Xiao Chi couldn't take it anymore, so he had to leave first.
What he was going to talk about was the land in Wubao Mountain, and he made an agreement with Qi Kai at the Yanshi Hotel, which he often visited. The bureau was saved by Qi Kai, and the consumption level of Yanshi Hotel seems to be not so easy for him to afford at the moment, but it is obvious that Qi Kai still does not have a clear understanding of his current economic situation. After Xiao Chi arrived at the scene , I still saw a table of abalone and ginseng wings as usual.
This can be considered an enemy meeting. Since the establishment of Centrino Real Estate, Xiao Chi has never cooperated with each other. The two actually grew up in the same college, but they never dealt with each other since they were young. Later, there was something like Xiao Miao.
Qi Kai was obviously a little guilty. After seeing Xiao Chi, he coughed before trying to pretend to be confident. He stood up and greeted casually, "Mr. Xiao, sit, sit, sit."
Xiao Chi looked at him calmly, and couldn't help thinking of his father's sigh - "I can't just watch him die."
The same kind of rice raises a hundred kinds of people, it's really a truth.
Xiao Chi didn't make things difficult for this person, and just sat down. He was still furious when he remembered the pitiful appearance of his younger sister who had been kissed by Qi Kai before and was so frightened that she cried when she came back, and even went abroad for a few years to avoid it. It's just that he didn't like to beat the underdogs, and the crazy revenge started as early as a few years ago when Qi Kai was in the limelight, and it also achieved obvious results.
There is a secret rule for the children of the compound - conflicts between peers cannot be reported to the elders to resolve.
Xiao Chi can also make the other party shy away from Xiao Miao by his own strength alone - Xiao Miao has been back in China for so long, almost everyone of her age in the compound has seen it, but Qi Kai has not dared to come to the door.
It's just that his own revenge is one thing. Now that the other party is seeking his own death, it's another thing. Xiao Chi is not happy with Qi Kai's current state. When the Qi family's parents were still alive, they were also quite kind elders in his childhood.
Xiao Chi looked around the restaurant and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Shi didn't come?"
Qi Kai also finds it strange. Normally, Shi Nanxing would never give up on such an occasion. The other party had cooperated with Xiao Chi on the shares of Sifeng Plaza before. It stands to reason that with such a large share of equity transfer, the two sides of the transaction are bound to accumulate a lot of friendship, but this time Shi Nanxing borrowed money everywhere, and it seems that he has no intention of opening his mouth to Centrino Real Estate. In today's negotiation on the ownership of Wubaoshan shares, the other party even shied away in every possible way. When Qi Kai asked the reason, Shi Nanxing's face stinks and frightened. He only said that he would have indigestion when he saw Xiao Chi's face.
Of course, this can't be repeated according to the chapter, so Qi Kai just replied: "My uncle is not feeling well today, but Mr. Xiao can rest assured that I have full control over the equity of the Wubaoshan project."
Physical discomfort
Xiao Chi smiled inexplicably: "That's right."
In fact, he had already found out who the messenger was behind the photos he tried so hard to send to his home a few years ago, and it wasn't even himself who did it - Xiao Chi didn't care about this at all, and wished the whole world would know that he and Lin Jing Zhe is a pair, so when he doesn't stick with Lin Jing Zhe, he can shock the bees and waves around the other side. The manpower to investigate was sent by Xiao Shenxing.
The elders have more concerns. No matter whether the other party's methods are effective or not, they always want to know exactly who is behind the eyes and wants to make trouble for their son. It seems to be difficult to check, but it is very simple to say, the problem is not in the delivery link - the other party is very cautious, the three photo delivery points have chosen different cities, the farthest one even takes four or five hours to arrive by car, and the outer envelope and The content is also handled extremely well, leaving no clues, and even if it is handed over to a professional criminal investigation police, I am afraid that no definite conclusion can be drawn.
The problem was with… the person who took the photo.
In the recent circle of underground gangsters in Yan City, there is a very popular private detective.
This private detective can be said to be extremely high-profile. When he sees people, he shows off his achievements that he earned 100,000 yuan a day by taking pictures. Before showing off to others, he has to secretly tell them: "I only tell you this secret. , don't spread it out." As a result, he relied on his own big mouth to make the matter known to everyone.
