Chapter 90: Rivals in Love
Xiao Xiao drove the car, and Lin Weilan sat in the co-pilot and leaned on the door without saying a word, letting the tears flow vigorously.
"Are you blaming me for not picking you up today?" Xiao Xiao hesitated for a long time and then chose to speak.
"Nope!"
There was another dead silence~ The traffic jam in Beijing is staged every day, not to mention that it is still raining heavily today.
"I'll send you home first, and then I'll pick up little Suda."
"No, just pick it up."
"Your clothes are all wet, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold."
"Senior!" Lin Weilan shouted in a tone of please.
"OK~"
Xiao Xiao picked up Xiao Suda first, and then sent the two home.
"Senior, you go back first. I won't leave you to eat. β
"But, what about little Suda and your dinner? You change your clothes, and I'll take you out to dinner. β
"No, there's still food in the fridge."
"Okay, see you tomorrow~"
"Well, goodbye!"
After Lin Weilan and Xiao Xiao left, Lu Xusheng returned to the office alone, restless. Not in the slightest mood to continue working, nor in the mood to think about anything. All I had in my mind was the picture of Lin Weilan following the person named Xiao Xiao to get in the car and leave.
Lu Xusheng remembered this man, the first time they met on the beach in Baicheng, and the second time was the hug he had with Lin Weilan at the airport, which he still remembers.
At this time, Lu Xusheng was annoyed by the annoying sound of rain outside the window. "Lu Xusheng, what are you struggling with? Isn't it a good thing that she has someone else by her side? Then you don't have to worry about her pestering herself anymore, but why am I so uncomfortable and stuffy! Lin Weilan~ What should I do with you? β
The heavy rain began to become dripping, Lu Xusheng looked at the time, it was already 8 o'clock, Lu Xusheng turned off the lights and left the office, wanting to use alcohol to make himself forget that face for a while.
After Xiao Xiao came out of Lin Weilan's house, he sat in the car and watched the heavy rain outside, his mood at this time was extremely depressed, and he didn't want to go back to work overtime and didn't want to go home.
"Master Zhang, in the store? I'm looking for you for a drink or two. Xiao Xiao picked up her mobile phone and sent Zhang Jingjing a WeChat message.
"Here, come on!"
Inside the Silent Night Thoughts Bar~
"Senior Xiao hasn't been here for a long time, what have you been busy with lately?" Zhang Jingjing mixed a cocktail for Xiao Xiao and put it in front of him and said.
"Lin Weilan is coming to Beijing!" Xiao Xiao took the wine and took a sip of it and said.
"What? Lao Lin is here, why didn't she look for me? β
"It's only been a long time since I arrived, and I've been busy settling in. She now works with me. β
"It's good to come to Beijing, and there will be one more person to support my business in the future."
Xiao Xiao didn't answer, and took another sip of the wine in his hand.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? So silent! Rejected by our sister Lin again? Zhang Jingjing saw Xiao Xiao's sullen appearance.
"He's back?"
"He? Who is it? β
"The one she misses!" Xiao Xiao drank the wine in the wine glass in one go, looked up at the light above his head, and said sadly.
"Lin Weilan and the others are back?" Zhang Jingjing looked at Xiao Xiao so depressed, and didn't know what to say, the current situation was embarrassing for everyone.
"Senior, Lin Weilan will never like you in her life, why do you have to embarrass yourself?" Zhang Jingjing filled Xiao Xiao with another glass.
"Hehe~ yes! Why am I so embarrassed? Xiao Xiao took a sip of wine and was sad and didn't overdo it.
"When did he come?" The moment Xiao Xiao turned his head, he suddenly saw Lu Xusheng sitting not far from him, drinking alone.
"Who?"
"The man?"
"He, half an hour earlier than you, looks like a frustrated man, and he drank several glasses silently. How do you know each other? β
"He is who he is."
"What is he who he is? Hey, don't go! Zhang Jingjing watched Xiao Xiao walk over to the table where Lu Xusheng was sitting with a wine glass.
"Your uncle's ~ won't be a rival in love! Don't smash my field~" Zhang Jingjing felt that his entire back was covered with cold sweat.
"Xiao Chen, go and prepare a super luxurious fruit platter! Hurry~" Zhang Jingjing hurriedly said to Xiao Chen on the side.
At this time~
"I don't mind sharing a table~ It's too boring to drink alone!" Xiao Xiao took the wine glass and sat on the chair opposite Lu Xusheng.
"Don't mind!" Lu Xusheng took a sip of wine, slowly put down the wine glass, and spoke.
"Lu Xusheng? Lin Weilan's ex-boyfriend! Xiao Xiao said with some sarcasm.
Lu Xusheng ignored Xiao Xiao, and just continued to drink the wine in his hand.
"You know what? All the years you have been gone, I have been by her side, and she is still working in my company. Xiao Xiao saw that Lu Xusheng did not react and continued.
Lu Xusheng is still sitting as steadily as Mount Tai. It's just that the expression on his face has become more and more solemn,
"I'm pursuing her, and I'm going to succeed soon!" Xiao Xiao looked at Lu Xusheng's expression while thinking about how to say something that angered the other party.
"Senior Xiao Xiao, you don't need to be so naΓ―ve, you want to use the radical method to trick me!" Lu Xusheng put down the wine glass, raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Xiao Xiao and said.
