All Chapters_Chapter 278 I Love You, Even If It's Down to the Dust (5)
It's another snowy day, and this year's snow in Kyoto, country F, seems to be particularly large, and since the first snow falls, it's snowy every three or five days, and a lot of time, it's a long time at once.
In the suburbs dozens of kilometers away from Kyoto, there were no people in the first place, and on snowy days, it was even more lonely, especially outside the gate of the detention center, when it was close to noon, there were no other vehicles except for a black Wrangler parked there.
Li Zheng sat in the driver's seat a little decadently, the four windows were wide open, his left hand was casually on the window, his slender and bony fingertips, holding a cigarette that was about to burn to the end, his right hand, holding his mobile phone, and the mobile phone screen that was lit up at the moment was a photo of Xie Xiaolin eating with oil and two spicy lips that were about to turn into two sausages, a little funny.
Li Zheng clearly remembered that it was also a snowy day, and it was at night that the stupid girl quietly ran outside the Zhangtai Hall and waited for more than an hour, until he finished his work and called to ask where she was, she told him that she was outside the Zhangtai Palace.
On such a cold day, she was like a little wild cat alone, hiding under the high wall of the Zhangtai Hall without a word, and when he ran out, she was so cold that her hands and feet were numb.
He asked her why she was so stupid and ran to wait for him outside the Zhangtai Palace, and she grinned and said that she could see him sooner.
He listened, and felt the urge to smoke her.
That night, he accompanied her to Malatang, and when she got carried away, he secretly took this photo, and then they went back to his apartment........
The cold wind blew off the last section of the cigarette on his left fingertip, and the red spark, in the cold wind, was brighter, and the cigarette burned out, burning the skin of his fingers, but he didn't feel it at all.......... Until, in my ears, there was a familiar but unfamiliar soft soft call.
"Brother Zheng. β
Suddenly came back to his senses, and at the same time as his eyes turned to the direction where the voice came from, Li Zheng locked his phone and put it in the pocket of his pants.
Zheng Xinyi was like a poor cold bird, rubbing her painful and red hands, standing by the door of the passenger seat, looking at Li Zheng in the car, extremely aggrieved and with strong accusations, "Brother Zheng, what are you doing, I came all the way and called you several times, didn't you hear it?"
When Zheng Xinyi spoke, Li Zheng's left hand shook, and the cigarette butts on his fingertips fell and fell into the snow.
On the skin of the index finger and middle finger, a slight pain came, Li Zheng glanced at it, and then realized that his fingertips were burned.
"Brother Zheng......."
Seeing that Li Zheng still ignored himself, or even listened to himself, Zheng Xinyi was angry and anxious, and stomped his feet and snorted.
"Get in the car. β
Li Zheng glanced at Zheng Xinyi, said lightly, and then started the car directly.
Seeing that Li Zheng had no intention of pushing the car door for herself, Zheng Xinyi frowned and said a cold "hum" in her heart, opened the car door by herself, got into the car, and then pulled the seat belt by herself and buckled it with a 'pop'.
Li Zheng didn't look at her, only closed the window, stepped on the accelerator, drove the car onto the highway, pressed over the double yellow line, turned the car, and drove towards Kyoto.
Zheng Xinyi turned her head sideways, and seeing that Li Zheng had no intention of talking to herself, she couldn't help but stare at him angrily.
"Brother Zheng, are you still angry with me?"
She offended the president's wife, that is, Li Zheng's boss lady, and Li Zheng was angry and seemed to be understandable.
Li Zheng looked at the road ahead for a moment, and replied in a voice without any emotion, "No." β
"Then why do you keep a straight face and don't take the initiative to talk to me?" Zheng Xinyi paused, and then said, "Is it that the president's wife said anything bad about you in front of Mr. President, or deliberately gave you small shoes to wear to embarrass you?"
"Xin Yi, what are you talking nonsense?" Li Zheng's face sank.
He glanced sideways at Zheng Xinyi, with obvious displeasure and even anger in his eyes, and his voice was even more stern and undisguised, "Mrs. President is not the person you think she is, don't speculate about her and charge her indiscriminately! She is Mrs. President, not for you or I to discuss and speculate casually." β
"What do you mean? I just care about you, just say a casual word, can you scold me like this?" Saying that, Zheng Xinyi's eyes were red, and she complained aggrievedly, "I stayed in it for fifteen days, and you didn't come to see me once, and you didn't even have a relationship to take care of me, do you know what kind of life I live in it every day?"
