Chapter 47: Fortune and Misfortune
"Who is Director Lin chatting with so happily?"
Lin Xi glanced at him indifferently, moved to a comfortable sitting position, and closed her eyes, "With Shen Yan. Who else?"
She was going back to sleep.
"oh."
Lin Xi fell silent and fell asleep.
Gu Qingheng looked at the woman only after he heard her even breathing.
She wears no makeup, yet exudes elegance.
Gu Qingheng retracted his gaze.
I stopped looking at her, looked straight ahead, and drove seriously.
After returning to Tianshui Village, Lin Xi didn't get enough sleep in the car, so he went back to the room, lit mosquito repellent incense, and continued to sleep.
I slept until the afternoon and woke up feeling refreshed.
They have already held two group meetings with Gu Qingheng. To be honest, it is useless for Lin's people to come. They are just here to conduct an on-site inspection. After all, they are the investors.
Lunch started at five o'clock sharp. This was the first time for Gu Qingheng to eat such a big pot meal.
Lin Xi knew how much he ate, he always ate a bowl of rice at a meal.
When you come to Tianshui Village, the price is halved.
"I think today's potato ribs are quite delicious."
"Really?" Gu Qingheng felt that adding some coriander would make it taste better.
"Um."
"If you like it, eat more. I'll just forget it."
"To be honest, you are a bit picky." Lin Xi said to him while chewing slowly.
"How does that compare to Mr. Shen?"
"Mr. Shen is not worldly."
“That’s a really high rating.”
Lin Xi took the pickled vegetables and asked Gu Qingheng with a smile: "Do you hate Chen Yan?"
“No, I admire Mr. Shen very much and envy him very much.”
Lin Xi is really a good and high-quality woman, very suitable to be a partner.
Gu Qingheng finished eating and left first with the cutlery.
I'm going to discuss high-level design with the designers of Gu Group.
Lin Xi was relaxed, so she called Linda and Wang Xiao, and the three of them went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. They heard that there were also wild fruits on the mountain, such as strawberries, blueberries and raspberries.
All three of them were born and raised in the city, and only Lin Xi had been to an uninhabited island. However, that island was a fishing village, and the experience was completely different from that of Tianshui Village.
The air in the mountains is very clear. I heard that there are fewer insects in the morning. When it gets hot at noon, some poisonous animals will appear, such as snakes.
The three women were wearing long sleeves and trousers. Wang Xiao discovered a field of strawberry seedlings, with a faint hint of bright red amidst the green.
"Boss, Sister Linda." Wang Xiao called them.
They rushed over when they heard the sound.
Wang Xiao pulled aside the vines and picked a strawberry and put it in his hand.
They are red and big, exactly the same as those sold in fruit shops, and even taste the same.
Wang Xiao nodded frantically, "Boss, Sister Linda, you guys should try it too."
Wang Xiao turned around and picked two more, Lin Xi took one, and Linda took one.
The strawberry aroma is full and the taste is sour and sweet.
So the three women plundered the strawberry field and continued to move forward, picking some wild grasses, such as dandelions, which they were familiar with.
"Why does the weather feel so gloomy? Is it going to rain?" Ever since she was injured in Country F last time, Linda's legs have been sick, and rainy and cloudy days are more accurate than the weather forecast.
"Sister Linda, don't tell me, I feel the same way!"
Wang Xiaolinda was such a jinx. As soon as she finished speaking, a raindrop as big as a bean fell on the tip of Lin Xi's nose.
Lin Xi stroked it with her fingers.
"Let's go down the mountain so we don't get wet in the rain."
I had just taken two steps when the rain came.
"Boss, Wang Xiao, let's find a place to hide from the rain first."
"But Sister Linda, there is no place to hide from the rain now. Will we get struck by lightning if we go under the tree?" Wang Xiao said anxiously.
"No thunder, no way." Linda replied.
The three women found the largest tree in the area, whose huge branches could block 90% of the rain.
"It seems nice to enjoy the rain in the mountains." Lin Xi stretched out her arms. The drizzle just now was getting heavier, hitting her palms with a cool feeling. "I just don't know when it will stop?"
Wang Xiao had already taken out his cell phone and checked the weather forecast.
"This rain will last for forty minutes, Boss. Do you want to notify Mr. Gu to pick us up?"
"Okay, you call or send a message." Lin Xi.
"Well, I don't have Mr. Gu's phone number. Send a message in the group and tag Mr. Gu."
"If there is a pavilion sitting on the West Lake, I wonder how beautiful the misty and rainy Jiangnan would be." Linda has already imagined it.
Wang Xiao: "Wow, Sister Linda, you are so good at describing things. It's so poetic. I encountered a scene like this the last time I traveled to Jiangnan."
