8. [Narrow Road Encounter]
Chapter VIII
Tong Yan followed behind Li Jie, who was carrying Qiao Ge, and moved towards the underground parking lot at a very slow speed.
Li Jie walked in front and opened the door of the back seat first, as if he wanted to stuff Qiao Ge, who was already drunk, into it, but suddenly stopped halfway through the action, and then Tong Yan watched him slowly move Qiao Ge out again, opened the co-pilot's door, and stuffed it in.
Suddenly, there was a bad premonition.
Tong Yan paused, and then saw Li Jie close the co-pilot's door, go around the front of the car, and get into the cab.
Well, Li Jie is the driver, and Qiao Ge is in the co-pilot, so Tong Yan can only sit in the back now, but it seems that he has heard that Ling Zesheng is waiting in the car before, so the only situation that may happen now is that Tong Yan and Ling Zesheng are sitting together.
Oh no, the urge to die that had been churning in Tong Yan's heart just now is even stronger.
Almost step by step, he moved to the front of the car, and Tong Yan stood between the front and rear doors, feeling a little tormented in his heart.
What kind of position should she use to get into the co-pilot and squeeze together with Qiao Ge?
Before she could come up with an answer, she heard a cold voice suddenly float out of the carriage, two concise words:
"Come up."
Tong Yan was stunned for a moment, reflexively bent down and looked into the car, and saw Ling Zesheng sitting in the dark, looking at her with a gloomy face, and repeating what he had just said in an unkind tone.
"Come up."
Go up, go up, you have the ability to kill me!
Tong Yan silently shouted in his heart, slowly opened the car door, and threw himself into the back seat of the car.
――
Nothing to say all the way.
Tong Yan retracted himself as much as possible into the angle between the seat and the car door, and he didn't even dare to breathe hard, trying to reduce his sense of storage.
Ling Zesheng didn't embarrass her, just glanced at her silently after she got into the car, and then turned his head to tell Li Jie the address of Tong Yan's house, and said no more.
really got through the road with extremely complicated feelings, Tong Yan stared at the street scene outside the car, and saw that the car had stopped at the door of the community where he lived, and suddenly thought of a very stupid question - shouldn't she send Qiao Ge back to her own house, why did she bring it back to her house?
Holding the co-pilot's seat with both hands, Tong Yan stretched out his head and glanced at Qiao Ge, who was already unconscious, and suddenly felt a little tragic in his heart.
Forget it, let her pay attention to the night in the guest room, and the top priority is to send away Ling Zesheng's big Buddha as soon as possible.
Thinking so, Tong Yan began to show Li Jie the way, "Enter the community and turn right, the third building, and park the car at the door of the fourth unit." ”
Li Jie responded to her, turned his head and continued to drive seriously.
――
In the end, it was Li Jie who helped move Qiao Ge upstairs, but fortunately, Tong Yan lived on the second floor, and he could be very fast without taking the elevator.
After settling Qiao Ge in the guest room, Tong Yan gasped and walked into the living room, glanced at the two men who were sitting on the sofa at this time, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After being stunned in place for three seconds, she suddenly walked to the kitchen:
"What are you going to drink, coffee, cola, or green tea?"
No one should be.
Tong Yan was a little puzzled when he opened the refrigerator, subconsciously glanced in the direction of the living room, and walked out with a few cans of drinks.
Only Ling Zesheng was sitting alone on the sofa, and Li Jie was no longer there.
Lazily paced out of the balcony leisurely, looked up at Tong Yan, glanced at Ling Zesheng again, meowed, turned around and went back to the balcony.
Ling Zesheng glanced at Lazy Lazy along with the cat's meow, and then turned his head to look at Tong Yan for a long time.
Inexplicably embarrassed, Tong Yan walked over and put the drink on the coffee table, pretended to look around the room, and asked hypocritically, "Where is Li Jie?" ”
Ling Zesheng looked at her and said, "I asked him to go downstairs first." ”
"Oh." Tong Yan responded, and suddenly felt that he had nothing to say, so he leaned back on the back of the sofa, pretending to be a mushroom.
After a while.
"You don't want to tell me something?" After all, it was Ling Zesheng who was the first to speak.
Tong Yan turned his head to look at him, pretending to be puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”
Ling Zesheng's eyes instantly turned a little cold when he looked at her: "A person who is said to have settled abroad suddenly returned to China, and became my business partner's junior sister without anyone knowing. Tong Yan, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation. ”
Tong Yan turned her head to look at him, the smile forced out of her pure face collapsed a little, she took a breath, and asked instead of answering: "Is it important?" ”
Ling Zesheng's eyes darkened when he looked at her, and instead of answering her question, he got up and walked in her direction and sat down beside her.
Feeling that the sofa next to her collapsed, Tong Yan's whole nerves tensed, and she turned her head to stare at him almost reflexively, but she almost fell into his arms, and she was so frightened that she moved to the side again.
