Chapter 42: Pick-up

In the end, Lin Zhen left, and although she tried her best to explain a lot, Director Zhao still fired her.

Holding a light blue box, because I didn't stay in the company for long in total, the contents of the box were nothing more than cups and a few pens.

Tong Lu stood upstairs and watched her go down. In this rainy weather, I walked down the stairs step by step, and my steps were heavy as if I was imprisoned in shackles.

Tilting his head, Tong Lu's deep pupils couldn't see any emotion, sinking like a winter night, only a few flashes of starlight flashed.

"What? Are you still reluctant? Xiao Hong didn't know when she was standing behind Tong Lu, and following her gaze, it was Lin Zhen's lonely back.

Raising her eyebrows, Tong Lu turned her gaze back,

"I just want to know why she did it."

"For the money." Xiao Hong guessed casually,

"Doesn't she have a son at home, it's not easy to raise a child now." Saying this, Xiao Hong suddenly felt that Lin Zhen was a little pitiful.

Raising his hand and knocking on the glass that was cooled by the rain, Xiao Hong sighed lightly,

"The poor man must have something to hate, and if something like this happens, she can't be kept."

"I know." Don't worry about Lin Zhen's affairs, for Tong Lu, this is just a small insignificant episode in a boring life, but she didn't expect that it was such an episode that brought earth-shaking changes to her future.

Narrowing her eyes, Tong Lu walked slowly to the desk, and the script was placed on the table intact, without the slightest wrinkle, as if what happened that day was a dream.

I woke up from the dream, and everything was business as usual. Cold fingertips swiped across the paper, Tong Lu twisted it up and glanced at it, and the dense words rushed towards her eyes, but floated out from her head.

Reluctantly put down the script, Tong Lu looked at the afterglow outside the window,

"I'd better take the script home and read it, it's already so late."

"Okay, let's leave it to you, I've had too many things lately, and if something goes wrong, I'll be scared to death." Thinking of today's experience, Xiao Hong still has some lingering palpitations.

looked at the script with a little awe, but a thin little book almost ruined the careers of the two of them.

"Then I'll go back first, Xiao Li should have already picked up Shuangshuang, I'll go home and take a look." Rolling up the script and holding it in the palm of her hand, Tong Lu took out her mobile phone and looked at the time.

"Then how are you going back?" Xiao Hong glanced at the new car key on the table, thinking about whether to lend it to her first, but before she could make a decision, she was stopped back.

"I'll just take a taxi. I don't dare drive your new car. Tong Lu waved her hand, and her wide sleeves danced twice in the air, but she was a little casual and handsome.

It wasn't raining much outside, so Tong Lu simply didn't ask for the umbrella sent by the front desk, put a mask on her ears, put her hat on her head, and walked out directly.

It was the time to get off work, and the people on the street were in a hurry, or holding umbrellas, or using bags to block the rain, and their steps were as fast as if someone was chasing after them, but Tong Lu was pacing slowly, and even had the leisure to look at the clothes hanging in the shop windows on both sides.

The raindrops hit the somewhat light coat, bringing a burst of coolness that refreshed Tong Lu's senses. Standing next to the station for a while, Tong Lu only felt that his half-raised hands in the air were a little sore, but he still didn't stop a car.

Tong Lu is not in a hurry, and even feels that she likes such weather and tranquility. I like the coziness of such a person standing on the side of the street and no one disturbing me.

puffed out his cheeks, his broken hair hung down on his forehead, his eyes were shining, and he stood with the high school student who had just finished school next to him, without the slightest sense of disobedience.

"Classmate, didn't you bring an umbrella?" Just when Tong Lu was struggling with whether to go home directly, a brisk and somewhat restrained voice came from the side, and the rain above her head was also blocked by a shadow.

Tong Lu blinked, looked at the young man standing next to him a little blankly, and remained silent.

"What class are you from?" At Tong Lu's starry eyes, the young man blushed, and the umbrella in his hand tilted half a point to this side.

Tilting her head, Tong Lu squinted, and suddenly laughed out loud after a while. Was she accosted by a high school student......

"I've long since graduated." Tong Lu pulled the mask upward, covering most of her face, and fanned her long and dense eyelashes, with a slight hint of ridicule in her tone.

Looking at this helpless teenager standing in front of him with a smile, Tong Lu did not have any guilt in her heart for destroying the flowers of the motherland.

Listening to Tong Lu's answer, the young man was obviously stunned, and his eyes grew slightly,

"Do you work here, then? Or going to college? The last question was asked cautiously, for fear of annoying Tong Lu, and added in a low voice,

"You look about my ...... age"

"My kids are three years old." Pulling the brim of her hat, Tong Lu didn't feel that she had hurt a pure boy at all, and there was a rare prank in her voice.

