Chapter 1005: Undisguised indifference
Qin Si was a little startled, she remembered the scene where she and her deceased husband Liu Muchu met their parents for the first time, it was a very distant but very clear picture, but now it has long been a matter of fact, and she and Liu Muchu's family have already become enemies with many contradictions, and now looking back at the scene when the parents of the two sides met, it is inevitably a little ironic and ridiculous.
Qin Si was immersed in the good times of the past, compared to himself who was alone now, especially after experiencing such a painful and tortured thing, a sour feeling in his heart welled up, and he was a little emotional.
Liu Chen thought that his words had touched Qin Si, and hurriedly apologized: "What's wrong with you, did my words make you ...... Sorry ......"
Liu Chen's words pulled Qin Si back from that sad mood and unbearable memories, she reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes, squeezed out a smile and said: "It's okay, you can behave naturally, there is nothing to pay attention to, the most important thing is that the relationship between you and Xiaofei can be good, and the parents will bless and fulfill." ”
After speaking, Qin Si hurriedly lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, the bitter taste made the emotions on her face seem slightly more natural, but she deliberately showed generosity and blessings, and in the end, the feeling in her heart was still the most real, she still couldn't let go, she couldn't let go of the past, and she couldn't let go of the present.
Liu Chen's insight could naturally detect the inexplicable sadness in Qin Si's heart at the moment, and he didn't say it, but he knew that it was his words that touched Qin Si's distant memories, and he was very clear about the relationship between Qin Si and her father-in-law, as well as the husband who had passed away for a long time.
There is no way, many things have to be faced, there will be many obstacles during the period, especially psychological, but as long as they cross it, it will be a different situation, Liu Chen and Qin Si need to cross their psychological barriers, maybe the two of them need to know each other again, or just like they have never met.
In this world, there are always some people who meet and know each other wrongly, and this is the case with the two of them.
Liu Chen thanked him softly, and then asked, "By the way, when do you plan to go back to work?"
Qin Si's injuries have recovered well, and the old man has committed suicide, what he was worried about before did not happen, the stone in Liu Chen's heart was finally put down, and in the face of a frustrated relationship, the best way is to divert attention, for Qin Si, that is to re-devote himself to work.
Qin Si hadn't thought about this question, she was also very surprised that Liu Chen would ask this at this time, about work, Qin Si originally planned to give himself a vacation.
Years of struggle for power and intrigue made her physically and mentally exhausted, and the emotional road after meeting Liu Chen finally ended in loneliness, she even had an urge and thoughts to let go of everything, but it was still that sentence, she couldn't let go, she couldn't let go of everything in the past and present, she was used to carrying responsibilities and burdens, and she wouldn't be so easy to let go.
Liu Chen mentioned it in person, Qin Si also lowered his head and thought seriously for a while, and said, "It should be soon, the new project is about to start." ”
Liu Chen didn't just ask casually, he had his own intention in opening this topic, seeing that Qin Si did not resist and had a new project, he then asked: "Eh, how did you think about the things that you thought about last time?"
Qin Si looked up and asked in surprise, "What is it to consider?"
Seeing Qin Si's reaction like this, Liu Chen chuckled in his heart, a little cool, he blinked and replied: "It's the matter of investing in those projects in Ningzhou County that you asked Lang Song to consider before." ”
After Liu Chen's reminder, Qin Sicai finally remembered, to be honest, she had forgotten about this matter a long time ago, and then she had no contact with Lang Song for a while, because her main time and energy were on the side of Jiangxia, and Lang Song was still developing in the provincial capital, and she was still on Hu Bingcheng's side.
Qin Si was very sorry for Liu Chen's matter, she lowered her head and smiled awkwardly, and explained: "Eh, hehe, I have also considered this matter, but there are still many things that I don't know, when will you show me the complete investment plan." ”
If it was in the previous period, Qin Si would definitely actively contribute to this matter, but now that the relationship between her and Liu Chen has been determined, there is no further possibility, she will naturally be linked to the input-output ratio, whether this investment is worth it or not, she would think that it was an investment in Liu Chen, but now she knows very well that this is just an investment in a purely commercial sense.
Qin Si's euphemism, the meaning has also been clearly conveyed to Liu Chen, since it is a pure commercial investment behavior, it must be in accordance with the business rules, Liu Chen's heart is cold, but Qin Si's approach is understandable, even if she doesn't ask for it, she will take this step, after a pause for a few seconds, Liu Chen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you the complete investment plan tomorrow." ”
Qin Si regretted his behavior and attitude slightly, but he really made up his mind to do this, but he slowly calmed down, and finally wanted to return to a normal relationship and distance, this may be the so-called labor pain period, just pass it.
After comforting herself, Qin Si continued to bow her head and take a sip of coffee, this time she tasted it carefully, but it was not as bitter as before.
