Xiang Hong, who learned that Chen's mother arranged a blind date for Chen Qingchuan, went to find Chen Lin, now Chen Lin works as a salesperson in a shopping mall, it is noon, and the business is relatively weak, she saw Xiang Hong coming, so she trotted over very happily, held her hand and asked, "Cousin, why are you here?" When she saw that she was dressed in professional attire, she asked, "Don't you want to go to work today?" ”
Xiang Hong said to her, "I have some time, so I came to see you." ”
Chen Lin was very envious and said, "I heard that you were promoted? In the HR department? ”
Xiang Hong smiled and said, "Well, yes. ”
Chen Lin asked, "How do you feel?" Is my brother good to you? ”
When asked about this matter, the smile on Xiang Hong's face was hidden, naturally it was good, but since she entered Fu'an, she had never seen him, she originally thought that she would be able to get along with him day and night when she entered Fu'an, but now it seems that it is all wrong, and it is difficult for her to even see him.
Chen Lin saw Xiang Hong's face with loneliness.
She also understood her intention today, she pulled her to sit down on the sofa next to her, she said: "My brother is very busy, and you are now in the personnel department, and he is not a little bit different, how can you see him often, even me and my mother, to meet her, we have to call him in advance to make an appointment, as long as the salary is good, and you are taken care of in it, isn't it very good?" It's better than the previous teacher, isn't it? ”
Xiang Hong didn't care about this, she came today to ask about the Chen family's arrangement of a blind date for Chen Qingchuan.
She said, "I heard that my aunt arranged a blind date for your brother? ”
Usually for this kind of thing, Xiang Hong must be very fierce resistance, because her favorite sister-in-law has always been Xiang Hong, but this time, she didn't, but was silent for a few seconds, nodded and said: "Yes, I heard that the conditions are not bad, graduate school, and my brother is very matched." ”
Xiang Hong frowned and said, "Chen Lin, aunt ......"
She clasped her hand.
Chen Lin knew what she was going to say.
She sighed and said, "Cousin, you accept it, my brother is not interesting to you at all, my mother and I like you again, what is the use of him not liking?" ”
Xiang Hong said: "Chen Lin, don't even you help me now?" ”
She looked at Chen Lin pleadingly.
Chen Lin was a little afraid to look at her, she and this cousin have always had a good relationship, the two have been playing since childhood, and they have always been like sisters, for Xiang Hong's eyes, she was also upset and said: "I am natural, naturally biased towards you, but, but my brother." ”
Xiang Hong said anxiously: "Chen Lin is not in a hurry, you believe me, now that your brother is divorced, I just need time, he will definitely accept me, can you ask your aunt not to be so quick and arrange a blind date for your brother?" ”
Xiang Hong shook Chen Lin's hand and said, "Just take it as if I begged you." ”
Chen Lin faced her plea, a little difficult to refuse, after a long time, she could only nod and say, "Okay, okay, I'll help you talk to my mother." ”
Chen Lin picked up the phone and got up to call her mother, but she was very hesitant.
In the end, after a distance from Xiang Hong, she still dialed the phone.
After Chen's mother answered on the phone, Chen Lin told her about pleading with Hong.
Mother Chen kept sighing at the other end and said, "Chen Lin, your brother doesn't mean that much to Xiang Hong, if he likes him, wouldn't we have succeeded a long time ago?" You listen to your mother, let Xiang Hong die of that heart, I'm good for the girl in your brother's photo, you let Xiang Hong stop thinking about it, she is a good girl, and it's more important to find a suitable one. ”
Chen's mother seemed to have something to do, and after saying those words, she stopped talking nonsense with Chen Lin and hung up the phone.
Chen Lin listened to the sound of disconnection on the phone, she hesitantly took the phone off her ear, and then looked at Xiang Hong who was sitting on the sofa, she didn't know how to tell her.
But after thinking about it, she still walked towards her, and after walking in front of her, she said: "Cousin, my mother said that this matter has been scheduled and can't be postponed, but she said that it's still the same thing whether you can see it or not, she naturally wants you to be my brother's wife, tonight is my brother's birthday, we were going to go over to celebrate my brother's birthday, but my brother has no idea about this, let's not Zhang Luo, he is also busy, we don't count the past to celebrate his birthday, why don't you go over and cook a meal for my brother for us in the evening?" ”
Xiang Hong looked at Chen Lin.
