Chapter 89 -90
089οΌ
The woman who lives with Lin Jinhua is Zeng Rong.
In fact, Lin Jinhua would live with someone, and even remarry, Lin Shu was not very surprised. Lin Jinhua was originally a person who couldn't stand loneliness at all. He is very weak, and he attaches great importance to what happens to "himself". So when he encounters something, he always chooses to escape, decides to give up very lightly, and will shirk responsibility and blame others for his mistakes.
How can you be happy with such a man?
Zeng Rong was also dizzy.
But how could a sober-minded woman cheat, how could she abandon her wife and daughter to become a junior in another family? In many cases, the basis of people's behavior lies in their own legitimacy. When the legitimacy of one's actions depends on deceiving oneself to maintain it...... How can such a person be considered sober-minded?
But life is one's own life, and no one can live for others.
So Lin Shu can't stop Lin Jinhua, just like Chen Mingxue can't stop Zeng Rong. Whether it is Lin Jinhua or Zeng Rong, they are all people with parents and children, but when parents fail to teach them principles and responsibilities, they are already powerless as children.
Lin Shu went to Lin Jinhua. As a result, before he reached the door, he saw Zeng Rong busy going in and out there. Lin Shu held back his unhappiness and walked in to ask Lin Jinhua.
As a result, Lin Jinhua hesitated, and only after a while did he say that he was going to marry Zeng Rong, and asked Lin Shu if he would like to come to his wedding.
Lin Shu knew that Zeng Rong had already divorced. He took a deep breath to restrain his contempt and anger at the man and woman, and said, "I'm not going to the wedding." β
"And ......," he said with a soft meaningful smile, "I wish you happiness to Daddy." β
Later, on the day of Lin Jinhua's wedding, Lin Shu really didn't attend.
But in fact, secretly he still went to the vicinity of the hotel, sat in the car with Ju Mingfeng for a long time, and watched everyone enter the hotel all the way with mixed feelings.
Lin Jinhua got married this time, and not many people came, most of them were some of his fox friends. Lin Shu looked over there for half an hour, memorized every familiar face that entered the door, and then drew a big cross next to their evaluation.
Until I saw someone.
There was a little girl who was about the same age as Lin Shu and them, and she rode her bicycle to the side of the hotel alone, and then found a corner where the bicycle was parked and locked, and then mixed in with a few adults and entered the hotel casually.
After Lin Shu saw it, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said to Ju Mingfeng: "Quick! Let's get out of the car and go into the hotel! β
Ju Mingfeng was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he suddenly changed his mind.
But Lin Shu had already opened the car door and ran out, and Ju Mingfeng had no choice but to chase after him.
After entering the hotel and going up to the second floor, the two were almost stopped by the waiter, and after Lin Shu signed up for his identity, there happened to be a guest he knew passing by, proving it for Lin Shu, and the waiter put the two children in.
Lin Shu searched for his target in the crowd.
Ju Mingfeng looked at what he was looking for, and suddenly felt a little strange, and couldn't help asking, "What are you looking for?" β
Lin Shu took advantage of the gap to tell him: "I saw Chen Mingxue...... Chen Mingxue is my stepsister, do you remember? β
Ju Mingfeng blinked his eyes and asked, "The one who is the designer?" I seem to be a little impressed...... What is she doing here? Attending a wedding? β
Lin Shu replied with a slight hesitation: "...... I think...... Not like. β
What kind of person Chen Mingxue is, maybe even her parents don't know as Lin Shu. This is a girl with strong self-esteem, who is particularly stubborn and jealous. Although she is still young, most of her personality has awakened at this age...... Lin Shu doesn't think that this is a master who will calmly bless his mother, who has been the third in someone else's family after cheating, and has a happy marriage for a hundred years.
Lin Shu was afraid that something would happen to her at the wedding scene. He wasn't worried that Lin Jinhua and Zeng Rong's wedding would be ruined, he was worried that Chen Mingxue was still so young now, and he would suffer if he did something.
Zeng Rong and Lin Jinhua are both selfish people in nature, and they care more about their feelings and thoughts. But Zeng Rong is stronger than Lin Jinhua in that her heart is colder and harder.
