Chapter 68
Chapter 68
Lin Zian's heart was in a mess. Coupled with the text message he received last night, he only felt that there was a lawsuit in his head. He almost caused a rear-end collision while driving, and drove all the way to a restaurant in a daze. His face completely sank.
When he got out of the car, he slammed the car door hard, and a waiter greeted him when he walked into the lobby, "Hello, do you have a reservation?"
"Li Lu." Lin Zian reported the name of the person who made the reservation.
"Come with me." The waiter led him into the elevator to a box on the fourth floor. "This is the box that Ms. Li booked."
"Thank you." Lin Zian opened the door expressionlessly and walked in.
Li Lu has arrived, her long hair has been curled up, and her well-maintained face looks to be in her thirties. She raised her head when she heard the voice, saw a strange look in the visitor's eyes, and then smiled again. Pointing to the seat beside him, he said, "Xiao An, you are here, sit here."
Lin Zian ignored her, pulled the seat opposite her and sat down. There was a big round table between them. Li Lu's expression froze for a moment.
"Say it straight, what do you want me for?" Lin Zian asked straightforwardly.
Li Lu was slightly taken aback, and uncomfortably brushed back the hair hanging from her ears with her fingers, and said with a smile: "Does a mother need a reason to invite her son to dinner?"
She slid the menu from the table to the opposite side, "Look at what you like, just order it."
"No need." Lin Zi looked at her quietly for a few seconds, "I remember I said it the last time we met, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."
"Is it because your nobleman forgets too much? Or is it because you are old and have a poor memory?"
"You!" Li Lu's face turned pale, talking about her age like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "Is this the way you talk to your parents?"
Lin Zian lowered his eyes and made himself a cup of hot tea, and took a sip slowly, "Don't say it? If you don't say it, then I'm leaving."
Li Lu's expression turned completely cold, and the corners of her raised lips were straightened. She sat up straight for a while and then leaned back, with a trace of malice in her eyes, "Okay, I'll say it straight."
She reached for the bag on the side, took out a document from it and pushed it in front of Lin Zian, "Look at this first."
Lin Zian glanced at her with raised eyebrows, and took the document bag. There were only a dozen or so A4 sheets in it, all of which were photocopies.Lin Zian's face became darker the more he looked at it. This is the agreement signed by Li Lu and Lin Liyang when they divorced. It mentioned that the man needs to provide maintenance for the other party, and the amount depends on the situation.
He vaguely heard that when the two divorced, they had a lot of trouble and Lin Liyang made a compromise, but he never expected this to be the case, and his nominal mother actually threatened him with a divorce document.
Lin Zian's eyes sank completely, he threw the document back on the table, leaned his upper body slightly forward, propped his elbows on the table, and clasped his hands tightly, "What do you want?"
"2000 million." Li Lu brushed her hair, half-closed her eyes, "Give me 2000 million, you and your dad should be able to spend this money, right?"
"Then go find him." Lin Zian said blankly, "I don't have any money."
Li Lu sneered when she heard the words, apparently not believing it, "Your grandfather's inheritance has been given to you except the company. You have no money? Don't think your mother is a fool. I don't know how much property my father has. A courtyard in the capital and the second ring road Three single-family villas, and hundreds of millions of dollars in deposits, all given to you, you have no money?"
"I said I have no money, but I have no money." Lin Zian clenched his fingers unconsciously, leaving a red and deep scratch on the back of his hand.
The aggressive woman in front of him was his mother, a mother who was connected by his blood, and this realization made his mind buzz.
It's ridiculous. The so-called emotions in this world are all jokes. Even his own mother can threaten him like an enemy. Why does he believe that he can get pure and single emotions from strangers.
"Ms. Li, although this divorce agreement states that you need to pay your living expenses, even if you don't pay, you won't necessarily win if you sue the court, right?" Lin Zian's tone was very alienated, and he sneered, "Either you personally Talk to my dad, or you can send him a lawyer's letter directly."
"You!" Li Lu's lips trembled with anger.
Lin Zian got up and wanted to leave, the woman in front of him was like a monster with a bloody mouth, he didn't want to stay in this place for a moment longer.
"Stop." Li Lu stopped him, her aggressive expression softened a bit, "Xiao'an, mom didn't mean to threaten you, I really have no choice, the company left by grandpa can't make money, Recently, there is a new project that needs 2000 million, otherwise I won’t bother you, and you don’t want all the hard work of your grandfather who loves you the most to go to waste, right?”
Lin Zian's movements stopped. The people he loves the most in this life are the two old people. His childhood memory is sitting in the courtyard of a courtyard house. The old man shook his cattail fan and told him all kinds of bizarre legends. Grab his weakness and mess up his thoughts.
He tried his best to calm down the raging anger in his chest, took a deep breath and sat back down again. The company that grandpa worked so hard all his life can't collapse just like that, but he can't just agree to give her the money Li Lu needs so easily. This is a bottomless pit, they can afford 2000 million this time, what about after that?
As far as Li Lu's habit of not caring about things and loving to be dissolute and pampering the little boy, no amount of money is enough for her to spend, so he can't let himself be put in a passive position.
Lin Zian looked at the strange woman in front of him with deep eyes, and said coldly: "I can only give you 100 million, and I don't have any more."
"100 million!?" Li Lu's expression was very dissatisfied, "Are you sending beggars?"
"Yes, or not?" Lin Zi'an emphasized his tone, "If you don't want it, you can figure it out yourself."
