NOVEL NEXT Chapter 519
Chapter 519: 519, he smiled at her, especially… … My time is very valuable
Author: Qin Ruoxu MACHINE TRANSLATION
He seemed to have drunk quite a lot of wine, and his eyes, which were as dark as the night, were slightly narrowed because of her words. They were shining like a fog, reflecting her silhouette.
His handsome face got closer and closer, almost blocking out all the light above her head. His breathing slowly tangled with his. She could not stand it anymore and turned her head away. Her hands pressed against his hard chest as she said in an unstable voice, “since CEO Lin already has someone he likes, he should keep a certain distance from other women. Of course, this is the respect for everyone except me. ”
The lights in the underground parking lot were a little dim, enveloping his tall and straight figure. He smiled, and his every move was sexy and charming. “Who told you that she’s the one I like? ”
The man raised his large hand that hung by his side and rubbed it against her smooth and delicate profile. He did not know whether it was too late at night or the underground parking lot was too quiet at night, but wherever his hand went.. It would cause the woman to tremble and tremble.
“anyone with eyes can see this kind of thing. Why does CEO Lin have to bring it up on the table? ”
The man raised his beautiful eyebrows and his voice became even more deep and charming. “Why? Are You Jealous? ”
Song Guo heard his words and smiled faintly. “CEO Lin, aren’t you feeling a little too good about yourself by saying this? ”
“Oh, since there’s nothing particularly important to look for me, and I happen to not have the time to receive Miss Lin, then please go ahead. I’m very busy! ”
Saying this, he paused for a few seconds, then smiled and said, “especially… my time is very valuable. ”
The meaning of this sentence was very obvious. It was not worth wasting time on her.
After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave. The little woman who was leaning against the wall quickly stretched out her small hand and grabbed his large hand that was hanging by his side.
The man felt a sudden chill in his palm, so he turned around and raised his eyebrows to look at her.
His large hand was very warm, and there was a thin layer of calluses on his palm. She just did not want to say it clearly and let him leave just like that, which was why she grabbed his hand in a panic However, she did not expect to feel an electric shock from his warm hand.
She was shocked and quickly let go of his hand. She asked him anxiously, “Lin Nancheng, are my grandparents really not here with you? ”
“I’m sorry, this matter may disappoint miss song. I don’t think I can use such a low method to force a woman to compromise. ”
He shrugged and said with a helpless and innocent expression, “so… ”
These few words contained too much information. She digested them for a full half a minute before she could figure out the meaning of his words.
Was He telling her that her grandparents had not been taken away by him, and that someone else had taken them away?
Song Guo knew the proud part of Lin Nancheng’s personality. She also knew that he disdained to lie to women, and he would not deny what he had done.
So this matter had nothing to do with him at all. It was just that… … If it was not him, and it was not Song Qishan, then who would have done this ? ?
Her head was aching, and she could not think of the person who had done this. She simply gave up thinking and prepared to return to the country to find Gu Xichen. She thought that he must know.
Or to be more precise, he was deliberately making a mistake to lure her to find Lin Nancheng and create a chance for them to get back together.
Song Guo pursed her red lips and smiled. “I’m really sorry for what happened just now, chief Lin. I didn’t understand the situation. Sorry for disturbing you. ”
After saying that, Song Guo walked towards the exit of the underground parking lot. Lin Nancheng only took one look before he looked away. There was no extra expression or emotion on his face, as if she had never appeared before.
…
Song Guo took a taxi back to the hotel. Just as she was about to take the elevator upstairs to pack her luggage and return to the country, she was stopped by the staff at the front desk of the hotel. They told her that an extremely vile theft had just occurred in the hotel The guest room she was in was one of the ‘disaster areas’ .
In other words, all of her belongings had been looted. Forget about returning to the country, even staying in the United States had become a problem.
Previously, in order to ask Lin Nancheng about her grandparents’whereabouts earlier, she only brought some cash and left the hotel in a hurry.
When she rushed to the Lin Corporation’s headquarters, she realized that she had forgotten to bring her wallet and ID card.
Now that the hotel had been robbed and her room was in a ‘disaster area’ , it meant that not only had her wallet and ID card been lost, it also meant that her passport had also been lost.
Entering and leaving the country was an extremely easy matter to begin with. Losing all of her documents made entering and leaving the country even more difficult. Moreover, it would be extremely troublesome to obtain those documents in a foreign country Moreover, it was not something that could be completely solved in a day or two.