As she spoke, Zheng Xinyi's tears fell big and big, and the more she fell, the more fierce she became, and she continued to accuse loudly, "Now, I just came out, not only do you not care about me, but you also scold me as soon as you open your mouth, blaming me for not being me! Are you still not my fiancΓ©, do you still love me at all?"
Li Zheng listened to Zheng Xinyi's sobbing and felt that his head was big.
He stepped on the brakes, parked the car on the side of the road, hung neutral, pulled the handbrake, took a deep breath, and then, pulling out a cigarette, lighting another cigarette, and inhaling hard.
Zheng Xinyi looked at Li Zheng's series of actions, a little confused, and forgot to speak for a while.
She has been away for three years, it is undeniable that in the past three years, Li Zheng has become more and more mature and handsome, more and more manly, perhaps because he has been with Mr. President for a long time, Li Zheng's gestures have been infected with Mr. President's charm.
Half-lowering the car window, Li Zheng slowly exhaled the blue and white smoke from his mouth.
Now, he finally understood more deeply why Tang Su was so obsessed with the taste of cigarettes during the more than half a year that Lin Ziyi disappeared.
Because when you have a large empty piece in your heart, and you must keep yourself awake, it seems that only cigarettes can fill the empty piece of your heart a little.
"If you don't want to marry me, it's too late to regret it now. After a while, Li Zheng restrained the anger on his body and said exceptionally calmly.
Indeed, at the age of twenty-nine, he had been by Tang Su's side for a long time, and naturally, he was infected with the breath on Tang Su's body.
"What do you mean?" Zheng Xinyi's eyes widened in disbelief and looked at Li Zheng in a daze, "You mean, don't you want to marry me, don't you want to marry me?"
Li Zheng frowned, didn't speak, and took another puff of cigarette.
Seeing that Li Zheng was silent again, Zheng Xinyi became even more anxious, "Why are you unwilling to marry me? Is it because I offended the president's wife? Or is it because of that Xie Xiaolin?"
Saying that, Zheng Xinyi sneered, "Don't think I don't know, a year after I left, you got involved with that woman named Xie Xiaolin!"
As soon as Xie Xiaolin was mentioned, Zheng Xinyi's face was full of contempt and disdain.
That Xie Xiaolin doesn't look in the mirror, what is it, what was born, thinking that if he hooked up with a man with those two foxes and charms, he could lock a man for a lifetime, and he didn't know how many men he ......... "I have been!"
"Enough!"
Before the words "on" could be spoken, Zheng Xinyi's voice was cut off by Li Zheng.
Li Zheng's voice was too big and too harsh, which made Zheng Xinyi tremble, looked at the angry Li Zheng in a daze, and immediately silenced.
Li Zheng took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the anger and irritation surging in his chest, and said in a deep voice, "Xie Xiaolin is the best friend of the president's wife, when you doubt Xie Xiaolin's character and humiliate her, remember to think about what the president's wife will react to if she hears these words." β
β......... Me!"
Zheng Xinyi trembled again, she was so quick just now that she almost forgot the scene she saw outside the restaurant last time when she pulled Li Zheng to accompany her shopping.
"Brother Zheng, I didn't mean to, I just ........" said, Zheng Xinyi began to sobble again, "I'm just afraid that you suddenly don't want me and ignore me anymore." β
"Xinyi, why did you leave back then, you know it yourself, you don't need me to remind you again. Li Zheng completely ignored the crying Zheng Xinyi, and continued to speak indifferently like a stranger, "Now, I don't know what the reason is why you suddenly ran back and said that you want to marry me........."
The word 'marriage' made Li Zheng's eyes suddenly a little pantothenic, and before he spoke, he was stuck in his throat for a while, unable to get out, and a certain position in his heart seemed to be stabbed by a sharp point, and it was a little difficult to breathe in pain.
Because of these two words, not long ago, he wanted to promise Xie Xiaolin.