While editing text messages, I chatted with Linda.
***
Gu Qingheng didn't have time to read the messages in the group, but other colleagues saw them.
Go and inform Mr. Gu in person.
Gu Qingheng called a group of people, took raincoats and went up the mountain to pick up Lin Xi and the other three.
Wang Xiao shared his location, and Gu Qingheng was about to approach them. Linda had sharp ears and heard the footsteps.
"We are here." Linda waved her hands and shouted.
Gu Qingheng came with a group of people. He looked at Lin Xi first, and then put the raincoat on Lin Xi, bypassing everyone else.
"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Gu."
"Why are you being so polite to me, Director Lin?"
Linda looked at Gu Qingheng disappointedly.
Perhaps this kind of boss, this kind of rich second-generation, is not what they should aspire to be.
Gu Qingheng has always been popular with young girls. Many female employees in the Gu Group regard him as their secret crush and a treasure in their pocket.
Lin Xi, who was also a woman, noticed it and glanced at Linda.
Linda noticed that the boss was looking at her and immediately looked away.
Most companies have clear regulations prohibiting office romances, including the Lin and Gu Groups. It's okay to secretly crush on your boss without getting caught, but openly flirting will get you fired.
After returning from the mountain, Lin Xi immediately felt cold all over. Thinking it was because her clothes were wet, she took a hot shower.
When I sleep at night, I feel my nose is blocked.
I woke up early the next morning and the moment I moved, my head started spinning.
Even though my body was burning hot, I still felt cold.
She knew she had a cold.
Usually Lin Xi and Gu Qingheng eat together. Today, she didn't show up in the cafeteria, so Gu Qingheng came to look for her.
Lin Xi's face was burning red, and she looked at the man half-deadly: "Medicine... give me cold medicine." Her voice was weak.
"That won't work."
Gu Qingheng took out his cell phone and called an ambulance.
"Hey, Mr. Gu, are you making a big deal out of nothing?"
"Go back and take good care of yourself." After he hung up the phone, he spoke to Lin Xi in a gentle voice.
"Um."
Thirty minutes later, the ambulance arrived and took Lin Xi away.
Gu Qingheng sent the unimportant Wang Xiaoqian to accompany her boss.
I went to the hospital, got an IV drip and took some cold medicine.
Lin Xi fell into a deep sleep.
The ward she stayed in was a VIP room.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Lin Xi slowly opened her eyes.
My mouth is dry and my throat is so dry that I can't speak.
There were two beds in the room, and a man was lying on the bed next to him, looking disgusted.
"Husband..." Since she lost her memory, her relationship with Shen Yan has quickly heated up. Even now that her memory has been restored, the warmth still lingers.
She didn't want to wake him, so she got out of bed and poured herself a glass of water.
After moistening his throat, he climbed onto Chen Yan's bed and lay beside him.
"Actually, I love you, right?" Lin Xi said to herself, hugged the man, and fell asleep.
Chen Yan just woke up and held Lin Xi's hand as if it were a treasure.
---You said you love me.
****
A couple in love, sharing a room, are passionately attracted to each other.
Early in the morning, after tossing and turning, Lin Xi lay breathless in Shen Yan's arms.
The next second, a resentful kiss fell on Chen Yan.
After the kiss, Chen Yan blew into her ear and said, "Are you afraid that I won't be able to pass it on?"
"Yes, we live and die together, and share hardships. We should empathize with each other..."
"You said, if you betray me, I'll kill you. If you leave me, I'll kill you too. When I die, I'll take you with me. I thought suicide for love was an ancient legend, but it seems it's not, right, wife?"
"You..." Lin Xi was speechless for a moment.
"Say you love me."
“No.”
"I'll give you another chance."
Lin Xi continued to be stubborn, and Chen Yan was trying to force himself.
At noon, Lin Xi and Shen Yan went out to have lunch.
The boxed lunches in the hospital are all watery and tasteless.
Lin Xi doesn't like to eat, and she loses her appetite just by looking at it.
I went out to eat hotpot with Shen Yan, and when I returned to the hospital, I met Gu Qingheng outside the ward.
"Mr. Gu, why are you here?" Lin Xi spoke first.
"Come and see how you are doing."
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Gu. My wife is doing well."
“Oh. Since Mrs. Shen is fine, it seems that I was worrying too much.”
Chen Yan smiled and looked at Lin Xi. Lin Xi only read two words in his eyes: danger.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Gu. If there's nothing else, I should just get the IV drip." The implication was to drive the guest away.
There was a flash of sadness in Gu Qingheng's eyes, but she hid it very well.
"Well, remember to tell me when you get better."
The meeting between these two men was a blast.
