Chapter 29: The Celebration Feast

At this time, I helped wipe my mother's body with warm water in the ward, and I did it carefully and carefully.

With everything in order, she went to the balcony and fumbled through her backpack for a cigarette case.

She doesn't have a craving for smoking, but when she's upset, she always wants to smoke a cigarette to suppress her impatience.

And when she was looking for a cigarette for a long time and didn't find it, the mobile phone suddenly rang again, and she could only put down her backpack and go to get the mobile phone to answer.

"Hey..."

"Sister Ruoxi, I just came back from a business trip, and I heard that something big happened in the company, are you okay?"

"Xiaoli, you're back, I'm fine, I'm in the hospital at this time."

"Oh, that's good, sister, are you angry with Mr. Xiao Lu?"

"What?" Lin Ruoxi didn't understand what it meant, so we got involved with Lu Sujin.

"Mr. Xiao Lu has already completed the project of Jinshuiwan, and I heard that the contract was signed this afternoon.

It is said that this time the new assistant Linda took the lead.

But I heard that Xiao Lu is always eccentric..."

"Linda's plan has improved a lot, and there are no problems, and it is also appropriate to involve new people in new projects, and there are no opinions."

She replied officially.

But Xiaoli, who has been by Lin Ruoxi's side for so long, how could she not notice her emotions.

"I said, it's not fair to you, and it's not right for Xiao Lu to do this, I think he's changed...

Moreover, he said that there will be a celebration banquet tonight.

Xiao Lu always said that I can't contact you, let me tell you and let you come to participate in the evening. ”

Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, and her heart felt like she had been punched hard.

Celebration banquet, and let others convey themselves, is it so difficult to face yourself?

She collected her emotions and it took a long time before she spoke.

"I have some more important things here, as far as I said, I can't go."

This time, Xiaoli didn't continue to be embarrassed.

"Okay, then sister, you can rest well, and I won't bother you."

After hanging up the phone.

Lin Ruoxi looked at the phone, raised her head and was blown by the wind, and the whole person was a lot more sober.

She anxiously grabbed the backpack next to her, rummaged through it until she found a cigarette, and eagerly took one and lit it and took a puff.

She swallowed the clouds and exhaled the fog, and there was coldness under her eyes.

After a cigarette, Lin Ruoxi also took his things and prepared to leave.

She didn't rush back to Lu's house, but took a taxi and went to Shili Street, the place where their family of three used to live happily.

Counting the time, it seems like it's been a long time.

But this Shili Street is still the same as the former Shili Street, nothing has changed, except for people.

After getting out of the car, Lin Ruoxi gave the car money, and relied on his memory to enter an alley, and when night fell, there were only some dim and unknown street lights on both sides of the road.

The path of the alley is paved with stones, and there is a small stream around it, and the stones on the road will be covered with moss.

She smelled the familiar air, walked the familiar path, and came to the door of a room before stopping.

The locked courtyard is still the same as before.

It's just that it hasn't been inhabited for a long time, and the two lanterns at the door have lost their color.

She took her handbag and rummaged through it for the key, and before she could open the gate, she heard some movement in the courtyard.

The villagers in Shili Street live in self-employed households, and Lin Ruoxi's hometown is relatively remote, and the neighbors are separated by some roads, so it stands to reason that no one should be nearby.

What's more, it's so late, and every family is not eating at home, so they should wash up and get ready for bed.

But the voice did come from the courtyard, and she suddenly became vigilant, leaned over, and listened carefully to the movement inside.
