Part II: Chapter 21

Welcome to Guanshu Network:

Lin Shengjie's car was parked outside the design institute, looking at the beautifully packaged box happily, while waiting for Zhu Xiaolan to go downstairs.

Zhu Xiaolan walked over slowly, with timidity and impulsiveness in her heart. She smiled timidly at Lin Shengjie with her lips in her mouth, and said, "Where did my mother let you take her today?"

Lin Shengjie stretched out his hand to pull the seat belt for Zhu Xiaolan, Zhu Xiaolan shrank back, and felt that she was too stingy, and then smiled: "You are so good, my mother rarely invites people to dinner, what are you doing?"

"I took her to various real estate projects to take a look, and she said that she was going to buy you a house!" Lin Shengjie smiled, "I want to give you a home!"

Zhu Xiaolan remembered her mother's harshness in the past, a little sad, but she didn't know why she was a little happy. To her, in addition to being a mother, her mother is also a shackle, restricting everything she has.

"This is for you, see if you like it?" Lin Shengjie pulled out a small plastic bag, Zhu Xiaolan curiously took out two boxes, and a faint Zen fragrance seeped out. The long one contained thin sticks of incense, and the other square box contained a thin chain. The chain is silver, and a blue cloisonnΓ© pendant is hung, which is very simple. Zhu Xiaolan picked up the chain with her hand, looked at the fine carving on the pendant, and smiled slightly.

Lin Shengjie moved the car, and Zhu Xiaolan didn't speak all the way, only kept looking at the chain to the sun. Her pale face was whiter in the sun, and she could almost see the shallow fluff trembling in the air. He said, "You like it so much?"

Zhu Xiaolan nodded violently, "I like it very much!" Actually, she really hasn't received a serious gift, this feeling is very fresh, "You also bought it for my mother?" She saw that Lin Shengjie had a larger box in his hand.

"yes!"

When the two arrived home, they smelled the strong aroma of food. Wang Guixiang rolled up her sleeves and watched the two people enter the door, and said with a smile: "I'm back, you can eat after setting up the dishes and chopsticks!"

Zhu Xiaolan hurriedly put down her bag and went to the kitchen to help. Lin Shengjie was about to go, but was pushed out of the kitchen by Wang Guixiang.

Wang Guixiang looked at her daughter and said, "I'll ask him some questions later." Don't talk nonsense!"

"Mom, what else do you want to ask? You have been bothering people for so long today, and you haven't finished asking?" Zhu Xiaolan was a little weak, she was powerless and not ready to resist her mother's restraint on her, but she was a little uncomfortable watching her mother treat Lin Shengjie with such an attitude.

Wang Guixiang snorted in his nose. He neatly wiped the table shiny, and put the dishes on the table one by one. "Xiaolin, come over for dinner!" Wang Guixiang greeted in a brisk voice.

Lin Shengjie came in with a small bag and said, "Auntie, I really worked hard for you today, this is a gift for you!" Lin Shengjie said very sincerely, looked at the local vegetables on the table and praised it greatly.

Wang Guixiang wiped her hands clean, took the bag, took out the box inside and opened it. Stunned for a moment and then laughed, "You really have a heart!"

Lin Shengjie sat down the two and said, "In the past, I went to visit the silver jewelry store. ....saw a silver Buddha statue, and then I remembered to give one to my aunt!"

Wang Guixiang took out a small Buddha statue. Will be a grip. Her fingers slid over the smooth lines of the statue, feeling the delicate texture in her hands. Said: "Auntie is not polite to accept it! Okay, okay, eat!"

Zhu Xiaolan glanced at her mother, as if she was very happy, expecting her to remember the good of others.

"Xiaolin, last time I heard you talk about your parents, I said, are you going to live with your parents when you get married?" Wang Guixiang carefully placed the statue and turned her head to ask.

Lin Shengjie was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "I am an only child, and of course my parents live with me." ”

Wang Guixiang blinked her eyes and said, "The old and the young live together, and it is easy to have contradictions! You see that I am just this one daughter, and I don't quarrel every day!"

