Chapter Seventy-Seven: Who Is Charlie?
"I'll tell you, sister, that one over there, it's Alcatraz, a well-known federal prison in California, which has held many well-known felons, but ah, it was abandoned in 1963 and is now an attraction in San Francisco. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" On the side of the street by the sea, Lin Lixia pointed to the island in the distance, and introduced it to her sister with great interest.
"Oh......" Lin Qingxia replied absentmindedly, although her eyes looked into the distance, she had no focus.
"Why don't you go up and have a look? Tickets are only $5, and there's a ferry." Lin Lixia continued.
"Forget it," Lin Qingxia shook her head, "I don't want to go up." ”
Saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, Lin Lixia frowned, and followed in a few steps: "Then let's go to the Museum of Modern Art, to be honest, I haven't been there after settling in San Francisco for so long." ”
"No need, Lixia, just take a walk. Lin Qingxia shook her head and rejected her sister's proposal again.
Lin Lixia frowned again, looked around for a moment, didn't know what she was looking for, and then followed her sister and asked, "Sister, do you have something on your mind?"
"I didn't ...... No, I just feel a little tired and can't do anything. Lin Qingxia forced a smile, and then sighed again.
"Then let's find a place to sit," Lin Lixia rolled her eyes, "It's almost noon, take a break for a while, let's find a nearby restaurant for lunch, okay?"
Lin Qingxia had no objection here, and the sisters walked along the avenue, where they went, and finally stopped a taxi and found a nearby Mexican restaurant.
"This Dottia pastry looks pretty good, I just don't know how it tastes, but I've never eaten Mexican food before, so I tried it today. Lin Lixia said this loudly, picked up the dough and took a small bite, then closed her eyes and shook her head exaggeratedly, and then opened her eyes violently.
"Yes, sister, it's sweet and sour, let's taste it!" Lin Lixia exclaimed in a tone of surprise that she knew was fake when she heard it.
"Alright, I got it. Lin Qingxia finally laughed, her eyes were crooked, and she looked very charming.
She picked up the Dotia cake in front of her, learned to take a bite from her sister, and quickly nodded: "It's really good." ”
"I'll just say it. Lin Lixia laughed.
The two sisters discussed it like this, and after talking for a while, Lin Lixia suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, I have never been to the villa you share with Sister Feng Jiao, when will you invite me to come over and have a look?" Sister Feng Jiao said that the area is very large. ”
The smile immediately froze on Lin Qingxia's face, and her heart suddenly flashed to the face of Lin Fengjiao that she saw before going out in the morning.
At that time, she was coming out of her bedroom, her face was like peach, the corners of her mouth were spring, and the laziness between her eyebrows was very obvious, and she smiled embarrassedly after seeing Lin Qingxia, and she was even more charming.
There is no doubt that she just ended her relationship with that man, and she liked it very much.
Lin Qingxia, who was half cold, said hello and fled, the fear of the ally who had said that she would advance and retreat together was so betrayed was extremely clear, which made her lose her soul all morning.
Now that it's easy to calm down, when my sister mentions it, that feeling comes up again, making her face look very ugly.
"How...... What's wrong?" Lin Lixia was a little overwhelmed, but immediately showed a happy look again, stood up and waved to the door.
Lin Qingxia hurriedly took a deep breath, controlled her emotions, and then turned her head to look at the door, and this look was suddenly frozen.
A tall and handsome man walked in, said hello to Lin Lixia, and showed an excited look after seeing Lin Qingxia.
"Qingxia, are you okay?" he asked eagerly after taking a few steps and sitting down.
Charlie...... Xianglin ...... How could you ......" Lin Qingxia was a little overwhelmed.
"I'm sorry, sister, I didn't mean to betray you, Charlie is so pitiful," Lin Lixia stuck out her tongue, "I really can't stand his begging." ”
"Qingxia, don't blame Lixia, after you avoided me last time, I was cheeky to beg her," Qin Xianglin immediately said, "I know, you're still angry with me, but I really miss you." ”
"It's not...... I ......" Lin Qingxia wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it, "I told you last time, don't pester me again, go back quickly, don't stay in San Francisco, why don't you listen?!"
Then at the end of the sentence, her voice suddenly became a little choked, and her eyes were a little hazy.
Qin Xianglin obviously misunderstood something, and immediately grabbed her hands: "Qingxia, you listen to me......"
But Lin Qingxia reflexively took her hand back and said pleadingly: "Charlie, please, get out of here quickly." ”
"No, Qingxia, I missed a lot of opportunities, I definitely can't miss them again this time," Qin Xianglin looked at her and said firmly, "I want you to know, I love you, I really love you!"
"I ......" A warm current suddenly poured into Lin Qingxia's heart and hit her soft heart.
