Rationally speaking, Lin Huayin was not qualified to blame Xiao Zheng for making things difficult, and the nightmare that night was not unilaterally carried out by Xiao Zheng. Even if the police were called or from a legal perspective, the two parties were at best having sex under the influence, and no one could blame them. But even so, Lin Huayin still restricted Xiao Zheng's freedom to a great extent. Including forcing him to sign a marriage agreement, including staying in his Xinao job, and not being allowed to leave his sight. If someone must be said to have been paranoid and extreme in handling this matter, it would definitely be Lin Huayin, not Xiao Zheng.
But emotionally speaking, Lin Huayin really couldn't control his emotions. Even as an adult woman, she knew that she had a great responsibility and should not vent her resentment on Xiao Zheng alone. But no matter how rational and powerful a woman is, she is still just a woman. How can she be strict with herself and be lenient to others at all times...
Moreover, judging from the time she spent with Xiao Zheng, except for the unpleasant incident that prompted them to live under the same roof, Xiao Zheng did not do many unpleasant things. Instead, he helped Lin Xiaozhu and himself many times.
Especially this time, if Xiao Zheng hadn't personally intervened, Lin Xiaozhu would have left Mingzhu and returned to Yanjing to study. At that time, not only Lin Xiaozhu will hate himself, but even his family members will think that he failed to take good care of his sister. Even if her family doesn't blame her, she still feels shameless.
it's good now. Xiao Zheng solved this problem for her, and finally the rain cleared and the sun cleared.
Lin Huayin, who was in a better mood, decided to go out to buy groceries and cook a sumptuous dinner for his family after finishing handling a few important documents. The first is to give Lin Xiaozhu, who is about to start a new life, a good meal so that she can concentrate on studying. The second thing is to express my gratitude to Xiao Zheng.
But before she could finish her official duties, an anonymous call came in.
"Who?" Lin Huayin answered the phone and asked in a calm tone.
"It's me, Shen Manjun." A charming and pleasant voice came from the other side of the phone.
Lin Huayin never thought that Shen Manjun would call him. Even though they had been classmates for four years, during the four years of college, the two people who never looked up and looked down rarely communicated with each other. Even if there are occasional conversations, there are too many arguments and little normal communication. After returning to China, apart from having contact at work, the two of them didn't even have the leisure to talk to each other.
Lin Huayin really couldn't figure out why Shen Manjun called him.
"Is something wrong?" After a moment of silence, Lin Huayin asked calmly.
"I want to trouble Mr. Lin about something." Shen Manjun tried to make her attitude gentle and non-aggressive.
"Say." Lin Huayin said coldly.
Shen Manjun is the general manager of the Empire State Building and has a working relationship with Lin Huayin, who is a tenant. It's not easy for her to refuse face to face. I can only ask casually.
"Xiao is at your home, right?" Shen Manjun asked tentatively.
"Xiao Zheng?" Lin Huayin immediately raised his eyebrows and said displeased. "How did you know he was in my house?"
Lin Huayin's cold face darkened. Analyzing every possibility: What did Xiao Zheng tell her? Or - Shen Manjun sent someone to investigate
If it's the former - Xiao Zheng's image in her heart will be greatly reduced. You know, from the beginning, she repeatedly emphasized to Xiao Zheng that the relationship between the two must not be made public. Fortunately for him, he was so close that he actually told Shen Manjun, who was beyond his reach. How can this not make Lin Huayin angry
Of course, Shen Manjun might also have investigated it himself. With this woman's temperament, it's not surprising at all to do something like this.
"I investigated it myself." Shen Manjun smiled. "As an old classmate, it shouldn't be too much for me to care about your life, right?"
Shen Manjun did not dare to offend Xiao Zheng for the time being, so he did not push the dirty water on Xiao Zheng to avoid making Xiao Zheng even more unhappy.
"Boring." Lin Huayin said indifferently.
"If he is at home, please transfer the call to Mr. Lin. I have something to call him." Shen Manjun said in a gentle manner. "It's a matter of life and death."
Lin Huayin said calmly: "If you have something to do, can't you just go to him directly?"
"His phone can't be reached—" Shen Manjun said slowly.
"So you came to him through me?" Lin Huayin asked coldly.
"I know about your relationship with him—"
"Since you know the relationship between me and him, why do you think I will help you find it?"
Shen Manjun suddenly changed the topic and said seriously: "What, are you afraid that you can't compete with me? Or, do you have no confidence in yourself?"
"Joke!" Lin Huayin said coldly. "If you fight, you have already lost."
"No woman will refuse an outstanding man like Xiao Zheng." Shen Manjun said straightforwardly. "Just because he is yours now, doesn't mean he will always be yours."
Lin Huayin sneered: "I have never seen a woman as shameless as you."
After that, she stopped entangled with Shen Manjun, got up and left the room, and went downstairs to find Xiao Zheng. She wanted to see if Xiao Zheng really dared to answer Shen Manjun's call in front of her!
At this time, Xiao Zheng was taking a shower and sitting in the restaurant eating the lunch left by Lin Huayin. Seeing Lin Huayin in thin pajamas coming downstairs, he hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, are you down? Do you want some more? I have to say, your cooking skills are simply amazing. I can't imagine not being able to eat in the future. The food you cook must be so empty.”
Lin Huayin looked at her with disdain and said, "Don't be hypocritical with me anymore. Take it, Shen Manjun is looking for you." After that, he handed over the phone.
"Shen Manjun?" Xiao Zheng's face changed slightly and he waved his hand. "If you don't answer, tell her not to come to me again. I have nothing to say to her."
Lin Huayin's eyes flashed with relief, and he leaned into his ear and asked, "Did you hear that? He said he had nothing to say to you."
"Give him the phone. I really have something important to ask him for." Shen Manjun said anxiously.
Lin Huayin saw that Shen Manjun, who had always been calm and composed, was so excited, and secretly wondered if there was really something urgent? He stopped making things difficult and handed the phone to Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng was originally unwilling to pick it up, but Lin Huayin forced the phone into his hand, which surprised Xiao Zheng.
Does this woman really want to give me to another woman
"Hello." Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and sat slowly on the chair.
"Xiao Zheng, I must make this clear to you!" Shen Manjun's anxious voice came from the other side of the phone. "What our Zhao family did was right, but it was definitely not the order given by my father!"
"Are you going to carry it off for Zhao Laosi?" Xiao Zheng asked coldly.
"How could it be me?" Shen Manjun said sincerely. "You know how I feel about you, how could I do this?"
"Who did that?" Xiao Zheng asked impatiently.
"It hasn't been found out yet, but trust me, I will give you an answer as soon as possible." Shen Manjun said word by word. "And, think about it, if my father really did it, would it be just such a simple revenge?"
"Maybe he is getting older and has become less courageous." Xiao Zheng said casually. "You want time, okay, I'll give it to you. You'd better give me accurate news before dinner. I don't have the patience to wait too long."
"I'll try my best!" Shen Manjun said solemnly.
"It's not that we try our best, but that we must." Xiao Zheng said indifferently. "You should know who I am. If you can't hand over someone, don't blame me for turning against you!"