He refused to reveal the content of the photos he took, only saying that he was a professional detective, and he had to show his professionalism to keep secrets for his employers.
But based on the employer's information he leaked at the moment - including the other party's admission to the hospital, physical characteristics, and detailed behavior, people who are familiar with it can almost instantly guess that the stupid and rich employer is Shi Nanxing.
Xiao Chi was not surprised at all, but after Xiao Shenxing got the result quickly, he was speechless for a long time.
"Is he a fool?" Xiao Shenxing asked his son so seriously at the time, "I spent 100,000 yuan to find such a scumbag to work with."
Xiao Chi was also very confused, mainly confused why Shi Nanxing took the intimate photos of him and Lin Jingzhe and why he had to spend a lot of money to find some kind of private detective. Although 100,000 is not much, it is not a small sum of money. He and Lin Jingzhe have never covered it up. Shi Nanxing wants evidence, so why not just bring a camera and take pictures
However, Shi Nanxing's past misdeeds have already left a deep imprint on the homes of these people in the compound. The father and son discussed for a long time and did not understand anything.
However, people with normal brain circuits will not go to smuggling and drug trafficking.
Xiao Chi pondered for a while, then cut to the chase with Qi Kai and talked about the land at the foot of Wubao Mountain.
This piece of land belongs to the south of the city. Although the location is relatively remote, the area is very large, with a total area of more than 400,000 square meters. Compared with the previous land kings in the north of the city, it is only slightly smaller. Recently, with the rapid development of the north of the city, the price of land has risen. If the land is so large, if it were placed in the north, the value must have risen by at least 30% compared to when it was taken. It's a pity that the two cities, the north and the south, are far away from each other. Although the land in the south of the city has risen a little in recent years with the increase in population, it is far less enthusiastic than the north of the city.
Therefore, the normal market valuation of this land is probably in the range of 60 million to 70 million.
This is already lower than Qi Kai's bidding price, and what's even worse is that there is a funeral home and crematorium next to it!
Developers of other large and small real estate projects near Wubaoshan have begun to cut prices one after another, and Zhenxiong Real Estate is of course no exception. Recently, due to Shi Nanxing's urgent need for money, the shares of this land were sold. The latest valuation of Zhenxiong Real Estate's marketing department is that it can only recover less than 50 million at most.
More than 40 million, which has shrunk by half.
But even so, there are still few who are willing to take over.
Xiao Chi used the shortcomings of the land to bargain with him: "The equity and debt issues in Wubao Mountain are too complicated. The bank still has more than 90 million loans to be liquidated for this land."
"It belongs to Qiqing Real Estate, and it has nothing to do with us. The loan was also obtained in the name of their company, and the procedure is not legal. We just transferred the development rights to them. How can the bank approve the loan without investigating clearly? Qi Kai spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, the bank doesn't dare to come blindly. Anyway, the money from Qiqing's real estate will definitely not be enough. After they go bankrupt and liquidate, the bank will also take action to recover the land. At that time... cough cough ."
He spoke so eloquently that he almost said, "When the crematorium and funeral home are built, the price of this land is estimated to be lower than it is now." He hurriedly swallowed it back and glanced at Xiao Chi's face. .
Xiao Chi lowered his eyes and was tugging at the string of beads in his hand. There seemed to be a special barrier around him that separated him from the outside world.
Qi Kai was not sure whether the other party had reacted or not, so he refreshed his mind and slammed people: "Anyway, if you are willing to take over now, you have also solved some of the debt problems for them in advance. No matter how stupid the bank is, it will know the reason for stopping losses in time."
After he finished speaking, he watched Xiao Chi's reaction nervously. Xiao Chi didn't know if he was listening to him. He kept his eyes down, calm like a sea without waves. He suddenly said, "So during the transaction process, does Centrino go directly with the bank?"
"Of course not!" Qi Kai hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, we and Qiqing Real Estate will definitely pay for the loan, but the repayment date is at the end of this year, and there is still a period of time."
Xiao Chi looked up at his appearance, Qi Kai's eyes flickered, his expression was tense, and his eyes were covered with blue and black, obviously there was something extremely anxious, which made him unable to rest for a long time.
