Chapter 38: Selling Wine "Is your husband not here?"
"Are you only selling these few bottles?" The butler looked at the bottles of wine on the carpet and was a little surprised that there were not many.
Chen Lin squatted down to look at the foreign letters on it, and when he heard it, he looked up and said, "Well, there are only ten."
The proper kiss was only ten times.
The latter...doesn’t count.
Shen Lin touched his hot earlobe and thought about it carefully.
It's actually useless to have so much money...
In fact, it’s mainly because I’m afraid of arousing suspicion.
The housekeeper naturally thought it was just a game played by the children, so he took full charge of the matter and collected all the money after a week.
Unexpectedly more, even double the estimate.
On that day, he also asked Shen Lin, "Do you want to buy more gold?"
After all, it seems that this is the only hobby the child has.
Shen Lin was packing up his newly collected official grain at the time. Hearing this, his eyes lit up. He put the paper box aside and stood up to check the amount collected.
More than 900,000...
"Buy!" he said with certainty.
There were only a few days left in Shen Lin's winter vacation, and Lu Yuting had work again after the New Year. This was his second major outing.
There are two tasks: buy gold and apply for a bank card.
Money cannot be put into one basket. Shen Lin knows this very well, but he didn’t have much money before and couldn’t practice this truth. This time he has to manage his finances seriously.
The housekeeper also agreed and accompanied me to apply for a bank card.
In fact, it was because most of Shen Ningan’s original accounts were not personal, but dividends from family funds, and his expenses were also paid using credit cards.
There are almost no savings cards for very small amounts.
"Why not buy some funds? These are very basic." The housekeeper offered some advice.
Shen Lin shook his head. He felt that small funds under families like Lu and Shen were still quite unstable. Who knows if there will be any problems with the account. "No, no, Uncle Lin, I just want to save some money."
He doesn't have the ability to make money make money for the time being.
So——
I saved 10,000 yuan.
The butler thinks it's too little, so he buys all the rest with gold?
Shen Lin had his own plans. He put tens of thousands of yuan on Alipay and WeChat, which was basically the money he used to buy millet.
Scatter! Scatter!
On the way to the gold shop, Shen Lin found that his phone vibrated twice. He looked down and found that it was Youzi.
Youzi: School is about to start, so it’s time for you to pack up and go out, right?
Chen Lin thought that he was already very diligent in going out, so he typed a reply in a serious manner: I'm outside now [Penguin with arms akimbo].
But after the fight, he still thought of the knitted rose.
He frowned.
Buzz——
The message popped up quickly, and the person on the other end asked: Where are you going? I'll come find you?
Before Shen Lin figured it out, he saw the other party's message. He was just going to buy gold and didn't stay outside for long.
But just at this moment.
Youzi: Your husband is not here, right?
Shen Lin was suddenly stunned, a strange feeling came over him, and his neck turned red.
"What's wrong, Xiao Shen?" asked the housekeeper.
Shen Lin was like a guilty thief, his back was straight, and he shook his head, "It's okay, I'm chatting with my classmates."
Chu Xiu was still waiting for news. At the moment, he was tutoring his sister at home, staring at the page on his mobile phone with an expressionless face.
The girl next to me yawned and took her time to write the problem combining trigonometric functions and conic sections, with a dead look on her face.
"Won't……"
"I won't think about it anymore."
Chu Qinghe felt that this was simply too cold and heartless. He bit the tip of his pen and glanced at the person next to him.
Although her brother has a delicate appearance, he still looks oppressive when he is not talking. His eyelids are slightly drooping and the web page on his phone is not even switched.
It seems there is news from over there.
Slender fingers typing.
At the same time, Chu Xiu said without raising his head, "The third year of high school is basically a review. You will be promoted to the second year of high school when you return to school. It's okay to do the college entrance examination questions in advance now."
"I won't look for my own reasons."
Chu Qinghe: “…”
It’s just that people don’t want to go out and play with you, please.
Fishing by the Yuan River: Do you know Lu Yuting?
He asked this question, and Chu Xiu still remembered that he was determined to find him and kept saying that he was the destined person.
I instinctively dislike it.
In less than a moment——
Youzi: I don’t know him, but I know the Lu family.