"Drunk?" Ling Zesheng saw her dodge, deliberately leaned over to her again, tilted his head sideways and sniffed it carefully, and said, "It's okay that I don't drink much, pay attention next time." ”
Pay attention next time
Pay attention next time
What the hell will you pay attention to next time?!
How do you hear this mean to teach a lesson to a child?
"Ling Zesheng!" I don't know where the courage came out, Tong Yan turned his head and glared at the person in front of him, and his expression became cold and hard in an instant, like a cat with its tail stepped on: "Don't put on a posture of being my parent, I don't need to explain to you at all!" ”
Ling Zesheng looked at her calmly and nodded, "Oh." He didn't have half of the anger, he just lowered his head and sank for a while, then looked at her again, and spit out a sentence in a sparse tone: "Sure enough, it's because of Yan Jingdong." If you're not mistaken, he doesn't know about your return. Would you like me to help inform him? ”
After saying that, he raised a dangerous smile and gestured to take his phone.
Tong Yan saw his movements, and immediately turned around and pressed the hand he had reached into his pocket, and the expression on his face changed from angry a second ago to a clever smile and flattery.
"Brother Zesheng, I was wrong. Are you okay, let me go? Tong Yan almost waged his tail.
Ling Zesheng glanced at her and snorted, "Now you know who I am, didn't you keep calling me Teacher Ling before?" The words fell and directly rewarded Tong Yan with a burst of chestnuts.
"I'm wrong, can't I!" Tong Yan covered his head and pretended to be a little aggrieved, "No one knows about my return to China, and I don't want to have anything to do with the Yan family, if it wasn't for this accident to meet you, I"
"If it hadn't been for an accident, you'd have been avoiding us all the time?" Ling Zesheng bent his fingers and wanted to knock her again.
Tong Yan will learn to be obedient, covered his head and shrank to the side again, closed his eyes and nodded very firmly.
Seeing the girl shrinking on the sofa at this time, Ling Zesheng was inexplicably a little distracted. It was really hard for him to associate her with the little girl he remembered who was always hanging behind him, especially since it was 12 years ago.
To be honest, I didn't think anything special when I saw her in a private club at the time. She is just Cheng Yuan's schoolgirl who is a screenwriter, but she peeks at him from time to time during the banquet, the kind of eyes that are shy and full of admiration, and the subtle movements when moving the teacup, make him feel familiar.
It's just that he didn't remember who that person was at that time, but he still couldn't help but test it, so he had the words he said to her later.
Ling Zesheng is not a person who likes to care about others, this is something that everyone knows. So after that day, when Cheng Yuan came to ask him in a daze, he was still a little inexplicable, but then he calmed down and thought about it carefully, and he seemed to understand something. So he asked someone to check Tong Yan's information, and it turned out that she had no record before college.
At this point, he was more convinced of his original idea - Tong Yan was the sister next door who always followed him back then.
That's why he asked her to go to the company and then sent her home under the pretext of sending her home. It's just that he didn't expect Tong Yan to answer like that.
As soon as he thought of this, Ling Zesheng was a little depressed, and his hand that stopped in the air hung twice, but finally fell on Tong Yan's head. He sighed, reached for a bottle of green tea on the table, unscrewed it, and took a slow sip.
"When did you come back?" Ling Zesheng glanced at Tong Yan and added coldly: "To be honest." ”
Tong Yan thought about it, and still maintained the posture of holding his head with both hands: "The year my father died." ”
Tong Yan's father died when she was 17 years old, and if you count from that time, it has been 7 years since she came back.
Ling Zesheng was slightly stunned, a little incredulous: "You've been back for seven years, and you don't know anything about it at home?" ”
"I don't know." Tong Yan replied in the affirmative, "And I don't want them to know." Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something, turned around and grabbed Ling Zesheng's arm, "Brother Zesheng, don't tell anyone about my return, especially Yan Jingdong." ”
It seems that this family is not small. Ling Zesheng thought in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, he just looked at her sideways: "Why?" ”
"There is no why!" Tong Yan shook his head vigorously, "Anyway, don't say it." Okay? ”
Ling Zesheng moved his fingers holding the green tea bottle, "What's the benefit?" ”
Tong Yan looked up at him, and tens of thousands of grass and mud horses suddenly ran in his heart, the businessmen in the world are really black, even if he Ling Zesheng has not taken over his family's business yet, but there are a lot of unprofitable genes in his blood.
After pondering carefully, Tong Yan felt that in her current state, it was unrealistic to ask her to give Ling Zesheng some benefits, but
"How about I help you run Yan Jingdong together?"
Ling Zesheng squinted at her and sighed: "If Yan Jingdong knew that there was a sister like you, it would be really heart-wrenching." Cheng, I promise you not to say. ”
Tong Yan was immediately happy, "Deal." Can we reconcile now? ”
Ling Zesheng looked at the big-tailed wolf in front of him, and nodded helplessly, "Well, reconcile." ”
