Chapter 54: Outrageous Talk
I guess the old guys on the board of directors had already told my father about this. Lin Xi wasn't surprised. Money was their most important thing. They talked about being righteous and moral, but in reality, they were all dishonest businessmen.
"Will you blame me?" Lin Xi asked her mother.
"No, how could Mom blame you? It has nothing to do with you. Xiao Shen has helped a lot over the years and brought a lot of money to the Lin Group. He also respects me and your father very much. That's enough, all these years, that's enough."
Yes, Chen Yan is loyal enough.
Back then, Lin's father was just helping him out, but he didn't expect that he would become so rich, whether it was Lin's father and mother asking him to marry Lin Xi, or he later cooperated unconditionally with the Lin family.
"Thank you, Mom." Because her mother said this, the burden in Lin Xi's heart was relieved.
The next day, Lin Xi arrived at the company early in the morning. Before he could even sit down in his office chair, the board of directors requested a meeting and specifically asked Director Lin to attend.
Okay, let’s go.
Now that the company wasn't making that much money, this group of people got anxious. They started to blame Lin Xi intentionally or unintentionally at the meeting. Although they didn't say it explicitly, Lin Xi was no fool and of course understood.
"So Uncle Wang means that I didn't manage my marriage well and brought trouble to the Lin family?"
The man in his fifties with gray hair on his temples was speechless for a moment, but he had no scruples.
"yes."
"Then Uncle Wang, I won't be polite. Since you've already mentioned my love life, I'll tell you about yours. Ever since you married a wife thirty years younger than you, you've been laughed at a lot. It's been in the news time and time again, and it was still the Lin Group that handled the public relations. You've also had a lot of impact on the Lin Group. And no matter what, the profits brought by the cooperation with the Shen Group over the years are obvious to all. You can't just turn against each other now that it's not making that much money." An old cow is eating young grass, and you still have the nerve to criticize others?!
"Lin Xi, you are a junior, I won't argue with you. Let your father talk to me."
"I'm the younger one, so I call you uncle. I'm just speaking the truth."
Mr. Wang snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Someone who had a close relationship with Lin Xi's father came out to smooth things over, "Alright, alright, Director Lin does have a point, Old Wang, don't be angry."
Lin Xi rolled her eyes.
Now that the Lin family has lost Chen Yan as their backer, are they going to seek power and usurp the throne?
All of these people present were co-founders, having founded the Lin Group together. Why was it that his father was in charge while they could only get a piece of the pie?
On the surface, he was talking about money, but in reality he wanted to tentatively bully the Lin family.
After the meeting, Lin Xi returned to the office a little irritated.
The person who never liked to inspect the department took a stroll and bought two boxes of oranges for the employees in his department and asked Linda to distribute them.
Next, start the meeting.
After a day of meetings, they had to work overtime again. Of course, Lin's benefits were good, and overtime was paid.
Wang Xiao walked out of the meeting room with his back drooped and feeling depressed. It was already nine o'clock and he still had a lot of work to do. He would probably have to work overtime until midnight.
"Let's eat some oranges. These oranges are five yuan each in the supermarket." Wang Xiao understood and used both kindness and force. He had been following Lin Xi for a while and could tell that she was a little angry today.
Lin Xi founded this investment department, but since it hasn't completed many investment projects, it's normal that the boss sometimes dislikes it.
At one o'clock in the morning, Lin Xi returned home.
White shirt, jeans, high heels, slightly curly hair, and brown windbreaker.
The woman is charming and fragrant.
"Meow meow meow~~"
As soon as she entered the door, Xiao Fu welcomed her master home.
Lin Xi bent down, looked at the little guy and said to herself: "By the way, doesn't Shen Yan dislike kittens...?"
"You haven't had dinner yet, right? Here, I'll find some cat food for you."
"Oh, Xiaofu, you are so good."
Lin Xi was feeding Xiao Fu cat snacks and she could hardly open her eyes.
However, Lin Xi must take a shower before going to bed, especially on hot and humid summer nights, when she feels sticky and really can't sleep well.
…
I took a cold shower and then walked out of the bathroom sighing.
I was still cursing those people on the board of directors in my heart.
This is like crossing the river and destroying the bridge!
For a moment, Lin Xi felt too much pressure.
Marrying Shen Yan was painful, and divorcing Shen Yan was even more painful. "Shen Yan, Shen Yan, you are truly my nemesis, you are truly the calamity of my life."
…
Time flies like running water, and it never comes back.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Xi and Shen Yan have been divorced for three months.
He was still forcing her, forcing her with money, forcing her with the company. Like a soft knife, he didn't expect Lin's to go bankrupt, but it was because of the continuous losses, the losses were not big, and the things that were not a big deal to Lin's company were made a big fuss by the board of directors.
