Lin Nuan saw Lu Jinnan sitting on the sofa
Liang Dulan looked at Tuan Tuan and thought that other friends had grandchildren, and then couldn't help but nag Lin Chen a few words.
"This kind of thing is destined by God, and fate will come when the grandson comes...... Don't worry about it! Lin Jingquan couldn't help but say.
"Don't worry?! Worry about your son, who doesn't care about the big things of marriage, don't worry about when will we be able to hold our little grandson and little granddaughter?! ”
"Look at you, is this something you can worry about your grandchildren if you worry about it?!"
Liang Dulan and Lin Jingquan argued, the atmosphere in the living room became lively, and the corners of Lin Chen's lips and the residual warmth in his heart dissipated...... I could hear the wind in my ears.
With cigarettes missing from his fingertips, Lin Chen's heart seemed to be missing something.
In front of the children and parents, there are some things that Lin Chen is not easy to ask, and when the parents' arguments became more and more intense, Lin Chen said: "I'll go out to smoke a cigarette......"
Watching Lin Chen get up, Liang Dulan thought that her son didn't like her to mention marriage, so she looked sideways at Lin Nuan and gave Lin Nuan a look.
Lin Chen took the cigarette case and lighter in his suit pocket, stood under the eaves, shook out a cigarette and bit it at the corner of his lips, protected the flickering flame with one hand, and lit the cigarette.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky into a rust color, Lin Chen stood silently with one hand in his pocket, his side face was also dyed a little dull rust red, and his deep eyes reflected the sky, like a fire that was not warm.
The breeze carried coolness, penetrating Lin Chen's thin shirt, he exhaled a mouthful of mist, lit a cigarette ash, and before he could bring the cigarette back to his mouth, he saw Lin Nuan who was wiping his hands with a wet paper towel come out.
She didn't wear a coat, she wore a thicker black collar shirt, Lin Chen asked, "Isn't it cold?!" ”
Lin Nuan smiled: "It's okay......"
Standing side by side with Lin Chen, Lin Nuan hesitated for a moment and said to Lin Chen: "Brother, Fu Huaian and I got married." ”
Lin Chen is not stupid, when he saw Tuan Tuan at home, he vaguely had a conjecture.
He took a puff of his cigarette: "To tell the truth, what are you and Fu Huaian married for?!" In order to return the favor...... Or do you really like it?! ”
Lin Nuan held the wet tissue that had wiped her hands in her palm, which was warmed by her body temperature, and she smiled: "At first, there was an element of returning favors, and later, ...... I really like it. ”
"What do you like about him?!" Lin Chen smoked a cigarette and looked at Lin Nuan, and the white mist rose and blurred Lin Chen's unfathomable eyes.
Lin Nuan couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips: "I feel like there are quite a lot of places that like him, I can't say ......"
Lin Chen also hooked his lips, squinted slightly, and stared at the faint fire on his fingertips, as if he was enjoying the cigarette very much: "Has the wedding date been set?!" ”
Lin Nuan pursed her lips and said after a while: "I don't want a wedding, I think it's good......"
She engraved the words Lu Jinnan said in her mind, she didn't want to turn Fu Huaian into a talking point for the upper class to come to entertain after dinner.
Lin Nuan always felt that there were very few things she could do for Fu Huai'an, and this was one of them.
Lin Chen didn't say a word......
A cigarette didn't burn out, and when he saw Lin Nuan, he looked like he didn't go in and she didn't go in and waited for him to smoke, so he could only surrender and extinguish the cigarette and follow Lin Nuan into the house.
Liang Dulan nagged Lin Chen to smoke a lot, and he smoked less after answering, so he took his suit jacket and went upstairs to change into home clothes, and asked Lin Nuan to make him a cup of tea.
……
In the small kitchen dedicated to tea next to the stairs of the Lin family.
Lin Nuan just put the tea leaves into the teacup and turned around to get the kettle, but Lin Ran came over with the kettle one step ahead of Lin Nuan.
Lin Ran gave Lin Nuan the document bag just now, and went upstairs, saying that she didn't sleep well in the morning, but Lin Nuan didn't look like she had slept before.
Lin Ran was holding the kettle in one hand and her mug in the other, knowing that she was going to pour water, Lin Nuan put Lin Chen's teacup on the cooking table and let Lin Ran use it first.
In the small kitchen, the two were relatively speechless......
Lin Nuan waited for Lin Ran on the side, listening to the sound of hot water pouring into the mug, she put away the tea box, put it in the cupboard, and put it into the electric kettle.
She stared at the faucet.
and Lin Ran Lin Nuan didn't know what to say, every time they met Lin Ran, they were-for-tat, and today Lin Ran smiled and talked to Lin Nuan in front of Liang Dulan and Lin Jingquan, which made Lin Nuan a little uncomfortable.
couldn't figure out how to get along with Lin Ran, and didn't know what to say, so Lin Nuan simply remained silent.
