The car drove towards the city. Qin Chen said nothing, and neither did his two partners. After all, such a big thing had happened, and anyone would be scared.
Lin Sui woke up slowly, her stomach was almost bursting with hunger. She stood up and looked out the window first to make sure she had returned to the city safely, then turned back to look at Qin Chen.
"I'm so hungry, let's go get something to eat."
"puff……"
Someone couldn't help laughing. Lin Sui looked towards the passenger seat. The man was muscular and had dark skin. At this moment, his face was full of "I'm sorry, but I really can't help it." When he saw Lin Sui looking at him, he showed his white teeth.
"Sister-in-law, I admire you! After such a big thing happened, the first thing you did when you woke up was to eat!"
Three black lines fell from Lin Sui's head. Wasn't he rescued? Why couldn't he eat?
Qin Chen looked very disappointed, but he still said, "Pull over. I'll take her to eat something."
"Okay!" The man driving the car quickly parked in front of a restaurant. Qin Chen briefly thanked the two men and got out of the car with Lin Sui.
The small restaurant sells all kinds of noodles. Lin Sui ordered a bowl of snail noodles. As he slurped the noodles, he suddenly felt his nose sore and tears flowed down his cheeks and fell into the bowl.
"Promising."
Qin Chen sat opposite and handed Lin Sui a napkin.
"Your company just lets you go into the village to interview alone, without giving you a partner or something?"
Lin Sui gave a wry smile. "You know what the market is like right now. Companies are laying off employees. I'm lucky I have a job!"
Qin Chen didn't say anything. After a pause, he raised his head and asked, "Where's your husband? Doesn't he support you?"
Lin Sui didn't want to talk about this topic with Qin Chen, so she lowered her head and slurped the noodles.
"Hmm? I'm asking you?"
But Qin Chen kept asking questions.
"He and I each spend our own money," Lin Sui said with a smile. "That's good. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain if our assets were mixed together. Although I don't have much."
Qin Chen stared at Lin Sui's smiling face, said "oh", and lowered his head to eat.
I thought the topic was over, but unexpectedly Qin Chen asked again: "Is he good to you?"
Lin Sui's body stiffened for a moment, and she grinned, "Why say this? I deserve it, whether good or bad. I'm not used to complaining."
"Besides, I'm going to divorce him sooner or later!"
Lin Sui said this very seriously.
After eating a bowl of noodles, Qin Chen took a taxi to take Lin Sui back to the hotel. When he learned that she was still living in the small hotel she lived in before, Qin Chen was silent for a long time.
When they were sent to the door of the small hotel, Lin Sui mustered up the courage to look up and ask Qin Chen if he wanted to come in and sit down.
Qin Chen put his hands in his pockets and looked at Lin Sui with complicated eyes.
The words he spoke were also very cold.
He said, "I'm not interested in you right now."
"Oh." Lin Sui pursed her lips and nodded.
It was so embarrassing that she just wanted to leave this place quickly. She waved to Qin Chen and ran into the small hotel in small steps.
Qin Chen looked at Lin Sui's fleeing back with a smile on his face.
Lin Sui returned to her room, took a thorough shower, and lay down on her bed, thinking back on what had happened today. She felt a surge of fear. She knew she couldn't just hunker down in her work, so she quickly exaggerated her story and sent it to Da Lao Wang. Da Lao Wang called her shortly after, and upon learning she'd escaped safely, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"These two interviews haven't gone well for you. After you come back, why don't you go and pray to the Buddha?"
"ah?"
I never expected that the conversation would go in this direction.
"Of course, everyone has witnessed your hard work. And since you're being put forward for a promotion this month, don't worry, you'll definitely be included."
That's more like it, Lin Sui complained in her heart, but she still declined. After hanging up the phone, Lin Sui felt much better. She took out a calculator and carefully calculated how much more money she could save in a year if she got promoted.
This feeling was very similar to when she was raising money for her father five years ago.
At that time, she borrowed money from all her relatives, but in the end, no one would answer her calls. She still didn't use the money in Qin Chen's card. Inexplicably, she had a sense of self-esteem and didn't want to be looked down upon by the man's family before they got married, even though Qin Chen's parents might not be that kind of people.
After several rounds of chemotherapy, the father became thinner and thinner, like a paper man. Seeing his daughter running around for him, he advised Lin Sui more than once that he didn't want to be treated anymore and just wanted to be happy in his last days.
Lin Sui didn't listen. She had an obsession in her heart. She knew that if she didn't try her best until the last second to treat her father's illness, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
The turning point came one day when the doctor told Lin Sui that her father finally had a suitable match.
Lin Sui was overjoyed and she wanted to have her father operated on immediately, but the cost of the operation was a huge sum that she could not afford.
Lin Sui squatted in the corridor of the hospital, crying her tears dry. She wanted to sell the house, but the old house was not worth much, and even if she sold it, it would only bring her a small amount of money.
It was at this time that she met Zhou Dang again. He came to the hospital to visit a patient and was smoking in the stairwell.
Seeing Lin Sui crying bitterly, his first reaction was...
"Fuck, you really have a seriously ill father?"
Lin Sui wiped her tears, stood up, and didn't want to accept his teasing.
"Hey—don't go!"
Zhou Dang stood in front of Lin Sui, looking at her face which was red from crying, and felt a little itchy in his heart.
"How much money does your dad need?"
Lin Sui said a number.
Zhou Dang raised his eyebrows and asked, "How many nights do you have to sell it?"
Lin Sui didn't expect this playboy to produce any ivory, so he turned sideways and was about to leave.
"How about you marry me? I'll give you the money?"
Lin Sui's hand holding the door handle stopped. She turned around and squinted at Zhou Dang, wanting to know if he was making fun of her.
"My parents are urging me to get married anyway, so I want to try out what marriage is really like."
Lin Sui doesn't believe that pie will fall from the sky.
"What if I want a divorce later?"
"Then return all the money to me."
Zhou Dang smoked a cigarette with a matter-of-fact look on his face.
Lin Sui finally believed it a little, because she didn't take any advantage. In Zhou Dang's words, at most she sold it to him a few years in advance.
"Sure, I'll go with you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate anytime. When can you transfer the money to me?"
Zhou Dang was a little surprised by Lin Sui's straightforwardness.
"Tomorrow, I'll give you another night to think about it."
Zhou Dang blew a puff of smoke into Lin Sui's face, smiled and left.
Lin Sui stood there in a daze, feeling that everything was like a dream. She returned to school with her bag, wondering what to do with Qin Chen.
It seems that there is only one way, which is to break up with Qin Chen.
When Lin Sui thought of this, his heart ached so much.
