Text Text_Chapter 144 [Marriage Without Love]
144 Yang Chen had guessed that the matter would not end so easily, but he didn't expect Lin Ruoxi to ask to see her so quickly, and also took Zhao Hongyan with him, and he couldn't help but feel worried, although he didn't really have anything to do with Zhao Hongyan, but he kissed and hugged him, so he couldn't wipe his mouth and say nothing!
gave the nervous Zhao Hongyan a relieved smile, and the two left the scene together, as for the two brothers of the Yu family, although they gritted their teeth angrily, they didn't have any way.
Five minutes later, Yang Chen took Zhao Hongyan to the president's office on the top floor, Yang Chen came to this place for the second time, and although Zhao Hongyan has been in Yulei for more than three years, she has never been here, although there are still tears on her face, she can't care about anything at the moment, and looks around with some curiosity.
"Don't be nervous, just sit there. ”
Lin Ruoxi, who looked faint, walked from the water dispenser on the side of the office, holding a glass in his hand, which was steaming green tea that had just been brewed, with delicate colors and fragrant fragrance, and he could smell the natural fragrance of tea from a distance.
Without waiting for Lin Ruoxi to put the teacup on the mahogany coffee table in front of the sofa, Yang Chen stepped forward with a smile and wanted to take it.
"What's so embarrassing, the president makes tea himself, and I'll do it myself......"
Lin Ruoxi ignored him, directly skipped Yang Chen, let him pounce, walked straight to Zhao Hongyan, and smiled at her slightly, like a snowy early sunshine, spring flowers blooming.
"This is this year's new West Lake Longjing, you are a person who understands tea, so I gave it to you, and I am reluctant to do it for ordinary people. Lin Ruoxi winked at Zhao Hongyan and brought the teacup to her.
Zhao Hongyan stood up flattered, her pretty face was full of blush, and she didn't know whether she was excited or shy, "Mr. Lin, you're polite, I'm ...... I'll be embarrassed......"
This picture made Yang Chen a little depressed, why didn't this woman smile brightly at her husband?
Lin Ruoxi walked back to her seat lightly, sat down leisurely, and didn't seem to be in a hurry to ask about what happened today, but looked at Zhao Hongyan with a smile and asked, "Hongyan, if I'm not mistaken, it's been more than three years since you came to the company, right?"
Zhao Hongyan sat on the soft sofa, heard Lin Ruoxi's question, and thought of saying that she was "a person who understands tea" just now, and her eyes were full of incredulity, "Mr. Lin, do you know me?"
"As long as you are an employee of the headquarters, I know that although it is impossible to communicate with you often because of work, as long as it is my employee, I will recognize you. Lin Ruoxi said softly.
Not only Zhao Hongyan was stunned by these words, but even Yang Chen, who had just sat down, was stunned, you must know that the employees of Yulei's headquarters are less than four or five hundred, and in the case of almost no contact at ordinary times, Lin Ruoxi actually recognized them all, looking at the way she treated Zhao Hongyan today, it didn't seem to be nonsense, it seems that she can control such a fashionable aircraft carrier at such a young age, this woman's inner mind is far more terrifying than imagined.
Zhao Hongyan was obviously quite excited, like most other female employees, she also admired Lin Ruoxi, and at this moment she found that her idol could call her name, and she also knew some of her background, just like an excited bird, the gloomy mood just now was swept away, and she said: "I really didn't expect Mr. Lin to even recognize a small employee like us, it seems that there is nothing in the company that can hide from Mr. Lin......
"You are more special, in fact, I met you before you joined the company", Lin Ruoxi said.
"Before entering the company?" Zhao Hongyan obviously couldn't remember.
Lin Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, and then said clearly: "The glutinous rice balls made by your father, Mr. Zhao, are very delicious, and I used to buy them often. ”
Zhao Hongyan showed a sudden expression, but at the same time felt incredible, "Mr. Lin, you ...... Like glutinous rice balls?"
She didn't expect that the beautiful and refined female president would like such snacks.
"Your family runs a glutinous rice ball shop?" Yang Chen also asked in surprise.
