Chapter 32 Love to Eat Vinegar
Gu Qingheng once again asked Lin Xi to have dinner with him.
This time, two people ate hot pot.
Eating with her, my appetite is very good and the food tastes better.
Lin Xi was born and raised in northern Beijing, but Gu Qingheng was not.
His maternal grandfather was a wealthy businessman in Haicheng, and he grew up with his grandparents.
Lin Xi ate it with sesame sauce, and Gu Qingheng ate it with oil sauce.
The two of them ate and chatted. Gu Qingheng was good at listening, and Lin Xi was good at expressing herself.
Even though they are two completely different people, they complement each other.
He would considerately help her peel the shrimp, and she would be understanding and not force him to try the sesame sauce.
When it was time to pay the bill, Lin Xi suggested, "Let's split the bill."
They always eat together, and he always pays the bill, which makes Lin Xi feel like she is just eating for free.
Obviously, she didn't care about the meal money, and she didn't want to take advantage of the other party.
"It's up to you."
The meal cost eight hundred yuan, four hundred yuan per person.
It was still early, so Lin Xi accompanied Gu Qingheng to smoke a cigarette in front of the hot pot restaurant.
In just the time it took to smoke a cigarette, Lin Xi met Su Wan.
Su Wan was incredulous but secretly delighted, "Mrs. Shen, it really is you."
"Do we know each other?"
"Why don't I know you? I'm Ah Yan's friend. We've met before."
"How come I didn't know that Chen Yan had a friend like you?" Lin Xi looked coldly.
"It's okay, Mrs. Shen will recognize me this time. Who is this person next to Mrs. Shen?"
Gu Qingheng didn't say anything, but looked at Lin Xi with a smile.
Lin Xi was too lazy to pay attention.
I feel annoyed when I see Su Wan.
Gu Qingheng extinguished the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the trash can.
"Director Lin, it's getting late. We should leave."
They turned and left. Su Wan calmly took out his cell phone and recorded a video.
Both of them came by car, so they drove their own cars back to their respective companies.
Late at night, Lin Xi deliberately came home late.
Shouted: "Wang Ma."
Wang Ma came out of the kitchen and asked, "What's wrong, Madam?"
"Is the gentleman back?"
"Oh, the master is at home."
"When did you come back?"
"Ma'am, an hour ago."
Lin Xi looked towards the second floor and muttered to herself, "Something must be wrong when it's out of the ordinary."
She really didn't want her husband to come home and was afraid that the situation would get out of control.
Even if Su Wan found out that he and Gu Qingheng were what Lin Xi wanted.
However, now that it has come to this, I do feel a little uneasy.
"Is the meal ready?" Lin Xi had previously sent a message to Wang Ma asking what time to prepare dinner.
"Alright, alright."
“Well, call Mr. Shen, I won’t eat anymore.”
After saying that, Lin Xi went upstairs.
Ten minutes later, Shen Yan pushed the door open and walked in. Lin Xi was changing clothes.
I was stunned at first, then felt a little shy.
I zipped up my pants in front of him.
"Why didn't you knock when you came in?"
"What is there that I can't see?" Shen Yan asked coldly.
“…”
Lin Xi was impatient: "If you have something to say, just tell me directly."
"Aren't you going to have dinner? Look at you, you've lost weight."
Chen Yan met her eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of anger in the man's deep pupils.
"Me." Lin Xi was nervous and scared.
Just by looking at each other, Lin Xi felt guilty and gave up.
"What's wrong? Have you eaten?"
"Um."
“Who did you eat with?”
Shen Yan's tone was clearly slow and measured, but Lin Xi felt it was aggressive.
"I've eaten, I've eaten. Mr. Shen, please eat alone. I can't accompany you tonight."
"oh?"
Shen Yan smiled.
He walked towards Lin Xi and helped her close the zipper which was only half closed.
"I'll help you."
Looking down at her from such a close distance, Lin Xi would really get nervous.
Chen Yan saw through it, so he stayed away like a gentleman.
Lin Xi just breathed a sigh of relief.
The next second, the man grabbed Lin Xi's wrist and turned her around.
Force them to get close.
Before Lin Xi could react, a familiar feeling came over her.
At this moment, she suddenly realized.
The back of the surveillance video,
It’s Chen Yan!
That's why he went home and asked her if she had been to the Sophie Hotel.
…
After the intense battle, the man lit a cigarette.
Lin Xi straightened her clothes and said in a hoarse voice, "So, you have always known."
"What did I say, huh? Stay away from Gu Qingheng." He was finally willing to speak frankly.
"Hahaha, you and Su Wan are both ambiguous, and you still have the nerve to ask me for something?!"
Lin Xi laughed sarcastically.
"If you want a divorce, you have to leave the house empty-handed."
Shen Yan didn't expect Lin Xi to be so determined this time.
"Kicked out? Why?"
