Originally, Xiao Zheng wanted to laugh at Lin Huayin, who was so old that he had just been in love with a man like himself. But then I thought about it, including Lan Xin, I had only talked to two women. There is no confidence at all at the moment. Lying on the bed, he said with satisfaction: "Go to sleep. I have to catch a flight tomorrow morning."
Lin Huayin turned over but didn't answer a word. It wasn't until she heard Xiao Zheng's even breathing that she opened her eyes slightly, her thoughts extremely complicated.
First love.
Is this my first love
It is very different from the thrills in film and television works or novels. Even Xiao Zheng's appearance is not outstanding. Of course, even Lin Huayin never thought about how handsome and tall his other half needed to be. But as a woman, a woman with outstanding appearance, Lin Huayin didn't want her partner to be good enough.
As for Xiao Zheng.
Apart from being not handsome enough and having an outstanding temperament, his talents and abilities seemed to be of a very ordinary kind. Nothing extraordinary about it.
It was such a man who took away his first time. All firsts.
Originally, Lin Huayin was unwilling and very angry. But with the contact with Xiao Zheng, she discovered that she no longer hated Xiao Zheng, and she was not unwilling at all. On the contrary, she was used to Xiao Zheng appearing in her life without any discomfort.
With this thought in mind, Lin Huayin turned around slightly and looked at Xiao Zheng, who was sleeping soundly, with a calm but not indifferent look. The corners of his lips involuntarily raised a subtle arc.
This man is his pillow.
The more I watch it, the more I watch it. .
"Handsome."
Xiao Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Zheng with a half-smile.
Lin Huayin, who thought Xiao was sleeping, suddenly saw this guy open his eyes, which was no less than someone suddenly scaring her from behind. He trembled all over and said angrily: "Asshole.
…
Aunt Dong personally sent the three of them to the airport. Lin Chaotian did not send his daughters because of his work, but only made a condolence call to Lin Xiaozhu. Obviously, in Lin Chaotian's eyes, even if he offended Lin Xiaozhu just last night, he is still easier to coax than Lin Huayin.
"Azheng. Xiaozhu is used to being naughty and mischievous. If you have time, watch her more. Don't let her do anything wrong in Mingzhu." Aunt Dong said softly.
"Don't worry, Aunt Dong, I will keep a good eye on him." Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
"Hey. Am I that disobedient?" Lin Xiaozhu said dissatisfied. "In a few months, I will be eighteen years old. In ancient times, I would have been a mother at this age."
"That's a bad mother, too." Aunt Dong glared at Lin Xiaozhu, feeling both pity and reluctance. "Listen more to your sister when you go to Mingzhu. Study hard and stop doing weird things and causing trouble. You really think your dad doesn't know if you get into trouble in Mingzhu. She just thinks that every time you get into trouble, she will beat you and beat you to death." "
Lin Xiaozhu shrank his neck and asked anxiously, "My sister told him."
"Even if everyone hides it for you. As long as your dad wants to know, there is nothing he doesn't know." Aunt Dong advised. "Don't make your dad angry again. I don't want to feed you every day in the future."
"Don't worry, Mom." Lin Xiaozhu said proudly, holding Xiao Zheng's arm with one hand and Lin Huayin's with the other. "With these two watching over me, what trouble can I get into?"
Aunt Dong smiled, nodded, and said with a smile: "Have a nice trip."
"Bye Mommy."
"Goodbye, aunt."
…
When the three of them got off the plane and returned to the Pearl, Xiao Zheng stretched himself and said with emotion: "I am still comfortable in my own territory."
"Tch, are you uncomfortable staying in my house?" Lin Xiaozhu said viciously. "Believe it or not, I'll tell daddy."
"What I mean is that if your father wants to beat you in Mingzhu, I, a local gangster, will definitely not do it. Believe it or not, I will find more than a hundred gangsters every minute to beat your father on the street." Xiao Zheng said fiercely.
"Hehe..." Lin Xiaozhu joked. "Don't say more than a hundred, even if you find more than a thousand, no one would dare to touch my father's hair."
"Don't talk too much." Xiao Zheng said in a deep voice. "You have never heard the saying that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local coward. What's more, my brother Azheng is not in vain."
The two argued fiercely, but Lin Huayin left the airport without looking away. Board the car prepared for them by the company.
"Sister. I don't have class until tomorrow. Why don't you play with me for another day today." Lin Xiaozhu said coquettishly as the car entered the city.
"There is something wrong with the company." Lin Huayin ruthlessly rejected Lin Xiaozhu's plea with just four words.
"Brother-in-law..." Lin Xiaozhu looked at Xiao Zheng eagerly.
