Over indulge

Chapter 152

After Xu Keer left, Lin Jiayue stood alone by the lake in front of the gymnasium for a while. Parents with children passed by, talking and laughing? Noisy, and old couples who supported each other staggered and leisurely stroll.

And she fell into endless melancholy because of some of Xu Keer's words? She clearly knew in her heart that she shouldn't be disturbed by those words, but she couldn't control her thoughts, especially Xu Keer's determination, Arrogant, smug tone.It made Lin Jiayue feel a chill down her back just thinking about it, but will she and Xu Ruining really be separated?

No, no, no one can separate them except life and death, Lin Jiayue firmly believes.

Thinking of this, she quickly pulled herself together and returned along the same road? With the daily necessities bought from the supermarket, Lin Jiayue drove back to her residence alone.

Time? It's getting late, she has to hurry up and go back to make dinner. This afternoon Xu Ruining sent a message to tell her that he will come back earlier in the evening to accompany her. Now Lin Jiayue cherishes every time she spends with her The night together, the rarer it may be? The more precious things are, people are always like this.

The first thing I did when I got home was to clean the inside and outside. Then I took out the kitchen apron from the drawer and tied it on myself. I rolled up my sleeves and started preparing for today's dinner with great energy.

It has to be said that Lin Jiayue has improved her cooking skills a lot in the past few days. She is very satisfied with Xu Ruining's happy smile overflowing from the corner of her mouth every time she tastes her cooking.

Wearing gloves, she carefully brought the stewed soup to the dining table, and covered it to prevent the temperature from dissipating too quickly. Just as she was about to go back to the kitchen, the mobile phone that she casually threw on the sofa in the living room rang, and the phone rang cheerfully. Resounded throughout the house.

Lin Jiayue hurriedly took off her gloves and went to check. It was a call from Xu Ruining. Lin Jiayue was overjoyed when she saw it. She must be coming back soon. She thought she couldn't wait to answer it and put it in her ear.

"Jiayue." Xu Ruining called her name, his tone slightly low.

Lin Jiayue didn't hear it, but instead asked with great interest: "Are you going back? Are you here?"

"I have a meeting tonight and I have to fly to the capital temporarily... I'm sorry Jiayue..." Xu Ruining hesitated to speak.

Hearing this, the smile on Lin Jiayue's face almost froze for an instant, and she quickly pretended to be okay and said, "It's okay, you don't have to apologize to me, I know it's hard for you, I can understand."

Xu Ruining took a deep breath, still hesitant to speak, and finally said after a moment of silence: "As long as you have a word, I will immediately put down my work and go back to accompany you."

Lin Jiayue bit her lip, although she really wanted her to be with her, but she couldn't? Being such a selfish person, Xu Ruining had so many people waiting for her to support her.

Tried to laugh? Laughed? Then said: "I'm fine, really, I'll be fine by myself, and you don't have to worry about me."

"During this time?...I have wronged you." Xu Ruining's words were full of guilt.

It was also the first time for Lin Jiayue to feel Xu Ruining's helplessness. In her mind, such a powerful and powerful Xu Ruining would have a day of helplessness, and she felt very distressed.

"I am not wronged, not at all, I will wait for you to come back at home."

Lin Jiayue knows that Zhou Cijing has been strategizing for many years, and his power is growing day by day. He is chasing Xu Ruining fiercely, and this time there is no sign of letting go. Lin Jiayue does not know whether Xu Ruining can break through such a dilemma. If it can't be broken, then what should it become.

She can't imagine.

After a short conversation, Lin Jiayue had to end the phone call with Xu Ruining, because it was time for her to get on the plane.

Putting down the phone silently, the sound of her breathing alone was left in the house again, and the surroundings were terribly quiet.

After being in a trance for a while, I came back to my senses, and immediately rushed to the kitchen, poured out the boiled water in the pot, turned off the fire, rearranged some unprepared dishes and put them back in the refrigerator. No need to cook at night.

