Chapter 226 How About You Live Here?

Lunar New Year's eve.

Fireworks explode.

Gorgeous and wonderful.

Haishu Garden, Lin Xia's home, this dinner was extremely dull.

Gu Jiangyan was not a talkative person and had a certain aura. When she sat down, the atmosphere at the table seemed a bit solid.

Fortunately, his apprentice Song Yao was quite active and chatted with a few people, thus managing to make the atmosphere awkward.

In the corner, two spots were vacant.

That was the position of Lin Guodong and Zhang Sheng.

But no one talked about these two people at the dinner table, and everyone deliberately avoided it.

Dinner is over.

They still haven't come back.

Yang Chen, Song Yao and others said goodbye and left one by one...

Those two positions are still empty.

Lin Xia looked at the time, it was already half past eight in the evening.

In the living room, the Spring Festival Gala has already begun.

The program is full of all kinds of festive flavors, and the most hilarious sketches seem to have become the most boring program to kill time at this moment.

Lin Xia and Gu Jiangyan were sitting and watching TV.

Lin Xia looked out the window.

The fireworks became more and more brilliant, reflecting Lin Xia's cheeks, and there was a vague sense of emptiness.

"Why don't I go look for it again?" Lin Xia finally said this: "Dad's cell phone has been ringing next door. It seems that something is wrong..."

"No need, he has his reasons for leaving."

Gu Jiangyan shook her head and looked at the TV expressionlessly.

Lin Xia looked at Gu Jiangyan for a long time and finally said nothing.

The time slowly arrived at nine ten...

Finally there was a knock on the door outside the house.

Lin Xia stood up subconsciously and walked towards the door.

The door opened.

It was Zhang Sheng and his father Lin Guodong. Lin Guodong was a little drunk at this moment.

"Dad! Zhang Sheng, what are you doing..."

Lin Guodong looked at the empty room, at Gu Jiangyan who turned towards him, and then focused on Lin Xia.

He realized something: "Sorry, I was chatting with Xiao Zhang about something and lost track of time."

"Just come back, let's have a cup of tea first." Gu Jiangyan did not blame Lin Guodong, she just stood up and poured two cups of sobering tea from the side.

Give one cup to Lin Guodong and one cup to Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng took the sobering tea, felt the strange atmosphere of this family, and finally understood something.

He, the chief culprit, could not help but feel a little regretful.

"Xiao Zhang, don't leave tonight, let's watch the Spring Festival Gala together."

"convenient?"

"It's convenient, I have more rooms here." Lin Guodong looked at Zhang Sheng with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, forget it, I'll leave after signing the contract." Zhang Sheng did not agree, but glanced at Lin Xia and Gu Jiangyan.

He vaguely felt that he shouldn't be here.

This is a rare reunion day for their family of three. It is obviously inappropriate for him, an outsider, to stay here.

"Where can you go?" Lin Guodong looked at Zhang Sheng.

"back office……"

"Do you want to go back?"

"Mr. Lin, let's sign the contract."

Zhang Sheng didn't want to talk about this topic with Lin Guodong, but said with a smile.

"good!"

Lin Guodong took Zhang Sheng into the study.

Then……

The study door was closed.

Gu Jiangyan sat back on the chair and watched the Spring Festival Gala with Lin Xia.

Lin Xia looked in the direction of the study. She originally felt that the whole house felt empty, but since her father Lin Guodong walked in, it no longer seemed empty.

Time passes little by little.

The Spring Festival Gala's sketches, acrobatics, singing and dancing...

This year's Spring Festival Gala seems to be getting better, especially after Teacher Zhao appeared on the stage, Lin Xia couldn't help laughing while watching the sketch.

but……

There is no never-ending feast.

The clock reached twelve o'clock.

Amidst the chorus, Lin Xia watched the curtain gradually fall.

The Spring Festival Gala is over.

Gu Jiangyan stood up: "Go to sleep."

"Where's Dad?"

"Wait for him!"

"oh."

Lin Xia nodded and prepared to wash up.

When passing by the study, she heard Zhang Sheng chatting with her father. She couldn't hear what they were talking about, but it seemed that her father was very interested.

What contract are they signing?

The contract hasn't been signed yet?

Lin Xia stayed briefly and then left.

While washing, he heard his mother Gu Jiangyan's phone call. Gu Jiangyan walked to the balcony and answered the phone with a serious expression.

Lin Xia walked out and saw her mother changing clothes.

"Mom, you..."

"I have to go out for something."

"That home..."

"Go to sleep first and come back after a while."

"oh."

Lin Xia watched her mother leave in a hurry. She felt her heart tremble slightly, and then she showed a reassuring smile: "Be careful on the road..."

"Keep an eye on your dad and don't let him stay up late." Gu Jiangyan paused for a moment before leaving and then said.

"Well, don't worry."

Lin Xia watched her mother walk out of the house and closed the door.

She glanced at the two people still chatting in the study, and finally returned to her room.

Lying down.

But I couldn't sleep.

The fireworks outside the window are really annoying, popping and popping, making people uneasy.