Li Lu looked at him deeply for a while, as if she wanted to dig out some clues, but Lin Zian's expression was impeccable, he tapped the table lightly, and repeated: "Do you want it?"
"Yes." Li Lu had no choice but to grit her teeth, "One million, give it now."
Lin Zian glanced at her sideways and smiled ironically, "I can't give it to you now, I don't think you carry a check with you, or do you 'prepare' a blank check in your hand?"
Li Lu didn't seem to understand his sarcasm, she calmly took out a stack of blank checks from her bag, tore off one from the top and handed it over, Lin Zian chuckled lightly, not surprised by her behavior.
He picked up the check and pen, signed his name and the amount of 100 million on it, and threw it casually in the middle of the table. Lin Zian stood up, straightened his clothes, turned and left.
"Xiao'an." Li Lu stopped him suddenly, "Can I have dinner with my mother?"
Lin Zian said without looking back: "No, I don't feel like seeing you. I hope this is the last time we meet. Please don't appear in front of me again."
After speaking, he opened the door of the box and left straight away.
Until he walked to the parking lot, Lin Zian couldn't hold back his broken emotions anymore. It's not that he has no feelings, on the contrary, no matter how much he refuses to admit it, his feelings are deeper and more real than ordinary people.
Lin Zian kicked hard on the edge of the roadside flower bed. His legs were slightly numb from the excessive force. He stood still and took a deep breath, opened the car door and drove away. Instead of going back to school, he went back to school. home near the school.
He didn't want to face Jiang Nian in this situation, Li Lu was enough for him, and he didn't want to see Jiang Nian's "fake" flattering face again today.
He was afraid that he would spit it out, even if he didn't eat anything tonight.
The two days passed quickly. On Friday, Lin Zian drove to try on the clothes, and he could see the mystery hidden in the design at a glance. He didn't say anything but gave Jiang Nian a hard look, and Jiang Nian smiled. Facing his anger, he didn't react in the slightest, as if he was shameless.
Lin Zian didn't bother to break up with him, so he changed his clothes and left with his bag. Although there was a lot of unhappiness between the two of them, the ensemble performance at night was very good, and the warm applause almost resounded throughout the auditorium.
After the school celebration, it was time to prepare for the final exam and lab report. All the students in the school were very busy. In the last week before the final exam, Lin Zian almost lived in the library, sleeping no more than 24 hours a week.After the exam was over, Lin Zian didn't have the energy to drive back to Xicheng, so he booked a first-class seat on the high-speed rail.
The next afternoon, he dragged his tired body and took a taxi to the high-speed rail station. Under the guidance of the staff, he found his own seat, put his luggage on the luggage rack, and Lin Zian sat down on the window seat, exhausted. His hands and feet were stretched out, and the soft seat made his aching body a lot more comfortable.
He looked sideways at the flow of people outside the window in a daze, his brain had been completely emptied due to the long-term high-speed operation, he didn't think about anything, but his eyes unconsciously stayed on the happy family of three and the young couple, and he didn't know when he was swollen with melancholy Full.
Suddenly there was a slight movement from the position beside him, Lin Zian turned his head subconsciously, but when he saw the person in front of him, his pupils shrank violently, Jiang Nian smiled at him, his beautiful eyes were full of water, "Brother Zi'an, this afternoon good."
Lin Zian narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why are you here?"
"Of course I have to go home after the holiday." Jiang Nian blinked and handed him a cup of honey grapefruit tea, "I just saw the milk tea shop downstairs."
"Don't drink, take it away." Lin Zian said sarcastically with an impatient look on his face, "Young Master, why don't you ask the driver to take you home, why don't you take the high-speed train by yourself?"
Jiang Nian's eyes flickered slightly, but he still had a sweet smile on his face, "It takes more than an hour to drive, so don't bother Uncle Wu, it's more convenient to take the high-speed rail by yourself."
As if he didn't hear Lin Zian's refusal, he put the drink on the unfolded small table and inserted the straw considerately.
Lin Zian gave him a sideways glance, while Jiang Nian looked at him with a smile, and stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, not to mention that it was a public place, Lin Zian didn't bother to refuse, he turned his face and forced himself to ignore the people around him.
He knew that Jiang Nian did it on purpose, but he couldn't do anything about it. People paid for the tickets, so could he stop him?
Fortunately, the intercity high-speed rail only lasted four to ten minutes, and it passed quickly after squinting his eyes. Lin Zian was panicked, but he could barely bear it.
Maybe knowing that he was in a bad mood, Jiang Nian didn't bother him, Lin Zian rested with his eyes closed, unexpectedly fell asleep in a daze.
His head was shaking on the back of the chair, Jiang Nian stared at him for a few seconds, stretched out his right hand and carefully leaned his head on his shoulder, his movements were very light and gentle, as if he was afraid of waking him up , at the moment when his shoulder was pressed by the object, his heart was filled with heavy emotion.
Slender fingers gently brushed the shallow lips, the lips were not dry, soft and delicate, Jiang Nian slowly lowered his eyes, feeling bitter in his heart.
Such a good person has been lost by him, and now he wants to find it, but the retreat has become a continuous and steep mountain, and there is no way out in the thick fog.
He could only bite the bullet and search slowly with the flickering kerosene lamp.
If he didn't do this, he didn't know what he would become. He had to find something for himself to suppress the growing possessive desire in his heart.
Jiang Nian put his fingertips on his lips, and the remaining body temperature seemed to seep into his body through the thin skin, adding a few coals to the crumbling fire in his heart.
The author has something to say: If I had known this before, why bother.