Lin Ran put the kettle aside, leaning against the table with a mug, as if admiring Lin Nuan's smooth movements, Lin Nuan had lived here longer than her, and was more familiar with everything here than Lin Ran.
She Lin Ran didn't know where Lin Chen's tea leaves were, and Lin Chen would never let Lin Ran help him make tea.
Compared with Lin Nuan, Lin Ran felt that she was an outsider in this family.
The mobile phone vibrated in his trouser pocket, Lin Nuan put the kettle in the power supply, pressed the switch, and saw that the caller was Fu Huai'an, and she turned it on......
Lin Nuan glanced at Lin Ran, who was still in the kitchen and did not leave, and lowered his voice: "Hey, ......"
"At the Lin family?!" Fu Huai'an's voice was moving.
"En......"
"The company still has something to work overtime, I will go back as soon as possible in the evening, if it is too late to pick you up and Tuan Tuan, I will ask the driver to go over ......"
"Okay, it's okay, you're busy! Don't worry about me and Tuan Tuan! ”
After hastily speaking, Lin Nuan hung up the phone and wanted to get the kettle, Lin Ran slowly blew into the water cup, supported the flow table with one hand, and said without saltiness: "There is no water......
Seeing that Lin Ran had no intention of leaving, Lin Nuan asked, "Do you have something to say?!" ”
"Doesn't it mean that it won't be involved with the Lin family in the future?! Why is it coming again?! Lin Ran's voice couldn't hear joy and anger.
"I'm sorry!" Lin Nuan pursed her lips, "Mom called me today, I'm ......"
Lin Nuan felt guilty about Lin Ran, she was wrong about this and reversed herself...... Like a capricious villain, she didn't say anything about the explanation.
She didn't want to make excuses to say that she couldn't let go of her relationship with Liang Dulan and Lin Jingquan for more than 20 years, and her parting was extremely hurtful to Lin Ran.
"I'll give you those possessions, can you not come in the future, stay away from my parents and my parents?!" Lin Ran smiled with her lips hooked slightly, without the rage and ugly insults of the past.
Lin Nuan's hand resting on her side tightened, she knew that it was one thing to be right or wrong, and it was another thing to let it go.
"Don't say anything, you don't want it, if you don't take it, I don't worry, who knows what you're trying to do with our family!" Lin Ran smiled lightly.
The kitchen was silent, except for the sizzling of the kettle.
Lin Ran looked at Lin Nuan: "Lin Nuan, do you know what you feel like now?!" To use a metaphor that you can understand, you are essentially no different from a junior! You also know in your heart that it's not right to be a junior, but you still entangle the family man again and again, even if you have agreed to the original match, you will stay away from her husband! ”
Lin Nuan's ears were burned, and she couldn't refute it.
Lin Ran's words are right.
Even if the identity exchange between the two people back then was not something that Lin Nuan could decide, even if Lin Nuan was also a victim, even if for her, her parents who had raised her for more than 20 years suddenly became someone else's, she couldn't accept it emotionally and psychologically!
In essence, her behavior is indeed no different from that of Xiao San.
"Mom and Dad want me to live in peace with you and treat you as a sister, is it ridiculous for you to say this?! It's like the original partner and the mistress are friends...... It's unheard of! When Lin Ran said this, her smile had already sunk, "Lin Nuan, every time you appear at my parents' house, you stick a knife in my heart!" What do you think...... What sister can I do with you?! ”
Lin Ran put the mug on the table and clasped her arms with both hands: "You guys are talking and laughing downstairs, I'm alone upstairs, it seems that I am an outsider in this family!" This feeling...... I only have it when you come! When you don't come to my house, both your parents and my eldest brother are very good to me, so I hate you coming to my house! Do you understand?! ”
Lin Nuan nodded.
"I've torn my face with you, and the torn things have been torn even if they are pasted back, I can't sit with you and pretend to be a sister without any guilt, you haven't lived the life I once lived, you don't understand the hatred in my heart!"
This is probably the first time that Lin Ran calmly talked to Lin Nuan, and Lin Nuan listened carefully.
"What the eldest brother said is not wrong, you are innocent, I was also raised by your parents, I understand the truth, hatefulness is hate, I will not be a liar......"
……
Lin Ran came out of the small kitchen first and sat in the living room to tease Tuantuan.
Tuan Tuan is introverted and doesn't like to talk, with a cute little face, sitting there looking in the direction of the kitchen.
The water was boiled and poured, Lin Nuan made tea for Lin Chen and brought it out, and Lin Chen had already gone downstairs.
Tuan Tuan missed his father a little, and slowly came to Lin Nuan's legs, and his little hands tugged on Lin Nuan's sleeves.
Lin Nuan bowed down, only to hear Tuan Tuan whispering in his ear asking when he would go home.
Lin Nuan chuckled, rubbed Tuan Tuan's little head, and his eyes were red: "Tuan Tuan wants to go home?!" ”
"Yes!" Tuan Tuan nodded.
