Chapter 82 Blind Date "If your brother can't do it, you can do it too."...
Shen Lin was stunned after hearing this, and stopped snapping his fingers.
Yes, it’s different.
The plot in the book is that Lu Yuting seemed to be forced to take over the family business, and the overseas companies were basically no longer in operation.
But this time…
He remembered the news he saw abroad.
"You changed your shell?"
Shen Lin turned his head very gently, but the tip of his nose still gently rubbed the person's cheek, and he stepped back.
His waist and abdomen were touched, and he actually felt a little uncomfortable.
But I didn’t dare to earn much.
Touching it twice won't cause any flesh to fall off.
"The Lu family is bankrupt...will you still follow me?"
Shen Lin hesitated for a moment. He was thinking about the information revealed by these words. It was true that Lu Yuting would be offline.
But dead?
It seems like crazy.
The young man frowned. In the past, the Lu family's businesses were only represented by their surnames in novels, and there didn't seem to be any specific mention of what they did.
It just mentioned that it is not a local industry.
Bankrupt...
Real bankruptcy, fake bankruptcy.
Until the waist was tightened.
Chen Lin let out a breath, lowered his head and pried the man's fingers apart, "It's too tight."
"Not following anymore?"
"What do you mean by follow or not follow?"
I immediately forgot the second half of the sentence.
Shen Lin was really concerned about the direction of the final outcome, so much so that his face was very confused and he didn't speak to anyone when he saw them.
And kissed again.
Lu Yuting turned his face away.
"?"
Chen Lin frowned, and his temper flared up, wanting to kiss her or not.
He sat upright on his lap, without saying a word, and said if he had the nerve to do so, he could put me down.
Hug for a long time.
Lu Yuting's little finger trembled uncontrollably. Does he love him or not?
Or whatever.
Only kissing is allowed, no touching is allowed.
No mention of marriage.
Shen Lin was still thinking, if he followed the rules from the beginning, he would get married, return to the country, and reconcile.
The picture keeps breaking and rebuilding.
Marriage...
Lu Yuting returned home early and took over the company.
Chu Xiu and Rong Mingzheng seem to be together all the time.
That's true.
Shen Lin felt vaguely that he had finally seen the situation clearly, as if he had risen from the perspective of a chess piece to that of a spectator.
He brainstormed to think about what Rong Mingzheng really wanted.
As a result, the person was really let go.
The sofa is soft and doesn't hurt people's legs.
My thoughts were suddenly interrupted.
"Where are you going?" the boy asked gloomily.
"Go back to Linjing Mountain."
Shen Lin sat on the sofa, holding his hands, a little confused, "Do you want to take me away?"
Gave a step.
Trying to kick someone underfoot.
"Need not."
The steps were kicked open.
The little animation in Shen Lin’s mind came alive, and he frowned, “Okay, then go.”
No one can live without anyone else.
But it seemed to be some kind of illusion. Lu Yuting seemed to stand there for a while, then rubbed his eyebrows, looking uncomfortable.
"Um."
"Um."
He responded twice, but Shen Lin only said one sentence.
"There's food in the kitchen, remember to eat."
The person left.
Shen Lin sat on the sofa suspiciously for a long time, then went to see in his cotton slippers, and there was really food.
Just then, the cell phone rang.
It belongs to Lin Yanqing.
He leaned on the table to answer it, but stood on tiptoe to look out the window. It seemed that a driver came to pick him up and he really left.
The boy frowned.
I can’t figure it out. What’s going on?
"Your brother is alive and well."
Lin Yanqing was indeed in the hospital at the moment. She checked on the person who was still in a coma. The fainting caused by long-term ischemia still required some time of recuperation.
Shen Lin breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good.”
"But I want to ask you something."
"What?"
"Are you familiar with Chu Xiu's background?"
*
This is usually the setting in melodramatic novels.
A beautiful, strong and miserable character is always more rich in personality than a simple, pitiful one.
Of course, a person as good-looking as Chu Xiu has to come with a poor family background and a little burden.
In this way, it can be established immediately.
Chen Lin was actually a little depressed. There were many poor people in the world, and many of them were fatherless and motherless.
But not all of them are protagonists, most of them are NPCs.
