Chapter 293 His Difficulties (3)
Looking into Tian Xin's eyes, Lin Zhou's emotions were extremely complicated. Her stubbornness, uneasiness, and fear were all conveyed to him through her eyes at this moment.
He was very afraid of seeing such a look. It had appeared once before when Zhang Shuai was in a car accident. After that, he secretly told himself that he would never let her suffer any embarrassment or harm again.
So all along, the two people have loved each other in a simple and pure way, and never interfered with each other too much.
He thought that if he just did a little more and hid it a little better, everything would get better and better in the direction he hoped for. They would be together for a long time.
But today's incident was too sudden and unexpected for him. Liang Xiao's appearance ruined all his plans and also broke the peace between them.
If he doesn't tell her anything, then, given Tian Xin's personality, what will she do?
She cared about everything about him so much that she told him more than once: You can't be backward compatible, and you can't give up your career and life because of her.
But if I told her everything, would their relationship continue? Would she let go of him just because of this? Or worse, would she cut off all contact like before, avoiding him and leaving him alone to endure the pain of missing her.
At this moment, Lin Zhou's face was full of hesitation and struggle.
He doesn't dare to gamble!
But facing Tian Xin's question, he had to give her a reasonable explanation.
So, hesitate again and again.
He looked at Li Jing for help: "Send Liang Xiao out first, I want to talk to Tian Xin alone!"
Li Jing glanced at him, understood what he meant, and said nothing. She walked straight over to pull Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao didn't want to leave, so she shook off her outstretched hand and screamed, "I'm not leaving, Lin Zhou, unless you agree to my dad's conditions and break up with her. Otherwise, I won't leave no matter what I say today."
"Let's go! My aunt, please stop talking!" Li Jing grabbed Liang Xiao's wrist, forcibly pulled her up from the sofa, and dragged her all the way to the terrace door.
"Don't pull me, I won't leave... I haven't finished talking yet? Don't touch me!"
"Is it up to you whether you leave or not? Come out with me now and stop causing trouble here!"
The glass door closed with a "click" and the terrace became quiet again!
When the remaining few people saw this situation, they felt it was not a good idea to stay any longer and asked to leave.
"Boss, I'll be waiting for you downstairs. Call me when you're done and we can go back together..."
"Then I'll go back first. You two should talk it out nicely and don't get angry. Call me if there's anything!" Gao Cheng said.
"I'll wait for you in the office!" said Lin Hai.
"Everyone sit down!"
Lin Zhou shouted, then turned his head to look at a few people, and signaled with his eyes that everyone should sit down.
"I called you here today because I wanted to take this opportunity to do you some good things. I didn't expect you to make a fool of yourself instead."
He walked over and pushed Tian Xin to sit on the sofa. He picked up the teapot and added tea to the teapot while saying:
"Well, you guys are not outsiders anyway, so just be embarrassed! I'm just telling you the truth!"
He walked over to Tian Xin and sat down, his eyes once again showing the gentleness and calmness of the past. He smiled and said to her: "Since you want to know, I won't hide it from you. But you have to promise me,"
He reached behind Tian Xin and held her hand again, interlocking their fingers: "No matter what I say later, you can't break up with me, and you can't hide from me, okay?"
"So, what happened?"
"Just promise me first, okay?"
“…”
Seeing him frowning, yet still begging her gently, Tian Xin's heart softened completely. Without hesitation, she also softly replied to him: "Okay!"
Hearing this "OK", Lin Zhou felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his attention back to his friends and slowly spoke.
"I've definitely run into some minor trouble lately, but it's nothing serious. Lin Hai knows about my old man, and he's been trying to get me to go back and manage the family business for him. When I refused, he hired people to sabotage my cooperation with clients, either overtly or covertly, hoping to make me lose my job and return to him in disgrace."
"It's just that for over a year now, I've been on high alert and haven't let him succeed! So, this problem has remained until now. It was only in these few days that he took advantage of the opportunity!"
"So, when your uncle came here just now, did he want you to go back? What happened in your company?" Tian Xin frowned and asked him anxiously.
Before Lin Zhou could answer, Lin Hai followed up with another question: "How much did the company lose? Hasn't Li Lei been managing the company all this time? How could something like this happen?"
"It's not that much of a loss. Don't listen to Liang Xiao's nonsense!" Lin Zhou said, "My dad just wants to force me to go back, so he deliberately picks a fight with Li Lei. He wants to force him away first, leaving me with nothing to worry about. When I can't stand it anymore, he'll come out and negotiate with me."
"So, this is the situation now, huh? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought..."
"No, don't think about it. I'm not that useless!"
Lin Zhou turned around, smiled and touched Tian Xin's hair to soothe her anxiety.
"Don't listen to Liang Xiao's nonsense. I called everyone here today to resolve this matter. It's just that she interfered and made you all nervous for a moment. It's actually not a big deal. I can handle it! Don't worry!"
"What's the problem if it's not a big problem?" Tian Xin dodged to the side, avoiding Lin Zhou's hand: "How many things have you been hiding from me? If this website is making things so difficult for you, why didn't you tell me earlier? Why did you have to stay here and stubbornly insist on it? And Liang Xiao, what did she mean by what she just said? What conditions did his father ask you to agree to? Is there anything else between you two..."
"Oh, that's enough, stop talking so much."
Lin Hai said impatiently, "We'll talk about your business later. Let's listen to Lin Zhou first. How do you want to solve the company's problems? What do you need me to do for you? Money or people? And what did you just say? What's the current situation of the website's operation? You want us all to join in. What are your plans? Stop hiding it and tell us all at once!"
These questions hit the core and touched upon the key issues. They all understood that Lin Zhou had been evasive because he didn't want to involve them and see him in such a mess.
But since Lin Hai had asked, they had no choice but to face the problem head-on. Even if Lin Zhou didn't want to talk about it, as friends, they had to help him through this difficult time.
