Chapter 19 I Will Be Your Uncle
"Ah? Should I have any impression of you?" Lin Xu really didn't remember having met Han Jingyi before.
Lin Xu's reaction was completely unexpected.
Han Jingyi curled his lips: "Of course you don't remember, you were busy dating Shen Xinji at that time, how could you remember who was standing in front of you?"
Lin Xu choked: "Are you his friend?"
Han Jingyi snorted coldly: "It was before, but not now."
"Oh." Lin Xu was actually not very interested in knowing what was going on with them.
A bunch of playboys, just drinking buddies.
In the past, Lin Xu envied their life, full of feasting and revelry.
That's why Lin Xu lost himself for a while after Shen Xinji brought him into that circle.
But now, Lin Xu has woken up.
He was out of tune with that circle and wasn't really happy.
In the past half month, he has really been happy.
Even when Han Jingyi mentioned Shen Xinji, he felt no emotion.
Han Jingyi saw Lin Xu's cold attitude and sneered: "If I say that I broke up with him because of you, would you believe it?"
"Why do you always ask me if I believe it or not? If I don't believe it, you won't tell me." Lin Xu raised his eyebrows.
Han Jingyi lay in bed, furious, saying, "How can you treat a patient like this? I'm suffering physically, and you're torturing me mentally."
"I don't mean to torture you here. You brought up the topic yourself." Lin Xu muttered softly.
"What?"
"It's okay." Lin Xu felt that what he said made sense. After all, he was a patient, so he reluctantly cooperated with him and asked, "Why did they break up because of me?"
"What do you think? He got married suddenly without even giving you an explanation. Can you be friends with someone like that?"
"It's not like I didn't explain. He wanted to compensate me with 200,000 yuan as a breakup fee, but I refused." Lin Xu was just being realistic.
It hadn't been long since he and Shen Xinji broke up, but it felt like they were already talking about something from their previous life.
If Han Jingyi hadn't reminded him today, Lin Xu himself wouldn't have realized that he hadn't thought about Shen Xinji for a long time.
"Isn't that why you lose your mind when you're in love? His mother has completely shut down his finances. Where did he get the 200,000 yuan for you? That money is mine, and I want him to give it to you."
Lin Xu had never thought about this before, and asked with wide eyes, "Why are you giving me money?"
"You were unemployed, heartbroken, and kicked out by your mom, so you had to live in a friend's dorm. I was worried you'd be upset. Who knew you, such a fool, wouldn't take the money?"
"I'm so pissed off at you. Even at this point, you're still worried about the scumbag's money. You're being aloof, but he won't change his mind just because you're aloof. Later, I got angry and stopped paying attention to you. Who knew you'd walk into this trap?"
Han Jingyi recounted his mental journey, and Lin Xu roughly understood what had happened.
"Are you just sitting around? Did I ask you to give me money? I thought this money was the perfect ending for us, but it turns out you were the one who messed with it all. Are you still angry? Dating is consensual, and breaking up is breaking up. If I take the breakup fee, doesn't that make me a kept woman? Who of us is stupid?"
Han Jingyi felt a little aggrieved for being scolded despite feeling that he meant well, so he decided to talk everything out today.
"You didn't actually want to be supported by him back then, right? You started looking for a job before you even graduated, and you also applied to Qingying Yijing, right?"
"How do you know?" Lin Xu suddenly had a bad feeling.
Han Jingyi casually revealed Lin Xu's past that he didn't know.
"It was Shen Xinji who didn't want you to work, so he came to me for help. At that time, I saw that you two had a good relationship, so I agreed to his wish."
Han Jingyi also felt guilty about this matter, so the 200,000 yuan was a way to make up for his inner guilt.
But the more Lin Xu listened, the angrier he got, and he flew into a rage.
"So it's not that I didn't get the interview, but that you manipulated it behind the scenes?!"
"Yes, Qingying has always been very influential in the industry. You were almost soft-banned by the industry at that time. No one dared to use you... That's why I was so angry when Shen Xinji broke up with you. He vowed that he would -"
"I'll be your uncle!" Lin Xu stood up from the chair.
"You still have the nerve to call me stupid?! I was so discouraged when I submitted my resume that I was rejected everywhere. I thought it was just bad luck and my talent was not being recognized. But Shen Xinji was so patient and comforted me at that time, and took me around, so I gave up looking for a job. It turns out it was all your fault!"
Han Jingyi didn't expect Lin Xu to be so angry. He forced himself to sit up and said, "I'm sorry, but I really wanted to make it up to you later."
"Bullshit! I really have nothing to say to you, a bunch of ignorant young masters. If you weren't lying here right now, I would definitely beat you up!"
"Let me ask you one thing. Did you really apply for this position because of my abilities, or because you feel guilty about me?"
Han Jingyi quickly stated: "Of course it's your ability."
"Okay, don't do anything weird to me again. I'll go to work as normal, and you'll go to work as normal. The rest of the time, we'll just pretend we don't know each other."
After Lin Xu finished speaking, he left the ward angrily without caring whether Han Jingyi's assistant came or not.
hotel.
Zhou Yan has already drunk a pound of white wine with his clients.
Today's wine was chosen by the customer. It's expensive, but not very tasty and very intoxicating.
Zhou Yan took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and get some fresh air outside.
He stood at the end of the corridor and lit a cigarette, using the lighter that Lin Xu had given him.
Zhou Yan exhaled a puff of smoke and rubbed the delicate shell of the lighter with his thumb, as if Lin Xu's smile appeared in the smoke.
I don’t know if this child has eaten at home alone, and what he is doing now?
Is he watering the plants on the balcony that he can't even name, or is he sitting on the living room floor watching videos on his computer?
Zhou Yan, who had always found it troublesome to even raise potted flowers, suddenly began to understand the fun that his colleagues at the company who had pets enjoyed watching the surveillance cameras at home when they had nothing to do.
It's quite fun.
The lighter flickered on and off, the flame jumping over and over again.
On one side there is debauchery and intrigue.
On one end is a clean and warm breeze, carrying the fragrance of earth.
After smoking a cigarette, Zhou Yan returned to the box and ended the dinner as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, if he came home any later, all he would see was a quiet living room and a closed bedroom door.
He wanted to see Lin Xu's bright smile and say to him with a smile, "Brother, you're back."
But unexpectedly, when I opened the door, the expected scenes did not appear.
The smell of alcohol hit me.
Lin Xu was sitting on the floor, with empty wine bottles around him and on the coffee table. He was holding a bottle and drinking from it.
Zhou Yan quickly changed his shoes and strode over, snatching the bottle of wine from Lin Xu's hand.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you drink so much?"
Lin Xu was obviously drunk, his cheeks were red, and his misty eyes turned to Zhou Yan, looking at him expressionlessly for a few seconds.
Suddenly he smiled: "Brother, you are back."
Although the smile was pure and innocent, Zhou Yan sensed a hint of sadness.
If Lin Xu hadn't encountered something unhappy, he would never have drunk alone.
Zhou Yan touched Lin Xu's forehead and said softly, "Don't drink anymore. Isn't it uncomfortable to drink so much? What happened? Tell me."
Lin Xu's eyes couldn't be taken away from Zhou Yan. He kept watching him until he sat next to her. Suddenly, like a wronged child who saw an adult who supported him, tears fell down her face.
"Wow—that's too much of a bully—"
