At that time, the Xu family was forced to stay up all night to keep watch for the little girls, and they were so sleepy that their heads were on the ground.

When the New Year's bell rang, Li Juxiang straightened her new clothes and sat on a chair in the living room, ready to receive the heads of several granddaughters.

This is the rule of the Xu family.

As soon as Chinese New Year's Eve passes twelve o'clock, no matter how young the grandchildren are, they must respectfully kowtow to her grandmother.

This head, after twelve o'clock in the night, the sooner you kowtow to the old lady, the more blessed the old lady will be.

The second brother's younger brother and younger brother have all kowtowed, and each of them got a red envelope of 100 yuan from Li Juxiang, and Xizizi went back to the house with his parents.

Xiao Xixi was the youngest and couldn't stay up all night, Lin Yuan was already sitting on the bed and falling asleep with her in her arms.

Li Juxiang didn't see Lin Yuan leading Xixi over to kowtow, and looked at her eldest son dissatisfied: "In other words, what about Xixi?" ”

Xu Yanzhi: "Mom, I'm going to call Xixi to come over." ”

Pushing open the door and entering, in the bedroom, Lin Yuan hugged the sleeping Xixi, and her head was almost asleep little by little.

Xu Yan asked Lin Yuan to help him do something after the year, and he didn't dare to speak too bluntly at this moment.

"Wife~"

Xu Yanzhi gently pushed Lin Kite's arm, Lin Kite woke up, looked at him in confusion, and then asked, "It's past twelve o'clock?" ”

Xu Yanzhi nodded.

"Okay." Lin Yuan gently patted Xixi's little buttocks, "Obediently, wake up, let's kowtow to grandma~"

Xiao Xixi rubbed her eyes and woke up, and the unhappiness on the little person's face was very straightforward.

"Mom, I want to sleep~"

Lin Yuan smiled and sighed: "Quick, kowtow to grandma and continue to sleep." ”

Xiao Xixi was reluctantly hugged out of bed by Lin Yuan, came to the living room, and still kowtowed to Li Juxiang obediently and said two auspicious words.

Li Juxiang smiled so much that her face was full of wrinkles, and she took out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it to Xixi.

said: "Wait for Xixi to have a younger brother next year, hold my younger brother to kowtow to grandma, okay?" ”

Xiao Xixi was so sleepy that she didn't answer, Lin Yuan barely squeezed out a smile: "Mom, I'll take Xixi in to sleep first." ”

Li Juxiang's face changed in a second, and after Lin Yuan entered the room with Xixi, she went to the kitchen to bring out the boiled medicine for conditioning her body and handed it to Xu Yanzhi.

God chattered: "In other words, go, let your daughter-in-law drink, after twelve o'clock, it is the beginning of the new year, and now I drink the most effective~"

Lin Yuan patted the joy that had fallen asleep again, and looked at the decoction brought by Xu Yanzhi, his face was a little embarrassed.

After her sister left a few days ago, she had already told her husband that no matter what the results of the examination were in the hospital, she didn't want to have a second child too soon.

She is happy to be able to go to kindergarten in the fall, and she wants to go out to work when the time comes.

But her husband's attitude was unclear at the time, neither agreed with her to go out to work, nor objected, and after a few days, she thought that her husband had acquiesced in not having a second child first.

Xu Yanzhi was thinking about how to get Lin Yuan to open his mouth and ask his brother-in-law to give him a project, but he didn't take Lin Yuan's words about finding a job to heart.

At this moment, seeing that she was embarrassed, she also began to think about this problem.

Now that he has his brother-in-law's thick thighs to hug, the divorce from Lin Kita naturally has to be put aside.

In the future, if he wants to live a good life with Amman, money is indispensable.

As for Lin Kite, she wants to go out to work.

No way.

Once a woman goes out and has her own business to do, there is a risk that she will not be under his control.

Moreover, if she goes out to work, who will pick her up when she goes to kindergarten?

He could only use the birth of a second child as an excuse to stop this fat woman for the time being.

As for the same room......

Drag it on.

"Drink, the matter of the second child, you just don't want to listen to what your mother says, and you also consider your age, you are not too young, you want it in the future, you are older, and it is also a risk to become an elderly mother."