"I only know that he has a sister and they have a very good relationship."
"Did Chu Xiu contact you again?"
Shen Lin frowned when he thought of this, he seemed to remember receiving the message.
I looked down and sure enough, there it was.
It was to ask if he had come back.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about him?" Shen Lin actually felt that Chu Xiu hadn't done anything wrong except lying to him at that time.
He is a good man.
No wonder he's the protagonist.
"Hmm..." The stepmother slightly lowered her voice, and the sound of nail polish knocking on the table came from the receiver of the phone, "His sister seems to be under control. I'm wondering if I should disrupt the situation?"
Shen Lin frowned.
Linjingshan was deserted. The housekeeper just looked at the rooms on the third floor and sighed.
It was around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Doctor Chen arrived and bandaged the broken wrist, which was almost horrifying.
Lu Yuting said almost nonchalantly, "It's troublesome."
He seemed to be much clearer. After seeing the doctor off, he stood up and prepared to go upstairs.
"Isn't Xiao Shen coming back?"
Lu Yuting paused, his eyes dark, "He doesn't want to go back."
But just as he was about to leave, the man frowned and looked over, "The Huai'an Temple matter was handled by Assistant Chen back then. When will he come back?"
"The time is almost up."
The housekeeper had a calm expression. He was originally thinking about other things, but he came back to his senses after hearing this. "I'll urge him."
The young man walked forward again, but his back seemed a little lonely.
The villa is not lively.
But this place is indeed called "home".
The day after Lu Yuting was born, his parents went abroad. When he was four or five years old, his beloved dog died. When he was five or six years old, his grandfather died. When he was seven or eight years old, his mother died.
Over the next decade or so, his father had very little contact with him, and they mostly argued.
At the age of 27, his partner passed away.
No divorce.
Considered a widow.
He may not want to come back.
The housekeeper made a phone call and asked the chef to come over. The chef was very happy and drove over immediately.
He has been getting paid for nothing for a long time.
The chef looked around the first floor but didn't see the child either, and felt confused.
"I'm living outside. I'm not at home."
"So what should I cook?"
Butler: "...Master is also a human being."
Fell into a strange silence.
In fact, before getting married, Lu Yuting didn't come back to this place often, as a lot of things happened in Linjingshan.
Until the young man came over breathlessly with a suitcase, and asked confusedly if he could have some water, saying that he was very thirsty.
The housekeeper finally had the opportunity to buy clothes, food, and decorations for the house.
A chef can also cook delicious food in different ways. Getting paid for nothing is good, but cooking is his lifelong pursuit.
What's more, the person who eats the meal is very good at complimenting others, and he can stay in the kitchen all day to study the food.
"Oh, then I'll cook a few dishes."
It took about thirty minutes to make.
The housekeeper brought the incubator and thought for a moment, "Is there still time to bake a small cake? I'll go and deliver it."
"You're going to deliver food?!"
"The chestnuts are sent from outside, they are very fresh, you can mash them and make it taste the same."
Been busy for a long time.
The housekeeper selected several dishes, including sweet and sour spareribs, crystal buns, sesame crispy meat, stir-fried broccoli, corn and pumpkin porridge...
Take out a small cake.
——How much to leave?
——That’s good enough. I’ll take these.
In fact, there is not much left.
Lu Yuting held the railing with one hand, lowered his eyes and looked at everything happening downstairs, and the blood flow seemed to slow down slowly.
When the butler was picking up his things and preparing to leave, he saw someone.
“…”
"Please go slowly on your way."
Turned around and left.
——Do you want to keep a few dishes? Is it too much to take away?
The housekeeper frowned: "No, it saves running back and forth, bring more."
The chef seemed to understand.
*
A few hours ago.
Shen Lin was actually outside. He originally wanted to go out to visit Shen Yunxiao, but he met an unexpected person halfway.
The driver had no choice but to call them, "Yes, Miss Cheng..."
Anyway, I said a lot.
Chen Lin actually just wanted to buy a small cake, thinking of using it to please someone, but he was scammed.
Cheng Siwei, it turned out that Shen Yunxiao’s marriage partner, there wasn’t even any official news about it, it was just blown away anyway.
His family is probably in the pharmaceutical business, and he is having an affair with Rong Sheng.