Linyuaneryu: Oh, he is Lu Yuting. He is very busy and not with me.
Chu Xiu picked up the coat on the chair and said, "I'm going out for a while."
The girl at the desk narrowed her eyes, and just as she was about to turn her head, she was patted on the head and the test paper on the desk was taken away.
Chu Xiu glanced at it and said, "How come you wrote the wrong format at the end of the simplest data statistics? You will be deducted points. You missed the derivative step in question 21, so you will be deducted points too."
"Write two more of the same type. I'll come back and make you dinner. Don't run around."
His tone was always gentle and patient.
Before Chu Qinghe could say a word or two, his brother left.
? ?
Shen Lin actually felt that he was in a very awkward position. In the plot, "Shen Ning'an" had died a long time ago, and the Shen family had not successfully married the Lu family.
It seems that Lu Yuting did not take power very quickly at that time...
The knitted roses should have been given to Lu Yuting by Chu Xiu.
Shen Lin felt confused, but he realized the key problem. The plot changed... It seemed to be because he was alive.
Gold shop.
When the waiter saw the familiar face, his whole face was radiant and he walked over to him cordially, "Hello sir, welcome!"
Shen Lin carried his schoolbag as usual, and the housekeeper uncle followed him this time to prevent the house from being robbed last time.
"Hello."
The saleslady immediately seized the opportunity to introduce, "The gold bars you wanted to buy last time are now in stock, and they are more affordable than the bank. At the same time, you left in a hurry last time and did not leave your phone number, so there are still several gift boxes left."
As soon as Shen Linguang entered the door, he was handed several small gift boxes, and he was in a trance.
VIP...is it so powerful?
The housekeeper didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and just asked Shen Lin, "Do you want to wear it for fun or to preserve its value?"
In fact, it is said very arrogantly.
Shen Lin thought about it and said, "It's worth it."
He already has a set of necklaces, earrings and rings.
Cos is not useful either.
It was during this purchase that Shen Lin discovered that gold is divided into two types: by weight and by fixed price. The former is more valuable, while the latter is mainly used for decorative purposes.
The purchase went quite smoothly. The butler gave a professional assessment and then helped me complete the payment process.
About five or six kilograms.
Originally, he was going to go through the processing procedure, but Shen Lin didn't like the idea of going out again, so he went through the spot channel.
I put everything into my schoolbag and felt much better.
The housekeeper asked, "Is it heavy? How many kilograms does it weigh?"
Shen Lin shook his head, "Uncle Lin, when I was in high school, I carried ten kilograms of books on my back..."
"In the end, I only got five bucks for the scrap."
The housekeeper couldn't help laughing.
But just as he was about to leave, a female voice came from not far away.
"Brother Ning An, we meet again."
Chen Lin turned around and took a look, then took a moment to react, "Sister Siwei, hello, hello."
The other party was still bright and beautiful, but his hair color had changed to flax brown. He was wearing a red coat, with his hands in his pockets, looking at Shen Lin leisurely.
"What a coincidence, buying gold again?"
Shen Lin: “…”
I felt inexplicably embarrassed.
The housekeeper frowned slightly, but never interfered with normal social interaction.
Shen Lin nodded, “I’ve bought it.”
Looking at him like this, Chen Siwei couldn't understand how he could have stayed in the cannibalistic Lu family for so long. He must be quite capable.
"I heard that Yunxiao has been sick at home recently and rarely goes out. Do you know if he is feeling better now?"
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that he was testing her, and immediately said gently, "Oh, really? I wasn't sure, but I actually learned it from you, Sister Siwei."
"I'll go back and ask."
A smile formed at the corner of his lips.
After all, she is Shen Yunxiao's blind date and possibly his future sister-in-law. He would rather tear down a temple than ruin a marriage.
Chen Siwei's eyes curved up as expected, and she felt relieved after hearing that. She immediately took out a pendant from her bag and said, "I don't have anything good to give you, but you like gold... I bought a chain for you, you can keep it or sell it some other day."
After saying that, he threw it into Shen Lin’s arms.
Then he left happily.
Shen Lin stood there and hadn't reacted yet. He was about to go back, but the person had already walked away.
He was a little confused.
