Chapter Forty-Eight: Someone Else?
That night, Liang Jiu received an invitation from Mrs. Lin, when she was sitting on the sofa in the study playing mobile games, and Fang Xun answered the phone when the call came in.
Fang Xun agreed almost without thinking, and his tone was also very gentle, Liang Jiu secretly looked at his expression, and then was caught by Fang Xun.
"Before Liang Xianyun returned to China, I told me that I must meet with the Lin family, because their group's overseas market expanded very much last year." Fang Xun sat down next to Liang Jiu and looked at the back of her empty hand, since he gave the ring, the relationship between the two had become a little delicate, and he couldn't say what was wrong, "You don't want to go?" ”
She quickly shook her head.
"Is it because of Lin Zeran's things that make you uncomfortable?"
"Maybe."
Fang Xun touched her face, "The adult world is so dirty, so I don't want you to know this. ”
Liang Jiu dodged his hand, "Are you not going to take me to Hangzhou." ”
"I'm too busy at work, how about next time." Fang Xun walked back to the desk and sat down, and began to work in front of the computer, "I'm going back to the UK next week, should your ticket be booked?" ”
Liang Jiu restarted the game in a muffled voice, "I'm going to Hangzhou." ”
Fang Xun's eyebrows furrowed, and his sculpted face sank into the shadows, "Don't make trouble." ”
"I'm going."
***
Because the matter in Hangzhou was not settled, Liang Jiu and Fang Xun did not speak for an afternoon, and after five o'clock, the Lin family really sent a car to pick them up.
As soon as the car door opened, there was already a person sitting inside, it was Lin Bei.
"Get in the car." Lin Bei said hello, and then stretched out his hand to Liang Jiu, "Come up." ”
After Liang Jiu got into the car, he closed the door, leaving Fang Xun to stand alone by the car.
Fang Xun was not angry, and sat directly in the co-pilot's position, Lin Bei greeted him very politely, and he replied in a formal manner.
The car drove smoothly, and Liang Jiu wanted to talk to Lin Bei several times, because Lin Bei always kept a distance from herself these days, and she was a little unaccustomed to it.
It's a pity that Lin Bei didn't even look at her, as if she didn't exist, Liang Jiu could only give up.
The car drove directly to the Lin family's main house and stopped, the door on Liang Jiu's side was opened from the outside, she got out of the car, and saw that Fang Xun had already talked to Mrs. Lin, Lin Bei came to her side at this time, and the two walked side by side behind the adults.
The meal was served on a semi-open-air terrace at the end of the living room, with tables already set and facing a view of the lake.
The Lin family's house was built on the top of the mountain, and the lake must have been dug by hand, but nothing could be seen from the outside for such a large project.
At this time, the sun was setting, and the delicacy of the lake was so good that people couldn't take their eyes off it, Fang Xun suddenly smiled, "Mrs. Lin will really enjoy it, and she can enjoy such a scenery exclusively." ”
"This house was handed down from the previous generation, and Lin Bei's grandfather liked natural scenery, so he chose such a place." Mrs. Lin sat down, although she was already a middle-aged woman, she was maintained like a woman in her early thirties.
Liang Jiu thought of those rumors about the Lin family, and deeply felt that Mrs. Lin was not easy, and a trace of pity rose in his heart.
"Liang Jiu also likes the kind of small town away from the city, and when I was in Europe, I was clamoring to let me take her on a road trip every holiday." Fang Xun said and looked at Liang Jiu, who was sitting opposite, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with tenderness.
The servants began to serve dishes one after another, all of which were exquisite and delicious, and Liang Jiu was worried that the Lin family's food was too vegetarian, but he was relieved after seeing a few meat dishes one after another.
Lin Bei sandwiched a piece of pork ribs into Liang Jiu's bowl, the action was very natural, Liang Jiu felt a little embarrassed, so he also picked a piece from the plate and put it in Lin Jiu's bowl.
Mrs. Lin smiled, "These two children are tired of being together all day long, and they are like a family." ”
"I heard that Lin Bei has been working very hard to tutor Liang Jiu these days, and I have to thank you here for causing you a lot of trouble." Fang Xun said and drank a glass of wine, although he grew up in a foreign country, he was very familiar with the polite manners of Chinese banquets.
"Where is this, Lin Bei's personality is very cold, and I want to thank Liang Jiu for being willing to be friends with this wooden stick."
Mrs. Lin's voice is particularly soft, and at first glance she is a gentle and virtuous wife and daughter, Liang Jiu can't imagine how such a person can survive in this family.
