The atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant, Xia Ling looked at the big boy in front of him who had grown up since he was a child, and fell into silence for a while.

Zhu Jia was not stupid, seeing that he didn't immediately deny it, he immediately figured out something, and his face gradually became stiff.

After a long while, he slowly lowered his head and said sullenly, "Uncle Cousin, I know that everyone has the right to pursue affection, if you really like Luo Sheng, I can't stop you from ......"

Speaking of this, he took a deep breath, raised his head, met his eyes directly, and said: "But I like Luo Sheng's heart, I won't lose to anyone in this world, I won't think that you are my cousin, and you will be cowardly if you are much more competitive than me." ”

Xia Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, stared at him for a while, and suddenly laughed, he walked over, rubbed his head a few times with his big palm, sighed and said: "What are you us, plastic uncle and nephew? Don't worry, I won't rob you, if you like it, Luo Sheng is such a good girl, don't be cheap to others." ”

Zhu Jia was stunned for a moment, and looked at him in a daze, as if he couldn't believe it, "...... Are you telling you really?

"Of course, I'm a middle-aged man, more than a dozen years older than Luo Sheng, not to mention two babies. Xia Ling put his arm around his shoulders and said half-jokingly, "The little girl is in her prime of life, and it is just right to be a young cow of the same age like you." Besides, Luo Sheng is also my son's great benefactor, how can I ruthlessly drag others on the road of stepmotherhood. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhu Jiaxin let go of most of his heart and hummed, "This is what you said, don't look back and don't admit it." ”

Xia Ling patted him on the shoulder, "Yes, I said it, just finished speaking." Don't be verbose, hurry up and take a bath and rest, and then let me catch you and stay up late, be careful that I tell your mother and let my sister-in-law annoy you. ”

Zhu Jia hummed a few words, obediently went back to the room, watching his back disappear behind the bedroom door, Xia Ling sighed secretly in his heart, just about to go to the balcony to smoke a cigarette to breathe, he saw more people in the corridor at some point.

Luo Weixi stood there quietly, looking at him, the expression on his face couldn't describe anything, faint, with a distant meaning.

Xia Ling paused and returned a gentle smile, "Ding Ding's homework is done?"

Luo Weixi shook his head, "No, I'll do the rest tomorrow." Maybe she played too much during the day, and I saw that she was sleepy, so I asked her to take a shower and rest first. ”

Xia Ling hummed and didn't ask anything more. Luo Weixi and her sister have a very similar personality, they are measured in their work, they know how to advance and retreat, they have a gentle and patient temper, and they are very relieved that their daughter will hand him over.

The two stood and chatted for a few words, then said goodnight to each other and prepared to go back to their respective rooms. Xia Ling thought of something, stopped Luo Weixi again, and asked, "At the beginning of next month, I will go on a business trip abroad with your sister for a month, do you know about this?"

Luo Weixi nodded, a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, "She told me that day." I think this is very good, my sister used to want to take the TOEFL to study abroad, but because she couldn't worry about me, so she gave up, and it was rare to have such an opportunity, and I was very happy for her. ”

The young man's warm and kind smile made Xia Ling's heart slightly moved, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his soft hair, and said softly: "This kind of opportunity, she will encounter a lot in the future, as long as she performs well enough, I will arrange for her to go there for special training." ”

Luo Weixi tilted his head sideways, thought about it carefully, and said hesitantly, "If it's too hard, don't do it......"

Xia Ling was a little surprised, "Why, do you want your sister to have a better future?"

"As long as she's happy, she can do anything. Luo Weixi smiled, "However, I still hope that my sister can live a relaxed and free life, if she sacrifices a lot of time and energy just to make money, I will do it in the future." ”

After a pause for a few seconds, he solemnly added: "In the future, I will earn a lot of money to support my sister, and I will never let her suffer at all, let alone be wronged at all." ”

Xia Ling heard some about the family history of the two siblings from Zhu Jiana before, and knew that they had lost their parents early and were fostered in a relative's house when they were very young, he thought that maybe the siblings had been dependent on each other since childhood, and it was not strange that the relationship was deeper than that in a normal family, so he smiled encouragingly: "Well, you are so smart and capable, I believe you will be very promising in the future." ”

Luo Weixi smiled in response and turned back to the room.

After closing the door, he sat down in his bed, quietly thinking about the conversation he had just overheard in the hallway.

He is not sluggish, Jia Ge likes his sister, he has felt it before, and he is not surprised by this, but Ding Ding Her father actually likes his sister too, which is very unexpected to him.

Although this can't be said to be good or bad, but since he knows it, should he report it to his sister?

After hesitating for a long time, Luo Weixi finally decided not to mention it first, looking at the words that Ding Ding's father said just now, he should have a good impression of his sister, but it is not enough to reach the part he wants to pursue, otherwise he would not be so generous and directly express his abandonment to Brother Jia.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help sighing, and he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in his heart.

