"Shouldn't I doubt you?" Liang Jiu didn't know what kind of answer he would hear, "So you admit that you know Quan Xiaorui?" Then tell me, what is your relationship with her? ”

Fang Xun didn't expect to be forced to ask by Liang Jiu, he hadn't seen him for a few months, this girl had really changed.

"Quan Xiaorui is your classmate, I have nothing to do with her."

"But you've been seen talking together, more than once."

"If it's at a party, it's just normal socializing." Fang Xun's face didn't change, "I don't quite understand, you care so much about what Quan Xiaorui does, is it because of Lin Bei's relationship." ”

Liang Jiu was speechless for a while when he said this, and sat on the bed angrily, "I'm angry, but you have something to hide from me, you obviously know Quan Xiaorui, but the last time I asked you to check the whole family, you pretended not to know." ”

Fang Xun knew that Liang Jiu had dispelled his doubts, and he sighed softly.

Liang Jiu looked at him innocently, "Are you still wronged?" ”

"Liang Jiu, you're angry with me, right?"

"I didn't." Liang Jiu didn't admit it, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not right for him to extend his dislike for Quan Xiaorui to Fang Xun.

Fang Xun sat on the edge of the bed, slowly raised her wrist, and then stared at the pink gem, his tone became almost pleading, "Come back to England with me." ”

Liang Jiu lowered her head but didn't speak, her gaze stayed on Fang Xun's broad palm, remembering the feeling she liked to be held by him the most, like a child without a home who had found a home.

Fang Xun didn't understand why Liang Jiu just didn't say anything, before he came back, he thought that it would be an easy thing to take Liang Jiu back, and even said that he thought this was what Liang Jiu was most eagerly looking forward to.

He didn't want to force her, so he had to pat her head and whisper, "It's okay, whatever, if you still want to spend more time in China, I'll go back to the UK and wait for you." ”

Liang Jiu felt that his nose was sore, and tears almost welled up.

She knew in her heart that the reason why she didn't want to go back to England was because she didn't want to see him in pairs with others.

Liang Jiu stretched out his hand to blacken the bedside lamp, and the kimono got into the quilt and hummed, the ring on his hand flashed with a faint light, just like her heart for the other party, humble and difficult to ignore.

"You take the ring, it's a wish of mine."

"Fang Xun." Liang Jiu stopped his steps and asked weakly, "You...... and Patricia......"

Fang Xun looked back at her, and he couldn't see his expression clearly in the night, but Liang Jiu could feel his body suddenly tense, and she seemed to know the answer.

"Forget it, don't tell me." Liang Jiu turned his back to him and said sullenly, "I don't want to know either." ”

After a while, there was no movement in the room, and Liang Jiu pricked up his ears to listen carefully, not knowing what was going on behind him.

After a few more minutes, she really couldn't help but turn around, and then she saw Fang Xunzheng standing there with a frown, not knowing what she was thinking, and only came back to her senses after hearing the sound of her turning over, and then approached the bed.

"Liang Jiu, about Patricia......"

"Don't say it, I don't want to hear it."

Fang Xun didn't want this to become an obstacle between the two of them, so he held down her hand that wanted to cover her face and told her word by word, "She and I have nothing else but what you read in the newspaper." ”

Liang Jiu held her breath, such an answer was what she was looking forward to, but she didn't dare to believe it all, for fear that she wouldn't be able to accept it when things developed to an uncontrollable point in the future, so she responded lightly, "I know." ”

"You ......"

"You go to dinner first, I'll clean up and go down." Liang Jiu intercepted his words, then got up and pushed him out.

When the door closed, she felt that the corner in her heart that was always open to Fang Xun was gone, and she looked at the ring on her hand for a moment, and then gently faded the ring.

On the other side of the door, Fang Xun leaned there and stood quietly.

He couldn't help but think of the afternoon scene in the infirmary, and he closed his eyes and felt that his shoulders were heavy and sore.

It was the after-effects of running around day and night, and he turned on his phone, and he still had a lot of work to deal with.

***

The next day, when Lin Bei came in the morning, he heard a noise outside, and he went to the window to look out, and felt that the sound was coming from the garden.

He thought it was strange, could it be that his father had returned from a business trip?

He followed the sound and went downstairs, then stopped in front of the glass door that led to the garden.

He heard Lin Zeran say in a voice full of anger and had to be lowered, "You don't care about this matter, the group lawyer will handle it, and she must get a divorce." ”

"Well, send a private lawyer, and don't let the people in the group know about these things." Mrs. Lin reluctantly persuaded, "It's not good that Quan Ying's matter is too big. ”

"The group's lawyer team is top-notch, and it is even more uneasy to let others do it." Lin Zeran turned his back and said in an ordered tone, "There is a problem in Hong Kong again, you can go next week." ”

"Are you going to the United States again?" Every time she goes to Hong Kong, it is because Lin Zeran wants to meet Quan Ying privately, which has become an unwritten tacit understanding between the two, but Quan Ying's divorce has been rumored recently, and he went to see Quan Ying at this time.

