(109)
However, Ye Wenyu realized she had broken her promise by the afternoon! She wanted to return the umbrella to Jiang Zhiming as soon as possible, but found it very troublesome to find him. There were five thousand freshmen, and finding one person was like finding a needle in a haystack. Did she have to ask from one department to another, and then from one class to another? How much time and energy would that take? And her time and energy were very precious.
She glanced at the umbrella in her hand, thinking that finding a job was the priority, and whether she could find Jiang Zhiming was up to fate. So, she casually put the umbrella down in the girls' dormitory and hurriedly ran to the city to look for a job.
She spent the entire afternoon standing in a corner of the park, but still couldn't find a tutoring job she liked, so she had to keep going. Feeling somewhat down, she could only keep encouraging herself. On the bus back to school, she thought of Miyazaki Hayao's animated film "Spirited Away," where a character says, "If you don't work, you'll disappear." So, through the trials and tribulations of life, a person becomes stronger.
While Ye Wenyu was busy looking for her third tutoring job to pay off the bar debt, Lin Tingyue, having nothing to do, came to Lin Tingfeng's office again.
One is like an ant in a ditch, busy making a living every day without a moment's rest, while the other, because of his luxurious life, has no need to work and has a lot of time to kill, lamenting his emptiness and loneliness every day.
At the time, the Lin Group was holding a meeting, and Lin Tingfeng, as the chairman, was presiding over the meeting. His office was empty. Lin Tingyue, as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, was known to everyone in Lin Tingfeng's secretariat, so they allowed her to swagger into Lin Tingfeng's office.
Lin Tingyue was waiting for her brother in Lin Tingfeng's office.
After waiting for a while, the surroundings were eerily quiet, and the meeting seemed to drag on endlessly. Feeling extremely bored, she began to rummage through Lin Tingfeng's desk.
This discovery was quite significant. She pulled open a small drawer under her desk and found a small, square ID card inside. She paused, took a look at the card, and then let out a scream, her eyes widening in disbelief.
How is that possible?!
Just as Lin Tingyue screamed, Lin Tingfeng returned from a meeting. He was exhausted; there were many things to do at the company, and during the meeting, the shareholders disagreed and chattered incessantly, like a flock of worldly sparrows, giving him a headache and barely making him angry. By the end of the meeting, he was completely worn out.
Just as he reached the office door, he heard Lin Tingyue shouting in his office. His face darkened, and he pushed the door open abruptly, only to see Lin Tingyue plop down on his desk, holding the student ID in her hand. His already depressed mood worsened, and a flame of anger rose from the bottom of his heart. He immediately shouted angrily, "What are you shouting about?"
Lin Tingyue waved her student ID card, her large eyes sparkling like diamonds, and stammered excitedly, "Brother, brother—"
Lin Tingfeng was even angrier. How dare she rummage through his drawers without his permission?!
She has no manners at all; she's nothing like the sister he watched grow up.
Lin Tingfeng's face turned ashen. He strode over to Lin Tingyue, grabbed her, and yanked her off his desk as if she weren't his young and beautiful sister, but a lifeless doll. He glared at her and said angrily, "From now on, you're not allowed in my office without my permission!"
His forehead and the back of his hands were bulging with veins from anger.
He viciously ripped the student ID from her hand, carefully placed it in his own palm, his handsome face as black as the bottom of a pot, and said, "I will notify the secretariat."
Lin Tingyue wasn't angry at all. She was used to her brother treating her badly. This blockage had existed for many years and couldn't be melted in a short time. Although she racked her brains, she couldn't figure out why.
What she's trying to do now is repair their relationship and melt the ice. They were very close as siblings when they were little, inseparable. Her brother would carry her, stand up for her, fight for her, help her with her homework, and attend parent-teacher conferences for her. He was the best brother in the world—but then something happened, and he became unkind to her. Lin Tingyue didn't understand why, and she wanted to find the answer.
In addition, she knew that her older brother had always been lonely and that he and his sister-in-law did not get along well. So, the naive Lin Tingyue thought that if she could help her older brother find a woman who was worthy of his love and who loved him, then her older brother would look at her differently, and the relationship between the siblings could be improved.
This is also why Lin Tingyue saw the smart and beautiful Ye Wenyu on the plane, and as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, she took the initiative to strike up a conversation with someone for the first time in her life. Later, like a man trying to pick up girls, she found Ye Wenyu's mobile phone number through the airline and took the initiative to call her to invite her to the Lin family banquet.
Lin Tingfeng carefully placed the thin student ID card in his palm.
Thankfully, the forceful tugging in my anger prevented it from being damaged, but the photo on the student ID was a bit wrinkled, which made me feel a pang of heartache and fueled my anger towards my sister.
Lin Tingyue was completely bewildered by her brother's sudden outburst. Her eyes widened in shock, almost popping out of their sockets. She thought to herself, "The world is so small! I've discovered Ye Wenyu again!" Could this woman be destined to be with the Lin family and her brother? Still feigning surprise, like a startled rabbit, she suddenly darted in front of Lin Tingfeng, her almond-shaped eyes wide, stammering, "Brother, it's her! It's her!" Her expression and actions were like those of a madwoman.
Lin Tingfeng was completely baffled. Seeing his sister's extremely shocked expression, he remained angry, clutching his student ID tightly in his hand, and said angrily to Lin Tingyue, "Go back to your school. You're not welcome here!"
He thought she was becoming less and less lovable as she grew older; besides a pretty exterior, her mind was completely empty.
Even if she recharges her IQ every day, it probably won't be enough. He was already furious, but she was still making him angry.
Indeed, when he was a child, he doted on his beautiful little sister, who was as pretty as a doll. Although she was slow-witted from a young age and, even at eight years old, could not distinguish between three and seven, nor did she know that seven plus eight equals fifteen, he still spoiled her like a princess. He took her to buy snacks, tutored her in her studies, and always took the blame for her when her father scolded her.
But later, he discovered the truth!
The father was very angry, and he was also very angry. Gradually, he became estranged from his younger sister. Once they became estranged, it was impossible to return to the intimacy they had in their childhood. Although his silly younger sister did not know the reason, she naively thought that as long as she frequently visited his company, talked to him, and gave him various gifts, they could go back to the past and return to their childhood.
It's impossible—
