Chapter 9: Acknowledgments
Inside the Yin family's single-family villa.
Yin Xinyan rubbed her sleepy eyes and crawled out of the warm quilt, pulled her slippers and slowly paced to the window, pushed open the window, took a deep breath of the damp and cold air outside the house, and the whole person suddenly felt much more energetic.
Outside the house, the rain was murmuring, and the raindrops fell on a pot of ficus leaves placed under the windowsill, and then rolled down the dark green leaves, and fell on the grass, moistening all the flowers and trees in the yard very fairly.
Yin Xinyan looked at the rain outside the window in a daze, feeling a little uneasy.
At last night's celebration banquet, she somehow lost her temper all of a sudden, and everyone didn't have a good time.
In this way, Lin Wenxuan and Qiao Mingjue won't be angry with her, right?
It's not the point, the point is, how the hell did she get home last night?
Thinking of this, Yin Xinyan really didn't dare to think about it anymore, in case she was drunk and fell asleep in the KTV, and finally the waiter inside found her mobile phone and called her father, then she would not be able to eat and walk around.
The Yin family is a well-known family in Bihu City, although Yin Xinyan is a child born with a golden key that everyone envies, but the hardships she has suffered since she was a child are something that many ordinary children have never felt.
Yin Shengjie attaches great importance to family rules, and in order to cultivate an excellent daughter, he does not hesitate to use old-fashioned family methods to serve.
Other people's children have a happy childhood, but Yin Xinyan does not, her childhood, the most, is a shadow.
Taking a deep breath, Yin Xinyan tried to get rid of the unhappy past in her mind, washed up hastily, and planned to go downstairs to find something to eat to cushion her stomach.
It's already past eight o'clock in the morning, and the Yin family's breakfast time has long ended, and the servants at home are afraid of Yin Shengjie and are very serious about doing things, so they will definitely not leave her any breakfast.
I don't know if Dad is going to work today?
Yin Xinyan carefully opened the door and walked out, muttering in her heart.
Yin Shengjie never allowed Yin Xinyan to eat snacks and snacks during non-meal time, in order to let Yin Xinyan develop a good habit of eating on time, he instructed the servants at home to watch Yin Xinyan very closely and never allow her to eat any more food because of her greed.
It's like today, if you wake up late and don't eat breakfast, then you will be hungry until noon.
But as Yin Xinyan grew up, the maids at home gradually didn't care about her so widely, as long as Yin Shengjie was not at home, they never cared that Yin Xinyan wanted to eat during non-meal time.
Yin Xinyan held her breath, crept into the kitchen, and pulled out a box of biscuits from the bottom cabinet.
As soon as I stuffed the biscuits into my mouth, there was a sound of footsteps in the living room, not far from the kitchen, followed by the sound of reading a newspaper.
Yin Xinyan's heart tightened, and she almost choked on the biscuit, so she hurriedly picked up a glass of water and swallowed the biscuit in her mouth as fast as possible.
The movement in the living room, she is very familiar, this is her father's voice!
Sure enough, Yin Shengjie said without raising his head while reading the newspaper: "Don't hide in the kitchen, if you are hungry, ask someone to heat you a bowl of preserved egg and lean porridge in the morning, the taste of biscuits is so strong, do you think I don't know what you're doing?"
Yin Xinyan looked helplessly at the biscuit box she was holding in her hand and sighed.
She just ate a biscuit, it's not enough to stuff her teeth, Yin Shengjie's nose is not so smart, right?
Could it be that someone is tipping off the news?
Yin Xinyan sullenly put the biscuits back in their place, if someone reported the news, at least there must be people around, but from the time she left the room to the kitchen, there was really no one to touch.
Yin Xinyan slowly walked to Yin Shengjie's side, with a flattering smile on her face: "Dad, good morning!"
"It's not early! Come, sit down, give me a reasonable explanation for what happened last night. ”
Yin Shengjie put down the newspaper in his hand, motioned for Yin Xinyan to sit down beside him, and then immediately instructed someone to give Yin Xinyan hot porridge.
Yin Xinyan's heart warmed, and she sat down next to Yin Shengjie.
Although Yin Shengjie began to interrogate her about last night with a serious face, from the time she got up to the present, Yin Shengjie did not say a word of blame, and even took the initiative to ask someone to prepare a bowl of porridge for her, which made Yin Xinyan extremely moved.
Anyway, Dad still cares about her and cares about her.
But care is concern, and she still has to find a way to solve this difficult situation in front of her.
"As you know, Xuanxuan became the deputy director of the company, and her colleagues went out to celebrate together, and I also followed, and I was so happy to have fun that I accidentally drank too much. Yin Xinyan wrung her fingers uneasily, and her voice was very soft.
Yin Shengjie raised his eyebrows, "It's that simple, I remember last night, Ming Jue, the kid didn't say that to me." ”
"Mingjue, has he ever contacted you on the phone?" Yin Xinyan was stunned.
"Call Xinyan, I said are you really confused or are you pretending to be confused with me? You were drunk last night, it was Mingjue who sent you back, you hugged people and didn't let go, no one complained, find time another day, you have to thank people!"
Listening to Yin Shengjie's description, Yin Xinyan could imagine the scene of last night, and her face turned red in an instant.
She actually hugged Qiao Mingjue and refused to let go?!
It seems that what Dad said is right, she really has to find time to explain it to Qiao Mingjue, otherwise it will be bad if there is any misunderstanding in the future.