Chen Lin immediately went to the side cabinet and took out his bag, took out a bunch of keys from it and said, "This is the key to the place where my brother lives, you just go early." ”
Xiang Hong looked at the bunch of keys in Chen Lin's hand, and was stunned for a long time before taking it from her hand.
She looked at Chen Lin and immediately smiled and said, "Chen Lin, thank you." ”
Chen Lin squeezed his eyes at her.
Xiang Hong was a little excited, she didn't expect that coming to Chen Lin would have such a gain, she couldn't count how long she hadn't seen her again, she went to Fu'an every day, she arrived early and got off work late, but every time she either saw a bunch of high-level people around him, or left in a hurry with the secretary and assistant, and she couldn't get close at all.
Chen Lin actually gave her this set of keys.
Xiang Hong couldn't restrain her excitement, but she didn't show much on her face, and after saying a few words to Chen Lin, she didn't bother anymore and left from Chen Lin's place of work.
She made a phone call to ask for leave, got off work early, bought a lot of vegetables, and went to Chen Qingchuan's residence with red wine.
divorced Xu Kaiyan, and he moved out of the villa he lived in before and returned to his previous residence.
After Chen Lin entered, it was very neat and clean, and it was very simple.
She closed the door softly and walked around the room, and there was not a trace of a woman in it.
She carefully inspected the bathroom, living room and guest room, and then went to his bedroom, the sheets were neatly and cleanly laid there, Xiang Hong still didn't find any feminine products in the bedroom, and she didn't even see a trace of suspicious long hair on the pillow.
proves that after divorcing her, he has been single.
Thinking of this, her fingers couldn't help but caress little by little on the pillow, and her whole person suddenly fell lightly on her head, and the tip of her nose was the elegant fragrance that he often had, as if she was hugged and loved by him.
She smiled.
She fell asleep on his bed.
She slept until four o'clock in the afternoon, when she got up from his bed, she took one of his shirts from the cupboard and went to the bathroom, and when she came out of the shower, she didn't change it, she went to the kitchen like that, and began to prepare meals for him, she didn't know when she would come back, and when the meals were ready, she sat on his sofa and watched TV.
Seeing ten o'clock, she estimated that it should be time for him to come back, she got up in his room and reluctantly changed his shirt, and then carefully hung it in the closet.
She looked at the shirt for a long time, then closed the door.
She went to the kitchen to heat the meal again, almost just as hot, she heard the door open outside, and Xiang Hong was tense at that moment.
The door was pushed open, Chen Qingchuan walked in, smelled the food, and looked towards the kitchen.
There was a woman in an apron busy in the kitchen.
I closed the door.
And Xiang Hong also turned around and looked at him behind him.
She held the birthday cake she had made, looked at him a little nervously, and with a shy smile on her face, she called softly: "Cousin." ”
Chen Qingchuan didn't react anything, closed the door, and walked inside, he put the key on the table, then picked up the kettle and poured himself a glass of water and asked, "Why are you here." ”
Xiang Hong walked towards him with a birthday cake and said with a smile: "Chen Lin said that you have a birthday today, and she is not available today, so please ask me to come over and cook you a meal for her." ”
She put the birthday cake on the table, and she smiled happily: "Happy birthday, cousin." ”
Chen Qingchuan stared at the cake in front of him, he looked at Xiang Hong in front of him, and didn't say much about her appearance, and said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Well, I have a heart." ”
Xiang Hong said, "You can taste it and see how it tastes." She immediately went to get a plate and wanted to serve it to him.
Chen Qingchuan, who was sitting there, got up and said, "No need, you can go back, I don't like sweet things very much." “
He smiled at him, and didn't stay long, making his way to the room.
As soon as he walked inside, he saw the futon in the room, and he suddenly turned to look at Xiang Hong, who was standing at the dining table in the living room, and asked, "You went to my room?" ”
Chen Qingchuan is a person who does not have a habit of cleanliness, but he has obsessive-compulsive disorder, he has fixed position regulations for the placement of his things, and he has a good memory, and he knows the slightest difference in objects.
I used to marry Xu Kaiyan, she always likes to throw things, usually on the makeup table, on the bed, on the sofa, all her clothes, bags, cosmetics, and some messy beauty magazines.
He was thrown by her, and in those years, he even wondered if his obsessive-compulsive disorder was cured by her, because he could make a mess of the room by her, even if he couldn't watch it sometimes, he wouldn't say anything, just silently clean up all the mess for her.
