Chapter 124: Bad Character
If you carefully explore the meaning of "this time" in Lin Hengzhi's mouth, there are enough possibilities.
Lin Xuan's heart sank, his last guess was not wrong, Lin Hengzhi must know something.
Lin Juan clenched his mobile phone and opened his mouth silently, the temptation that surged to his throat was about to come out, but he forcibly suppressed it.
Believe it? Can you believe it?
What awaits her in front of her, will it be an abyss?
Perhaps because Lin Juan had been silent for too long, Lin Hengzhi's somewhat puzzled voice sounded:
"Sister, did you hear that?"
Lin Juan came back to his senses and settled down:
"I hear you."
She realized that in the few seconds she had, her back had become a little cold, and a fine layer of cold sweat had appeared.
"That's good."
Lin Hengzhi's tone was a little low, and he asked her enthusiastically how the weather was and how she was in her mood recently, and what interesting things had happened recently.
Lin Juan didn't have the heart to talk to him more, so he made an excuse and hung up the phone in a hurry.
"Your brother's birthday." Su Li saw that Lin Juan had finished talking on the phone, so he spoke leisurely, "I feel like you don't have a good relationship." ”
"It's not good."
Lin Juan did not explain the complicated reasons for the family in detail, and hastily brought it over, and the mobile phone clicked and received a message.
It's from Ye Qingying.
Lin Juan clicked on the dialog box with her mother, and Ye Qingying pushed over a personal business card:
"Wanwan, I forgot, your uncle is in our family group! This is his business card, what are you looking for him? ”
Seeing that Lin Juan didn't reply for a long time, Ye Qingying also sent several question marks.
Of course, Lin Juan couldn't tell her mother about these things she encountered, so after thinking about it, she found a slightly more reliable statement:
"The research I did in my graduation thesis encountered a bit of a bottleneck, isn't my uncle engaged in academics? I also thought I would ask him and maybe improve a little bit of new thinking. ”
"I see."
Ye Qingying didn't doubt her daughter's statement, Lin Juan has studied hard since she was a child, and she didn't let her worry about anything in terms of learning.
Lin Juan thought that he couldn't find Lin Zhiyi's contact information, but he didn't expect to have nowhere to find when he stepped on the iron shoes.
Soon applied to add Lin Zhiyi's WeChat, and it can be seen that the other party rarely uses this social software, and even the avatar is still blank by default, and even the name is a string of random garbled characters.
Lin Juan clicked into his page - sure enough, people who don't even have an avatar can't post any moments.
There is no trace of life at all, if it weren't for the other party's quick approval of the friend request, Lin Juan would almost have to wonder if this WeChat is still in use.
Just as Lin Juan was hesitating how to greet this completely unfamiliar relative, the words that the other party was typing suddenly popped up at the top of the screen.
"Who? What's the matter? ”
Concise.
Lin Juan hurriedly typed and replied: "Uncle, I'm Lin Juan." ”
"Lin Juan?" The other party repeated it, and it seemed that he had no impression of the name at all, Lin Juan's face was embarrassed, and he saw that the other party had withdrawn, and then a WeChat call came.
Lin Juan was in a hurry all of a sudden, one hand slipped, and he was directly connected, and Lin Zhiyi opened his mouth and asked:
"You're Lin Zheng's daughter?"
"Yes."
Even if he didn't want to admit that he was related to that person, Lin Juan could only nod at this time.
"Oh, it's a bit of an impression, I haven't seen you for a long time, what's the matter with me?"
It's back again.
Lin Juan rubbed her temples and suddenly had a headache.
This uncle really doesn't understand the world at all, and his relatives who are not familiar with him meet every New Year's Day, everyone will pretend to greet each other, Lin Zhiyi obviously knows that he is his niece, or is there something wrong with a cold sentence.
Will he be able to get along at work like this?
"Nothing else." Lin Juan glanced at Su Li, remembering the date he just said, it seemed even stranger if he used the excuse of his brother's birthday, and thought about it for a while, "I wish you... Happy Father's Day? ”
There was silence on the other end.
Lin Juan was also silent, and Su Li, who heard Lin Juan say this, fell silent even if he didn't understand what was going on on the phone.
After a long silence, Lin Juan took a long breath when he heard the other end of the phone.
Lin Zhiyi's voice came again:
“…… Thank you, even though Father's Day was last month, and besides, I haven't been a father yet. ”
Lin Juan wanted to get into the ground at that moment, but he could only bite the bullet and continue to talk nonsense:
"I just thought that I hadn't seen you for many years, and it was good to say a few words in contact, and to get acquainted with each other."
Lin Zhiyi's answer became more direct:
"There's no need."
Lin Juan was silent again.
She was almost going crazy.
How can there be such a bad character in the world? Is anyone really able to get along with such a person? Why did she suffer this embarrassing sin now?
"Haha...... How could it not be necessary? We're all a family, uncle, you haven't been home much over the years, I told my mother ......"
Lin Juan was halfway through his words, when he suddenly heard a sudden noise on the other end of the phone.
In a somewhat rapid electric sound, the sound of opening the door and footsteps could be discerned vaguely, as if someone had entered Lin Zhiyi's room and was talking to him.
From that end came the staccato words, until the last:
"Madrid, why is your phone screen on? Didn't you shut down when you entered the renovation room? ”
The other party's English has a thick accent, and Lin Juan is not sure which country it is, so he can only roughly understand the meaning.
Retrofit room?
Lin Juan just wanted to continue listening, but was hung up on the other end of the phone.
It wasn't like a cut-off, it was more like it couldn't continue the call, there was no cold mechanical female voice, but a string of stabbing snowflake electricity.
Madrid? Is that the English name of Lin Zhiyi?
What is he modifying?
Didn't you go to do a drug research experiment? Or is it because the local English translation is different and you misunderstand it?
"Let's eat first."
Su Li saw that Lin Juan's face was not very good, and said softly. The latter said lightly, put his phone aside, and began to concentrate on eating.
Until the dining table was cleaned up, there was no movement from the mobile phone, Lin Juan hesitated for a moment, but still dialed back.
This time, Lin Zhiyi did not connect, but hung up directly.
Lin Juan was inevitably a little frustrated, according to this mode of getting along, even if Lin Zhiyi knew something, it would never be possible to reveal clues to help her.
It was getting late, and the two of them went back to their rooms, washed up and got ready to rest.
Lin Juan was lying on the soft bed, her eyes had been closed, but her chaotic thoughts still disturbed her from sleeping.
