Chapter 71: Self-Inflicted Consequences
For a while, Lin Xiaoxia's gaze became a lot colder, looking at the secretary in front of her, she nodded, and the tone of her answer was as flat as before, and she couldn't see any other feelings, she said:
"I will do what you say, and I will not bother my brother because of my own affairs, and you, as my brother's secretary, also hope that you can continue to do your duty to protect your brother, and work with him to maintain your current position, because I know that my brother has been very young since he was very young, and his greatest wish is to use his own strength to protect Shi's, and now he has finally realized this wish, and I can't let my brother's wish go to naught because of my own selfishness, I know what I should do, But there's one more thing that I find very confused, and if you can, please tell me. ”
The secretary didn't expect that the original request for Lin Xiaoxia was so simple, if it was someone else, I am afraid that he would have already exploded, after all, the secretary is strictly speaking, he is not a person of the Shi family at all, but he stands in the position of the Shi family and advises Lin Xiaoxia to do this, but fortunately, Lin Xiaoxia was not angry, but accepted it, therefore, in the face of the so-called question raised by Lin Xiaoxia, the secretary replied directly without saying a word: "No matter what questions you have, young lady, it's fine, All of them can be told directly to their subordinates, and their subordinates will definitely know everything and say everything, and their subordinates also believe that if the chairman knows, they will definitely stand on the side of their subordinates. ”
"I just want to know, what is the reason for the big change in my brother's temperament? Is it just because of the distrust and persecution of the family elders? I understand my brother's character, he is definitely not a person who will give in casually like this, unless behind the scenes, there is another person who is persecuting his brother, or, by other means, so that my brother has no way to give me ideas at all, I can only persuade me not to get involved, if I guess correctly, this person should be Ji's surrogate mother, right? "Shi Moling's sense of responsibility has always been very heavy, so in Shi's business, as far as his own joys and sorrows are concerned, Shi Moling will definitely choose the former without hesitation, it is because of this that Lin Xiaoxia is a little worried, worried that if Shi Moling becomes a surrogate mother's messenger one day, or an accomplice, then what should Lin Xiaoxia do? Can you turn against the man who has taken care of you for eight years? I'm afraid not, but if you don't do this, won't everything that should have belonged to Ji Zhe be snatched away by others? Lin Xiaoxia can best understand this kind of grievance, how should she be good in this situation of insomnia?
The secretary's eyes widened suddenly, perhaps she didn't expect Lin Xiaoxia to find the answer by herself, the expression on her face looked a little embarrassed at first, but when she thought of Shi Moling's particularity to Lin Xiaoxia, she could only nod helplessly, and replied: "The chairman always said that this matter can't be told to the young lady, so as not to worry about the young lady, but the chairman has not decided to cooperate with the surrogate mother, the chairman said that there must be the most basic bottom line to be a man, It's just that due to the poor capital turnover in Shi's current business, the chairman will seem a little at a loss, and is looking for other ways other than not being used by the surrogate mother to see if he can help Shi's survive this crisis? ”
"Really?" Lin Xiaoxia's guess was right, Shi Moling had been threatened by her surrogate mother, that woman was really trying to achieve her goal, and she would do whatever it took to her, even Shi Moling wanted to take advantage of it, but now that Shi's crisis is in crisis, even Lin Xiaoxia knows how much pressure this may bring to Shi Moling? After all, he is now the one who controls these, he has always had a huge sense of responsibility, it is absolutely impossible for him to be as if he was still doing nothing, even if he pretended to be relaxed in front of Lin Xiaoxia, but after all, it was just a pretend, she frowned, handed a passbook in the purse to the secretary, and continued:
"Some of the deposits in this are the pocket money that my brother has given me in recent years, I basically haven't moved, they are all stored in it, and the dowry given to me by Shi's family, I am worried that there will be such a day, so I have sold it in advance, and there are some deposits, I know that these money may not help Shi's too much, but to solve some small problems, I'm afraid it's enough, and I still have a few sets of expensive jewelry in Ji's house, and after I sell them all, I will let people hand over this money to you, I also hope that you can not tell my brother about this, just treat it as your own personal savings, or help from somewhere else, my brother's personality I know very well, his self-esteem is very heavy, if you know that this money is given by me, I'm afraid I won't touch a penny, do you understand what I mean? ”
"Yes, the subordinates understand what the young lady means, and the subordinates will definitely bring the young lady's feelings for the Shi family back to the chairman, so the subordinates will leave." With Lin Xiaoxia's presence, the secretary turned around and left, but as soon as she left, Lin Xiaoxia looked at the small pebble road without anyone, and shouted indifferently:
"Miss Xia, I didn't expect you to have the habit of listening to others, it's really impressive?"