Lin Shengjie looked at Wang Guixiang's face, and looked at Zhu Xiaolan's helpless look, and understood what she meant, is she just asking for a single marriage after marriage? But this mother's hand is inevitably stretched a little longer, and this is not talking about marriage at all!

Wang Guixiang saw that Lin Shengjie stopped talking, and smiled and beckoned the two to eat and eat. After eating for a while, he said: "Xiaolin people are so handsome, and their work is not bad, I'm afraid that someone will introduce you to someone every day, right?"

Zhu Xiaolan couldn't help but look at her mother, and gently touched her mother under the table with her hand. Wang Guixiang didn't care, and said: "Xiaolan is tightly restrained by me, if you don't understand anything, you have to teach her more!"

Lin Shengjie groaned, looking at Wang Guixiang with a smile, as if the words he said were really light and injure. He paused for a moment and said, "Well, someone has introduced me! However, because I was busy with work, I pushed it!"

Zhu Xiaolan thought of the woman who made Lin Shengjie lose control, he had always been a rational and mature image in front of her, but once he touched the woman, it seemed that all the disguises had disappeared. Zhu Xiaolan was a little jealous, she said, "Well, I haven't heard you talk about it!"

Lin Shengjie looked at Zhu Xiaolan, her eyes only looked at the dishes on the table, and she didn't dare to look at him. He suddenly felt a little funny, she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, so she said: "Auntie knows that when she works at work, she always meets enthusiastic people, and when she hears that she is not married, she will introduce her to someone." It's all a joke, and no one will take it to heart, so ah, the only one who really wants to introduce me to someone is Aunt Chen!"

Wang Guixiang nodded, "Xiaolan has a twisted temperament, you are older than him, let her do more!"

Lin Shengjie nodded, he knew that Aunt Jie was testing herself to treat Zhu Xiaolan well. He understood, but he was still a little uncomfortable.

The three of them finished eating with their own thoughts, sat down for a while, and Lin Shengjie was about to leave.

Zhu Xiaolan sent Lin Shengjie downstairs, and when she saw that he was not as relaxed as before, she said worriedly: "You...... Angry?"

Lin Shengjie turned his head to look at Zhu Xiaolan, "Well, it's not!"

Zhu Xiaolan knows Lin Shengjie a little now, when he is in a good mood, his whole face is smiling, and the atmosphere of his whole body is very relaxed. It makes the people around you feel very comfortable, but when you are in a bad mood and your face is tight, it will make the people around you feel depressed. She was also an unusually sensitive person, and said, "My mother is like this." Don't take it to heart. ”

Lin Shengjie looked at Zhu Xiaolan with an apologetic expression, and remembered the previous one again. This one is really sensible and much easier to get along with. So he smiled: "No, I'm just a little tired, and I'm worried about the bidding place!"

Zhu Xiaolan was relieved when she saw him smile, and said as she walked: "I have heard everything the director said." said that there were too many people involved in that project!" After speaking, he looked at Lin Shengjie and said, "Are you really confident?"

"I can't say how sure I am, but I've checked all the preparations and done everything I can. People do their best, the rest is luck!" Lin Shengjie looked around, found a place to sit down, took out a cigarette and lit it, "This is the only way to work now, not only to run the business." You have to do cashiering, you have to do design, and occasionally you have to manage the construction site. Where is the boss, it's clearly a miscellaneous!"

"Tired?"

"Let's not talk about physical tiredness. The main thing is that I am tired. Lin Shengjie smiled. "Screening for possible projects and then putting in the effort to follow up. The final outcome is not yet known. Every month, when it comes to salary, I think, if only I was working for someone else, I don't have to worry about these problems, as long as I do my part, I can get money with peace of mind!"

Zhu Xiaolan smiled, as if she was like this.