"Lin Bei did help me a lot, and thank you Auntie for being willing to let him tutor me." Liang Jiu was grateful to them from the bottom of his heart, "I just returned to China, and I don't fit in many places, and if it wasn't for Lin Bei, I might have collapsed long ago." ”
Lin Bei finally reacted, he looked sideways, his eyes were dark and shining, "Don't be so polite." ”
The meal was very smooth, Mrs. Lin was a very approachable woman, the atmosphere of the meal was surprisingly harmonious, Liang Jiu even had a feeling of being in a different world, because the atmosphere was too harmonious, she felt more delicious when she ate.
After the meal, Fang Xun and Mrs. Lin entered the living room when they had something to discuss, Lin Bei took Liang Jiu to the deck chair by the terrace, they sat facing the lake, at this time the breeze was blowing, and the coolness gradually rose.
Lin Bei took a thin blanket and draped it over Liang Jiu's body and asked her, "Fang Xun seems to care about you, what are you going to do?" ”
Liang Jiu was still trapped in the beautiful scenery in front of him, but he was pulled back to reality by Lin Bei at once, "What to do." ”
"I heard he's getting engaged, with that foreign girlfriend."
Liang Jiu looked at him sharply, "You are talking nonsense. ”
Lin Bei knew that she hadn't cared about the news recently, "Are you stupid?" The news is out. ”
Liang Jiu depressedly remembered that she hadn't paid attention to these for a long time, firstly, it was this exam week, and her mobile phone had already been confiscated by Fang Xun, so she was asked to review it well, and secondly, she was with Fang Xun almost every day, and she couldn't use her mobile phone.
Thinking of this, her brows furrowed, and she didn't want to admit that she didn't know, "News is just news." ”
"He didn't tell you." Lin Bei hit the nail on the head, with suspicion in his eyes.
"This week I'm taking exams...... So ......"
Seeing that Liang Jiu was still looking for excuses for Fang, Lin Bei's heart was numb, and he approached her and whispered, "Don't you think that you have been tricked?" ”
"You are not allowed to say that about him, you know what." Liang Jiu turned his face away in distraught.
"Don't you want to say? I'll see when he's going to tell you. Lin Bei turned his head to look at the desolate lake, and suddenly his tone changed, "Don't you want to go to Hangzhou, I can take you there." ”
Liang Jiu was stunned, "How do you know I want to go?" ”
"I also know that he won't take you there."
***
Because of Lin Bei's words, Liang Jiu's feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger, and after leaving Lin Bei's house, the first thing she did was to get her mobile phone back.
Fang Xun took out his mobile phone from the drawer of the desk and handed it to him, his eyes were puzzled, "Didn't you say that your mobile phone affects your review." ”
Liang Jiu glanced at him, left with a weak heart, she rushed back to her room, and then began to search for news about Fang Xun on the Internet, sure enough, he was going to get engaged!
"Liang Jiu, what's wrong with you?" Fang Xun felt worried about Liang Jiu's reaction just now and followed, but was locked out of her room.
Liang Jiu stuffed his head in the pillow, and he couldn't tell what it was like.
"You open the door first, okay?" Fang Xun knocked on the door, he probably knew why.
The door didn't open until a long time later, Fang Xun's hand that kept knocking on the door almost hit her head, he was stunned for a moment, only to see Liang Jiu's eyes in front of him red, he immediately walked into the room and closed the door, "You listen to me......"
"You just don't want to tell me anything, you never say anything." Liang Jiu avoided his hug and ran to the side of the bed, and then looked at him aggrievedly, "The whole world knows, but I don't know." ”
"Lin Bei told you." Fang Xun's eyes gathered cold, and he walked closer, "I didn't want to hide it from you, it was because I knew that you would react like this, so I wanted to wait for you to return to the UK." ”
"Back to England? Do you think it's necessary for me to go back now? Liang Jiu pushed him away and asked word by word, "What do you think of me?" Watching you get engaged, wishing you to get married, and then being a disgraceful lover for you? Or, do you want me to call you brother? Brother? ”
"Don't mention those two words in front of me!" Fang Xun stretched out his hand to take the person into his arms, and then said to her in a warning tone, "Liang Jiu, you listen to me, you must go back to the UK with me this time, because I know that you have someone else in your heart, I can forgive you, but I can't let you stay here!" ”
Liang Jiu's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it, in her heart, there was someone else?
