Chapter 220 Classmates and friends
When he left the hospital, it was still early, and Xia Nuan thought that he hadn't taken Xia Luocheng out to play for a long time, so after thinking about it, he decided to take him to the playground in the center of Ruan Cheng to play.
Because she was in too much of a hurry when she went out, Xia Nuanxin didn't ask the driver at home to send her, and took a taxi directly, so she could only take a taxi to the Ammon Playground in the center of Ruancheng.
But halfway through the drive, the car was blocked by the bustling crowd.
A group of people dressed in different costumes lined up in a long line to parade through the streets.
"Mom, what are they doing?" Charlotte leaned at the window and looked out curiously.
Suddenly, he saw a character he was extremely familiar with, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Mom! I saw Superman!! ”
Xia Nuanxin didn't speak yet, but the driver who was sitting in the driver's seat first smiled and said: "Today is our Ruan Cheng's buckle festival, and there are a lot of young people who participate in the event every year, this point, they have just started the parade......"
As he spoke, the driver raised his wrist and glanced at his watch: "Yo, it seems that there is still a long time to finish......
Xia Nuan thought to herself, this playground may not be as fun as this rare festival, she never knew there was such an event in the years she lived in Ruancheng.
Seeing that Xia Luocheng looked very interested, Xia Nuanxin took out his wallet to settle the bill and said, "Master, let's get off here." ”
It turned out that Xia Nuanxin's decision was extremely wise.
The entire COSPALY team is full of hundreds of people, and the scale is a bit like the temple fair I saw when I was a child, but the costumes of this group of people are newer and more innovative.
Xia Luocheng has been looking in the crowd with a pair of big eyes, as long as he finds the character he knows, he will pull Xia Nuanxin's arm vigorously for her to see, and he will be as excited as he looks.
Before I knew it, it had been a month or two since I returned home, and Charlotte seemed to have accepted her life in China, and although she was still reluctant to go to school every morning, she never clamed to go back to the ranch.
The day after sending an email to the ranch, Xia Nuanxin received a reply from Catherine, the owner of the ranch.
Catherine, who had returned to the ranch from the metropolis, had just received this email from Xia Nuanxin and expressed her understanding of her decision. also intimately asked Richard to give her Xia Nuanxin's unsettled salary to the card. And some of the items that Xia Nuanxin left in the ranch were also mailed back to China by international express.
In the email, Catherine also mentioned that Richard was unhappy about her departure, and often said that she was an immature adult.
Xia Nuanxin smiled at all of them, because she knew that this was Richard who was reluctant to let her go. He couldn't bear her as a diligent and capable right-hand man.
"Mom, we're gone, are we going to the playground?" Xia Luocheng took La Xia's warm hand and recalled Xia Nuan's wandering consciousness.
"Ah, it's still early, why don't we walk?" Xia Nuanxin looked at her watch.
Xia Luocheng was immersed in the joy brought out by Xia Nuanxin during class time, and he didn't feel tired at this time, so he nodded very happily.
So the mother and son held hands and walked slowly on the way to the playground.
As they walked past a coffee shop and were waiting for a traffic light on the side of the road, a big-eyed red sports car stopped in front of them.
As soon as the car door opened, a woman wearing red high heels, a white skirt and sunglasses came down.
The woman's figure is not tall, but it is small and exquisite, and it is concave and convex.
She was carrying a latest-style LV handbag in her hand, turned around and waved at a man in the driver's seat, and said in a loud voice: "Then Xue Shao, goodbye, don't forget our agreement." ”
Xia Nuanxin is not a person who loves gossip, but she always feels that this figure is a little familiar, and when she wants to look at it, the red light on the opposite side turns green, and she can cross the street.
Xia Luocheng took Xia Nuanxin's hand and took the lead and walked forward.
He hadn't taken a few steps when a call suddenly came from behind him.
"Wait a minute......"
This voice is soft and delicate, completely different from Fang Cai's shyness.
Xia Nuanxin turned back with some hesitation, she wasn't quite sure that the other party was calling her, so her steps didn't stop.
The woman in white saw Xia Nuanxin turn around, but her footsteps didn't stop, and she was even more anxious, she reached out and took off the sunglasses she was wearing on her face, revealing a face with a thick foundation.
"Are you...... Does Xia warm your heart? ”
This time, Xia Nuanxin completely stopped, because she recognized the delicate face under the sunglasses.
It's Lin Lin.
The green light flashed in the opposite direction, and immediately turned red. The anxiously waiting drivers began to impatiently honk Xia Nuanxin, who was still standing in the middle of the road.
Xia Nuan hesitated, but still returned to the side of the road with Xia Luocheng.
"Is it really you?" After the woman in white saw Xia Nuan's heart, the expression on her face was also very surprised, "You...... Didn't you go to the United States? ”
Xia Nuanxin pursed her lips and smiled lightly, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces in front of her, it was hard to imagine that when they were students, they were once good friends who had nothing to say and were inseparable.