"You have to agree with your sister." Xiao Zheng said cautiously.
Since then, I have vaguely felt Lin Xiaozhu's attitude. Xiao Zheng had to be on guard. And forcefully suppressed the evil thoughts of enjoying the blessings of everyone. Of course, on the other hand, Brother Azheng really has no interest in girls under the age of eighteen. He had to keep a distance from Lin Xiaozhu in both public and private matters. Even if it offends my sister-in-law. It can only be said that people cannot help themselves in the world.
"Sister..." Lin Xiaozhu turned his target to Lin Huayin again.
"Go home early." Lin Huayin told Xiao Zheng before getting out of the car. It can be regarded as agreeing to Lin Xiaozhu's request.
"Thank you, sister. Good go, sister."
Lin Xiaozhu said with a very dignified attitude.
As soon as Lin Huayin left, Lin Xiaozhu couldn't wait to ask: "Brother-in-law, where are we going to play? Do you want to have a big meal first and then have a good time."
Xiao Zheng said with a headache: "What do you want to eat?"
"Everything is fine. BBQ hot pot and Western food, I won't choose." Lin Xiaozhu said with a cheerful smile. It seemed that as long as he could be with Xiao Zheng, he would be happy even if he was eating a bowl of noodles.
"Where's the home-cooked food?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"No problem." Lin Xiaozhu nodded frequently.
"That's fine."
What Xiao Zheng wanted to go was not to go somewhere else, but to really eat home-cooked food. Zhao's home cooking.
During the past few days in Yanjing, Shen Manjun called Xiao Zheng more than once. Although the problem was not clearly stated, it is easy to see from the simple conversation between the two that Shen Manjun is under tremendous pressure. The pressure came from Fourth Master Zhao not waking up as scheduled, as well as the dual pressure from the outside and the inside.
According to the doctor's calculations, given the severity of Mr. Zhao's injury, he should wake up within a week. Even if he can't fully wake up, he should be getting better. But now a full week has passed. But Fourth Master Zhao showed no sign of waking up. Not only did he not, but he became critically ill several times. If it weren't for the Zhao family's personal doctor's excellent medical skills, he might not even be able to save his life.
"Go to Zhao's house." Lin Xiaozhu said with a blushing face. "Is it Mr. Zhao's house?"
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng nodded.
"Wow." Lin Xiaozhu said with eyes shining. "Fourth Master Zhao wants to treat us to dinner."
"It's Mr. Zhao's daughter who invited us to dinner." Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
"Fourth Master Zhao also has a daughter." Lin Xiaozhu wondered. "I do not know how."
"I only found out recently." Xiao Zheng smiled. "going or not."
"Of course." Lin Xiaozhu chuckled. "Master Zhao is such a heroic figure, and his daughter must be no ordinary person either."
The car drove all the way into Zhao's house. Even at the gate, Xiao Zheng smelled an oppressive and suffocating smell. Chilling, cold, and heavy.
Without Fourth Master Zhao, the Zhao family is like an irrational savage beast that may set itself on fire at any time, and may also devour others at any time. It's like a time bomb that will explode suddenly without knowing when, which is disturbing.
One can imagine the great pressure Shen Manjun was under to survive in such an environment.
"You are Mr. Zhao's daughter." Lin Xiaozhu stared at Shen Manjun who went out to greet him, and asked incredulously.
"You still don't know my identity." Shen Manjun said with a forced smile. "Or maybe you don't always think that I am an immoral woman."
"How can the eldest brother's daughter be so serious?" Lin Xiaozhu curled his lips and said, grabbing Xiao Zheng's arm. "Brother-in-law, let's go. I don't care about eating her food."
Xiao Zheng smiled and pulled the stubborn Lin Xiaozhu, and smiled slowly: "Don't worry. In addition to bringing you to eat, I also hope that you can give full play to your genius mind and help us analyze the current situation. The structure of the Pearl Underground World .”
"What." Lin Xiaozhu said with eyes shining. "Let me analyze the pattern of the underground world."
"That's right." Xiao Zheng nodded with a smile. "I believe you will not let us down."
"Of course." Lin Xiaozhu blinked and said. "And I can definitely give constructive advice."
"Then let's go in and eat. I'm almost starving to death." Xiao Zheng strode into Zhao's house. It's like entering a deserted land.
It is said to be home-cooked food, but this is the first time Shen Manjun invites Xiao Zheng to his home for dinner, so how can he really only prepare some ordinary dishes.