"Ming Jue told me last night that you were kind, in order to help your good girlfriend who can't drink alcohol, you drank too much, and specially advised me not to lose my temper with you, don't be too harsh on you. This kid is so careful, and he is eager to learn, it would be great if he was the son-in-law of our family. ”
"Dad, you don't know that Mingjue and Xuanxuan have been together for so many years......
"They have been together for so many years, do you dare to say that you don't have him in your heart at all?" Yin Shengjie picked up the newspaper again, turned his head and looked at the expression on Yin Xinyan's face beside him, looking like he had already seen through everything.
Yin Xinyan blushed and lowered her head, "Dad, don't make fun of your daughter, Mingjue won't like me." ”
"Look at your shy appearance, do you feel so embarrassed to like someone? Besides, you haven't tried, how can you know that he doesn't like you at all? Dad doesn't want you to ruin other people's feelings, he just wants you to find time to make everything clear to him, let him understand your heart for him, and give him a chance to choose, isn't that good?"
"That...... Dad, I suddenly remembered that I still have something, I'll go back to the room first!"
Yin Xinyan stood up in a panic and hurriedly ran towards the bedroom, her heartbeat gradually accelerating.
She likes Qiao Mingjue's matter, Lin Wenxuan doesn't know, Qiao Mingjue naturally doesn't know, this is a secret in her heart.
Looking at the happy expression on Qiao Mingjue and Lin Wenxuan's face when they were together, Yin Xinyan was also very happy for him in her heart.
In order to allow Qiao Mingjue to have a better development, Yin Xinyan secretly begged Yin Shengjie at home and recruited him to work in Ruisheng, because of his excellent performance and determination to work hard, Yin Shengjie also slowly appreciated and valued him.
It was from that time that Yin Shengjie knew that his daughter had fallen in love with a boy who didn't like her.
But Yin Xinyan did all this behind Qiao Mingjue's back, and she didn't allow her father to say it, so Qiao Mingjue is still in the dark.
Yin Xinyan never expected him to know all this, and she didn't want to destroy his self-confidence.
The maid brought the porridge over, Yin Shengjie turned his head to look at Yin Xinyan's room, and smiled helplessly: "Put the porridge on the table first, and when she is hungry, she will come out to eat by herself." ”
In the room, Yin Xinyan pressed her back against the door, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her heart.
When a heart gradually calmed down, Yin Xinyan walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, and called Qiao Mingjue without hesitation.
The phone was quickly connected, and Qiao Mingjue's voice was a little alienated: "Hey, Xinyan." ”
"Mingjue, I'm sorry, I didn't disturb your work by calling you at this time, right?" Yin Xinyan smiled.
"No, it's Saturday and I don't have to go to work. ”
Yin Xinyan immediately reacted, today is Saturday, no wonder Yin Shengjie is at home, so she has been speculating in her heart for a long time.
"You called me, is there something wrong?" After hearing a response, Qiao Mingjue frowned.
Yin Xinyan hurriedly replied: "That...... My dad told me everything about last night, and he didn't blame me or scold me, thank you very much! Do you have time in the evening? I want to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude. ”
"Don't thank me, this is all Xuanxuan told me to do, there is no need to eat, we should keep a proper distance in the future. ”
Qiao Mingjue's words undoubtedly poured a basin of cold water on Yin Xinyan's head, and the pain hit the bottom of her heart.
She has liked him since she was in college, this feeling has been hidden in her heart for so many years, and the relationship between the two has always been a friend, and she will not complain about anything, but she never thought that one day, he would want to distance himself from her.
What's more, it was all fine last night, and now suddenly saying this, what happened?
Yin Xinyan asked suspiciously: "Why, is it because of what happened last night, are you angry with me?"
"It seems that you really don't remember what happened when you got drunk...... Xinyan, you are a good girl, you are beautiful, your family is good, and your work is so good, there will be many people who are really good to you, I am not worthy of your liking. ”
"What are you talking about? Did I say something last night that I shouldn't have said?"
Qiao Mingjue's words were confused, Yin Xinyan's heart was pounding, and she always felt that something was not quite right.
Qiao Mingjue hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Last night, on the way I sent you home, you said that you liked me for many years......"
Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Yin Xinyan felt that the world was quiet for a moment, so quiet that she could clearly hear her heartbeat and breathing.
"You believe what I say when I'm drunk? This is just gibberish, how can I like you!"
Forcibly enduring the bursts of tearing pain coming from her heart, Yin Xinyan pretended to be relaxed and denied the feelings in her heart in a joking tone.
"What you said is true, you really don't like me?" Qiao Mingjue still maintained a skeptical attitude.
"Really! Think about it yourself, I knew you before Xuanxuan, if I liked you, how could I not say it? Okay! Don't think too much, I don't want to ruin the relationship between the few of us because of my drunken nonsense. ”
Tears began to roll in her eyes, and Yin Xinyan tried her best to control the tremor of her voice and try her best to convince Qiao Mingjue.
"Okay, I believe you, then I'll wait for your news in the evening. ”
After Qiao Mingjue finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and did not suspect anything anymore, and agreed to have dinner together in the evening.
The phone was slowly taken away from her ear, the hand holding the phone fell weakly, Yin Xinyan lowered her head, and her eyes began to redden.
A warm tear ran down his cheek and slipped silently......
