Chapter 5 The Eagle Project
When Lin Xue returned home, her whole body was upset. She has always been a very calm woman, no matter what happens, she will deal with it very sensibly.
But today, she was actually annoyed by Lin Yuan's two or three words! She felt that this was very different from herself, and just when she was still wondering why, He Xu's voice came from the kitchen.
"The rice is cooked, and there is your favorite vinegar pork ribs......"
When He Xu came out with the dishes, he saw Lin Xue get up from the sofa and walk towards the second floor, leaving only a faint sentence: "I don't have an appetite today, you can eat." ”
Back in the room, Lin Xue closed the door and leaned against the door, not knowing why her heart was beating so fast. It was a feeling she had never felt before, and it was wonderful and irritating.
"Is it because of him?" Lin Xue muttered to herself in a low voice.
Thinking of He Xu, Lin Xue immediately shook her head and denied the idea in her heart, she felt that there must have been too many things that had happened recently, and she was too tired to think like this.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
There was a knock on the door.
"Who?!"
"It's me...... What's wrong with you today? ”
"I didn't ...... It's okay......"
"Then open the door, I have something to tell you."
After tidying up her collar, Lin Xue opened the door and saw He Xu holding a plate of fruit in his hand: "Seeing that you have been tired recently, maybe the greasy things are not appetizing, I have prepared fruit for you......"
He paused: "Can I come in?" ”
Lin Xue looked at the man in front of her who was "familiar" and couldn't be "familiar" anymore, and didn't know why she suddenly felt an inexplicable strangeness.
But this strangeness is not very annoying.
"Well, come in, I have something to tell you too."
After entering the house, He Xu put the fruit on the table and sat on the sofa next to him. This should be the second time he came to this room with Lin Xue's consent, and I remember that the first time I came was because Lin Xue needed to move the bookcase at that time......
Lin Xue's room was large, but it was very simple and clean, except for a huge bookcase, there was only a table, a sofa, and a wardrobe with some clothes.
"I ......"
"You ......"
The two spoke at the same time.
"Let's talk first." He Xu smiled.
Lin Xue's face was expressionless, and she returned to her usual coldness: "Why didn't you come to my company today?" Didn't I tell you about it yesterday? Start working at the office today. ”
"That's right, recently I had a friend who came to Beichuan to do business and happened to find me, and I wanted to go over there to help. This is to avoid unnecessary gossip and to help my friend. ”
"Gossip?" Lin Xue sneered: "Do you think I care about those gossips?" I've been used to it since I married you. The mouth grows on others, and what others like to say is his business. If you really want to silence someone, the easiest way to do that is to prove your worth. I asked you to come to work because I wanted you to learn more from me. ”
He Xu was a little hesitant, he originally planned to only be a behind-the-scenes promoter to help Lin Xue reduce some of the burden, and he didn't want to reveal his identity, but now Lin Xue's words had to make him reconsider and plan.
"Okay, then I'll go to work tomorrow." He Xu agreed directly.
Originally, Lin Xue thought that He Xu was going to say more, but he didn't expect him to agree so decisively, and suddenly they were a little speechless, and suddenly both of them fell into silence.
"Don't you have something to tell me?" Lin Xue asked.
"Do you know the eaglet?"
Lin Xue was stunned for a moment, looked at He Xu, and saw him continue: "The boss of that company is a friend of mine, and the relationship is not bad. I heard him say that he needs to work with a developer recently, so I asked you if there is a need for this, and if so, I will talk to him about it when the time comes. ”
"The Eagle is your friend's company?!"
Lin Xue looked at He Xu in surprise, she couldn't be more familiar with the man in front of her, a third-rate college graduate, the family situation was a mess, her mother died because she had no money to see a doctor, how could this kind of person have such a rich friend?
As the current pillar of the family, only she knows how much pressure Lin Xue has on weekdays. This time, as long as he reaches a cooperation with the young eagle, he can be said to be one step closer to the position of heir. The most important thing is that it can also reduce one of the strongest competitors, that is, his cousin Lin Yuan!
So this time, as long as she can catch any opportunity to catch the young eagle, she will not let go, even if the man in front of her is telling a lie, she has to believe it.
"Yes. It was a classmate in elementary school, and he later stayed abroad, and it was only recently that he learned that he was back. He Xu made up nonsense without changing his face.
"Do you know what happened today?" Lin Xue sighed and said.
He Xu shook his head, pretending not to know. For today's events, in fact, there is no need to think about it, He Xu also knows what happened, after all, all this is his own game, and its purpose is very simple, it is for the woman in front of him, and his honorary wife who has been married for two years.
