Chapter 62 - A Last Resort
Chapter 62 - A Last Resort
Chu Ce was a little melancholy, thinking of the rumors he had heard about Lin Zien recently, and he felt a little guilty again. It turns out that she is living so hard now, and she has never liked to show her face, and she has begun to appear on such occasions, probably to keep her job. It's just that, with her arrogant nature, can she stand this boring entertainment? blame herself for being useless back then, failing to protect her, what to do in the future, she is no longer allowed to plan herself, it seems that the plan must be advanced.
Surrounded by bright lights, although Lin Zien was not as hard as Chu Ce thought, he was also very tired, and thoughts continued to pop up in his mind, wanting to leave halfway. Avoiding Huo Jingchen's eyes in the hall, she pushed the door and walked to the small garden outside the banquet hall.
"Miss Lin, are you enjoying the snow alone?"
Lin Zien looked back slowly, and only after half a ring did he recognize who was greeting him.
"Isn't Miss Li also a person?"
"Yes, it seems that our tastes are the same. β
Lin Zien couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, "But I don't know what kind of taste makes Miss Li feel like this?"
touched a soft nail, Li Qiushui was not angry, and his tone was still unfazed, "Tacitly, isn't it?"
"Oh?" Lin Zien pressed his eyebrows and said helplessly, "I'm a relatively dull person, I don't know when I had such a tacit understanding with Miss Li?"
Li Qiushui was stunned, a little surprised that her oil and salt did not enter, and she no longer said bluntly, "Compared with my cousin Ruoshui, you are much smarter." β
"Yes, it turns out that Miss Li has always had the habit of 'talking to the object of suspicion'?" Lin Zien did not hide the ridicule in his tone, "Miss Li doesn't need to treat me as an imaginary enemy, I have no ambition for your target." β
"If we don't have ambition, we might be able to be friends, otherwise, I can only say sorry to Miss Lin, because the ending is already doomed, and we will be engaged soon. β
Lin Zien smiled disapprerovingly, said "congratulations" sincerely, and began to walk towards the corridor of the garden.
Looking at the slender back, Li Qiushui's deep eyes saw a trace of a plot that was gradually taking shape pass by.
"Zien. β
It's time to come, but you can't hide it. Lin Zien paused and saw Chu Ce coming towards him.
Under the light, Chu Ce looked at her in a silver-purple dress, with her black hair pulled high, so charming that she almost felt strange. The one in my memory is mostly refreshing and casual, chic as the wind...... "Are you here with my cousin?"
"Yes. Lin Zien did not hesitate to affirm, and then asked rhetorically, "Susan, I read that it was said on the news that you are going to have a wedding next month, and you should be by her side on an occasion like today." β
Chu Ce smiled abruptly, did God punish him for not protecting her back then? But when he wanted to break the kettle and save her, she appeared with his cousin, who was like a god in his mind. ββ¦β¦ The reason why I put off that wedding, from three years ago to now, is because the person I wanted, it was never Susan, you know...... Without you, everything means nothing to me. Although he had to compromise on the marriage three years ago to cover up the scandal, Susan was a stain on his life, and it was impossible for him to marry her, not to mention that he had always loved her.
"It turns out that Susan's fiancΓ© and Miss Lin are old friends?" In the shadow of the tree, Li Qiushui, who walked out and returned, wanted to smile or not, "The reunion of the old people should not be so bland." β
Chu Ce was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Lin Zien's calm eyebrows, he felt that he had to say something in this situation, but before he could speak, he heard Huo Jingchen's voice behind him, "Zien." β
Chu Cewan didn't expect his cousin Huo Jingchen to appear at this time, his expression stiffened, and his body retreated slightly unconsciously.
Huo Jingchen walked slowly, smiling, his eyes fell on Lin Zien, gentle as water, "It's snowing outside, you are wearing too little." β
As soon as Lin Zien saw Huo Jingchen appear, Li Qiushui immediately shot two icicles at him, only to feel so depressed that he couldn't breathe.
"Tired, aren't you?" Huo Jingchen put on the coat in his hand for her, his movements were natural and his tone was soft, as if Chu Ce and Li Qiushui next to him did not exist at all.
Lin Zien followed his words with an "um", and asked again, "Can I go?"
Huo Jingchen nodded, took her shoulders and walked towards the exit of the garden, Lin Zien subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he felt that that would make him hypocritical, so he endured it and did not resist anymore.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Li Qiushui couldn't help but scream, and there was something unbearable in his tone, "Miss Lin!"
"Miss Li, is there anything else?" Without waiting for Lin Zien to answer, Huo Jingchen turned his head sideways and asked in a light tone.
Under the light, Li Qiushui saw that Huo Jingchen was obviously a gentleman, but there was a sense of oppression that froze three feet, she couldn't help but be stunned, and her words couldn't help but soften a little.
