"A little more."

"A little more. Yes, raise your left hand a little more... OK! Don't move. ”

Xu Mengzhou adjusted the position, fixed the Spring Festival couplets stained with solid glue on the door, and gently smoothed them with his hands.

He looked back and glanced at Lin Yushan, who was standing behind him guiding him, with a bright smile.

As early as a week ago, every corner of the city was quietly replaced with a red festive decoration with a strong New Year's flavor. It wasn't until today that Xu Mengzhou remembered that the property had given him a bag of small gifts on New Year's Day last time, including a pair of Spring Festival couplets.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and he has put this Spring Festival link up before the evening.

Today will be the first Chinese New Year's Eve that she and Xu Mengzhou spent with each other.

In the future, there will be many more such days. Lin Yushan couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips.

While holding a broom to clean up the shredded paper on the ground, she asked him with a smile: "Let's go downstairs to Costco to buy some food, what do you want to eat?" ”

Xu Mengzhou thought about it, naturally took the dustpan from her hand and followed her into the house, closing the door, "How about eating hot pot?" Handling ingredients won't be too much of a hassle. Neither of us seems to be very skilled in cooking. ”

"Good!"

Lin Yushan pulled a tissue to wipe his hands, picked up the garbage bag, and walked to the entrance to change his shoes, "It's okay, let's go." ”

Xu Mengzhou was just about to get up when the mobile phone on the coffee table suddenly vibrate. He picked up the screen and looked at it, his face turning serious.

Lin Yushan noticed the change in his expression, didn't say much, and sat silently on the shoe-changing stool and waited.

It seemed that something was wrong, Xu Mengzhou's voice sank a lot after picking up the phone, and then he went to the guest bedroom to talk.

She continued to click on WeChat and send messages to Yao Qing. A few minutes later, the man came out of the guest bedroom with his mobile phone.

Hearing the sound, she asked unhurriedly, "Is the fight over, let's go!" ”

Just about to get up from the shoe-changing bench, his knee was suddenly held down by Xu Mengzhou.

The man crouched down in front of her, his eyes mixed with mixed emotions of apprehension and expectation, "Would you like to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with my father?" ”

-----

When she got out of the car, Lin Yushan almost tripped over the steps, but fortunately, Xu Mengzhou grabbed her hand firmly in time.

"I'm here, don't be nervous." Imprinted a kiss on her forehead, the man gently clasped her fingers and led her to the elevator.

Xu Mengzhou mentioned a few days ago that he wanted to take her to see Xu's father. It's just that considering that she hasn't graduated yet, I plan to go back later.

Along the way, she inevitably recalled the scene of having dinner with Xu's father Huang Ying last year, and then parting unhappily.

Although I used to see it at festive family dinners, this time it was different. Her identity is no longer a guest under the fence, but Xu Mengzhou's girlfriend.

"Mr. Xu, Miss Lin," when he arrived at the door, the secretary standing on the porch bowed to Xu Mengzhou and said hello.

"Hmm," Xu Mengzhou patted her on the shoulder, "Let's go in." ”

Lin Yushan took a few deep breaths, tidied up the hem of his clothes, and followed Xu Mengzhou to push the door in.

What catches your eye is the gorgeous décor of a high-end restaurant. The large private room is large enough to accommodate dozens of people, but there is only a huge round table in front of you. Father Xu sat in the main seat safely, and when he saw Xu Mengzhou coming in with her, he just raised his eyelids slightly and remained silent.

In the past, there were at least five people in the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner room - Xu Mengzhou and his parents, Huang Ying, and himself. Now only the three of them remained.

The round table is like a giant table. Xu's father, as the rule-maker, controls the overall situation, and those who can't adapt to this set of rules choose to leave one after another.

And he is perverse and stubborn. A dinner for one person is inevitably bleak.

"Father." Xu Mengzhou greeted briefly and helped Lin Yushan pull out the chair.

"Happy New Year Uncle Xu," Lin Yushan smiled decently and greeted Father Xu generously. After Xu Mengzhou sat down, he would sit down again.

Father Xu didn't ignore her directly as usual, but looked sideways at her and bowed slightly.

Lin Yushan was a little surprised, she noticed that Xu's father had a lot more gray hair on his sideburns than last year.

No extra pleasantries. The waiter served round after round of food and drink.

At the Xu family's dinner table, she has always been the one who eats quietly. Lin Yushan, as usual, listened carefully to the conversation between the father and son while eating.

Xu's father still talked about his own company and Xu Mengzhou, mostly some business management issues, so that Xu Mengzhou could put forward his views. He did not resist and spoke his thoughts seriously.

It's just a few times, Lin Yushan obviously felt that Xu Mengzhou wanted to mention something about her to Xu's father, but unfortunately Xu's father found a talk and covered it up.

Seeing that the dinner was coming to an end, Xu Mengzhou felt a little anxious in his heart, and spoke again: "Dad......"

"Xu Mengzhou, you go out first." Father Xu put down his wine glass and interrupted him.

Then he looked sideways at Lin Yushan, and his voice was flat: "I have something to tell you." ”

Xu Mengzhou went to the porch outside to wait, and there were only the two of them in the huge private room now.