"According to the current situation, the bank won't mind withdrawing the loan in advance." Xiao Chi asked, "Mr. Qi will use the money for other purposes, right?"
Qi Kai was shocked for a moment, his expression was blank for a few seconds, but he reacted immediately, pretending to smile blankly: "What are you talking about, Mr. Xiao, money doesn't lie on the books. The longer the better."
Xiao Chi's sharp eyes were only exceptionally sharp in the past, but now it seems to penetrate the heart. He stared at Qi Kai's embarrassed smiling face, and when the beads in his hands collided, there was a subtle sound, exuding a vast aura, heavy and heavy. The town is on Qi Kai's body.
The speechless silence between the two sides lasted for several minutes. Xiao Chi didn't like to talk at all, and Qi Kai, who had always been tongue-in-cheek and wanted to be in the center of the crowd, was also strangely silent.
After a while, Xiao Chi sighed softly, stood up, and walked out of the table.
Qi Kai seemed to be in a daze, and immediately returned to his senses, and said in a voiceless voice: "Mr. Xiao..."
"Tomorrow afternoon, Zhenxiong will bring someone to Centrino to sign the transfer contract." Xiao Chi's footsteps did not stop because of his voice, he went straight to the door, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly turned his head and stared at it. Qi Kai's eyes.
Qi Kai stopped in fright, he almost thought that Xiao Chi was going to beat him again or something.
"Mr. Qi." But Xiao Chi only spoke in the end, his voice was very low, like the night bell of a temple banging every evening: "For the sake of your mother making dresses for Xiao Miao before, I advise you."
"The sea of suffering is boundless, turning back is the shore."
After the other party said this, in Qi Kai's stunned reaction, he seemed to remember something, raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right."
He took out a large, thick envelope from the pocket of his coat, reached out and handed it over: "please tell President Shi for me, don't keep doing these useless things if you have nothing to do."
Xiao Chi left as calmly as when he came, leaving the whole table untouched.
The business seemed to be negotiated, but Qi Kai was not happy at all, he just sat blankly in this huge box, looking at the clear sky outside the window.
Years later, Yan City is still shrouded in the cold of winter, and the world is barren.
A bell burrowed into his chest and hummed repeatedly.
Qi Kai suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at a place, and even got up and leaned closer to the window to look.
The bald leaves in front of the hotel seemed to have withered at the top of a towering tree in winter, and a little green vitality seemed to emerge.
But the color was too vague, Qi Kai felt tired after watching it for a while.
He didn't know why he was suddenly very weak, sat on the sofa tiredly, and subconsciously opened the big envelope that Xiao Chi asked him to send to Shi Nanxing.
He almost jumped at the sight of the photos, and when he recalled what Xiao Chi had just said, he suddenly realized that the person who got these photos was probably Shi Nanxing.
Does Shi Nanxing know the secret of Lin Jingzhe and Xiao Chi? When did he know
Qi Kai didn't know about this, but for a moment it seemed that many questions that he didn't understand before had been interpreted. The other party asked himself to find a private detective and arranged for the company's driver to leave the province suddenly. Before that, he also wanted to find someone who could enter Xiao Chi's father's unit.
When Qi Kai came home, he saw Shi Nanxing who was playing chess with his grandfather, and had a headache for a while.
Shi Nanxing immediately asked him, "How's the cooperation going?"
"It's done." Qi Kai put on a tired smile in the eyes of the other party, "I'll go upstairs to rest first."
He returned to the room, held the envelope, and stood there hesitating for a long time. There were footsteps outside the door, and he immediately opened the drawer and put the envelope inside.
As soon as Shi Nanxing entered the door, he saw Qi Kai lying on the bed with a vacant face and spreading out his limbs.
Excited by the answer just now, he stepped forward and asked, "Don't pretend to be dead, and tell the situation quickly!"
Qi Kai sighed and said, "It's done, Xiao Chi means that tomorrow we can bring someone to Centrino to sign the contract."
In Shi Nanxing's unconcealed look of joy, after hesitating for a long time, Qi Kai asked the question he dared not speak in a low voice: "Uncle, why don't we just let Xiao Chi go directly with the bank?"
