Chapter Twenty-Three: Meeting Friends Again
After experiencing this turmoil, when Xiao Jia came to ask Lin Yuxue again if she still wanted to go to the film and television city for a part-time job, Lin Yuxue politely refused, and told Xiao Jia very frankly that although the remuneration for the last scene was much higher than she imagined, she still felt that she really didn't like this kind of place where she could bully people by praising high and stepping on low. Since she met a Lin Lin this time, who knows if there will be another Liu Lin and Chen Lin next time?
After politely rejecting Xiaojia, Lin Yuxue temporarily put down the matter of finding a part-time job and decided to take advantage of Friday to go to her grandmother's house to have dinner with her grandmother. On the way to her grandmother's house, Lin Yuxue found that a new café had opened near her grandmother's house, and she was doing opening activities.
Lin Yuxue saw that the mocha she liked to drink was also within the scope of the activity, and she suddenly wanted to buy a cup and try it on a whim, but when she walked into the store, she saw a recruitment information for a part-time piano job posted in the store.
While waiting for coffee, Lin Yuxue stepped forward to carefully look at the job posting, only to know that the coffee shop was looking for part-time jobs who could play the piano in the store at night and on weekends.
Lin Yuxue looked back at the log-colored piano in the store, and felt that this part-time job seemed to be very suitable for her.
After playing the song "Adilina by the Water's Edge" in front of the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper happily asked her to go to the rest room inside to discuss the specific time and cost of the part-time job in detail.
When Lin Yuxue followed the shopkeeper to the rest room, she happened to see two coffee shop employees handing over shifts, and when she saw the appearance of one of the short-haired female clerks, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Lin Yuxue patted the short-haired female clerk on the shoulder and said in surprise: "Yi Dan? ”
The short-haired female clerk looked up at her a little confused, and also showed a look of surprise and surprise in an instant.
"Yuxue? Why are you here? ”
Yi Dan is a good friend who Lin Yuxue has known since elementary school, and has been in a good relationship for many years.
After a few words of conversation, Lin Yuxue learned that Yi Dan was also a clerk in this coffee shop. While finding a part-time job, she also met an old friend, Lin Yuxue only felt that there were too many surprises today.
Because Huo Chiguan rarely returned to the villa for some reason during this time, Lin Yuxue told Huo Chiguan by text message that she had found a new part-time job. But a day later, Huo Chiguan had not yet recovered, and Lin Yuxue put this matter behind her.
Playing the piano in a coffee shop, Lin Yuxue likes it more and more.
Although the piano appeared in the coffee shop just to create a better atmosphere and environment, the owner took it very seriously, and the piano he chose was also a good one, and Lin Yuxue was also very comfortable playing the piano, and she didn't seem to feel that it was just a job at all, but a way for her to immerse herself in her own world.
She likes to play the piano very much, but after her mother died, she no longer had the opportunity to play the piano all the time, and now she lives in Huo Chiguan's house, and it is impossible to play the piano in Huo Chiguan's house. Now she can play the piano every day when she works part-time, which is really rare and beautiful.
After getting off work that evening, Lin Yuxue walked out of the coffee shop with Yi Dan as usual. Looking at the night sky where the crescent moon first appeared and the stars quietly flashed, Lin Yuxue suddenly had a feeling of returning to her middle school days.
In middle school, she also read books after school with Yi Dan, and did not leave school until the evening, riding the cool evening breeze to go home together.
Yi Dan suddenly suggested that the two of them go to the supermarket together, just like in middle school. Lin Yuxue saw that she didn't have anything to do tonight, so she readily agreed.
When they were in middle school, Lin Yuxue and Yi Dan liked to go to the supermarket, just buy a bottle of water or a bag of snacks, they could wander around the supermarket for hours, watching people come and go and children running and playing in front of the snack shelves, and felt that everything in life was beautiful.
Now that a few years have passed, Yi Dan has not studied anymore because his family conditions are not very good, and he has not been admitted to college after finishing high school, and Lin Yuxue has also experienced a series of changes when his mother left and his father abandoned him.
Walking in the familiar supermarket again, Lin Yuxue felt that she had really returned to her middle school days, with two bottles of drinks in her shopping basket, so she and Yi Dan walked slowly in the supermarket.
Recalling the bits and pieces of the past with Yi Dan, Lin Yuxue gradually released the pressure she had been under for a long time and felt relaxed.
