Chapter 145: Overseas Calls (2)

Del went out. The lights in the room, he didn't turn off.

Lin Si'er struggled to get up from the bed. The moment the cat Ben jumped out of the window of the ground, a surprising thought came to her mind.

This California curly-eared cat in the United States, it suddenly became Lin Sier's last ray of hope.

Climbing out of bed, Lin Si'er could barely stand on the ground. But she forced herself to hold on.

Leaning against the wall, she pulled out half a piece of paper from a pile of clutter in the corner. Then, she bit her finger and wrote in blood a line in English that read "Help me!" Don't call the police, please call Huaguo—", and noted two phone numbers.

When she had done this, she went back to bed, took off the lilac jeweled necklace around her neck, rolled the piece of paper around the necklace, tucked it under the sheets, and hidden, and passed out......

I don't know when, when Lin Si'er was confused and had not fully regained her brain consciousness, she heard someone talking in front of the bed.

"Colini, I think Madame is afraid that she will not be able to do it, do you want to send it to the hospital?"

"You're so confused, Del! Didn't Mr. Lu have already ordered her to die in this basement! ”

"I thought that Madame had eaten a lot of food in the past two days, and maybe she would be able to last a while. Look here, for today's dinner, she asked me to prepare a big portion of foie gras! ”

"It's not surprising, it's probably a flashback. Hmph, she probably doesn't want to be a starving ghost! ”

"What now?"

"Ignore her. Mr. Lu is still in New York and will return to Sanlan the day after tomorrow. You shouldn't have called me! ”

"Colini, I'm still scared. What if Madame is done in these two days? ”

"Del, you really don't look like a man! Turn off the lights and we'll leave. Also, even if she dies tonight, please don't call me again! ”

The room fell silent.

In the dark, Lin Si'er struggled to open her eyes. She sensed from the conversation between Del and Colini just now that her time seemed to be running out, and that this sad life was about to come to an end, and she would soon be out of power.

However, Lin Si'er was really unwilling to die like this. Such a death means nothing to her.

Her eyes looked to the window, longing for the cat's appearance.

This California curly-eared cat is the last pillar of Lin Si'er's life.

She is very worried that the cat will be trapped in the house by his owner.

Finally, Lin Si'er's anxiety suddenly screamed "meow", and hope ignited in her heart. She clutched the necklace with the paper rolled under the sheets.

The California curly-eared cat seemed to know Lin Si'er's mind very well, and did not immediately run to the large plate of foie gras, but quickly jumped onto Lin Si'er's bed, and gently licked her hair and face with her tongue, showing her delicate appearance.

Lin Si'er's breathing became tense and rapid. She wrapped the jewel necklace around the neck of the curly-eared cat, and used its long fur to cover the pieces of paper.

The curly-eared cat's throat cooed, and it was impossible to tell whether it was expressing comfort and sympathy for Lin Si'er, or playing with her at an inopportune time.

When Lin Si'er confirmed that the necklace and pieces of paper would not be easily lost, she hugged the California curly-eared cat and kissed it on the face several times before reluctantly letting it go. The cat sensibly stopped bothering her, and with a sense of accomplishment enough, satisfied, began to devour the foie gras.

When she saw the California curly-eared cat disappear from the window of the ground, Lin Si'er grabbed the whiskey and drank most of the bottle with all her might.

Perhaps it was due to drunkenness and paralysis, or perhaps due to physical exhaustion, the bottle slipped from her hand and fell to the floor and fell to pieces.

……

Mrs. Lin was alone at home at night, and she had just made dinner at seven o'clock, and in just ten minutes before and after, she answered several calls from the same person several times in a row.

She was puzzled and uneasy.

Even when a mouse took the opportunity to sneak into the kitchen, she didn't think so.

The other party was a foreign man with a hoarse voice. Because of the language barrier, Mrs. Lin could only hear the other party's shouting and what she said, but she didn't understand a word, so she could only keep worrying into the phone.

Her husband, Professor Lindson, was sent by the Ministry of Education to Europe for an academic exchange a few days ago, and it will take a while to return to China.

Mrs. Lin sat at the dining table and thought about it for a long time, but she could not decide what the foreign man was going to say when she called. SHE USED TO WORK AS A LIBRARIAN AT KYOJIN UNIVERSITY, BUT SHE HAS BEEN RETIRED FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS, AND HER ENGLISH CONVERSATIONS ARE LIMITED TO "HELL0", "YES", "NO", "THANK YOU".

The phone call came from abroad, which made her very worried about two things.

One is her husband Lin Dexun, who had heart bypass surgery two years ago, and this time he is going to several European countries for academic exchanges, and she is very afraid of Professor Lin's physical accident after a multi-day journey. The second is her daughter Lin Si'er, who left the capital and returned to the United States after the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and has not heard from her for more than half a year, and has not been able to make a phone call.

During the Spring Festival, Lin Dexun kept calling his daughter at Sanlian's home, and finally connected to Lu Zhichao. The son-in-law told the couple that Lin Si'er had taken her granddaughter Yashi to South America, where she was expected to stay for several months.

Although the couple will be suspicious of Lu Zhichao's statement, they are helpless. Since learning that Lu Zhichao had an affair with the North Hollywood actress named Fan Lizhi, it is actually difficult for the Linderson couple to trust this son-in-law who is far away across the ocean.

Originally, Lin Sier left the United States in anger to Lu Zhichao and chose to stay in China to work, and the psychology of Lin Deson and his wife could bear it.

However, since they heard that Hua Nianping suddenly divorced, and Lin Si'er went to Huai City to meet him several times, they were a little breathless, and they were very worried that the pair of first lovers who had been torn apart by them for a long time and did everything possible would be reunited.

Fortunately, Lu Zhichao's parents, the general and his wife, came to apologize for their son's affair several times.

Lin Si'er's uncle, who worked in the General Staff, was also entrusted by the road general to exert influence on his sister and brother-in-law.

He repeatedly persuaded Lin Deson and his wife that the reason why Lu Zhichao was empathetic and not in love was really a last resort, because Lin Sier had never taken his marriage with Lu Zhichao seriously, and he never gave up his first love for Hua Nianping, so in the final analysis, it was the responsibility of his niece.

When it was confirmed that the son-in-law had cleared up his relationship with Fan Lizhi and was determined to change his past, Lin Deson and his wife understood the righteousness and tried their best to persuade Lin Si'er to return to the United States as soon as possible for the sake of her young daughter and reconcile with Lu Zhichao.

As far as the family reputation in the hearts of Lin Deson and his wife is concerned, if Lin Sier can forgive Lu Zhichao's mistakes and endure the humiliation and continue to live a stable life with the son-in-law of the Lu family living overseas, it is far better than her rekindling her old love, completely parting ways with Lu Zhichao, and then marrying Hua Nianping.

They can tolerate Lu Zhichao's betrayal of Lin Si'er's marriage, but they can't tolerate Lin Si'er and Hua Nianping coming together absurdly again, thus becoming a laughing stock on the campus of Beijing University.