Song Guo, who had originally planned to return to the country immediately, suddenly broke down. In this second, it was as if something had drained all the strength in her body, causing her to fall to the ground.
When the hotel reception staff saw Song Guo like this, they were shocked. They quickly called their colleagues to help Song Guo return to a newly opened room so that she could ease her anxious mood.
After Song Guo returned to the room that the staff had arranged for her, she thanked a few staff members who had followed her and locked herself in the room.
For some reason, she suddenly became extremely dispirited and depressed.
She refused to see anyone and didn’t want to think about anything else. Even her phone was turned off and she was truly isolated from the outside world.
At this moment, even if she didn’t want to admit it, she had to admit that after knowing that Lin Nancheng didn’t have to be with her and that he could turn around and find someone else he liked, her so-called impregnable self-respect and pride suddenly collapsed.
It wasn’t that she had to be petty and jealous of her ex who was living a better life than her after the breakup. After all, she was also busy with blind dates, cultivating good feelings with other men, and even discussing marriage.
It was just that she really loved him, so she cared about him a lot.
And she knew very well that she didn’t have the right to care about him. She didn’t even have the right to be sad.
It was precisely because she had such a clear understanding that she felt even more sad, so sad that her heart was flustered.
…
On the other side, at the headquarters of the Lin Corporation in Los Angeles.
Lin Nancheng took the elevator to the CEO’s office on the top floor. He used a cheque to dismiss the woman who had acted with him for a few scenes. She was quite a good partner and had a lot to talk about.
The woman’s scallion-like fingers clamped on the check that Lin Nancheng handed over. She waved it in front of her eyes and said with a smile, “director Lin is really generous! Remember to look for me if you have any problems in the future. Xiaoyou will definitely do your best to help director Lin share his worries. ”
Lin Nancheng glanced at the young lady in front of him, who was only a little over 20 years old, and then said in a low voice, “You are so good at lying, cheating, and swindling. If there is anything that needs your help, of course I will look for you. Moreover, the reward will be doubled. ”
Hearing Lin Nancheng’s words, Xiaoyou blinked and said with a smile, “really? Then I’ll have to go back and look forward to it! ”
At this point, she suddenly paused and continued, “I don’t know why, but I suddenly don’t want Miss Song to change her mind so soon. That way, I’ll have money to earn, right? ”
Hearing her words, Lin Nancheng raised his handsome eyebrows. He seemed to be amused by her words, and his mood improved a lot.
He lowered his head and took out a cigarette box from his trouser pocket. He took out a cigarette and lit it up. After taking a deep breath, he said with a smile, “don’t worry. If she changes her mind soon, the pay won’t be less than half of yours. ”
“since director Lin has said so, then I will definitely do everything I can to make miss song return to director Lin’s arms as soon as possible. ”
After Xiao you finished speaking, she pointed in the direction of the door. “then… It’s getting late. I’ll go back first, director Lin. ”
Lin Nancheng didn’t say anything. Instead, he waved his hand, indicating that he understood.
Xiao you turned around and left. Only Lin Nancheng’s figure was left in the huge CEO’s office.
He stood where he was and puffed out the smoke for a while. Then, he walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window. He stared at the lights outside the window for a long time until the phone in the pocket of his suit vibrated Only then did he pull back his thoughts that had drifted far away.
He lowered his head and took out the phone in his suit pocket. When he saw that the screen lit up and displayed a string of unfamiliar numbers, he could not help but frown. He stared at the screen for about two seconds before he swiped the answer button.
The next second after he picked up the call, a deep male voice was heard. “Director Lin, just now, after Miss Song found out that her things were stolen, she did not look very well. I could not see clearly from afar, but I kept feeling like she was crying… ”
Lin Nancheng reached out to pinch his aching Glabella and said in a low and hoarse voice, “okay, I got it. ”
“Also, director Lin… ”
When the bodyguard said this, he wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Lin Nancheng frowned and quickly answered, “If you have something to say, just say it. There’s no need to hide it. ”
“okay, director Lin. ”
After hearing Lin Nancheng’s words, the bodyguard finally put his hanging heart back into his stomach. “I wasn’t sure about Miss Song’s condition just now, so I took a few photos from a distance. Do you want to see them? ”
“Send them to me immediately. ”
“Okay… okay! ”
Almost the next second after hanging up the phone, Lin Nancheng received the photos sent by the bodyguard.
They were quite far away, and there were a lot of people in the hall at that time. He couldn’t clearly see the expression and emotions on the woman’s face, but just as the bodyguard had said, she lowered her head as if she was crying.
