Chapter 2 The road is narrow
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get in the way. Lin Zien spoke in an embarrassed nasal voice after crying.
"It's okay, are you okay?"
The cold and indifferent and lazy low male voice floated out of the completely fallen car window, like ripples on the tip of Lin Zien's cold heart, opening a circle of warmth.
But she didn't have the ability or want to remember the person who had given her a trace of inexplicable warmth after she was humiliated and abandoned, so she shook her head and wiped away her tears, and she started the car and hit the road again. At this moment, all she wanted was to hurry home and find out the admission letter from the University of Chicago who had already received the admission letter for the graduate school of the University of Chicago that she wanted to sacrifice for Chu Ce, whether it was to study abroad or heal her wounds, just to leave the city as soon as possible that would suffocate her for a minute longer.
"Big brother. As soon as Lin Zien's car drove over, Huo Jingyan, the second young man of the Huo family, who had a good dream in the back seat, asked drunkly, "What happened in front? Why did the car stop and not leave?"
Huo Jingchen, the eldest of the Huo family, rubbed his temples with his hands, and the platinum cuffs on his black shirt shone brightly under the light. "It's nothing, the recent financial turmoil has intensified, and the fund company that our group acquired in Chicago last year has lost so much money that I suddenly want to go over in person. ”
"You can go if you want, you're a flyer anyway. In the hundred-year-old Huo family, the second young master Huo Jingyan, who is the least good at and least likes business, muttered, but he didn't ask any more and just turned over and wanted to continue sleeping.
"The trip to Shanghai is canceled, send you home and I'll go to the airport right away. ”
"Go to the airport immediately?" Huo Jingyan was drunk, got up with a grunt, and asked, "Big brother, today is Ruoshui's 22nd birthday, why don't you go to Shanghai to celebrate her?"
"Chicago can't do without me. You and Ruoshui are more familiar than me, run for me tomorrow, she won't mind. ”
Seeing that the eldest brother said it as a matter of course, the alcohol and impatience made Huo Jingyan feel a headache, "Big brother, if Shui is my junior high school classmate, it is true, but she is also the future lady candidate that my mother likes for you, usually you are busy with work and cold and alienate her, but you can't let me give you gifts every birthday, right?"
Huo Jingchen held the steering wheel with both hands, his eyes fell on the front, watching Lin Zien's car turn at the fork in the road, his thin lips shallowly outlined a charming arc, and he did not answer.
Time, passing years, like arrows, like shuttles.
The ancients were sensual, and they could describe the time of day after day so elegantly.
After living for 25 years, Lin Zien's biggest realization is that you can't be too emotional.
As soon as you are emotional, life is not steady.
That's what she was able to do when she was broken up three years ago.
In the past few years after the breakup, her personality is very rational, it can be said that no one can let her try sensibility whether she is studying abroad or working after returning to China, and in her opinion, the ethereal sensibility is far less trustworthy than rationality. Seeing that she was about to rationally enter the ranks of leftover women, the people around her were in a hurry, but she was still very rational.
It's just that she never thought that she would meet Chu Ce again in the workplace after returning to China.
"Zien?"
walked into the hall on the first floor of the leading group that invited her company to participate in the audition, and greeted Chu Ce's surprise greeting.
Is this a narrow encounter?
Lin Zien pursed his lips, and just wanted to ignore it, but there was a ghostly shout from behind him, "Lin Zien?"
Is this a narrow road?
Sensuality wanted her to walk over without dust, but reason made her turn gracefully and greet politely, "Hi Susan, long time no see." ”
It is said that fire prevention, theft prevention and girlfriend prevention, she once scoffed at this statement, but as soon as Susan's girlfriend made a move, it made her uncomfortable, pure love for three years is not worth a night, until now, she can clearly remember everything that happened that night three years ago. Although she has completely let go of that relationship, that incident is always an indelible shame in her heart.
