Chapter 73 Definition of Relationship
The case of the famous city of Yufu caused Dinghong Group to experience multiple blows such as personnel earthquakes, project stagnation, and investment failure, and its vitality was greatly damaged, and Lin Jing, as the heir of the Lin family, carried the banner of Dinghong Group at a time of crisis. This is not a good thing, as she faces skepticism from shareholders and the company's top management, as well as police investigations and media defamation.
That's right, it's slander. When the case was still under investigation, the media exposed the photos that Lin Jing was forced to take when he was kidnapped, and then accused Lin Jingbo of sympathy to cover up Lin's illegal activities related to the gang. And Ruan Yang's secret investigation method is to pretend to be in tow with Lin Jing. All of this, before and after, seems to be reasonable for how an ordinary policeman can climb the rich family. So this last guess has been universally recognized.
Since Ruan Yang's assassination, I have been with Lin Jing, and I have witnessed her really crying because of Ruan Yang, being frightened by Ru Yan's misunderstanding, and suffering because of those humiliating photos. I really feel that it is not easy for her, and every emotion and mood she has is sincere.
After such a series of disasters, I have a deeper understanding and understanding of Lin Jing, and it also makes the relationship between the two of us warm up rapidly, supporting and trusting each other. In the eyes of the elders, this is love. To be honest, I thought I might be in love with Lin Jing at that time, but in fact, until now, I can't accurately define what kind of emotion I have for Lin Jing.
Soon, my excessive closeness to Lin Jing became a new topic of media hype, and at first, both of us did not admit, deny, or ignore it. Later, this kind of lace news became a hot topic sought after by major media, and many paparazzi lurked in front of their homes, downstairs in the company, and even to the point that they would be secretly photographed at lunch. I couldn't understand for a while how the relationship between two people became so noteworthy.
Out of curiosity, I bought a copy of the hottest entertainment magazine at the time, wanting to see how media people made up stories. However, this look really scared me. It turned out that the core content of such a hot scandal was speculation, Lin Jing and I were cautious in our dealings with each other, because we wanted to use our Zhuochuang's financial resources and reputation to revitalize Dinghong, if the two families got married, for Dinghong, it would have the effect of resurrecting the dead.
Seeing this, I felt a little ashamed, because I took the initiative to visit Lin Jing at first, and I insisted on accompanying Lin Jing through her most difficult time. And all this was said to be a matter Lin Jing used a beauty trick on me, which was unfair to her.
Just as I was indignant about this, my father walked into my office. He never cared about my personal feelings, after all, I am an adult and have my own preferences and judgments. So during this time, although all kinds of scandals have been rampant, he has not asked or criticized me. But it doesn't seem like it's for business to suddenly appear in my office today.
He walked in, shook around the window a few times, and asked questions, seemingly about some work matters, but he never listened to me, obviously not interested in the operation of commercial real estate. Finally, he looked at the entertainment magazine I had placed on the table, and finally spoke.
"Yu Huai, what's going on with you and Lin Jing?"
"Not like you think." I hurriedly explained.
"What I think is that the two of you are just classmates." My father's staring at me made me feel a little weak for a moment.
"It's not just classmates, it's better to be good friends."
"Does Lin Jing think so too?"
"Well, I think it should be." I really haven't thought about it, and even though newspapers, magazines, and the Internet have been hyping it up for a while, we've never directly revealed each other's views on it.
"You think, you should?" My father's expression became serious.
"I'll take care of it." I don't want my father to continue to ask about this matter, I always feel embarrassed.
"You two have been so close recently, you have been hyped, if you don't have enough feelings for Lin Jing to marry, don't interact anymore, so as not to damage her reputation."
"I, I haven't thought about it yet."
"Then think about it now, and do it as soon as you think about it, it's not good for you and each other if it drags on for a long time." My father gave the order of the Overseer.
"You want me to marry Lin Jing?" I suddenly realized that my father already had the answer in his mind, and that this kind of conversation was just a test of me, and if the result of the temptation was the opposite, he would adopt the opposite general strategy.