Once again, Lin's father and Uncle Wang had a disagreement and started fighting in the conference room. The situation was out of control for a while.
Two old men in their fifties were both admitted to the hospital.
Tonight, Lin Xi got off work early and came to Beijing First Hospital to visit her father.
He's already old, but he still plays hard. He said, "If I stop playing, I'll get old." He still smokes and drinks like he did when he was young, and he hasn't given up at all.
It was a slightly chilly Mid-Autumn night. Lin Xi gathered her coat and took the VIP elevator to the eleventh floor. As she turned the corner, she saw Chen Yan and Xiu Yun standing together and talking about something.
This man is always noble and handsome.
It’s been a long time since I last saw you. It’s been more than two months.
Lin Xi didn't go forward, but just watched silently from afar.
After the two men finished talking and Shen Yan left, Lin Xi stepped forward.
"Mother."
When she heard the voice "Mom", Xiuyun looked over.
When he saw it was his daughter, he asked, "Why are you here? I heard you guys are very busy today."
"Busy or not, I always find time. How's Dad?"
"Hey. Fortunately, he's awake."
"You still need to regulate your high blood pressure. You faint when you get emotional."
But what Xiuyun didn't tell Lin Xi was, "Actually, your father has always had heart problems, but it's nothing serious. He takes some medicine now and then and it stabilizes. Who knew that bastard would be so aggressive in the meeting?"
Uncle Wang's ambition is obvious. He wants his father, and even Lin Xi, to give up their shares. His reason is that he believes his father is not worthy of continuing to lead the Lin Group because under his father's management, the Lin Group has been stagnant and is either regressing or not making any progress.
"Well, shh, Mom, don't say anymore." We were about to enter the ward, and if I talked too much about work, Dad would get suspicious again.
"good."
Pushing open the door of the ward, Lin Xi said with a smile, "Dad, I'm here to see you."
"Xixi is here."
Dad was still on an oxygen tube and had a needle in his hand.
Lin Xi thought back to her father, the well-dressed, high-spirited father from her childhood. Back then, the family was already quite wealthy, and there were many people who curry favor with the Lin family.
Since childhood, all her classmates lived in residential areas, but her family had a villa, a beautiful yard, an aunt to cook, and a nanny to do the housework.
Every time there is a parent-teacher meeting, as soon as her parents arrive, the teacher will come forward to greet them, and her classmates will praise her father for being handsome and her mother for being beautiful.
The life of a rich young lady, all earned by the man in front of her, was earned by her since she was little. Now that this man has fallen, Lin Xi will feel guilty and blame herself. Shouldn't she divorce Shen Yan?
When leaving the hospital and getting back into the car, Lin Xi couldn't help but cover her face and cry.
I returned home feeling completely dejected.
Xiao Fu looked at her master who was listless, and her tail, which was raised in the air, gradually fell down.
…
The next morning, she didn't go to the company.
Going for a drink with full-time housewife Xuedan.
Seeing Xuedan again, Xuedan is too much!
She was so beautiful and gentle that Lin Xi almost didn't recognize her.
"I think this style is quite interesting. I've never tried it before, but once I did, I was hooked."
"Oh. It seems like she enjoys being Mrs. Chen."
Xuedan: "No way, I'm clearly trying to find joy in misery, okay?"
"I didn't see that."
After Lin Xi drank two glasses of wine, he realized that Xuedan hadn't touched a single sip.
"That's not nice."
"I'm only four weeks pregnant. From now on, you drink wine and I drink juice."
"Oh my God, you're pregnant, that's great." Lin Xi was really happy for Xuedan and was also really envious.
"My relationship with Chen Jialian has improved a lot since I had this baby. He now comes home on time and cares about me." Xuedan said, stroking her still flat belly with her hand.
"It smells really good. Who said that they didn't like Chen Jialian, but liked Chu Jingchuan, and couldn't bear to part with Chu Jingchuan?"
"Who knew that Chen Jialian would become more and more handsome the more I looked at him, and I found that he had a lot of assets and was more cost-effective than the second-generation rich people born into billionaire families."
"Xuedan, as long as you are happy." Lin Xi said in a serious and gentle tone.
"Well, I hope my good pregnancy will be passed on to our Xixi."
"I don't even have a man, who should I have a baby with?" Her life is now completely empty. It has been two months since she last had sex with Shen Yan.
"Just find someone. Do you want to live alone forever?"
"I won't look for it anymore. It's good to be alone." Lin Xi felt guilty when he said this.
He drank the wine in one gulp, with only confusion in his eyes.
I am so afraid to marry Shen Yan for the second time, also for Lin and for my father.
"You are only twenty-five years old. There will still be people who love you and cherish you."
