Chapter 16 She Got Married
Xu Mo finally sent the edited WeChat message to Lin Jingchuan.
After sending it, she put down her phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
When she was very young, her father told her that human kindness is precious.
We should respond promptly to others' kindness towards us and never let others feel discouraged.
Lin Jingchuan made breakfast for her, although he might have been just fulfilling his husband's duty, or he might have made an extra breakfast for himself.
But she actually ate the breakfast he made.
Xu Mo didn't expect his reply.
But I didn’t expect that it would be less than five minutes after I sent it.
Lin Jingchuan called.
Looking at the name on the screen, Xu Mo felt the phone was a little hot. She swiped the screen and stood up: "Hello..."
-
There is an atmospheric German restaurant in CBD Central Park, which is famous for its delicious whiskey and authentic German cuisine. You can often see foreigners working in the embassy dining and drinking in the restaurant.
The lights in the restaurant were dim, and the bartender in a shirt was standing at the bar mixing drinks. Even the music had a slightly tipsy feel.
"She's married."
When Liao Haizhou heard these words in the German restaurant near the company, he stared at Zhao Tingyu, who was wearing a white shirt and had a cold expression across from him, and did not speak for a long time.
"That's impossible."
Liao Haizhou was called by Zhao Tingyu to have lunch at noon, and he was still wearing the suit he wore at the bank.
His first reaction was denial.
"Xu Mo is so busy with work. When she's not working, she's always around you. How could she have time to meet a man?" Liao Haizhou waved his hand. "This must be a misunderstanding."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Tingyu's face again. Under the dim light, he seemed to find that there were faint red bloodshot in Zhao Tingyu's eyes that were difficult to see.
He was not as indifferent as he appeared.
Zhao Tingyu picked up the whiskey with large ice cubes in it. The cool touch of the thin mist on the glass spread from his fingertips to his palm.
"I called her and a man answered. He said she was in the shower."
Liao Haizhou was speechless for a moment, his tone changing from undoubted to a hint of hesitation: "Then... have you asked Xu Mo herself?"
“She blocked me.”
Liao Haizhou: "This... this is unlikely, right? She should tell her parents about such a big thing as getting married? Why don't you call and ask her uncle and aunt."
Liao Haizhou looked at him unmoved and became anxious. He took his phone and found Xu Mo's home phone number: "Call. Call now."
Liao Haizhou directly pressed the call button and Zhao Tingyu did not stop him.
Father Xu quickly answered the phone. A warm, middle-aged man's voice said, "Tingyu?"
Zhao Tingyu was silent for a while, and Liao Haizhou kept mouthing to him: Ask quickly!
Zhao Tingyu lowered his eyes and finally whispered, "Uncle Xu, are you busy?"
Father Xu said, "I just finished my meal, Tingyu, what's the matter with you calling me?"
"Momo..." Zhao Tingyu's voice was slightly hoarse, "Have you called home recently?"
Father Xu seemed to think for a moment and said, "We've been communicating via WeChat lately. She must be busy with a project."
"Tingyu, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Aren't you with Momo? Is she okay lately? Is nothing wrong?"
Seeing that he was a little anxious, Zhao Tingyu hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't be nervous. Momo is fine."
After a pause, Zhao Tingyu said, "It's just that we've had some minor conflicts recently."
He lowered his eyes, and the coolness of the whiskey seeped through the glass into his palm.
Father Xu was stunned for a moment and said, "So that's how it is."
He comforted Zhao Tingyu: "You are both still very young. Young people are full of energy. It is easy to have conflicts when you are in love. It is okay to have conflicts. The important thing is to communicate and resolve them in time. As long as you keep each other in your heart, you can go on for a long time."
The elder's patient voice made Zhao Tingyu's lips twitch, and he raised his head.
When I was in my senior year of high school, I stayed at Xu Mo's house, and all the things that happened between us flashed through my mind like a movie.
At that time, his parents had just passed away and he was depressed. She followed him silently for a long time but was ignored by him. One day, she mustered up the courage and carefully came to his room with a transparent water tank containing goldfish, saying that if he was unhappy, he could look at the fish.
He lowered his eyes to look at her palm-sized face, which was porcelain white and pure. Her beautiful eyes, with distinct black and white, only reflected his face. Suddenly, he had the urge to kiss her.
All the chaotic thoughts in my mind since last night suddenly disappeared in an instant.
Only one thought remains.
He couldn't let Xu Mo leave him.
Zhao Tingyu didn't even pick up his chopsticks, he just stood up and left.
Liao Haizhou was left alone looking at the large pork elbow on the plate and started to panic: "Hey, at least eat something. I can't finish all this by myself!"
Zhao Tingyu paid the bill and left. He picked up the car in the basement and went straight to the downstairs of Xu Mo's company.
Xu Mo's company has access control. He went to the front desk to swipe his card, but the receptionist said, "We can't just swipe cards for anyone. Please provide your company email address or corporate WeChat account as proof."
Zhao Tingyu looked at her, suppressed his impatience, and said coldly, "I'm going upstairs to find my girlfriend."
The receptionist was stunned for a moment and said, "Then you can ask her to come down and pick you up. We can't just..."
Before she could finish her words, Zhao Tingyu spotted an employee who was swiping his card to enter, followed him into the turnstile, and then got on the elevator.
The front desk wanted to stop him, but when they looked around and saw that there were no security guards around who could help, they all seemed to have gone to eat, so they didn't continue chasing him.
