Chapter 10: The Seeds of Resentment
Lin Xi's living room is as empty as the balcony, with a wall-mounted 65-inch TV and a cushion. No sofas, no coffee tables.
She used the cushions as cushions, and soap operas were on the TV.
In the afternoon, Han Yuan also called her and sent a message asking her to come out for dinner, wanting to gossip about the questioning this morning.
She really didn't have much interest in refusing.
When the TV saw seven o'clock, she picked up her mobile phone and texted Wen Renjin back.
[I have an appointment, and I will have an appointment at a café tomorrow afternoon. 】
She made an appointment with him first, wanting to get back the 5% of the shares.
Lin Xi's biological mother, Qin Yulan, died of leukemia when she was in junior high school. Lin Zhengxiong's partner Qian Fen, who remarried her at the age of 18, Lin Xi couldn't remember her appearance at this time.
She didn't react much at the time, this was Lin Zhengxiong's business and had nothing to do with her. And it's nice to have someone to be with your father.
just coldly reminded him, "Remember to sign a prenuptial agreement." ”
She didn't know if Lin Zhengxiong was messing around outside when her mother was alive, and she was too young at the time.
Later, she didn't comment on the women he did.
Xu is really in love with Qian Fen, after marriage, Lin Zhengxiong increased his holdings of 10% of Langyi's shares, and he did not get Lin Xi's trust at that time but became the joint property of husband and wife.
Lin Xi, as a rich second generation who "doesn't learn and doesn't have skills", has no foothold to talk about it.
After the car accident, the property was divided, and the other 5% fell into the hands of Qian Fen's daughter Chen Shihan.
Wen Renjin's three words were enough to make Lin Xi irritable, and with Chen Shihan, she only had a burst of gagging.
A minute after the text message was sent, a call came from the other end, the phone vibrated on the floor, and Lin Xi stared at the screen until it turned black, without reaching out to touch it.
The screen lit up and went black, and it was black and bright, and Lin Xi didn't even touch it again. I opened my notebook and started searching for furniture on the Internet. Sleeping on a mattress is enough, and what she wants to buy most is a comfortable sofa, a sofa that is more comfortable than a bed to lie on.
After searching for nearly an hour, I finally fell in love with a three-seater indigo blue fabric sofa, and chose a brown leather single sofa to match. Make a note of the address of the furniture store and plan to check it out next week.
In a flash, there were five more missed calls on the phone. At this time, Han Yuan sent a message, and Lin Xi thought about it and called someone back.
"Are you okay?" Before Lin Xi could speak, Han Yuan asked first, "If you don't answer the phone all day, you won't be taken to the police station for questioning, right?"
"You think too much, so I briefly told the police about my personal situation, and then talked about your basic situation, I didn't know you well when I first met, so I told the truth. ”
Han Yuan's tone was quite excited, "Yes, yes, yes, just tell the truth, we also know what to say." The three police officers questioned us for almost half an hour in the morning, and I tried to ask them about the progress of the investigation, but they didn't ask anything. Either they do a good job of secrecy, or they really don't have a clue. "He looks like an agent, and he speaks the truth.
"Now it seems that the school leaders also know about this, and several of our roommates are very worried, and I originally wanted to make a long picture and send it to the circle of friends, but the school has to control the impact and not let it be sent. ”
"Oh yes, the police also asked us if you and Xiao Ran look alike, I just sent you a picture of her. ”
When Lin Xi heard this, he turned the phone to public and clicked on Han Yuan's WeChat dialog box.
Han Yuan on the other end of the phone was still chattering, "I really hope that nothing happens to her and that someone can find her as soon as possible." ”
Lin Xi clicked on the photo.
This is the first time she has "met" Song Xiaoran. The picture is like a group photo that has been screenshotted, the girl in the picture is black and straight, with a melon seed face, and a pair of apricot eyes are round. With one hand on his cheek, he took a cute selfie with the camera.
Lin Xi didn't think so.
"Wu You and I both guessed that it was very likely that she was abducted by her boyfriend, after all, when she came back that day to get her things, she said that she was going to move in with her boyfriend. He is the most suspicious, and Bacheng is the ghost of his boyfriend. ”
"Her boyfriend must be quite rich enough to send a driver to pick her up. You say, she couldn't have been tricked by a man into being sold into a ravine, right? Didn't the news always say that there were those human trafficking things!"
