Chapter 273 From now on I will never cause you any trouble again
A week later in the morning, Lin Yan received a call from Su Xin.
We chatted for over an hour before hanging up.
Lin Yan walked into the living room and paused.
I saw Xing Yu sitting on the sofa with a document between his fingers.
"Didn't you go to the company today?" Lin Yan walked over, picked up the warm water on the coffee table and took a sip.
Xing Yu raised his eyes to look at her, stretched out his hand and pulled her to his side: "I'll stay at home with you on the weekend."
He put down the document and paused his gaze on her face for a few seconds: "Were you on the phone just now?"
"Yes, it's Su Xin." Lin Yan didn't hide it and smiled: "She said that Xing Mo has been crazy recently and always pestering her. She is almost annoyed and asked me what to do."
Xing Yu raised an eyebrow, as if he had heard something interesting: "Xing Mo, that kid, has fallen in love after all."
"But Su Xin doesn't seem to have much interest in him."
"Whether you're interested or not depends on how Xing Mo pursues you." Xing Yu: "Ayan, weren't you not interested in me at first? But I won you over anyway."
"So what do you think... Can Su Xin become your sister-in-law?"
Xing Yu leaned back, his posture lazy: "Yes. Even though Xing Mo has never been in a relationship, his methods are no less than mine."
After chatting for a while, Lin Yan raised her hand and stroked his eyebrows.
"Now the Xing family has completely overcome its difficulties. A while ago, I saw you busy until late at night every day, and I didn't dare to disturb you."
Xing Yu: "I really didn't expect Xing Mo to return the funds in full."
"Actually, Xing Mo is pretty good."
Xing Yu laughed. "Well, he talks tough, but the timing of the funds arriving just happened to be stuck at the most critical juncture. If he was really determined to bring down the Xing Group, he wouldn't have to do this."
"So..." Lin Yan continued, her eyes becoming more serious. "He's not a bad person by nature. Wasn't it him who saved me when Qin Zhuoyi threw me into the river? This time when the company was in trouble, he openly confronted you, but secretly returned the funds. He's just like that, he likes to put on airs, but he knows his inner thoughts better than anyone else."
"Xing Yu, although you and Xing Mo are not related by blood, you should treat him as your own brother from now on. He has no family and no friends, so he's actually quite pitiful. Let's treat him better from now on."
"Still treating him badly? Ah Yan, I've been very tolerant." Xing Yu thought of the last time he went to see him and found it humorous. "Actually, I already had a solution to the funding issue. Later, he returned the funds, and I wanted to go talk to him."
"In the end, he told me with a sullen face that he was not returning the funds to help me, but because he was afraid of getting into trouble and facing a lawsuit. In short, he was not soft-spoken at all."
Lin Yan put it bluntly: "He just can't bring himself to do that."
"Of course. I need to save face."
"A grown man, but when he gets awkward, he acts like a little girl."
After finishing the conversation, Xing Yu's gaze returned to Lin Yan's face. The smile in his eyes just now gradually deepened, and his tone became more serious: "Ayan, you work beside Song Yanzheng. Is there anything unusual recently?"
"He didn't do anything out of line to me. We got along normally, and he didn't cross any lines."
Xing Yu's eyes darkened: "If it's too normal, it's not normal."
Lin Yan: "Yeah, I feel something is wrong too. Song Yanzheng is too deep in thought, and he's been too quiet lately. I have a feeling he's secretly planning something..."
"I've been trying to investigate his recent movements and see who he's been in contact with. But he's been so thorough in wiping out any traces that I haven't been able to find any useful information."
Xing Yu reached out and held her hand. The warmth of his palm passed through her skin, bringing peace of mind. "Ayan, the Xing family's crisis is over now. Next, I should deal with Song Yanzheng."
Lin Yan looked up at him with confusion in her eyes: "What are you going to do?"
"You'll know when you go to work tomorrow." Xing Yu took her hand and said, "Okay, go back to your room to change clothes. I'll take you out for something delicious."
Lin Yan was a little tired, and she stayed in his arms without moving: "I don't want to go out to eat, I want to eat the food you cook."
Xing Yu coaxed gently: "Ayan, today really can't be. Lin Zhi will be back in Lantai tomorrow. We have to have dinner with brother, right?"
"How come I don't know?" Lin Yan snorted, "Why do I feel like you're getting closer to my brother privately?"
"We have to maintain good relations with my wife's family."
…
Lin Yan and Xing Yu went to a Chinese restaurant. When they walked in, they saw a familiar figure sitting by the window.
