Chapter 100: The Story
"That's Zhan Qi's, you, you have to treat him, your wife and children don't have much snacks, and they stay in the company every day. ”
The old man symbolically slapped the table and glared at Zhan Qi angrily, seemingly teaching a lesson, but his tone was not very strong.
Zhan Qi looked at Lin An'an, his expression was a little complicated, and in the face of the old man's scolding, he endured it silently and didn't say a word.
"I heard you two seem to have had some misunderstandings lately?"
The old man took the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and mentioned it seemingly casually, but Lin An'an's face instantly sank.
She buried her head slightly, glanced at Zhan Qi, and then withdrew her gaze, but the chopsticks didn't move.
"An An, I have to say to you, at any time, you can't use your own safety as a bargaining chip, that's your hole card, you show your hole cards, you have already lost half of it. ”
Old Man Zhan looked at Lin An'an, and didn't mind that she didn't look up, there was some kindness in her eyes, and she said earnestly.
Her hand holding the chopsticks tightened, and she suddenly raised her head, as if she didn't agree.
"Then I watched him torture my loved ones to death?"
Lin Anan asked angrily, with a hint of grievance in his tone.
She originally thought that the Zhan family didn't know about it, but now she found out that they all knew.
But no one else took care of it.
Now it's time to blame her for being too extreme.
Seeing that Lin An'an became excited as soon as he mentioned this, Old Man Zhan sighed helplessly and shook his head.
Zhan Qi turned his face away, took a deep breath, held it in his heart, and said nothing.
"An An, there is no conclusive evidence in this matter, and there are too many doubts, I believe you will not conclude that this is done by Zhan Qi. ”
Old Man Zhan's expression became serious, and he looked at Lin An'an with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through her soul through her eyes.
"Did you do it?"
His gaze fell on Zhan Qi, even more fierce than before
, almost the posture of the interrogator, without half a human touch.
"It's not. ”
Zhan Qi replied without hesitation, simply and incomparably, but she couldn't help but sneer, full of sarcasm.
Old Man Zhan looked at her again, squinting slightly, unable to see any emotion.
"It's not that the old man is biased in favor of Zhan Qi, I want to find the truth, I support you, and I will give you some help. ”
Lin Anan was surprised by what Old Man Zhan said, and his eyes moved between him and Zhan Qi.
"If this matter is really what Zhan Qi did, how do you punish An An, I won't say a word, old man, he deserves it. ”
Hearing this, Lin An'an couldn't help but be a little shaken in his heart, and he had a slight doubt about his previous judgment.
She thought about everything that had happened before, but she couldn't piece together any other possibilities.
All that came to her mind was his words threatening her with the safety of his loved ones.
Every sentence was uttered by him himself, so fierce and vicious, he didn't care that it was all her relatives.
She has the truth in her heart, and what she wants is evidence.
It is the evidence that can directly beat the battle seven to the point where there is no place to turn over.
"Until you find out the evidence, An An, you can't gamble with your life like before!"
Seeing that Lin Anan didn't speak, Old Man Zhan only thought she was still hesitating and continued to speak, his eyes glazed over.
It seems to be caring, but it implies a hint of warning.
She looked at him and nodded, agreeing.
"And Zhan Qi, such a big person, what can he say and what can't he say, don't you count it in your heart?"
As soon as the conversation changed, Old Man Zhan knocked on the table again, his face was a little angry, and the blame in his words became heavier.
"I'll go out and take a call. ”
Zhan Qi didn't appreciate it, he didn't even want to be perfunctory, he took out his mobile phone directly, and went out under the pretext.
"You!"
Old Man Zhan was very angry by his attitude, pointed to his back, and held his breath for a long time.
"This kid, treat him! An'an, you treat him well for me!"
After a while, he said to Lin An'an, blowing his beard and glaring angrily, and asked her to deal with him.
She looked at his back as he went out, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she didn't know how to answer in the face of Old Man Zhan's words.