For the first time, Lin Yushan was alone with this shrewd businessman who had dominated the business world for many years, and her palms were slippery and she forcibly sorted out her emotions.

"Do you know that Xu Mengzhou took the initiative to give up the inheritance of the Xu family's property?" Father Xu took out a cigarette, lit it, and looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"Yes, he told me." She replied.

"What do you think of his decision?" Father Xu spat out a puff of cigarette and said slowly, "Isn't it extremely stupid?" ”

Lin Yushan clenched his fingers and muttered for a moment: "... I'm not him, and I'm not in a position to judge what his decisions are. All of his decisions are the result of his own deliberations and have nothing to do with anyone. ”

"Hehe......"

Father Xu was suddenly stunned. After a while, he chuckled with a cigarette between his fingers.

"You're quite young, but you're pretty self-aware. Unlike the previous one, he doesn't have a brain and loves to manipulate people. ”

Lin Yushan knew that the person Xu's father was talking about was Huang Ying. It's just that he is now putting himself in the same position as Huang Ying, could it be ......

"I know very well what kind of person my son is, he has long wanted to part with Xinneng Group. Therefore, regarding his renunciation of inheritance, I don't think you instigated it, and I don't think you have the ability to provoke him. ”

Father Xu lifted Erlang's legs and looked at her with interest, "Xu Mengzhou told me that he was with you, and I was surprised at first." ”

"Later, I thought, men, who doesn't love young and beautiful, understandable. Now that he's done it, I don't have anything to say. Whether you're having fun or for real, I'm not going to interfere anymore. ”

Lin Yushan raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of incredulity.

Father Xu still maintained the posture of a superior, and self-righteously judged Xu Mengzhou's feelings for her. But hearing him say that he would never interfere again, the surprise in Lin Yushan's heart still overshadowed the indignation.

Father Xu dusted his cigarette ash with his fingers, "Don't look at me like that." I don't interfere, it doesn't mean I accept you. We businessmen have always only seen things that can bring us benefits......"

He changed his words, "It's just that I'm old." ”

Father Xu's cloudy eyes were clouded, and his tone was a little deeper, "His mother is gone, and I am such a son." Blood is thicker than water, even if he is unwilling to inherit my career, I can only let him go. I don't want my son to hate me when I get too old to walk......"

"I'm old, and that's it for the rest of my life. Recently, I've been thinking that I'm so obsessed with the career I've worked so hard for is just the same as his dedication to research, but it's just a different position. ”

Father Xu shook his head and laughed at himself: "My son, still like my ......"

This relatively calm Chinese New Year's Eve dinner ended with Father Xu's departure first.

On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the reunion of thousands of families, he still has to visit an important customer of Xinneng Group non-stop.

Although her concept and Xu's father are still very different. But Lin Yushan suddenly felt that he could be regarded as consistent with his beliefs with his actions......

The car sped down the road. Xu Mengzhou held the steering wheel and swept his eyes over the rearview mirror: "Did my father tell you anything, did he embarrass you?" ”

"Don't worry, don't embarrass me."

Lin Yushan leaned against the window and rubbed his tired eyes, translated what Father Xu said in his own language, and then told him about it.

"Uncle Xu said he wanted his son to be happy."

-----

This year's Lunar New Year, in addition to being calm, is also more warm.

On the day of checking the results of the written examination, Lin Yushan handed the mouse to Xu Mengzhou and asked him to check it.

As she expected, she was honorably defeated. But she is not disappointed, and now she just wants to graduate early and start working.

Since February, Lin Yushan has lived in Huachen Mansion. With Xu Mengzhou's company, his depression has improved a lot. When I went to the hospital for a follow-up, the doctor said that I could try to stop the drug.

It's just that under the same roof, it is inevitable that the intimacy is too much, and there are a few times when I almost miss the gun. Xu Mengzhou had no choice but to make an appointment with her for three chapters, to be together during the day, and to sleep in separate rooms at night.

Lin Yushan was unforgiving, saying that he didn't like her anymore, but his heart was still stable.

Because, she has hope.

After the winter vacation, it was soon the eve of the start of school. Yao Qing returned to Jingzhou from her hometown and is about to start her internship life at MT Information.

In two days, she was going to move out of Xingyuan Community to live in the company dormitory, and Lin Yushan sat on the edge of the bed to help her collect her clothes one by one.

"Don't be sad!" Yao Qing looked innocent: "Interns only need to stay in the company for three days a week. Other times, you're always there! ”

Lin Yushan finally smiled. Although she is reluctant, she can only silently wish her all the best in her work.

When there are no classes during the day, in order to maintain the learning atmosphere, she still chooses to go to the school library to review the practice test and the argument. The results of the interview at the Xinjiang Geological Survey Institute last time had not yet come out, so she decided to try to take the test for other geological units.

Xinjiang... It's really too far.

What's more, now, she is reluctant to leave him.

After writing today's two essays, Lin Yushan put the information into his schoolbag, and a dialog box suddenly popped up on his mobile phone.

It seems to be a greeting message from a stranger.

She clicked in to see.

[You are my bosom friend, I love you more and more......]

"The plot is about to enter the final stage, thank you to the friends who have supported me all the way."