"If you don't get off, I won't leave. If you dare, ask the driver to run over me."
Although the tone was rude, the person on the other end was actually speaking quite quietly. She felt it was very rude to speak loudly on the street.
So he just threatened quietly.
“I’m not Shen Ning’an, you’ve got the wrong person.” Shen Lin replied gently.
But at this moment, the driver handed over the phone, "Mr. Lin wants to talk to you."
"Eh, I know her. No, no, I've already told her that Shen Yunxiao is not okay. Shen Yunxiao is gay. But she still refuses to change her mind."
"But I guess it's because her family is under great pressure and she needs to find a way to vent."
"If you can't get rid of it, call the police."
Shen Lin frowned, "That's not good for girls, right?"
Lin Yanqing supported herself with her arms and thought for a while, "It really doesn't seem right to go to the police station, but you try and see if she leaves."
The boy on the phone seemed to do as he was told, but then he heard the sound of a girl crying.
Shen Lin was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. "I, I won't call the police. What do you want from me?"
"Can we talk?"
cafes--
The bodyguard that comes with Lin Yanqing is actually a bit awkward.
"Is your brother really gay?"
Shen Lin: “I don’t know.”
"How did you fake your death?"
"What are you talking about? I don't quite understand."
“…”
Shen Lin sat very straight and kept smiling.
Cheng Siwei frowned, touched the recorder in his pocket, and felt that he couldn't get anything useful out of the question.
"I really can't marry into your family?"
Shen Lin: "It depends on what the elders say. I can't decide."
“My family is going bankrupt…”
Shen Lin seemed to have some spiritual cells aroused, and frowned. Why are they going bankrupt?
Have you paid all the national taxes? Will you go bankrupt?
But Cheng Siwei thought he could play the emotional card, and said eagerly, "If your brother can't do it, you can do it too."
"I also gave you a gold pendant."
Shen Lin looked pale, "No, no?"
"An An used to be a lesbian, but you are not. Why can't you be with me?"
This is actually a very obvious set-up.
At the beginning, he mentioned that he would give a gold pendant as a gift, and then he mentioned his identity.
Shen Lin realized it and said sincerely: "I don't like you. This has nothing to do with sexual orientation."
The boy was like a solid rock and could not be pried open no matter how hard you tried.
Cheng Siwei's defense was broken, "Then give me back the gold pendant!"
"The Lu family bought you a gold shop. Now that you are so rich, give it back to me!"
Shen Lin was stunned. He had indeed not asked about this matter yet, but he did not dare to admit it rashly.
Because it is not certain whether it is Shen Ningan’s identity or Shen Lin’s identity.
"I don't know about this, but it's troublesome for me to go back and get it. Can I buy a heavier one and return it to you?"
Shen Lin thought this was much more appropriate, so he took people to the nearest gold shop.
But something went wrong.
——You, the Shen family, have caused me to remain unmarried, and you’re giving me one in return?
——At least you have to get the three golds together for me, you can't be so sincere, right?
Shen Lin vaguely felt that something was wrong, but since everyone was here, he could only buy them all.
Cheng Siwei seemed very satisfied and raised his hand to hug him.
"Thank you, brother."
"I won't bother you anymore."
Shen Lin's uneasiness continued until the evening, and he told Lin Yanqing what happened today at home.
The person on the other side said bluntly, "What a trick! I guess they asked someone to take a picture of you. The news is that you and her are in love and are preparing to get engaged."
Shen Lin’s face turned pale with fright.
"It's okay. Don't worry if this news can't be published."
Shen Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm sorry to trouble you..."
Lin Yanqing disagreed, "It was originally Shen Yunxiao's fault. He caused you trouble. You need to sort out the relationship."
"Have you had dinner yet?"
The boy replied in a muffled voice, "Not yet."
"However, Chu Xiu hasn't replied to me yet. I'm afraid it will be a little later..."
He added another sentence on the phone.
Lin Yanqing thought for a moment and said, "Then let me order you a meal? I'm broke today, hahaha."
“——Ding Dong.”
There was a whisper on the phone, "I'll go open the door..."
Lin Yanqing narrowed her eyes and said, "Okay, I'll hang up on you then."
