In the late summer and early autumn nights, the chill is getting cooler. The moonlight from the flowing water flows quietly and evenly shines on the ancient Lin family house with a history of more than a hundred years.
The black handmade leather shoes stopped firmly in front of the study door and knocked gently. After receiving the answer, Lin Xiluo opened the sliding door and walked in.
The elegant fragrance of ink spreads everywhere, lingering in the study room with simple decoration as always. The bright lights, through the illumination of the rosewood hollow flower-carved palace lanterns, add a bit of ancient charm to the room.
Father Lin stood in front of the huge pear wood table, splashing ink on the paper. When he heard Lin Xiluo's voice coming in, he didn't raise his head, "Here you come?"
"Yes," Lin Xiluo took off his shoes and walked inside. When he came to his father's side, he quietly watched the white rice paper gradually outline a strong and powerful "conspiracy" under the operation of Lin's father's brush.
Character.
Looking at this word, Father Lin put the pen on the pen holder and turned to look at Lin Xiluo, "Xiluo, what do you think of this word?"
Lin Xiluo pursed his thin lips slightly and stared at the word with his black eyes for a moment, "The word 'mou' can mean both strategy and conspiracy. Although it is the same word, it has the same meaning. One
People must not only have a shrewd mind and dare to plan strategies, but also have to identify the conspiracy hidden inside. The conditions and requirements put forward by the Gu family will definitely not suffer at all for a cunning person like Gu Xian. But if we
If they refuse, they will definitely not give up. Once they turn to the Zheng family, it will become a thorny problem for us that is difficult to solve."
"That's right," Father Lin nodded calmly in agreement.
After a pause, Lin Xiluo said calmly, "Then, the only thing I can do now is to agree to their conditions and remind myself of this word 'strategy' at all times, so that City S can truly become our Lin family's world as soon as possible."
"Xi Luo, I know you have your own unspeakable secrets, but for the sake of Lin's future, you can only make concessions."
"Dad, I understand."
Lin Xiluo said goodbye to his father, returned to the car, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath.
After a long wait, unspeakable sourness appeared in Linxiluo's black eyes. He took out his mobile phone and said in a low voice sadly, "Xiaofan, inform the news media in S City and ask them to publish the matter in the newspaper tomorrow morning.
Report it."
After seeing Lin Xiluo off, Father Lin slowly sat back on the recliner, with only helplessness in his confused eyes.
Xiluo, please don't resent your father. For the future of the Lin family, I have to do this, just like I did back then...
********** After a dreamless night, Su Zhengliang was awakened by the patter of rain outside the window. He opened his eyes and looked at the alarm clock beside the bed. It was still early.
He stared blankly at the ceiling. He didn't know why, but he always felt panicked today, as if something bad was about to happen, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
After lying on the bed for a while, he couldn't lie any longer, so he got up, opened the door and walked out.
The house was quiet, and her mother hadn't gotten up yet, so Su Zhengliang started preparing breakfast.
After working for more than half an hour, Su's mother's footsteps were heard in the living room, and Su Zhengliang walked out, "Mom, why did you get up so early? Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"
Mother Su shook her head, "I can't sleep, I want to go out for a walk, but look at this day..."
Su Zhengliang saw that Su's mother didn't look good, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her sit at the dining table, "Mom, you must be hungry. Breakfast has been prepared. You can read the news first, and I will bring it out."
Mother Su nodded, turned on the TV, and tuned to the news channel.
Su Zhengliang turned back to the kitchen, filled a bowl of millet porridge, and ordered some pickles to send out.
Seeing Su's mother watching the news intently, Su Zhengliang called out, "Mom, drink some porridge first, the steamed buns will be ready soon."
Mother Su took the porridge bowl and smiled happily, "My dear, thank you for your hard work."
Su Zhengliang smiled sheepishly, "Mom, why do you say that again? This is what I should do." After saying that, he looked at the kitchen and said, "The steamed buns are steamed. I'll take them out."
Mother Su drank her porridge and said, "Yes."
Su Zhengliang took out the plate and prepared to take out the steamed buns.
Suddenly, there was a smashing sound of a bowl falling to the floor in the living room. Su Zhengliang was shocked and ran out immediately.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
I saw Mother Su standing a few steps away from the TV, pointing with trembling fingers at the news program that was being broadcast, "Xiao Liang, look..."
Su Zhengliang raised his head and looked at the TV. The beautiful female announcer was speaking clearly word for word with a soft voice, "According to insiders, Lin Xiluo and Gu Xinyi have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. This time the two get married..."
Before the announcer finished speaking, Su Zhengliang felt his mother's body shake slightly, and then she leaned back.