The man's words were against his will, but Lin Yuan felt reasonable when he heard it.

After being silent for a long time, this woman who was tormented by pregnancy, childbirth, housework, and disfigurement, although tired, could still see the beautiful traces of her youth, and nodded in compromise:

"Okay, listen to you."

Holding the medicine bowl and drinking it all.

The bitterness of the decoction permeated her lips and teeth, but Lin Yuan didn't feel aggrieved at all.

She told herself that her husband was thinking about her body, so she decided to have a second child, after all, she is not young, and she will be twenty-eight years old after the end of the year.

After drinking the medicine, Lin Yuan lay down with her daughter in her arms, and the mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly buzzed, prompting that WeChat had come in.

She picked it up, and when she saw the strange and familiar avatar, she was in a trance.

Tap on WeChat.

Gu Chengfeng: [Lin Kite, Happy New Year. 】

Lin Yuan pursed her lips, and the faint blue light of the mobile phone made the expression on her face a little hazy.

She looked back on Cheng Feng: [Happy New Year. Put your phone back on the bedside table.

The night, slightly cool, Lin Yuan hugged her sleeping daughter in her arms, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, she lost sleep......

*

In February, spring returns to the earth, the snow melts, and everything shows signs of recovery.

During this vacation, except for Mr. Lu who came to be a guest, Lin Yu nested in the room every day to draw illustrations for the semi-finals.

Finally polished the final draft and handed it over to the editor Zimo, who said that the review period for the semi-finals was relatively long, and it was estimated that it would take until March and April.

Lin Yu was stunned and lay down for a few more days, until the morning of the start of work, and the post-holiday syndrome came as scheduled.

That morning, she received a call from her sister.

At the dinner table, she swallowed the milk in her mouth, and her spirit was a little lazy: "Sister? ”

Over there, Lin Kite's voice was a little embarrassed and timid: [Xuanyu, are you going to work today? 】

Lin Yu didn't hear the abnormality of her sister's voice, and stuffed a xiaolongbao into her mouth, her mouth was small, and her cheeks were bulging.

said vaguely: "Yes, sister~ What's wrong?" ”

Lu Zhenghan sandwiched a chopsticks and side dishes, and chewed them slowly and methodically in his mouth.

Seeing that this girl began to gobble up again, she curled her knuckles and tapped on the table as a reminder.

Lin Yu really ate slowly, and these days and nights, the two have reached a lot of tacit understanding.

Over there, Lin Kite seemed to be very entangled, and after hearing Lin Yu's inquiry, he didn't speak for a long time.

Lin Yu ate in a hurry to go to work, and holding her mobile phone with one hand affected her cooking, so she turned on the speakerphone and put the mobile phone on the table.

Pinch the bun in your left hand, hold the milk in your right hand, and eat it with a mouthful of milk and a mouthful of buns.

[Sister wants to tell you something......]

Lin Yu didn't think much about it: "Sister, you say." ”

[That's the case, Zheng Han doesn't work in the Lu Group? Can...... Can you tell your brother-in-law about it...... Project ......] Lin Kite said that this is no longer possible.

At this time, it was too late for Lin Yu to turn off the hands-free.

She didn't have time to chew a mouthful of buns in her mouth, she looked up in a daze, and met Lu Zhenghan's very calm and deep gaze.

Because of embarrassment and helplessness, Lin Yu's watery eyes swayed.

She reacted, retracted her gaze and picked up her phone, chewing on the bun: "Well, well, I know sister, I'm going to be late for work soon, so I won't tell you yet." ”

Hang up.

There was silence at the table, only Lu Zhenghan was drinking milk calmly, as if he hadn't heard what Lin Yuan said just now.

After a while, Lu Zhenghan wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue and got up: "Have you eaten enough?" ”

Lin Yu nodded sluggishly: "It's full." ”

The tall man put away the dishes and chopsticks in silence, entered the kitchen, came out three minutes later, wiped his hands: "Let's go, send you to work." ”

The air conditioner in the car is turned on warmly, isolating the cold of late winter and early spring.

Lin Yu sat in the co-pilot, his eyes staring at the fogged windowpane.

A group of people who are uncomfortable in their hearts.

She and Lu Zhenghan are trying to get married, but in just two months, if you want to talk about the emotional foundation, she thinks that she has not established half a point at all.