Lin Zhi was wearing a black suit with his collar zipped up high, revealing only his cold and hard jaw. He was looking down at his phone.
"Brother." Lin Yan walked over.
Lin Zhi immediately raised his head, and the corners of his mouth, which had been tightly pursed, softened a little when he saw her: "Yan Yan."
Xing Yu naturally pulled out a chair for Lin Yan to sit down, and then he sat down next to her.
"Brother, why did you suddenly come back to Lantai?" Lin Yan asked Lin Zhi as soon as she sat down, still holding the water cup that Xing Yu had just handed her. "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so why don't you leave after the New Year?"
Lin Zhi put his phone back in his pocket and said, "There's a problem with a batch of goods. A Lei went back two days ago and couldn't fix it. I have to go back and deal with it myself. If I don't keep an eye on it, I'm afraid something will go wrong."
After saying that, he didn't want to let Lin Yan down, so he raised his lips and added, "Yan Yan, I'll try to come back before New Year's Eve and have New Year's Eve dinner with you and your wife, okay?"
Lin Yan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Lin Zhi pushed the menu over and said, "I've ordered all the dishes you like. What else would you like to add?"
"That's enough. Order more after you finish eating."
The dishes were quickly served. Lin Zhi had just picked up his chopsticks when he saw Xing Yu raise his hand and wave to the waiter, "Please add another set of bowls and chopsticks."
Lin Zhi paused in picking up the food and looked up at him: "Anyone else?"
Xing Yu and Lin Yan exchanged glances, and Lin Yan took over the conversation: "Well, I just contacted her. She said she happened to be nearby, so I asked her to come over."
"Who?" Lin Zhi asked, a hint of caution in his tone. He didn't like meeting strangers, especially at a dinner party like this.
"Brother." Lin Yan was talking when she caught a glimpse of a figure at the door and raised her chin towards him: "Here he comes."
The glass door at the entrance was pushed open and a gust of cold air came in.
Qu Qingluo walked in wearing a long white coat.
Her usually smooth medium-length hair was tied up in a loose low ponytail at the back of her head today. A few strands of hair hung down beside her cheeks, making her face look delicate and beautiful, but her expression showed abnormal haggardness.
Qu Qingluo's eyes swept around the store, and when he met Lin Zhi's sight, he decisively looked away.
She walked very slowly, as if she mustered up great courage to move forward step by step.
She didn't look at Lin Zhi, but walked straight to Lin Yan, her voice soft and timid: "Sister Lin Yan..."
"Luoluo, please sit down." Lin Yan smiled at her and pointed to the empty seat next to her.
Qu Qingluo glanced at the empty seat next to Lin Zhi, hesitated for a moment, and didn't dare to sit down. Finally, she pulled a chair from the next table and sat next to Lin Yan.
Lin Zhi didn't even look at her from beginning to end, and just kept eating.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere at the table suddenly became stagnant.
Lin Yan coughed, trying to lighten the mood, and looked at Qu Qingluo: "Luoluo, why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell?"
Qu Qingluo shook her head and poked the rice in the bowl with her chopsticks, causing the rice grains to scatter, but she didn't eat a single bite.
Her voice was a little hoarse. "No. I've been like this since I was a child. It's no big deal."
Lin Yan said with concern: "It's cold, you should wear more clothes, your coat is too thin."
"I see. Thank you."
Qu Qingluo was silent for a while, pinched the chopsticks, and then slowly raised his head, his eyes passing over the table and carefully falling on Lin Zhi: "Brother, will you go back to Lantai tomorrow?"
Lin Zhi seemed not to hear and continued to eat with his head down. After a long while, he finally squeezed out a word from his throat, which was as cold as ice: "Hmm."
The "hmm" was so soft that it was almost drowned out by the noise in the store, but it fell clearly into Qu Qingluo's ears.
The color on her face seemed to fade a little, but she tried to pull up a faint smile: "Okay, then... then be careful."
She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding the emotions in her eyes, and when she raised her eyes again, her tone became a little more relaxed.
"Brother, come home for the New Year this year. Don't worry... I won't be home this year. I've applied for a transfer to work out of town, so there won't be any New Year holidays. So you should go back and be with Mom and Dad..."
"Also... I listened to my mom and went on a blind date. He's a very nice guy and treats me very well..."
"Brother... I'm sorry. I was too willful and ignorant before. Don't worry, from now on I won't cause you any trouble..."
