But Lin Luo thought about it and felt that something was wrong. This salesperson could hear her say "You can't go home until you spend one million", so she must have been eavesdropping for a long time. She listened
for a long time, knowing that her customer was in trouble, but she just watched the fun, and when the trouble was almost over, she rushed over to suck her blood.
Haha, how can she still be like this?
It was obvious that she was bought by Chu Ling.
She could spend the one million to gain face in front of Chu Ling, but she would not let this kind of salesperson make money from her for no reason.
So she frowned and looked around the store: "I have always thought your clothes are pretty good, but I don't know why, I was suddenly disappointed just now, maybe because a men's store inexplicably broke into the fitting room of a women's clothing store, which made me suddenly feel that your store is only at the level of Uniqlo. However, Uniqlo has a higher price-performance ratio. I suddenly don't know why I bought clothes from you? What do you think, salesgirl?"
After saying that, she glanced at her sideways, and the salesgirl's face suddenly turned very ugly.
Lin Luo said "Oh" again, and suddenly remembered something: "Don't you always give customers a feedback form? Why didn't you bring it today?"
The shopping guide gritted her teeth and bowed deeply: "Miss, I'm sorry, I thought this gentleman was your boyfriend, so I wanted to avoid him."
Lin Luo smiled and helped her up: "It's okay, it's okay, Seeing how scared you are, I was just joking. But since you avoided it, you probably didn't hear or see anything, right? If you don't know anything, you are still an excellent shopping guide. If I hear something spread outside, then Miss, I may have to exercise my consumer rights, do you understand?"
The shopping guide understood that Lin Luo was threatening her not to reveal a word of what he overheard today, so she bowed deeply and said, "Ms. Lin, please rest assured, I really didn't hear or see anything."
"Well, that's good." Lin Luo nodded with satisfaction, "However, I probably won't spend this one million in your store. If you have any performance to complete, you can find Mr. Chu next to me. He especially likes to help others pay the bill, right, Mr. Chu?"
After saying that, he walked out of the store with his bag and high heels. Chu Ling took the skirt from the salesperson and hurriedly followed.
"Luoluo, after so many years, why are you still in this temper? Now that no one is protecting you, you should be more restrained." Chu Ling said kindly.
Lin Luo smiled: "Mr. Chu, if it weren't for your harassment, I wouldn't have been in a bad mood today, so you should restrain yourself."
Chu Ling patiently explained: "Luoluo, I really just happened to meet you today. I didn't intend to harass you."
Lin Luo turned and walked into a men's watch store, lowered her head and chose carefully, tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing her sarcastic profile: "Chu Ling, I'm not stupid. Who would happen to meet someone so coincidentally that they could bribe the clerk?"
Chu Ling was silent.
Lin Luo sighed: "Chu Ling, I did make some stupid mistakes when I was a teenager, but I have been able to handle the past year or so since the incident at my home. This proves that I am no longer the little girl you played around with. Do you understand?"
"Luoluo, it's my fault. Let's find a place to sit down and have a good chat." Chu Ling's patience is really amazing.
Lin Luo did not answer him, but pointed to the two watches on the counter and asked: "Chu Ling, which of these two watches do you think is better looking?"
"The one on the left."
"Okay, Miss, please help me wrap up the one on the right, thank you."
Chu Ling: "..."
He felt that Lin Luo was challenging his patience, but it didn't matter. This time he had no bottom line.
Lin Luo chose an open-style coffee shop on the central terrace of the shopping mall. The seats were separated by flower stands. There were not many people, so normal communication would not be overheard. But if Chu Ling really wanted to do something, she would make a little noise and people around would notice it.
It was very safe.
Chu Ling also guessed her thoughts and agreed to her. Anyway, he didn't plan to do anything to her for a while, so it was best to lower her guard step by step.
After the two sat down, Chu Ling ordered according to their previous habit: "One iced Americano, no milk, no sugar, and one cappuccino, full of sugar, thank you."
Lin Luo interrupted him: "Change the cappuccino to pure milk, thank you."
After the waiter left, Chu Ling smiled: "Why is the taste getting more and more childish?"
Lin Luo fiddled with her mobile phone, sending her situation and location to Ji Chi'an, who had not replied to her message yet, and replied nonchalantly: "Oh, I'm preparing for pregnancy, so I can't drink □□."
Chu Ling felt like something was stuck in his throat, frowning and saying, "Luoluo, stop it, you haven't even gotten married yet, why are you preparing for pregnancy?"
Lin Luo lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, then said lazily, "Can't you get married if you're preparing for pregnancy? Getting married with a baby is so common, didn't Mr. Chu almost get married with a baby?"