"Are you ill? What about Shapeng without the money? Jiang Qia has to worry about the bank's loan. Let's pay it back at least at the end of the year." , also sat down on the bed, and said, "Hurry up and let the people in the company start preparing. By the way, contact Jiang Chacha quickly and let her cooperate with us to go to the bank to go through the procedure."
Xiao Chi received a call on the road, and Qi Kai finally decided to let Zhenxiong handle the shares instead of the bank.
After returning home, he told Xiao Shenxing the news. Xiao Shenxing held the teacup in silence for a long time. He just sighed and silently got up and went upstairs.
Xiao Chi watched his father's back disappear behind the study door, then turned to look for Lin Jingzhe.
Lin Jingzhe was playing with Xiao Miao on the computer. To be precise, the two were discussing Xiao Miao's investment in the website.
Lin Jingzhe was surprised by Xiao Miao's advanced vision. Regardless of profit or loss, the other party could think of investing in the Internet industry in this era, which is already quite a remarkable innovation. What's more, the field of online creation is not a cold bench that no one cares about in later generations. With the transition from PC to mobile, this industry will only become more and more popular.
The changes of the times are often more reflected in the details of ordinary people's lives, and the one chosen by more people is usually the winner of the moment. People in this era may never have imagined that these highly influential newspapers and magazines would be squeezed into such a difficult living environment by a faster network in later generations. Lin Jingzhe is also a member of ordinary people in life. Compared with the old way of life, he is more willing to choose new technology that is more convenient for his life like most people. Instead of digital TV, the Internet connects him every step of the way, from entering the apartment door until going to bed. Computer tablets and smart phones have completely replaced 80% of the things that people have to carry in the past, not to mention the paper books that are very rare on the bookshelf and have time to read when they are free. He even has money and keys. No need to carry!
These changes have quietly penetrated into the details of his life, so that he can't recall a precise time now. In the past, he was just a follower of that era, but now, he has become a member of the new century!
Xiao Miao's age is not too old, but she has been studying in university for several years. Therefore, after Xiao Chi left in the morning, not only did he not leave, but he stayed to have a profound conversation with Xiao Miao, and asked the other party's ideas for investment and entrepreneurship in detail.
Under questioning, he couldn't help but sigh and admit that none of the children who grew up in the compound are really simple.
Although his own sister, Shen Tiantian, was obedient, simple, and shy in this life, and far less sinister and ruthless than when she confronted him tit-for-tat in her previous life, she also talked to him about investment and career topics a few days ago at a young age. Xiao Chi's younger sister, Xiao Miao, looks innocent and does not eat the fireworks of the world, and seems to be indifferent to the world, but when it comes to business planning, she is also sharp and precise.
They have established a complete set of rules even before the capital has entered, and they have recruited a considerable number of producers for the forum on the premise of no interest. Xiao Miao called up the data from the backstage of the forum to the forum. He sees that the flow of people in the current small forum is already considerable.
The forum is in the form of postings. Lin Jingzhe couldn't understand the green color and layout. The hotter posts on the front page seemed to be some of the most popular books at the moment. Lin Jingzhe thought that the titles of the books looked strange and narrowed his eyes. Wanting to understand the small characters suffixed with the name, Xiao Miao immediately cut open the interface with a blushing face.
"Brother Jingzhe." Xiao Miao asked him with a blushing face, "What do you think of our forum?"
On Xiao Chi's side, she never dared to ask, and Xiao Chi was definitely not as silly and sweet as her brother Jing Zhe, he would definitely click on the post to read the content inside, and he would be beaten whenever he finished reading Xiao Miao.
Lin Jingzhe's original curiosity about the content was immediately distracted by this cold-tempered younger sister's rare dependence and trust. In his heart, he felt a fatherly love for this little girl who was almost the same age as him. His kind eyes were full of encouragement: "Very good, do it with confidence and boldness. It is rare that you are so enthusiastic about an independent cause at a young age. I will definitely support you."
This was the first time that Xiao Miao heard encouragement directly from someone else, her face turned red and she whispered, "But Brother Jing Zhe, the initial funds for our website have not yet been secured."
Lin Jingzhe asked, "How far is it?"
Xiao Miao replied hesitantly, "It's still... 1 million."
She had beaten Xiao Chi enough for this million just now, but Lin Jingzhe waved his hand directly: "You guys go back and write a short-term development plan, and give it to me next time, as long as you have perseverance and perseverance, this money I can invest in you!"