Lin Xue told He Xu that the content of today's meeting could be said completely, if it were before, she would never have said so much to this man.
After listening to Lin Xue's words, He Xu looked pensive, and after half a sound, he said: "Leave this matter to me, I will pick you up at your company tomorrow, and then we will go to find my friend." ”
Lin Xue, who was about to agree, hesitated suddenly: "How can you pick me up?" ”
"Didn't I ask you for a few hundred yuan a few days ago......" He Xu smiled a little embarrassedly: "The little electric donkey I bought before was broken, and if you ask for money, you will repair it, it has been repaired today, and tomorrow I will ride the little electric donkey to pick you up, and then we will go over together." ”
Looking at He Xu's smirk, I don't know why Lin Xue felt a sad feeling in her heart. I couldn't say anything I wanted to say no more, and in the end it just turned into one word: "Okay." ”
……
Dad Lin didn't come back in the evening, and Dad Lin still counted He Xu as usual, basically without stopping, until He Xu entered the room, and the voice stopped abruptly.
Lin Xue, who was sitting on the desk in her room, smiled helplessly, closed the notebook, and went downstairs to pour water with a water glass.
"Mom, can you talk less every day?"
"What's wrong? Got you arguing? Mother Lin asked with a concerned face.
"It's not that I am noisy, it's just that you talk so much all day, aren't you tired?"
"Tired?" Saying that, Mother Lin leaned over and whispered, "My baby daughter, I'm not doing this for your good?" You think I want to be so noisy? Am I not pushing that? Your dad doesn't agree to the divorce, and when the time comes, as long as that wretch speaks himself, all the problems will be solved......"
Speaking of this, she gritted her teeth: "I really don't know if that wretch is a piece of wood!" It's useless for me to say that every day, if I had been a different person, I would have ...... But it's also a waste like him, and he can't starve to death if he leaves our Lin family and goes out. ”
Listening to Lin Ma's nagging, Lin Xue couldn't help but look at the innermost room in the house, the door was closed, and she couldn't help but have a thought in her mind: What is he doing in the room every night?
"I'm talking to you, what's the point?"
Lin Xue came back to her senses and smiled: "Mom, you don't have to worry about this matter, okay." Didn't you say last time that you were going to Hawaii with Aunt Li and them? Just in the past few days, my dad is not at home, you prepare, tomorrow I will book you a plane ticket and a hotel. ”
Mother Lin, who was not in a good mood, heard this, her eyes lit up, and she hugged Lin Xue's arm: "I know that my daughter is the best for me!" It's a shame that I didn't raise you in vain, only you feel sorry for your mother. ”
"All right, my dearest mother, go and make an appointment with your sister."
"Yes, yes, yes, I still have to call your Aunt Li and them......" Mother Lin said and took her mobile phone back to her room.
After arriving at the water, Lin Xue held the cup in both hands, didn't know what she was thinking, bit her lip and walked to the door of He Xu's room.
Just as she was about to knock on the door, the door was suddenly opened, and she saw He Xu wearing a somewhat shrunken pajamas, revealing some strong chest muscles, and the whole person had obviously just taken a shower, and his hair was still a little watery.
Both of them were stunned at the same time.
"You haven't slept yet?" He Xu was the first to ask.
"Oh...... I'm almost asleep. ”
"Looking for me?"
Lin Xue suddenly didn't dare to look directly at the man in front of her, and her eyes were on He Xu's room: "Can I go in?" ”
He Xu was a little confused, what is going on with this woman today?
Nodding, he opened the door and let Lin Xue walk in.
Lin Xue's house is a townhouse, with a total of two floors, and the second floor is the room where Lin Xue and his parents live, with a balcony, a living room, and a cloakroom. The first floor is relatively small, with only three rooms, two guest rooms and a storage room of less than twenty square meters.
Since Lin Xue and He Xu got married, the storage room was vacated for He Xu to live in, and she couldn't remember how long she hadn't been to this room.
After entering the room, she found that it was even more neat and clean than her own room, there was no dust on the floor, a bed 1.2 meters wide and 2 meters long occupied a large part of the entire room, and two white shirts and socks were hung in the window with hangers.
An inferior mahogany desk leans against the wall with a plastic chair next to it.
She even had some doubts, was this room really her home? How did it come to be like this?
It's out of place here.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at He Xu again, this man seemed to be the same as this room, they were all so different, what could make a one-meter-eight man endure here for two years?
Is he really because he likes me?
Thinking about it, Lin Xue's face suddenly became slightly hot......