"The Chen family is a local pharmaceutical company. That is the only daughter of the Chen family. It seems that she has taken a fancy to President Shen." The housekeeper added, then frowned and said, "This meeting gift is a bit shabby."
Shen Lin: QAQ.
When he got back to the car, Shen Lin took off his schoolbag and handed it to the housekeeper.
"Uncle Lin, my classmate said he would come to see me at that coffee shop. I want to meet him."
"You can keep my gold."
The butler looked past the people not far away, his eyebrows and eyes were still gentle, "Well, go ahead."
The schoolbag is heavy with all the little gadgets.
It's just a hobby.
The moment Shen Lin opened the car door.
The housekeeper's expression returned to calm. The child's surname is Chu, and he is close to the Rong family.
During those ups and downs in the early years, wasn't it said that Xiao Shen was the one who paid for it? What was that person's intention?
Clearly, she has reunited with that boy from the Rong family...
Chu Xiu waited for a while, and when he saw someone coming, he stood up and looked at him carefully.
Shen Lin blinked, not knowing what to say, and just smiled.
"Why do you smile like this at everyone?" Chu Xiu said in a calm tone.
Shen Lin was puzzled, "Huh?"
"fine."
In fact, it was because the incident at the comic convention didn’t end well. Although it was discussed online later, there was never a face-to-face interview, and Yuzu seemed to be in a bad mood the whole time.
After all, the doll man a few days ago was such a surprise. He never expected that it was Chu Xiu inside.
Shen Lin thought about meeting him...
"I ordered it hot for you. Try it and see if it's cold."
Shen Lin's eyes moved downwards, he said "Oh", then lowered his head to drink, the milk foam at the corner of his mouth was quickly sipped away.
"Not cold, not cold." He shook his head.
Chu Xiu looked at him and asked bluntly, "Who is Chen Lin?"
Bang!
The spoon in the coffee cup fell onto the table, spilling some of the warm liquid. Shen Lin frantically searched for a tissue, "It fell..."
Chu Xiu gently raised his hand to wipe the table, then took another one from the table. Just as he was about to reach out, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he hesitated, "The one on your hand... wipe it yourself?"
Shen Lin's mind was still confused, how could he be so calm?
That's not right.
He had never told this name to anyone else, so how could the other party know it? He would just deny it.
“I don’t know who it is.” His tone pretended to be stable, Shen Lin still lowered his head to wipe his fingers, and his movements were a little slow.
Chu Xiu was not surprised by his answer. She just said, "I heard your husband call you like that. Is that your nickname?"
The tone was always calm, like a pool of stagnant water.
Chen Lin suddenly felt very strange, tilted his head, and whispered, "Are you referring to Lu Yuting?"
"otherwise?"
"Oh..." Shen Lin suddenly had a strong sense of inferiority. He didn't know why. Logically speaking, Lu Yuting should be able to show off his skills.
Uh, it's an illusion.
Chu Xiu glanced at him, and finally said calmly, "You forgot about me first. If you saw me at school, you wouldn't recognize me at all."
"Then he told me in front of me that he wanted to find me."
"Did you really lose your memory?"
Chen Lin came back to his senses, feeling a little helpless. He really didn't remember what Chu Xiu looked like, nor did he remember what Rong Mingzheng looked like. He could only occasionally trigger some memories.
But after all, it’s not just one person.
Even Chen Que...he was still only a blurry figure.
It seems to be restricted by some mechanism and cannot be triggered.
Shen Lin thought for a moment, "I, I just lost my memory..."
He looked straight over there, Chu Xiu was looking at him, Shen Lin could only lie reluctantly.
"good."
"I won't ask."
Chu Xiu seemed to think about it for a while, "Change the question, when will you get divorced?"
*
When Shen Lin returned to the car, he felt very depressed and leaned against the car window.
While the car was moving, my forehead hit with a bang.
The butler frowned, "Drive steadily."
“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay.” Shen Lin waved his hands and continued to grow hair in frustration.
The cell phone sent another message.
Yuzu: I hope you can trust me. We all have secrets and this won’t become a grudge.
Yuzu: Or, you hate me because of the dream you had.
This is referring to the "child of destiny" that Shen Lin made up at that time.
