At noon the next day, the Lin family really asked the waiters to knock on the door one by one and invite us to the hall.

After returning from the mountains in the early morning, I had only slept for two hours, the makeup on my face had been spent, and when I was woken up, I looked a little ugly.

Xu Yijin didn't let the waiter who came to call see me, he arrived at the door and said to the outside, "Clean up and go out." ”

Then he closed the door.

I had already sat up from the bed, and he looked back at me and said, "You can sleep a little longer." ”

"I don't sleep." I put on my shoes, straightened my dress, and wiped the makeup off my face.

rinsed his mouth with the bottled edible water in the house, and went out with Xu Yijin.

He seems to be much neater and more organized than I am.

When we arrived at the banquet hall on the first floor, there were already many people sitting here waiting, Xu Yijin and I sat back to yesterday's place, just bumped into my father, there was a dark green under his eyes, it seemed that he hadn't slept well, and said to us: "This Lin family is really bold, dare to lock us up here all night." ”

Xu Yijin and I didn't say much.

Seeing that everyone was almost there, Liu Shichen was sitting not far from us, and Liu's father and Liu's mother were around him.

I looked at him for a while, and I didn't know if he didn't notice me, or if he did it on purpose, but he didn't look at me all the time.

"Still thinking about him?" Xu Yijin said in a voice that only the two of us could hear.

I immediately retracted my gaze, shook my head, and retorted, "I just looked, nothing else." ”

"Liu Shichen didn't come in handy last night." Xu Yi looked at him today, his eyelashes stirring slightly, "At least for now, he has no way to protect you." ”

I didn't say anything.

The people of the Lin family didn't let us wait too long, and when everyone was almost there, some waiters began to serve food to each table.

Father Lin stood on the stage, half-bowed, and said with a smile on the microphone on the stage: "I'm really sorry for you yesterday, our Lin family didn't offend, purely because there was a power outage within a radius of 100 miles, and I was worried that something would happen to everyone when they went back in the middle of the night, so they had to leave everyone here, and I hope everyone is not to blame." ”

This reason is too far-fetched.

What do you say that there is no power within a radius of 100 miles, last night, I saw a street lamp on outside the villa.

What's more, even if you are worried, there is no need to find someone to lock it all up and guard it.

"That's a lame reason." I complained to Xu Yijin.

He picked up the chopsticks, picked me up from the table, put it to his lips and blew it lightly for a moment, and the steaming heat rose up, and the mist was clouded in his eyes.

He fed me a bite of the food and said with a smile: "After all, nothing happened, although everyone was locked up overnight, as long as the Lin family apologized and had the help of the Liu family, no one else dared to really do anything to the Lin family." ”

"This matter, just pick it up high and put it down gently?" I swallowed the spicy dish in my mouth.

Xu Yijin smiled silently.

No matter how many complaints there were in the audience, Father Lin still smiled appropriately on the stage, and said very sincerely: "Our Lin family is also thriving during this time, if any company present wants to cooperate with our Lin family, I will give up 30% of the profits to express my apologies." ”

is worthy of being a cunning businessman, just such a remark, so that the people in the audience looked at each other, and few complained anymore.

For other companies, it's just a night here, and there's no big loss, where the interests are important.

Father Lin later said some polite words, and I almost always went in the left ear and out the right ear.

Xu Yijin didn't listen much, and patronized me with vegetables.

The Lin family has made a lot of money this time, and today they have re-organized the banquet, this time it is much more presentable, and there are no more accidents.

It was almost four or five o'clock in the afternoon that the banquet ended.

Maybe because there are mountains all around, or because the Lin family has done something, all the communication tools almost had no signal last night, and the signal was not restored until dawn.

As soon as the banquet ended, I saw the driver standing in front of the car and waiting, and when he saw us coming out, he respectfully greeted him, stood beside my dad, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine. The Lin family is too rampant. "My dad walked towards his car, and the driver opened the passenger door for him.

Xu Yijin opened the door of the back seat and asked me to sit in first, he was afraid that I would bump into it, so he blocked the roof with his hand.

He waited until I was seated before he came in.

"Do you want to teach the Lin family some lessons?" The driver asked.

"Not really." My dad said: "Our company has not laid a good foundation yet, and we can't rashly go against a company like the Lin family for decades, not to mention that the Lin family has the support of the Liu family behind it." If we bump into it, it's like looking for death. ”

The driver's uncle consciously didn't ask again.

My dad glanced at me and Xu Yijin in the rearview mirror, not knowing what he was thinking.

After I went back that day, I hadn't seen Liu Shichen for a long time.

The days passed peacefully for a month.

The next evening, when the nanny came to cook at home, she brought in a small box, put the food she bought into the kitchen, came to the bedroom and knocked on my door, saying, "Zhou Zhou, there is your courier." ”

I was reading some idle books at the time, and when she said this, I put down what I was holding, got up and walked to the living room.

"My courier? Where did you get it from? "I remember I didn't buy anything during this time.

The nanny handed me the box and said, "The parcels are all at the door, and I saw your name written on it, so I brought it in." Could it be a gift from Mr. Xu? ”

"What can he send me?" I smiled and took the box, "You go get busy first, I'll see what's in here." ”

She answered, turned and went to the kitchen.

Xu Yijin is not at home now, not only today, he has not been back for several nights in a row, probably busy in his father's company.

Thinking that he was a dead man, working harder than I did, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The box was so small and light that I shook it in my hand, and I didn't know what it was, so I opened it.

Two white beads fell out of it, and before I could catch them, they landed on the floor, bounced twice, and rolled down to the wall.

I walked to the corner and squatted down slowly, because the month was old, my stomach was not convenient, and I had to be careful in everything I did.

I reached out and was about to pick them up, when I saw that the two beads didn't seem quite right, with white mucus on them, blood-red blood, and amber pupils.

Like...

It's like an eyeball.

I was suddenly frightened, but I was not sure.

"Auntie, bring a pair of gloves." I said to the babysitter who was busy in the kitchen.

She said "hey", her hands were still a little oily, she wiped her hands casually, then took out the gloves from the cabinet for me, handed them to me, looked down at the two beads by the way, and asked, "Zhou Zhou, what is this?" ”

I shook my head, put on my gloves, reached for the two beads, and picked them up.
