Chapter 33 Blood is thicker than water

Yan Yidong has been depressed since he came back in the afternoon, several plans have been revised back and forth several times, he knows that he has no intention of working, but he has to force himself to work, and finally it took nearly 8 hours to complete, such work efficiency is something he has never had. Weakly closed the computer, turned around and looked out the window, which was a scene of heavy snowfall.

He looked at the window for a moment, and after a while he took another cigarette from the cigarette case next to the computer, and then quickly lit it, and took a sharp puff, and the little spark immediately brightened, and he flicked the ash into the ashtray next to the cigarette case, where there were already many cigarette butts. He took another deep breath of smoke, and a wisp of green smoke slowly rose upward, and then slowly swallowed up by the air.

I got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down, the road surface had gradually begun to whiten, and the cold street lamps emitted a faint light, as if it was about to be unable to withstand this extremely cold night. In the past few years, he has not seen snow in a foreign country, but tonight's snow will make him unable to sleep. All thoughts and memories swept in uncontrolled as if they had met the light of the electric flint......

After the acquisition of Lin Jiang Hotel, although Gu Group also sent two executives to share some work, Lin Jiang still did many things himself, and he often left work late recently because of reading various data and reports.

The driver Xiao Han has been following him for more than ten years, and he can't bear to see him tired like this, "Mr. Lin, in fact, there are some things that I shouldn't say, but I think you should not be so tired." ”

Lin Jiang sat in the back row, took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose with his fingers before putting them back on, he sighed tiredly before he said slowly: "Xiao Han, do you think I'm a lot older." ”

"No, Mr. Lin, I didn't mean that. Xiao Han glanced at the rearview mirror and said apologetically.

"Of course I know you don't mean that, in fact, I think I'm old, and now that the hotel has been acquired by the Gu family, in fact, I can take a long vacation, and I don't need to fight so hard. Lin Jiang turned his head sideways and looked out of the car window, the road was already white, snowflakes were swept into the wind and danced, and some were blown over and stuck to the window glass. "Now the hotel is my only spiritual sustenance, hope ......," he continued.

He wanted to say that he hoped that his son would come back one day, that he could forgive him, and that even if he didn't go home, he would come to the hotel, and if he stayed here every day, maybe he would be able to run into him.

Seeing Lin Jiang's lonely face, Xiao Han knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he didn't say anything more, just continued to drive seriously.

It's been almost five years since my son left, and it was the same snowy night. When he came back from the hotel, as soon as he entered the house, he saw his wife Su Xiuzhen sitting on the sofa and losing her temper, and his son Lin Xi kneeling on the other side of the sofa. There is no need to guess that he knows that it must be for the girl again, and the quarrels between their mother and son have been constant for most of the past six months. Su Xiuzhen continued: "Don't beg me for her anymore, it's impossible for me to agree." ”

"Why?" Lin Xi asked with a hoarse voice.

"She doesn't deserve it. Su Xiuzhen said three words fiercely, picked up the white porcelain teacup on the coffee table and took a sip of water, looking at the appearance of her son in front of her and feeling distressed and angry, she eased her mood and wanted to help her son up, her tone was much better than just now, and even pleaded, "Lin Xi, you have been separated from her for almost half a year, why are you still thinking about her, you don't agree to the marriage of the An family, and your mother doesn't force you anymore, as long as you don't mention that girl, whatever you ask, your mother will promise you well." ”

Lin Xi insisted on refusing to get up and said lightly: "Where do I have any other requirements, if I have to choose, then go abroad to study." ”

"Go abroad?" Su Xiuzhen pulled out a tissue to wipe her tears, she didn't expect her son to make such a request.

Lin Jiang walked up to Su Xiuzhen, patted her shoulder gently, helped Lin Xi up again, and said, "Have you thought about it?"

"Well, I'm going to study abroad, only then can I forget everything. His tone suddenly became firm.

"Well, now that you've made up your mind, we've got your back. Lin Jiang understands his wife, and no one can change what she decides, and now that her son is willing to go abroad to study, it may not be a good thing.

It was snowing on the day Lin Xi went abroad, Lin Jiang and Su Xiuzhen watched their son go through the security check, Su Xiuzhen watched her son's back disappear with tears in her eyes, and she didn't wait for her son to look back at her in the end......

When the car was about to arrive at the door of the house, Xiao Han saw that there seemed to be a person standing in the snowstorm, and when he slowly drove the car in, the back was indeed very similar to a person.

"Mr. Lin, look, is it ...... standing at the door?"

"Lin Xi!" Before Lin Jiang could wait for Xiao Han's words to fall, he confirmed that the back was his son. He hurriedly got out of the car, ignored the wind and snow and trotted forward, stopped at a distance of about half a meter from the person, and shouted in a suppressed voice: "Lin Xi!"

Yan Yidong seemed to come back to his senses in contemplation, he turned around and looked, the street lamp at the door of the house was just in the middle of the two, he saw clearly the person who was half a meter away from him, and soon his eyes were a little evasive, not only did he not make any response, but he was about to leave.

Lin Jiang stepped forward and hurriedly grabbed him, "You are Lin Xi, yes, you are my son, no matter what you become, I can recognize you, since you are back, go home." Lin Jiang's tone has always been very soft, he wants to keep his son, but he is afraid that being too emotional will cause the opposite effect.

Xiao Han took an umbrella from the car and held it between the two. Only then did he see Lin Xi's appearance clearly, and he was shocked, it turned out that those news were true.

