Chapter 200: Is Mom Great? Mom is Not as Good as My Brothers
"How did Lu Shiman manage to arrange all the people you need to meet in a week into one day?" Lu Yannan asked his doubts directly.
Ji Lin chuckled softly, "Did her year-end summary come under the guidance of my brother?"
"I changed it."
"I can tell at a glance that the content is not of her level." Ji Lin flattered Lu Yannan without making a sound.
"Mr. Ji, please leave it in a private account. I will return the salary you gave her to you tomorrow." Lu Yannan said with a smile: "I feel embarrassed for her for receiving this salary."
"Brother, you're joking. She also helped..." Ji Linshen paused, and finally went against his conscience: "A lot of help."
Lu Yannan chuckled briefly from the receiver: "How did she help you arrange the people you meet once a week into your workday?"
"From seven in the morning to seven the next morning, I see one person every two hours on average." Ji Linshen smiled and said, "If you are interested, I will send it to you later."
Lu Yannan: “…”
"Oh, by the way, brother, you were scheduled for 5 a.m. that time."
Lu Yannan: “???”
Good sister, she is really his good sister. Lu Yannan suddenly became very curious about how she arranged her schedule, so he asked Ji Linshen to send him her itinerary.
Ji Linshen agreed readily, hung up the phone and immediately sent the itinerary to Lu Yannan.
When he opened the itinerary, Lu Yannan's reaction was the same as Ji Linshen's reaction when he first saw him. His eyes went dark again and again.
Seeing that some elderly men over 60 were scheduled to work between 2 and 4 in the morning, his eyes twitched unconsciously.
After I saw that I was scheduled to be there at five in the morning, it was dark and there was no light at all.
Good sister, really a good sister, she was afraid that her brother would die unhappy.
Lu Shiman successfully drank the milk tea that Chu Qi had invited him to. He sat cross-legged on the sofa and discussed a hot spring trip for the weekend with Qin Jiaojiao.
Lu Jianheng sent a message and sent the address of Wang Jiangang’s birthday party at the weekend.
Only then did she remember that she had promised Brother Feather to attend his son's birthday party.
For Libra, best friends and lovers are the most important.
I chose to leave Brother Feather behind and go take a hot spring bath.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, Lu Shiman found Xie Yi's profile picture.
Lu Shiman: [Transfer 2222 yuan]
Lu Shiman: [Brother Feather, give your child a little gift and buy him something he likes.]
She thought about it, transferred another 22,222 yuan, and sent a message.
Lu Shiman: [Wang Jiangang's gift. It's your child's birthday, your hardship day. This money is a token of my appreciation. Buy something you like.]
Xie Yi automatically ignored her messy and incomprehensible words.
Xie Yi: [Oh my god, sister, you actually took the initiative to contact me, Fifth Brother, and even transferred money to me. You are really too good to me.]
After posting it, Xie Yi immediately changed his name to Xie Yi (Lu Shiman's fifth brother version) and sent a screenshot to Lu Jianheng to show off.
Feeling that it was not enough, he sent messages to the other three members of the Lu family to show off.
Night falls, neon lights appear.
Lu Shiman nestled in Ji Linshen's arms, playing with his fingers while watching the video Qin Jiaojiao shared with her.
Chu Qi sat in the passenger seat, frowning as he looked at the black and red traffic jam on the navigation.
Ji Lin leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and took a nap.
The phone suddenly vibrated, and Lu Shiman was stunned when he saw the incoming call.
This was the first call she received since she arrived here.
The caller ID 'Mom' kept flashing on the screen.
It was saved by the original owner. Lu Shiman had looked through the call records a long time ago, and the last call from his mother was three years ago.
The last call was made a year and a half ago. I called him proactively and it lasted 2 minutes and 13 seconds. The duration bar looked like a scabbed wound.
Taking a deep breath, she picked up the phone, the word "mom" rolling in her throat, but she couldn't say it out.
Mother Lu's voice was cold and filled with resentment: "Your father and I will be home soon. Go back and wait. I have something to tell you."
When the commanding and emotionless words reached Lu Shiman's ears, the speed at which his heart pumped blood seemed to slow down.
She didn't say anything and didn't know what to say. She should be the closest person to her, but Lu Shiman felt that he was more difficult to deal with than a stranger.
"Did you hear that?" The voice rose a few notches, and there was obvious impatience in Lu's mother's tone.
Lu Shiman bit her lip and said, "You don't have the final say. I'll go back only if my elder brother tells me to."
"Lu Shiman, I'm your mother!"
"What's wrong with Mom? Am I so great? I'm not as good as my brothers." Lu Shiman's voice was not loud, but it reached Lu's mother's ears clearly.
"You've really been led astray by those two brats, the second and third brothers. Look at you now..."
Ji Linshen felt the trembling arc of her body, opened his eyes, snatched her phone, and pressed the hang-up button heavily with his thumb: "If you don't want to listen, don't listen. Don't embarrass yourself."
The female voice of the navigation machine suddenly rang out: "The traffic ahead is congested for 2.1 kilometers."
Lu Shiman pursed her lips, put her arms around Ji Linshen's waist, pressed her face against his chest, and her breath was filled with his scent.
The warmth of Ji Linshen's palm seeped through the fabric and stroked her tense spine inch by inch, like ironing wrinkled silk.
"You don't have to put yourself in a difficult position because of anyone, okay?"
"Let's go home." She spoke after a long while.
Ji Lin lowered his eyes, his eyelashes casting a shadow on Lu Shiman's hair, and his fingertips unconsciously stroked her lower back.
The breath that escaped from his throat was wrapped in warmth: "You don't have to listen to words that make you unhappy, and you don't have to do things that make you unhappy."
She knew what Ji Linshen meant, but she had to go back, not because of her mother's words.
But because of my brothers.
Lu Shiman didn't want her brothers to face this storm that was obviously coming towards her.
Her brothers didn't owe her anything, and there was no reason for her to hide behind the walls they had built for themselves and then watch them get hurt by the people closest to them.
She can't do it.
"I want to go back. I don't want my brother and the others to suffer because of me..." She didn't finish her words, but Ji Lin knew what she meant.
Ji Linshen knocked on the car window with his fingers, and the driver immediately changed direction.
The car stopped at the door of Lu's villa, and Lu Shiman refused Ji Linshen's request to accompany her.
"I can't bear to call you an idiot, how can I let you follow me in and get scolded." Holding Ji Linshen's neck, Lu Shiman kissed him on the lips: "Go back, I probably won't go home tonight."
"Yeah." Ji Linshen responded lightly, watching Lu Shiman get out of the car, and only withdrew his gaze until her figure disappeared in the villa.
"Master?"
"Wait."
A car appeared at the end of the driveway, and Ji Linshen suddenly rolled down the window half a finger wide.
Three people got out of the car, a middle-aged couple and Lin Yanxin.
Ji Linshen fixed his gaze on the car, his eyes seemed to be tempered by snow.
"Chu Qi, check all the information about Lu's parents." The voice was so cold that it made people feel cold.