Song Guo was never a particularly fragile person, nor was she a person who liked to cry. Only her grandparents could make her break down like this.
The man’s eyebrows went from a slight frown to a fierce frown. There were only a few seconds left. In the end, he could not resist and dialed Gu Xichen’s cell phone number.
Gu Xichen was drinking tea and reading documents in his xichen villa. When he heard the vibration of his cell phone, his eyes that were staring at the screen immediately turned to the lit up cell phone screen. When he saw the caller ID was Lin Nancheng.. He immediately swiped the answer button.
Before he could finish his words, Lin Nancheng’s low and hoarse voice, which could even be said to be devoid of any warmth, was heard. “Gu Xichen, look what you’ve done. Where are Song Guo’s grandparents now? ”
“Oh, did you hear that voice? Are you angry because you haven’t reconciled? Or have you been abused by Song Guo again? You can’t find a place to vent, so you came to me? ”
In the past half a year, he, Lin Nancheng, had been in a relationship, but he had been abused.
He had always been hardworking and uncomplaining. He even played the role of an assistant and cannon fodder most of the time, so whenever there was any movement between him and Song Guo, it would implicate him. This was nothing new, and she was already used to it.
Lin Nancheng put out the cigarette that was about to burn out in the transparent ashtray on his office desk. Then, he said in a low voice, “are you f * cking blowing the air conditioner and drinking hot tea now? Do you think you’re an assistant? ”
Gu Xichen raised his exquisite eyebrows. “director Lin is so angry. Is it because I didn’t assist? ”
“assist? I think you’re F * CKING COUNTER-ASSISTING! ”
Gu Xichen’s expression was still the same as before. His mood just now was so casual that it made people gnash their teeth. “Oh? Tell me more about it. ”
“Anyway, think of a way to send Song Guo’s grandparents to America. I don’t want to see her cry. ”
Gu Xichen never dared to believe that such a cold-blooded and heartless man would tell him that he did not want to see a woman cry. And that woman was not the warmth that he had loved for many years, nor was she the little sister that he held in his hands and loved dearly. Instead, she was the mother of his child Song Guo.
Such a reaction inevitably made Gu Xichen suspicious. “I say, boss Lin, CEO Lin, do you have any misunderstanding about the relationship between you and Song Guo? ”
Lin Nancheng heard Gu Xichen’s words and did not react for a long time. It was only when Gu Xichen spoke again that he finally had some reaction. This was because he heard Gu Xichen say, “elder Lin, I’m 100% sure that you’re in love with Song Guo. ”
He also said, “If you weren’t in love with that woman, you wouldn’t be so upset and wouldn’t be unable to see her cry. ”
Actually, this question that Gu Xichen was talking about was also a question that he had been thinking about for the past few days.
Yes, he had chosen to go abroad during such a difficult time to figure out his feelings for Song Guo. Was it because she was the most suitable candidate to be Mrs. Lin, or was it because… … He had long fallen in love with her …
Perhaps it was not too difficult for a man to fall in love with a woman, but for him, it was an extremely difficult thing.
He did not like to lie, especially to women.
If he loved, he loved. If he did not love, he did not love.
What’s more, Love was not something that could be muddled by saying that he did not love and saying that he did not love.
If he really fell in love, he would not run away nor would he find it ridiculous. Instead, he would… … Cherish it …
“The most important issue now is not my assistance, but whether you love her or not. If you love her, everything will be solved. She doesn’t have to be awkward, and you don’t have to be awkward. ”
“If you still don’t love her… “. … Then I can also say with certainty that Lin is looking for trouble for me. Otherwise, who would argue with a woman whom I don’t love at all ? And even for this woman whom I don’t love, she’s almost becoming unlike me ? Do you think I’m right ? Director Lin?”
Lin Nancheng’s head seemed to hurt even more. He didn’t say anything. Instead, he pressed the hang-up button and sent him a wechat message. The content of the wechat message was very simple and crude “Tomorrow night, I want to see Song Guo’s grandparents. Of course, I’m sure you know the consequences of not being able to see them. You don’t need me to type more, right? ”
Lin Nancheng sent the wechat message over ten seconds later. Gu Xichen replied with a few words, looking very good-tempered, “okay, I got it, director Lin. ”
After reading the message, he threw his phone on the desk and continued to stand by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the lights outside.
He didn’t know whether it was because the city looked too luxurious or because the night was too dark, but he felt that his figure reflected on the window was a little lonely.
Was it because of Gu Xichen’s words Or was he finally aware of his emotional state?
