Chapter 29: The Fourth Man
"Zhou Yi, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Zhou Yi come out of the principal's office listlessly, Lin Qingrou, who had just passed by, was a little concerned. I couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Yi shook his head, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "Teacher Lin, you may not be able to see me in the future." β
"Why?"
Zhou Yi waved his hand, the corners of his eyes drooped, and in his eyes was a helplessness that Lin Qingrou had never seen. It looks even stranger.
Back at his office, Zhou Yi changed the excitement of the past, moved a box from the corner, and packed up his things without saying a word - he understood the principal's distress, and a social worker like himself could find it again, but Du Zeming's bold donation did not mean that there was one.
In the final analysis, he Zhou Yi is not worth it.
One by one, the things were received in the box, and people kept coming over and asking, "Mr. Zhou, what are you doing?" Are you leaving? β
Zhou Yi just hung his head and didn't say a word, how could he want to leave.
"Bang-" With a bang, Lin Qingrou almost slammed open the hidden door of the office, and walked quickly in front of Zhou Yi: "You can't go!" We need you. β
Zhou Yi saw Lin Qingrou's firm eyes, and a helpless smile rose on the corner of his mouth, how could he want to leave. Only, does he have the power to say no?
Lin Qingrou pressed the box in Zhou Yi's hand hard: "I won't let you go, you don't have to pack the box!" β
Zhou Yi shook his head: "Teacher Lin, don't be impulsive. The principal has decided, and we will do it. β
Stomping her foot hard, Lin Qingrou ran towards the outside of the school.
"Hey, Mr. Lin, you still have classes behind you." The voice of his colleague behind him was already drifting in the wind.
When Lin Qingrou rushed in angrily, Du Zeming had just finished a meeting. He was rubbing his temples in the office, and he was overwhelmed by his recent work.
Lin Qingrou danced and gestured, Du Zeming lowered his head and didn't look at anything. Lin Qingrou was anxious and knocked on Du Zeming's desk.
Who is so bold?
Du Zeming was annoyed, raised his head, and showed a trace of impatience in his eyes: "Why are you here?" β
Lin Qingrou was so anxious that her hands were trembling, and she couldn't make a word clearly, so she pulled the contract on Du Zeming's desk: "Why did you drive Zhou Yi away??? β
Du Zeming sneered: "Lin Qingrou, are you questioning me?" β
"Zhou Yi didn't do anything wrong. Why did you drive him away? β
Du Zeming laughed angrily: "I paid the money, if you have any opinions, don't take my money." I didn't force him to go. β
"You're despicable!"
His eyes froze. pinched Lin Qingrou's wrist, across a desk, Lin Qingrou lost her center of gravity and fell heavily on the table.
"Lin Qingrou, I warn you, it was you who left me with a dead beggar to find out your identity." Du Zeming's voice was as cold as ice.
Thinking of Linlin, Lin Qingrou's body trembled violently. His expression couldn't help but soften a little: "Du Zeming, no matter what, Zhou Yi is innocent, you want him to go-"
It's Zhou Yi again!
Zhou Yi Zhou Yi Zhou Yi!
Du Zeming's face became even heavier: "Lin Qingrou, if you dare to say Zhou Yi again, I will let you get out immediately!" β
"How about you?" Lin Qingrou bit her lower lip and asked tremblingly.
"Oh?" Du Zeming raised his eyebrows, his heart was even more angry, and he suddenly wanted to see how far Lin Qingrou could go for Zhou Yi.
"Do you want to do anything?" Du Zeming's tone was full of sarcasm.
Lin Qingrou closed her eyes, he probably wanted to do it again. Du Zeming went crazy, and he never disregarded the occasion.
Just do it. She confessed.
Looking at the person in front of him with his eyes closed, Du Zeming suddenly lost his sexuality. Catching a glimpse of the messy foreign-funded contracts painted by Lin Qingrou on the table, it seemed that he remembered something. Du Zeming said: "That day in the mall, Fang Jiawen talked to me a lot about Linlin. β
Unexpectedly, she didn't feel the rough touch, Lin Qingrou opened her eyes in surprise and looked at Du Zeming in confusion.
Du Zeming smiled slightly, he didn't know much, but it made Lin Qingrou feel a little scared.
"Fang Jiawen told me that she feels that Linlin needs more environmental exposure to language now."
Lin Qingrou tilted her head, listened quietly, and did not speak.
"It just so happens that Linlin is about to have a summer vacation, so it's better to let Fang Jiawen live in our house." Although Du Zeming's words are suggestions, they are full of undoubtedness.
Lin Qingrou raised her head sharply and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.
I have never heard of anyone's tutor living at home, let alone Fang Jiawen's special identity. Now that Fang Jiawen and Linlin have been in contact, she has often felt pressured as a mother, if Fang Jiawen really lives at home......
Du Zeming's voice did not have a trace of emotion: "This is for Linlin, there is no problem on Mom's side, as for Linlin's side, you go and talk to Linlin." β
Lin Qingrou felt cold, cold to the bone.
