Chapter 27 Complex
Lin Zhixian thought about it and shook his head: "Nothing, it's not a big deal."
Xiao Jing did not ask any further questions and said, "I heard you were in the newspaper? Congratulations."
Lin Zhixian smiled and said, "It's just a tabloid."
Da Zui Wei laughed and said, "First in the tabloids, then in the broadsheets."
"Thank you for your kind words." Lin Zhixian said with a smile, "I am also looking forward to being in the big newspapers."
"If the matter with that beautiful girl gets out, you might be on the big newspapers." Yaca Su said with a smile.
"Forget it." Lin Zhixian said, "After all, it's someone else's pain, why bring it up in public for people to discuss?"
Xiao Jing glanced at her and said, "Ms. Lin is kind-hearted."
"I can't say I'm kindhearted." Lin Zhixian said with a smile, "Okay, I'm going back now. I won't disturb you guys from eating. Goodbye."
Lin Zhixian got up and left.
Lin Zhixian turned around and glanced at Cen Xueqi first. The other party still looked dazed and obviously had not recovered yet. Lin Zhixian ignored her and walked to the desk beside him, turned on the light and planned to record the experience of reading Cen Xueqi's fortune.
These are all valuable learning materials, not to mention that Cen Xueqi is right in front of her, so she can study them carefully and repeatedly.
Perhaps noticing Lin Zhixian's frequent glances, Cen Xueqi finally came back to her senses and looked at Lin Zhixian: "What's the matter?"
"No." Lin Zhixian shook her head, but she glanced at the time: "But it's almost nine o'clock now, you should go home, otherwise it's not safe on the road."
"Is it almost nine o'clock?" Cen Xueqi obviously didn't expect time to pass so quickly. She turned her head to look at the street outside. There were indeed fewer pedestrians than before, but it was still there. It was not too late to go home at this time. It would be really unsafe if she went any later.
"Yes, it's time to go back." Cen Xueqi murmured, "Then I'll take my leave."
Cen Xueqi picked up her bag, stood up and walked out.
Lin Zhixian escorted her out: "Ms. Cen, are you planning to go home?"
"Yeah." Cen Xueqi responded, "Where else can I go if I don't go home?"
"I suggest that Miss Cen should go back to her parents' home or stay in a hotel for one night." Lin Zhixian said.
"Huh?" Cen Xueqi was stunned.
Lin Zhixian smiled and said, "Jiang Lin should have the key to Miss Cen's house, right? If Jiang Lin sends Miss Cen a message for help tonight, but Miss Cen doesn't go, they might go directly to your house. Then they can open the door with the key and you will be alone at home with no one to turn to. Isn't that dangerous?"
Cen Xueqi obviously hadn't expected this, her face immediately turned pale: "You're right, I can't go home."
Cen Xueqi looked at Lin Zhixian gratefully: "Thank you, Miss Lin. If you hadn't reminded me, I probably wouldn't have thought of this at all and would have definitely returned home to live. I'm afraid that by then, a tragedy might really happen."
Lin Zhixian smiled and said, "Miss Cen, you are too modest. Miss Cen is not a stupid person. She just treats Jiang Lin as her own sister. She was confused for a moment and didn't think about it. She will definitely think of it when she calms down."
Cen Xueqi smiled and was about to speak when her pager rang.
Cen Xueqi's expression changed slightly, and she held her bag in her hand, trembling slightly but not opening it.
Lin Zhixian glanced at her and said, "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. You can tell at a glance whether it's what you think it is. You have to face reality, right?"
Cen Xueqi suddenly relaxed: "You are right, what is coming will eventually come, and what needs to be faced must be faced."
Cen Xueqi took out the pager and it was a strange number.
Lin Zhixian said, "There is a phone in the store, you can use it at will."
"Thank you." Cen Xueqi picked up the phone and dialed, "Excuse me, has this number left me a message?"
A sweet female voice came from the microphone: "Hello, Jiang Lin said that she was forcibly taken away by Zhang Weida. Please go to xx to rescue her."
Cen Xueqi hung up the phone and turned to look at Lin Zhixian: "You were right. It was Jiang Lin who called me. She said that Zhang Weida had forcibly taken her away and asked me to rescue her. That address is definitely not where Zhang Weida usually lives."
Cen Xueqi was angry and sad: "I have been so sincere to Jiang Lin for so many years, but I didn't expect this to be the result."
Lin Zhixian said: "Let's just take it as a lesson learned."
"You're right." Cen Xueqi smiled and said, "Just think of it as a lesson learned."
"Ms. Lin, you are a really nice person. It would have been great if the person I met back then was you." Cen Xueqi said with a smile.
Lin Zhixian thought, if you met me back then, it wasn’t me.
I just arrived too.
"If we are destined to become friends, it will be the same no matter when we meet." Lin Zhixian said with a smile.
"You're right." Cen Xueqi smiled and said, "Then I'm determined to make you my friend."
"It's an honor." Lin Zhixian said with a smile.
"I'll go first." Cen Xueqi came out.
"Be careful on the road." Lin Zhixian saw Cen Xueqi out.
"Thank you." Cen Xueqi hailed a taxi and waved to Lin Zhixian as she got in. "Goodbye."
Lin Zhixian also waved at her. "I've memorized the license plate number. Call me when you get there to let me know you're safe."
Cen Xueqi was startled when she heard this, but she quickly understood and smiled more sincerely: "Okay."
Lin Zhixian stood at the door of the store and watched Cen Xueqi's car leave.
Cen Xueqi saw it in the rearview mirror, and looked back, feeling even more complicated.
Jiang Lin, whom she had taken care of for many years as if she were her own sister, was trying to kill her because of a man, while a girl she met for the first time, worried that she might be in danger on the road, deliberately lied to the driver to keep her safe. How could people be so different?
Cen Xueqi couldn't help but think of the past with Jiang Lin. She had been blinded by the so-called sisterhood in the past, and no matter what Jiang Lin did, it was normal in her eyes. But now that she was clear-headed, looking back on the past, she could easily find that, except for the time when the two of them first knew each other and dated, Jiang Lin was attentive to her. After she truly regarded Jiang Lin as her own sister, Jiang Lin began to test her, ignoring and neglecting her a little at first, and when she saw that she didn't respond, she began to make advances. Later, she completely ignored her, and instead she was the one who tolerated and retreated and accommodated her everywhere.
If she wanted Jiang Lin to be as attentive and considerate to her as before, it was either because she was really angry or because she wanted to get something from her.
So Jiang Lin has never been sincere towards me, only calculating.
I hate that I was so blind at that time that I never saw her clearly.
But Jiang Lin, have I been asking for everything from you for so long that you really think I'm a sick cat?
I, Cen Xueqi, have always been the kind of person who has been bullied and has always endured it in silence.
If you dare to plot against me, you must be prepared to pay the price!
