Chapter 34
On the night she met Xie Jiayi, Lin Qiao received a call from the other party, and Xie Jiayi asked her to have dinner together, of course, without Shen Qingzhou. Pro() or search can be ohωω.? ωχ?. σяg Are you still watching today? (pro, ())
She told Lin Qiao very clearly that she didn't want Shen Qingzhou to know about it, so when Lin Qiao received a call from Shen Qingzhou before going to the appointment, she only said that she was at home, not feeling well, and didn't want to go out.
So, Shen Qingzhou, who was rejected by the other party, glanced at Du Xinling with bad interest, Du Xinling was playing with Xiao Ning on the side, and the three of them were nested on a hospital bed, looking very warm, but they felt a little awkward.
"Let's go out and get something to eat." Shen Qingzhou said.
Du Xinling glanced at him and said, "You can't eat a lot of things now." ”
Xiao Ning immediately echoed: "Dad, you haven't appeared for so long, I thought you were captured by aliens, why don't you care about your body so much, how do you do this Daddy." ”
Shen Qingzhou, who was reprimanded for "how to be someone's father", squinted slightly, raised his hand and stroked Xiao Ning's head, and said in a low voice: "It's Dad who is wrong, he didn't take care of you, and he wants you to worry." ”
Xiao Ning was pleased by his good confession attitude, and said with a smile: "It's okay, who made you my father." ”
The child didn't remember anything before he was three years old, and Xiao Ning remembered very few shadows of his parents, in his opinion, Shen Qingzhou was his biological father, he relied on him like this, and he never really fulfilled the responsibility of being a father, which made him feel very guilty.
So, the offer to go out to dinner was rejected.
The dinner here is in the soup, but Lin Qiao's dinner has just begun. I don't know if Xie Jiayi did it on purpose, the meeting place she made an appointment was Qin Muyao's hotel, Lin Qiao wanted her to change places, but she couldn't say anything when the words came to her lips.
Standing at the intersection for a long time, Lin Qiao had been thinking in her heart about how to greet Qin Muyao if she met her, she had done a long time of psychological construction before she dared to go in, but when she really met Qin Muyao, she realized that no matter how good she was, it was useless, no matter how good she was, it wouldn't work.
There is a large courtyard outside the front hall of the hotel, and there is a bamboo forest in the corner of the courtyard, where there is a small reception area, where there are several fine solid wood chairs and coffee tables, and Qin Muyao sits on one of the chairs. He was no longer the same clothes she had worn when she had seen him before, and when he heard a noise in the doorway, he habitually swept over, his face often smiling with a blank expression.
Lin Qiao stood in place and looked at him for two seconds, then stepped forward and took the initiative to greet him: "Senior Qin, we met again so soon." ”
Qin Muyao stood up, put his hands into his pants pockets, looked down at her and said, "You came to me?" There was disbelief in his tone.
Lin Qiao shook his head, and just as he was about to explain, Xie Jiayi walked out of the front hall.
She saw that the two were talking, and there was a look on her face.
"She's my guest." Xie Jiayi walked over and said to Qin Muyao, "You are the owner of this shop?" ”
Qin Muyao shouldn't know Xie Jiayi either, so he nodded coldly and said, "I'm in for a treat tonight, and the two of you eat and drink well." With that, he passed between her and Lin Qiao and left without looking back.
Lin Qiao knew that she and Qin Muyao would no longer be able to get along as well as before.
Xie Jiayi looked at the regret on Lin Qiao's face, the smile on the corner of his mouth expanded, and said gently: "Let's go, free dinner, eat more." ”
Lin Qiao retracted his gaze and pulled out a stiff smile at her, and said with his chin bowed, "Okay, aunt, please first." She politely reached out and made a "please" gesture.
Xie Jiayi entered as good as she could, Lin Qiao followed behind her, and they didn't go far before they were stopped by the lobby manager of the hotel.
The manager said politely: "Excuse me, two ladies, just now Mr. Qin instructed that the private room of the two of them should be transferred to the Peony Hall." ”
Xie Jiayi frowned slightly when she heard this, and the lobby manager saw her hesitation, and immediately said: "Madam, don't get me wrong, the Peony Hall is the best room in our hotel, the environment there is quiet, suitable for conversation, and it is much better than the private room you have set now." ”
These words hit Lin Qiao's heart, and she lowered her head weakly, brushing the long hair in her ears behind her ears, not wanting to be seen her expression.
Xie Jiayi heard what the manager said, and said secretly: "This is the kindness of the boss, and we have no reason to shirk it, do you say yes, Miss Lin?" ”
Lin Qiao was forcibly taken out, and he had to raise his head and smile forcibly: "Yes, let's go over." ”
The lobby manager didn't see the delicate relationship between them, and said bluntly: "Miss Lin is a frequent visitor to us here, and our Qin is always Miss Lin's senior, and she is in the Peony Hall every time she comes. ”
Xie Jiayi chuckled indistinctly, she covered her lips elegantly and followed the lobby manager, Lin Qiao stood in place and looked at their backs, and did not lift his steps for a long time.
