Chapter 63
"No need to say I'm sorry, just cooperate with me." Lin Bei took the book from her hand, "Don't walk around by yourself in the future, the slightest movement about you now will cause criticism, I just started to take over the company's business, these are not good for me." ”
"I see." Liang Jiu stood up to face him, erasing the sadness in her heart, she smiled faintly, "Let's eat first." ”
During the meal, the two were silent, although the food was delicious, but Liang Jiu was like a fish in his throat.
After the meal, she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Lin Bei followed into the kitchen.
Liang Jiu didn't understand what he was going to do, and then he saw him rinse all the dishes and bowls, and then turned on the dishwasher under the closet and put all the dishes and chopsticks in it.
Turns out there was a dishwasher......
Liang Jiu felt that she was stupid enough, the dishwasher was built-in, but why didn't she think of this.
Seeing that Lin Bei quickly cleaned up the kitchen, Liang Jiu stood there a little embarrassed.
"There's a party tonight, don't wait for me." Lin Bei said and returned to the room, and a few minutes later, he changed into a light-colored suit and walked out.
"What about you...... Do you want to pay it back? ”
Lin Bei tied his tie for a moment, "Hmm." ”
Liang Jiu sent him to the door, and at the moment when the elevator closed, Liang Jiu still said.
"Drink less."
She saw Lin Bei raise her eyebrows, and a moment of softness flashed in her eyes, and that expression was the appearance in Liang Jiu's memory.
At half past eleven in the middle of the night, Liang Jiu, who was curled up on the sofa watching the drama, heard the movement outside, she hurriedly walked to the door, and saw Lin Bei walking out of the elevator tiredly, his cheeks were faintly flushed, holding a suit jacket in one hand and holding the wall with the other.
Liang Jiu hurriedly held him up, and then helped him put his coat away, Lin Bei glanced at her lightly, full of wine.
"Why did you drink so much?"
"The change of directors is all from uncles and uncles, and they must be accompanied."
She didn't expect Lin Bei to tell her this, his tone was familiar to Liang Jiu after he was less restrained on weekdays.
She went to make a cup of honey water, then found a towel soaked in water and handed it to him.
"Help me untie my tie." He said with his eyes closed.
Liang Jiu walked up to him and crouched down, carefully placed his hand on his neckline, and then expertly untied the tie.
As soon as he raised his eyes, Lin Bei's eyes were confused but he looked at himself intently.
Like, not too happy?
Liang Jiu took a step back, he reached out and grabbed her, then let go, and then pulled her into his arms.
"Who have you untied your tie before?"
Liang Jiu's face was pressed against his fiery chest, she couldn't see Lin Bei's expression, and she only guessed from his tense body that he was not in a good mood
What was she going to say? Was Fang Xun teaching her by hand?
The more silent she was, the more the answer was about to come out, and Lin Bei's gaze swept over her head, and he suddenly let go of his hand.
"My mom asked you to come home for dinner on weekends."
Liang Jiu was stunned for a moment, he got up and walked to the bedroom.
"My dad is too."
Liang Jiu showed an embarrassed expression, "Must ...... Do you have to go? ”
Lin Beier, who walked to the door of the bedroom, looked at her, "We are husband and wife, and eating with my parents makes you so embarrassed?" ”
She shook her head, she was actually afraid of affecting their family, but Lin Bei saw the resistance in her eyes.
He walked over to her, then pulled the man up and walked to the window.
"Why do you want to draw the curtains at night?" Lin Bei let her face the window, then pressed the button, the curtain slowly opened, and he said coldly, "Did I tell you that the view from this apartment is excellent." ”
The night bloomed in front of Liang Jiu's eyes, and when she saw the house again, her heart still couldn't help but throb.
He should hate himself, Liang Jiu thought, "It's good......"
The two of them stood there facing the whole starry sky, Liang Jiu felt that his nose was a little sour, after her mother had something like that, she never felt at peace for a moment, she knew that this thing was unforgivable, so she simply hid the sadness of losing her loved ones.
It's just that at this moment, why did her heart become so soft in front of Lin Bei.
"Lin Bei."
He thought she would be angry, but Liang Jiu didn't.