In the past two months, although the two have gradually developed a tacit understanding, she is also a little used to being under the same roof with him every day, but Lin Yu is very sober and can't equate habit with like.

He's in his own place, and now he's a ...... at best Not...... A live-in roommate with whom you know each other?

Ask her to make a somewhat transgressive request to a roommate.

It's too hard.

Besides, he has only been working for a long time, will it not be good for him to do this?

But my sister opened her mouth...... She couldn't sit idly by.

When he was about to arrive at the clinic, Lin Yu looked at Lu Zhenghan who was driving with great confusion, and finally spoke: "That...... Lu Zhenghan, what my sister said on the phone just now, did you hear it? ”

"Hmm."

The man's voice is light, with three points of coldness.

Lin Yu shrunk his neck.

"I know it's a bit abrupt, if you're ...... Never mind...... I'll talk to my sister about it...... You just don't hear anything today......"

"It's just a few projects, since my sister opened this mouth, I'll look at the arrangement."

The morning sun of late winter shines through the dripping evergreen trees and sprinkles on the man's long but not curled eyelashes.

Under the cold and hard cheeks of the man's knife and axe, a shadow that Lin Yu could not fathom was brought out.

Lin Yu stared at the man's angular side face, a little stunned: "You...... Is this promised? ”

Lu Zhenghan turned his head and looked over: "Of course." ”

He knew that Lin Yuan's call for help was made by Xu Yanzhi, and it was just a few projects, which was not a big deal.

Because of the relationship between the little girl, he is happy to be an adult, and he doesn't want the little girl to be embarrassed in the middle.

Lin Yu said gratefully: "Thank you!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhenghan's deep eyes stared at Lin Yu, and suddenly asked, "What am I yours?" ”

"Huh?" Lin Yu looked at him blankly.

"A word of caution, I'm your husband, I hope you won't be so polite to me in the future."

first hesitated, and then politely thanked him, he could feel the little girl's vision of him.

It made him feel bad.

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, and a strange feeling filled his sluggish heart.

I felt that the air in the car suddenly became thinner, my heart was beating uncontrollably, and I couldn't breathe.

She swallowed her throat and opened her lips, but before she could say the words, the car slowly stopped at the entrance of the clinic.

As if being rescued, Lin Yu hurriedly got out of the car, and did not forget to turn around and say to the man in the car: "You drive slowly, that ...... I went to work. ”

Lu Zheng sent her away, his eyes caught a touch of red in her round ears, the corners of his lips suddenly hooked, started the car, and drove towards the Lu Group.

*

In the bright and spacious top-floor conference room of Lu's Group Headquarters, the floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the tense atmosphere in the conference room at the moment.

The high-level employees turned their heads one by one, not daring to look at the man with a cold face in the first place.

Zhao Qing stood aside and cleared his throat: "Quiet, if you have any objections, you can raise your hand to speak." ”

Someone raised his hand stubbornly: "Mr. Lu, didn't you veto the cooperation with Beicheng Mu at the previous meeting......

"Yes, Mr. Lu, the planning plan for the land in Nancheng has matured, and it is preparing to start construction after the year, if the Mu family inserts a bar now, we will be very passive......"

The people who spoke were all Lu's forty or fifty-year-old "old ministers".

Lu Zhenghan, who was sitting in the first place, had a calm face, and a well-tailored black suit showed his noble and cold solemnity to the fullest.

He looked around, his sharp eyes were not alarmed, and he was not angry.

Speak slowly:

"Nancheng has been dominated by our Lu family over the years, and although the Lu family's power is monstrous, it has inevitably encountered a bottleneck."

"What's wrong with cooperating with Beicheng Mu's for mutual benefit and win-win results, and opening up a variety of possibilities?"

Everyone present was silent.

He snorted softly, leaned back in his seat, and his tone was purely lazy, like a lion looking down on the world:

"What you are worried about is nothing more than the ambition of the Mu family, which will then affect the status of the Lu family, this point, as long as I, Lu Zhenghan, are in charge of the Lu family for a day, it will not happen."

Seeing that everyone was no longer talking, he raised his sharp eyebrows and stared at everyone: "Are there any objections?" ”