She can't eat too much by herself, besides, if Xu Ruining doesn't come back, she doesn't have much appetite.

Not wanting to waste the already made soup, Lin Jiayue took a spoon and sat down at the dining table, and directly drank it from the porcelain cup by herself. It seemed a bit salty, maybe there was too much salt, forget it, let’s just drink it , as today's dinner.

While drinking, a silent tear rolled down her face and fell vertically into the porcelain cup in front of her, creating small ripples.

Lin Jiayue was stunned by this, and couldn't help but raised her hand to touch the corners of her eyes, which were wet.

Actually... crying.

It's bad.

Lin Jiayue laughed at herself? Laughed? and continued to drink regardless. Under the influence of her heart, she seemed to feel more salty.

This huge house is empty, counting this month, the time they spend together at night can be counted on one hand.

With a deep sense of powerlessness, she felt that she was so useless, why she didn't have a business mind, and couldn't help her to find a solution at this time.

Why doesn't she have a rich family background? Maybe she did in the past, but now, all of that doesn't belong to her. The little money she saved by herself is probably just a drop in the bucket for Xu Ruining.

Halfway through drinking the soup, she felt a little tired. Lin Jiayue put down the spoon and didn't bother to clean up tonight. She got up and went to take a bath, and then went to bed to rest.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Even when she was lying on the bed, she still felt tight in her chest even though she turned on the air conditioner. She tossed and turned on the bed?

She felt that she had returned to the time when the Lin family's economy was in crisis a year ago. At that time, she was also anxious and unable to sleep day and night. The current situation will only get worse and worse.

After torturing herself until midnight, she fell asleep for a short time because of physical fatigue. After a few hours, she was woken up by the alarm clock again, and it was time to go to school.

Another new day, the sun still rising in the east, nothing changed.

It was another day of Xin's anticipation. She went to class step by step, studied, and practiced the piano. When school was over, Lin Jiayue received a message from Xu Ruining on time.

Xu Ruining: I won't go back today?

Then she sent another locating message, and she had already arrived at the southernmost city.

After a simple reply, Lin Jiayue silently put her phone in her pocket, tried her best to pretend that nothing happened, and greeted her classmates with a smile and said goodbye.

It wasn't until she walked out of the school gate alone that the smile on her face gradually disappeared. She knew that she should go back to that house alone, eat alone and sleep alone.

Obviously, before meeting Xu Ruining, she lived alone in college? She also adapted well then, but she can't now.

People are really weird.

Today's dinner alone is instant noodles.

Lin Jiayue was waiting at the dining table. While waiting, she couldn't help picking up her mobile phone. She wanted to start with the people around Xu Ruining. They must know the truth. After all, Xu Ruining never showed difficulties in front of her. look.

She first called the nearest person, Zhou Ji. He was Xu Ruining's driver and was inseparable from her all day long. He must be able to know something inside.

After waiting for a while after dialing, Zhou Ji's voice came from next to my ear.

"Miss Lin, you are looking for me."

"Well, Zhou Ji, calling you so late didn't bother you, did it?" Lin Jiayue asked in embarrassment.

"No, no, what's the matter with Ms. Lin?" Zhou Ji asked.

"Yes, I want to ask you something." Lin Jiayue paused before saying, "Zhou Ji, let me ask? You, do you know the current situation of Xu Ruining's company?"

"Ah? This, this... How can I know that as a driver?" Zhou Ji suddenly became a little embarrassed, and then hurriedly said: "Miss Lin, Mr. Xu is calling me, I have to hang up first, Bye-Bye."

beep...

Lin Jiayue was full of doubts as there was only such a series of busy sounds left in her ears.

Zhou Ji didn't know, or he didn't want to say it, otherwise why would he hang up the phone with such a guilty conscience? Could it be that the situation is so bad that Xu Ruining won't let the people around him reveal it to her?

But Lin Jiayue didn't believe in evil, there was always someone willing to tell her the truth.