This is a younger sister, a sweet and soft younger sister like Tiantian, let alone a million, even if you want 10 million? Want something? buy buy buy!
He thought for a while that before leaving the Shen family, Shen Tiantian acted like a spoiled child and said that he was a bad brother and stinky brother refused to take the time to take her out. He felt ashamed for a while. Just buy some beautiful new clothes. When the shopping mall in the complex building is completed, why not just give the little girl an unlimited card? No no no, this is too limited, why don't you just set up a pocket money fund for Tiantian!
good idea!
Lin Jingzhe showed a gratified expression for the way she was jumping and cheering like a little sparrow in her imagination, but Xiao Miao on the side was already sluggish.
A million! ! !
Lin Jingzhe just now... promised
Why am I so illusory with this feeling of being responsive
Xiao Miao had never heard that Shen Tiantian was showing off how much her brother bought this and that and how much he had promised to do, but it was the first time in her life that she experienced such a moment of being spoiled without explanation. An indescribable feeling of refreshment climbed up her scalp along her heels, and she finally realized what kind of life Shen Tiantian lived!
So fucking envious! ! !
Xiao Miao was about to cry, but she tried her best to endure it, but her eyes were already full of tears: "Brother Jingzhe...Brother..."
Lin Jingzhe came back to his senses. Seeing that she was crying again for some unknown reason, he was taken aback and wiped her tears with a tissue.
He just thought that Xiao Miao was frightened by his warning just now, so he hurriedly calmed down: "I don't mean that, don't be under pressure if you lose money, it's inevitable that you will fall over when you are doing business for the first time. I mean you guys Now that you have chosen this industry, you can’t just give up because of any difficulties in the future, you must persevere…”
It's okay if he doesn't comfort him. Once comforted, Xiao Miao intuitively feels the inhuman life that she has lived in the past, and all her envy and grievances towards Shen Tiantian emerge for a while, and she pounces on Lin Jingzhe's broad embrace. , almost wanted to cry a lot.
But at this moment, the door of the room was pushed open.
A familiar breath and momentum poured into the room from the gap, Xiao Chi came in with a blank face, and then stretched out his hand—
She grabbed Xiao Miao's neckline and threw it aside.
The next second he pulled Lin Jingzhe from his seat, hugged him, buried his head beside Lin Jingzhe's head, and breathed hard.
Aware that his mood was not right, Lin Jingzhe hurriedly hugged him, gently stroked his back with one hand, combed his breath, and then asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? What happened? Tell me?"
Xiao Chi's heavy heart was finally dispelled by his clear voice, like the warm sunshine coming out from a thick fog, he sighed deeply, he can't tell Lin Jingzhe about this, knowing that it is not good for the other party, it is too dangerous . So he just shook his head in silence.
Lin Jingzhe didn't ask any further questions, he just hugged Xiao Chi silently and gave him silent support.
Xiao Miao was almost thrown into the air by her brother's hand just now, fell into the bed and was stunned for a long time before she could react. Ma Da held Lin Jingzhe's Xiao Chi, who was suspected of acting like a spoiled child—
What is this brother!
Really more and more fake and shoddy!
She got up angrily, pulled Xiao Chi's sleeve and tugged, but couldn't pull it apart.
Xiao Miao angrily kicked her brother's heel, but still didn't get a response, just a few seconds later, Xiao Chi's voice came from Lin Jingzhe's neck, low and cold: "Will you try another kick? "
Lin Jingzhe, whose vision was blocked, said, "???"
Xiao Chi straightened up from Lin Jingzhe's embrace, his gloomy mood had improved a lot, and he complained to Lin Jingzhe very treacherously, "She kicked me just now."
Lin Jingzhe looked at Xiao Miao, who was cold and well-behaved beside him with a blushing face in surprise, just wanted to say if you made a mistake.
Hurrah! Even complained! It's so stinky and shameless! New hatred and old hatred welled up in her heart, Xiao Miao flew and kicked her brother on the back: "You stinky brother!! You big bad guy!!!"
"Say it again?!" Xiao Chi's expression changed, he immediately turned around and pinched Xiao Miao's neck and pressed the other party into the soft bed, he stretched his arm and made Xiao Miao unable to fight back, with the other hand holding Xiao Miao The neatly tied ponytail was untied and messed up, "Say it again? Do you have the guts to say it again?!"