"Haha! I didn't expect Lin Xuemei's ex-boyfriend to be so calm! β
"She won't have a relationship with you, and if she's interested in you, you won't come here and drink alone!" Lu Xusheng found the other party as early as when Xiao Xiao entered the door.
"Then you know what it means to be in love over time, her current office is only separated from my office by a wall."
"So what! People she doesn't like won't like after all."
"You know, you're in the past tense. The problems that Lin Weilan has encountered over the years have all come to me for help, do you know how difficult it has been for her over the years? She came to Beijing alone, but luckily there was me. Do you think that if there is no more possibility between you, will she choose a strange man to start from scratch, or will she choose a man like me who takes care of her? Xiao Xiao told the truth provocatively.
"Hmm~" Lu Xusheng was really a little panicked when Xiao Xiao said this. It's not that I'm worried that Lin Weilan will fall in love with someone other than herself, but that girl is a kind-hearted person, if her brain is hot, she really promised Xiao Xiao in order to repay her kindness.
"What's wrong? Is Director Lu panicking now? Xiao Xiao said mockingly.
Lu Xusheng didn't reply to Xiao Xiao's words, just turned the wine glass in his hand, looked at the slightly yellowed whiskey in the wine glass, and thought about what he should do next.
"Come on, come on, the two of you won the first prize by our Silent Night Thoughts Bar tonight, and we will give you a super luxurious fruit platter." Zhang Jingjing held a fruit platter at least half a meter high and put it in front of the two, just covering their faces completely.
"Master Zhang, what are you doing?" Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes at Zhang Jingjing.
"I'm afraid you'll fight!" Zhang Jingjing leaned into Xiao Xiao's ear and whispered.
"Thank you, keep it for him. Checkout Boss! Lu Xusheng got up and said.
"Hey, you can't go, I haven't finished talking yet!" Xiao Xiao hurriedly got up and prepared to call Lu Xusheng back.
"Xiao Xiao, don't go too far, be careful that I call Lin Weilan, isn't it more fun for the three of you to confront each other?" Zhang Jingjing held Xiao Xiao down and punched him in the stomach.
"Sir, please settle the bill." Zhang Jingjing walked in front of Lu Xusheng and said.
"Does the boss know Lin Weilan?" Lu Xusheng asked Zhang Jingjing when he was paying.
"Acquaintance, we have a dormitory at the university.
"She's in college~"
"She's single in college and has never been in a relationship! Don't worry~" Zhang Jingjing said before Lu Xusheng finished asking.
"Thank you~ take care of him," Lu Xusheng pointed to Xiao Xiao behind him.
Lu Xusheng put down the money and left.
"What did he just tell you?" Xiao Xiao asked after seeing Lu Xusheng leave.
"Didn't say anything? Just let me take care of you! I didn't expect you, a rival in love, to care about you! How's that, didn't drink too much! β
"What do you mean to care about me? He was afraid that I would drink too much and go to Lin Weilan, reassuring that I was not drunk. Xiao Xiao was a little impressed by this deer life, this person was deep in thought, and it was impossible to see through.
Lin Weilan took a hot shower and changed her clothes. There was no time to be sad at all, and cooked noodles for little Suda. I ate two bites and ran to sort out the content of today's interview. These things will be sorted out and published this week.
Lin Weilan flipped through the relevant content recorded in the notebook, although the rain wet a lot of words, fortunately, there was a voice recorder to record the content of the interview between the two.
Lin Weilan listened to the voice of Lu Xusheng in the voice recorder with headphones, and filled in the missing places on the computer.
Lin Weilan listened and found that the recorder had recorded all the conversations between the two in the office.
"He kissed me today? Why? If Xiao Sheng really still hates me, why does he say that he is also tortured, why does he kiss me like that? What did Xiao Sheng think in his heart! However, in the end, he asked the senior to send me back. Lin Weilan suddenly realized how contradictory Lu Xusheng's actions today were.
"Lin Weilan, you should die. He made it very clear, and finally let me go! We shouldn't meet again, hatred is hard to dissolve. Lin Weilan shook her head and wanted to be sober, this meeting made Lin Weilan understand that he still hated himself as before.
Lin Weilan turned on the camera, connected the data cable, and prepared to upload today's photos to the computer.
"Huh? What's going on, why can't it be turned on? It's over, it won't get into the water. This is the camera that Hanhan gave me, what should I do! I don't know if it can be fixed. Lin Weilan looked at the unresponsive camera, and her heart collapsed again.
"Tomorrow, I have to sort out the article for Meng Xichen, and then I have to give him a look before it can be published, what if there are no photos." Lin Weilan was anxious.
Day 2
Lin Weilan took the camera and went to Canon's after-sales service to find someone to repair it, but the other party said that the parts would be transferred, and it would take at least 1 month to repair. Lin Weilan was helpless, thinking that she could only find someone to borrow a camera and go to Lu Xusheng to reshoot.
Fortunately, the Star News still has the most basic equipment such as a camera.
"Meng Xichen, you did it on purpose yesterday, right, you already knew that it was him, and you deliberately found an excuse to leave me there alone." The first thing Lin Weilan did when she went to work was to settle accounts with Meng Xichen.
"Hehe~ Lin Weilan, calm down, do you think that if I told you early in the morning that the other party was Lu Xusheng, would you go?"
"Won't go!"
"That's right! You're definitely not going. β
"Then I can't be there by myself!"
"I'm giving you a chance to solve the problem! How's that, isn't it a joy to see you again after many years! Meng Xichen asked with a hippie smile.