Three people, a big table of food, and a few bottles of good red wine. Not to mention that there are only three people, even if there are ten people at a table, it is still enough to eat. Xiao Zheng and Lin Xiaozhu were not polite when they came to the table, and ate happily like a storm. It seemed like I had been hungry for several days without eating. But it's not their fault. When they were in Yanjing, they really didn't feel comfortable eating with Lin Chaotian. Especially after receiving a beating from Lin Chaotian, Lin Xiaozhu, who was already carrying the lively atmosphere, became decadent. Even Xiao Zheng was embarrassed to eat too much. I basically didn’t have a full meal in two days. Now that he had returned to Mingzhu, Xiao Zheng naturally ate like a wolf and a tiger with familiar dishes.
Shen Manjun, who was in a low spirit, looked at Xiao Zhenglin and Xiaozhu eating happily, and her charming eyes were full of satisfaction. She smiled and said, "If it's delicious, eat more. If it's not enough, I'll do it again." "
"Ah. You did it." Lin Xiaozhu was chewing on a piece of sauce-roasted chicken drumstick with relish and said in disbelief. "This big table of dishes was all prepared by you."
"I don't look like a woman who can cook." Shen Manjun asked.
"You are like a woman who uses her sex to seduce men." Lin Xiaozhu said bluntly. "It's not like a woman who uses her cooking skills to keep a man's stomach."
"I have no intention of using my cooking skills to keep a man's stomach." Shen Manjun smiled charmingly, but she said she was a cruel woman. "If you really want to keep a man, just break his legs."
"You are really vicious." Lin Xiaozhu criticized Shen Manjun's style of doing things mercilessly while eating the food cooked by Shen Manjun. Tutted. "As expected of the leading brother's daughter. As expected, the tiger father has no dog daughter."
"I'll just think you're complimenting me." Shen Manjun took a sip of red wine and cheered up.
In the past few days, she had received too much information that she was not usually interested in, and she had participated in too many discussions that she usually did not want to participate in. After a long time, not only was the body tired, but the spirit was also severely weakened. As soon as I close my eyes, I have crazy nightmares. I also dreamed of the old man being killed several times. So she nervously arranged nearly a dozen security guards for Fourth Master Zhao. And no one can get close except the designated doctor and Zhao Qingyun. Prevent accidents from happening.
Now, Shen Manjun not only has to guard against external enemies, but also internal members. In addition to Chen Chong, there is also Li Mubai.
"Eager to see us, has something happened again?" Xiao Zheng asked after eating and drinking, lighting a cigarette.
"Yeah." Shen Manjun nodded.
When Lin Xiaozhu saw that he was about to discuss business, he reluctantly put down the drumstick, sat upright and said, "Can you tell me what happened specifically? As the saying goes, only when you know yourself and the enemy can you fight without danger."
"Fourth Master Zhao has been assassinated. He is still in a coma. Outside there is Ye Shiguan, a powerful enemy. Inside there is Chen Chong who is coveting the power of the Zhao family." Xiao Zheng puffed out a puff of smoke. "That's the situation right now."
"Holy shit." Lin Xiaozhu was shocked and said tremblingly. "Master Zhao was assassinated. Why didn't I receive any news?"
Xiao Zheng said: "This matter is currently kept strictly confidential. Except for the core members of the Zhao family and a very small number of top eldest brothers, few people know about it. It is only announced to the outside that Fourth Master Zhao is ill."
"No wonder." Lin Xiaozhu nodded. He looked at Shen Manjun and said. "So what exactly is the situation now?"
"Li Mubai told me the day before yesterday that Chen Chong planned to win over him. Let him help Chen Chong put me under house arrest and seize the Zhao family by force." Shen Manjun said with a sad look on his face.
"Shameless Chen Chong." Lin Xiaozhu said angrily. "Fourth Master trusts him so much, but I didn't expect that he would actually plot to seize the power of the Zhao family. He is worse than a pig or a dog."
"What did Li Mubai say?" Xiao Zheng asked the key point.
"He said he refused." Shen Manjun said.
"Of course he won't say he accepted it." Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. "Then what."
"He said he hopes that I will temporarily step aside and let him lead the Zhao family. After Chen Chong is eradicated, normalcy will return." Shen Manjun said worriedly.
"You agreed." Xiao Zheng asked casually.
"No." Shen Manjun said with a serious expression. "I just don't like fighting and killing, but I'm not stupid."
"You can agree." Xiao Zheng said in a surprising tone, word for word. "Give him all the leadership. Tell everyone openly and honestly that the Zhao family is now led by Li Mubai. Anyone who disobeys is trying to rebel. And you, not only have to retreat behind the scenes, but you don't even have to interfere with what he does. Treat him Trust it 100 percent. Let him go and do it."
