Chapter 81: A sarcastic smile

Lin Zitan tried to calm himself and waited until all the guests had left one after another, and then politely said goodbye to Louis and his parents. Louis also graciously sent him to the door of the small reception room.

"Okay, we'll see you tomorrow. Louis said he would not go back to school until tomorrow, so Lin Zitan asked him to stay at the door of the small reception room, and walked out briskly with small steps. He was looking forward to seeing if he could see Elsa's shadow, and he always felt that when people were chatting with him just now, because of his bad words, he seemed to have aroused people's kindness.

It was almost half past nine in the evening, and the guests in the hall were almost gone, and occasionally one or two tables were slower, and they were already paying, so the exit of the restaurant was still a little crowded for a while.

Walking and walking, Lin Zitan's eyes were suddenly attracted by a familiar figure, Mike wore a gray suit, wearing a tie and an elite dress walking not far in front of Lin Zitan, followed by a tall Caucasian woman, with long hair in a golden shawl, and a short business skirt showing a capable figure.

Lin Zitan remembered that Li Manrui said that Mike had been on a business trip for the past few days and would not come back until Monday, and he felt angry at Mike's deliberate deception. He cautiously followed a few steps closer and saw Mike and the woman walking together on the escalator to the lower level of the mall.

Lin Zitan watched them go down, stood at the door of the restaurant and hesitated, staring closely at the backs of the two who left together, eager to poke a hole in Mike's back. At this moment, the woman suddenly turned her head and met Lin Zitan's eager and angry eyes for a moment, but then turned her gaze away.

Lin Zitan thought that she hadn't noticed her, but in the next second, the woman actually followed Mike's footsteps in the next step and reached out to hold Mike's arm. When Lin Zitan was shocked, the woman looked back inadvertently, and a faint, sarcastic smile rose at the corner of her mouth.

"MD, what does this woman mean? Does he know me? No, I've never seen this woman... Lin Zitan was stung by that smile, and he stood still and thought for a while, really unable to figure out the reason.

"Alas, Daniel, you haven't left yet?" Lin Zitan was about to take a few quick steps, and went down to the elevator to catch up with the couple of J and Y, but before he could open his legs, he was suddenly stopped by Louis, who came out last.

"Uh, I'm hesitating to take a stroll around this mall, hehe~" Lin Zitan hurriedly smiled.

"It's really lively here, but it's not early, remember to go back early~" Louis's father glanced at Lin Zitan and said seriously.

"Okay uncle, I know, I wish you a good night~" Lin Zitan secretly listened to the conversation between this Jew and another Jew when he was bored during the banquet, they seemed to be in investment banking, and Louis's father was still an executive of a big bank.

Louis and Lin Zitan exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then left with their parents. Lin Zitan was so delayed by them, it was completely impossible to catch up with Mike's figure, so he simply walked around this luxurious and gorgeous shopping mall, and finally walked to the subway entrance at the entrance of Central Park, and took the subway back to school.

Along the way, Lin Zitan was recalling the scene when he saw Mike just now, although the woman finally took Mike's arm defiantly, but Mike didn't seem to show special intimacy with her, and the woman's movements seemed to be a habit, and it seemed to be a kind of indifference, Lin Zitan was very confused, who is this woman?

。。。。。。

When Zhang Jing returned to the small courtyard he rented at night, he found that Joseph hadn't left yet, not only did he not leave, but he also specially helped him tidy up.

"Alas, you don't need to sort these out, the people from the housekeeping company will come to clean them early tomorrow morning~" Zhang Jing looked at Joseph as a good family man, with a white apron around his neck that he hadn't used for thousands of years, and plastic gloves on his hands.

"Hehe~ I'm just cleaning it casually, my house has been found, it's near the company, and I'll move there tomorrow!" Joseph said happily.

"Oh, that's good!" Zhang Jing thought to himself, why don't you move here today?

"I bought some groceries and bedding at the mall near here today... I don't know if I can trouble you to help me pull it over tomorrow. Joseph hesitated.

"Okay, the car key is there, you can put it in the car first, I have a class tomorrow morning, I will go to the company after the class, and I will pull it for you when the time comes." Zhang Jing pointed to the car keys on the shoe cabinet and replied lightly.

"Okay, I'll go pretend in a while, oh, by the way, have you eaten dinner?" Zhang Jing came back after sending Lin Zitan, so he didn't have time to eat at all, but seeing Joseph's eager appearance, thinking that he must not have eaten either, he said that it would be good to order a takeout to eat in a while.

"Uh, I ordered a pizza, it should be there in a few minutes, just in time for us to eat together. Joseph heard that Zhang Jing said that he hadn't eaten yet, and immediately said happily.

"Pizza, oh, okay!" Zhang Jing actually doesn't like to eat foreigners' pizza very much, it is dry and sour, and he always feels that the pizza he didn't eat in China tasted delicious, so Zhang Jing wouldn't use pizza to satisfy his hunger unless he had to, but since Joseph had already called, he didn't refuse.

During the meal, Joseph was eating pizza contentedly while drinking the Coke in his hand, enjoying it very much, Zhang Jing, who was not very interested in pizza, was unexpectedly aroused by his appetite, and ate two pieces of pizza in a row before stopping.

"Alas, you're not going to eat it?" Joseph saw that Zhang Jing had eaten two pieces and stood up and wanted to go upstairs, but couldn't help but speak.

"Yes, I'm full!" Zhang Jing glanced at him, feeling that today's Joseph was completely different from the cowering beggar Joseph he saw before, how to say it, as if he suddenly had vitality, vitality, and confidence.

"You know, I have a son who is about your age. When Zhang Jing's feet were about to step on the steps leading to the second floor, Joseph suddenly sighed.

Zhang Jing had already taken a step, turned around again, went to the refrigerator and took a bottle of Budweiser, thought about it, and took another bottle out. Zhang Jing picked up the bottle and opened one bottle for himself, and also opened the other bottle for Joseph, carried two bottles of beer to the table, pushed one bottle to Joseph, picked up the bottle and drank it himself, and sat down on the seat where he had just eaten, looking deaf and listening.

"Yes, I have a son, he used to be my pride, he was admitted to MIT with very good grades the year before last, amazing。。。 It's a pity that I haven't seen him since I went bankrupt!" Joseph said, picking up the beer in front of him and taking a sip of it.

"It's all my fault, because I didn't invest properly, so that my family wife was separated, and my son chose my wife when I divorced my wife, and I know that he hates me and hates my incompetence, so even if I run to see him, he doesn't want to see me. As he spoke, Joseph hung his head sadly, and the arm of his right hand blocked the pale face, and Zhang Jing could not see if he was crying.

"Do you only have one son?" Zhang Jing was silent for a while, and couldn't help but speak.

"No, of course not, I also have a daughter, my daughter is innocent, gentle and kind, and when her mother insisted on leaving me, she was the only one who chose to stay with me, my angelic daughter. As he spoke, Joseph's eyes suddenly shimmered with a soft light, as if it was this light that gave him the courage to continue living.

"Then where has she been now?" Zhang Jing asked strangely, after all, even Joseph himself has no fixed place to live now, where can his daughter be arranged by him!

"She's in my hometown, Georgia, and now she's living with my old mother. Joseph, who was asked, replied softly, and Zhang Jing clearly saw Joseph's eyes that shone with the light of hope, and he was full of sadness at the moment.

"I must get well and cheer up quickly, so that I can quickly bring my daughter to my side, and I must let her go to the best school and wear the most beautiful clothes, so that she can be the happiest girl in the world!" said Joseph in a loud and sonorous voice, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