Xie Jiayi noticed that she didn't follow, turned around and beckoned to her, and said kindly: "Miss Lin, why are you still standing there stupidly, come on." ”
Lin Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, followed hard, and entered the Peony Hall with Xie Jiayi.
The lobby manager left after sending people off, he went back to report the situation to Qin Muyao, Qin Muyao flipped through the bill on the computer, and said without replying: "Go get busy." ”
"Yes, Mr. Qin."
After leaving, Qin Muyao put down the mouse in his hand and leaned on the back of the chair, looking up at the ceiling with his fingers crossed, his eyes unfocused.
Fang Cai's attitude towards Lin Qiao, in fact, Qin Muyao was not comfortable. Because he confessed his feelings, it seemed that there was no suitable reason for them to continue socializing, and it was difficult for even the most ordinary friends to be. He couldn't stand the scene where she stood in front of others and smiled at herself, and there seemed to be no better ending between them except to turn their faces.
And on this side, Lin Qiao, who was full of delicacies in front of him, felt uncomfortable, on the one hand, because he really lost his friend, and on the other hand, because of the conversation with Xie Jiayi.
Xie Jiayi didn't hide anything, and picked out the theme very bluntly: "Miss Lin, that Mr. Qin just now has a lot to do with you." ”
Her tone was very affirmative, so that Lin Qiao didn't know how to explain it for a while, but said, "We are very good friends." ”
Xie Jiayi smiled: "Friend? No. The way he looks at you is when he looks at a lover, and the two of you are definitely not friends. ”
As the saying goes, ginger is still old and spicy, and it is not a smart idea to hide it from the elderly.
When Lin Qiao heard her say this, she didn't say much, in front of Xie Jiayi, the less she said, the less wrong she was.
Xie Jiayi was not annoyed by her silence, and turned back to the topic: "Actually, I came to tell you something today, it's not that I don't want you to be our daughter-in-law, but I want to tell you a story, if you are still willing to be with Qingzhou after listening to it, then I won't stop you." ”
Lin Qiao put down his chopsticks and made a deferential appearance.
Xie Jiayi took a sip of the water cup, smiled and said: "You should be able to see that I was a very strong person when I was young, my own company, my own family, I have to make my own decisions, I am arrogant, and no one looks down on me, even Qingzhou's father." ”
Lin Qiao squinted slightly, feeling that the topic was a bit dangerous.
Sure enough, Xie Jiayi continued: "I was in a similar situation to you at that time, Qingzhou's personality was exactly the same as his father, and his father saw that I didn't take him seriously, and he was capable and beautiful, so he pursued me just like Qingzhou pursued you." ”
Lin Qiao lowered his head and drank water to hide his embarrassment.
Xie Jiayi looked at her and said in a very kind tone: "Men, it's all like this, they are born with a desire to conquer, which is understandable." "Slightly paused, she said softly, "You don't know who Qingzhou's father is, you should have heard that he is a legend in your industry, that is, he is a jealous talent, and he died too early." ”
Hearing her say this, Lin Qiao couldn't help but guess in his heart, what are they doing? Doing business? The father who is in business has a son who is a feng shui gentleman, and no matter how you look at it, it is not compatible.
Xie Jiayi solved the riddle for her: "Qingzhou's father is Shen Yinming. ”
Lin Qiao's eyes widened when he heard this, and blurted out, "It's him?" ”
Xie Jiayi smiled: "Surprised? You shouldn't have been born when he died. ”
Lin Qiao said softly: "Yes, but I have a lot of books about my uncle at home, and my father used to be very obsessed with his biography, and he used to tell me about it when I was young. She scratched her face, a little embarrassed, "My dad is a fan of my uncle. ”
"It was all written by someone else, and it was false and real, and it cannot be trusted." Xie Jiayi said with a demeanor, "Just like his son, isn't there a word in the book." ”
“…… Well, there is no mention of his son and wife in the book, and he has not seen it in the news. Lin Qiao said truthfully.
Xie Jiayi's face brought a look of memory: "When I divorced him back then, I clearly told him that I would have nothing to do with him in the future, and any news about him, no matter what form it takes, I don't want to hang it with my name anymore." ”
Lin Qiao looked at her in slight surprise, as if he didn't expect her to be so ruthless.
Xie Jiayi didn't care and said: "If you know why I divorced him, you won't think I'm ruthless." ”
Lin Qiao said unconsciously: "Why? ”
Xie Jiayi didn't hide it, and said succinctly: "He doesn't like me anymore." ”
Lin Qiao sat there in a daze, she hadn't forgotten Xie Jiayi's previous words, her marriage with Shen Yinming was very similar to herself and Shen Qingzhou.