Zhao Hongyan nodded, and said a little proudly: "Our family's meatball shop has been passed down for several generations, and the taste is very authentic, and it is a time-honored meatball shop." ”
"Mr. Zhao is also a master of traditional tea art, I have drunk his Huangshan Maofeng and Biluochun, his techniques and skills, is the most orthodox tea ceremony, which is actually almost extinct in China, but the Japanese reservation is more perfect. It's a pity that people nowadays only pay attention to those vanity tea arts, and don't know how to appreciate the most authentic tea ceremony. Lin Ruoxi said with appreciation and regret.
Zhao Hongyan became more and more excited, "I really didn't expect Mr. Lin to know so much about our family, and even know about my father......"
"That was many years ago, and speaking of which, I was two years younger than you, and I was still in high school when I went to buy meatballs. Because high school is very close to your family's meatball shop, I often go to eat them, and when they are cooked, your father will make me tea. Occasionally, I will see you helping out in the store. It's just that you're probably not impressed, but I've always remembered the scene in your store. I think your family is very happy, father, mother, daughter, boy, it should be your brother, they are all in the same shop to help make and sell meatballs, and they are happy and feel good. Lin Ruoxi's eyes showed a bit of yearning, and the words were soft and true.
Zhao Hongyan also felt a little nostalgic, and smiled, "Yes, I was still in college at that time, so I would have time to help in the store, and then I didn't go back to work anymore, in fact, I kept complaining about my father at that time, I obviously didn't know how to make balls, and he had to let me learn, and now I think about it." ”
Listening to the words of the two women, Yang Chen had to admire Lin Ruoxi's conversation skills, and at this moment, Zhao Hongyan had obviously put down the tense nerves of Shicai and began to say something heartily.
"How is Mr. Zhao doing?" Lin Ruoxi asked casually.
Zhao Hongyan's originally bright face showed a touch of sadness, and she smiled reluctantly: "It's not very good, I have been hospitalized since last year." ”
"Hospitalized?" Lin Ruoxi thought thoughtfully, "Can you tell me in detail, I haven't seen him for a long time." ”
Zhao Hongyan picked up the teacup on the table, took two sips of hot tea, and said: "My father was diagnosed with kidney failure, and he has been undergoing dialysis treatment, and his health is very bad. ”
"I'm sorry", Lin Ruoxi said apologetically, and subconsciously glanced at Yang Chen.
When Yang Chen saw it, he spread his hands, saying that he didn't know about it before, and he didn't mean to ask her about such a sad topic.
Lin Ruoxi thought for a while and asked, "Hongyan, today on the first floor, is it your husband who came?"
"Yes, Mr. Lin. Zhao Hongyan nodded gloomily.
"Why did he do that?"
Zhao Hongyan sighed and told all about what happened in the bar last night, but naturally concealed the fragment of being harassed by Afterglow, although it was not her fault, but it was not disgraceful.
After Lin Ruoxi listened, he asked Yang Chen again, "Yang Chen, is that so?"
Of course, Yang Chen nodded.
"But why do you want to kiss Hongyan?" Lin Ruoxi immediately asked again, it was actually a "kiss", but Lin Ruoxi was ashamed to say that word.
"Uh......"
Yang Chen was speechless for a while, and Zhao Hongyan on his side also blushed, she felt hot on her face when she was asked this kind of topic in person, but at the same time, she was looking forward to how Yang Chen answered.
Lin Ruoxi's gaze was as cold as a scalpel that cut open people's hearts, as if telling Yang Chen, "Don't lie to me."
Obviously, in public and private, Yang Chen kissed Zhao Hongyan in front of everyone, which made Lin Ruoxi very dissatisfied, but he didn't show it too excitedly.
Yang Chen smiled embarrassedly, "That surnamed Yu has to admit that I have that relationship with his wife, I said it doesn't matter, he doesn't believe it, he is so hard-hearted, and generously gave me a woman, I can't say I really don't want it, isn't this a blow to Hongyan's self-confidence?
"So you just kiss her, have you ever thought that everyone saw that scene, what will you two do in the future!?" Lin Ruoxi is going crazy, this kind of scoundrel reason to the extreme, this man actually opened his mouth to come!
Yang Chen glanced at Zhao Hongyan, who was already blushing and dripping juice beside him, and touched the back of his head, "What else can I do, her husband said that he was going to divorce her, I can't also say that he wants to divorce her, right?"