"Thank you for marrying me." Liang Jiu turned to look at him, "From now on, I will try my best to be a good wife, and you ...... Together. ”
His eyes flickered, "I hope you do what you say." ”
***
In the next few days, Lin Bei was so busy that he never came back to live, and Aunt Li began to ask what dishes to cook at night, and then simply asked Liang Jiu what he liked to eat.
On the weekend, Lin Bei sent a secretary to pick up Liang Jiu, a young woman wearing black professional clothes and very simple makeup.
The secretary told Liang Jiulin not to work overtime all the time, and asked Liang Jiu to go to Lin's house to wait for him first.
Liang Jiu was very quiet all the way, and the secretary secretly observed from the rearview mirror, remembering all the instructions that the boss had told her half an hour ago, she thought that Mrs. was so difficult to serve, she was obviously demure and elegant, and she couldn't understand what the boss was worried about.
When she arrived at Lin's house, Mrs. Lin was standing at the door, Liang Jiu got out of the car and greeted Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Lin smiled at her cordially.
I can't say what the reason is, Liang Jiu always feels sorry for Lin Bei's mother, because from the day she and Lin Bei decided to get married to the day of the wedding, she only saw this mother-in-law once, and that was the time when Lin Bei suddenly took her home to inform her parents of the marriage.
She knew that Lin Bei's parents would not approve of this marriage, and she thought that marriage would take a long time, but Lin Bei was very tough about setting the wedding time, and then it would be the wedding.
"Liang Jiu, last time you left in such a hurry, we haven't talked yet."
"Lin Bei has been very busy lately, so ......"
Mother Lin took Liang Jiu's hand soothingly, "It's okay, I understand." ”
Mother Lin asked the maid to get busy, and then took Liang Jiu upstairs, "I thought you would still live at home after marriage, but Lin Bei has to move out now, the things in his room haven't been cleaned up yet, and it's just right that you came." ”
"Move out...... Is it? Liang Jiu thought that living in the apartment was only temporary, but he didn't expect that Lin Bei didn't plan to return to the old mansion at all.
Lin Bei's room Liang had been here a long time ago, and she still remembered the sound of the trees outside the window hitting the window frame slightly when she was sitting at the desk and listening to Lin Bei's papers. But standing here like this now, she felt that this place was very strange.
"Liang Jiu, although you and Lin Bei got married in a hurry, I'm still quite happy."
Liang Jiu was stunned by Mother Lin's words, "I ......"
"I know something happened to your family, it's not your fault, and I don't think you're at fault." Mother Lin walked to the window and stood, her eyes drifting into the distance, "You have to know that if it weren't for you, Lin Bei might have to marry another person, that's what Lin Bei's father wants to see." ”
"Another person? Who is it? ”
"Lin Bei shouldn't tell you, but you have to know sooner or later, there is still a person living in our family for so many years, her name is Quan Xiaorui, and you must know her mother, it is Quan Ying who died in the United States five years ago."
Liang Jiu was stunned, "Quan Xiaorui......?" ”
"Yes, I thought she would marry Lin Bei, so I was very happy to see you."
Mother Lin looked at Liang Jiu and suddenly asked, "Are you happy?" ”
Liang Jiu looked down at the palm of her hand, she had always felt that it was very strange that Lin Bei, who had not seen her for five years, suddenly wanted to marry her, especially after such a big incident happened in her family.
She had thought about many possibilities before, but she never thought that Lin Bei was just trying to escape from Quan Xiaorui.
"I'm afraid I'll drag Lin Bei down." Liang Jiu whispered, "I really don't want to drag him down, my family's affairs are too complicated." ”
Mother Lin looked at the girl in front of her and remembered when she first saw her five years ago, when Liang Jiu was the princess in the palm of everyone's hand, her eyes were always bright and confident, but in a few years, the girl who was supposed to grow up became so cautious.
"Do you still have family?" Lin Mu asked.
Liang Jiu was silent, she stood there motionless, as if time had stood still.
The maid knocked on the door, "Madam, Miss Quan has arrived." ”
"Got it, let her go to the antechamber."
Mother Lin walked to Liang Jiu's side, pointed to the row of bookshelves and said, "Lin Bei doesn't have any other hobbies, he just loves to read, and he seems to have written books for a while. ”
"Well, okay, Auntie."
"Liang Jiu, what should you call me?"
Liang Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then a little overwhelmed.
