Dong Bijun's expression was extremely complicated. Her heart was also extremely chaotic.
Perhaps even she herself didn't know how conflicted she was.
She wasn't a woman without ideas. If she hadn't, she wouldn't have made it this far. If she hadn't, she wouldn't have done so many things behind Lin Chaotian's back. How could a woman who could see complicated numbers in detail be a brainless person? How could a woman who could chase Ye Yuhua out of the Lin family be a mediocre person?
But over the years, she had long been used to obeying Lin Chaotian. She obeyed Lin Chaotian's requests and didn't dare to overstep them. Of course, she also knew that this was the biggest shortcut for her to get to where she was today.
She listened to Lin Chaotian.
Everyone listened to her.
She was used to relying on Lin Chaotian and getting everything she wanted. But now, this man who had given her everything was going to take everything away from her.
On one hand, she had been relying and obedient for more than 20 years. On the other hand, she was unwilling and dissatisfied with the result!
So she was extremely confused and conflicted! She couldn't even tell what she was thinking and planning!
The dining room fell into endless silence. The oppressive atmosphere made Dong Bijun feel despair. It wasn't until Lin Chaotian finished smoking his second cigarette that Dong Bijun picked up the teacup on the table with trembling arms and took a sip of tea with trembling hands.
Then, she put down the teacup and looked up at Lin Chaotian.
Her eyes were still in awe, awe for Lin Chaotian from the bottom of her heart. However, her tone became a little strange. "Why? What did I do wrong? "
She didn't think she did anything wrong!
Even when Lin Huayin humiliated her in front of everyone, she didn't do anything too excessive. Why? Why did you take everything away from me?
Haven't I done enough for this family over the past 20 years? Can't these 20 years of feelings make up for a farce?
You can scold me and even hit me!
Why did you take everything away from me so ruthlessly?
Lin Chaotian opened the cigarette box and took out a third cigarette.
He lit it up and took a deep breath. His gaze was still calm, but there was a trace of indescribable dominance in it. "I can give it to you, and I can also take it away. Do you need to know why? "
"Of course!" Dong Bijun suddenly raised her voice. She gritted her teeth as she looked at the expressionless Lin Chaotian with an agitated expression. "I've been with you for more than twenty years! It wasn't easy for me to get to where I am today. You don't even give me a reason, and you want to take everything away from me? What do you take me for!? A doll? If you like it, you can hold it in your arms and play with it. If you don't like it, you can throw it aside. "
In the face of Dong Bijun's irrational questioning, Lin Chaotian's eyes were cold. He flicked the cigarette ash, raised his head slightly, and said calmly, "You weren't like this before."
After saying that, he stubbed out his cigarette.
He got up and walked slowly to the staircase.
He seemed to have no interest in talking to the irrational Dong Bijun. But when he stepped on the stairs, he finally stopped and turned his head to look at Dong Bijun, who was sitting in the dining room in despair. "She is my daughter. Not yours. "
…
Back home. Lin Huayin took up the task of making supper. Xiao Zheng helped to wash the vegetables. They returned home as usual every day, quiet and more and more in sync. Sometimes, with just one look from Lin Huayin, Xiao Zheng knew what she wanted. And then he handed it to her immediately. And with a subtle expression from Xiao Zheng, Lin Huayin also knew that she should put more chili in the stir-fried shredded beef.
Because Xiao Zheng loved spicy food.
The two of them made supper with great tacit understanding. Then they sat face to face in the dining room and ate supper peacefully.
At the birthday party, they only drank a few glasses of wine. They didn't even eat a piece of dessert or a mouthful of vegetables. Therefore, this so-called midnight snack was more like their dinner.
Lin Huayin acted as if she had just come home from work. She didn't bring any troubles or worries from work with her. Xiao Zheng also seemed to have successfully completed a profitable deal. There was not a trace of complacency on his face.
They ate supper calmly and calmly. Xiao Zheng even forgot to play Lin Huayin's favorite financial news.
Or, neither of them was in the mood to watch it.
To any outsider, they didn't look like they had just completed a desperate counterattack, nor did they have any intention of celebrating. They just ate dinner slowly. Even Xiao Zheng, who ate fast, only ate in small bites.
"Have some soup." Xiao Zheng scooped a bowl of simple tomato and egg soup and handed it to Lin Huayin.
Lin Huayin just reached out to take it and drank a few mouthfuls.
Xiao Zheng finished the last few mouthfuls of rice and silently took out an e-cigarette to smoke. After a long time, he squeezed out a calm smile. "Anyway, I should be responsible for this matter."
Hearing this, Lin Huayin seemed to find an excuse for her lack of appetite. She put down the rice that she didn't want to eat and said flatly, "How will you bear the responsibility?"
"It's me who can't stand her. It's me who encouraged you. I did everything. "Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly. "It's much easier to hate an outsider than a family member."
Outsider?
Lin Huayin was silent for a long time. Then, she said calmly, "I don't like to lie. I won't. "
After a pause, she continued, "Someone will tell her what she should know."
Someone will tell her what she should know. Then what shouldn't she know? Who will tell her?
Xiao Zheng said bitterly, "I've always been worried that she would be the fuse between you two. But now it seems that I am. "
"It'll be the same without you." Lin Huayin frowned slightly. "What's different is the process. The outcome won't change."
"We should think of some way to remedy it." Xiao Zheng looked a little helpless.
Remedy?
Both of them wanted to remedy it.
But how could they remedy it?
Once this happened, there was no solution.
Xiao Zheng knew that, and so did Lin Huayin.
Both of them fell into silence again. A long silence.
Bam bam bam!
Suddenly, there was a rapid and forceful knock on the door. From the sound, it didn't even sound like a hand knocking on the door, but a foot kicking the door.
But the two of them didn't feel the slightest bit angry because the door was kicked. On the contrary, the moment they heard the sound, their hearts tightened.
What's going to come, will come.
Xiao Zheng struggled to get up and slowly walked to the door. It took him nearly ten seconds to reach the door, and the knocking didn't stop. He could hear how much the person standing outside wanted to come in.
But during the whole process, the person outside didn't make a sound. Apart from the endless knocking, there wasn't even a shout.
Did this mean that the person standing outside the door no longer wanted to speak to the person inside the door?
But if he didn't want to talk, why did he come?
Xiao Zheng's heart was heavy, but he still raised his hand and opened the door …
