Chapter 56: Let Me Say It First
Shen Xinji calmed down a bit when he heard Han Jingyi say he wanted to find his wife.
It's not that he loves her that much, he's just afraid.
His finances are controlled by his mother. If his mother knew that he came to see Lin Xu again, he would be finished.
But Shen Xinji really couldn't sit still anymore.
He thought Lin Xu would be single for a while, and he didn't even take Han Jingyi seriously.
I didn't expect Zhou Yan to appear out of nowhere and get together with Lin Xu so soon.
If he doesn't show up again, Lin Xu will really have nothing to do with him anymore.
Seeing that his emotions were no longer so impulsive, Han Jingyi controlled him and said to Lin Xu, "Go quickly, leave this to me."
Lin Xu was in a dilemma.
On one side was Zhou Yan, who was waiting for him to pick him up.
On one side was Shen Xinji who came to cause trouble.
If he really walked away and left the matter to Han Jingyi, he would not be at ease if Shen Xinji acted impulsively and caused something to happen to Han Jingyi, who had nothing to do with the matter.
Moreover, judging from the way Shen Xinji usually does things, if the problem is not resolved properly, he will continue to make trouble and will eventually end up in front of Zhou Yan.
He must not let Zhou Yan know about his situation until he is sure that Zhou Yan will not dislike him.
Lin Xu hesitated for a moment, but instead of leaving, he turned back.
He pointed his phone at Shen Xinji and clicked on the video: "Shen Xinji, I, Lin Xu, have nothing to do with you anymore. If you are a man, go home and live your life. We will not interfere with each other. Otherwise, if you harass me again, I will send this video to your mother. Anyway, I am not afraid of those who wear shoes when I am barefoot, you can try it."
Shen Xinji's eyes turned red as he waited for Lin Xu: "I know you are angry with me. I said I am willing to compensate you. But you also know my situation. If I want to compensate you, I have to have something to compensate you. My mother has the final say in my family. If I don't get married, she will cut off my source of income. How can I be with you?"
"Xuxu, just listen. We can't get married anyway, so what difference does it make who I marry? As long as my mother is satisfied and I'm financially independent, I can support you like before. Why are you so stubborn?"
"Don't you feel disgusted when you say that?" Han Jingyi couldn't stand it any longer and grabbed his neck to stop him from speaking.
Lin Xu rubbed his hair, wondering if he was sick for actually falling for such a person.
"Chen Xinji, wake up. I can't be with you anymore. It has nothing to do with anyone else. It's simply because you're disgusting. Leave your rhetoric to those who are willing. I don't want it. Get as far away from me as you can from now on. If I see you once, I will send this video to your mother. I mean what I say."
Lin Xu put away his phone and signaled Han Jingyi to let him go.
Although Han Jingyi was a little worried, he still did it.
Shen Xinji had concerns after all and did not act impulsively again.
"Lin Xu, you can do it. You are cruel and heartless enough. But I won't give up just like that and watch you live with someone else."
Shen Xinji uttered some harsh words, glanced at Han Jingyi again, got in the car and left.
After Shen Xinji's car disappeared in the parking lot, Han Jingyi said to the colleagues who had been watching, "I don't need to say anything, you should have understood what happened. But I have one request. This matter should only be known to those present. Don't spread it outside, and don't gossip. If I hear anyone outside discussing Lin Xu's private affairs, I will definitely find out who this person is."
Teng Qiu said first: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Others also said that they would not tell anyone about this.
They all understood that Lin Xu did nothing wrong today. It was just a matter of orientation, which was nothing new nowadays.
Although Lin Xu has only been working for a month, everyone has a good impression of him.
Han Jingyi knew that this matter would be revealed sooner or later, and the desire to share and explore among the onlookers were extremely difficult to control.
But he also wanted to warn others by making clear the ugly truth in advance.
Lin Xu apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry. My personal affairs have caused trouble for everyone and made everyone laugh. I'm really sorry."
"Hey, why are you apologizing? It was clearly that scumbag's fault. He did such a disgusting thing and yet he had the nerve to come back to you. You should just ignore him. You did a great job just now." Teng Qiu patted Lin Xu's shoulder to encourage him.
"Yeah, it's not your fault. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone. We'll be leaving first."
No matter what these people really think in their hearts, at least on the surface they have chosen to maintain the current peace.
Besides, since Han Jingyi has spoken, no one will say anything more.
"goodbye."
"goodbye."
Several colleagues said goodbye to each other and left.
Only Lin Xu and Han Jingyi were left.
"Thank you today." Lin Xu said.
"I didn't expect he had the nerve to come back to you. But I'm quite satisfied with your reaction today. You're much more mature than you were a few months ago." Han Jingyi couldn't help but praise.
A few months ago, Lin Xu broke up with Shen Xinji, and she was like a child who knew nothing and allowed others to bully her. But now she has matured enough to handle Shen Xinji's entanglement on her own.
Lin Xu smiled helplessly: "Every failure makes you wiser."
As the two were talking, Lin Xu's cell phone rang.
Lin Xu then remembered that he had not told Zhou Yan yet.
"Brother, I'm sorry. I was delayed by something at the company. I haven't left yet and may not be able to make it." Lin Xu walked aside with his mobile phone and apologized to Zhou Yan.
"Haven't you finished your work yet? How long will it take? Don't worry, I'll take a taxi back." Zhou Yan comforted him softly.
Lin Xu had been very calm just now, but after hearing Zhou Yan's low and pleasant voice, he instantly felt aggrieved.
Lin Xu looked up, holding back tears, and said, "It's over. Even if I rush over, you'll have to wait a long time."
"Well, I'll take a taxi back. You can go straight home so I can see you earlier."
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Lin Xu wiped away tears.
He is not usually a crybaby, but with so many things happening at the same time and because he has someone to rely on, his emotions are a little out of control.
Zhou Yan heard something was wrong with his voice and asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
Lin Xu took a deep breath, adjusted his tone and said cheerfully, "It's okay, I might be a little tired from working overtime. I'm going to drive now. See you at home."
Lin Xu hung up the phone, but Han Jingyi hadn't left yet.
"I was wondering why you were so anxious. It turns out that Zhou Yan is really coming back today." Han Jingyi said with his arms folded.
"Yes, he's coming back today, so I'm leaving first. See you on Monday." Lin Xu got in the car and left the parking lot.
It was impossible for Lin Xu to say that he didn't feel uncomfortable.
If you break up, you break up. Who hasn’t missed out on love?
But couldn't he just pretend to be dead after breaking up? Why did he have to come over and disgust me again?
We didn't even have any thoughts for each other, and it made me seem so stupid back then.
Lin Xu stopped the car on the side of the road twice to calm down before daring to go home.