"It's time to call Mom." Mother Lin looked at her gently, "I liked you very much in the past, and I think you are similar to me." ”
Liang Jiu's heart warmed, and the emotions that she had been restraining almost got out of control, and she choked up and said, "Okay, Mom." ”
***
Lin Bei parked the car, and then saw Secretary Liu standing at the door, he was unhappy, and his face turned cold.
"Didn't you follow Liang Jiu, what are you doing standing here?"
Secretary Liu lowered his eyebrows and responded, "Mrs. Lin took Miss Liang upstairs and asked me to wait outside." ”
Lin Beiyan glanced at the red sports car parked there meaningfully, "When did Quan Xiaorui come?" ”
"Half an hour ago, I haven't met Miss Liang yet."
Lin Bei walked in briskly and said coldly, "I'll call Mrs. in the future." ”
I wanted to go upstairs directly to find Liang Jiu, but Quan Xiaorui came out of nowhere, and was stunned at the staircase.
"Lin Bei, you're back."
Lin Bei took a step back and kept his distance from Quan Xiaorui, and said impatiently, "Get out of the way." ”
"You didn't contact me when you came back, and you secretly got married, why are you like this." Quan Xiaorui said in a snorting voice.
Lin Bei glanced at her with disgust, this heavy makeup really didn't grow at all, "The wedding invitation was sent to you, you didn't come yourself." ”
"Didn't they help Uncle Lin go to Australia to deal with the company's affairs, and you didn't come back, you still blame me."
"Can you get out of the way?" He handed Secretary Liu a color, and Secretary Liu stepped forward to push Quan Xiaorui away.
"Why are you pushing me, Lin Bei, I have something to do with you." Quan Xiaorui put away her aggrieved expression, "There is a problem with the Australian branch, Uncle Lin called you today to discuss this, you come with me." ”
Lin Bei hesitated, it was right for him to annoy Quan Xiaorui, but he never had personal feelings at work, so he gave up going upstairs, turned around and walked to the study with Quan Xiaorui.
Lin Zeran was talking on the phone, and after seeing Quan Xiaorui and Lin Bei coming in, he hastily ended the call, and then glanced at Lin Bei sharply.
"I heard you're so busy living in the office every day, do you have time to go home today?"
"When you take over a new job, you have to learn a lot of things from scratch." Lin Bei sat down, his face expressionless.
"So let you and Xiaorui learn more, she has been working in the company for more than three years, and the development of the Australian company is basically completed by her alone, you have this ability."
Lin Bei snorted disdainfully, "Let's get down to business, what's wrong with the branch." ”
Lin Zeran didn't say anything more, so the three of them began an hour-long work meeting.
By the time the meeting was over, the sky had already begun to darken, and Lin Bei rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, he had been working continuously for 72 hours.
There was a gentle knock on the door of the study, and Quan Xiaorui got up to open the door.
Outside the door, stood Liang Jiu, who was called by Mrs. Lin to deliver tea and snacks, and the two looked at each other, and Quan Xiaorui was stunned for a second.
"Mom asked me to bring you something to eat." Liang Jiu smiled at Quan Xiaorui as a matter of course.
The two men who heard this voice in the study were stunned, Lin Bei didn't look back at the door, he heard the rustle of high heels on the carpet approaching little by little.
Immediately after, the familiar smell came to him.
He heard Liang Jiu's crisp and gentle voice ringing in his ears.
"Dad, let's have some tea."
Lin Zeran didn't move, the expression on his face was as serious as ever, Liang Jiu put the tea in front of Lin Zeran, and then put tea for Lin Bei and Quan Xiaorui.
"We're talking about things, you go down." Lin Zeran said coldly, "Don't come in casually in the future." ”
Liang Jiu hummed and turned around to leave.
Then, a hand grabbed her, the palm of which was hot, and took her wrist and pulled her closer.
"Let's get here today, I'll accompany Liang Jiu." Lin Bei's voice was very gentle, and he looked at Liang Jiu, "Why don't you let the maid do this?" ”
Liang Jiu smiled faintly and did not speak.
Lin Bei stood up, and without waiting for Lin Zeran's approval, he left the study with Liang Jiu.
Quan Xiaorui stared at the direction of the door for a long time, and then heard Lin Zeran say, "Xiaorui, what do you think of the prospects of this project." ”