The elevator continued to rise.
Zhao Tingyu took a deep breath, but still couldn't suppress the confusion in his heart.
The other two girls in the elevator couldn't help but look at his profile and whispered, "So handsome."
After opening the door, Zhao Tingyu followed the employee who had just finished his meal and swiped his card to enter. He stood at the door and looked around, and saw Xu Mo's workstation nameplate.
Stride over.
Zou Kexin saw him first: "Eh? Are you Xu Mo's boyfriend?"
Zhao Tingyu: "Is Xu Mo here?"
Zou Kexin glanced at her workstation and said, "She's not here. What do you want to talk to her about?"
Zhao Tingyu's shoulders sank. "Where did she go?"
Zou Kexin felt that although this man was handsome, the coldness he exuded was really oppressive. She spread her hands and said, "I don't know either."
"The computer is not here. Maybe he went home on leave, or maybe he went to meet a client."
-
Conference room on the third floor of Landa Group.
"Are you Xu Mo?" Ou Guoqiang sat in the rocking chair, looking up and down at the young girl standing in front of him.
She wore a light blue casual suit jacket with a gray knee-length suit skirt with a slight fishtail.
The exposed arms look very slender.
Xu Mo hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes, yes."
Ou Guoqiang hummed a syllable through his nose and read the contents of her resume in his hand: "Graduated from the Management Department of Hua University, and has been working in consulting since graduation."
"yes……"
Xu Mo stood there with her lips pursed.
She didn't dare to say much because she was not sure what impression the executive in front of her had of her.
At noon, I learned from Lin Jingchuan that since he was married to me, he needed to stay away from the project.
In addition to the chairman’s arrangement, the project contact person was replaced by another person.
That is Mr. Ou, one of the veterans of the Blue Group.
Then she was called to the Landa Group by Mr. Ou's secretary, who said that Mr. Ou wanted to meet her as the project manager.
On the way, Xu Mo urgently checked the information of this contact person and found that this person was in charge of several major regions in the north and was at the same level as Lin Jingchuan.
She was a little nervous at the time, thinking that this person might be in competition with Lin Jingchuan.
He took over as the project leader. What if he was to clean up the mess and find fault with himself?
Xu Mo looked at him nervously. After a while, Ou Guoqiang finally spoke.
“I also graduated from Hua University.”
Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, then quickly called out, "Hello, Senior Brother."
Ou Guoqiang smiled and said, "Judging from your accent, you sound like you're from South City?"
Xu Mo:!
Could it be a fellow villager?
She nodded quickly: "Yes."
"I'm from there too." Ou Guoqiang said with a smile.
Xu Mo: "Oh! I see. No wonder I felt you looked so kind the moment I walked in. Your accent sounds just like my uncle's."
Ou Guoqiang smiled again and stood up: "Xiao Xu, you and I are destined to be together. If you work hard on this project, you will grow a lot."
“…”
-
After returning home in the evening, Xu Mo talked about this conversation with Lin Jingchuan, and she still felt a little uneasy.
"Is Mr. Ou easy to get along with..." Xu Mo asked him while sitting on the sofa, looking up. "He called me to the conference room today and asked me a question. It was a bit strange."
Her distinct black and white almond-shaped eyes reflected his face. She held the pillow in her arms with both hands, squeezing it nervously.
Lin Jingchuan raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Guess."
Xu Mo pursed her lips unconsciously and buried her head in the pillow: "I don't really want to know."
Lin Jingchuan smiled. His fingers wanted to tap on her furry head, but finally stopped two centimeters away from her head.
Xu Mo raised her head and saw Lin Jingchuan sitting down beside her.
He was wearing a denim blue shirt today, tucked into a pair of well-cut casual trousers.
A faint light shone on his face. He turned on the TV and said to Xu Mo, "Will you watch TV with me?"
Xu Mo: "What are you looking at?"
Lin Jingchuan said nothing, but just kept tuning into CCTV-1.
Xu Mo pursed her lips and looked at his profile, thinking that he was indeed a top student, still studying after work.
The newly convened conference released a lot of good news, which greatly boosted confidence.
Xu Mo watched very seriously.
Lin Jingchuan would occasionally turn his head to look at her, and she looked at him intently, with a strand of hair falling by her ear. She didn't wear an ear clip today, revealing a pair of chubby earlobes.
After the news broadcast, while the host was sorting through the documents, Xu Mo heard Lin Jingchuan say, "Boss Ou isn't a bad person, and he won't make things difficult for you. He did say he wanted to change consulting firms before, but that was just to gain control of the project. Now that he's in charge, he doesn't care which consulting firm it is."
Xu Mo slowly turned sideways and looked at his handsome and three-dimensional profile, only then she noticed a small mole on the tip of his nose.
"Xu Mo."
Lin Jingchuan called her name.
"Um?"
The man suddenly turned his head and looked at her: "I told you everything."
There was a hint of pity in his tone.
It feels like I have told you all my secrets, so how do you respond?
The two of them were very close, and Lin Jingchuan's eyes were staring at her. When his eyelids closed for a moment, she could see the slight wrinkles on his double eyelids.
He is really handsome, with a handsome and noble appearance, but now he is so close to you, giving you the feeling that you could only admire him from afar before, but now you can play with him.
Xu Mo's ears felt slightly hot: "Well, thank you..."
Lin Jingchuan looked at her for a long time.
He sighed softly, "You've said this to me many times."
“But I never asked for a thank you.”