"Oh, that's it, I'd like to talk to you about the collaboration ...... the project"
"Miss Li is there a mistake? The project has nothing to do with Miss Lin, she is my friend, not my secretary, if you want to talk about cooperation, go to my secretary to make an appointment, if there is nothing else, we will leave first." Huo Jingchen's cold and ruthless eyes seemed to say that he was not interested in wasting time with her, she liked to find trouble, so she waited for it to be boring.
Li Qiushui was extremely embarrassed, only to feel that her face was hot, and she saw the backs of the two disappear at the exit of the garden, the snowflakes were dense, and she only moved her steps when she was about to freeze, and when she saw Chu Ce, who was also frozen a few steps away, her mind moved, and she spoke in a tone, "Chu Ce, although I have a good relationship with Susan, but from the standpoint of love, I still want to remind you: being dumped is a sad thing, but the saddest thing is ...... I didn't express my mind correctly. β
Chu Ce was stunned for a moment, Li Qiushui's words seemed to have some truth, and his muddy mind was suddenly isolated from a clear side, since he couldn't forget it, then, it was ruined...... Will it change the ending?
On the return car, Huo Jingchen looked sideways at Lin Zien, who had not spoken a word since he got in the car, and asked gently, "Thank you so much tonight, but you don't seem to have eaten anything, there is a restaurant nearby that is very good, how about you go and eat a little?"
Lin Zien looked out the window, his eyes were a little cold, "No, it's not early, send me home." β
Huo Jingchen glanced at the time displayed on his watch, but it was only half past eight, and the reason why he left the scene early was because he felt that she didn't like that kind of occasion, and he didn't know what was going on in the garden, so he half-jokingly probed, "Do you think such an occasion is boring, so you regret agreeing to help?"
Lin Zien was still looking out the window, so his voice sounded a little fluctuating, "You think too much." β
"Is there any other appointment?"
Lin Zien was speechless, she couldn't say that it was because of Li Qiushui's words, but it was not a way to escape like this, so she had to divert the topic, "Where is there any date...... It's just that I'm going on a business trip the day after tomorrow, and I still have unsorted luggage. β
"Where are you going?"
"France. β
Huo Jingchen listened, looked at her silhouette, raised his eyebrows slightly, and showed a secret smile, "Oh, the day after tomorrow is Monday...... That's to be sorted out in advance. β
This winter, there is a lot of snow in the south of the Yangtze River, and within half an hour, there is a thin layer of snow, and on a cold night, there are few people and sparse cars, and the car soon arrived at the mouth of her alley.
Huo Jingchen insisted on sending her to the door, but she couldn't help it, so she had to follow him.
When he arrived at the door, Lin Zien took out the key to open the door, walked in the door and turned his head, "You drank a lot of alcohol at night, drunk driving on a snowy day is very dangerous, for safety reasons, let the driver come and take you back." β
Huo Jingchen's heartstrings moved slightly, nodded slightly, and said softly, "Okay, then, good night." β
When she got home, washed up, and lay down on the bed and was about to be confused, Lin Zien suddenly remembered that tomorrow was Huo Jingyan's birthday, she was very strange, for such a period of time, it seemed that she had never talked about something related to Huo Jingyan from Huo Jingchen's mouthβor, in fact, she remembered it wrong? Huo Jingchen didn't know that he knew Huo Jingyan? It seems that he had met at the entrance of the Midsummer Club, but why didn't he mention it?
After flipping her mind a few times, she suddenly picked up the phone and dialed Huo Jingyan's mobile phone.
"Zien?"
"Huo Jingyan, is it convenient for you to answer the phone now?"
"Convenient, what's wrong?" Huo Jingyan's voice seemed to be always so gentle.
Lin Zien sat up and asked with a lazy smile, "Do you remember the French restaurant we used to go to in the International Financial Center?"
"Remember, didn't you say it was too luxurious and didn't like it?"
"yes, but I found out there's Almas caviar. β
Huo Jingyan couldn't help but smile when she heard what she said so cute, "Almas caviar?
"Of course not, you had a friend on the day you went to Nepal...... Customer please. Lin Zien yawned and said lazily, "Tomorrow is your birthday, I'll invite you to dinner there tomorrow night." β
"Okay, that's settled. β
After hanging up the phone, Huo Jingyan no longer felt sleepy.
The 32-ounce Almas caviar at Park Hyatt costs more than $20,000 and is so rare that you have to book in advance to eat it.
His mind flipped for a while, and after all, he was not at ease, so he couldn't help but call out: "Go and ask right away, who ordered Almas caviar at Park Hyatt on the day I went to Nepal last time." β
The news came quickly, and that day, only one person had booked almas caviar there.
Looking at the name, he was stunned, but the expression on his face was instantly gloomy......