Chu Ling sighed in his heart, as expected, what was supposed to happen finally happened. He put his tone into the most humble and gentle tone and said, "Luoluo, the lord's daughter wasn't pregnant at the time. I only found out she lied to me after you left England."
"Heh." Lin Luo turned on the recording on his phone, then turned the phone upside down next to his seat. "You said Charlotte lied to you that she was pregnant. Then let me ask you, why could she have lied to you? If you hadn't slept with each other, how could she have lied to you? Or are you 19 years old and still naively believe that humans reproduce by mitosis?"
Chu Ling lowered his eyelids. He was born gentle and kind, which made people feel friendly. With this eyelid lowering, he seemed even more gentle and fragile. The waiter who came to serve coffee and didn't hear the content of the conversation just thought that this lady was bullying the gentleman. He was probably another henpecked man.
After the waiter left, Chu Ling took a sip of very bitter American coffee and smiled bitterly: "Luoluo, you know, I drank too much on the day of the graduation party, and Charlotte has always been interested in me."
"So Mr. Chu means that it's all your damn charm?" Lin Luo took a sip of pure milk and smiled, "But Charlotte is from a legitimate British upper-class aristocratic family. It's a blessing for you that she is interested in you. It's a pity that you didn't really get pregnant with a child. Otherwise, once you entered the aristocratic circle, you wouldn't have to rush back to compete with your brother for this small Chu Group."
"Luoluo, I only had you in my heart at that time. I never thought about marrying the daughter of a nobleman to enter the top society."
"You only had me in your mind at that time? Then why did you ignore me after the graduation party? I went to your house to ask for clarification, and I happened to run into Charlotte's father and your mother discussing engagement. Yes, I pushed Charlotte, and then it was so serious that they wanted to sue me for intentional injury? Charlotte's father even used his connections to deport me from the country, and your mother even forced me to kneel down and apologize, otherwise she would withdraw the project that was in my family. 's investment and pushed my family into a desperate situation. I said a few words to you and swore a few malicious words, and your mother slapped me in the face."
Lin Luo finished speaking in one breath, and the memory of her original body came to her vividly. She actually felt a little sour in her eyes. In fact, her original body at that time was just a little spoiled, but she was not scheming, not bad, and she would not even bully others. Later, she wanted to marry a powerful person, which might be influenced by this humiliating experience.
She took another sip of milk, trying to suppress her sadness with sweetness, and smiled as if nothing had happened: "When all this happened, you were at home, Chu Ling. Don't lie to me that you were not there so you didn't know. I saw your shoes on the second floor. I gave you that pair of shoes."
Chu Ling couldn't refute a word she said. His eyes were full of regret and pity. He choked up and said, "Luoluo, I'm sorry, I was useless at that time. But you also know my mother. She has always been insecure and has always hoped that I can win over my brother. , she threatened to commit suicide whenever I didn't do things my way. I was young at the time, I couldn't do anything and could only listen to her, but now it's different, I can make my own decisions about everything."
Chu Ling's mother, to put it nicely, is a stepmother, to put it bluntly, she didn't have much ability, she was bent on climbing up the social ladder and used all her tricks to become the legal wife, while Chu's father's original wife was a real strong woman, she left the Chu family to start her own business, but left behind an eldest son who is very capable and excellent in all aspects, and now his status in the Chu Group is second only to Chu's father.
People outside said that the Chu Group would eventually be inherited by the eldest son Chu Xiao, but Chu Ling's mother was not happy about it. She wanted to arrange a marriage for Chu Ling, to help him get close to someone, and to compete for the right of inheritance. Therefore, the Lin family, which was slightly lower than the Chu family, was a little dissatisfied. So in order to please the Lord and drive Lin Luo away, she spent a lot of time and effort.
But in the end, after Lin Luo's disturbance, Charlotte also discovered the fact that Chu Ling was a scumbag, and finally it was all in vain.
But no one knows what happened inside the Chu family. In the past two years, Chu's father was seriously ill, and Chu Xiao's power has been suppressed. Chu Ling, on the other hand, has been promoted step by step and has the potential to monopolize power. This time he returned to the country for the final battle, and the first thing Chu Ling did when he returned was to find Lin Luo and tell her that this time he was able to protect her.
After listening to his explanation, Lin Luo leaned back and brushed his hair: "Chu Ling, the past is the past, there is no need to mention it again. I am telling you so much now, just want to know, did my father die in a car accident? And even if my mother was not doing well in business, how could she owe so much high-interest loans? If you are willing to tell me what you know, then our previous grievances can be written off."
Chu Ling straightened his expression and lowered his voice: "Do you still remember the piece of land your father bought back then?"
