Xiao Zheng did not drive here, nor did he take a taxi when he went back. Instead, he chose to take the subway. There were many people on the subway, and when there were many people, there were all kinds of people. There were old people sitting alone in the corner, and there were middle-aged mothers holding their children in their arms, but most of them were tired and dozing off to work. Living in the capital often required more hardships than living in a local city to obtain the same quality of life.
Xiao Zheng sat alone in the corner, the expression on his face had returned to normal, and he was trying to calm the waves in his heart.
He was actually not a man with much ambition. Otherwise, in those years overseas, he would have had more and better opportunities for development and development. Drinking with the chief and touring the garden with the royal family was not Ma Choi Jun bragging, but it was true. But Xiao Zheng was lazy and always lived in his own narrow world. He felt that life would be perfect if he had a bowl of rice to eat and a glass of wine to drink. He rarely thought about how much money a person had to earn in his life, and how high his status was to be considered successful.
This might have something to do with the old director's education.
Of course, an old man who could spend all his savings to set up a charity orphanage, how could you expect him to teach Xiao Zheng how ruthless and ambitious he was? Wasn't that nonsense?
Seeing all kinds of people was a good way to ease the mood. After seeing too much suffering in the world, a person's soul would always be temporarily sublimated. No more complaints, and there was no right to complain about life. Compared to most people in the world, everyone's living environment and quality of life were good. At least it was maintained in a passable state.
After sitting on the subway for nearly an hour, Xiao Zheng walked out of the subway station, bought a bottle of mineral water at the convenience store at the intersection, and drank it in one gulp. A natural smile appeared on his face. It was not the stiff smile at the dining table, but a sincere, calm, and unmixed smile that came from the heart.
It was already 10: 30 when he returned home. Lin Huayin turned on the light for him, and there was a fruit salad on the dining table. Xiao Zheng changed his shoes and finished the carefully made salad before turning off the light and going upstairs.
"You're still busy." Xiao Zheng walked over with a smile and massaged Lin Huayin's shoulders.
Lin Huayin put down her pen and responded to Xiao Zheng's gentle massage, "Did you drink?"
"Yes." Xiao Zheng smiled and sighed. "My father-in-law's Maotai is sold in boxes. He's too rich."
Lin Huayin looked back slightly and glanced at Xiao Zheng, who had a smile on his face but his eyes were not so bright. Feeling a little strange in his heart, he only said, "Go take a bath. I'll make you a cup of ginseng tea. "
"Okay." Xiao Zheng smiled, took off his clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
The toothpaste was squeezed onto the toothbrush, and the clean underwear was placed on the clothes rack. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them hadn't reached that stage yet, with Lin Huayin's thoughtfulness, she could even help Xiao Zheng apply the shower gel. Of course, after an unforgettable experience, she believed that even if Xiao Zheng exchanged his life for it, he might not be able to get a second chance.
After taking a quick shower and changing into comfortable pajamas, Xiao Zheng climbed into bed. At this time, Lin Huayin also turned off the computer, put down the pen and paper, and accompanied Xiao Zheng to rest.
As usual, Xiao Zheng always liked to chat with Lin Huayin about meaningless topics before going to bed. Lin Huayin was silent at first, but she slowly got used to it. Occasionally, she would even take the initiative to bring up one or two meaningful topics. This had become an indispensable part of their lives.
Due to many reasons, Xiao Zheng didn't take the initiative to mention the Lin family. He found a lot of irrelevant topics to talk about. They chatted animatedly, and they were having a great time. He was like a carefree big boy who still stayed in the ivory tower.
His acting skills were superb. It was realistic enough to make others think that he had just won the first prize, and the prize money was enough for him to spend for ten lifetimes. Lin Huayin was not good at acting, and she disdained to hide herself in front of anyone. She was like this. She didn't change because of others, and no one could change her.
But she had a pair of fiery eyes and could see through many people who acted in front of her. No matter men or women.
Even if Xiao Zheng covered it up very well, he didn't deliberately ignore the Lin family. What's more, in the topic he just talked about, not only Lin Xiaozhu, but also the Lin couple made a cameo appearance.
But he was still seen through by Lin Huayin at a glance. It was easier and simpler than seeing through others.
No one could act in front of his family. Just like a child who was suffering, even if he or she had won the world's top acting awards. But in front of his family, his every move and all the deliberate and exquisite concealment were like the king's new clothes, which didn't work. Even if he hid it, it was just that his family couldn't bear to expose it.
"He refused?" Lin Huayin turned over slightly and looked at Xiao Zheng with clear eyes.
Xiao Zheng, who was chattering, closed his mouth. His expression was quite strange, but not dignified.
"I didn't give it."
Xiao Zheng, who was silent for a moment, said aloud.
"You didn't give it?"
Even if Lin Huayin was wise and talented, she couldn't predict such a result. In her expectation, Lin Chaotian might refuse Xiao Zheng. It might also be perfunctory. Or even delay. But she never thought that Xiao Zheng didn't give an invitation.
Why?
Lin Huayin was confused. She couldn't understand Xiao Zheng's behavior at all.
"When I went there, they were entertaining Chang Yishan." Xiao Zheng said very implicitly.
Lin Huayin frowned slightly, but her eyes were still cold, "What's the matter?"
In her eyes, Chang Yishan was just an insignificant person. He couldn't even be included in any trajectory of her life.
You gave it to you, he was in his. What conflict?
"He laughed at me for living off a woman before." Xiao Zheng smiled and explained. "I was afraid that he would laugh at me for clinging to your father's thigh again."
Lin Huayin didn't ask any more questions. There was no need to ask anymore.
She knew Xiao Zheng better than anyone else. She also knew what kind of person Xiao Zheng was. Did he care about being laughed at for living off a woman? He didn't care. Was he a man who cared about his face? He wasn't.
He went there to give face to the Lin family. Be polite. Why would he care about the ridicule of an outsider?
But at this moment, he used such a lame excuse to explain why he didn't send an invitation.
How smart and intelligent was Lin Huayin?
Even though she wasn't there herself, she could clearly understand the details of this dinner party that was prepared for Chang Yishan. Including everyone's reaction, mood, and even motivation.
She also knew that Xiao Zheng had endured the worst experience she could imagine during this trip. It was the most heart-rending cold violence.
Even if she wasn't there, she was sitting next to Xiao Zheng and saw his hesitation and uneasiness. She saw his loneliness and helplessness.
There was a fire in her heart in an instant.
Continuous anger!
