Chapter 146: Yu Lin's Prayer
This is a coffee shop called "Grinding Time", which is located in the east corner of the eighteenth floor of the Fortune Building. The environment is elegant and elegantly decorated. People who come here for leisure and consumption are all dressed fashionably and look extraordinary.
Zhang Zhan and Yu Lin sat down in this coffee shop, and the seats they chose were leaning against the corners, so that no one would disturb them and they could talk about something.
Soon the coffee ordered by the two of them was delivered, and Yu Lin ordered a coffee with an English name, which Zhang Zhan had never heard of. And Zhang Zhan himself is a little clichΓ©, ordering the kind of Blue Mountain that is about to rot on the street.
After the waiter left, the corner of the coffee shop seemed quiet. Zhang Zhan didn't speak, and began to add sugar and partner to his cup of coffee, and Yu Lin was not in a hurry to say anything, just silently staring at the cup of coffee in front of her.
A minute or so passed quickly, and Zhang Zhan finished everything that should have been put here, picked up the small spoon, and began to stir slowly in the coffee cup. Yu Lin asked him out tonight, he must have something to say. But now that she didn't speak first, Zhang Zhan was naturally not in a hurry. After the coffee was stirred, he picked it up and took a shallow sip. The taste feels okay, it should be a more authentic Blue Mountain coffee.
At this moment, Yu Lin, who was sitting opposite Zhang Zhan, glanced at Zhang Zhan, who had already drunk coffee again, smiled, and said, "How is it?" The taste is still authentic, right? β
Zhang Zhan put down the cup with a smile and said, "I'm a poor teacher, but I don't pay so much attention." For me, all coffees taste the same. β
Yu Lin smiled when she heard this, and immediately took a sip of her own cup of coffee. Zhang Zhan noted. She didn't add anything to that cup of coffee, so she drank it like this, didn't it taste very bitter?
After taking a sip, Yu Lin put down the quilt. glanced at Zhang Zhan and said, "Along the way, until now, you haven't asked me what I am looking for you." Have you already guessed it? β
Zhang Zhan smiled slightly and said, "Probably, is it related to your aunt's matter?" β
Yu Lin sighed. He smiled wryly, "I guessed right." It's about my aunt. β
Zhang Zhan pursed his lips, and while smiling bitterly in his heart, he said, "I really don't know anything about this matter. You called me out. I can't help you with anything. β
Yu Lin groaned. looked at Zhang Zhan and said, "You can." Of all the people I know, you're the only one who has dealings with my aunt and isn't wary of her. You can learn from her about what I want to know. It's up to you to do me a favor or not. β
As soon as Yu Lin said this, Zhang Zhan understood what her idea was. It turned out that she wanted him to ask Qi Jenny who the so-called man was, and then tell her the news he had heard.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with this, and this could be regarded as a way to pursue Yu Lin. Try to help her as much as possible, so as to gain her favor for herself, which is conducive to his further actions in the future.
But the problem is that Qi Jenni's so-called man is Zhang Zhan himself! This is an impossible task, you can't tell Yu Lin the truth of the matter, right?
So Zhang Zhan could only smile bitterly: "It's no problem to help you, but my relationship with your aunt is average, how could she tell me such a private thing?" Besides, aren't your aunt and your uncle divorced? Even if she has another man now, it is above board and does not violate morality and the law, right? Do you know what's the use of all this, can you still go to court and sue them? β
Hearing this, Yu Lin's face also showed a wry smile. After taking another sip of coffee, she said, "To tell you the truth, I don't care about this matter." Whether my aunt has a man or not, what does it matter to me? But my grandmother and my mom didn't think so. They were single-minded about getting my aunt back together with my uncle. One of the main reasons is because of Xiaobin, a child. He is so pitiful that he does not have a healthy family environment for him to grow up. This is very bad for a child. β
Zhang Zhan sighed, thinking that this was the case. It is also true that when parents divorce, the most pitiful thing is the children. Not being able to grow up in a family with sound parents at such a young age is indeed harmful to the child's physical and mental health. Xiaobin's child is only twelve or thirteen years old, which is the age of being lively and active. But he was introverted and taciturn. Not to mention that this character is all caused by the divorce of his parents, I'm afraid there are also some reasons, right?
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhan couldn't help but be curious about Xiaobin's father. What was the reason for the breakdown of his relationship with Qi Zhenni and their divorce? And because of what, he would give up custody of his son?