Hearing Lin Nuan's intention to leave, Liang Dulan frowned: "What's the hurry?!" Dinner will be ready soon...... I've made a few of your favorite dishes! ”
Lin Ran sat on the sofa with her arms crossed, this time it was very quiet without noise or noise.
She is no longer emotional, because her heart has gradually become cold, and the more her parents are kind to Lin Nuan, her heart will be colder.
"I just received a call from Huai'an, I have to go back and pick up an important document and send it to Huai'an!" Lin Nuan lied.
Lin Ran and Lin Nuan came out of the kitchen one after the other, and Liang Dulan subconsciously looked at Lin Ran.
Lin Ran remained silent, the hands around his chest tightened, and his knuckles turned white.
"Just now, Lin Nuan answered the phone......" Lin Ran spoke.
It's not good to delay such a thing as sending documents, and the Lin family knows the important documents for the company...... Peace of mind can only be achieved through the most trusted people.
"I'll send you ......" Lin Chen had to go upstairs to change his clothes again.
"No need! I just called a taxi with the software, and I will be there immediately, and I will tell the doorman to let the taxi in a while! ”
Although Liang Dulan was reluctant, he did not stop it too much.
At the entrance, Lin Nuan squatted to put on a kindergarten uniform jacket for Tuan Tuan, Tuan Tuan stood there obediently, let Lin Nuan button him, and then put a small schoolbag on his back.
Lin Nuan straightened up, and the taxi had already stopped at the door.
She put on her cap, took her coat and held it in the palm of her hand, carried her shoulder bag, and smiled: "I'll go first!" ”
didn't call Mom and Dad in front of Lin Ran anymore.
Lin Ran took the information bag in her hand and handed it to Lin Nuan: "Take it......"
Lin Nuan looked up at Lin Ran, but didn't answer: "I won't take this, it's inconvenient!" ”
Holding up the group, Lin Nuan looked at Liang Dulan and Lin Jingquan who were standing at the door, and looked at Lin Chen who was standing behind with his hands in his pockets, his eyes were sour.
She solemnly said goodbye to the Lin family in her heart.
Afraid of being seen that her mood had changed, Lin Nuan turned around with her arms in her arms and got into the car without saying a word.
Closing the car door, Lin Nuan hugged Tuan Tuan in his arms, did not look sideways, and his eyelashes were finely wet.
……
There were no documents to send to Fu Huai'an, but Lin Nuan said it in front of Tuan Tuan, not wanting Tuan Tuan to think he was lying.
She thought for a while and said to Tuan Tuan: "Can you go to the company with your mother to find your father?!" ”
Tuan Tuan nodded vigorously, he missed his father!
Lin Nuan is not the kind of person who is good at raiding and creating surprises, so he honestly sent a message to Fu Huai'an, saying that he lied in front of the child and said that he would send him documents, and asked him if it was inconvenient for her to bring the child over.
Soon, Fu Huai'an replied to the message, which was very convenient.
The three words made Lin Nuangang's still gloomy mood brighter, and the corners of his lips curled.
Lin Nuan remembered that Fu Huai'an hadn't eaten at this point, so she asked the driver to drive the car to Wangjiang Tower to pack the meal, and planned to go to the company to accompany Fu Huai'an to eat a little.
Fu Huaian asked his assistant Xiao Lu to wait for Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan at the door of the company in advance.
As soon as the taxi came, Xiao Lu guessed that it was Lin Nuan who arrived, opened the back door very gentlemanly, and first took out the packed meals that Lin Nuan had put aside: "Mrs. Fu, Mr. Fu asked me to pick you up and Tuan Tuan." ”
Lin Nuan was a little unaccustomed to hearing others call her this title at first glance, so she nodded with a smile: "It's troublesome!" ”
Walking towards the CapitaLand Group building with Tuan Tuan Tuan and his assistant Xiao Lu, someone looked at Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan curiously, saw Xiao Lu's respectful attitude, and guessed Lin Nuan's identity.
Xiao Lu standing half a step behind Lin Nuan was reflected on the elevator mirror wall, and he was only wearing a shirt...... The cuffs were rolled up and the elbows were straightened, and the work card was hung around the neck, not as meticulous as usual, Lin Nuan guessed if they were particularly busy today.
Lin Nuan couldn't help but ask Xiao Lu: "Are you particularly busy today?!" ”
Xiao Lu raised his head and said with a smile: "En...... Today is very busy, the board of directors suddenly has to check the accounts, and it is still urgent, and it will be handed over early in the morning, and the company's finances are working overtime. ”
At this point, no one in the finance department of CapitaLand Group is off work, and the president's office has not said that even if the accounts are idle, they can't leave......
"Then Huai'an also has to look at the accounts?!" Lin Nuan asked.
"The accounts are Mr. Lu's eyes!"
Lin Nuan nodded and didn't ask again.
followed Xiao Lu into the office, Lin Nuan saw Lu Jinnan sitting on the sofa, with a mountain of documents in front of the coffee table, and there was no place for even a laptop, which was placed on top of the pile of documents.
