Although Xiao Ci never told Li Shuhuai clearly why he approached Lin Zhiyi, Li Shuhuai could probably guess it based on his understanding of him.
There was no need for Li Shuhuai to remind him of this. After all, Xiao Ci was a person who always had clear goals and was neat and tidy.
Otherwise, how could he possibly support a listed company larger than Lin's at such a young age?
The reason why Xiao Ci grew up so fast was entirely supported by his parents' hatred. This is the hatred engraved in his bones.
Li Shuhuai has never questioned this.
But he didn't know when, but he felt that his boss's attitude towards Lin Zhiyi had changed, especially in the phone call last night.
It's no longer the superficial disguise of care and love, he has even used his hidden strength to teach people a lesson.
Yes, he is jealous.
This is a man's possessiveness towards a woman. His reminder is that he is afraid that any further contact between the boss and Lin Zhiyi will go against his original intention.
When Xiao Ci heard this, the expression on his face changed unpredictably. He pondered for a moment and said: "I have my own sense of proportion."
His affairs were never discussed, so Li Shuhuai could only point them out and push them out silently.
Xiao Ci stared at the screen for a long time, then suddenly closed his laptop a little irritably, got up and came to the window.
He thought that when he separated from Lin Zhiyi this morning, he subconsciously thought that their state of affairs would continue for a while.
It turns out that it will end so soon...
--Dividing line--
Lin Zhiyi was at work late and everyone in the studio had already left after finishing the matters at hand.
Looking at his phone, Xiao Ci didn't call him either.
work overtime?
Lin Zhiyi packed up her things and went out. After going downstairs, she was about to send him a message, saying that she would take the subway back first. When she looked up, she saw her car parked there.
With joy on his face, he thought Xiao Ci had come here early on purpose, but unexpectedly he saw a strange man getting out of the car.
"Is this Miss Lin?" he asked, holding the car keys.
Lin Zhiyi nodded and looked at him with confusion.
"I'm Xiao Ci's colleague. He's working overtime today and asked me to bring his car to you." The man explained.
"Thank you." Lin Zhiyi took the key.
"You're welcome." The man was polite to her, even respectful.
Lin Zhiyi sat in the car, but she was still muttering in her heart. Even if Xiao Ci asked someone to deliver the car, he should call him to tell him, right?
I took out my cell phone and wanted to call him, but thought about what if he was busy?
Well, she was really a little scared when she thought about his excessive demands.
Just as I was about to put the phone down, it rang again in the palm of my hand.
"Mom." Lin Zhiyi answered.
"Are you off work?" Mother Lin asked.
"Yeah." Lin Zhi agreed.
"Then come back for dinner. Your brother's friend specially sent you crabs." I knew my daughter loved to eat, so I called her out specially.
"Okay." Lin Zhiyi thought that since her brother hit her and Xiao Ci last time, she had indeed not been home for several days.
About twenty minutes later, Lin Zhiyi entered the house.
Mother Lin was busy in the kitchen as usual, instructing the servants to do things, and she was very particular about the presentation of the dishes.
For her, this is her world and fun.
Until Lin Zhiyi came over and hugged her affectionately from behind.
Mother Lin was startled first and then realized that it was her precious daughter.
"came back?"
"Yeah." Lin Zhi agreed, and then rubbed her body: "Mom smells so good."
"You are so old, you still look like a child." Mother Lin said this, but her face was full of doting.
"I am your child no matter how old you are." Lin Zhiyi continued to act coquettishly, and then asked: "By the way, where are dad and brother?"
Usually when I come back, I will see them drinking tea in the living room, but today there is no one.
"It's in the study room. The two of them went in as soon as they came back and haven't come out yet." Mother Lin answered.
"Did something happen to the company?" Lin Zhiyi immediately smelled something unusual.
"Who knows, let them worry about it themselves." Anyway, she never interfered in the company's affairs.
"I'll go take a look and call them to eat." Lin Zhiyi said.
"Okay." Mother Lin said.
Lin Zhiyi left the kitchen, but before she went upstairs, she saw Lin Zhiyan coming down from the stairs.
"Brother." Lin Zhiyi shouted.
"Yeah." Lin Zhiyan responded.
"Where's dad?" Lin Zhiyi asked, seeing him coming down alone.
"Go back to your room and change clothes." Lin Zhiyan replied.
"Oh." Lin Zhiyi responded and asked again: "Is there something wrong with the company?"
In fact, she had already confirmed it, otherwise why would they be so busy that they didn't change their clothes until now?
"A little bit, but you don't need to worry about it." Lin Zhiyan said again.
Hearing that he sounded like he could handle it, Lin Zhiyi felt relieved.
She poured Lin Zhiyan a cup of tea.
Lin Zhiyan took a sip before asking: "How are you doing with that Xiao Ci recently?"
"It's okay." Lin Zhiyi answered vaguely.
Lin Zhiyan frowned slightly, probably because he didn't want to see her relationship with Xiao Ci go smoothly.
"What's your expression? Are you expecting me to fall out of love?" Lin Zhiyi was dissatisfied.
"Yeah." Lin Zhiyan said calmly.
"Lin Zhiyan!" Lin Zhiyi was angry.
Lin Zhiyan didn't care at all, because he knew his sister couldn't do anything to her.
However, he always disagreed with his sister and Xiao Ci being together, not only because he became an accident in the family's plan for his sister, but also because of his own investigation results.
Everything seemed to be fine, but Lin Zhiyan's intuition made him feel that something was wrong.
"Zhiyi, how can you call your brother by his first name?" Lin's mother came over at this time and happened to see this scene.
"I was wrong." We couldn't talk about Xiao Ci, so Lin Zhiyi apologized straightforwardly.
But I still felt a little unhappy, so I walked straight to the restaurant.
"Let's go and eat." Mother Lin greeted her son.
Lin Zhiyan stood up and walked to her side. Mother Lin asked in a low voice: "Why did you offend your sister again?"
"No." Lin Zhiyan denied.
He hadn't decided yet whether to tell his parents about Xiao Ci. Privately, he wanted to put it off for a while, and it would be best to just let it go and let them pretend it never happened.
…
At that time, Xiao Ci was over there.
The lights were starting to turn on outside, and he was still working on documents in the office.
"Knock, knock!" Someone knocked on the door.
His hand that was making comments on the document paused for a moment before he said, "Come in."
The doorknob was opened, and the man who had just appeared downstairs in Lin Zhiyi's studio walked in and shouted: "Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Ci nodded slightly.
"The car has been handed over to Miss Lin," the man reported.
Xiao Ci then raised his head and glanced at him, then moved his gaze back to the document in his hand.
The man didn't understand. He always felt that the boss should have something to ask him by asking him to come back specially, but he didn't see that he had no intention of speaking.
"Mr. Xiao, shall I go down first?" the man could only ask hesitantly.
"Yeah." Xiao Ciying.
The man felt strange, but he went out as he was told, but when he closed the door, he saw the boss' hand holding the pen paused.
He maintained the actions he had just taken, as if he was in a trance...