Liu Chen also lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, he didn't use a coffee spoon, but directly picked up the coffee cup and took a big sip, just like drinking water, from this point it can be seen that the two of them are two people with completely different personalities, and the details are particularly obvious.
Liu Chen didn't care that Qin Si looked at him with surprised eyes, he wiped his mouth and asked, "What about Lang Song, what does he mean?"
Qin Si shook his head: "I don't know about this, I haven't contacted him." ”
"Is he still messing with Hu Bingcheng?"
"I don't know. ”
Qin Si didn't know for two in a row, Liu Chen realized that the situation about Lang Song couldn't get an answer in Qin Si's mouth, but there was no way, if you want to start those projects in Ningzhou County, the fastest way is to get the support of Lang Song's side, after all, you have already said hello before.
For Qin Si's side, Liu Chen is not too worried, Qin Si's company is strong and has abundant funds, and he can transfer funds to invest in those projects in Ningzhou County at any time. As for Lang Song, he knew that Lang Song's financial strength was not as strong as Qin Si's, and he was under Hu Bingcheng's territory, so it was impossible for him to have too much room to play.
Liu Chen is already mentally prepared, if Lang Song's side does not get too much financial support, then only Qin Si and his own foundation will jointly invest, of course, this is the last plan, and it is naturally better to attract more investment.
Qin Si couldn't get the situation about Lang Song, so he could only take the initiative to call and contact him at that time, Liu Chen nodded slightly, in order to find a suitable topic, he asked again: "Your company has a new project, what kind of project is it?"
"Trade secrets. Qin Si coldly gave Liu Chen a reasonable reason and refused to answer.
When Liu Chen heard this, his heart was cold again, and after he was stunned for a few seconds, he still smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, yes, trade secrets, I shouldn't have asked." ”
Qin Si's attitude made Liu Chen's coffee invitation almost meaningless, Liu Chen also held back a little dissatisfaction in his heart, he picked up the cup and drank the cold coffee in the cup in one gulp, and then said with an excuse: "I'm done drinking, do you still want to refill the cup?"
Liu Chen deliberately said that he had finished drinking, and the question that followed actually didn't give Qin Si a choice, he wanted to take the initiative to end this coffee appointment, the mood and atmosphere on the scene were too depressing for him, and he wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"I don't drink anymore. Qin Si replied lightly, her words showed that she also understood what Liu Chen meant, she did not say "drink it", but said "don't drink", and she also deliberately said it to Liu Chen.
Liu Chen didn't have a special response to this, and shook it off in disappointment: "Then let's go." ”
Before Qin Si could get up, Liu Chen took the lead in getting up, the money for the coffee had already been paid, and he didn't need to pay for it, so he got up so quickly, with strong emotions, obviously venting his dissatisfaction with Qin Si.
Qin Si was stunned in her seat for a few seconds, she wondered if her attitude was a little excessive, and when she raised her head again, Liu Chen had already walked to the top of the stairs.
Qin Si hurriedly picked up his shoulder bag and got up to chase after him, hurriedly went downstairs on his high heels, and almost broke his foot at the end of the stairs, but Liu Chen didn't look back to take a second look.
Qin Si quickly followed out and came to the street, she shouted to Liu Chen, who was walking briskly with his head down, "Wait for me." ”
Liu Chen, who was walking forward quickly, suddenly stopped after hearing this sentence, he remembered that when he went to drink coffee before, he asked Qin Si to wait, Qin Si waited quietly by the flower bed, at this moment, he realized that his anger and dissatisfaction were vented a little too much, unreasonable and inappropriate.
Unexpectedly lost his temper with Qin Si so stingy, hehe, Liu Chen shook his head with a wry smile, and immediately turned around, and saw that Qin Si seemed to have broken his foot, standing there and squatting down.
This scene seemed to have a strong sense of impact, hitting Liu Chen's angry and self-blaming heart, and he immediately ran to Qin Si's front to inspect Qin Si's injury: "What's wrong with you, I've broken my foot, let me see." ”
Liu Chen didn't care about his relationship with Qin Si, and took it upon himself to help inspect it, he thought that Qin Si's broken foot was caused by his childish behavior, and he apologized while inspecting the injury: "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't be irresponsible to play with my temper, I'm sorry." ”
At this moment, Liu Chen was like a child who had done something wrong, Qin Si was very surprised and moved, and the self-blame that ignited in her heart gradually disappeared under Liu Chen's apology, as for the blame, she didn't have any meaning in this regard.
"It's okay, it's not your fault, it's my own accident, because of my shoes. Qin Si looked at Liu Chen's concern for himself, and finally took off the indifference that he had disguised for so long, as if he had returned to the beginning.