But after the divorce, he returned to being single and lived alone in this apartment, and he found out that in fact, his compulsion was still deep-rooted and could not be eradicated, and he returned to before.
He looked at Xiang Hong, who was a little helpless at the table, and she explained in a little panic: "I, I wanted to go in and help you clean up the room, so I went in a circle." ”
Chen Qingchuan looked at the folds of the sheets, the smile on his lips cooled, and he looked at Xiang Hong coldly.
Xiang Hong didn't dare to explain too much, but was afraid to stand there and look at him.
Chen Qingchuan smiled and said: "Xiang Hong, you are my cousin, I didn't want to say anything about you, but since you came here today, then I have to explain to you that you are not allowed to step into my room for half a step in the future, and if you don't know your identity anymore and make such a thing that embarrass each other, then you will go back to the countryside." ”
Chen Qingchuan is polite to everyone and never says anything heavy to anyone.
Xiang Hong didn't expect him to say such a thing to her today.
He walked inside and thought about it, then stopped, turned sideways to her and said, "I haven't settled the matter with you yet, you had better have a bottom in your heart." ”
Chen Qingchuan came out of the inside with a change of clothes, and he didn't look at Xiang Hong, who was standing there like a petrified, he took it and went out again.
Not long after, the cleaning aunt came to the house, she entered the house and removed all the bedding on the pillow and sheets, and then carried it to the washing machine to wash, as well as the shirt that Xiang Hong touched, the aunt did not ask for it, but stuffed it into the trash can.
Waiting for these last night, the aunt put all the meals prepared in the kitchen into the trash, and then walked to Xiang Hong, who was still standing at the table, and smiled politely and said, "Miss Xiang, when are you leaving?" The gentleman instructed you to hand over the key. ”
Xiang Hong looked at her aunt, and when she saw that she didn't move, she said again: "I'm sorry, please give me the key, otherwise I won't be able to deal with the things I lost." ”
When Xiang Hong heard her aunt's words, she subconsciously trembled her hands, took out the key from her pocket, and put it in her aunt's palm.
The aunt said again, "When are you leaving?" ”
Xiang Hong said: "Now, now." ”
The aunt picked up her bag for her, handed it to her and said, "I'm sorry." ”
Xiang Hong stared at her aunt, she took the bag from her aunt's hand calmly, and then walked out of the apartment with her head down.
But when she was about to enter the elevator, her aunt also came out with her, carrying garbage in her hand, entered the elevator, and stood beside her.
After the elevator door closed, the aunt said: "Miss Xiang, don't humiliate yourself anymore, there are some things that Mr. doesn't say, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know, the reason why he doesn't say it, you should also understand what it means, you are his cousin, he is considered to have saved some face for you, if you still don't know the shame to drill this side, Mr. said, next time he has to call the police, if there is any bad news coming out, I'm afraid it's not good for you, after all, you still have to get married." ”
Xiang Hong looked sideways at the aunt beside him.
That aunt had taken care of Xu Kaiyan before, and when they were not divorced at that time, she had met this aunt a few times when she went there, and she had also explained.
When she looked at her aunt, her aunt looked at her too.
The elevator door opened at this time, and Xiang Hong walked out without saying anything.
The aunt stood behind her and said, "You think you have a chance if you divorce?" Let me tell you, my husband will not marry a woman who killed her children, why does your aunt no longer insist that you and your husband have development? Isn't it now that everyone knows that you did it? Others don't say it, because the other party is your aunt, your relative, if the words are broken, no one will lose face, do you still think you hide it well? ”
The aunt sneered and said, "No one is a fool, Miss Xiang." ”
Xiang Hong suddenly turned around and shouted to the aunt in the elevator with great excitement: "I haven't done it!" ”
There were people around, and they all looked at her when they were yelled at Hong.
Xiang Hong desperately restrained her emotions, she gasped and looked at the aunt, she didn't say anything, turned around and ran out.
She only felt that her face was hot and painful, as if she had been slapped by someone, and she called Chen Lin while running wildly.
She asked her why her mother no longer matched her with Chen Qingchuan.
Chen Lin was hesitant on the other end of the phone.
After a long time, Chen Lin said: "My brother and my brother promised my mother a blind date, and the only condition for a blind date is to tell my mother that he can marry anyone, but not you." ”
