In order to win his sister-in-law's understanding, Xiao Zheng bought delicious late-night snacks on his way home and brainstormed no less than three grand excuses for himself before Shi Shiran returned home.
As soon as he entered the living room, Xiao Zheng saw Lin Xiaozhu sitting on the sofa. The girl's pretty face was tense, her arms were folded across her chest, and she was absent-mindedly watching the non-nutritious entertainment program. There was deep resentment emanating from his whole body. Even the lunch boxes placed randomly on the coffee table showed that the girl was in a very bad mood.
"Xiao Zhu! Look what delicious food my brother-in-law has bought for you!" Xiao Zheng introduced with a flattering look on his face. "Beef porridge, crab roe buns, and freshly made shrimp dumplings, paired with aged vinegar, they are simply delicious."
"Hmph. Do you still know how to come back?" Lin Xiaozhu asked Xiao Zheng with a sideways smile, neither cold nor hot.
"Is someone bullying you? Tell your brother-in-law quickly and see if I don't peel him off!" Xiao Zheng pretended to be angry and rolled up his sleeves. "Even my sister-in-law, Xiao Zheng, dares to bully her. She just doesn't know how to live or die!"
"Huh, you're asking even though you know it!" Lin Xiaozhu said with an unhappy face. "Who said you would pick me up after get off work? And who said you would treat me to Korean food and a midnight movie?"
Xiao Zheng slapped his forehead and pretended not to know: "Oh, Xiaozhu. You have really wronged my brother-in-law!"
"Unjustly accused?" Lin Xiaozhu said with a tight face. "Are you talking to me in your sleep?"
"Of course not! If my brother-in-law promises you, he will never give up even if he goes up against the knife or the frying pan! What's more, just having dinner and watching a movie with you?" Xiao Zhengyi said sternly. "But this time you really wronged my brother-in-law."
"Then tell me, why did I wrong you?" Lin Xiaozhu's eyes turned wild, and he stared at Xiao Zheng with his arms crossed.
"Actually, I shouldn't complain to you about what kind of grievances my brother-in-law suffered in the company. But now it concerns my brother-in-law's credibility. I can only tell you everything -" Xiao Zheng paused for a moment and looked at Lin Xiaozhu. "Xiao Zhu, do you know the Xin'ao Security Department?"
"Why do I know this? I'm not an employee of your company." Lin Xiaozhu curled his lips.
"Then you must know that there is a white boss in Xinao who is known as the Master of Extermination!" Xiao Zheng said plausibly.
"Bai Yujiao?" Lin Xiaozhu asked.
"Exactly this person!" Xiao Zheng Qiqing said. "This evil woman covers the sky with one hand in the security department and does whatever she wants. Not to mention a small security guard like me, even if the supervisors of other departments have trouble with her, they never give her face. She can be called the No. 1 tyrant in Xin'ao. You also know, brother-in-law, I I work in the security department and have to skip work all morning. How can she look down upon me? Well, when I first arrived at the company, she not only scolded me, but also asked me to work the night shift. I was exhausted until twelve o'clock in the evening. Come back. Alas, my brother-in-law also feels sorry for you and is worried that you won’t have a good dinner, so he drove to the Fifth Ring Road to buy you a late-night snack.”
Lin Xiaozhu's expression gradually improved upon hearing this, and he asked, "Then she doesn't know about your relationship with my sister? Does she even dare to touch you?"
"Hey, others don't know about your sister, don't you understand? She already looks down on me, so how can she let outsiders know about our relationship? That would be tantamount to public embarrassment for her." Xiao Zheng said with a tolerant look. . "As long as she is happy, what does it matter if I feel a little wronged?"
Lin Xiaozhu immediately said righteously: "Old Lin is so ungrateful! If she doesn't like you, why would she want to be with you? Brother-in-law, you are not bad, but you are afraid that you can't find a girlfriend?"
"You can't say that. Your sister just hates me, so she doesn't have any bad intentions." Xiao Zheng sighed softly and lit a pipe. "All hard work pays off. I believe that one day, your sister will understand my good intentions."
"Hmph! It's hard to find a man as good as my brother-in-law even if he lights a lantern. But she doesn't care at all. She really doesn't know how to be blessed when she is in the midst of blessings. Brother-in-law, you don't have to be afraid. I will definitely stand by your side in the future. If she dares to talk to you After we break up, I will introduce you to a girlfriend. She will be even more beautiful than her!"
"Prettier than your sister?" Xiao Zheng's eyes lit up. "Xiao Zhu, are you lying to your brother-in-law? Your sister looks like a fairy. How can your friend be as beautiful as your sister?"
"Even if she looks a little worse, at least she has a good temper and is gentle. She will never have a cold poker face towards everyone like her. It's annoying to look at her." Lin Xiaozhu said angrily.
"She is your sister after all. It's okay to talk in front of me, but don't say bad things about her in front of outsiders. It will be disrespectful to others." Xiao Zheng said solemnly.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid either." Lin Xiaozhu waved his hand and urged. "Brother-in-law, please give me something delicious! The takeout you ordered for dinner is so unpalatable that I'm starving to death!"
Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, opened the lunch boxes one by one, and said softly: "Eat, brother-in-law will pour you a glass of juice."
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Lin Xiaozhu said with a smile, and the depression that had accumulated all night disappeared.
After dinner, Lin Xiaozhu held Xiao Zheng's arm on the sofa watching TV and waiting for Lin Huayin. He asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, how do you and my sister know each other?"
Lin Xiaozhu never found a good opportunity to ask. Now that he had eaten and drank enough, he was no longer angry with Xiao Zheng. He leaned on Xiao Zheng's shoulder and asked: "My sister usually doesn't attend any friends' gatherings, and she doesn't go to places where there are three kinds of religions. You're just fooling around, you don't even have a friend you can talk to. How did you get along with my sister?"
"Have you forgotten that I am an employee of ENN? As the saying goes, those who are near the water and the towers first get the moon—"
"Stop fooling around." Lin Xiaozhu pinched Xiao Zheng's arm. "If you work at Xinao first, my sister will never get along with you."
"Why, you don't have confidence in my charm, brother-in-law?" Xiao Zheng said with a straight face.
"Hehe. Although I admire my brother-in-law very much, how can I not know my sister's personality? She has emphasized more than once that office romance is a taboo. Anyone who violates this iron rule will not be given face by the King of Heaven!" Lin Xiaozhu said slyly. "So brother-in-law, you'd better tell the truth."
Xiao Zheng had a look of disappointment on his face and sighed: "To tell you the truth. In fact, your sister and I met in a bar—"
"Bar?" Lin Xiaozhu said in disbelief. "Brother-in-law, are you kidding me? My sister goes to a bar?"
"What? Doesn't she usually go to bars?" Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette.
"Don't talk about bars, I haven't even seen her go to KTV." Lin Xiaozhu said.
"Then I don't know. Anyway, she and I met in a bar. Don't interrupt, wait until I finish talking and then analyze it-" Xiao Zheng paused and then said. "It was a night when everyone was drunk even if they were not drunk. Your sister had two drinks at the bar. That makes a person more beautiful than flowers, more fragrant and more beautiful. But you also know what your brother-in-law is like. Don't look at or hear anything inappropriate. That's how you behave. Basically, but some local ruffians who revolted didn't think so. They wanted to harass your sister on the spot. Brother-in-law, without saying a word, I rushed forward, protected your sister with my strong chest, and kept talking. In addition, we dealt with the group of little brats who overestimated their abilities. We staged an old-fashioned but classic hero saving the beauty. At that time, your sister couldn't hold it in anymore and insisted on being nice to me. But as a man of three obediences and four virtues, my brother-in-law Of course I can't agree casually. But your sister has fallen in love uncontrollably and insisted that I stay here temporarily, saying that it can quickly cultivate feelings. I couldn't refuse, so I had to accept your sister's kindness. "
After Xiao Zheng finished speaking, Lin Xiaozhu burst into laughter and burst into tears.
"Hey. Brother-in-law, I didn't tell you a joke. Are you laughing so exaggeratedly? Do you think I, brother-in-law, have a natural sense of humor that can make a serious matter laugh out loud?" Xiao Zheng asked in a deep voice.
"Hahaha—" Lin Xiaozhu smiled brightly and lay on Xiao Zheng's lap, breathing heavily. "Brother-in-law, stop talking, I'm going to die laughing-"
"Don't make trouble. Be serious." Xiao Zheng said with a straight face.
"If you don't laugh, don't laugh." Lin Xiaozhu waved his hand, but with the words "I feel so uncomfortable holding it in" written on his pretty face, he suppressed a smile. "You mean that my sister is chasing you?"
"Otherwise?" Xiao Zheng asked rhetorically. "Is it possible that I can still pursue her? Be serious, brother-in-law is really not joking with you."
"Pfft—" Lin Xiaozhu laughed out loud again and chuckled. "Brother-in-law, I strongly recommend you to join the film and television industry. Your future achievements will definitely be above those of Star Master."
Xiao Zheng said angrily: "Brother-in-law, I am a tall and handsome man, how can I become an actor? What if I am molested by a fan?"
His attitude was serious, but his words were so funny and absurd that Lin Xiaozhu almost burst out laughing. He hurriedly surrendered and said with a blushing face: "Brother-in-law, I'm convinced, please stop teasing me."
Xiao Zheng puffed out a puff of smoke and said coldly: "A scholar cannot be killed without humiliation. My brother-in-law will tell you today what punishment you will receive if you surrender without a fight."
After saying that, he raised his hands and attacked Lin Xiaozhu's waist. It made Lin Xiaozhu's delicate body tremble, rolling all over the sofa, and getting entangled with Xiao Zheng.
"What are you doing!?"
Suddenly, a cold and biting scolding came from the door. The two of them suddenly heard the angry shouts, trembled and rolled to the ground. The woman is on the bottom, the man is on top, the body and position are shameful.
