has been in a high position for many years, there is a majestic atmosphere, Lin Yuxi has been afraid of him since she was a child. At the dinner table, Zhou Qizhen cared for her as usual and asked how her work was going, and Lin Yuxi asked questions and answered them like she was being questioned by the head teacher. Only when Zhou Qizhen turned to Zhou Yanjing did she quietly breathe a sigh of relief. After that, father and son have been chatting about work, Zhou Yanjing's achievements in Wall Street in the past few years are obvious to all, Zhou Qizhen nodded from time to time, between words there is no lack of pride in this son. Lin Yuxi heart carrying things, can not eat, but afraid to put down the chopsticks Zhou Qizhen asked her words, so she had to pretend to eat, slowly counting the grains of rice. Maybe she counted too seriously, Zhou Qizhen still noticed: "Is the food not to your liking?" Lin Yuxi was about to say no, when Zhou Yanjing glanced at her leisurely: "She has to eat cat food." Zhou Qizhen:? Lin Yuxi was so embarrassed that she was just about to explain, but Zhou Yanjing seemed to think that his parents' expressions weren't wonderful enough, leaning back in his chair and lazily saying again: "I don't know what I ate to regulate it, but now it's giving birth to cats." Lin Yuxi: "......" So much so that she wanted to dig through the center of the earth and leave this world. Ling Yaqiong glared at Zhou Yanjing: "You child, net nonsense." Zhou Qizhen's serious face was silent, he did not understand the young man's terrier at his age, and tried to understand that having a cat is either a gynecological problem or a psychiatric problem, in any case, which one he, as a male elder, is not convenient to ask too bluntly. "Is Xiao Xi ...... not physically uncomfortable?" Lin Yuxi's face was embarrassingly red, busy saying, "No, he's talking nonsense." After the meal, father and son stayed in the study for some time, Ling Yaqiong went to send soup to the two and stayed for a while without coming out. Lin Yuxi originally sat and waited in the living room, didn't sleep well last night and worked all day, in no time she was so sleepy that she fell asleep crookedly on the sofa. Aunt Zhao, the maid in the mansion, came over and gently woke her up, "Yuxi." Lin Yuxi rubbed her eyes, "Leaving?" "The second young master and Mr. are talking about something, so I don't think they'll be leaving for a while." Lin Yuxi was taken care of by Auntie Zhao since she was a child, and Auntie Zhao treated her like her own daughter, "I've cleaned up your original room, do you want to go upstairs and sleep?" Lin Yuxi seldom came here on weekdays, except on New Year's holidays, or if Ling Yaqiong called, she wouldn't take the initiative to come over. There were still some of her things in the room upstairs, all old objects from her childhood, and not much belonged to her. She asked Auntie Zhao for a paper box, and when she finished packing and carrying the box downstairs, Zhou Yanjing just came out of the study. Zhou Yanjing's eyes slid over the cardboard box in her arms: "What did you take?" "Something from my childhood, I forgot to take it away." He pulled his lips, unable to say what it meant, in any case, it wasn't a smile. When he went downstairs, Lin Yuxi said behind him, "Don't talk nonsense in front of your parents next time." "I'm talking nonsense?" Zhou Yanjing paused in his tracks, raised his hand to tug his tie a little looser, and glanced back at her, "You didn't say it yourself." Lin Yuxi said, "I was joking, I'm embarrassed if you get it in front of your parents and talk nonsense." Zhou Yanjing inserted his hand into the pocket of his suit pants and looked at her with smiling eyes, an attitude of unconditional cooperation: "OK. Then in the future, I will pull a list of what you say, which sentence can be told to others, which sentence can not, you mark clearly, I strictly abide by it, so as not to accidentally disclose your little secret, and then take it out on me." This time Lin Yuxi heard it, it was sarcasm. "I'm not taking it out on you." Zhou Yanjing didn't care about her explanation, turning around and lifting his steps down the stairs. Lin Yuxi followed behind him, he was very tall, his back was drawn long and straight in the dim light of the stairwell. Obviously, the pace is lazy and diffuse, but Lin Yuxi is a little unable to keep up, and was soon left behind. Out of the courtyard, the black Bentley has been parked in front of the door, Zhou Yanjing stood by the car and lit a cigarette, scarlet fire in his fingers bright and dark, the night wind shows a few points of yuppie. When he saw her come out, he pinched the cigarette: "Are your legs so long for others? Walk so slowly." Lin Yuxi wanted to say I hugged the box you can not see, and lazy and he argued. I don't know from what, they have lost the desire to communicate with each other. Forget it. These two words appeared in her mind countless times, dispelling everything she wanted to say. Zhou Yanjing opened the car door and threw his jacket into the car, his bony hand resting on the top edge of the car door, his voice flooded with thin coolness: "What else did you not bring, or today all at once to take away." "No." Lin Yuxi was angered by him, "What's left is your Zhou family's stuff, keep it for yourself." She bent down to sit in the car and heard Zhou Yanjing give a cold, kind smile, close the door and get in the car from the other side. Zhou Yanjing's gentlemanliness was engraved in his bones, but that was an acquired upbringing, his venomous tongue and thinskinnedness was innate. Lin Yuxi used to only think that he was a flirtatious and thinskinned person, and only after marriage did she realize how ruthless he could be.