Lin Jinhua at least did not have the courage to take the initiative to abandon his wife and children, and he has always had a strong sense of guilt for his only son. Although sometimes I can't help but be angry with Lin Shu, I always regret it. Zeng Rong was able to do so without hesitation. And when she later found out that her "love" was actually not worth it, when her mind calmed down and found that life was not as she expected, she could also calmly abandon Lin Jinhua, who loved her to death.
This can be seen from the final choice of the two. When Lin Shu finally saw the two, Lin Jinhua committed suicide when he faced the predicament, while Zeng Rong chose to abscond with the money and then frame Lin Shu.
With such a Zeng Rong, Lin Shu can't count on her love for her daughter - if she had such a thing, she would not choose to abandon her husband and daughter to marry Lin Jinhua.
Lin Shu nervously searched for Chen Mingxue in the crowd, but he didn't know whether Chen Mingxue couldn't blend in or was too good at hiding, and Lin Shu never found her figure.
Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng themselves are both Xiaodouding, and their vision is inevitably limited in an environment where they are all adults.
Then at this time, there was a commotion from a certain direction, and it seemed that Lin Jinhua and Zeng Rong appeared.
Lin Shu heard the discussion of the people around him, but he sighed, feeling depressed for his father.
Then, unexpectedly, the noise turned into a noise, but it seemed that something had happened. Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, and immediately pulled Ju Mingfeng to squeeze there, but saw that his father was dressed in colorful drinks, which were poured into the appearance of a soup chicken, and Zeng Rong's skirt was also stained with several stains, and at this time he was scolding a girl standing on the table.
Lin Shu immediately recognized the girl as Chen Mingxue.
Chen Mingxue was scolded by her mother, and Zeng Rong even reached out and slapped her on the back of her arm. The slap was quite heavy, and Lin Shu could still hear the sound from the noisy voices when he stood some distance, which showed how merciless Zeng Rong was.
Chen Mingxue screamed, stretched out her legs and wanted to kick Zeng Rong, but she was no match for Zeng Rong's strength and anger. As a result, Lin Jinhua was busy persuading: "Okay, Rong Rong!" Don't hit her, it's still a child. β
Lin Shu rushed out and yelled at Zeng Rong: "You dare to hit her!?" β
is like what Chen Mingxue yelled at her mother at the beginning: "Next time you deliberately starve Brother Lin Shu, don't blame me for going out and telling all these things you did!" I'm your daughter, do you see if people believe what I say!? Mom, you have to have a basic conscience! β
Zeng Rong didn't expect that a Lin Shu would rush out horizontally, and she didn't expect Lin Shu to run out to give Chen Mingxue a head, so she was stunned for a moment - she dared to beat and scold Chen Mingxue, but at this moment, she didn't dare to do anything to Lin Shu, so she froze.
Lin Jinhua was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Xiao Shu...... I thought you weren't coming? β
Lin Shu said: "Can you let go of Chen Mingxue first?" Aunt Zeng, she is your own daughter, even if she is not happy that you remarry and make a little trouble, you will not beat her like this in public, right? β
Zeng Rong didn't expect this kid to reverse black and white so lightly, and said it as if it was her fault, and her heart was suddenly stabbed, but a smile reluctantly appeared on her face, and said, "It's really your sister who is too ignorant...... Xiao Shu, you don't understand, this kid just doesn't fight and doesn't obeyβ"
Lin Shu thought to himself that a sensible little girl like Chen Mingxue would make such a fuss, not because you are too disrespectful. But on the surface, he didn't say it, but asked: "But Auntie, instead of teaching Chen Mingxue now, it's better for you to change your clothes first, right?" It's still a wedding. β
When he said this, he glanced at the dirt on Zeng Rong's body with disgusted eyes, which made Zeng Rong's face change involuntarily, and he didn't care about Chen Mingxue, so he hurriedly pulled Lin Jinhua to the side and walked back to the exit.
After Chen Mingxue heard Zeng Rong's sentence "your sister", she frowned and began to look at Lin Shu with a vigilant gaze.