He didn’t know, he really didn’t know.
…
The next evening.
Song Guo locked herself in the hotel room for a day and a night. Finally, the hotel staff were scared out of their wits. They didn’t care whether Song Guo agreed or not. They just opened the door and barged in.
They thought that they would see a suicide or a very bloody scene, but none of the scenes they imagined happened. Instead, they only saw a woman sitting by the bed with her back to the door. No one knew what she was thinking about.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Song Guo slowly turned around. Her voice was the same as her eyes. It was slow and dull. “What’s the matter? ”
The hotel staff in the lead quickly smiled and waved his hand. He forced himself to remain calm and said, “nothing much, Miss Song. We… we are just doing simple room service. Room Service. ”
After saying Room Service, the few staff members following behind suddenly came to a realization. They quickly moved in a well-trained manner and began to clean the room like a carpet.
About five minutes later, the few staff members finished cleaning the room and left Song Guo’s room.
After everyone had left, Song Guo turned her head and continued to look out of the window. She did not realize that she was in a very low mood, even a little scary.
After a while, Song Guo could not tell the exact time. About twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang again.
This time, Song Guo was a little annoyed. She frowned and got up to open the door. What she did not expect was that the people standing outside the door this time were not the hotel staff members who were gossiping, but her grandparents.
She stood there in a daze for about ten seconds before calling out uncertainly, “grandparents? Is it really you? ”
Her grandfather’s health was not good, so it was not appropriate for him to be too excited. Therefore, her grandmother stood in front of her grandfather and said kindly, “silly child, of course it’s US! ”
When Song Guo heard her grandmother’s answer, she did not know why, but her tears suddenly fell from her eyes like a kite with its string cut.
When her grandmother saw that Song Guo was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, as if she had been wronged, she quickly asked, “Guo Guo, what happened to you? Did someone bully you? ”
Song Guo quickly shook her head. “No, grandma, no one bullied me. I just… I just felt that I lost my wallet, Identity Card, and passport. I just missed home in a foreign country… ”
GRANDPA and grandma knew about Song Guo losing her wallet and passport on the plane to the United States, so they didn’t show much surprise. They just comforted her in a low voice “people are like this all their lives. You don’t know when a difficult problem will pop up, but it doesn’t matter. You just need to get through it. Don’t think about anything else. ”
Hearing her grandmother’s words, Song Guo nodded heavily. “Yes, grandmother is right. Guoguo will remember it. ”
After saying that, she walked out of her grief-stricken mood. Then, as she helped her grandparents into the room, she asked in a low voice, “GRANDPA and grandma, how did you find me? Have you been in the United States all this time? ”
“No, we took a plane from Lin city. Last night, a young man came to your grandpa and me and said that you had met with trouble in the United States. He asked us to come and find you quickly. When we heard that you had an accident, your grandpa and I got on the plane without even having dinner. ”
“Just now… “. … Just now, your grandfather was still complaining about me. He said that I was always very fierce to you, which was why you didn’t dare to tell us when you were bullied. I thought about it and also felt that it was very right. But Guo Guo, if you have anything in the future, you must tell your grandparents. Although we are old and can’t be of much help, we can always help you share some of your worries. I don’t want you to shoulder everything on your own.”
Song Guo had been a very sensible child since she was young. Moreover, she had always been a girl who never rebelled and had never experienced puberty.
She and her husband had always been proud of having such a granddaughter, but ever since she went to university, she had never reported any bad news to them. This sometimes made them very worried, worried that she would be bullied and hurt But they did not dare to say it out loud.
And reality proved that she was indeed developing in this direction.
Hearing her grandmother and grandfather’s self-reproaching words, Song Guo quickly wiped the tears off her face, and then said with a smile, “Aiya, Grandfather and grandmother, I’m not as strong as you think. I cry when I’m sad, and I can’t help but confide in you. How can I carry everything on my own! ”
Song Guo’s words obviously didn’t comfort her grandparents. Instead, it made the two elders blame themselves more and more. The more sensible she was, the more they blamed themselves. She could only pretend to be insensible “okay, GRANDPA and grandma, we finally gathered in the United States. We’ve said for so many years that we would go around Los Angeles with you guys, but it hasn’t come true. It’s pretty good now. At least I have a lot of time to accompany you guys! ”
“Aiya, silly Guo. Your GRANDPA and I are old bones. It doesn’t matter whether we go around or not. As long as you’re happy and happy, your GRANDPA and I can close our eyes even if we die. ”