"It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is what you think. Lin Jing has experienced a lot of things this year, and as a good friend, at this time, you should know what to do and what not to do. Don't get her caught up in right and wrong again. Father paused. Our Yu family has always been low-key, and we don't want our children's affairs to be stirred up, and they will be laughed at after dinner on the spot. ”
"You still want me to marry Lin Jing." I'm more sure this time. He has already indirectly admitted to it.
"You don't want to?" The father still did not admit it, nor did he deny it.
"I didn't think about it." I really haven't thought about it, but now that I've said that, I need to think about it carefully.
"Then you think about it, just tell your mother, she will arrange it." My father got up and walked out.
His words were already suggestive. If I don't want to get married, I don't have to inform my mother. Ru Jing didn't agree with me marrying Lin Jing, so he wouldn't let me inform my mother. Obviously, what he wants to see is that I push the boat and get the marriage done.
I looked at the magazine again and began to fall into deep thought. In the end, does he think I like Lin Jing, or because he doesn't want me to get into this unnecessary scandal, or because he and Lin Fuchun have reached some secret business agreement, just like the engineering company that took a stake some time ago. As for those words that care about Lin Jing, the ghost believes it. He has been walking in the mall for many years, and when has he ever cared about the innocence of people who are not beneficial to him.
Thinking about it makes me feel very uncomfortable. I always thought that this kind of business marriage would not appear on me, but today, my father's words were obviously intended to promote such a situation. However, these are not the most important things, the most important thing is whether I really fall in love with Lin Jing, even if I don't fall in love, am I willing to marry her and protect her for the rest of her life.
At this moment, the phone in the office rang, and the secretary said that Lin Jing had gone downstairs and asked me if I wanted to have dinner together. I hesitated for a moment and decided that it would be better to choose a day than to hit the day, so I simply asked Lin Jing what his attitude was towards various media reports today. Is it really as her father hinted at, she is actually willing in her heart.
The waiter had removed the plates, leaving only a plate of fruit and two pieces of dessert. I was thinking about how to speak, Lin Jing sat opposite, she had lost a lot of weight recently. Fortunately, in the two months after the case ended, she gradually recovered some of her spirits. The gaze finally became scorching. But today, she seems to have something on her mind, and she always wants to talk and stop.
"Lin Jing, there is something I have always wanted to ask."
"Well, I guessed what it was, but I also want to ask, what do you think?"
Hearing Lin Jing say this, I was a little surprised, was she also confused about these things?
"Do you mean about the media reports?"
"Yes, it's been a while, and I thought I'd just ignore them."
"Well, I think so too, the one who is clear is self-purifying."
"However, I am a girl after all, and my family has asked me several times, even if I don't give the media an explanation, I have to make it clear to my family." Lin Jing lowered his head, rarely shy.
"Well, that's right, it's to make it clear to the family that you can't let them worry."
"So, how do you think I can explain it to my family?" Lin Jing raised his head and looked at me.
From her gaze, I seemed to see anticipation, and I saw the legendary affectionate model. And these are not what I thought of and wanted to face. But she sat across from me, so beautiful, so elegant, so dignified. I was a little confused for a while.
"Lin Jing, I, I think, we ......" My brain raced to consider how I would describe our relationship, whether it was a good friend who was closer than a classmate, as I told my father, or a couple in love, as the media reported.
"Yu Huai, don't be reluctant, I know, I'm not your favorite type, I'll make it clear to my family, we're just good friends." Lin Jing took my words, his eyes flashed, and he said to me softly.
I felt a sense of relief instantly, but immediately the guilt and distress in my heart flooded like a flood. How could I hurt her at such a time, I obviously didn't want her to be sad and wronged.
"Lin Jing, do you like me?" I finally mustered up the courage to ask, and at the same time examined my heart again.
"What about you?" Lin Jing didn't answer directly, this is also how it should be, how can a girl confess first, especially if she is still Lin Jing, so proud Lin Jing.
"Yes, I think I like you." I hurriedly made a statement. "I may not have thought about this seriously before today, but today, now, I suddenly figured out, I like you, so, so do you like me too?"
Lin Jing looked at me, tears came out of his eyes, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, smiling so happily and beautifully. I think it was the most beautiful moment in my heart.