Su Xiuzhen heard that her son was coming home, and she was going to sleep, so she hurriedly got out of bed, and went downstairs without worrying about putting on thick clothes.

"Lin Xi?!" Su Xiuzhen froze at the corner of the stairs. She looked at the man sitting on the sofa, a completely unfamiliar face. She hurried down the stairs and over to the couch, saying in disbelief, "What's going on?"

"There was a little car accident a few years ago. Yan Yidong said lightly.

"Car accident?" Su Xiuzhen's tears couldn't hold back anymore, she sat on the sofa all of a sudden, and after a while, she remembered to touch her son's face with her hand, but Yan Yidong deliberately dodged back, so her hand stopped in front of his eyes, and seemed to be trembling.

Lin Jiang handed her a cup of hot water, "You see that our son is back now, we should be happy, and the unhappiness of the past will be over." He turned his head to look at his son in front of him, his eyes were full of guilt and pleading, and he grabbed his son's hand, "From now on, our family will always be together." ”

Yan Yidong pulled his hand back a little uncomfortably, "I only returned to China this time because of work, and I have to go back again after a while." ”

"What, do you want to leave again?" Su Xiuzhen had tears in her eyes, looking at her son's new face and feeling pain in her heart.

Yan Yidong looked at his parents in front of him, it was only five years, but they were much older, he couldn't bear to say anything, but he didn't want to let himself stay here for too long, so he had to say that he still had a job today, and he had to go back to the hotel first, so he left in a hurry.

Lin Jiang and Su Xiuzhen braved the wind and snow to stand outside the door until the taillights of his car disappeared into the cold and snowy night, Yan Yidong's car finally drove out of the community, and the two figures could no longer be seen in the rearview mirror.

He had originally planned to go back and ask about the money, she knew Jingya, and giving that money was equivalent to humiliating her, he had already given her enough pain, and in the end he had to suffer such humiliation.

But the moment he saw them, he was so speechless that he could not say anything, his father's temples were gray, and his mother's wrinkles were already crawling on her forehead. Back then, he thought that he could find a way to contact Jingya after going abroad, but who knew that things were not what he imagined. Later, he swore a ruthless oath to cut off relations with them, but now he finds that he still can't do it, after all, it is a family relationship that blood is thicker than water, how can he say that he can break it.

Li Xiaoxiao came to find Jingya, but because it was snowing at night, she didn't go home. The two ate hot pot and watched a movie at home, and the snow still didn't stop after the movie, so they went to the balcony to watch the snow again.

"He came to me. Jingya held a cup of hot water in both hands, and the heat rushed to her face.

"Lin Xi. Li Xiaoxiao was not surprised.

"Hmm. ”

"No matter what he says, you have to remember that you have already put on Gu Yunfan's engagement ring. Don't shake anymore, you can't repeat the mistakes of the past, strengthen your heart. ”

"Don't worry, I know all of this. ”

"It's good to know. ”

The two stood on the balcony and watched the snow fall endlessly, "When will this snow stop?" Xiaoxiao looked into the distance a little wistfully, and muttered such a sentence. Her current expression was something that Jing Ya rarely saw. Jingya didn't know what to say for a while, so she said, "It's too cold, let's go in." ”

The next day, because it was a weekend, both of them wanted to have a good night's sleep, so they turned off their phones and turned off the alarm clock, but they were woken up by the doorbell.

Jingya was a little confused after opening the door, she didn't know the person outside the door at all, "Who are you looking for?"

The man smiled and said, "Miss Bai, I'm Du Xiao, do you remember?" Du Xiao said and picked up an oversized packaging box beside him, "This is a wedding dress specially ordered for you, I hope you like it." ”

"Wedding dress?" Jing Ya remembered.

"That's right, your boyfriend Mr. Gu has communicated with our designer many times, and the general manager has designed it for you according to his wishes, do you want to take a look?"

"Wedding dress!" Li Xiaoxiao came over at some point, she was obviously more surprised than Jingya's reaction, "Okay, take it in and open it." ”

Du Xiao smiled and carried the box into the room, she opened the pink and purple ribbon, and the three words "Bai Jingya" were written in lilac artistic font in the center of the white box. After opening the lid, there was a snow-white wedding dress inside, Du Xiao carefully unfolded it on the sofa, and introduced the designer's design concept, "Of course, in addition to what I just said, this time the designer also added some new elements to the skirt part, of course, this is also what Mr. Gu meant, the stars and moon here represent a lifetime of protection." ”

"Why not the one I tried last time. Jingya remembered trying on a wedding dress at that time.

"Mr. Gu said, I want to design it exclusively for you. Then he said: "Generally, the cost of finding our designers to design alone is quite high, and it seems that Mr. Gu really loves you." ”

"Wow, this is too beautiful, Gu Yunfan is really romantic. Li Xiaoxiao looked at the wedding dress intently.

After Du Xiao left, Jingya took out her mobile phone and just turned it on, Gu Yunfan's phone called.

"I just received my wedding dress. Jingya whispered.

"Do you like it?" said a gentle voice on the phone.

"Yes!" she smiled lightly.

"It's good if you like it, my uncle will return to China today, and I'll pick up the airport in a while, so I won't come over to accompany you, okay?"

"It's okay, you're busy, I'll be with Xiaoxiao. Then he hurriedly said, "Be careful when driving!"

"Okay, I'll contact you later. ”