"Ahhhh!!!!" Xiao Miao screamed and turned her head and opened her mouth to bite her brother's hand.
Lin Jingzhe was stunned: "..."
He stared blankly beside him for a long time before he suddenly came back to his senses and rushed to grab Xiao Chi's hand. He couldn't believe the sudden and childish behavior of Xiao Chi, who had always been mature and steady: "You, you, you... You are so tall and tall, be a big brother. Oh, how can you bully Miaomiao…”
Xiao Chi squinted, raised his hand and squeezed Xiao Miao's cheek, squeezing Xiao Miao's beautiful facial features into a pig's face, raised his head and looked down from top to bottom, his body remained motionless during Lin Jingzhe's persuading action, as if A mighty iron-blooded real man!
He snorted coldly: "I'm going to bully her!"
Lin Jingzhe: "..."
With a lot of effort, he finally broke Xiao Chi's hand, and Xiao Miao rolled and crawled off the bed to hide behind Lin Jingzhe.
Xiao Chi shouted from the air: "Come out!"
Xiao Miao's big eyes shone with hatred: "I don't! You are not my brother!"
Xiao Chi raised his brows slightly on his calm face: "Oh?"
Xiao Miao's messy hair was put on her head like a chicken coop. Seeing his expression, her liver trembled with fright, and she yelled, "Brother Jingzhe!!!"
Lin Jingzhe immediately sacrificed himself to protect Xiao Miao, and looked at Xiao Chi disapprovingly: "You are almost done."
With him in his way, Xiao Chi really didn't make a move. When he received a smug look from his sister who was in the blind spot of Lin Jingzhe's line of sight, which was completely different from the pitiful voice, Xiao Chi folded his arms and looked at it for a moment, then suddenly reached out to Lin Jingzhe. : "Stop fighting, let's go, I'll take you to my study and show you some comics."
"..." Xiao Miao's expression froze a little bit, she couldn't say a word to the doubtful gaze that Shang Lin Jingzhe handed back.
Seeing Lin Jingzhe holding Xiao Chi's hand and gesturing to leave, her lips moved, and when the two figures in front were about to approach the door, she burst into tears.
"Dad! Brother bullied me!!!" Xiao Miao wiped her tears and went out to complain. Xiao Shenxing, who heard the noise in the room and came out of the study to find out, stood at the door helplessly, staring at her daughter's messy hair. He turned away and landed on the hands that Lin Jingzhe and Xiao Chi clasped.
His brain was aching for a while, but the heavy reality about Qi Kai, a child in the compound who grew up watching him, was gradually dispelled by the chaotic scene in front of him. It has become a trivial life that is sweeter than worrying. Xiao Chi and Xiao Miao have been fighting since childhood, and the fight is not once or twice. Xiao Miao usually complains to him or his mother if he fails to fight, so Xiao Shenxing also routinely lectures his son: "It's ridiculous! You are so grown-up. I don't know how to let my sister a little bit!"
Xiao Chi turned his face away as if nothing had happened, Dad Xiao pulled his eyes away from the tightly held hands of the two boys in the room, sighed complicatedly, and watched Xiao Miao complain to Lin Jingzhe with a pout.
He shook his head, turned and went downstairs, bumped into his wife at the stairs, Yu Shuyuan withdrew his gaze at the children, looked at him silently for a while, and showed a helpless smile.
Xiao Shenxing responded with a sigh of submission.
"This child." Yu Shuyuan didn't know which one he was talking about. He looked angry and funny, and shouted into the corridor, "Stop making trouble! Come down and eat!"
Xiao Miao rolled her eyes at her brother, combed her hair with her fingers, took out the small crystal crown in her pocket and put it on, returning to her usual straight, dignified and calm appearance and went out.
"Look, you were scolded by your father." Lin Jingzhe also glared at Xiao Chi, but he was helpless and reluctant to accuse the other party. Ask, "Are you okay?"
Xiao Chi let out a long breath and smiled at him: "It's much easier."
What's wrong? After fighting with my sister and being reprimanded by my father, I feel so good after the fight.