Susan's expression froze, and then she walked over with a surprised face, and sneered, "Zien, where have you been in the past three years? Are you hidden by some big boss Jinwu? Even if you are hidden and raised, you can't not contact us for three years, I miss you to death...... By the way, why did you show up alone today? Qiaochu is a new company jointly opened by my family and Chu Ce's family, do you have something to do here?"
Lin Zien listened to the incoherent shooting of the dark arrow in Susan's incoherent words, and was indifferent, at least compared to the emotional Chu Ce, she was very rational.
Rationality gave her a calm and calm bearing, and even at this moment, in the face of this ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend who had betrayed her, she could be so calm and light, even she herself was surprised, how could she be so rational?
"I'm afraid I'll scare you when half of a person appears. Speaking of this, she smiled and looked at the information in Yang's hand, "It's just a business to come here today, but I really didn't know that the Leader Group was opened by your family." ”
As soon as she heard that this poor ghost came to the door to ask for herself, Susan breathed a sigh of relief and went to pull Chu Ce's arm affectionately, but Chu Ce dodged away, she was not angry, and continued to shout, "Husband, all the companies that came to participate in the competition are waiting in the conference room, you can go and say hello first, Zien and I haven't seen me for a long time, I miss her too much, I want to chat with her again, and take her to the conference room directly after chatting, and I will arrange a grand reception banquet after the chat, let's talk about the old days." ”
Chu Ce saw that Lin Zien completely ignored himself like a transparent soul, and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, Su San secretly begged for nothing to say, and tried to move his legs that were about to take root and turned around.
"Zien," as soon as Chu Ce left, Susan's expression was the same as the two of them just now, with a cold face, close to Lin Zien's ear, and his voice was cruel, "I don't care what the purpose of your sudden appearance is, but there is one thing I think you should understand, Chu Ce is mine, and any woman who covets him will make her ruined! ”
"I understand that cooperation and affection are both two-way choices," Lin Zien first put the information in his hand into his bag, and then smiled at Susan, "Since we don't have any intention of cooperating now, then I won't visit your conference room, you stay, we don't have to meet again." ”
"Don't you have to meet again?" Susan raised her eyebrows, looked Lin Zien's dress up and down with undisguised eyes, and after evaluating herself as an ordinary office worker, her voice was disdainful, "It's really beautiful, it's just pretending to leave now, and kneeling behind my back to beg Chu Ce in private." ”
Lin Zien seemed to hear some ridiculous words, and a sneer appeared in his indifferent and shallow eyes, "Susan, I have been a college classmate for four years, even if you don't know how soft your knees are, you should know how hard my knees are, not to mention that I have never had the habit of kneeling." ”
As soon as these words fell, Susan's body stiffened. She fell into it from the first time she saw Chu Ce in her freshman year, in order to get Chu Ce, she used thirty-six tricks in turns, and she couldn't even remember how many times she used the action of 'kneeling', but this experience has become a secret past with her becoming a quasi-young grandmother of the Chu family, no one dared to mention it for so many years, but now she was poked by her subordinate Lin Zien with a knife, it was really ......
Her face changed for a while before she smiled suspiciously, "Zien, you are still so arrogant." At the beginning, I just fell in love with your arrogance, so I dared to cook mature rice with Chu Ce first and then force you to quit Chengquan, but classmates, if you want to be a leftover girl who no one cares about now, it is better to kneel and beg me to introduce you to a few rich and handsome people in my circle, so that you can save your age and run out to make hard-earned money. ”
"Forget it! If you can be worthy of me, the rich and handsome Buddha who fought the leftover Buddha, you must be beyond your reach. After saying these domineering words, Lin Zien turned around and left.
Susan was so angry that she ran out of words. For so many years, she had always thought that she had won, but today when she saw Lin Zien's expression after she suddenly appeared, her heart was suddenly extremely resentful, this poor slut who only had a pair of sharp teeth left, made her insecure from beginning to end.