"When I first came out, I was in contact with the relationship on the spot, and at most I was provided with some information, which could not play a decisive role. If you want to get in touch with the upper echelons, you have to continue to work hard!" Lin Shengjie smiled, "It's also annoying to tell you this, right?"

"Nope. That ......"

"What do you want to ask?"

Zhu Xiaolan was a little embarrassed, "Do you still like that?"

Lin Shengjie took a deep breath and slowly exhaled his cigarette, "I can't say it, it's been so long!"

"My mother doesn't like half-hearted people! I don't like it either!" Zhu Xiaolan lowered her head and kicked the small stone on the ground, "Although my mother said something that made you unhappy, she only asked you about those places because she tried to accept you, so she ......" Zhu Xiaolan blushed slightly, "If you still like others, I can't continue to get along with you." ”

Lin Shengjie's fingers trembled, and the long soot fell into fly ash, staining his dark pants, gray and white, he reached out and patted it, and said, "You ......"

"Actually, it's all my own thoughts. You used to say that you wanted to be with me, I was not very happy in my heart, I felt that the two of us had different concepts, but then I contacted you, and I felt that you were not bad, and my mother also thought you were good. That's why I want to know what you think, and if you still like someone else and you want to talk to me about getting married, it's despicable. Zhu Xiaolan looked at Lin Shengjie's speechless appearance, and said a little sadly: "You still like her, right? I haven't been in love, but I see that many people have been in love, I know." ”

"Xiaolan!" Lin Shengjie called out helplessly.

Zhu Xiaolan looked up at the gray sky and said, "I actually really want to fall in love once." ”

Lin Shengjie felt that his body was slightly cold, and he stood up a little irritably and sat down again.

Zhu Xiaolan smiled, "Isn't it hypocritical to say this now? Everyone in our family is weird, right? Mom has treated you as a son-in-law, and your daughter is still thinking about this problem with you!"

"No, no!" Lin Shengjie hurriedly denied it, and said: "Actually, I know the meaning of what Auntie said, and she is also reminding me of this problem!"

"Mom is like this, because I divorced my father, so I think men are not very reliable!" Zhu Xiaolan said embarrassedly: "Because you look very similar to Dad! ”

Lin Shengjie smiled: "I'm not your father!"

"I know!" Zhu Xiaolan also smiled, "I also think it's funny, every time I see a man, I can't help but take it out and compare it with my father." ”

Lin Shengjie sat next to her, "I'm taking advantage, like your father?"

"It's kind of like that!"

Lin Shengjie touched his eyes, he doesn't wear eyes on weekdays, only when he works, "Xiaolan, I wear glasses!"

Zhu Xiaolan blushed slightly, how did he know about his quirk?

"Aunt Chen told me, saying that you used this excuse to reject many designers in the courtyard!" Lin Shengjie took out another cigarette, and Zhu Xiaolan hurriedly said: "Don't smoke, it smells bad!"

"Alas, you just asked me that question, I'm a little annoyed!" Lin Shengjie put back his cigarette, "I can't tell how I feel, it's complicated." Do you know that when a person is bitten by a dog, the next time they see a dog, they will still subconsciously have a little heart palpitations? I probably feel like that!"

"I don't think so!" Zhu Xiaolan retorted, "You obviously just ...... Loved it!"

Lin Shengjie couldn't cry or laugh.

Zhu Xiaolan said: "I know what you think, did you make a fish!"

Lin Shengjie reached out and patted Zhu Xiaolan's head, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Zhu Xiaolan suddenly got a little angry, "That's it, don't mention marriage until I think you still like her!"

Lin Shengjie looked at Zhu Xiaolan's serious face, a little trance, he felt that the fate in this world was really wonderful, what would happen if he met Zhu Xiaolan first? At that time, he still had more enthusiasm and a lot of feelings, which could respond to Zhu Xiaolan's so-called love; but if they really met at that time, he would not have been hurt, and he would have noticed the kindness of such a woman?

"Okay!" Lin Shengjie agreed, at least this time, he knew to cherish.