In fact, he still prefers Ye Junyuan as his brother-in-law compared to Zhu Jia or Xia Ling, although that man always has a cold face with no expression, and he is also cold and cold to people, but it gives him a very reassuring and reliable feeling, as if as long as he is there, he will never have to worry about the sky falling.

For his sister's decision to give up, he was shocked more than regretful, although his sister said that it was because of low self-esteem and felt unworthy, but he always felt that things were not so simple, but there was no way to pursue the real answer, he didn't dare to ask more, he didn't want to see Luo Sheng's sad expression on his face, so he had to endure his doubts and didn't ask more.

The news that Luo Sheng was selected into the business trip group was soon reported, and the circle of colleagues exploded in an instant, saying everything openly and secretly, envy, jealousy, and more curiosity, I don't understand that Luo Sheng, as a newcomer, has not passed the three-month internship period, how can he eat big orders with the elites.

This project financing is the largest list this year, even a point commission is a lot of income, to really successfully talk down, not to mention the rich achievements of the project, but also to directly complete this year's performance, the year-end bonus does not have to worry about not coming up, the company is staring, no one does not want to participate in it.

However, high-value projects are often proportional to their complexity and difficulty, and those who are qualified to join the team, except for Smith's two assistants and the company's ever-winning elite backbones, ordinary employees can only watch from the side.

Because of this, many people have pink eye against Luo Sheng, but since this is the decision of the big boss, even if there is a big dissatisfaction, they can only slander it in their hearts, and the subtle relationship between Luo Sheng and Xia Ling that was boiling before has become even more reverie.

At noon that day, Luo Sheng came back from lunch outside, and when she passed by the front desk, Xiao Zhang stopped her footsteps, her chin was pressed towards a large cardboard box next to her, and she said without raising her head: "Your express." ”

Luo Sheng was stunned, she hadn't shopped online recently, who sent her something.

I took it and looked at it, the sender wrote Zhang Yushan's name, and her mind flashed, and she remembered that a few days ago, when she was talking to Zhang Yushan on the phone, she inadvertently mentioned the pork jerky in the snack shop near her alma mater.

Although she immediately said that she didn't need to, Zhang Yushan still sent a lot of them without hesitation.

Luo Sheng and Xiao Zhang took the scissors and unpacked the box, and sure enough, it was full of pork jerky, and the dates were all fresh, and the bags were neatly placed in the boxes.

Thinking that Xiao Zhang had helped him receive the courier, Luo Sheng grabbed a handful from it and put it in her hand, and said with a smile, "Give you a taste, this is from my friend, and the taste is okay." ”

Xiao Zhang glanced at it, the delicate willow eyebrows frowned, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, I never eat this pickled product, who knows how many preservatives are used in it." ”

Disgusted by the split, Luo Sheng smiled awkwardly, and it was hard to say anything. Since he knew that the other party didn't eat it, he was embarrassed to take it back, so he had to silently hold the box and return to his seat.

This scene happened to be seen by a passing colleague, and before the lunch break was over, he came over to talk to Luo Sheng, "Luo Sheng, don't care about Xiao Zhang's attitude, she is a little girl's heart attack, and she was stimulated by you, in fact, people are still okay." ”

Luo Sheng had already let go of this, and when this was mentioned, he couldn't help but wonder a little, "Actually, I don't know when I offended her, obviously when I first joined the company, she was quite enthusiastic about me......"

Seeing her serious distress, the colleague didn't seem to be pretending, so he smiled and said: "You have to gain and lose, since you have been favored by Mr. Xia, don't expect the women in the company who have a crush on Mr. Xia to give you a good color." ”

Luo Sheng's head was stunned, and his aura suddenly exploded, and he looked at the insightful eyes of his colleague before he asked in a daze, "Do you mean, Xiao Zhang also has a crush on Mr....... Xia?" Doesn't she have a boyfriend?"

She knew that many people in the company liked Xia Ling, but she didn't expect that even Xiao Zhang, who had a master, was moved by this boss.

The colleague shrugged his shoulders, seeing the usual taste, "What's this, what if you have a boyfriend, and it's not a husband! As long as she is not married, of course she has the right to choose a better one, besides, who can say anything about feelings?"

Luo Sheng fell silent, although she didn't agree with this point of view from the inside out, she didn't refute it out loud, because she felt that there was no need to waste arguing with people with different views.

The colleague chatted a few more words, nothing more than chatting about her business trip with the group next month, and at the end, she patted Luo Sheng's shoulder and said half-jokingly: "Luo Sheng, if you really become the boss of our company one day, you must bring us little transparent, and it is not in vain that we usually take care of you like this." ”

Her tone was light and pleasant, but Luo Sheng somehow heard the smell of yin and yang, and she didn't know what to say, so she simply lowered her head and remained silent.

The colleague was not surprised, and returned to his place after speaking.

After getting off work, Xia Ling came to find Luo Sheng to get off work, since the last time he made an agreement to go to his house three nights a week, he now comes to Luo Sheng more and more frequently, even if it is sometimes exceeded, as long as Luo Sheng does not show reluctance, he invites him with peace of mind.
