Chapter 108 He Wants Status
The small courtyard is not very big, and it has not been as lively as it is today for many years.
With the help of Uncle Zhou, Ms. Su cleaned up a guest room as quickly as possible.
Lin You lived with Ms. Su. Uncle Zhou went back to his own home after cleaning up. Cheng Hao and Shi Jingyuan lived in the same room.
Lin You spread the quilt on the bed, turned around and looked at the two tall men standing by the door, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"You two...are you sure you can squeeze in here tonight?"
Especially Shi Jingyuan, he probably has never slept in the same bed with another man in his life.
Shi Jingyuan held a cigarette in his hand but didn't smoke it. He glanced at Cheng Hao sharply and said to Lin You with a smile, "I'm fine."
Ms. Su called Xiao Cheng so affectionately and asked Xiao Cheng to stay here and told him to go to a hotel.
Of course he refused, saying it was difficult to contact the hotel so late at night and that he had to squeeze in here for the night.
Cheng Hao was calm and composed. "If Mr. Shi has no problem, then I will have no problem too."
Lin You twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay, then you guys should go to bed early."
She didn't expect that Cheng Hao and Shi Jingyuan actually knew each other, but they just greeted each other and it was hard to tell how deep their relationship was.
It is indeed very late now, and these unimportant things can only be discussed in detail later.
After Lin You left and the door closed, fierce hostility broke out between the two men.
Shi Jingyuan lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said with a smile, "I remember Mr. Cheng doesn't smoke, so I won't smoke for you. By the way, Mr. Cheng doesn't mind me smoking, right?"
You've already smoked, and now you're asking him?
Cheng Hao shrugged, with a forced smile, "I don't mind. It's always up to you."
Shi Jingyuan finished his cigarette before asking in a deep voice, "Can I ask Mr. Cheng a question?"
Cheng Hao made a gesture of invitation.
Shi Jingyuan: "I remember Xiaoyou had a fake boyfriend for a while. Was it Mr. Cheng?"
Cheng Hao smiled faintly, "Yes."
For a long moment, neither man spoke.
They are all old foxes in the business world. Some issues are better to be addressed briefly and there is no point in saying more.
After a long time, Shi Jingyuan got up and went out. "Mr. Cheng, please take a rest first. I'm going out to get some fresh air."
Cheng Hao nodded in response, his eyes falling on his back, the smile on his face finally completely disappeared.
He remembered the story Aunt Su told him in the cemetery, and when he heard about Lin You and Chen Lang's meeting and getting to know each other, he understood.
He and Lin You have no chance.
The door closed, blocking Cheng Hao's sight. His eyes darkened and he took out his cell phone to modify Lin You's note.
Changed from a nickname to a name.
From then on, he and Lin You could only be friends.

Half of the Su family's courtyard is planted with flowers and the other half is planted with vegetables.
In Licheng, once people get older, they will inevitably open up a vegetable patch in the garden. This is the respect for food that is ingrained in the Chinese people.
Shi Jingyuan stood in front of the vegetable patch, looking at the vegetable leaves that seemed a little unfamiliar to him, his thoughts gradually drifting away.
The person behind me gradually approached, casting a swaying shadow in the sporadic light.
Shi Jingyuan came back to his senses, saw who was coming, and a smile appeared on his face.
"I knew you would come out."
Shi Jingyuan said this, took a step forward and pulled the person into his arms.
Lin You hesitated for a moment, then raised her arms and hugged his waist.
The warm embrace protects against the cool evening breeze.
The two of them snuggled up to each other until they calmed down. Then Shi Jingyuan held Lin You's face and said softly:
"Now, can you answer my question?"
question……
Lin You lowered his head and said nothing.
She knew he was asking the same question he had asked last time in the cemetery.
But...forgiving yourself is not easy.
Shi Jingyuan sighed and said, "I don't deny that you were involved in the deaths of your father and Chen Lang. However, being involved doesn't mean it's your responsibility! In this matter, neither you nor Chen Lang did anything wrong. What's wrong is the inherent social concept."
Lin You raised his head and met Shi Jingyuan's eyes with a slightly surprised expression.
"You...actually speak for him?"
Shi Jingyuan smiled when he heard that. He raised his hand and tapped her on the forehead.
"Why, do you think I, Shi Jingyuan, am such a petty person? Just because you and he were in love, I have to use the most vicious thoughts to speculate about him?"
After a pause, he continued, "I'm not a saint. If he were still alive, I would definitely compete with him fairly. But he..."
The word "death" is too sensitive.
Shi Jingyuan didn't say it out loud, not wanting to rub salt into Lin You's heart.
Lin You sensed his kindness and said sincerely, "Thank you."
Shi Jingyuan patted her head lovingly, "From your stories, I can tell that he must love you very much. So, I don't mind you always keeping a place for him in your heart."
"So generous?" This was beyond Lin You's expectations.
Could it be that people who stand at Mr. Shi’s level really look at things from a different perspective than ordinary people?
Shi Jingyuan smiled faintly, "I should thank him."
If it weren't for Chen Lang, the person who died might have been Lin You. Therefore, he sincerely thanked the man who devoted himself to Lin You.
For his sake, he can let the Chen family go.
But others...
Shi Jingyuan suddenly exuded a chill. Lin You didn't understand why and thought the night wind had dropped in temperature again.
"You should go in and rest. There are hotels available, but you insist on squeezing in here. You're really asking for trouble."
Lin You took Shi Jingyuan's hand and walked back.
Shi Jingyuan paused and said very seriously, "Lin You, if I hadn't come here today, you wouldn't have known that in Auntie's eyes, Cheng Hao is her future son-in-law! I've given you my body, you can't just pull up your pants and deny it, and now you don't even give me a name."
Lin You was startled, "..."
Shi Jingyuan was very persistent on this issue.
"Lin You, you're trying to play both sides. If the boat capsizes and hurts innocent people, I won't be responsible."
Lin You rolled her eyes at him. He was indeed President Shi. Even when making his demands, he used both soft and hard tactics, leaving her no way out.
Lin You sighed, "Okay. I'll explain this to my mom tomorrow."
Shi Jingyuan was satisfied, so he let her hold his hand and walk him back to the door.
Before entering the door, Shi Jingyuan stroked her cheek and said in a deep voice:
"You should also go to bed early. Although you didn't give me an answer, I still want to say one more thing. Think about it, if you are not happy, then their efforts will be in vain, right?"
After Lin You returned to the room, he groped his way into the quilt and hugged Ms. Su's waist from behind.
Ms. Su was sound asleep, and he instinctively patted the back of her hand as if to comfort her.
Lin You closed his eyes and recalled Shi Jingyuan's words.
After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Was Shi Jingyuan's last sentence calling her a dog?