"You ......" Lin Ruoxi was sullen in his chest, but he didn't know what to say.
Yang Chen smiled a little narrowly: "Mr. Lin cares so much about my love life, I am really flattered, on behalf of my wife, thank you Mr. Lin for your love." ”
He's doing it on purpose! He's deliberately angry with me!
Lin Ruoxi's two plain hands were clenched into pink fists, trembling constantly, if it weren't for Zhao Hongyan's presence, she really wanted to pick up anything on the table and smash this man to death!
"Yang Chen, don't speak to Mr. Lin in this tone, she is also good for us", Zhao Hongyan suddenly persuaded, and looked at Lin Ruoxi with a complicated expression, "Mr. Lin, I think all this is my fault, I shouldn't have gone to the bar, I lied to my husband in advance, otherwise this would not have happened." ”
Yang Chen asked curiously, "I've always been curious, why can't you tell that guy when you have some drinks at the bar with your colleagues?"
Zhao Hongyan was silent for a while, and said: "Actually, you also saw it today, Yu Guang is a very conservative and decent person, in his eyes, places like bars, nightclubs, and KTVs are all so-called 'social moths', and places where 'profligate men and women' go, and people from their Yu family are not allowed to enter." ”
"Isn't his brother here too?" Yang Chen frowned.
Zhao Hongyan smiled miserably: "Yu Hui is his own brother, and I am just his daughter-in-law who married home, according to the Yu family's opinion, I am just the daughter of a small shopkeeper, from a low background, they let me in is a favor to me, how can you tolerate me going to a nightclub?"
Yang Chen couldn't help but feel ridiculous, "I really didn't expect that there was such a type of person in this society, how could they feel like they had regressed to feudal society." ”
"Yes, when I first married him, I was also very uncomfortable, I felt like an ascetic, as soon as I got home, I felt that the atmosphere overwhelmed me, and it was a little better for more than a year, but I was always afraid to go home, and I felt that I couldn't walk with their family, and there were too many things. Zhao Hongyan said in disappointment.
"Then why are you still marrying him?"
Lin Ruoxi glanced at Yang Chen, "It's for your father, as far as I know, kidney dialysis is not cheap." ”
Zhao Hongyan was silent and nodded sadly, "Yes, my father is friends with Yu Guang's father, when my father went to the hospital, although there was insurance to pay for a certain fee, it was still not enough. Yu Guang's mother took a fancy to me at that time and wanted me to be their daughter-in-law...... It may be that other families are unwilling to marry their daughter to Yu Guang, and their family is not very good-looking, so they finally chose me and promised me to help my father pay most of the medical expenses. ”
The truth of the matter seems simple and sad, a young and beautiful woman marries an old, stubborn man for her father's medical expenses.
"Do you love him?" Lin Ruoxi asked suddenly.
Zhao Hongyan was slightly stunned for a moment, before she thought of who she was asking, and said with a sad smile: "Mr. Lin, I have never been in love with Yu Guang, and I didn't even communicate, so I married him." I don't know him, he doesn't trust me, how can I love him. ”
Marriage without love?
Lin Ruoxi quietly glanced at Yang Chen, and it happened that Yang Chen was also looking at him, Lin Ruoxi's heartbeat accelerated, and he hurriedly skimmed over and asked Zhao Hongyan: "What are you going to do next?"
Zhao Hongyan shook her head blankly, "I don't know, in fact, I have long thought of divorcing Yu Guang, we are people from different worlds at all." ”
"But what about your father's illness?" Lin Ruoxi asked.
Zhao Hongyan bit her lip, "I discussed with my brother that if I mortgage my family's shop and borrow from the bank, I should be able to borrow hundreds of thousands, which should barely be enough for my father's kidney replacement surgery." ”
"If I say that I will advance your salary and bonus for five years, and ask you to work here for another ten years, can you accept it?" Lin Ruoxi asked again.
Zhao Hongyan raised her head suddenly, her moist eyes were full of incredulity and surprise, "Mr. Lin...... You mean ......"
Lin Ruoxi turned around and pressed the red button on the desk, and said into a delicate microphone, "Wu Yue, come in." ”