β........... However, since I said that I want to marry me, I will definitely marry you, so you don't have to think about it, let alone worry or suspect anything. β
"Brother Zheng!" Zheng Xinyi listened to Li Zheng's words, and was instantly satisfied, stopped her tears, stretched out her hands, and hugged Li Zheng's arm flatteringly, and said with a blank eye, "You really will marry me no matter what you want, and you won't leave me alone, right?"
Li Zheng said "um" and nodded, with a heavy responsibility in his voice.
"Sit down! Auntie and my parents are still waiting for you at home, if there is something, we will go back and talk about it." β
"Good. β
..................................................................
Lin Ziyi didn't have classes in the morning for several days, so in the past few days, Lin Ziyi would personally make lunch at noon, take it to Zhangtai Palace, and after eating lunch with Tang Su, she would go to the business school or do something else.
At noon on Thursday, Lin Ziyi still appeared in the Zhangtai Palace, but it was not Li Zheng who picked her up downstairs in the past few days, but Qin Shuo.
If Li Zheng was not there for a day, it would be normal, but if he was not there for a few days in a row, it did make Lin Ziyi a little curious, but he didn't ask Qin Shuo.
It wasn't until she and Tang Su were about to finish eating together that she remembered that she hadn't seen Li Zheng in the past few days, and asked casually, "What about Adjutant Li?"
Tang Su put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, took out a tissue, wiped the corners of his mouth, and then, his hand reached out to Lin Ziyi's mouth again, and began to wipe Lin Ziyi with the same paper towel he used.
Lin Ziyi wanted to take it and wipe it himself, but this was stopped by his other big hand.
While gently and carefully wiping the corners of Lin Ziyi's mouth, he said casually, "He's on marriage leave!"
- Marriage leave.
I don't know why, hearing this news, Lin Ziyi's heart was very uncomfortable, as if a big stone was suddenly pressed on his chest.
"Is it to marry Zheng Xinyi?" Lin Ziyi blurted out.
However, after saying that, Lin Ziyi felt that he was asking a very stupid question, which was very redundant, and he had the urge to slap himself.
"I don't know, I didn't care. When the words fell, Tang Su seemed to remember something again, took his hand, threw the napkin in his hand into the paper basket, and then narrowed a pair of good-looking ink eyes slightly, stared at Lin Ziyi and said, "How do you know so clearly? Do you know that Zheng Xinyi?"
"No! I don't know, I don't know, but when I heard it before, I heard Xiaolin mention it. "I was worried that Tang Su would know what happened in Gongyue Tower last time, so Lin Ziyi smiled and sloppily eyes, in order to divert the man's attention, she immediately changed her words and said, "Li Zhengdu is on marriage leave, when can you also take marriage leave?"
The man's deep eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly lit up with a smile, and the gaze that fell on Lin Ziyi's small face began to become scorching, "Do you want me to take marriage leave? Now!
Lin Ziyi understood the deep meaning of the man's words, his ears were hot, and he immediately lowered his head and leaned over to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and said while cleaning up, "No, I'll just ask casually, I don't let you take marriage leave now." β
Tang Su didn't care if Lin Ziyi was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, his big palm clasped her slender waist, and directly buckled her into his arms, his long fingers picked up her chin, his eyes stared at her more and more hotly, and he said neatly, "If you want, I can rest now." β
Lin Ziyi glanced at him, slapped his hand away, and continued to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, "I'm just asking in passing, don't take it too seriously." β
Tang Su, ".........."
Women are fickle creatures!
............................................
On the bus to the business school, Lin Ziyi thought that Li Zheng had completely abandoned Xie Xiaolin and married Zheng Xinyi like this, and she felt bad in her heart, not to mention that Xie Xiaolin and Li Zheng were together, most of them were because of her.
Thinking of Xie Xiaolin at this moment, she was pregnant with a child in a foreign country, and when she was sad, she didn't even have a shoulder to lean on, and suddenly she felt sorry for her, although she was pregnant unmarried, but at least at that time, there was a father who loved her so much, at least she didn't need to bear all the pressure alone, someone covered all the wind and rain for her.
Looking at the time, now, it was more than seven o'clock in the morning in country Y, Lin Ziyi took out his mobile phone and dialed Xie Xiaolin's number.