After saying this, Tong Lu went directly into the taxi that happened to be parked in front of him, and when he left, he didn't forget to poke his head out and wave his hand to the young man.

The afterglow of the setting sun gave Tong Lu's bright eyes a layer of light, and the speeding car took away a beautiful and unaware girl, and also took away the throbbing of a teenager's heart.

When Tong Lu arrived home, it was already raining heavily. With the change found by the taxi driver, Tong Lu suddenly regretted that she didn't accept the umbrella gift from the unknown teenager, otherwise, she wouldn't have to run home in such a heavy rain.

Flicking his sleeves, Tong Lu just took out the key and was about to enter the door, and the door opened from the inside.

"Sister Tong, you're back." Xiao Li stood at the door, and there was Tong Shuangshuang with a mouthful of chocolate standing next to his lap.

Tong Lu nodded, took out the shoes from the shoe cabinet and changed them,

"Thank you, excuse me."

"It's okay," Xiao Li waved his hand again and again,

"Sister Tong, I'll go first."

"It's raining heavily outside, so take an umbrella." Tong Lu took out an umbrella and handed it to Xiao Li, and then sent people out of the door to breathe a sigh of relief and began to sort out the clothes that were already soaked.

"Mom, do you catch a cold?" Tong Shuangshuang followed Tong Lu everywhere like a fart, and his two little hands were still struggling to swing a big glass.

Tong Lu turned around and saw it, and hurriedly took the cup, looking at the full glass of water inside, a burst of warmth suddenly welled up on his cold body.

Hooking his lips and smiling, Tong Lu raised her hand and rubbed Tong Shuangshuang's hair, and said soothingly,

"No, mom will take medicine later." As soon as she heard Tong Lu say that she wanted to take medicine, her little face suddenly collapsed a little, and after a while, she looked up at her as if she had regained her strength.

"Then I'll go get my mother's medicine." As he spoke, he ran upside down on two short legs towards the study. Tong Lu didn't stop it, moved a stool that was blocking the way, and let her toss it.

took off her wet clothes and took out a nightdress and put it on her body, Tong Lu felt much more comfortable.

Back in the living room to take a look, Tong Shuangshuang sat on his small stool, although he didn't know what he was messing with, but it was quiet, there was no big deal, and Tong Lu entered the bathroom with confidence.

I hurriedly took a shower, and as soon as I pushed the door out, I saw Tong Shuangshuang looking at him expectantly.

Tong Lu, who was wiping her hair, paused, squinted slightly and looked at Tong Shuangshuang as if she were exploring, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

This premonition became even stronger when she saw the water glasses on the coffee table in the living room. Before she got closer, Tong Lu felt a bitter taste.

Looking at the pitch-black liquid in the cup, Tong Lu licked her dry lips, and only after a long time did she come back to her senses, and turned her head to look at Tong Shuangshuang,

"Shuangshuang, what is this?"

"The medicine for my mother." Tong Shuangshuang raised the medicine box as if he was invited, and looked at Tong Lu with a bright face.

Pursing her lips tightly, the corners of Tong Lu's mouth pulled out a smile, picked up the cup and smelled it, but finally didn't have the courage to put her mouth down,

"Mom, let's drink it later."

"But ......" Tong Shuangshuang wrinkled his brows, his little face wrinkled, with a heartbroken expression for this family, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Tong Lu.

"Shuangshuang," Tong Lu glanced at the mobile phone that was casually thrown on the sofa and raised her voice,

"Go and hand your phone to your mother." With a new task, Tong Shuangshuang immediately put the matter of drinking medicine behind him, and threw his two little arms on the sofa.

The little hand had just touched the edge of the phone, but the ringtone with a bit of cheerfulness suddenly rang.

Tong Shuangshuang was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand, stared at the two big black eyes for a moment, and suddenly shouted,

"It's Daddy! It's Daddy! "Dad? Tong Lu's mind was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted.

Frowning, Tong Lu threw the towel in her hand on the ground casually and walked over quickly. Picked up his phone and glanced at the video invitation displayed above, Tong Lu was a little unclear So, what can Gong Guchuan do to find himself at this time.

Glancing at Tong Shuangshuang, who was holding on to his thighs and was extremely excited, Tong Lu suddenly had a feeling that her daughter had been raised for nothing for so many years.

Xiang Tong Shuangshuang wrinkled his nose and made a childish grimace, and Tong Lu picked up the video.

"How do you ......"

"It's me!" Before Tong Lu finished speaking, the mobile phone screen was filled with Gu Niantong's serious little face, followed by two slightly nervous words.

"Nian Tong brother, I want to talk to Nian Tong brother." Tong Shuangshuang struggled hard, climbed into Tong Lu's arms, and snatched back a small piece of the screen.

hugged Tong Shuangshuang's sliding body, Tong Lu simply went directly to the sofa and handed the mobile phone to Tong Shuangshuang's hands.