Immediately afterwards, she took the trouble to call Xu Ruining's secretary, Huang Ying, but it took a long time to answer, so that Lin Jiayue didn't have any hope of getting through.

"Well, Huang Ying, I'm sorry to disturb you so late."

"Where is Ms. Lin, do you have something to do with me?" Huang Ying's tone of voice was still so formulaic, polite and alienated, making one have to think of her serious appearance in a women's suit.

"I want to ask you about the situation in the company recently, please don't hang up, I really want to know." Lin Jiayue spoke to the other party almost in a begging tone.

"Ah, it's this." Huang Ying paused for a moment, then said solemnly: "The situation is not optimistic..."

Lin Jiayue's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "What kind of pessimism is it?"

"The crisis that the company has encountered this time is unprecedented. Now Zhou Cijing, who has doubled in strength, has joined forces with major companies to encircle and suppress us. Xu's company is in danger..."

Lin Jiayue's pupils dilated involuntarily, is it at stake? ? ?

She couldn't believe her ears, what kind of situation she was in, she would use the word "danger" to describe it.

"Huang Ying, is everything you said true?"

"Miss Lin, I don't need to lie to you about this kind of thing."

"But, but," Lin Jiayue began to stammer a little bit, "Is there no solution?"

Huang Ying's tone was very low, "What Mr. Xu has done so far can only be regarded as mending the past, it's too late."

"Then, what will the final result be?" Lin Jiayue couldn't help asking?

"Zhou Cijing will annex Xu's business bit by bit. At that time, in order to repay the debt, all properties under Mr. Xu's name will also be frozen." Huang Ying reported all this coldly, making it sound as if she didn't have the slightest idea about all of this. emotion.

Lin Jiayue didn't want to listen anymore? She took her mobile phone and said, "I see, thank you for telling me this..."

After finishing speaking, she cut off the phone and sat back on the chair silently, her mind blank.

That was Xu Ruining's life's painstaking effort, if it ended up in someone else's hands...

Lin Jiayue dare not imagine.

What to do, what to do, I will definitely find a way, if you don’t try, how will you know.

Although she didn't know anything about business matters, she could? Find someone in this area for help, and two people popped up in Lin Jiayue's mind.

Maybe you can go and meet them, they also have contacts in the circle, maybe you can find a solution.

Insomnia again until twelve o'clock.

I didn't expect to receive a call from Xu Ruining at this time, and the first thing Xu Ruining said was: "I haven't slept yet, have I?"

"How do you know?" Lin Jiayue cried and laughed? Don't ask?.

"Recently, I've been seeing records of you going online late at night."

What Xu Ruining was talking about was a social software. Lin Jiayue and her registered an account together and linked up with friends. They could see the time when it was online. Every time Lin Jiayue suffered from insomnia, she would go to it to go shopping. Trail handle.

"I can't sleep, I think too much." Lin Jiayue admitted truthfully.

"What are you thinking about?" Xu Ruining asked curiously, as if nothing happened.

Lin Jiayue was almost terrified by her, and couldn't help but said, "Of course it's for your sake."

"my business?"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Jiayue began to ask: "Is your company in a big crisis right now..."

Xu Ruining was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said, "It's nothing, don't worry, I will take care of it."

"Xu Ruining, you are an idiot, why don't you carry it by yourself." Lin Jiayue couldn't help cursing directly.

Xu Ruining still smiled? Laughed? Said: "Idiot, it will be fine, as long as everything is fine with you."

While on the phone, Lin Jiayue curled up and couldn't stop crying. Xu Ruining, a fool, would always report good news but not bad news in front of her. If she hadn't been so careful and asked Huang Ying to ask about the situation, maybe Now she is still kept in the dark, thinking that things are not as big as she thought.

After a while, Xu Ruining couldn't help asking: "Are you... crying?" in an extremely cautious voice.