Lin Shu stretched out his hand to her and said, "You come down first." β
Chen Mingxue's body was also dirty at this time, and it was more colorful than Lin Jinhua and Zeng Rong, because in addition to the large basin of mixed drinks she poured on Lin Jinhua before, she also had a lot of dishes and sauces that were knocked over by Zeng Rong when she grabbed and scolded her.
Chen Mingxue didn't reach out to hold his hand, but climbed down from the table a little awkwardly, and then said, "I don't have a brother!" I don't know you either! β
She doesn't admit any brothers and sisters.
Lin Shu said: "I don't want to be your brother at all. But I think we can be friends...... Because our position is the same. β
Chen Mingxue thought hard for a while before she understood what Lin Shu meant, and asked, "Don't you want them to get married either?" β
Lin Shu said: "...... No. It's that I hate them too. β
He still thinks that these two guys are saving others by getting married.
Chen Mingxue was suddenly curious and asked, "...... Do you hate your dad? β
Lin Shu replied affirmatively: "Yes, because he failed my mother." β
Chen Mingxue listened and was silent for a while before asking, "Is your mother a good person?" β
"She's a nice, nice person."
Chen Mingxue didn't speak for a long time, and finally said with a depressed expression: "My father is also a very good person, so I hate her!" I hate her! She's my mother...... How could she be with someone else's dad!? β
As she spoke, she covered her face and began to cry.
Zeng Rong's heavy slap just now didn't make her cry, but such a question made the girl sad and burst into tears.
Lin Shu was also silent for a while.
He had no way to tell Chen Mingxue a very deep truth, no matter how transparent and smart Chen Mingxue was many years later, she was just a little girl at this time. Lin Shu couldn't tell her about the inferiority of human nature, about the cruelty and viciousness of this world - sometimes if you are not a good person, you will meet a good person, on the contrary, many times, the better you are, the easier it is to meet a bad person.
To maintain this goodness, sometimes they need to be stronger and more determined than the bad guys.
In the end, he just said, "Where's your dad?" Why did you come here alone? β
Chen Mingxue thought for a long time before saying, "My father didn't let me come, I came from school by myself." I just wanted to come over and ask my mom why she didn't want me and dad anymore. β
But instead of asking questions, you went to find a large platter, poured a lot of drinks, and poured my dad all over him.
Lin Shu had a black line on his head and complained in his heart.
But in the end, he didn't blame Chen Mingxue for this matter, but said to Chen Mingxue when Lin Jinhua and Zeng Rong were about to appear: "My father and your mother may be coming back." Come with me first! Let's go outside and say. β
Chen Mingxue frowned, tears welled up in her eyes, her little face wrinkled and she glanced at her head very uncomfortably, then she reached out and grabbed Lin Shu's hand, and ran downstairs with the two.

After leaving the hotel, Chen Mingxue was a little depressed, squatting on the side of the road and crying for a long time.
Lin Shu saw her crying so sadly, although she also felt a little, but she didn't have the same true feelings as her. He looked at Chen Mingxue and cried for a long time, and suddenly felt that he was very cold-blooded.
Or maybe after all these years, he is already an indifferent and numb adult. Even the death of his loved ones can only make him shed a few tears, let alone such an embarrassing separation of life or heart.
Only a child would be so heart-rending and painful, as if the whole world had been lost.
He squatted down, but comforted Chen Mingxue and said, "Don't be too sad...... Even if your mother is married to someone else, she is still your mother. Your blood ties are inseparable. β
Chen Mingxue said: "She doesn't want me anymore!" She doesn't want me anymoreβ"
She screamed so painfully and hoarsely, which made Lin Shu feel a little dumb.
Chen Mingxue was crying on the street with emotion, but it attracted kind-hearted passers-by to come over and ask, "Little girl, what's wrong with you?" β
Lin Shu hurriedly said to the other party: "It's okay, it's just that I quarreled with my mother, and I feel sad." Thank you, Auntie, please don't worry. β
The old aunt said, "Oh, why are you crying? When a mother and daughter, how can there be an overnight feud? Kid, you're her brother, right? Coax your sister quickly, go back and say a good word to her in front of your mother, and you will naturally be reconciled. β
Chen Mingxue heard someone say this, but she gritted her teeth and wiped away her tears, and said, "Auntie, you don't have to worry about me." I'm fine, thank you. Then he stood up.