Lin Xi snorted coldly, "I'm just borrowing your good wishes."
…
…
Xuedan had to go home before ten o'clock to have dinner with Chen Jialian.
She would considerately pick up food for Chen Jialian, and then when he took a shower, she would help him tidy up his clothes and trousers.
They kiss each other before going to bed and then sleep in each other's arms.
Except for the occasional disrespect to Xuedan when Chen Jialian was too interested, most of the time, the two of them treated each other with respect and loved each other. There was a little sense of distance, but Xuedan felt that every couple had a way of getting along.
The next day, Xuedan took the initiative to find Lin Xi.
When the doorbell rang, Lin Xi came to open the door with disheveled hair and dirty face.
It looks like he just woke up.
"Come in."
"What's wrong with you? You were so depressed last night, and you're still depressed today?"
"Oh, forget it. It's hard to explain in a few words." Lin's family affairs are family disgraces that should not be made public even if Xuedan is close to them.
"I'm going to visit Uncle Lin with you today. I heard that Uncle Lin is in the hospital. Is he okay?"
"Oh." Lin Xi was suddenly moved and hugged Xuedan.
Xuedan comforted Lin Xi.
Lin Xi went to wash up, and Xuedan helped take care of Xiaofu.
Xiao Fu fell in love with Xue Dan at first sight and seemed to be particularly attracted to her. She kept sniffing her scent and behaved well in front of her.
Afterwards, the two women drove to the First Hospital.
Father Lin was still asleep, so Xiuyun took the supplements that Xuedan sent.
Then, Xuedan and Xiuyun exchanged a few words and went to have lunch with Lin Xi.
Xuedan is currently experiencing morning sickness and cannot eat greasy food. Lin Xi likes to eat vegetable salad, while Xuedan eats fruit salad.
Xuedan's eyes wandered as she muttered to herself, "Fruit, Chen Yan?"
I almost thought I was seeing things. How could it be Guozi and Shen Yan?
Guozi is Xuedan’s classmate at university. She is the daughter of a fruit tree agricultural group. Her family specializes in cultivating high-end fruits, and many red wines on the market are brewed by her family.
How could she be walking with Shen Yan? Were they having dinner together? Or was she mistaken? Guozi was sure, but Shen Yan didn't see her face.
"Xuedan, Xuedan..." Lin Xi said.
Xuedan, who was stunned, suddenly came back to her senses, "Oh, what's wrong, Xixi."
Lin Xi turned around, but there was clearly nothing there. "What were you looking at just now? You were so mesmerized."
Xuedan thought about it and decided not to say anything. "No, I saw an old acquaintance. Just a university classmate from abroad."
"Hey wait, I see someone I know too."
Standing next to Gu Qingheng was a dignified beauty, Chen Ganggang.
Gu Qingheng looked at her and decided to go up and say hello.
"Mr. Gu, long time no see." Lin Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"Mr. Lin, how are you?" Gu Qingheng smiled, her eyes and eyebrows gentle.
Ganggang looked at the woman in front of him. She was very beautiful and about 1.65 meters tall.
"Miss Lin, oh no, Mrs. Shen." No one knew that Lin Xi and Shen Yan were married, including Chen Ganggang.
Gu Qingheng's smile suddenly stopped. Chen Ganggang noticed it and looked at him, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
Like married women?
Mrs. Shen?
However, Chen Ganggang immediately denied it. He must have cared too much about Gu Qingheng's words, so he would be suspicious when he saw a married woman.
Chen Yan is not someone who can be cuckolded. That man is very powerful, so his wife must obey him in everything to please him.
"Who are you?" Lin Xi felt that she looked familiar.
Chen Ganggang introduced himself and took the initiative to put his arm around Gu Qingheng, but Gu Qingheng pulled it away.
Chen Ganggang felt disappointed for a moment, then said, "Qingheng and I are here for dinner, why don't we join us?"
"Okay." Gu Qingheng agreed first.
Chen Ganggang smiled sadly. She had already seen that Gu Qingheng liked being with Lin Xi.
So he called Xuedan over, and the four of them sat together to eat.
Lin Xi and Gu Qingheng faced each other, and Chen Ganggang and Xuedan faced each other.
Gu Qingheng and Chen Ganggang sat side by side, while Xuedan and Lin Xi sat side by side.
There was a woman sitting next to them, just opposite Xuedan and Lin Xi. Xuedan looked at Guozi and prayed that Chen Yan would not show up.
But then, damn it, Chen Yan showed up and sat across from Guozi.
Mr. Shen met with his wife. Among the people present, only Xuedan and Gu Qingheng knew about their divorce, and Guozi was still unclear.
Chen Yan and Lin Xi looked at each other, and Guozi came to greet them, "I'm Chen Yan's girlfriend."