Picking up the pen, she wrote word by word: "As long as I agree, can you let Zhou Yi go?" β
Du Zeming snorted and nodded: "Yes, if you let Fang Jiawen live in, I will let Zhou Yi continue to stay in school." β
"Donations continued?"
"Of course."
Lin Qingrou nodded and wrote on the paper, "Okay." Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and walked towards the door.
"Lin Qingrouβ" Du Zeming's voice came from behind him.
Lin Qingrou turned her head, "You sacrificed a lot for that little white face." β
Taking out her mobile phone, Lin Qingrou typed word by word: "I have nothing to do with Zhou Yi, I just don't want innocent people to be implicated."
Du Zeming was stunned, but he didn't expect Lin Qingrou to say this. Nodding his head, he didn't make a sound.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the news is looping with heat warnings and summer heat stroke.
Li Shujun was worried about Linlin and called Zhang's sister-in-law three times a day. One time in the evening, but I couldn't get through. couldn't help but get a little angry, and dialed his son's phone: "Zeming, why did I call home and no one answered, did something happen to Linlin?" β
Du Zeming glanced at Du Lin, who was sitting in the corner without saying a word, and smiled lightly: "It's okay." Linlin is fine. He hung up the phone.
Lin Qingrou bent over, almost half-kneeling in front of Du Lin and gesturing: "Linlin, are you okay to listen to your mother!" β
Du Lin covered his ears: "Don't listen, don't listen, Mami is a bad Mami!" Actually let someone else live in the house! β
Linlin is still young, but he has already understood that home is an unusual place, Sister-in-law Zhang takes care of the family's daily life and diet every day, and will not live in her own home, in Linlin's heart, home is herself, Barbie, and Mami's place to stay together. No fourth person is allowed.
"Teacher Fang is here to teach you knowledge, you are obedient, Teacher Fang will take you to play and give you delicious food." Lin Qingrou said.
"Don't! I don't want anyone else to live in. β
"Doesn't Linlin like Teacher Fang?"
"No, Teacher Fang is a teacher, not Mami-"
Lin Qingrou smiled bitterly, of course she knew, but she also had to suffer.
Du Zeming looked at Lin Qingrou coldly. suddenly felt very ridiculous, and the current scene made her feel like her wife was persuading her children to accept their stepmother.
He couldn't help but be stunned - it seemed that he had done such a thing. remembered what Lin Qingrou said in his office that day.
Is he too cruel to Lin Qingrou?
Although very reluctant, Lin Lin was finally persuaded by Lin Qingrou and accepted the fact that Fang Jiawen moved to his house with red eyes.
When Li Shujun and Du Liangde heard the news, they were even more happy, and specially asked Sister-in-law Zhang to sort out the guest room closest to Du Zeming for Fang Jiawen.
Lying on the sofa in a daze, Lin Qingrou looked indifferently at Fang Jiawen who was pulling a large box and a small box, Linlin was still young, and he had completely left the initial resistance behind.
"This thing is put there, and that-" Du Zeming was not there, Fang Jiawen stood aside and commanded Sister-in-law Zhang. Finally finished cleaning up, Fang Jiawen took out a card from her wallet and handed it to Sister-in-law Zhang: "Thank you for your hard work." β
Lin Qingrou looked at it coldly, only feeling very tired.
Zhou Yi stayed smoothly, and the principal was also very grateful to him.
She reassured herself, at least, that she had helped others.
"Squeak-" The door opened, and it was Du Zeming who opened the door and came back.
Seeing Fang Jiawen, there was no surprise in his eyes.
It was Fang Jiawen, with irrepressible excitement on her face: "In the future, everyone will be under one roof." If there is anything wrong, please bear with Mr. Du. Ask and bend over, Fang Jiawen's posture is extremely low.
Glancing at the room Fang Jiawen chose, and then saw Lin Qingrou with a pale face, Du Zeming laughed teasingly: "I slept so close to me, what if I go to the wrong room at night?" β
Fang Jiawen smiled a little shyly, lowered her head and didn't speak.
"Student Zhou, the school has relaxed the graduation requirements, in addition to the length of the internship, you can go through the procedures directly when the time comes." On the other end of the phone, the school's homeroom teacher called.
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "These are all Du Zeming's meanings, right?" Suddenly relaxed the requirements for me? β
The head teacher's voice on the other end of the phone was a little embarrassed: "That's not the case, classmate Zhou-"
"Tell Du Zeming that I don't need to!" Hanging up the phone with a snap, Zhou Yi felt his blood surge, and his heart was even more angry. Why are you so useless!
Angry and sent a text message to Lin Qingrou: "Teacher Lin, I don't know what you have done for me, but it must be a difficult thing for you, I decided to leave the school." I hope you don't feed me anymore. β
Lin Qingrou, who received the text message, was taken aback: "Zhou Yi, calm down." β
"I'm calm, I don't want to drag you down. Mr. Lin. β
Here, Fang Jiawen had already taken Linlin to play the game, and Lin Qingrou didn't have the heart to care, so she picked up her bag and walked outside: "Zhou Yi, where are you, I'll come to you." β
Glancing coldly at Lin Qingrou's demeanor, Du Zeming's eyes were full of sarcasm.