"Well, Lin Lin, I'm back."
The two of them went to the café on the side of the road and sat down.
Xia Luocheng couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he saw that Xia Nuan was not leaving, and he had a little emotion.
There are self-service fruits in the store, Xia Nuanxin looked at it and paid attention.
"Chenchen, do you see the fruit over there? Aren't you your favorite stack of fruit bowls? Go get a plate, the higher you can watch cartoons at night. ”
Xia Luocheng looked up, and sure enough, he found the counter where Xia Nuanxin said to put fruits, his eyes lit up, and he ran out with joy.
Xia Nuanxin and Lin Lin looked at the small but energetic figure, and they couldn't help but smile on their lips.
"You...... When did you come back? Lin Lin took a sip of coffee, remembering the scene when they were separated five years ago, and there was a trace of discomfort on her face.
Xia Nuanxin paused, rubbed his fingers against the warm teacup, and replied, "Two months ago." Grandpa Huang passed away, and he originally came back to see him off, but he stayed unconsciously. ”
"Hmm...... So, are you still leaving? Lin Lin added another creamer to her cup.
Xia Nuanxin smiled: "Don't go...... You're still so sweet with a tooth. ”
Lin Lin smiled and shook her head: "It's a problem from childhood to adulthood, and it can't be changed." ”
"In the past few years...... How are you doing? That's ......"
"My son." Xia Nuanxin smiled.
At the beginning, when she introduced Xia Luocheng as her son, Xia Nuanxin was still a little shy, but as time passed, this shyness was gradually replaced by the increasingly vigorous maternal love.
"It's so cute." Lin Lin said.
Xia Nuanxin remembered the man who was in the sports car just now, and couldn't help asking, "...... you Married? ”
Lin Lin smiled, shook his head, and took out a cigarette from his pocket.
Xia Nuan was surprised: "You still smoke?" ”
Lin Lin skillfully put the cigarette between her fingers and raised her eyebrows: "Isn't it strange?" Oh...... I forgot, you've always been a good student. ”
This was a bit unkind, but Xia Nuanxin didn't plan to pay attention to it, so it was automatically filtered.
No matter what, she was still very happy to see Lin Lin again.
"In the past few years...... How are you doing? ”
Lin Lin smiled and knocked on the unlit cigarette on the table: "What can it be?" Every day for the Lin family, he travels between various families, one will be this son, and the other will be that young master. ”
Lin Lin smiled coldly.
Xia Nuan's heart sank, and he vaguely realized that Lin Lin might not be doing very well.
"Five years ago, you told me that you were going to give Qiao Yu back to me......"
Xia Nuan was nervous: "I'm ...... I didn't plan to rob Qiao Yu with you......"
"I know." Lin Lin nodded happily, "I saw it at the beginning, all you have in your heart is Huo Beixiao." ”
Xia Nuan was stunned: "But you were still ...... before"
What she wanted to say was that Lin Lin was still angry and jealous because she and Qiao Yu stayed for a while and said a few more words, but she swallowed back as soon as the words changed, after all, not everyone was willing to talk about these old things.
But Lin Lin didn't care at all, she shook off her shoulder-length hair, which was cut a little short, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I used to be angry because, obviously you didn't like him, and he was still so catch-up." Even after you left, you chased you to the United States. ”
Xia Nuanxin didn't know that Lin Lin even knew this, and a trace of apology suddenly flashed on her face: "My first year in the United States was quite difficult...... Qiao Yu is for the sake of his friends, so he will occasionally come to help me......"
Lin Lin nodded, unexpectedly not angry: "I have already seen it." So you don't have to be nervous. There are many things in this world that cannot be forced. I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life. For someone like me, there is no other way but to appoint. ”
"By the way, I have something to tell you."
Xia Nuanxin raised his head and said seriously: "You say." ”
"I heard that your Xia clan's David Edmund has withdrawn?"
Xia Nuanxin's face sank, and she nodded: "Yes, even you know about this?" ”
Lin Lin smiled and shook his head: "How can I say that I am also a member of the Lin family, and they still rely on me to help them build relationships." I won't hide this from me. ”
"Do you know where David Edmund went with the funds from the withdrawal?"
Xia Nuanxin also asked Qiu Yating in private about this matter, and Qiu Yating's answer was silence.
But in Ruancheng, there are only a few big names in real estate, and it is impossible for David Edmund to abandon the Xia family and go to a small company.
"I guess...... I guess it's one of the four major families. ”
Lin Lin smiled and nodded, with a hint of relief on her face: "Yes, there is still salvation." David Edmond took a huge amount of money and turned to the Mo family. I heard that your Xia family and the Mo family once had a grudge? ”
Xia Nuanxin bit her lip: "I can't talk about grievances, but there are indeed some entanglements." ”
"Then I'll give you a piece of advice." Lin Lin leaned forward and said incomprehensibly, "Just take it as a gift for you when we reunite." ”