"Remember."
The piece of land was located in a good area in the capital, almost the last vacant land in that area. The price was so high that after the Lin family purchased it in full, they could no longer afford the later construction. At that time, the Lin family and the Chu family had a good relationship, so the Chu family injected capital in and solved the urgent need of the Lin family. The reason why Lin's father was obsessed with that piece of land was because he promised Lin Luo when she was a child that he would build an amusement park for her at the doorstep of his home.
"The price of that piece of land doubled within a year after it was auctioned. It is basically certain that the appreciation potential of this piece of land is unlimited. Although the Chu family was a shareholder at the time, they only invested in the construction of the amusement park and did not own the land use rights. Therefore, no matter how fat the piece of meat was, it had nothing to do with the Chu family. However, after your father's accident, the land has tripled the Chu family's wealth now."
Chu Ling paused and continued, "The person in charge of the project at the time was Chu Xiao. Later, my people found out that your father's The car accident was caused by someone tampering with the brakes and tires, and the high-interest loan lent to your mother went through seven overseas accounts. I finally found out that the source of the funds was a man named Lee, and this Lee was Chu Xiao’s college classmate.”
Lin Luo’s expression did not change from beginning to end, as if she was just listening to someone else’s story. After Chu Ling finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows: “That’s all?”
Chu Ling originally thought that she would cry and make a fuss, and would be shocked and lose her composure, but she was unexpectedly so calm. For a moment, he did not know how to respond, so he just nodded.
“+30”
Lin Luo smiled. Did this mean the mission was successful?
This means that Chu Ling could only tell her so much, and that words are not enough. Chu Ling's words were directed at his brother, and even a fool could understand what he meant. Regardless of whether Chu Xiao was the real murderer behind this, she was sure that Chu Ling was using her as a gun.
Did he really think she was stupid and easy to deceive? Then she was really stupid and easy to deceive.
She spoke again: "Okay, I know. I will find a way to prove this, and I will do as I said before, and write off all the grudges between you and me. If possible, I may need your help. And thank you, Chu Ling."
This was the first time that Lin Luo said something soft in the past two days, and Chu Ling suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Lin Luo was a person with a hard face but a soft heart. As long as he coaxed her well, she would always forgive him.
He really liked her. The first girl he had ever liked was lost by himself. That obsession was the softness in his heart, and taking her back was also a declaration that his cowardly and helpless youth were finally over. From now on, everything he wanted would belong to him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get a little excited. He reached out to hold Lin Luo's hands on the table, but Lin Luo dodged: "Mr. Chu, please respect yourself. What would it look like if others saw it, or if my boyfriend saw it?"
"Lin Luo, can you please stop talking about your boyfriend?" Chu Ling's emotions were turbulent, and he finally couldn't help but reveal a little of his inner depression. "You don't have to act with me. We've been sitting here for a whole afternoon. If you and Ji Chi'an really had something going on, he would have come a long time ago. But where is he now? He doesn't even have a phone call. Why bother pretending?"
Lin Luo really couldn't refute this. A few hours passed, and Ji Chi'an still didn't reply to her WeChat.
She picked up her phone, ended the recording, put it back in her bag, and stood up to leave. Chu Ling stood up and grabbed her arm from behind.
The skin contact at that moment gave Lin Luo goosebumps. She felt extremely sick and uncomfortable. She tried to pull away, but she couldn't do it. Seeing that Chu Ling was about to pull her over, Lin Luo raised her foot and stomped on him with a high heel.
The pointed and thin heel stepped on the back of Chu Ling's foot. Chu Ling's eyebrows, which had been warm and relaxed, suddenly twisted into a ball. His good upbringing made him not scream in public, but he couldn't help but loosen his hand because of the pain.
Lin Luo quickly took the opportunity to pull herself out. As soon as she took a step back, she fell into a familiar embrace, which made her feel at ease.
Ji Chi'an put one arm around her and pulled her behind him. He took her bag with one hand and smiled at her: "Sorry, dear, there was a traffic jam on the road. I came to pick you up."
Then he looked up and smiled at Chu Ling: "I thought Mr. Chu would be very busy after returning to China, but it seems that he is actually quite free. No wonder, after all, you have a brother to support you, unlike the rest of us who can only work on our own. But I heard that there seems to be a purchase contract that will be sent to your house soon. If Mr. Chu is really free, you can go back and prepare it. I will take Luoluo home now. Baby, let's go. What do you want to eat in the evening?"
"I want to eat the meal cooked by my husband in the evening. Oh, husband, I bought you a watch today."
...
Chu Ling looked at the backs of the two people leaving, listened to their flirting, and his face turned pale.
