Chapter 404 Hua Chunqiu Suspicion

Lin Siqiao didn’t think he couldn’t come, but based on her understanding of Senior Sister Hua.

If Senior Sister Hua really wanted to bring people here, she would have said it directly on the phone this morning and would not have hidden it until now.

Since Senior Sister Hua didn't mention it, it can only mean that this person came uninvited.

Looking again, the two of them looked surprisingly ugly. Could it be that they had a quarrel?

Lin Siqiao's guess was not wrong at all, they had indeed just had a fight.

In fact, Hua Chunqiu didn't know Zhou Cong was coming to the country at all. She only saw Zhou Cong when she was queuing to board the plane.

It would be a holiday, and it was none of her business where the other person wanted to go.

But Zhou Cong said to her in front of so many people at the airport with a loving face that he was worried about her coming to the country alone, so he decided to accompany her.

The passengers cheered happily when they heard this, but Hua Chunqiu's face suddenly turned ugly.

This trick might work on other girls, but she is already past the age of falling in love, and Zhou Cong's self-righteous thoughtfulness is of no use to her.

There was no surprise, let alone being moved. All I felt was a chill all over my body.

Hua Chunqiu thought she had explained herself clearly enough, but the other party kept playing dumb with her again and again. Did he really think she was made of clay?

But the plane was about to take off, and if they had an argument in the airport lobby, the airline would most likely deny them boarding for safety reasons.

Hua Chunqiu endured it again and again, and finally managed to suppress the anger in his heart temporarily.

But Zhou Cong misunderstood and thought that she tacitly approved of his concern.

So as soon as we got off the plane, he became more attentive. Not only did he offer to help with the luggage, he also talked about the itinerary for the next two days.

If an uninformed person heard this, they would definitely think that this was a newlywed couple.

At this moment, Hua Chunqiu no longer endured it. She had already given the proper respect. It was he who didn't want it, so she couldn't blame herself.

She no longer called him "Senior Brother Zhou", but called him by his full name.

"Zhou Cong, I have already said everything I should have said last time. If you don't understand, I will say it one last time."

"We were alumni before, and now we are colleagues. There is no other possibility except these two relationships in the future. Please don't do things that will cause misunderstandings in the future."

"Also, I don't like other people touching my things. Please don't be so self-righteous and touch my things at will in the future."

After saying that, Hua Chunqiu grabbed his suitcase and left without looking back.

Zhou Cong obviously didn't expect her to say it so decisively, "Junior Sister Hua, what's wrong with you? Weren't you fine just now?"

"Did I do something wrong to make you angry? Can't I tell you and I will change it? Junior Sister Hua... wait for me a moment."

Zhou Cong originally wanted to say some more soft words, but when he saw Lin Siqiao, he subconsciously closed his mouth.

Privately, he could bow his head in front of Hua Chunqiu as much as he wanted, but Lin Siqiao was an outsider after all, and he couldn't let her laugh at him.

Unexpectedly, Lin Siqiao didn't even look at him, let alone say hello.

After coming up and giving Hua Chunqiu a big hug, Lin Siqiao said.

"Senior Sister Hua, you must be exhausted. Let's go back and talk about it."

Hua Chunqiu nodded, and the two of them walked out talking and laughing, carrying their luggage.

Zhou Cong felt a little embarrassed being ignored, but when he thought about the purpose of this trip, he had no choice but to follow.

It was almost one in the morning and the airport was deserted.

Looking at the last taxi left at the taxi stand, Zhou Cong's eyes rolled, and he jogged to the parking place before Lin Siqiao and the others.

But when Zhou Cong heard the driver talk about the price, he felt a little bit painful.

Before coming to the country, he had heard that prices in the country were in a state of chaos, but Zhou Cong did not expect it to be this chaotic.

Compared with taxi fares in China, the fares here are much more expensive.

The starting fare for a taxi is 3 pounds. What's outrageous is that I heard from the driver that the price is 20% more expensive than usual during holidays and between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. every night.

Coming to the country was a spur of the moment decision made by Zhou Cong, and he didn't know how far the airport was from the city.

At this time, Lin Siqiao and the others had already approached with their luggage, so Zhou Cong could only grit his teeth and book a taxi first.

Then he opened the car door and said to Hua Chunqiu with a smile.

"Junior Sister Hua, it's getting late. Let me see you off."

"No need, you go first, we'll just wait for the next car."

Hua Chunqiu had already said so much just now, so naturally he didn't want to have anything to do with him now.

Zhou Cong, however, had a determined look on his face. "Junior Sister Hua, we are on the last flight. You two may not be able to get a car even if you wait here until late at night. You should get in first."

Hua Chunqiu didn't bother to look at him, "I said, no need."

Zhou Cong was not angry, he just changed the topic to Lin Siqiao.

"Junior Sister Hua, no matter how angry you are with me, I accept it. This is a matter between us, and we can communicate slowly."

"But your friend came all the way here to pick you up. You can't let her wait here until tomorrow morning, right?"

After hearing this, Lin Siqiao finally understood where the disgust in Senior Sister Hua's eyes came from.

She originally thought that this man named Zhou Cong had known Senior Sister Hua for such a long time, and he should have some understanding of her personality, but she didn't expect that he was so purposeful in doing things.

But today he was destined to be disappointed.

Lin Siqiao raised the car keys in his hand and said with a smile.

"Senior Sister Hua, I was so happy just now that I forgot to tell you that I actually drove here today."

After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Cong again and said, "Comrade, are you finished? If you are, please make way. If you hadn't been talking nonsense here, Senior Sister Hua and I would have left long ago."

Only then did Zhou Cong realize that there was a dark blue car parked behind the taxi.

For a moment, he froze in place.

It was the middle of the night, and Lin Siqiao didn't have time to sit here and watch him make a fool of himself. She just hoped that he wouldn't cry when he paid for the taxi fare later.

After hugging Senior Sister Hua into the car, Lin Siqiao stepped on the accelerator and left the airport.

There were not many cars on the road at this time, but Hua Chunqiu didn't say anything for fear of disturbing her driving. However, Lin Siqiao still noticed her worried look.

After they went back and had dinner, they washed up and lay down on the bed. Lin Siqiao asked her straight to the point.

"Senior Sister Hua, your visit to the country this time is not just to visit me, right?"

Hua Chunqiu did not hide it, "Yes, Siqiao, I came here this time because I do want to trouble you with something."

As she spoke, she took out a letter from her bag and said, "Si Qiao, this letter is very important to me. If you go back to China for the holidays, can you please take it back for me and pass it on to my family?"

Since Hua Chunqiu had spoken, she had no intention of leaving Lin Siqiao confused, so she told her the contents of the letter frankly.

In fact, she didn't write anything, she just asked her family to help look up a person named Du Weisheng.

If she was not a public official and her correspondence and phone calls to and from the country had not been subject to special supervision, she would not have bothered Lin Siqiao.

Speaking of the name Du Weisheng, Lin Siqiao had some impression of him. When she was in the United States before, she heard the embassy staff mention this person.

I heard that he was the previous minister of the embassy, ​​but for some reason he was demoted to the director of the political department.

Hua Chunqiu said, "He was demoted because of my father's death. Siqiao, I don't want to hide it from you. I always felt that my father's death was very strange. I came to the country for this reason."

Lin Siqiao was silent for a moment, "Do you suspect that your father's death is related to him?"

Hua Chunqiu was silent for a moment and then nodded.

This person has known her father for many years. They are not only alumni but also close friends, and their relationship has always been good.

If she hadn't met another good friend of her father when she came to the country this time, Hua Chunqiu doubted that anyone would have suspected him.