"The only option is to sue. Do we want to sue the Shen Group?"
"So what?" Even if there is no chance of winning.
"Very courageous."
Chen Yan would really laugh at Lin Xi for overestimating his own abilities.
He threw away the remaining half of his cigarette.
Walked towards Lin Xi and picked her up.
Lin Xi tried to resist, but the strength difference between men and women was too great. At this moment, Lin Xi hated herself for weighing only 90 pounds!
When the love reached its peak, Chen Yan whispered softly in her ear: "Isn't it good for us to be together? Why do you have to love someone else?"
The answer is, Lin Xi doesn't love anyone else, but she has had enough of Chen Yan.
The next day, she woke up with soreness all over her body.
The seat next to you is empty.
I took a hot bath and put on a jet black miniskirt with a windbreaker.
Wearing new autumn high heels.
After going downstairs, I asked Wang Ma, "It's only what time, and they're already preparing lunch."
As soon as the words came out, Lin Xi suddenly realized.
Maybe it's noon now.
She slept until noon.
Maybe I was too rough last night.
"Ma'am, it's past twelve o'clock now."
"Oh... let's just give up and go to work after dinner." Lin Xi sighed.
After lunch, I went out at 1:30 pm and drove to the pharmacy.
Go back to the car and swallow a white pill with water.
The bitter taste lingered in his mouth, and Lin Xi lost consciousness again.
It wasn't until the car behind him honked its horn for the second time that Lin Xi reacted and immediately gave way to the other car.
But I don’t know why, the psychological imbalance and grievance burst out at this moment.
Holding the steering wheel with both hands, my nose felt sore.
He lowered his head and burst into tears.
She is too internalized.
She has a deep grudge against Shen Yan and Su Wan, and has always been resentful of Shen Yan for not returning home for three years and for running away from marriage.
She loved him, but hated him even more.
I arrive at the company very late, and only when I get busy do my worries temporarily fade away.
…
Su Wan had just finished her live broadcast and was sitting in the dressing room, letting the makeup artist touch up her makeup.
He was playing with his phone, sending a message to Qin Ran: "That woman must have really changed her mind. She's so shameless."
Qin Ran replied almost immediately: It’s enough that we like Brother Chen Yan.
Su Wan smiled.
Because of this movement, the makeup artist's eyeliner was applied crookedly.
Su Wan's face immediately darkened: "What are you eating?"
"Sister Su Wan, I...I." The female makeup artist was so frightened that she was incoherent.
"Heh. You don't need to come tomorrow." Su Wan looked at the makeup artist sarcastically.
Su Wan immediately transferred the money and yelled, "Get out now."
The female makeup artist left with red eyes.
Who doesn’t know these TV station staff?
Su Wan has a background.
As for who is the financial backer behind the scenes, everyone is speculating.
There are two female hosts who look down on her and always talk behind her back, saying, "She hasn't even gotten to the top yet. If she did, she'd be so proud."
Su Wan knew about these rumors, but she didn't care.
I called Chen Yan again, "I'll get off work at 8 o'clock, shall we have dinner together?"
There was a pause, and then a pleasant man's voice came, "Okay."
…
In the president's office of the Shen Group Building.
Secretary, and company executive, Manager Chen.
Manager Chen worked in finance on Wall Street in his early years, and despite being young, he is a stock market expert.
I was chatting about the project with Shen Yan and watched him hang up the phone.
Chen Keyu smiled and said, "From the sound of her voice, she's not my sister-in-law."
But Shen Yan said, "He's Lin Xi's... friend."
After saying that, Shen Yan raised his eyebrows.
Before Gu Qingheng, Chen Yan hadn't really wanted Su Wan. Now? He really had that thought, to cheat on Lin Xi.
"Oh oh oh oh. Beware of fire, theft and best friends." Chen Keyu said it in one sentence.
The secretary next to him almost laughed out loud.
Shen Yan looked over and asked, "Is it funny?"
The secretary waved his hand, meaning, it's not funny, and you can't laugh even if it's funny.
…
Su Wan deliberately chose the location where Gu Qingheng and Lin Xi had dinner.
Small mountain river.
I heard that the two of them come here often.
They went up to the third floor to eat.
The third floor is not a big deal, but it’s a huge misunderstanding.
Chen Yan stopped and Su Wan followed Chen Yan's gaze.
They walk down the hallways and there are pictures on the walls.
Among them are Gu Qingheng and Lin Xi.
Gu Qingheng was beating sterilized eggs. The man looked gentle and handsome with his eyes lowered and smiling.
The woman bit her chopsticks with a curved eyebrow.
Two young men and women, pictured from the side.
Chen Yan thought, what an adulterous couple.
Su Wan snorted coldly and asked the waiter, "Did you take the photo?"
"Yes. The photographer thought the two were pleasing to the eye. Besides, this Mr. Gu is a friend of our founder, so he hung it here."
"Heh." Chen Yan watched coldly and laughed.