The woman leaned back relaxedly, rocked the swivel chair, her slender nails with sparkling diamonds, and the corners of her lips raised.
I guess she's no longer needed.
Lin Yanqing thought about it, went to choose food for herself, and chose a supreme light salad.
But he stared at the payment page and fell silent again.
Is she a person with a miserable life? Why does she eat this kind of thing?
So I changed to the supreme version of pancake with two eggs.
…
Shen Lin went to the door and opened it. His eyes were bright. He smiled when he saw the housekeeper uncle, then leaned over to look out.
Where are the people?
Shen Lin didn't expect that he really didn't come, and his mood was uncertain.
The butler gave a brief explanation, and the young man stood aside and hummed, smiling at him, "If he doesn't come, then he won't come. I'd be happier if you came."
The beads on her wrist lit up slightly.
"What's delicious?"
Shen Lin ran to the kitchen to get chopsticks and bowls, then hurriedly pulled open the table for people and obediently brought paper towels before the meal.
"Eat, eat."
The butler had actually already eaten, as it was not his meal time, but he still took the chopsticks.
He just picked up some food and put it in Shen Lin’s small bowl.
"When will you be back?"
"It's so small here, aren't you scared to live here by yourself?"
"How can we eat without an aunt?"
In front of the housekeeper uncle, Shen Lin was actually the idiot who came with the suitcase at that time. He couldn't hide anything.
I felt aggrieved for a moment.
"I want to go back, but the Rong family's problems haven't been solved yet. My stepmother's family also has problems. I can't just be a salted fish... What if they need me?"
"Actually, I was a little scared because there was no one around at night."
"I'm here for dinner. There's actually takeout here..."
Said a lot.
I ate a lot too.
The housekeeper frowned when he saw the man's thin appearance, but remembered that he had been told that the child should not eat too much at once.
He collected the dishes and chopsticks and patted Shen Lin on the head.
"You are just a child, and you don't hold any position. Why should you be responsible for so much?"
Shen Lin's eyes were filled with tears.
"Are you going back?"
The housekeeper smiled gently, "Yes, I put the food in the refrigerator for you. If you are still hungry at nine o'clock, you can eat it. After twelve o'clock, don't eat it and just throw it away tomorrow."
Take-out is necessarily unhealthy.
Shen Lin nodded and helped to clean up.
However, just as the housekeeper was about to leave, he looked down at his mobile phone. He originally wanted to check the time, but ended up seeing a strange news push.
The boy was still unaware and just walked to the door to see him off.
His chin pointed and he looked curious, "What's wrong?"
The housekeeper frowned and said, "It's okay, go to bed early."
I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding.
After Shen Lin sent the person downstairs, he came up again. He went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and took a look.
And a small cake.
Strawberry.
Shen Lin stared at it with resentment for a while, ate the strawberries embedded on it, and then went to the bedroom.
It was around eight o'clock when I finished taking a shower.
He unfolded the bean blanket, made his bed, and then thought of something and took out his schoolbag from the closet.
Red leather diary.
manuscript.
Gold necklace, gold earrings, gold ring.
The young man sat cross-legged and stared at those things, thinking, these things are called "three golds"? Do you need these things to get married?
But he just went to get a certificate.
Shen Lin took it out curiously and hung it on his hair like a child playing house. It was a little slippery, so he could only tilt his head back, just in time to see the chandelier.
chandelier……
Shaking and swaying.
As scattered memories came to him, the boy turned red all over in an instant and put away his gold.
“Huff…”
He covered his face, quickly turned off the desk lamp, wrapped himself in a blanket and pretended to be dead.
A person can also be embarrassed.
But perhaps because he was too tired, Shen Lin fell asleep after a while.
The phone vibrated twice and the screen flashed.
Stepmother: I was so absorbed in eating a pancake that I forgot to give instructions in time. I think your blind date news has spread a little bit...
Stepmother: Please explain it to your husband.
Stepmother: Poke it.
Stepmother: It should be okay... [sweating]
The screen bounces back and forth.
But the person on the bed just felt hot and turned over. His sweaty neck seemed to breathe more clearly in the moonlight.
Breathing with mouth slightly open.
Seems like a dream.
midnight.
The door opened.
