024, the phantom of the mall
Wanda International Mall is located in the center of H City, is the largest shopping mall in the city, here is not only a department store, but also a food center, entertainment center, here will be open until 12 o'clock midnight every day, adding rich resources to the city's nightlife, but also so that people who have no time during the day have a place to relax after work.
This way of doing business in Wanda International Mall makes the turnover at night much higher than the turnover during the day, and people in the industry say that the person who can come up with this way of doing business is a genius.
It's Cheng Hantao's birthday in a few days, and I used to just order him a birthday cake or something, but this year I wanted to give him a gift, so after I repeatedly promised to bring a request, Lin Haoran finally agreed to come to Wanda International Mall with me to choose a gift.
All the way he has a straight face, stinky, after entering the mall, he grabbed my hand tightly, although it was about 10 o'clock, but there are still a lot of people here, upstairs and downstairs crowded, I asked the shopping guide and learned that the counter selling men's products is on the fifth floor, I and Lin Haoran went all the way to the fifth floor, where I looked at the well-known brands that are usually only seen on the Internet and TV.
But to be honest, I think men's clothing is really the same, there are generally so few, anyway, I don't plan to buy clothes for Cheng Hantao, so it's just a skimming.
After we turned around twice on the fifth floor, Lin Haoran finally got impatient, he pulled me and pointed to the counter selling accessories, "I can buy a tie, my head is about to dizzy." ”
I stuck out my tongue and walked quickly to the counter where the tie was sold, and picked up the tie.
But seriously, I really didn't study men's ties at all, and I didn't see much difference between them, so I picked them up one after another, and I still didn't choose them after looking at them for a long time, and in the end I had to ask Lin Haoran for help.
He didn't look at me with a cold face, so I carefully pulled the corner of his clothes, and asked with both hands, and the salesman on the side thought I was mentally ill, when Lin Haoran also found the salesperson's abnormal gaze, he immediately pointed to a tie I had just chosen, and I immediately took it to the salesperson to let her settle the bill, and then we ran away from the store.
We ran into the car in one breath, and when I sat in the car, I started laughing, Lin Haoran looked at me helplessly and laughed, it seems that the two of us should go out less, otherwise I will really let others treat me as a mental illness.
Just when we were about to get off the car, Lin Haoran grabbed my hand, I followed his gaze vigilantly, it turned out that the mall was off work, and the mall that was still brightly lit just now, after turning off the lights, it was so dark, but in the dark kitchen window, we went to see a few white shadows floating by.
Lin Haoran turned his head to look at me slowly, and I could only nod to him honestly, proving that I also saw it.
But we can't confirm anything right now, so I just patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go back first, and we'll see it tomorrow, maybe we're wrong." ”
Lin Haoran nodded, and we drove away.
But on Cheng Hantao's birthday, I met Ms. Lin Xianglan in the law firm.
Her arrival surprised me, because I hadn't seen Mr. Kong since the last time she had happened, and she had come to me this time, which made me even more surprised.
In the reception room, I looked at her quietly, she was still so elegant and noble, but her eyes betrayed her, and she was in a hurry now.
"Ms. Lin, what are you coming to me for today?" I'd better politely ask first.
"Miss Xia, the last time you came to me, it was for Jiahang's business, I should have thanked you afterwards, but I was too busy later, so I didn't come to visit you, please forgive me." Lin Xianglan said euphemistically something that made me feel funny, this may be the inertia of people in the shopping mall, don't talk about things first, first say something nice, and then get to the point.
"Ms. Lin, the previous things have passed, and besides, I was also entrusted by Kong Jiahang, I immediately promised to help him find his mother, and I will do it, which can be regarded as professional ethics." I smiled and nodded to Lin Xianglan.
"You're really a good girl, if it weren't for you, I really didn't know that Jiahang had passed away, thank you so much." Lin Xianglan nodded to me with a smile on her face, but her smile did not reach her eyes, and I could see the anxiety in her eyes.