When Xie Jiayi saw her like this, he didn't care, and continued: "When he caught up with me, we got married quickly, and after we got married, the children came quickly, and then it was firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and trivial things in life. His parents died early, my parents were also long gone, the two of us raised Qingzhou alone, he worked late every day, I was so tired of being busy alone, I must have complained to him, and then, you should have guessed it. She spread her hands and said, "Shen Yinming told me that he didn't expect me to be the same as other women, and he was disappointed in me. ”
Lin Qiao opened her lips slightly, wanting to say something to comfort her, but she felt that she didn't need anyone to comfort her.
"You also know what happened later, we divorced, Qingzhou was only two years old at the time, he didn't remember, he didn't fight with me for children, he still has a conscience at this point, and he gave a lot of alimony, I took Qingzhou abroad, and at the end of that year, we were notified by a mutual friend that he died, and the inheritance was given to Qingzhou." Xie Jiayi said slowly, "I am not short of money, and my property will also belong to my son in the future, so I have no opinion on his distribution." I transferred his company to someone else, and I didn't have the heart to run the property he left behind, but I would not refuse the money he left behind, and I would leave it to me and his son. She emphasized, "You see, men are all the same, and Shen Yinming is not hopeless, at least when he died, he still knew that he had a son." At this, her eyes flushed slightly.
Lin Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Mr. Shen, he'...... Maybe he had to suffer. ”
Xie Jiayi couldn't help laughing when she heard her say this: "What can he do, to be honest, the only thing I didn't expect was that he would die so early." ”
"Why did Mr. Shen pass away? He's still so young. Lin Qiao asked suspiciously.
Xie Jiayi was silent for a while and said, "I didn't ask him about the reason for his death, and I don't want to know, since the day I signed the divorce with him, everything about him has nothing to do with me." ”
"......"
Lin Qiao had something to say, but Xie Jiayi directly interrupted her: "Miss Lin, I told you so much, naturally it's not really just for you to listen to the story, you should be aware that Qingzhou and you are in the same situation as me and his father back then, so I want to advise you to make sure if he really loves you before making a decision, otherwise you will regret it in the future." ”
She stood up, looked at Lin Qiao seriously and said: "I'm for the good of the two of you, it's hard to run a marriage, if there is no love, just like, even if you are together, you will be separated, I don't want you to waste your youth and feelings on each other, that's it, goodbye." After she finished speaking, she waved her hand in a dashing manner and left the place without looking back.
Lin Qiao sat on the chair in a daze, constantly recalling her last few words in her mind, and kept asking herself in her heart, does Shen Qingzhou love her? Judging by what he said to her today, he at least liked her, but what about love? Can she trust him? Can a relationship caused by rejection really last forever once everything becomes submissive?
At the same time, with Xie Jiayi's departure, Qin Muyao appeared outside the Peony Hall, and Shen Qingzhou, who was far away in the hospital, changed out of his hospital gown after seeing off Du Xinling and Xiao Ning, and took a taxi to Lin Mansion regardless of the doctor's instructions.
Lin Qiao sat in the private room for a while and then got up to leave, she opened the door and saw Qin Muyao, and was immediately startled.
"There was a brawl at the street just now, your car was affected, you were having dinner with friends, I didn't let people quarrel with you, I helped you call a tow truck to repair it." Qin Muyao said expressionlessly, "You won't blame me for being arrogant." ”
How could Lin Qiao blame him, shook his head and said, "How come, it's too late for me to thank you." ”
Qin Muyao said: "There are indeed many things that you want to thank me, but I'm afraid there is no chance to thank me." ”
Lin Qiao's eyebrows froze, and his hand holding the shoulder strap of the backpack tightened.
"Actually, it's not nothing." Qin Muyao suddenly said again, "If you want to thank me, let me send you home." As if he was afraid that she would refuse, he explained, "Just to send you home, I won't even talk to you, how about it." ”
Lin Qiao lowered his head, hesitated for a while, but still agreed to his request.
There are some things that I really can't not listen to, and there are some requests that I can't disagree with.
Qin Muyao's posture was so low, if she still refused, she would really have no conscience.
The most important thing for a man is face, she can't hit him twice in a day, and he is indeed right, after so many years, there are too many things she needs to thank him, and she has no reason or qualification to refuse.
Lin Qiao followed Qin Muyao into his black Lingzhi, and the car drove all the way to the Lin Mansion, and the car was so quiet that only the breathing of the two of them was heard.
At this moment, outside the door of Lin Mansion, Shen Qingzhou got out of the taxi and wanted to call Lin Qiao with his mobile phone.
He had already pressed the number, but he paused again and glanced at the garage, where the door was open, and there was only Lin Huiming's car inside, and it seemed that she hadn't come back yet.
Because she was worried about affecting her work, Shen Qingzhou finally gave up calling and decided to wait for her at the door.
