Chapter 74: No-show

Zhong Meihui rushed to Lin Shu's house, she knocked on the door, Lin Shu heard the sound of the door and followed the sound.

She opened the door and swept Zhong Meihui several times from head to toe, Zhong Meihui is usually not very rough, and today's dress will definitely not just come to her house to visit the door.

Lin Shu invited Zhong Meihui into the living room, supported the back of the dining room chair with her arm, and asked curiously: "Mom, why are you in the mood to dress up today, is there anything to do with me?" ”

Zhong Meihui was stunned at first when she saw Lin Shu's hair curled into big waves, and she was wearing a hip-wrapping dress above the knee.

Lin Shu's appearance must be ready to go out.

Could it be that Lin Desheng forgot that he had informed Lin Shu?

Zhong Meihui changed her gentle face and walked into the living room with a smile: "Isn't your dad doing some kind of employee dinner, I'll clean it up a little." Oops, I see that you are also dressed up, so I am relieved, just now I was afraid that I didn't tell you in advance, so that you didn't have time to clean up. ”

Lin Shu raised her eyebrows, revealing a puzzled look, she didn't quite understand what Zhong Meihui was talking about, she was dressed to go on a date, not for a dinner.

Lin Shu perfunctorily raised the corner of her mouth: "Dad didn't tell me that it was today's dinner, I will have something to do later, after all, my time is not blown by the wind." ”

Zhong Meihui heard Lin Shu say that there would be something to do for a while, so she was not calm.

She explained again and again, trying to persuade Lin Shu: "Hey, I was negligent this time, your father asked me to tell you about the time of the dinner last time, but I was cooking at that time, so I didn't have time to tell you, it's time now." ”

Lin Shu was speechless, this kind of thing can be forgotten in advance, did Lin Desheng forget how many things to do at this dinner? Sure enough, it is different from the "catching thieves" filmed in the movie, and it is not professional at all......

She looked down at her watch, it was past five o'clock, and Liao Tingye hadn't called her yet.

Okay, pull it down.

Lin Shu turned on her phone, found Liao Tingye's dialog box from the address book, edited a message and sent it out: Sorry, there is something temporary at night, see you another day.

After sending it, she raised her head and glanced at Zhong Meihui: "Let's go, go to the staff party." ”

Zhong Meihui couldn't believe her ears, Lin Shu agreed? Don't quarrel with yourself anymore?

Lin Shu didn't pay attention to Zhong Meihui anymore, but went back to the room to change into pants and shirts.

She stood in front of the make-up mirror, straightened her hair, removed jewelry and earrings, and quickly wiped off her lipstick with a cotton pad and replaced it with lip gloss.

She gently flicked the hair with her fingertips, looked in the mirror, picked up the car keys on the table, and went downstairs with Zhong Meihui.

Liao Tingye arrived at the party room of the French restaurant with a height of 70 floors, and as soon as he finished discussing with the violinist when the music would be played, he reconfirmed the menu with the waiter.

At this time, Liao Tingye's mobile phone rang, and he was just about to pick up the mobile phone, and was about to call Lin Shu to tell her the address, so he opened the message.

I saw a row of big words in his eyes: I'm sorry, there is something temporary at night, see you another day.

Liao Tingye's mood is complicated and difficult to describe in words.

He stood stunned, staring at the screen for a long time, he put down his phone, looked up into the distance and let go of his thoughts, he obviously didn't know what to say.

He frowned, chuckled helplessly, picked up his phone and stared at the screen again.

This message was indeed sent by Lin Shu.

He didn't say a word, and played a voice call.

Lin Shu was driving, and her phone was placed on the car holder without headphones.

She saw that it was a voice call from Liao Tingye, and without hesitation, she hung up the call directly.

One is because it is inconvenient to make a phone call while driving, and the other is that if the speaker is turned on, Zhong Meihui will sit in the passenger seat next to her, which is not suitable.

It's a big deal to wait for her to park the car, and then explain it to Liao Tingye in the past.

But the current scene is very embarrassing.

This is a confession that Liao Tingye has been preparing for a month, he is such a person with a sense of ceremony, he has prepared everything, but Lin Shu has something to say, and he won't come if he can't come.

He tried to call her to discuss it again, but saw the latest message in the chat history on the phone screen, showing five big words: the other party has refused.

Liao Tingye sat at the table of the candlelight dinner, his eyes looking at the floor, and he was silent for a long time.

In the car, although Lin Shu did not change the notes to Liao Tingye, Zhong Meihui still caught a glimpse of the avatar on the voice call, and Zhong Meihui gossiped tentatively: "Is this Xiao Liao last time?" ”

Lin Shu nodded perfunctorily, obviously not wanting to discuss these topics with Zhong Meihui, so she changed the topic: "It's almost time to arrive at the hotel, which floor is it?" ”

Zhong Meihui rolled her eyes and looked out the window: "The hall on the second floor." ”

She casually asked Lin Shu a few words, and when she saw Lin Shu's refusal to communicate with her, she became angry when she saw it.

She parked the car and asked Zhong Meihui to go upstairs first, she wanted to call Liao Tingye back to explain, after all, she missed the appointment this time.

Lin Shu comforted herself, at this point, Liao Tingye should still be at home and didn't go out, so she shouldn't be delaying him.

Lin Shu saw that Zhong Meihui was far away, so she called Liao Tingye.

Liao Tingye saw that it was Lin Shu's phone, his finger hesitated for a few seconds, and then pressed the connect button.

Lin Shu: "I'm sorry, I was just driving and hung up the phone." ”

Liao Tingye: "It's okay. ”

......

The air was quiet for two seconds.

Lin Shu: "Actually, I'm ...... today"

Liao Tingye: "Actually, I ...... today"

The two had a tacit understanding, and when they saw that the other party did not speak, they said this sentence in unison.

Liao Tingye wanted to say: Actually, he wanted to confess to her today, the venue was ready, if she had time, come later, he would wait.

But when he saw that Lin Shu also wanted to say something, he picked up: "It's okay, you say it first." ”

Lin Shu paused: "Today is my father's business for some things that need me to help, he forgot to tell me in advance, but the matter is critical, I have to miss the appointment, this time it is my reason, I will have the opportunity to explain it to you in the future." ”

Liao Tingye heard that it was a business matter, so it was difficult to tell her the real purpose of asking her today, which would only make her more embarrassed.

Liao Tingye: "Okay, what about later?" ”

Lin Shu looked up at the ceiling of the underground garage, thought for a while, and according to the plan she discussed with Lin Desheng, it was estimated that time would be hanging for supper.

She paused: "If I come back early in the evening, I will call you to tell you, but there is a high probability that it will not be very early, so don't wait for me." ”

Liao Tingye glanced at the violinist outside the door, smiled softly, and nodded: "Okay, wait for you." ”