"Ms. Lin, you didn't come today just to thank me, is there something wrong?" I'll remind her again.
"Miss Xia, I'm so sorry, I really want to ask you to help me, but I really don't know what to say." Lin Xianglan looked at me with some embarrassment.
After I looked at her for a while, I smiled, "Ms. Lin, to be honest, I really don't want to help with such a thing, even if he is in your mall, there must be a reason, how can I forcibly take him away?" ”
"Miss Xia, please help me, this matter has been going on for a while, and now there are already people in the mall, if this matter expands, it will cause a lot of losses to our mall, and it may be closed then." When Lin Xianglan saw that I didn't help, she immediately stepped forward anxiously and took my hand, patiently explaining to me the severity of this matter.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Lin, I'm not a wizard, I can't do this kind of exorcism." When I saw what she was thinking, I angrily withdrew my hand and coldly told her what I thought.
"Miss Xia, if you think about it again, I will give you a generous amount of gold." Lin Xianglan immediately used mall tactics.
I looked at her with a frown, what was she doing? She still thinks I'm a wizard who exorcises demons for money, it's ridiculous.
I didn't give her another chance, I just stood up and saluted her, "I'm sorry, I can't help you." With that, I walked out of the reception room.
When I got home, I was also very depressed, and I wasn't so depressed when I was seen as mentally ill by others, what, how did I become a wizard, and it was the kind that specialized in exorcism.
Sitting in the living room, I was alone with my cheeks held and sulking.
Lin Haoran came down from upstairs and saw that I was angry, he came over and sat next to me, put his arm around my shoulder, and asked with concern: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
"Nope." I replied sullenly.
"Who has such a great ability to make your little wild cat angry, and still angry like this?" Lin Haoran looked at me and touched my hair with a smile.
"What, how did I become a little wild cat again, a wizard or a witch is not enough." I slapped his hand away and pouted in displeasure.
"What? Hag? Says who? Lin Haoran immediately straightened his face, grabbed the hand I was about to leave and pulled me back.
"A lady came today, and she said let me go catch ghosts, but I refused." I simply sued him, because he was really angry right now.
"You didn't sue her, you're not a wizard or witch who exorcises ghosts, you're a soul master." Lin Haoran looked at me seriously.
"I said the first half of the sentence, but I didn't tell her that I was the Soul Crossing Master, I don't think she understood." I cautiously sue him.
"Okay, just sue her, if she doesn't understand, forget it, anyway, let's not drive away any ghosts, I'm sick." Lin Haoran softened his expression and hugged me in his arms, gently comforting me.
I nodded in his arms, and I found that whether I was scared or panicked or upset, as long as I had his hug, I would be very settled and secure, and I thought I was really down, I was really in love with him.
Just as we were about to eat, the doorbell rang, and we all looked at each other in wonder, who could be here so late?
"It must be Li Jianfei." Lin Haoran snorted coldly.
"No, it's all this night, how could it be him?" I looked at Lin Haoran funny, he really had a deep affection for Li Jianfei.
"Who else will he be? He has always been a person who has no sense of time. Lin Haoran sat at the table indignantly.
I sighed and went to open the door.
When I opened the door, I was stunned, how could it be her?
It was not Li Jianfei who stood in front of the door, but Lin Xianglan, who appeared at the law firm in the morning.
Lin Xianglan looked at me with a smile and was stunned, "Miss Xia, can we talk again?" ”
I was pulled back to my senses by Lin Xianglan's words, I sighed, got out of the way, and stretched out my hand into the house, "Come in and talk." ”
Lin Xianglan nodded to me with a smile and walked into the house elegantly.
"Who is it?" At this time, Lin Haoran walked out of the restaurant, and when she saw Lin Xianglan walking in front of him, he was stunned.
I closed the door and turned around to see Lin Haoran standing there with an unbelievable expression on his face, I walked up to him and looked at him, only for a while, I opened my mouth wide, and then covered my mouth tightly with my hand, I was afraid that I would scream.