Lin Jiayue sniffed her nose and quickly wiped away her tears and said, "No, I won't cry."

Xu Ruining had no choice but to quickly say, "I'll finish the matter on my side and go back as soon as possible."

"Hmm~" Lin Jiayue obediently responded.

Later, for some reason, listening to Xu Ruining's voice made her feel very at ease, and Lin Jiayue unconsciously fell asleep while listening to the phone.

In this way, a new day came again. It was Saturday and there was no class.

But? Lin Jiayue still got up early to dress up, packed up her luggage, took the car keys and went out. Breakfast was settled with sandwiches from the convenience store, and then she drove straight to her destination.

Speaking of which, today is Lin Jiayue's first visit to the other party's home, although the time we have known each other is not short.

In a villa in a rich area of ​​Haigang City, the big bed in the bedroom was a mess. Two young girls in scanty clothes were still sleeping, but Li Zhenxi was already wrapped in a nightgown and got up to wash up.

There is no other reason, because she received a call from Lin Jiayue to visit her early in the morning, so she had to prepare well.

The two met soon, and the place was in the living room on the first floor of the villa.

Lin Jiayue was led along the way, and she saw Li Zhenxi was drinking her first cup of coffee in the morning leisurely.

"Sister Zhenxi, I'm sorry for coming so early? I came to bother you." The first sentence of the meeting was Lin Jiayue's apology.

Li Zhenxi half-covered his mouth and laughed, with a soft voice: "Where is it, I am really surprised that Xiao Jiayue can come to me, it is too rare."

Lin Jiayue smiled embarrassingly, and then raised her eyes to look at the other party, as if no matter when she saw her, she always looked energetic and radiant.

"By the way, Xiao Jiayue passed so early? Come to see me, what's the matter?"

Lin Jiayue lowered her eyes secretly, fiddling with her fingers, a little? Not knowing what to do? Open her mouth.

Li Zhenxi saw her embarrassment, and took the initiative to say: "It's okay, you tell me, if I can help you with anything, I would be happy to do so."

"It's not me." Lin Jiayue raised her head suddenly when she heard the words, and then confessed: "It's Xu Ruining. She has encountered a big crisis in her business. Sister Zhenxi, can you help her?"

As soon as the words came out, Li Zhenxi suddenly fell into silence, and his eyes moved elsewhere intentionally.

"Sister Zhenxi?" Lin Jiayue called out a little, trying to test it out.

Although the Li family is no longer what it used to be, after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Lin Jiayue still has a little hope for this.

"Little Jiayue." Li Zhenxi turned his head to face her, suddenly called her heavily, and said solemnly, "It's not that I don't want to help Lao Xu, but that I can't do anything about it."

Lin Jiayue's heart skipped a beat. Even Li Zhenxi's sister, who has such a huge network of connections, can't do anything about it?

"Zhou Cijing's strength today is different from that of the past. In other words, we are not her opponents. The Li family is nothing but the airs of a wealthy and noble family. When it comes to external worries, there are also many internal troubles?"

"Internal trouble... what do you mean?" Lin Jiayue asked knowingly with her eyes open.

"There are a lot of internal troubles? All the able-bodied officers under her have started to turn against each other. Even those? Shareholders have begun to sell their stocks when they saw that the situation is not right. It seems that this time it may really be impossible to recover. .” Li Zhenxi sighed helplessly.

Lin Jiayue couldn't believe that she was already surrounded by enemies.

Not remembering how she got out, Lin Jiayue walked back to the car with heavy steps.

She didn't start the car for a long time, and couldn't help but echo in her mind the last words Li Zhenxi said to her before leaving.

"Although I don't know whether it will work or not, maybe I can give it a go. At least I can help Lao Xu gain some time. If I have time, maybe I can think of countermeasures. Of course, it's up to you to do it or not, after all. There is no guarantee that it will be absolutely useful."

She raised her hand heavily and grabbed the steering wheel, but how could she do that kind of thing?