Seeing her like this, the old aunt comforted her a few more words, and Chen Mingxue replied vaguely before letting the other party leave with confidence.
After the others left, Chen Mingxue still wrinkled her little face and looked at the void for a while. When Lin Shu saw her like this, he asked her, "Do you want to go to my house?" β
Chen Mingxue was stunned for a moment, shook her head suddenly, and said, "I...... I don't want it! I don't want to see your mother! β
She felt guilty.
When Lin Shu heard her say this, he didn't force it. In fact, he didn't think that Liang Yuehua would care about Chen Mingxue's identity, because Lin Jinhua was simply derailed by inertia, and Zeng Xue was just good at seizing the opportunity...... She may not be the reason why Liang Yuehua and Lin Jinhua's marriage is broken.
But when Chen Mingxue said this, Lin Shu felt that he was a little rash and abrupt. In fact, he wasn't quite sure if Liang Yuehua really wouldn't care about this kind of thing.
In the end, he just invited Chen Mingxue to have a hot drink, and then sent her home.
After that, Lin Shu talked to Liang Yuehua about it, and after Liang Yuehua heard it, he said for a while: "Xiao Shu, you have done a good job in this matter." Although she is Zeng Rong's daughter, she is a victim just like you, and you don't have to be prejudiced against her because of Zeng Rong's relationship. β
Then she said: "I didn't expect Zeng Rong to be so ruthless that she could leave her daughter and run away with that bastard." Children are the flesh of their mother's heart...... If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to leave you even if I didn't get divorced. β
Lin Shu heard Liang Yuehua say this, but he reached out and hugged his mother, and shouted, "Mom." β
Liang Yuehua said: "This girl is quite temperamental, I hope she will not become like her mother in the future." β
No, it won't. Lin Shu thought that Chen Mingxue would not become Zeng Rong, just like Lin Shu would not become Lin Jinhua. Sometimes, it is because parents are that kind of people that children will always be vigilant, and they will not be the same person no matter what.
After that, it's the May holidays.
By the end of April, the popularity of the future platform was getting higher and higher, and it slowly overtook Feixin Games.
This is something that most people can't believe, but it just happened. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the whole thing is not as incredible as expected, because the future engine is much better than the Feixin engine.
In terms of publicity and promotion, perhaps the strength of the future engine is far from catching up with the Feixin engine, and even every publicity cost must be carefully calculated, so it is necessary to ensure the highest cost performance. However, in terms of reputation, the Fetion engine is quite a distance away from the future engine, and the evaluation of the two engines and the two platforms on the Internet is also heaven and earth.
At the same time, Xingze's evidence collection for game plagiarism has almost come to an end. Although as a game setting, it is difficult to judge plagiarism in many contents, but Xingze finally decided to formally sue.
During this time, Lin Shu's attitude was not very nervous, but Ju Mingfeng still felt that he was nervous a lot. So in order to ease Lin Shu's feelings, he thought about it for a while, and finally came up with an idea.
On the morning of the first day of the holiday, when Lin Shu was invited to Ju Mingfeng's apartment as a guest, he was greeted by Ju Mingfeng wearing a pink apron with a rabbit pattern as soon as he entered the door.
Lin Shu: "......"
Ju Mingfeng was completely unconscious. I don't know if the apron on his body was bought by himself or Zheng Fangcheng, in short, it looks very sweet and cute, which makes Lin Shu feel as if he has returned to the beginning.
ββWhen Ju Mingfeng pounded food every day to test Lin Shu's gastrointestinal function.
In all fairness, Ju Mingfeng's knife work has always been good, and what is really worthy and must be complained about is actually his exuberant but freewheeling curiosity when cooking. He is always trying to develop new dishes...... In fact, he often only develops new "exotic dishes".
However, after Lin Shu entered the house that day, he first went to the kitchen to take a look at it, and also tasted the prepared sauce, feeling that the taste seemed to be within the acceptable range of human beings, but he was a little relieved.
