Chapter 893: Negotiation
As soon as he opened the door, the cold air attacked him head-on, so cold that Xu Ruoxing was suffocated.
He closed the door, changed his slippers at the entrance, and walked down the couch step by step.
All the curtains were drawn, even if it was still evening, the afterglow of the sunset could still be sprinkled into the house, but because of the heavy curtains, the whole room was still dark, giving people a gloomy feeling.
On the coffee table in front of Xu Ruoxing, there was a round ashtray, a very ordinary ashtray, which didn't look special at all, but the only difference was that the ashtray was stuffed with cigarette butts, large and small, crowded next to each other, and it was a different brand of cigarette butts, and even the coffee table was covered with traces of cigarette ash, which seemed to have not been cleaned for a long time.
The smell of e-liquid filled the air, cold mixed with dampness, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Since Xu Ruoxing came in, he has been sitting motionless on the sofa, clasping his hands around his chest, closing his eyes and thinking deeply, like a sculpture, as if he was entangled by some troubles, and could not be freed.
Time passed little by little, until the clock on the wall pointed to eight, Xu Ruoxing suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were like torches, staring straight ahead.
At that moment, as if he had made up his mind, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, flipped out Jiang Lin's phone, and pressed the dial button without hesitation.
Jiang Lin's mobile phone ringtone came from the earpiece, and Xu Ruoxing suddenly felt that his whole person had settled down, as if everything had returned to calm.
"Hey?" was Jiang Lin's voice.
Xu Ruoxing put his mobile phone to his ear and said, "I want to see you, right away." ”
Half an hour later, Xu Ruoxing took a taxi to a café, it was time to eat, there was no one in the café, and as far as the eye could see, the whole café was empty.
Xu Ruoxing found a place near the corner and sat down, curled up, as if he wanted to shrink his whole body into it, trying to minimize his sense of existence.
When Jiang Lin didn't come, Xu Ruoxing sat in one position all the time, no one knew what he was thinking, and no one knew how long he was going to sit.
Until Jiang Lin appeared, he hurriedly came to Xu Ruoxing and sat down, and said, "I have to go to a meeting soon, what do you have to say quickly, my time is very tight." ”
Xu Ruoxing slowly raised his head, but he didn't say a word, just stared at Jiang Lin, looking inexplicable.
Jiang Lin also noticed Xu Ruoxing's strange appearance, and his brows furrowed slightly, "What do you want to do, can't you tell me clearly on the phone, you have to ask me out." ”
Now that Jiang Lin is the leader, how heavy the burden on his body is, I'm afraid Xu Ruoxing won't understand it at all, and he doesn't plan to talk nonsense.
Xu Ruoxing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and slowly lowered his eyes, "I found Su Ranling." ”
Jiang Lin's face suddenly turned happy, and he hurriedly asked, "What about that child, is there a three- or four-year-old child by her side?" ”
Xu Ruoxing nodded, which was regarded as answering Jiang Lin's question.
Jiang Lin suddenly relaxed, leaned on the cushions of the sofa with his hands on his chest, and looked at Xu Ruoxing's gaze a little strange, "So what?"
He was waiting for Xu Ruoxing to speak in person.
Xu Ruoxing raised his head in some surprise, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Lin, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you call you after you asked me to find Su Ranling!"
"Yes, that's what I said, but after you let me come, was it just to tell me the news?" Jiang Lin let out a hint of mockery in his laughter.
Xu Ruoxing felt that his dignity had been trampled on, especially the smile on Jiang Lin's face, which looked particularly harsh.
"What do you mean!"
Jiang Lin hurriedly stretched out his hand and pressed down, "It's not interesting, it's just a joke, don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong." ”
Seeing that Xu Ruoxing's emotions gradually calmed down, Jiang Lin regained his serious expression and said directly: "My time is limited, and I won't delay time with you, as long as you send that child to me, I will immediately ask Old Man Zhang to withdraw the charges against Su Ranling, this deal is a good deal, right?"
After speaking, Jiang Lin got up and prepared to pack up his things and leave.
Xu Ruoxing raised his head in surprise, "You asked me to send that child to you?"
"Isn't this a normal thing? The news is provided by you, you have to do it to the end, after all, you will get a bonus of five million, and then you and Su Ranling will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you can live a little easier." ”
Five million is indeed a lot of money, if after getting this money, he will take Su Ranling back to his hometown together, buy a house, and then open a shop, and live a simple and happy life...... It's just more than enough.
Xu Ruoqing couldn't help but fall into his own fantasies, fantasizing about his and Su Ranling's happy life.
There is no need for Jiang Lin to say any more superfluous words, he can also guess from Xu Ruoxing's almost crazy expression, sneering and sneering, Jiang Lin turned around and walked out.
"I'm always waiting for your call, available 24 hours a day. ”
At that moment, Xu Ruoxing seemed to have fallen under a spell, and decided in his heart that he must take the extra child away from Su Ranling, no matter how reluctant she was, she must not let that child delay Su Ranling any longer!
Su Ranling had already bathed An An, and when the two of them were playing in bed, suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door, Su Ranling's heart suddenly sank, and he looked at the door with some concern.
At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door, which made Su Ranling have a very bad premonition, after all, there have been frequent accidents recently, and she feels more and more that the person who came is not good.
Cautiously came to the gate, Su Ranling hesitated to open the door, but when she looked back, she found An An leaning on the bedroom door frame and looking at herself, so frightened that she waved her hand at An An again and again.
"Go back to your room and close the door. ”
An An reluctantly closed the door, but took the opportunity to leave a small slit, staring at the door with wide eyes.
Su Ranling took two steps to the gate and asked cautiously, "Who?"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Ruoxing's voice sounded outside, "Ling'er, it's me, open the door." ”
It turned out to be Xu Ruoxing, but on this big night, Su Ranling still felt a little uncomfortable, hesitated for a moment, and there was a rapid knock outside the door, Su Ranling made up her mind and reached out to open the door.
Xu Ruoxing was out of breath and seemed to be rushing over, but when his eyes fell on Su Ranling's body, he suddenly felt his breath suffocated.