"He is a person, in front of us, in the company to show off his might, so majestic, whoever is in front of him, has to bow his head. ”
But in front of the woman he likes, he is a stupid child, he doesn't know how to say anything, whether he is wronged or uncomfortable, he suffers alone in his heart. ”
After being silent for a while, Old Man Zhan leaned back, looked at the back of the chair, and said with emotion.
Lin Anan didn't dare to agree, she and him were arguing and confronting each other most of the time, with red faces and red ears, like enemies who did not share the sky.
"This kid, what I admire as an old man is the word forbearance, no matter how many grievances he suffers, he can endure it in his heart and not say a word. ”
"I remember when he was young, he went out to play with his friends, boys, always had to be skinned, so something happened, and a little boy almost lost half of his leg. ”
Old Man Zhan looked up at the sky, the corners of his lips rose slightly, and he frowned, as if he was recalling the details of that time.
He said it seriously, so Lin Anan didn't bother, and the things he talked about changed from disdain at the beginning to curiosity.
"When the parents investigated it, all the friends pushed this matter to Zhan Qi, and even the injured one said that it was him, and it was he who pushed the little boy, so it caused the tragedy. ”
Zhan Qi said that it was not him, but no one believed him, so he never defended a word, and no matter what others said, he no longer gave any explanation. ”
"He was isolated by his friends, no one played with him anymore, everyone avoided him, pointed fingers at him, and called him a bad guy. ”
Lin An'an followed the old man Zhan's narration in his mind, and the picture at that time emerged, as if he saw Zhan Qi's stubborn and forbearant appearance.
There is a faint sympathy in my heart, the feeling of being excluded and isolated, just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable, even an adult, it is inevitable to collapse, let alone such a child.
Two or three years later, the little boy told the story after a leak, but the truth came too late. ”
Old Man Zhan sighed as he spoke, and out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Lin An'an's reaction, and then sat up straight again.
Zhan Qi deserves to be sympathized with when he was a child, but now he can't be forgiven.
Lin Anan knew the purpose of Old Man Zhan telling this story to himself, his face was silent, and he didn't make an evaluation in his mouth.
She even thought in her heart that it was because he was wronged too much when he was a child, that he developed a ruthless character like him.
The evil things he did to his family cannot be washed away.
"So, An'an, you can't listen to what others say about many things, and what most people agree with is not necessarily the truth. ”
Old Man Zhan saw what Lin An was thinking, sighed, and said earnestly, with a special meaning in his words.
"I know, I'll get to the bottom of it. ”
"It's not just that. ”
She looked up at him, furrowed her eyebrows, her expression calm, but her heart skipped a beat.
Thinking about the fact that he had found Aunt Xu not long ago, I wondered if he had found out.
Old Man Zhan just smiled kindly and didn't say much.
After a while, Zhan Qi came back and sat down at the table with a cold face, silent.
While eating, the old man Zhan talked to Lin Anan about some ordinary topics and asked about some trivial things in life.
When the meal was almost finished, he gave Lin Anan a look and asked her to avoid it for a while.
She looked at Zhan Qi, who was eating, and didn't seem to care much about what was happening next to him.
"It's so stuffy in the room, I go out to get some air. ”
She put down her chopsticks and got up, nodded to Old Man Zhan, and said hello.
"Stay safe. ”
Zhan Qi raised his head and admonished, seemingly just casually, and raised his head to meet Lin An'an's eyes.
She seemed to see a flash of concern in his eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, then nodded as if nothing had happened, and withdrew.
All of a sudden, there were only two people left, Zhan Qi and Old Man Zhan, and he ate silently without saying a word, but it seemed that the canteen didn't have any appetite.
"Since you don't want to explain more, don't blame others for misunderstanding. ”
As soon as the chopsticks in his hand were thrown, Old Man Zhan snorted angrily, looking really angry.
Zhan Qi also stopped his chopsticks, his eyes looked at the bowl, his expression was hidden in the shadows, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
After a long time, he opened his mouth as if to say something, and swallowed it back when it was due.
"An An's temper, you have always known it, it's like this when you're young, can you still change it for her?"
"Since you can't change it, you can only let her go everywhere, and now that she's pregnant again, you can't make her sad anymore.