Although she didn't have strong feelings for him, at this time, there was a man who came all the way to San Francisco, constantly pestering himself, just to say "I love you", how touching such a persistence is.
The grievances and despair of this time, as well as those fears, seem to be left behind, and the huge ditch between her and others no longer seems to be an insurmountable obstacle.
"Listen to me, Charlie, listen to me, I have something very important to tell you......" Lin Qingxia said excitedly, she wanted to tell him everything, she had to find a way to escape from that cage, she would definitely not give in like Lin Fengjiao, she would definitely be able to get her own freedom and love......
At this moment, a rapid creaking footsteps came from the door, interrupting Lin Qingxia's speech.
Then, two middle-aged white men in suits and leather shoes walked up to their table and stood still, one of them stared at Qin Xianglin: "Charlie, Mr. Qin?"
"Yes, I am. Qin Xianglin looked at them a little blankly.
The other immediately took out his ID and held it up to him: "San Francisco Immigration Department, please come with us, there is something that needs your assistance in the investigation." ”
"Old ...... San Francisco Immigration Bureau?" Qin Xianglin looked at the white man in front of him a little sluggishly, with a look of disbelief, "Is there a mistake?"
"Please leave now. The white man didn't even look at her, and said in a cold and irresistible tone.
"But ......" Qin Xianglin glanced at Lin Qingxia and wanted to struggle again, but Lin Lixia pushed him beside him: "Leave immediately, sir." ”
She shook her head at Qin Xianglin as she spoke, as a person who has lived in the United States for several years, she knows very well that she must not confront law enforcement agencies.
At the same time, the people who were still eating in the restaurant had already turned their eyes over, and some of them showed disgust to Qin Xianglin after hearing that it was an official from the Immigration Bureau.
In this case, Qin Xianglin couldn't say anything more, smiled reluctantly, got up and walked out of the restaurant with the two immigration officials.
What made him feel humiliated was that when they walked together, the two officials sandwiched him between left and right, for fear that he would run away.
Even so, before being stuffed into the car, he turned his head and said to Lin Qingxia who came out with him: "Don't worry, Qingxia, I will...... I'll be out soon. ”
"Really, what's going on!" Looking at the car in the distance, Lin Lixia frowned a little annoyed and a little panicked, "What are the people from the immigration bureau looking for Charlie?"
Turning his head and startling again, Lin Qingxia beside him had a pale look on her face, her eyes were also a little dull, and she stood there trembling twice from time to time.
"Are you okay, sister?" Lin Lixia hurriedly grabbed Lin Qingxia's shoulder and asked in a worried tone.
"I ...... I'm fine......" said her, but her tone had changed.
No matter how sluggish Lin Lixia is, she should have noticed something abnormal at this time: "Sister...... Are you ...... Do you know why this is happening?"
Lin Qingxia was immediately shocked again, but calmed down and squeezed out a smile: "Lixia, I remember that I still have something to do, and I want to leave first, you ...... You'd better go back quickly. ”
"What the hell happened, sister?" Lin Lixia asked anxiously.
"Don't ask, Lixia, listen to my sister and just go back. Lin Qingxia just said this, then stopped a taxi, leaving her sister and leaving alone.
It is not far from here to the villa in Marin County, dozens of minutes away, and it will be there soon, but even after getting out of the car, Lin Qingxia still trembles twice from time to time because of fear.
She stumbled into the villa, grabbed a servant and asked, "Love...... Where's Edward?"
"Young Master and Miss Joan are in the garden. The servant replied.
Lin Qingxia was finally able to calm down, and after taking a few deep breaths, she walked into the garden.
After turning around, she found Lin Fengjiao and Li Xu, but the scene in the distance made her a little flustered.
Lin Fengjiao was wearing a long tulle skirt, curled up with bare feet, leaning on a wooden swing chair, while Li Xu was holding a camera, adjusting the focus in front of her, occasionally pressing the shutter.
Li Xu's "very good" and "That's it" voices could be heard from afar, as well as Lin Fengjiao's giggling laughter, which made Lin Qingxia feel impetuous for a while, and she didn't know whether to go over or wait.
However, Lin Fengjiao quickly discovered her traces, and immediately jumped down from the hanging chair and said a few words to Li Xu.
Li Xu also stopped, turned his head to look at Lin Qingxia, and beckoned to her.
"Didn't you go to your sister's house, why did you come back again?" he asked with a smile.
For a moment, Lin Qingxia really wanted to punch him in the nose, he knew why he came back, but he still had to pretend to be like this.
But she didn't dare, she knew very well what it meant to suddenly appear as an immigration officer, so she finally lowered her head and asked, "Are you going to ...... What are you going to do with Charlie?"
However, the other party's answer made her even more angry: "Who is Charlie?"
