Chapter 12: Heartbreak
Lingche followed Xiang Ke's instructions and came to his half-level villa. The community reclined quietly in the center of the city, Ling Che had heard before that many wealthy businessmen liked to make their homes here, and it seemed that Xiang Ke had indeed accumulated a lot of savings over the years. Ling Che couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, even so, he still didn't forget to help those most vulnerable people fight for fairness and justice, which is the most rare thing about Xiang Ke.
Nervously knocked on the door, and the butler invited Lingche in.
Xiang Ke was lying on the sofa, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, looking at Lingche quietly, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Sit down." ”
Lingche found a corner and sat down, a hint of uneasiness welling up in his heart.
"Tell me first, what's the matter?" Xiang Ke Chong smiled at her, like a warm morning sun.
"Brother, is this it?" Shen Sijia's sweet voice came, and she slowly walked down from the upstairs with a photo album in her hand, and when she saw Ling Che, she was slightly surprised: "You are a guest." ”
"Hmm." Xiang Ke nodded and said solemnly, "She is Su Lingche." Lingche, this is Shen Sijia. ”
"I'm glad I will." Shen Sijia walked over with a smile, took Ling Che's hand, and asked, "Ling Che, I've heard of you a long time ago." ”
Ling Che remembered Xiao Min and Xinxin's speculation, and instantly forgot Dahua's words, and became more and more cramped and uneasy: "Miss Shen, hello." ”
"It's good if you call me Sijia." Shen Sijia was not polite, but her face was still smiling. "If you have something, talk slowly, I'll go in first."
"No, it's not." Lingche muttered.
"What doesn't, what isn't?" Xiang Ke frowned and looked at Ling Che: "Don't you have something to say to me?" ”
"I, yes, my mom agreed not to force me to go on a blind date anymore, she already knows that we are not really dating anymore, so we don't have to pretend to be dating anymore in the future." Ling Che said quietly, she wanted to ask tentatively, can we try to really date, but seeing Shen Sijia's beautiful face, she couldn't speak, and swallowed those words when they came to her mouth.
Xiang Ke's face became more and more gloomy, and after a long time, he said tiredly: "You came all the way here to tell me this?" ”
Lingche was speechless, and stood there quietly, the prepared lines had long been forgotten.
"I see." Xiang Ke Jingjing said: "That's fine, you can go." Sijia, help me send off a guest. ”
"This." Shen Sijia looked at Xiang Ke hesitantly, and then at Ling Che, not knowing what to say.
Lingche gritted her teeth, trying not to let the tears fall, she turned her head, no longer looked at Shen Sijia, and fled from Xiang Ke's house like a fly. She held back her tears while scolding herself: "Su Lingche, you are so unproductive, do you think Xiang Ke will really like you?" Don't daydream anymore! It's all gone, it's all gone! "It's just that in the future, how should I face Xiang Ke? Lingche's mind was very chaotic, but he kept complaining in his heart that Dahua shouldn't have opened the most secret layer of white veil in his heart, and the wound was exposed outside, and it hurt raw.
Lingche wanted to pretend that nothing was going on and do his job seriously. It turned out that her worries were completely overwhelmed, as a low-level staff, she rarely had the opportunity to see Xiang Ke, let alone when Xiang Ke deliberately avoided it. Deliberately avoiding it, at least Lingche herself thinks so, in the past, she could also participate in their discussion of some less important cases as an observer, but now, such an opportunity is also deprived, and she even has very few opportunities to help Zhang Yi, let alone contact Xiang Ke directly. In my spare time, I get together with Xiaomin to listen to the gossip of my colleagues, and there are countless lace news every day. In the past, when I was in the middle of these news, I was afraid that others would notice a clue, but now I am far away from Xiang Ke, but I miss the past time.
"Nostalgia? Su Lingche, your head is really squeezed by the door! Lingche secretly scolded himself in his heart, don't think nonsense anymore, just do your own job! She was more strict with herself than usual, and only occasionally heard her colleagues whispering about Xiang Ke's cheeks, which involuntarily turned crimson. She also gradually realized this change in herself, many things, the more she tried to avoid it, the more she couldn't avoid it.
Lingxi caught the wind from somewhere, and made a special trip to see Lingche at night. "You and Lawyer Xiang, what's going on?"
"It never started, so what can it be?" Ling Che said lightly.
"Never started?" Lingxi looked surprised.
"Actually, that's not a bad thing." Mother Su sighed: "Xiang Ke is a good boy, but in his current situation, it is not suitable for Lingling to be with him." ”
"Lingling, do you also mind the case that the lawyer is investigating now? Everyone in our company hails him as a hero. Lingxi sighed lightly.
"Can heroes be eaten? Hero? If Lingling's father hadn't been a hero, our family wouldn't have ended up where they are now. "There was a hint of redness in my mother's eyes.
"Mom." Lingche interrupted his mother's words and smiled gratefully at Lingxi: "What's the point of me minding or not minding?" In the end, it's just wishful thinking. ”
Lingxi nodded: "Actually, I still like Xiang Ke a lot." She suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and her face suddenly turned red, "I mean, if you weren't together, would you mind if I went after Ke?" ”
"Xixi, are you crazy? Lingling just jumped out of that fire pit, why did you jump into it again? Mother Su looked at Lingxi incredulously.
Lingxi smiled embarrassedly, the expression on her face was like that of a girl who was just beginning to fall in love: "Actually, I have secretly liked Xiang Ke for many years. rejected so many people, and in the end I found that he couldn't let go of him the most. That's why there will be a little gaffe at Grandpa's birthday banquet that day. Lingling, I really didn't want to grab a boyfriend with you. If you are nice with him, I will smile and bless you. However, if you didn't intend to be together, I want to tell what I have been hiding in my heart for years, even though he doesn't seem to care about my existence at all. ”
Ling Che remembered that night when Lingxi repeatedly wanted to punish Xiang Ke for not remembering himself, and suddenly had an epiphany: "Have you ever had anything between you?" ”
"Nothing." Lingxi smiled embarrassedly: "It's just a kind of blind worship of idols by little girls." Xiang Ke is the kind of person I have always wanted to look for, stick to his dreams, and always excel. Can you understand? ”
Ling Che nodded blankly: "I don't understand what qualifications I have, it's just that sister, if you like someone too much, you may also be sad." Xiang Ke may be in a relationship with Miss Shen of Shengshi Group. ”
"As long as he's not messing with you, I'm going to give it a try." Lingxi smiled: "Others, what does it have to do with me?" ”
Lingche's mother and daughter sent Lingxi away with a stunned face. The mother sighed: "Xixi, this child, is getting more and more amazing. Lingling, when will you have her confidence and courage, I won't have to worry about you. ”
"Mom, you're here again, Su Lingche will never be able to learn what Su Lingxi looks like!" Lingche shouted, for the first time, she somewhat agreed with her mother's point of view, she would never be more confident than Lingxi, she would only shrink in the corner alone, quietly licking her wounds, and she didn't even have the courage to confess.
"Actually, it's good for you to do that." The mother looked at her daughter, and her thoughts drifted into the distance: "Xixi, this child is too strong, maybe it has something to do with her father's death, she always wants to prove something, but she forces herself too hard." ”
But wouldn't it be bitter if you held everything in your heart? Lingche held his head, remembering Lingxi's words, and suddenly felt that he was stupid, why didn't he want to say what he wanted to say clearly? What if it fails? But if you miss it, you missed it after all, Lingxi has already made her position so preconceived, Su Lingche, are you still embarrassed to join this melee? In love, you are always a loser!