"Morning, Xiaolin. β
"What's early, isn't it afternoon in China now?" Xie Xiaolin on the other end of the phone was eating breakfast, and her speech was a little slurred.
Lin Ziyi smiled, and she could still hear Xie Xiaolin's heartless voice, so she was much more relieved.
"Well, indeed, I just finished lunch and now I'm going to business school. β
"Alas, you said that you are a dignified president's wife, and you go to school every day to make a lot of fun, isn't it obvious that you are putting a burden on others!"
"Is there one?" Lin Ziyi smiled, "I'm very close to the people and very kind, okay, my classmates basically don't treat me as the president's wife." β
"It's because you feel good about yourself, and even if others are dissatisfied with you, they don't dare to say it to your face. Xie Xiaolin continued to damage Lin Ziyi.
Lin Ziyi smiled again, and then asked, "How about my goddaughter? You didn't abuse her, did you?"
"Because Mao is a daughter, can't he be a son?" Xie Xiaolin on the other end continued to eat breakfast in a big gulp while chatting with Lin Ziyi.
Lin Ziyi smiled, "But I prefer to be a daughter, what should I do?"
"If you want a daughter, find the president to give birth to yourself, don't beat my idea, I just want to have a son. β
"Why? Is it because the brook is so cute and irritates you deeply?"
"Cut!" Xie Xiaolin sneered disapprehantly, "It's Li Zheng's bastard who has stimulated me deeply, I want to give birth to a son and tell him that when he grows up, he must not be a scumbag like his father." β
β...........β
For a moment, Lin Ziyi was speechless!
She knew that Xie Xiaolin didn't really hate Li Zheng, if she hated, it was because she used to love her too much, and now, she was hurt too deeply.
"Okay, then let's have a son, and in the future, Xiaoxi will have a helper when he fights with others. β
Xie Xiaolin, ".........."
................................................
On the other end of the phone, as soon as Xie Xiaolin hung up the phone, she raised her hand to cover her mouth, and quickly rushed to the direction of the bathroom with a "vomit".
When the servant saw this, he quickly poured a glass of warm water and followed.
Rushing into the bathroom, Xie Xiaolin vomited all the breakfast she had just eaten into the toilet.
The maid came behind her, patted her gently on the back, and asked with concern, "Miss Xie, are you okay?" β
There are two servants in Lin Ziyi's villa, one is a local, and the other is a native of country F, both of them are serious and careful, and they are considerate, and they were carefully selected by Ye Susu to take care of Lin Ziyi.
Later, Lin Ziyi returned to country F as an exchange student, but because after the half-year exchange time, Lin Ziyi would return to country Y to complete the rest of his studies, and Ye Susu was never bad for money, so the maid has not been removed.
Before Xie Xiaolin came to Country Y, Lin Ziyi called and told her again and again that she must take care of Xie Xiaolin as carefully as she took care of her, so the two servants have always been very attentive to Xie Xiaolin.
Xie Xiaolin vomited, her stomach was comfortable, she shook her head, stood up, took the warm water handed over by the maid, smiled and said "thank you", and then went to the washstand to rinse her mouth.
After rinsing her mouth and leaving the bathroom, Xie Xiaolin went directly to get her bag and coat, intending to go to work, but saw the maid come out of the kitchen with another bowl of porridge.
"Miss Xie, you can eat something more before leaving. β
Xie Xiaolin smiled and shook her head, full of gratitude to these two servants who took care of her meticulously.
"I don't eat it. β
"The stomach is empty, how can you do it if you don't eat, you see you've lost weight again!" The servant put the porridge on the table and continued to persuade bitterly, "This child is developing and has great nutritional needs, how can the child develop well if you eat so little every day!"
Xie Xiaolin pulled the corners of her lips, lowered her head, glanced at her still flat lower abdomen, and nodded.
Since you have decided to keep this child, you should treat him/her well.
.............................................
After a busy day, when I got off work, two female colleagues in the same office asked Xie Xiaolin and asked her if she wanted to go shopping together.
Xie Xiaolin originally wanted to refuse, but when she thought that Li Zheng, the bastard, had already flown with other women, she was still stupid and secretly weeping and sad, so she immediately agreed.
