After drinking some wine, Xu Yillong's anger subsided. Li Lin had completed his work of comforting him and could report to Qian Lingyun.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when I got home.
Xu Wen had been waiting anxiously at home. She thought that she could be with Li Lin every day after arriving in Shannan County. Unexpectedly, except for meeting him once at night, she couldn't see Li Lin the whole day. This made her very angry.
When Li Lin got home in the evening, Xu Wen blocked the door and asked him, "Xiao Lin, are you so busy? You went out all day and didn't even come home to see me?"
Li Lin begged for mercy again and again, coaxing her into the house and explaining, "The county has launched a big project, and there is a lot of preliminary work. That's not all, the businessmen from Yanjing are just adding to the chaos. The two gangs actually fought over the project. If I hadn't discovered it in time today, Mr. Xu from Yanjing would have been killed!"
As he spoke, he walked into the bedroom and changed into a comfortable home outfit, then went to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water without looking at Xu Wen's expression.
However, when Xu Wen heard the words "Mr. Xu of Yanjing", she was shocked and thought, could this "Mr. Xu" be her brother Xu Yillong?
Hearing Li Lin's words, which were so scary and almost life-threatening, he immediately panicked, but he didn't dare to ask Li Lin for details, so he pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "When did it happen? Why did the two gangs fight? Is the injury serious? Why does it sound so scary..."
Li Lin took a sip of water, took a breath and said, "This morning, he was hit on the head with a stick and had two stitches. It was considered a minor injury, but he looked pretty good overall. We drank together tonight."
"Ah? You still drank with him even though he was so badly injured? Aren't you afraid..." Xu Wen thought of Xu Yillong's head covered in blood, and felt distressed. She couldn't help but blame Li Lin for letting Xu Yillong drink.
"What are you afraid of? He insisted on drinking, and I didn't force him to drink. If it weren't for Secretary Qian's instructions to calm him down, to be honest, I wouldn't have the time to drink with him." Li Lin sat down on the sofa and said to Xu Wen.
Xu Wen pouted, not daring to ask any more questions, and explained, "I'm afraid you'll get him drunk. What if he blackmails you? You're the county magistrate and he's a businessman, and businessmen are the best at blackmailing officials... I'm doing this for your own good."
Li Lin took her hand and sat down, put his arm around her shoulders, and said lovingly, "You are right, businessmen are the best at blackmailing officials. I will stay away from them in the future."
At this time Li Rong walked out of the room.
Li Lin quickly removed his hand from Xu Wen's shoulder, and the two separated and sat upright, looking a little awkward.
At night, the two still slept separately.
One in the bedroom.
A sleeping sofa.
Alone in the bedroom, Xu Wen had her own private space, so she eagerly took out her phone and sent a message to Xu Yilong, asking him, "Brother, are you hurt?"
At this time, Xu Yilong was sober. He didn't know whether the headache was caused by the pain or the alcohol. He rubbed his head and stared at the message sent by Xu Wen on his mobile phone, wondering, how did she know?
After a brief pause, in order not to worry Xu Wen, he replied evasively, "Li Lin told you? I'm fine, just a minor injury!"
After seeing Xu Yillong's reply, Xu Wen finally felt relieved.
Xu Wen complained, "Li Lin said that Mr. Xu from Yanjing was beaten up. I guess it was you! He got two stitches and you said it wasn't serious? You dared to drink alcohol when you were injured? You don't value your body! I'm going to tell Dad later and see how he'll deal with you!"
"No, no... don't tell Dad..." Xu Yilong begged for mercy quickly. If his father Xu Yongchang knew about this, wouldn't he rush to Pingyang and break his legs?
Xu Wen sent another long string of messages, saying, "No project is important, your life is important! If you can't do it, don't do it. Can't you go back and do something else? Do you have to compete with others? The society is so dangerous now, Pingyang is not your territory, you'd better be careful."
Xu Yilong said, "The ones who are against me are not others, but Cao Ziming and Cen Mingyuan. These two are the dogs around Zhai Yuhan, biting whoever they see. In the final analysis, this is still a struggle in the circle of Beijing. I can't avoid it, and I can't avoid it! Don't worry, I won't let Zhai off easily. I will make your brother pay a terrible price!"
Zhai Yuhan?
Xu Wen was distracted for a moment.
I wondered how he got involved in the Shannan County project?
As they were all children of the wealthy family, he had of course heard of Zhai Yuhan's name and knew that this man was not a good person either, so he couldn't help but worry about Xu Yillong again.
He knew that Xu Yilong would not be able to swallow this, and he could not persuade him. He could only repeatedly remind him, "Brother, you don't have to work so hard for business... If you encounter difficulties, you must ask Dad for help, don't force yourself."
Xu Yilong said, "I know..."
Although he said "I know", in fact, he was unwilling to ask Xu Yongchang for help. Once he asked, he would never be able to make a living again!
Then, he changed the subject and said, "Wenwen, I have to thank you for finding me a good brother-in-law. If he hadn't shown up in time today, I would have been in trouble. You should hurry up and tell him your life story so that I can have a legitimate relationship with him. From now on, as long as I have something to eat, I will never treat him badly. I will protect him for the rest of my life!"
Seeing Xu Yilong's recognition of Li Lin, Xu Wen couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother, I'll try to tell him tonight so that you two brothers can "recognize" each other as soon as possible."
Xu Yilong nodded with satisfaction and replied, "I'll wait for your good news."
Xu Wen finally said, "Li Lin is at work during the day, and I'm home alone. I'll take some time to visit you in the city."
Xu Yilong did not refuse and said with a smile, "I'll take you to eat something delicious tomorrow."