Because I read a message from Lin Haoran's eyes that made me unbelievable: "Lin Xianglan is Lin Haoran's mother." ”
That means that Lin Haoran is the youngest son of Mr. Kong, and the legal heir of all Mr. Kong's property is Lin Haoran.
When Lin Haoran came back to his senses and saw me covering my mouth and looking at him, he immediately understood, I already knew everything, he stepped forward and took my hand, "Xue'er, don't think too much, okay." ”
I don't know how to answer him because my brain is really messed up.
Lin Xianglan, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, saw that I hadn't gone over yet, so she called me, "Miss Xia, let's talk again, okay?" ”
I forced myself to compose, and after taking a few deep breaths, I walked over to her and sat down.
"Miss Xia, I know that you can communicate with those things, as long as you take them away, I can meet you no matter what conditions you prescribe, you think about it." Lin Xianglan took out the momentum to negotiate in the mall.
"Ms. Lin, as I said, I'm not a witch who exorcises ghosts, you're really looking for the wrong person." I resisted the fluctuation of my heart and tried to stabilize the fluctuations in my tone.
"Miss Xia, how can I believe you when you say that? How do you explain what happened to Jiahang last time, if it weren't for you, how would I know that he had passed away, and if it wasn't for you, how would he leave? Lin Xianglan looked at me with a sneer, she thought I was lying, and the purpose was just not to help her.
"Ms. Lin, the last time Mr. Kong Jiahang happened, I accepted his commission, and I didn't take him away, but he left automatically after fulfilling his wish." There was impatience in my eyes, and Lin Xianglan's thoughts also angered me a little.
"Miss Xia, I know that your parents have passed away, and you are the only one in the family, and you must be very tired for a girl to support such a large family expenses, so ......" said Lin Xianglan and took out a check from her purse and put it in front of me, "I think you can still use this money." ”
"Ms. Lin, what do you mean by that? I, Xia Xiaoxue, are not poor enough to catch ghosts in exchange for money, so please leave here with your check. "I'm really angry, I don't care if she's Lin Haoran's mother or what, because she has touched my bottom line, which makes me unbearable.
"Miss Xia, don't be too desperate in life and work, I hope to see you again in the president's office of the mall." Lin Xianglan stood up with a smile and walked away gracefully.
Tears welled up in my eyes the moment the door was closed, and I slammed up from the couch and ran quickly to the bedroom.
Just when I reached out to open the door of the bedroom, Lin Haoran grabbed me, he hugged me into his arms, and I didn't appreciate it at all and kept struggling in his arms, and scolded loudly, "Who is she, why does she insult me so much, why does she think that she can use money to make me Xia Xiaoxue obey?" Who does she think she is! ”
"I'm sorry, Xue'er, I'm not angry, I'm sorry, Xue'er......" Lin Haoran hugged me tightly, repeating this sentence repeatedly in his mouth.
I pushed Lin Haoran away with all my strength, looked at him with tears on my face, and said in a choked voice, "Lin Haoran, is she your mother?" Why does she think I'm going to help her? Is it because of you? Or is it because of your dead brother? Doesn't she just have a few stinky money? Why did she come to my house and insult me? Why? Is my Xia Xiaoxue so worthless? Even if I'm poor and I don't have any money, I won't catch ghosts for her because of those stinky money, no, absolutely not! ”
"Don't be like this, Xue'er, I didn't, I didn't want you to go, even if you agreed, I won't let you go, listen to me, don't be like this, I really feel heartbroken if you are like this, Xue'er, don't ......be like this" Lin Haoran said as he approached me, and finally grabbed my arm and pulled me back into his arms.
I lost control, I cried loudly in his arms, Lin Haoran didn't say anything, just patted me gently on the back, and let me release my grievances to my heart's content.
That night, we were "**", sleeping in the same bed, he hugged me tightly all night, and I only knew about Lin Haoran this night.