As she was talking, Lin Yuxue's mobile phone rang, and when she saw that it was Huo Chiguan's call, she immediately picked it up.
"Hey, Huo Chiguan?"
"Where are you?" Huo Chi's tone on the other end of the phone couldn't hear joy and anger, and Lin Yuxue subconsciously became a little nervous.
"I'm in the south of the city, and I'm shopping at the supermarket with my friends."
Hearing that Lin Yuxue went to the supermarket, Huo Chiguan said: "If there is anything missing at home, let Zhang's mother buy it." ”
Lin Yuxue didn't know how to explain the fun of visiting the supermarket to Huo Chiguan, so she had to say: "There's nothing missing, just go shopping." ”
Huo Chiguan was noncommittal, and then spoke: "Send me the address, I'll pick you up now, there is something to do at night." ”
Lin Yuxue was stunned for a moment, knowing that she couldn't refuse Huo Chiguan's request, so she had to send an address to Huo Chiguan, and said a little sorry to Yi Dan: "Yi Dan, I have to go first, there is something to do tonight, someone will pick me up later." ”
Yi Dan waved his hand loudly: "It's okay, we see each other every day now, and if we don't have time today, we will next time!" Let's go to the checkout. ”
After speaking, Yi Dan pulled Lin Yuxue to the cash register.
After settling the bill, Yi Dan accompanied Lin Yuxue to wait for the car to pick up at the entrance of the supermarket, Lin Yuxue felt that her direct relationship with Huo Chiguan could not be said to Yi Dan, but fortunately Yi Dan did not ask much, which made her secretly relieved.
Lin Yuxue knew that if Yi Dan knew the current relationship and relationship mode between him and Huo Chiguan, he would definitely worry about her.
After a while, Huo Chiguan's car drove to the door of the supermarket, and Lin Yuxue hurriedly said goodbye to Yi Dan, and immediately got into the car.
Yi Dan waved his hand at Lin Yuxue, watching Huo Chiguan's car drive away, and when his eyes fell on the car logo behind the body, his eyes paused slightly.
Huo Chiguan picked up Lin Yuxue, but did not drive in the direction of the villa, Lin Yuxue noticed the direction of the car, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Aren't we going home?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Lin Yuxue blushed a little. She actually said that going back to the villa was going home, oh my God.
Huo Chiguan also noticed this detail, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and said, "You and I will attend a dinner party tonight, and now I will take you to do the styling." ”
Banquet?
Lin Yuxue was slightly stunned, and said weakly: "Do I have to go?" Can't you not go? ”
For no reason, Lin Yuxue remembered the woman who was intimate with Huo Chiguan at the airport.
Huo Chiguan needs a dinner girl, why don't you find that Nana? Is she not available?
However, Huo Chiguan needs a female companion, and he shouldn't look for her if he thinks about it, the gap between the two of them in terms of identity is too great.
Out of various considerations, Lin Yuxue subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the car had already driven to the place where Huo Chiguan was going to take her to do the styling at this time, and pulled her wrist without saying anything.
Lin Yuxue had no choice but to get out of the car obediently and follow Huo Chiguan into the studio.
About forty minutes later, Lin Yuxue finished her styling, and as soon as she came out of the inner room, Huo Chiguan couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Lin Yuxue looked down at the burgundy dress and dress decorated with crystals she was wearing, and secretly guessed what kind of dinner Huo Chiguan was going to take her to.
Huo Chiguan looked at Lin Yuxue, and lost his mind slightly for a while.
He always knew that Lin Yuxue was good-looking, and she was good-looking in the crowd. But Lin Yuxue's usual outfits are very ordinary, and she has not deliberately modified them, but now as soon as she puts on a gorgeous dress and does a good job of exquisite makeup and hairstyle, the whole person looks even more dazzling.
Looking at such a charming and dazzling Lin Yuxue, Huo Chi actually had an urge to hide Lin Yuxue firmly and prevent others from seeing her beauty.
"Huo Chiguan, have you changed it too?" Only then did Lin Yuxue notice that Huo Chiguan was not wearing the casual clothes just now, but changed into a dark red suit.
Seeing that Huo Chiguan and her dress were similar in color, the words "couple outfit" flashed in Lin Yuxue's mind, and her cheeks suddenly became a little hot.