Han Yuan looked like a detective, and he was the head of the analysis on the other end of the phone.
"Trafficking female college students, not so. Lin Xi replied, "I feel that the abduction and trafficking in the news are all children and minors in the county, and the target of female college students studying in the city is too obvious." ”
"Who knows, it's not unusual to do anything these days. ”
Lin Xi was about to reply, but another call came from his mobile phone. Her conversation with Han Yuan was hastily concluded, and she made an appointment to discuss it again during class next week.
Looking at the three words "Wen Renjin", Lin Xi hesitated for a while and picked up the call, didn't say anything, and waited for the other side to speak first.
"Why don't you answer the phone. A clear male voice came from the other end of the phone, and I couldn't hear my emotions.
"The phone is on silent. ”
"Are you done with your work over there?" asked about the lie she told about dating someone.
Lin Xi paused for a second, "Oh, I'm not busy, I'm watching TV." "She didn't want to make up any more lies, she didn't hide it.
continued, "Don't expect me to go to the Tang Dynasty tonight, if you want to talk about business and find a daytime, I can go to the company to find you." Lin Xi spread out the words and said bluntly, "Besides, it is not appropriate to talk about such an important matter without Miss Chen being present." ”
The other end of the line chuckled, "My wife gave me full authority to handle it for her." ”
"Doesn't she have to sign?"
"There is a power of attorney. ”
Lin Xi was speechless, both sides were silent for a few seconds, Lin Xi took a deep breath, "Even if she is not present, I have to bring a lawyer, otherwise there is nothing to talk about." ”
On the other end of the phone, she was only playing tricks and changing to a coaxing tone, "Okay, promise you, I'll let her come when we talk about things." Before that, you'll meet me alone?"
Lin Xun sighed, this is not going back again.
"Mr. Wen, don't talk to me in this tone. She deliberately used "honorific titles" to alienate her, unwilling to call him by name, both sarcastic and indifferent, "You're not afraid that people will misunderstand me, I'm disgusting." ”
She took her phone away from her ear and was about to hang up.
The other end of the phone chuckled and said, "It's you who have a request for me, and the tone is still so impulsive." ”
Lin Xi's action of holding the mobile phone was in the air, but the mobile phone was taken back to his ear, and his tone slowed down, "It's okay to meet alone, you and Chen Shihan discuss the time to come out and meet together." ”
After hanging up Wen Renjin's phone, she walked to the balcony and lit a cigarette. The popping beads were pinched open with a "click", and the cool mint and blueberry flavor slid down my throat.
She used to just drink and smoke a cigarette or two, but lately she has been smoking a bit fiercely.
On the night of early autumn, the temperature in Nancheng is still hot and dry, but fortunately, the breeze is gentle tonight, and the people who blow it are very comfortable.
But Lin Xi's heart was uncomfortable, and he inexplicably blocked his thoughts in his heart.
Why did Wen Renjin get involved with Chen Shihan, and she didn't know a series of truths until a few years later.
Now it has become the seed of resentment, which is buried deeper and deeper.
Her eyes fell on the bustling crowd on the student street outside the community, the hustle and bustle that did not belong to her.
Her vision gradually blurred and staggered, and she remembered that at this time last year, at the door of the police station, she smoked her last cigarette, and her throat was not known whether it was blocked by emotion, or the uncomfortable smoke of tobacco, astringent and itchy, but her heart still couldn't be calm.
She was about to get up to see if there was a convenience store on the side of the road to buy cigarettes. A tall figure stepped out, almost blocking the light that had been shining at her earlier.
Lin Xi stopped his pace and looked sideways at him, the spotlight was reflected on his face, the side lines were clear and resolute, she heard the lighter "bang", leaving the light of the cigarette butt, flickering and dimming.
The sunglasses filter through which everything shines seems deeper and darker and more unreal.
"Handsome," she said, her voice hoarse, she cleared her throat, and the man looked at her, "Is there any more cigarettes?"