Lin Jingzhe absolutely couldn't understand this, but Xiao Chi became extremely clingy after he was happy, and when he went downstairs, Lin Jingzhe was a little embarrassed and shook hands: "You're almost there, aunts and uncles are all upstairs. down."
After all, it was such a shocking thing for two men to be together. Taking care of the old man's thoughts, Lin Jingzhe seldom showed too much intimacy with Xiao Chi in the Xiao family. Although Xiao Chi was dissatisfied in the past, he always cooperated, but today he didn't know what happened. Instead of letting go, he hugged Lin Jingzhe directly on the stairs and leaned in to kiss him.
Realizing that the other party had probably encountered something very touching today, Lin Jingzhe hesitated for a while, but still did not break free. Xiao Chi's complicated emotions poured into his body through his fiery lips. Lin Jingzhe accepted it and patiently comforted him. he.
The second time, Mama Xiao, who wanted to ask them to go downstairs for dinner, left silently after a long while.
At the dinner table, the expressions of the couple were very complicated, Xiao Chi didn't realize it, and was serving Lin Jingzhe the whole time.
Xiao Miao was also very abnormal today. Unlike her usual quiet appearance, she and her brother held Lin Jingzhe in a match. For the same meatball, the two brothers and sisters had a momentary dispute over their chopsticks.
"..." Father Xiao originally bowed his head and just drank the soup in silence, but for some reason he suddenly said, "It's already March."
Mother Xiao snorted and said, "Yeah, it's March."
"What happened in March?" The old lady put down her chopsticks and pinched her fingers to calculate, "Is the shelf life of the Swiss chocolate you put away for me coming up soon?"
"..." Xiao Shenxing said to his mother with a headache, "Mom, don't..."
Seeing that her mother-in-law seemed to have a tendency to fight on the grounds of diligence and thrift, Yu Shuyuan hurriedly interrupted: "If your wedding date is in November this year, you can almost start preparing soon. I and I Xiao Chi's father also has to ask the unit for leave earlier."
As soon as she said this, the whole table was stunned, including the old lady who was still thinking about her chocolate. Lin Jingzhe forgot to chew the food in his mouth, hurriedly swallowed it, and hesitantly put down the bowl.
Yu Shuyuan's words made him feel a little inexplicable, what kind of marriage? Same-sex marriage doesn't exist in China at all. Wouldn't it be better for him and Xiao Chi to live in silence? When he talked about marriage for the first time last year, he thought the Xiao family was joking.
Xiao Chi nodded: "It's almost there, both the invitation and the venue need to be booked in advance."
An expectant smile appeared on the old lady's face: "Can the wedding wine be placed at the Yanshi Hotel? I remember their brown sugar cake was delicious."
Father Xiao hard-heartedly ignored the request of his gray-haired old mother, and he seriously and his wife began to discuss the topic of entertaining guests.
wait wait wait…
Lin Jingzhe couldn't help but interrupt in the heated discussion that Xiao Chi also joined later: "No... What's the matter with marriage?"
Mother Xiao was stunned for a moment, frowning a little puzzled: "Didn't you agree before? When you came to see us last year."
Lin Jingzhe was puzzled for a while: "But... Xiao Chi and I... what are we... "
He said that he didn't explain it for a long time, and everyone at the table looked at him in confusion.
Lin Jingzhe gritted his teeth and said, "We two men... can't get a marriage certificate, right?"
"Of course you can't take it!" Mama Xiao gave you an expression that you really don't have common sense, "It's just a drink."
Lin Jingzhe's scalp was numb: "Do you still want to notify the guests? The two of us...they won't..."
Dad Xiao finally understood what he meant, his brows furrowed sharply: "What are they? Xiao Chi doesn't work in politics, what's so scary? I'll see who dares to talk nonsense outside, I'll kill him... "
Xiao's mother quickly interrupted her husband's more and more boring content, and explained softly: "Marriage certificates are secondary, but the wine must be served, you two can't be so indiscriminate and indifferent, this is me The most basic requirements for my son's marriage."
The logic of this family seems to be different from the social rules they have always accepted.
Lin Jingzhe met her serious and tenacious expression, and did not speak for a long time.
Xiao Miao put down her chopsticks and sat aside and sighed—
Really blind.
Blind.
