Chapter 26: Breaking Through
How could she refute a fact that everyone around her knew?
If she refutes it, will anyone believe it?
Lin You has a quiet personality and even cries silently.
Her eyes were originally pure and bright, and now they were filled with tears, shining with clear and fragmented light, like the finest gems, dazzling and beautiful.
Shi Jingyuan watched her cry silently, and all his annoyance and anger disappeared.
He sighed and put his arm around her shoulders, letting her lean against his chest.
Under normal circumstances, Lin You would have pushed him away without hesitation.
But at this moment, her thoughts were in a mess, and she had no time to pay attention to this sudden hug.
*
After a long time, she was tired of crying and gradually stopped sobbing.
Only then did she notice that her face was pressed against his chest. This kind of intimate posture should never appear between her and Shi Jingyuan.
She is not an ignorant girl who knows nothing. She is well aware of certain boundaries between men and women.
What's more, the person in front of him was Shi Jingyuan.
She raised her head slightly and met Shi Jingyuan's deep gaze.
This kind of look is not from a boss looking at a subordinate, but from a man looking at a woman.
Lin You was suddenly startled and stepped back in a hurry.
Seeing her reaction, Shi Jingyuan laughed instead of getting angry.
The tiny doubt that had just arisen in my heart suddenly no longer needed to be confirmed.
Given his status, if this woman wants to find a financial sponsor, he would be the best target.
That kind of woman would never react like her.
"I'm sorry for making Mr. Shi laugh at me."
Lin You apologized indifferently.
Shi Jingyuan didn't comment. He took a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, and turned to ask, "Don't you want to explain?"
Lin You pursed his lips.
After a long while, he finally spoke, but only said three words.
"No explanation."
Shi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Aren't you afraid that I'll misunderstand?"
Lin You said nothing.
She lowered her eyes, looking as if she wouldn't speak.
She thought that if he was really interested in her, it would save a lot of trouble if he misunderstood her.
The irritation that Shi Jingyuan had suppressed began to rise again.
He took a deep drag on his cigarette, put it out, and said with a hint of displeasure, "Forget it, I'll tell you when you want to talk about it!"
*
I don't know when the business car stopped, the door opened, and He Xuan was already waiting outside.
Shi Jingyuan handed her travel bag to He Xuan, then turned to Lin You and said, "I'll let He Xuan take you in."
"Thank you, Mr. Shi." After seeing through his thoughts, Lin You didn't want to talk to him any more and got out of the car quietly.
She had just taken two steps when Shi Jingyuan called her again.
"When will you return to Jinggang City? I'll pick you up."
Lin You turned around and saw the change in his attitude.
Ever since he hugged her just now, he no longer called her Miss Lin, and his tone of voice became more intimate.
They are all adults, Lin You knew that this was the time for him to start showing his attitude.
With the attitude of a superior, a hunter.
"You're always bothering me when you don't need to. I've already bought my return high-speed rail ticket."
This time, she didn't even bother to say a polite thank you.
Shi Jingyuan was stunned, as if he didn't expect her response to be so cold. Was it because he hadn't shown it clearly enough?
Or, does she want more?
*
He Xuan sent Lin You to the gate of the courtyard.
He is hardworking and always has a positive smile on his face.
"Sister Lin..." He Xuan thought of Lin You's attitude towards Mr. Shi when they got off the car just now, and couldn't help but want to say a few good words for his boss.
"Mr. Shi has never spent so much time and effort on a woman before."
He Xuan has been Shi Jingyuan's assistant since graduation. He seems careless, but he is actually very meticulous, otherwise he would not have been able to hold the position of special assistant to the president.
Lin You's eyes were slightly mocking, "So? Should I be grateful and happily become his lover?"
He Xuan was stunned, as if he didn't expect Lin You to break the window paper and say what Mr. Shi was thinking directly.
Lin You sneered, "Assistant He, do you think Mr. Shi will marry me even if he is with me?"
He Xuan: “…”
They are all people who have struggled in society and have seen the dirtiest side of this circle.
He Xuan wanted to say a few words to coax her against his will, but when he looked at her eyes, which were clear and pure, he knew she would not believe him.
He hesitated for a moment, but in the end did not speak and humiliate himself.
Lin You laughed bitterly, "Dating without the goal of getting married is just hooliganism."
"Besides, even if Mr. Shi and I are together, we're not in a relationship. He won't even admit that I'm his girlfriend to anyone, right?"
Her questioning left He Xuan speechless.
He just didn't expect that Lin You could see so clearly...
As if she had experienced it.
"He Xuan, was it true that there were no other available rooms in the hotel last night?" Lin You asked again.
If she didn't know what Shi Jingyuan was thinking, she wouldn't have thought in this direction, but now...
He Xuan hesitated and didn't dare to answer her question directly.
Lin You got the expected answer and did not blame him.
As Shi Jingyuan's assistant, his position is of course to help his boss unconditionally.
Even if there are things that cannot be done openly, he is sensible enough to do them secretly.
With Mr. Shi's intelligence, he could certainly not hide his little trick.
But since Shi Zong did not stop it, it means he tacitly agreed.
Lin You took the luggage bag from He Xuan and said softly, "Go back. Don't do this kind of pimping thing anymore."
After a pause, she said solemnly:
"Goodbye, Assistant He."
At that moment, He Xuan knew that from then on, he was no longer a friend who could give care to Lin You, but just Mr. Shi's assistant.
The last fig leaf was torn off, and He Xuan did not regret what he had done, he was just a little worried.
He Xuan couldn't help but remind her, "Sister Lin, since you understand what Mr. Shi meant, you should know that people like them will never give up until they achieve their goals. They will always get what they want."
"Yeah." Lin You said in a low voice, "I know. I'll take care of it. I'm going in."

Lin You stepped into the yard and saw Su Yu busy in the kitchen. Suddenly, his nose felt a little sore.
She threw away her travel bag, ran behind Su Yu and hugged her from behind.
"mom."
She cried out with a choked sob.
Su Yu was making shrimp cakes. Hearing the sound, she turned around and tapped Lin You on the forehead.
"You damn girl, you want to die! My cake is burnt!"
"You're already grown up, but you still need your mother to hold you. Are you a mama's girl?"
"Let me go quickly, what a shame!"
"Hey, what's with all those tears? Stop pretending to be pitiful in front of me. Go clean up your room quickly, or you'll have to sleep on the sofa tonight!"
Amidst Ms. Su Yu's nagging, Lin You's chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down.
Forget it, after all, she was careless and offended people from that class again.
She had already missed it once, and she would never miss it a second time.