Lin Zeran didn't speak, Lin Bei knew that his father must have been frowning again, looking at his mother with a lofty gaze, which reminded her of the unbearable past, and finally succumbed to guilt.

"Mom, Dad, when did you come back?" Lin Bei pretended to walk into the garden easily, looking like he had just woken up, "Why didn't you tell me in advance." ”

Lin Zeran and his wife looked at each other, and asked with a stiff face, "Are you well?" ”

Lin Bei smiled relievedly, "I'm not sick, I may have been tired recently." ”

"You have to prepare for the exam and tutor Liang Jiu again, it's because you're tired like this, I heard yesterday that you were sick, and we rushed back overnight." Mother Lin asked with concern, "Have you eaten breakfast, I asked the kitchen to prepare shrimp porridge, wash your face and eat." ”

Lin Bei nodded, "Mom, are you going to Hong Kong to run errands again, you have been on a lot of business trips recently." ”

"We are busy with work, you just study hard, and you can go to the factory below for an internship if you don't take the first winter vacation of the grade at the end of the semester." Lin Zeran has always had high requirements for this son, and added, "Grandpa will have a big birthday next month, and you will have to fight for it." ”

"I see." Lin Bei saw that his father was leaving, and quickly stopped him, "Dad, I have something to say." ”

Lin Zeran looked sideways and motioned for him to say.

"I need a week off for winter break." Ryashibetsu refers to the annual vacation of internship within the group, and for the successor of a company, his vacation is spent in the study of business.

"The winter vacation is already short, and you still need to rest? I'm going to send you to the southern branch this year, which is the center of gravity of the whole group, and I need more time to get acquainted with it. Lin Zeran is always very cautious when encountering the company's affairs, Lin Bei has used the vacation time to study in the company since he was 12 years old, and he has never complained in these years, why did he suddenly want to rest?

Mother Lin saw that Lin Zeran's eyebrows were raised, and immediately said, "He will be in his third year of high school next year, and the study task will definitely be heavier, otherwise don't go to the company to study during this winter vacation, and recharge your energy to prepare for the college entrance examination next year." ”

Lin Zeran felt that what she said was reasonable, so he asked Lin Bei, "Is it because of this, or is there another reason." ”

"Dad, just take a week out before and after the Spring Festival, and I'll go to other places for a walk."

"Out-of-town? Where to. Lin Zeran and Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Bei together and felt that his proposal was very strange.

"I want to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where the scenery is better in winter."

Lin Zeran was not ready to agree to Lin Bei's request, but at this time, Mrs. Lin gently pushed his arm, "Let the child relax and relax." ”

Thinking that Lin Bei has always been excellent in learning, Lin Zeran rarely relented, "I can promise you, the premise is that you will take the French C2 test next month, and then you must be the first in the grade at the end of the semester." ”

Lin Zeran left after speaking, and Lin Mu approached and patted Lin Bei on the shoulder, "It's okay to take a rest, I'm too tired during this time, so I'll push the matter over there from Liang Jiu." ”

"It's fine, it's just tuition." Lin Bei said lightly, "Besides, she can teach me English." ”

"I heard that her brother has returned to China, and I invited them to my house for dinner on the weekend, and I promised Liang Jiu last time."

Lin Bei was stunned, "Her brother should be very busy on a business trip back to China, or forget it." ”

"You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll call Liang Jiu." Mother Lin said and glanced at her son, who was still in a daze, and urged, "Go wash up and eat." ”

Lin Bei looked at his mother with a solemn face, he actually wanted to ask about Quan Ying, but in the end he chose to remain silent.

***

"To Hangzhou?" Fang Xun poured the milk and put it in front of Liang Jiu, and when he heard her suddenly say that she was going to Hangzhou, he was stunned for a second, and then he immediately understood, "Are you going to go this time?" ”

"I want to go to the exam at the end of the cycle."

Fang Xun calculated the time, he would go back to London next week, if that was the case, then Liang Jiu must be unwilling to go back with him.

"You're going to start applying for university, or going to school is more important, come back to the UK with me to prepare for the application, and I'll take you to Hangzhou next year."

Liang Jiu shook his head, if she was forced to return to China, but going to her father's hometown has always been her wish, since she has returned to China, there is no reason not to go and see.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Fang Xun couldn't figure out whether she proposed to go to Hangzhou because she didn't want to go back to the UK or something, but she had to agree, "If the work can be arranged, I will take you there this weekend, by the way, the mayor's wife invited us to dinner tonight, and I will pick you up after class." ”

Liang Jiu frowned and asked reluctantly, "Don't go...... Isn't it okay? ”

Fang Xun was teased by her, "Be good, just accompany me, huh?" ”
