Chapter 89 I Want to Hide My Sister
He lingered in the room for a long time before coming out.
He immediately saw Yao Lu sitting on the sofa and talking to Lin Jingchun, who also looked towards him after hearing the voice.
"Jingzhe? Can I call you that? You and your brother look alike. You're brothers after all, equally handsome."
Yao Lu greeted him very familiarly, just like she would meet any ordinary person with all four limbs intact. There was nothing unusual in her expression, and her eyes did not linger on his crutch or left leg for long.
Lin Jingzhe glanced at Gu Nan who was standing behind Yao Lu. She was also looking at him with a smile on her face, and her firm gaze contained implicit encouragement. He smiled back, and his tense muscles relaxed slightly, just like a little hedgehog slowly retracting its sharp short spines.
"Thank you." He responded to her.
"Let's go have dinner together to celebrate your brother's signing." Yao Lu took her briefcase and went out first. "I'll call the boss and make a reservation."
Yao Lu found Cui Shao, Cui Shao found Fu Shuang, and finally the six of them sat at the same table.
As the initial matchmaker, Fu Shuang did not expect that Lin Jingchun would eventually sign a contract with Cui Shao. Although her student was not good at painting, he had a good eye for investment. He had been doing very well in the past few years since graduation. What was rare was that he still remembered her as his teacher.
As the protagonist of tonight, Lin Jingchun was naturally surrounded in the middle, with Fu Shuang sitting on his left and Gu Nan sitting on his right. Cui Shao sat on Fu Shuang's left, and his position happened to be opposite to Gu Nan.
Lin Jingchun wanted to talk to them from time to time and didn't pay much attention to Gu Nan and Lin Jingzhe. Gu Nan listened to their conversation while paying attention to Lin Jingzhe.
He seldom goes out and rarely eats with so many strangers. The glamorous titles of wealthy CEO and university professor are worlds apart from the circle he lives in.
He lowered his head, was very silent, and even a little restrained. He couldn't figure out the purpose of so many tableware in front of him, so he could only follow Gu Nan and imitate him.
Gu Nan used the serving chopsticks to pick up food for him, and he also picked up food for her.
Gu Nan likes to eat braised pork, so he kept turning the table for her, causing Cui Shao opposite to look at him frequently.
"Sister, he always looks at us." He whispered to Gu Nan's ear.
Gu Nan wanted to laugh, so he leaned over and whispered, "Because you keep turning the table, he can't get any food."
Lin Jingzhe quietly withdrew his hand from turning the table, his face flushed red, as if complaining, but also as if frightened by his sullen look, "He looks a bit fierce."
"Fortunately, he's a nice guy, just a little pretentious. Just ignore him." After a pause, he added, "Don't bother me. I can pick up whatever I like myself."
From now on, Cui Shao and Lin Jingchun will hardly see each other throughout the year, not to mention Lin Jingzhe. He shouldn't be so stingy as to hold a grudge over a mere meal.
Cui Shao narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two people opposite him who were blatantly whispering in each other's ears.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but sometimes, Gu Nan and Lin Jingzhe looked more like a couple than Lin Jingchun, especially Lin Jingzhe. The look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Nan was really not innocent.
Suddenly, Lin Jingzhe glanced at him sideways.
Narrow and long fox eyes, thin eyelids, and a casual smile on his face, which made him look cunning and complacent.
Cui Shao actually saw provocation in this look.
He put down his chopsticks, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. His eyes hidden behind his glasses revealed a hint of subtle aggression.
He has seen countless people and things, and has a sharp intuition. So far, he has only fallen at the hands of Gu Nan. Although Lin Jingzhe is a cripple and looks weak and easy to bully on the surface, he is definitely not an easy person to deal with compared to his brother Lin Jingchun.
Yao Lu noticed Cui Shao as he put down his chopsticks. She bumped his leg under the table and lowered her voice, "What are you doing?"
Cui Shao tilted his body slightly, "What's wrong with that kid Lin Jingzhe?"
"What's going on? He's Lin Jingchun's younger brother. It's just a free meal. Don't be so stingy, okay?"
Cui Shao was simply impressed by Yao Lu, the hexagonal idiot who was incompetent at everything and always scolded him as the number one.
He was so angry that he was grinding his teeth. "Didn't you see the look he gave Gu Nansheng? Are you blind?"
Yao Lu looked up and saw the two of them, each eating their own food with their heads down. It was so quiet and harmonious. "Are you okay? Are you jealous if a mosquito lands on Gu Nansheng? You should stop it. That's enough."
Cui Shao: “…”
He swore that he would never go on a business trip with Yao Lu again. She should be like a brick buried in the concrete wall. If he was around her, he would get high blood pressure in minutes.
"What are you two whispering about?" Fu Shuang said to Cui Shao.
Yao Lu continued, "I was just telling President Cui that there are a few announcements that could be given to Jingchun. They require him to fly to the capital, and he won't be back for ten days or half a month. I'm worried he won't be able to leave his girlfriend and brother behind, so I'm trying to figure out how to arrange it."
Fu Shuang was surprised, "I got a job so soon."
"Yes, Jingchun's cover was very successful. As soon as I released the announcement, magazines and brands immediately started discussing cooperation."
Yao Lu said to Lin Jingchun, "Jingchun, please consider it. If you want to fly to the capital with us next time, please do so."
After dinner, Cui Shao drove the three of them home. When they got out of the car, he took the initiative to say, "This opportunity is rare. I hope you can consider it carefully."
Lin Jingchun paused as he opened the door, then nodded. "I will. Thank you, Mr. Cui."
Cui Shao put one hand on the steering wheel, his slender knuckles gently tapping the fine leather, and his eyes fell on Lin Jingzhe through the rearview mirror.
Lin Jingzhe seemed to have sensed something, opened his eyes and looked at him in the mirror.
A cold and indifferent gaze flashed in the dim light of the carriage, cold and sharp as if looking at an enemy close at hand.
Cui Shao knew his judgment was correct, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Gu Nansheng."
Gu Nan stopped getting out of the car and looked back, "What's wrong?"
Cui Shao noticed that Lin Jingzhe was gripping the back of the chair with force, and his evil taste was suddenly satisfied. A kind of hunter's pleasure playing with his prey surged in his heart. He stared into Lin Jingzhe's eyes, which gradually became darker and more sinister, and said with a slow emphasis and ambiguous meaning:
"be safe."
Gu Nan felt that there was something else behind his words, but he didn't turn around. She couldn't see his expression, so she just thought it was a kind reminder.
"Thank you. I will."
Lin Jingzhe pressed his lips into a straight line and stared at Cui Shao with a fierce look, as if he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Cui Shao smiled faintly in response, his face showing a smug and provocative look, as if he was returning the glance at the dinner table.
After a moment, Lin Jingzhe saw that he had no intention of speaking again, so he lowered his gaze and got out of the car.
The car door closed and the dark blue luxury car sped away in the darkness.
Lin Jingzhe watched the car go away little by little, his clenched fingertips loosened, and his palms were already wet.
He was walking on a tightrope, treading on thin ice, and found that there were enemies on all sides.
And he had a premonition that things would not be peaceful in the future.
He stared at Gu Nan's back, his eyes flickering faintly, and he really wanted to hide his sister.