Su Wan looked at him, he was looking at the photos.
Lin Xi in the photo.
It turns out that Lin Xi also has such a gentle side.
Unfortunately, she hasn't seen her husband for many years.
While having dinner with Su Wan, Shen Yan said indifferently: "Is there anything between you and me?"
Su Wan stopped eating and had a bad feeling.
“We are friends, what can we have? We can talk more like Mrs. Shen and Gu Qingheng.”
Then, Chen Yan has to think about what the relationship between him and Su Wan is like.
It seems like he has never done anything inappropriate.
"Then we should have fewer dinners together in the future."
See, put yourself in his shoes, this man can't stand it again.
Su Wan: "Are you telling a lie?"
"Tell the truth."
Su Wan hesitated to speak, holding the chopsticks tightly.
Looking at Chen Yan's eyes, hatred gradually emerged.
Only she, Lin Xi, had waited for Chen Yan for more than ten years. Wasn't it me, Su Wan, who had waited for Chen Yan for more than ten years?!
Indeed, Su Wan couldn't deceive herself, she had selfish thoughts.
Covetous and disgusted with power and influence.
But these don't stop her, she really loves Chen Yan!
As she ate, Su Wan choked up and burst into tears.
Chen Yan was calm and collected, "Why are you crying?"
"It's so delicious. I feel sad when I think this is my last meal with Ah Yan."
Shen Yan was silent.
Su Wan continued, "I've made you hate me, right? I can't even stay with you as a friend, right? Then, how about the identity of my savior..."
As she spoke, Su Wan excitedly lifted her clothes, revealing the scar on her stomach.
Shen Yan frowned.
"When did you say you wouldn't stay with me?"
"But……"
"Just saying, don't make dinner appointments any more. Got it?"
In any case, the man is in a bad mood and has little patience.
"I understand. I understand."
After that, neither of them said a word and the atmosphere was very tense.
Su Wan drove away by herself.
So is Chen Yan.
Tonight, Chen Yan didn't come home yet.
Lin Xi worked in the living room on the first floor until midnight, but Chen Yan had not returned yet.
She knew he wouldn't come back.
The next day, when Lin Xi was having breakfast alone, she asked Wang Ma, "Did Mr. Shen come back last night?"
"No." Mother Wang thought about it for a moment.
"Yeah." Lin Xi lowered her eyes.
In the evening, Lin Xi came home from get off work early.
I also cooked beef noodles myself.
While sniffing alone, Lin Xi thought of that early morning.
So, another layer of vinegar was poured.
In the evening, Lin Xi went to open the door of the next room.
Empty.
Chen Yan didn't come back again.
"Don't come back. I won't treat you well anyway. I don't welcome you and I don't like you anymore." A person said to himself.
For many days after that, Lin Xi didn't see Chen Yan.
She didn't ask again.
After all, they haven't seen each other for three years, and Lin Xi has been living well alone, so what's the problem now?
The worst-case scenario is that history repeats itself.
Tonight, I get off work early.
Lin Xi bought two boxes of cherries and returned to the Lin Mansion.
When the housekeeper saw Miss Lin, he bowed his head and said, "Mrs. Shen."
"Where's my father?"
Lin Xi walked in front.
"The chairman went out fishing with someone."
"Haha, Dad's retirement life is quite colorful." Lin Xi smiled.
When I walked into the living room, my mother and the wives were playing cards.
There was a lady who greeted Lin Xi warmly, "Is that Mrs. Shen?"
Lin Xi didn't know the other person.
But she smiled gently and generously.
Lin's mother helped introduce them in time.
After Lin Xi politely greeted her, her mother said, "Xixi, go upstairs and have a rest."
"good."
One of the ladies praised: "Mrs. Shen is so beautiful."
Another wife agreed, "It's all because Mrs. Lin raised him well."
Mother Lin was modest. "Okay, okay, I've heard a lot about your young master and young lady. They are successful in their studies and careers."
Compared with Lin Xi, he is indeed inferior.
But Lin's mother cannot show off too much, so as not to cause trouble.
After playing cards, it was already very late.
Lin Xi brings work wherever he goes.
Now I am working even harder.
Didn’t you hear Chen Yan say that you should leave the house with nothing?
This man was really cruel to her.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
"Come in."
"Xixi, I asked Auntie to make you a midnight snack. Your father caught a big fish, and I boiled the fish slices in water. You like it."
"good."
"Um."
Mother Lin sat next to Lin Xi and asked, "Did you have another fight with Shen Yan?"
Lin Xi was stunned.
He denied it, “No.”
"Oh." Lin's mother shook her head.
In the end, it’s still about persuading reconciliation rather than breaking up.
Forget it, Mother Lin said she was tired.
"I don't want to divorce him anymore." Lin Xi said suddenly.
She mentioned it, but it was no use.
It is only useful if you are tired of it and want to leave.