As soon as the words fell, I only felt that the side of the originally empty small tree suddenly shook as if it was blown by the wind, and then, Xia Kuilin's figure slowly walked out from behind the tree, she was still dressed in that virtuous look, as if to set off her own temperament, that sick and pale cheeks, it made people feel very worried at a glance, but this trick was useless for Lin Xiaoxia, because she knew clearly, Xia Kuilin's demeanor is not because she is not in bad health at all, but because her acting skills are too good, I am afraid that she will definitely deceive everyone's eyes inadvertently, which is also one of the reasons why Ji Zhe is desperate for her.
Now when she is face to face with Lin Xiaoxia alone, Xia Kuilin finally took off her previous mask and looked at Lin Xiaoxia with a smile, the sun shone on her face, making her originally godless eyes full of the light of the mechanism, as if she was a stone man who was difficult for people to see, the kind of temperament that she exuded from the inside out that was difficult to be understood, even Lin Xiaoxia felt very surprised, is this what her surrogate father said before, in Xia Kuilin's life resume, there are two years of blank time? God knows what she's been through in the past two years? Will this little woman, who may have been simple at the beginning, become as mysterious and full of insidious atmosphere as she is now?
"Since just now, Miss Xia, you have been sneaking behind that tree, now do you want to explain the reason to me? First of all, I need to remind you that I myself am not as easy to deceive as Ji Zhe, so don't think that your casual lie can make me believe that in the face of you, I still have the most basic reason and judgment. Lin Xiaoxia looked at Xia Kuilin in front of her, this seems to be the second time she has been alone with Xia Kuilin, the first time she was alone, it was still at Ji Zhe's birthday party, it has only been a few days since now, but the woman in front of her seems to have undergone earth-shaking changes, the woman who was pitiful and always inadvertently distressed before, has long since disappeared, and now she has completely become synonymous with insidious cunning, of course, This may also be because Lin Xiaoxia had an illusion from the beginning, like Ji Zhe, he was deceived by this little woman's delicate appearance, so now he can only reluctantly eat the consequences of his own misery, and has no other choice.
Xia Kuilin looked at Lin Xiaoxia with disdain, the height and size of the two people were originally about the same, but the temperament was completely different, if Xia Kuilin was compared to a bewitching white rose, it seemed to be weak at the same time, but it was also full of spikes, and it was easy to stab the people who approached, stabbing all over the body, then Lin Xiaoxia is an elegant and indifferent peony, she looks plain on the surface, but she is not an easy object to provoke, at least, her intelligence is almost no one can fight, of course, Now what she is most proud of is not this, but her sensitive hearing, as early as the first time Xia Kuilin approached, she had already noticed it, and it was because of this that she asked the secretary to hurry away, so as not to be overheard by Xia Kuilin more conversations between them.
Shi's secret, but it must not fall into Xia Kuilin's ears, because she knows that if Xia Kuilin hears it, then it will naturally reach Ji Chenfeng's ears next, and she has been with Ji Zhe for a year, even though Lin Xiaoxia still doesn't know how Xia Kuilin and Ji Chenfeng met?
But one thing is certain, when Ji Zhe is away, Ji Chenfeng should often go to Xia Kuilin's residence, because as early as the first night of her marriage to Ji Zhe, when she personally drove this man who missed Xia Kuilin to Xia Kuilin's residence, it was in that vicinity that she met Ji Chenfeng for the first time, of course, at that time, she didn't know the relationship between Xia Kuilin and Ji Chenfeng, but now that she knows, she will feel how disgusting and terrifying all this looks?
In order to get the management rights of the Ji family, in order to sell the Shi family, Ji Chenfeng is really well-intentioned, and Xia Kuilin, as an accomplice, is also unforgivable, they all naturally became the people who betrayed and trusted them, and they didn't seem to realize their mistakes at all, and they continued to be in this false game tirelessly, unable to extricate themselves.