He didn't want to eat any egg yolk oyster sauce sauce at all - would he be able to challenge the limits of human taste?
In addition, Ju Mingfeng, who is wearing an apron, is actually quite cute, especially Ju Mingfeng at this age who doesn't dare to take off his shirt and pants to play with an apron under Zheng Fangcheng's nose...... That alone makes people feel so much more at ease.
The lunch at noon was decent, and then it was the highlight of Ju Mingfeng's arrangement. He rummaged through the room for a long time, and found a box.
When Lin Shu opened the box, he was stunned.
Inside the box is a set of pop-up books, all the color pictures seem to be hand-drawn one stroke at a time, and the paintings are all the things that Lin Shu has done since he was reborn.
At the beginning of the story, it started when Ju Mingfeng appeared at the door of Lin Shu's house. Then Ju Mingfeng met Du Sitong, everyone started a company together, Zheng Fangcheng appeared, and Bai Miao joined......
It's not really a picture book, because the plot is so incoherent that no one can understand what it's talking about, except for the main characters in the album.
However, it records the big and small stories that Lin Shu has traveled along the way, the many people he has met, and the various problems and obstacles he has experienced. Lin Shu looked at this album, but he was a little emotional.
Ju Mingfeng said: "Although it is a little late, it is a birthday gift for you...... I'll make you a book like this every year in the future, okay? β
Lin Shu's nose suddenly soured, and said, "Mingfeng......"
ββWhy are you so kind to him? Lin Shu felt that he didn't know how to reciprocate at all.
Ju Mingfeng said: "Every year, every year...... When we all have gray hair and can't walk, Lin Shu, as long as we look at these booklets, we will remember all the time we spent together......"
Lin Shu said: "A life is too long...... Have you ever thought that maybe I'd die in a flying accident halfway through? None of us knows...... How long can you live in this life? β
Ju Mingfeng listened, but looked at Lin Shu with some consternation. Lin Shu has never been a very pessimistic person - a person who is pessimistic and complaining all day long cannot do what Lin Shu once did.
But Lin Shu's sentence is really full of pessimism.
After Ju Mingfeng was stunned for a moment, he said: "If you die from the flying disaster...... he thought about it, and said honestly, "I will be crazy." β
Lin Shu didn't expect Ju Mingfeng to come up with such a sentence, and he was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer.
Ju Mingfeng stretched out his hand to hug Lin Shu's neck, half-hung on him and said, "I think no matter when you die, as long as you die in front of me, I am very likely to go crazy." But Lin Shu, I will never die in front of you, because if you die in front of me, I will definitely catch up soon...... But if I die before you, maybe in the next life we will be separated by half a lifetime...... You're not going to chase me. β
Lin Shu listened and was silent for a long time before suddenly saying, "...... I also want to live and die with you. β
Ju Mingfeng listened, but looked up at Lin Shu in shock.
Lin Shu continued: "...... But I wouldn't choose to kill myself. I will never choose to end myself in my life, so Mingfeng, let's live together and live to grow old naturally. At that time, it doesn't matter if you die first or I die first...... The other can catch up quickly. β
Ju Mingfeng listened, but the corners of his eyes were glowing with a hint of fluorescence, and he said solemnly: "Okay." β
It was rare for him to speak so softly.
Then it's time for the afternoon.
In the afternoon, the two went to Xingze Company together, and then they heard news from the technical department, saying that the advanced version of the intelligent system has finally taken shape, and they are currently planning to reintegrate it into Tianqing Niang, and make zuΓ² out of the advanced version of Tianqing Niang.
Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng heard the news, but they hurriedly walked towards the technical department.
After arriving at the technical department, Lin Shu found that Bai Chiwen's desk was simply full of people. After finally squeezing through, Lin Shu saw the vivid 3D version of Tianqing Niang in front of the computer screen.
It's still a three-headed Tianqing Niang, but the whole temperament seems to be different. Her big flexible eyes twirled and turned, looking at the crowd off the screen with a playful energy, and she blinked.
It's like there's life.
