Chapter 25 Then you can give it a try with Coach Xing
“…”
Lin Yan guessed that Xing Yu really followed her.
She thought of the back of the man in a suit she saw in the banquet hall last night.
"Xing Yu." She put a band-aid on his wound and asked, "Did you go to the wedding last night?"
Xing Yu laughed: "If you follow me wherever I go, you're a qualified follower."
Lin Yan didn't respond. She clasped her hands on the pillow between her legs and looked at him solemnly.
"Xing Yu, I explained it to you very clearly last time..."
Halfway through his words, the door rang at an inopportune moment.
Xing Yu stood up and opened the door. It was the hotel staff who brought in the dry-cleaned clothes.
Xing Yu handed her the clothes and said, "I have to go out for something later. You stay in the hotel and don't run around."
"I have a meeting with a friend at noon." She made an appointment with Cheng Qing for lunch.
"Okay." Xing Yu asked, "Where are you meeting?"
"Basong Restaurant."
"Okay. Let's go out together."
After packing up, she and Xing Yu walked out of the hotel together.
There was a car parked on the side of the road that Xing Yu had called in advance: "Get in, it's on our way."
Lin Yan got into the car without asking any questions.
After arriving at the restaurant, Lin Yan saw Xing Yu sitting in the car and turning around and driving back.
It's on the way.
It's obviously not the same direction...
Lin Yan watched the rear end of the car disappear from her sight and stood there for a while, not knowing what to do.
Then he turned and walked into the restaurant.
As soon as she entered, she saw Cheng Qing sitting in the corner.
Her shoulder-length hair looked unkempt, dry and a little messy.
She was fat and bloated, with no makeup on.
The skin looks sallow and slightly rough.
Although he is only 27 years old, he looks tired and haggard.
Who would have thought that before Cheng Qing got married and had children, she was a famous beauty in their department.
It turns out that life is cruel to everyone.
Lin Yan walked over and Cheng Qing stood up and hugged her.
"Yan Yan, I miss you so much!"
A faint smell of milk came from my nose, which came from Cheng Qing.
"I miss you as well."
After sitting down, the two began to chat about each other's recent situation.
Cheng Qing stared at Lin Yan and frowned: "Yan Yan, you've lost weight again. How many pounds now?"
"ninety."
Cheng Qing's frown deepened. "You're too thin! You're 168cm tall and your ideal weight should be 52kg. Any thinner and it'll affect your health."
Lin Yan held the water cup and said, "I'm not trying to lose weight, so I won't gain weight no matter how much I eat."
"It's really a constant cycle. Look at me, I gained over 20 pounds after giving birth to my second child! I dream of losing weight, but I just can't control my mouth." Cheng Qing said helplessly, "Sometimes I want to kneel down and beg myself to stop eating!"
"No." Lin Yan: "You will find that you can eat while kneeling."
Cheng Qing laughed out loud and snorted, "You're still so mean."
Jokes aside, Lin Yan became serious and started talking about business.
She took out an envelope from her bag and gave it to Cheng Qing: "This is the 20,000 yuan you lent me when I went back to my hometown."
Cheng Qing knew she was in a difficult situation and didn't accept it. "I'm not in a hurry, keep it for yourself. Besides, you just found a job in your hometown, how can you have any money? You still have living expenses."
"Don't worry, I saved some money for myself."
She returned to her hometown and before she found a job, she still had some former clients, so she took on a few translation jobs privately to earn some living expenses.
After repeated pushing and shoving, Cheng Qing accepted the money.
"By the way, Yanyan, how are you and your boyfriend, who we met through blind dating, getting along?" Cheng Qing asked. "Every time I ask you on WeChat, you just brush it off and never give me a chance to gossip."
"He's not my boyfriend."
"What?" Cheng Qing put down his chopsticks. "What's going on?"
Lin Yan did not hide anything from her and told her everything about her and Xing Yu.
After listening to this, Cheng Qing thought about it.
"So, what you're saying is that Coach Xing is quite good and interested in you, and you lied to Song Yanzheng about him being your boyfriend to spite him, but you actually think he's too frivolous and you're not interested in him at all, right?"
"He did give me a bad impression at first, but..." Lin Yan paused and continued.
"But after getting to know him, I found that he is actually a nice person, not that bad."
"Yan Yan, if that's the case, you can try to get in touch with him! Good men are hard to come by."
"Look at the one in my family. He's incompetent, unmotivated, and has a bad temper. I really don't know if I was blind or what to marry that old man."
"Cheng Qing, you were indeed too hasty in getting married."
"Alas, it's no use regretting now..." Cheng Qing sighed and turned the topic back to her.
"Yan Yan, you're not still thinking about Song Yanzheng, are you? You better not do that. You're married now, it's time for you to move on."
"We've all become passers-by." Lin Yan's heart was as calm as water, and she felt relieved: "I can take it and let it go. I won't think about a married man anymore."
"Then you can try it with Coach Xing!" A trace of guilt crossed Cheng Qing's face.
"Yan Yan, ever since I gave birth, I haven't had time to care about you. You went through so much bad luck last year, and I wasn't able to be with you. I'm really not a good friend."
"If you really find your home in your hometown and have people to take care of you, I will feel relieved."
Lin Yan raised her lips in self-mockery, as if she was joking.
"Cheng Qing, no one would want to be with a woman with a mental illness. As for me, I'd better not bother her."
Cheng Qing stood up and sat next to her, shaking her hand vigorously. "Yan Yan, your illness can be controlled with medication. Besides, it's not an incurable disease. I won't let you talk nonsense."
Lin Yan stopped smiling, her eyes gradually becoming clear and determined.
"Also, you know me. I've always put my career first and I won't stay in my hometown forever. I worked so hard all these years to escape from that small town, so I will never let a man trap me there again."
"Also, I'm going back to study translation. My goal has not changed: to become a senior translation master and a well-known figure in the translation industry."
Cheng Qing and Lin Yan were college classmates. Lin Yan was in the French department, and she studied German.
She knew better than anyone how hard Lin Yan worked in school.
Not only did he study his major courses thoroughly, but he also taught himself several minor languages.
During her four years in college, Lin Yan almost always stayed in the dormitory to study. She never skipped a class or was late.
He participates in competitions every year and wins a lot of prizes.
Talent plus hard work is the key.
Lin Yan is such a person.
Therefore, she never doubted Lin Yan's ability.
However, she questioned the mentality in the workplace.
"Yan Yan, but...but you've been expelled from Yishuo. And the incident you did caused quite a stir back then. Not only Yishuo, but the entire translation community has banned you. I'm afraid it's going to be difficult for you to go back."
"It's not difficult." Lin Yan: "I have a way."
"What's the solution?"
"Cheng Qing, I was maliciously framed. Do you know who that person was?"
Cheng Qing guessed: "Colleague? Or your competitor?"
"It's Song Yanzheng's wife, Xing Yingxue."
"Xing Yingxue!" Cheng Qing opened his mouth slightly, a look of astonishment on his face. "She's so vicious? No...how did you know?"
"She told me so herself." Lin Yan sneered, "What a self-righteous, empty-headed fool."
Cheng Qing still felt that this matter was a bit tricky: "Yan Yan, Xing Yingxue is the daughter of the Xing family. Her family background cannot be underestimated. I'm afraid... she will be difficult to deal with."
Lin Yan lowered her eyes slightly, picked up the water glass and took a sip.
Qingjue's eyes remained deep and cold as he spoke slowly.
"People without brains are the easiest to deal with. I can give her the man, but I must take back my career."