Why can he Li Zheng live so chic and nourishing, but she has to live like a resentful woman.
From today on, she must dress herself up beautifully, find a man who is a thousand times and ten thousand times stronger than Li Zheng, and then let Li Zheng's son call another man a father, and be angry with Li Zheng's bastard.
Thinking about it, Xie Xiaolin immediately agreed.
When a woman goes shopping, in addition to eating, she buys!
Lin Ziyi and her two colleagues were no exception, when they came to the big shopping mall, the three of them first found a restaurant, Xie Xiaolin took the initiative to treat them, so the three of them had a delicious meal.
Because she was in a good mood, Xie Xiaolin's taste was wide open and she ate a lot.
After eating, the three of them started shopping at the mall, shopping for clothes, skincare products and cosmetics.
After buying clothes, skin care products and cosmetics, when I passed by a jewelry store, the store was doing activities, and a clerk pulled the three of them into the store and carried out various propaganda and agitation for them.
Xie Xiaolin was originally unmoved, but when out of the corner of her eye, she inadvertently glanced at a diamond necklace on the counter, and her heart couldn't help but stir.
She clearly remembers that once, when Li Zheng accompanied her shopping, he also passed by a jewelry store, and was lured in by the clerk, and saw a diamond necklace, which she didn't like much, but because she looked at it twice, Li Zheng was ready to let the waiter take it out and wanted to buy it for her.
When she saw the price of the necklace, more than 200,000 yuan, she was immediately startled, pulled Li Zheng and walked out, strongly expressing that she didn't like it, and said that wearing such an expensive thing on her body, if it fell or was robbed, then she would die of distress, so even if she bought it, she would not wear it, but would only press it under the box.
In the end, Xie Xiaolin came to the conclusion that instead of wasting such a large amount of money on useless things, it was better to give her money directly, and she could do more meaningful things.
Let's say take it and eat it.
For example, to buy clothes.
For example, when they get married, they can buy a bigger house.
.........................
Thinking about it, Xie Xiaolin's eyes were sour, and there was a hot and humid liquid, as if it was about to pour out of her eyes, and she looked at the diamond necklace lying quietly on the counter now, which was exactly the same as the one Li Zheng was going to buy for her that time.
Thinking of the bank card that Li Zheng gave her when they broke up, Xie Xiaolin sniffed and immediately made a decision.
If she wants to buy it, she wants to buy this diamond necklace, isn't it just more than 200,000 yuan, with the money of Li Zheng's bastard, what is there to feel sorry for.
took out the bank card that Li Zheng gave her, Li Zheng walked to the counter and told the waiter that she wanted the diamond necklace weighing 2.5 carats and almost 300,000 yuan.
When the waiter heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and quickly took the key, opened the counter, and took the necklace for Xie Xiaolin.
Xie Xiaolin dragged the bank card in the palm of her hand, and suddenly worried about a problem.
If Li Zheng didn't have 300,000 yuan in the card she gave her, it would not be enough to buy this diamond necklace, then she wouldn't be ugly.
So, she smiled apologetically at the waiter, said another word to her two colleagues, and strode out of the jewelry store to find the ATM, wanting to check the balance on the bank card.
..............................
In a large shopping mall, it is easy to find an ATM, but in a few minutes, Xie Xiaolin came to an ATM.
Standing in front of the ATM, Xie Xiaolin took a deep breath, and after being fully mentally prepared, she inserted the bank card in her hand into the bank card jack, and then entered the password.
She remembered that Li Zheng had said that the password was her birthday.
When she finished entering the password, pressed the bank card balance option, and saw the string of numbers that popped up on the touch screen, she was immediately stunned on the spot, all her breath was plundered, and her heartbeat stopped at this moment.
Five million, a full five million.
The next second she came back to her senses, Xie Xiaolin's vision became blurred, and tears poured out like a flood that burst the embankment.
She had asked Li Zheng before how much his salary was, and Li Zheng told her that his salary was not high, but it was enough to support her and their children.
Five million! How many years of Li Zheng's salary will it take, and then there will be five million!
Looking at the string of increasingly blurred numbers, Xie Xiaolin squatted on the ground and cried!
"Li Zheng, you bastard, you complete bastard......."