After Gu Qingheng left, Chen Yan asked Lin Xi: "When you recover from your illness, will you tell him? Who is he to you? I don't think I am like a husband, he is more like one."
Lin Xi: “…”
"Except...he can't sleep with you. Only I can."
Lin Xi felt his head buzzing.
"Chen Yan, you are being unreasonable and making trouble."
"Oh, really?" Shen Yan laughed, but he was so angry that he laughed.
"How many times have I told you to stay away from Gu Qingheng? Do you really think what I say is nonsense?"
"What are you doubting?"
Because of Gu Qingheng, she and Shen Yan had no idea how many times they had quarreled.
From today on, Shen Yan and Lin stopped all cooperation.
In just seven days, the Lin Group suffered a seven-digit loss.
Lin Xi could no longer sit still and went to find Chen Yan to seek peace.
Inside the Dream Bar, the DJ music is deafening.
Lin Xi's dress is completely different from all the women here. She is elegant and noble.
Chen Yan rarely comes here to drink. At this moment, he is sitting with the rich kids from Jingbei and a few young and fashionable girls.
Those little girls cling to the rich boys like vines, but they are obsessed with this green mountain, and no one can climb up!
"Second brother, sister-in-law is here."
One of the wealthy young men greeted Lin Xi, "Welcome, sister-in-law."
Lin Xi walked over to Chen Yan, sat next to him, and snatched his wine glass.
"Mr. Chen, are you really not going home?" Lin Xi asked the man in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Beg me."
Lin Xi: “?”
Lin Xi took out her cell phone and deleted all of Gu Qingheng’s contacts in front of Shen Yan.
"Don't be angry, husband, please." Lin Xi hugged Chen Yan and whispered softly in his ear.
After saying this, Lin Xi felt so nauseous that he almost vomited.
However, let's coax him first. This man is so powerful that he can make the Lin family lose hundreds of thousands of dollars every day.
****
After getting in the car, Chen Yan couldn't help himself.
The space is too small to display the skills.
After returning home, they went upstairs and kissed each other. This time, Lin Xi cooperated with him and pleased him.
The next morning, Lin Xi was sitting in the office with sore waist and legs. Linda came in to report the good news, saying that people from Shen's company had arrived and asked if Lin Xi wanted to go to the meeting with them.
The insult from last night was still fresh in Lin Xi's mind. He said helplessly, "Forget it. You guys go ahead."
Seeing that Mr. Lin looked unhappy, Linda walked out of the office and told Wang Xiao: "Make a cup of brown sugar water for the director."
Brown sugar water really replenishes blood, and Lin Xi has a little hypoglycemia.
"Okay, Sister Linda."
At night, Lin Xi returned home.
Go see Xiaofu first.
"Oh my God, you've grown so fast. I haven't seen you for a few days." Xiao Fu has become chubby and looks a lot bigger than before.
"Meow." Xiao Fu called to Lin Xi.
"Auntie Wang, should Xiaofu's cat food be changed?"
After being touched by water, everything became wet.
"Yes, ma'am!"
Wang Ma's voice came from the kitchen.
At nine o'clock, the meal is ready.
Just in time, Mr. Shen also went home after get off work.
Like many other nights, the couple ate quietly facing each other.
Afterwards, Lin Xi went upstairs to take a shower, do her skin care, read for a while, and then lay down to sleep with Shen Yan.
When did we start looking so much like a couple? It started when we were no longer just a couple in name only, right?!
"Chen Yan, tell me a bedtime story."
"What do you want to hear?"
"I don't know. Just tell me what you know."
But Chen Yan never said that.
But she was willing to coax Lin Xi into a good time, and began to tell a story her grandmother had told her when she was little: the Rabbit Princess and the Gray Rabbit Knight. She was an unloved princess, and he was a spy from an enemy nation. But thanks to an imperial decree, the Rabbit Princess was betrothed to the Gray Rabbit Knight. After marriage, the two rabbits went from disliking each other to loving each other. The Rabbit Princess's innocence touched the cunning Gray Rabbit Knight.
When he was a child, Chen Yan asked his grandmother a question: How can one go from hating someone to loving them?
My grandmother said she didn't know either, because she and my grandfather fell in love at first sight.
Twenty years later, after getting married and starting a family, I finally understood.
Lin Xi fell asleep, and Chen Yan kissed her.
He also closed his eyes and fell asleep in his wife's arms.
From then on, Lin Xi found the most effective and sweetest "sleeping pill" in the world, which was Shen Yan.
Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. My heart disease is you, so my heart medicine also needs to be you.
Since then, Wang Xiao has asked several times, "Boss, you seem to be in a good mood today."
It turns out that happiness and unhappiness cannot be hidden or concealed.