She was playing with her phone, watching the news on her phone, and thinking about her new book...

But I found myself unable to concentrate.

Time...

is still passing.

The fireworks outside the window finally stopped.

It was two o'clock in the morning.

She finally stood up and walked out of the house.

The lights were still on in the study.

But there seemed to be no chatter inside.

She finally knocked on the door.

After getting permission, the door opened, and she saw Zhang Sheng and her father Lin Guodong sitting opposite, Zhang Sheng signing a contract.

"Dad, it's time to go to bed!"

"Okay, I'll go to bed right away."

Lin Guodong turned his head and looked at his daughter, showing a gentle, but somewhat guilty look: "Is your mother out again?"

"She's busy out."

"Oh, you have to go out so late at night, you should quit this job!"

"..."

Lin Xia didn't say anything.

Just looked out the window.

"Are you sure you want to sign? It will take effect if you sign now!"

"Sign it."

"Okay! I'll give you the contact information of Xiao Sun in the strategic department..."

Zhang Sheng finally signed the contract.

After signing the contract, Lin Guodong looked for his mobile phone.

But the phone was turned off.

He charged the phone.

Just after charging, before he found Xiao Sun's contact information, his cell phone rang.

He answered the phone subconsciously.

Before he said a few words on the phone, his face changed, and then he instinctively left the study and walked to a room not far away.

"Zhang Sheng, what kind of cooperation have you reached with my dad?"

"Yes, mobile phone cooperation."

"You want to make a mobile phone?"

"Yes, I'm thinking about doing it..."

"My dad seems to like you very much. On New Year's Eve, I'll go out with you..."

"Well..."

The study fell into silence.

Zhang Sheng put down his pen and looked at Lin Xia.

Lin Xia looked out the window in a trance, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.

Then, she lowered her head and silently helped to tidy up the messy study, putting books one by one in the place where they were supposed to be.

Zhang Sheng put down the contract and looked at Lin Xia.

"Sorry, I shouldn't..."

"I'm very happy that you can come here. I also wanted to treat you to a meal and thank you very much."

Lin Xia smiled beautifully.

Gentle and beautiful, she seemed like a blooming, fragrant lily.

After she finished, she continued to pack her things.

After she finished packing, she did not leave the study, but sat on the chair next to it, reading a book and waiting silently.

The seconds in the clock on the wall made a ticking sound, and the sound was extremely clear, as if knocking on one's heart.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time.

Lin Guodong came over.

Lin Guodong's expression was extremely serious, but when he saw Lin Xia, he hesitated again.

"Lin Xia, um... Dad wants to tell you something..."

"Dad, is there something going on in the company?" Lin Xia looked up at Lin Guodong.

"Something happened in India!"

"Is it serious?"

"Life or death!" Lin Guodong looked at Lin Xia and uttered these words.

"Dad, is there anything I can do to help?" Lin Xia's face changed slightly, and then she looked at Lin Guodong.

"You go to sleep first, I may have to leave now..."

"Now? So late?"

"I booked a morning flight..."

"But you drank..."

"No problem..."

"Dad, I'll help you pack your clothes."

"Okay."

Lin Guodong couldn't see Lin Xia's expression.

Zhang Sheng couldn't see it either.

They only saw Lin Xia leave the room.

Looking at the neat study, Lin Guodong's facial muscles twitched slightly.

He looked at Zhang Sheng and smiled bitterly: "Many things in this world are really helpless."

"Well, yes, did something happen in India?" Zhang Sheng nodded and asked immediately.

"Just seize our products in India, prohibit our products from being exported, and investigate our company in India..."

"No commercial secrets, right?"

"..."Lin Guodong didn't speak, just kept silent.

Zhang Sheng realized that he seemed to have asked a very stupid question.

If there were no commercial secrets.

Why did Lin Guodong rush over there in such a hurry?

India!

This place...

It's amazing.

It's so amazing that a few crocodiles went in, took a look, and came out as geckos.

A few minutes later, Lin Xia came out with her luggage.

Lin Guodong and Zhang Sheng left the study.

"I'll be back after I finish the work over there." Lin Guodong looked at Lin Xia.

"It's okay, the work is important."

"You're alone at home..."

"Dad, don't worry, Mom is at home too, I can take care of myself."

"Oh, that's fine!"

Lin Guodong wanted to talk to Lin Xia again, but the phone rang again.

After Lin Guodong answered the phone, he walked out of the house with his luggage.

The driver trotted all the way and stuffed the luggage into the car.

Lin Xia watched Lin Guodong leave.

She stood in the wind for a long time.

Zhang Sheng packed up the contract and stood at the door. Suddenly, he remembered that Lin Guodong had not told him the contact information of that little grandson.

Even, he didn't ask the car to take him a ride?

"Are you leaving too?"

Lin Xia's voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"Well... I live here, it's not very convenient."

"Oh." Lin Xia nodded.

She watched Zhang Sheng take a taxi on the side of the road.

But after waiting for a long time, no bus came.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally walked over: "Why don't you take a nap on the sofa? When it's daybreak, it will be easier to get a taxi."

"..."