Shen Lin sat up straight at once, looking very anxious, and typed in a panic.
Linyuaneryu: No, no, how could that be! It was just a dream.
The other party replied quickly.
Yuzu: Then am I your friend?
Shen Lin stared at the screen in a daze. He couldn't go back to his original world. His heart was truly happy to make friends at that time.
It is indeed a happy thing.
Fishing by the deep: Yes.
Shen Lin touched his face, which was already very hot from nervousness. He felt very strange. Was this considered being cared about?
Friendship...seems like it never existed before.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy now that you're out?" asked the housekeeper.
Shen Lin didn't know what to say, he thought for a while, "No, my classmate apologized to me for a small matter and insisted on telling me in person."
"Forgive?"
The person in front of him was leaning against the window, holding a schoolbag in his arms. He didn't seem to understand either. Finally, he turned his head and said in confusion, "I don't really understand, Uncle Lin."
"I also had conflicts with others when I was in school. I felt very bad and sad at that time."
“But I can digest it all by myself.”
"On the contrary, if others bring up the past with me again, I will feel unable to adapt."
It was as if something that had been put aside was brought up again, but he no longer had such a strong obsession with it.
Emotions come and go quickly.
The housekeeper was vaguely worried that complete relief could actually be fatal in an intimate relationship.
This shows that this person has a very high level of emotional cleanliness.
Even if you try to recover it, it will never return to its original state.
"Eh!" Shen Lin looked out the car window past the butler in surprise and saw a large screen in a commercial building projecting a passage with red words on a white background.
——【Shen Zhongshan, return my son’s life to me. You have lost all conscience...】
Within two seconds, the advertisement returned to normal.
Shen Lin was extremely shocked, and asked the housekeeper in a daze, "Uncle Lin, did you see it?"
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at Jingshan.
Shen Lin still didn't see any news on the Internet, as if he had seen it wrong, but he didn't dare to ask Shen Yunxiao.
If it's true, wouldn't the more we say, the more mistakes we make?
He sat cross-legged on the sofa cushions and even tuned into the Rongcheng local news station in the hope of seeing some news.
Shen Lin was very afraid that he would die inexplicably at that time.
He is not a child of the Shen family at all...
The more I think about it, the more anxious I become.
Until the sound of a door opening was heard on the first floor, and someone could be heard talking.
——No money saved? What did he eat?
——The Chen family...it's okay.
Shen Lin pretended not to hear and switched the news channel to children's cartoons, where Peppa Pig was playing.
A shadow fell over them.
Lu Yuting: "Why don't you come pick me up?"
Shen Lin pretended not to see him, but he was still stunned when he heard the words, and looked up, "Huh?"
His eyes were slightly confused, and he was still holding the remote control in his hand. He looked very puzzled and bewildered.
Lu Yuting: "I've been on a business trip for a week, why didn't you come to pick me up?"
His eyes were slightly lowered and his tone was calm.
Shen Lin couldn't understand it at all, but still tried to say, "Go, go to the door?"
Do you want to take this too?
Didn’t the housekeeper talk to him?
Lu Yuting: "Yeah."
Shen Lin swallowed his saliva and stood up, but perhaps because of his bad habit of sitting cross-legged, his feet went numb and he suddenly lost his balance.
The arm was supported immediately.
Eyes met.
Shen Lin felt awkward again. Could he not go away for a while and come back for a while? He had to adjust his state every time.
"Then come over here."
Lu Yuting didn't understand what he meant at first, until he walked to the entrance in slippers, pushed the door open with a serious look, and asked him to go out.
“…”
How could anyone think that...
After Shen Lin pushed the person out, he stood at the door, inexplicably feeling a little crazy.
What am I doing?
Separated by a door, Shen Lin saw that Lu Yuting did not respond and said, "Open the door."
The other party still didn't speak.
"Lu Yuting." The voice was very short, and the tone was slightly raised at the end.
The butler glanced here and walked away without paying any attention.
Shen Lin felt that he was being teased. Didn't he insist on coming to pick her up? He opened the door, leaned out, and asked with a frown, "Can't you hear me——"
The voice paused slightly.
Lu Yuting was still standing at the door, looking down at him.
It was like the first time we met.