"Well, let's go." Huo Chiguan came back to his senses, coughed unnaturally, and bent his elbow towards Lin Yuxue.
Lin Yuxue hesitated, reached out to grab Huo Chiguan's arm, and followed him out of the studio.
Lin Yuxue thought that the dinner party that Huo Chiguan said was held in a hotel, but the driver drove the car into a villa residential area.
It seems that today's dinner was held at the host's home.
So, the people who go are more familiar, right? Is Huo Chiguan also familiar with it? Why did Huo Chiguan bring her to such a party?
Lin Yuxue was still confused, and suddenly heard Huo Chiguan speak: "At today's dinner, you are my girlfriend." ”
Hearing this, Lin Yuxue's eyes widened suddenly: "Female... Girlfriend? ”
Isn't Huo Chiguan's girlfriend that Nana? Why is it said that she is his girlfriend?
Huo Chiguan replied and didn't say anything more. Lin Yuxue was about to ask again, but the driver stopped the car, and the waiter opened the door respectfully.
Huo Chiguan got out of the car first, walked around the car to the door of Lin Yuxue's side, and stretched out his hand to Lin Yuxue gentlemanly.
Raising his eyes to look at Huo Chiguan, Lin Yuxue saw that he had an undeniable look on his face, so he had to obediently put his hand into Huo Chiguan's palm and was led out of the car by him.
Walking into the entrance of the villa, Lin Yuxue saw at a glance that there were already people standing in groups in the living room chatting, men and women, so that she couldn't help but clench Huo Chiguan's arm.
Feeling Lin Yuxue's restraint, Huo Chiguan thought that Lin Yuxue was nervous, turned his head sideways and whispered: "Don't be nervous, it's just a family banquet, no one will worry about etiquette." ”
Huo Chiguan only said that Lin Yuxue felt nervous because she rarely attended the dinner, but forgot that although Lin Wei's net worth and status were not high, Mei Shuangshan was a talented woman recognized by the upper circle of City A. Lin Yuxue grew up under the teaching of Mei Shuangshan since she was a child, so naturally she will not make mistakes in these simple questions.
Lin Yuxue just saw strangers, and subconsciously felt a little uncomfortable.
Lin Yuxue didn't explain either, and nodded.
Seeing Huo Chiguan appear at the scene with his female companion, many people's eyes gradually focused on them, and soon someone came to greet Huo Chiguan: "Huo Shao, long time no see!" ”
The person who came was a middle-aged man of the same age as Lin Wei, and he was followed by a girl who was about two or three years older than Lin Yuxue. He was talking to Huo Chiguan, but his eyes kept leaning on Lin Yuxue; The girl standing behind him kept staring at Lin Yuxue, as if she wanted to stare her out of a hole.
"Mr. Chen." Huo Chiguan nodded and responded politely lightly, but did not take the initiative to introduce Lin Yuxue. The dinner he brought Lin Yuxue to attend today, even if he didn't introduce it, some people couldn't help but take the initiative to ask about Lin Yuxue.
Sure enough, Mr. Chen paused, and then said, "Who is this person next to Huo Shao...?" ”
"My girlfriend. Yuxue, this is Mr. Chen and his daughter Miss Chen. The corners of Huo Chiguan's mouth raised slightly when he said the title of "girlfriend", and he looked sideways at Lin Yuxue and introduced the two people opposite her.
Lin Yuxue always maintained a polite smile: "Mr. Chen, Miss Chen, hello." ”
When the two people on the opposite side heard Huo Chiguan introduce Lin Yuxue as girlfriend, their expressions changed.
I thought that Lin Yuxue was just a female companion, maybe just a friend around Huo Chiguan, but I never expected it to be Huo Chiguan's girlfriend.
When did Huo Chiguan have a girlfriend? Why doesn't anyone in their circle know? If Huo Chiguan has a girlfriend, then his Chen family's plan to marry the Huo family will be in vain?
Mr. Chen stared at Lin Yuxue, and his heart sank.
"This sister, you look very young." Mr. Chen didn't say a word, but the daughter behind him opened her mouth, with a touch of unkindness in her eyes.
Hmph, where did this girl called Yuxue come from, she has never heard of a celebrity in City A named Yuxue, eighty percent is a daughter from an ordinary family! Dare to compete with her Chen Xiaoyan?
