Chapter 85 Xing Yu, Stop Investigating
The event ended at 8 pm.
After working for several hours in a row, Lin Yan was exhausted.
Su Xin stepped forward and handed her a bottle of water: "Sister Lin Yan, drink some water. You've worked hard."
Lin Yan unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip, then looked at her solemnly: "What's going on with the translation? Did you take the wrong one? Did you check it carefully?"
Su Xin looked wronged and raised her hand to swear, "Sister Lin Yan, you repeatedly warned me, how could I have taken the wrong one? Absolutely not!"
Lin Yan thought for a moment and then asked, "Have the manuscript and USB flash drive ever been in anyone else's hands?"
Su Xin shook her head, then nodded: "It seems so..."
"who?"
"In the afternoon, Vice President Zhu called me out and said she wanted to check the translation of the event, so I showed it to her."
"She watched it in front of you?"
"Hmm..." Su Xin hesitated, shrinking her neck, and continued, "But during that time, she asked me to go get something, which only took a few minutes..."
"So you didn't recheck the translation when you got it back from her?"
“No…no.”
Lin Yan's face darkened and she took a deep breath.
"Su Xin, didn't I tell you not to let go of important documents? You knew Zhu Yinqin was going to cause trouble, but you still gave her the documents. Where's your brain?"
Su Xin lowered her head and bit her lip.
"Sister Lin Yan, I'm sorry... I thought she's the Vice President of Yishuo after all, so she shouldn't be so petty... If something really happened to her, it wouldn't be any good for her..."
Lin Yan replied without any emotion.
"Humanity is the most unpredictable thing. Even if you're in the same boat, someone with malicious intent will try to drag you down with them, even at their own peril. There's no such thing as emotions in the workplace, let alone structure. There's only endless backstabbing and countless interests."
"Su Xin, remember this. Be more careful and cautious in your work from now on. Don't make any mistakes! If you make such a stupid mistake again, go back to Longping. A big company with all its intrigue isn't for you."
Su Xin sniffed: "I understand, Sister Lin Yan..."
Lin Yan glanced at the time and threw the computer bag to her: "You go back first, I have something else to do."
"Um."
Seeing Su Xin leave, she called Xing Yu.
After a while, Li Yiliang appeared and took her to the hotel's rooftop garden.
When she reached the door, she smelled the fragrance of flowers.
Li Yiliang took out a magnetic card and swiped the access control card, and the protective door slowly opened.
Lin Yan knew that Manzun’s security facilities were very complete, but she didn’t expect that the rooftop garden also had access control.
"Secretary Li, does every guest have to swipe their card before entering?" she asked.
"Director Lin, this is President Xing...Xun's private area. Hotel guests are not allowed in."
Private area.
The leisure and elegance of the rich.
Lin Yan didn't ask any more questions and walked in.
As soon as you step inside, you feel like you're surrounded by green mountains and clear waters. The rooftop is half covered with stones, and half is planted with green grass and flowers. There's also a pond where fish swim freely.
Walking further in, Lin Yan suddenly stopped.
She actually saw a locust tree. Although it was not the flowering season, it was spring and the leaves were sprouting green buds.
Lin Yan half-raised her head and looked at the locust tree in front of her, her thoughts already taken away...
Behind me, footsteps were heard.
Before she could turn around, Xing Yu's voice came over.
"In two months, the locust tree will bloom. Ah Yan, the fragrance will spread across the entire rooftop. You're sure to love it."
Her thoughts were stripped away, and she did not turn around to look at him. She continued to look at the locust tree, her eyes becoming dim.
"But the Sophora japonica flowers only bloom for a dozen days. There's no need to worry about something that stays for a short time and disappears quickly."
Xing Yu's footsteps were getting closer and closer. When he came to her side, he suddenly asked a question: "Do you know the language of the locust flowers?"
"Transcend the mundane world, the love of spring." Lin Yan scoffed, "Most flowers symbolize love, but love is not as pure and clean as flowers."
"Besides love." Xing Yu walked up to her and stared at her: "It also represents hope."
Lin Yan saw something different in his eyes, but she didn't want to understand and remained silent.
Xing Yu's eyes were fixed on her, his deep voice powerful and gentle.
"Ayan, locust flowers also symbolize the hope for a better life and the confidence to overcome difficulties..."
Lin Yan understood the meaning of his words. She paused for several seconds, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and met his gaze.
"Xing Yu, stop investigating me. You can't find out about my past."
Her directness was beyond his expectations.
Without waiting for Xing Yu to organize his words, Lin Yan continued speaking, as if she had already prepared everything in advance, her tone calm and slow.
"I know what Song Yanzheng and you talked about. I also know that you actually... have seen the scar on my back a long time ago..."
"Xing Yu, I'm a prickly, cold, twisted, and ungrateful person. I'm not worthy of you approaching me again and again. I have no plans to fall in love in this life, let alone get married..."
"You are good and deserve better, but I am not the one who makes you worthy. Being with me will make you very tired and very hard..."
Xing Yu's heart sank to the bottom, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. He said nothing, just looked at her quietly.
It was hard to explain why, but her eyes were clearly dim, yet they were like sharp ice knives, piercing straight into his heart.
There was a pause.
Lin Yan lowered her head, as if trying to hide something, then slowly walked to the edge of the rooftop fence with her back to him.
The cold voice grew deeper and deeper, mixed with pleading and hoarseness that he had never heard before.
"Xing Yu, stop checking. Revealing the scar...will be very painful..."
Looking at her slender back, he tried hard to suppress his emotions but couldn't stop the mist from rising in his eyes.
He walked over slowly and gently embraced her from behind, but did not dare to use force.
"I'm sorry, Yan. I won't check it anymore. I won't check it again..."
How could I bear to see her in pain?
I can't bear to do that at all.
Lin Yan turned around and met his eyes.
The red eyes were full of determination and indifference.
She broke away the hand that was wrapped around her waist and spoke to him in a distant and indifferent tone.
"Xing Yu, I just want to live a peaceful and stable life alone. I don't want anyone to disturb me, including you."
"This is what I want to talk to you about today. I'm telling you one last time: there's no possibility for you and me, no aftermath, and no future."
"Please, let me go..."
Beg him to let her go.
Could it be that this period of time has really put a lot of pressure on her invisibly?
He has been very restrained and careful.
But it still made her feel uncomfortable...
Xing Yu's Adam's apple moved up and down, but he was speechless.
He stared at her for a long time, until a cool evening breeze blew from the rooftop, and then he whispered to her.
"Well, let you go..."