So Zhang Zhan asked, "Is this just your grandmother and your mother's idea?" What about your uncle? What does he personally think? β
Speaking of his uncle, Yu Lin sighed lightly again and said, "My uncle, my heart is naturally willing to get back together. But he didn't have the face to take the initiative to bring it up to my aunt, so we relatives and family members had to help him. And because in our family, only I have a good relationship with my aunt, so the task of matching them falls to me. Alas, I'm so busy with work, and I'm so busy with this matter, it's really hard! β
Looking at Yu Lin's sad face, Zhang Zhan couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and after thinking about it, he said: "It is naturally a good thing to be able to match your uncle and aunt to reunite, so that Xiaobin can have a warm and healthy family." But then again, I don't think your aunt seems to be interested in remarrying. After all, twisted melons are not sweet, even if you force them back together through hard work. But the once broken relationship is not so easy to repair. In case they continue to quarrel after being together, it will not be conducive to the child's growth, right? β
Yu Lin sighed: "Who said it wasn't? My uncle broke my aunt's heart back then. It's really not easy for them to give up their old hatreds and get back together. Now, it's even more so that my aunt is likely to have fallen in love with another man, and it's even harder to want her to turn back. β
Hearing this, Zhang Zhan's heart moved, and he immediately asked, "By the way, how did you know that your aunt now has a man?" Is it hearsay, or is it what you see with your own eyes? β
Yu Lin raised his head and glanced at Zhang Zhan and said, "I guess!" β
Zhang Zhan snorted and said strangely: "Guess? Is there any guess about this kind of thing? β
Yu Lin smiled at this time, raised her hand and brushed the hair on her ear, and said, "Of course, there are also signs, some time ago, because I was busy with work, I haven't been to my aunt for a long time." But when I was done with my free time, my mother began to urge me to come and do my aunt's work again. So I started calling my aunt and asking her out to talk, or I went to meet her. But every time I asked her out, my aunt always said that she was not available. It's not that you have to work overtime, or that you have made an appointment with someone else. I know my aunt's work, and I usually have a lot of free time at work, so how can I have to work overtime at night if I can't finish it? Besides, I still believe in dating people once or twice, but there are too many times, isn't that just an excuse? β
Speaking of this, Yu Lin interrupted his speech, picked up his coffee and took another sip. Zhang Zhan didn't speak, just waited quietly for her to finish speaking. Sure enough, after Yu Lin put down the cup, she continued: "So I thought that this was all an excuse for my aunt not to see me, and one night, I went directly to my aunt's house without saying hello. But when I got to her house, I realized that my aunt was really not at home. I thought she would come back later, so I waited at her house. But the nanny Zhang's mother told me that there was no need to wait, because my aunt often came back late late. If you don't make an appointment in advance, you won't be able to come back early. β
Zhang Zhan smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, of course he knew that Qi Zhenni had been away from home for a while now, wasn't it just a tryst with him?
Yu Lin continued: "As soon as I heard it, I wondered, it turned out that what my aunt said was true. I asked Zhang's mother how long she had been in this situation, and Zhang's mother said that it had been more than a month. But it's not every night, and sometimes, she still comes back occasionally for dinner and doesn't go out. Occasionally, do you understand? For more than a month, my aunt came back late almost every night. Whether it's busy at work and working overtime, or asking friends to play together, it can't last so long, right? Zhang Zhan, what do you say? β
Zhang Zhan had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and said, "So you guess that your aunt has a man outside, and she has been with that man every night during this time?" β
Yu Lin took another sip of coffee and said, "Other than that, I can't think of any other reason." My aunt is not yet forty years old, and it has been more than five years since she was divorced. After a long time, it is not impossible to find a man. β
Zhang Zhan rolled his eyes and said, "If there really is such a man, what are you and your family going to do?" β
Yu Lin sighed and said, "I don't know what to do, I have to find out the truth first and determine if there really is such a man, right?" Zhang Zhan, I can only count on you to help me in this matter. I can't help it, my mom and my grandmother urge me to solve this matter every day, and it has already made my eardrums tired. I just want to finish my task quickly and clean up for a while. Of all the people I know, you can approach my aunt and not be wary of her. So, Zhang Zhan, can you help me? Please! β
Looking at Yu Lin's pleading gaze, Zhang Zhan was silent. From what she said just now, he could tell that Yu Lin didn't care at all whether Qi Zhenni really had a man. She just couldn't refuse her family's entrustment, and she had to complete the task as soon as possible.
At this time, if he extended a helping hand, she would definitely be greatly grateful, and maybe she could further gain her favor because of this. This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Zhang Zhan, who wants to pursue her.
However, the man who is so good to die is Qi Zhenni's man who is precisely Zhang Zhan himself. This made it difficult for Zhang Zhan, and he was unwilling to refuse, and maybe he was disappointed by Lin, and since then he has been estranged from him.
But if you promise to help her, won't you betray yourself? (To be continued......)
