Chapter 11: Suspicion comes from the sky when you sit at home
Lu Jingshen’s bedroom on the third floor is at the end of the corridor. Next to it is a general study, and beyond that is Lu Jingchuan’s bedroom.
"Lu Jingxue, what are you doing here?" Lu Jingchuan came out of the bedroom in his pajamas and was about to go downstairs. He met Lu Jingxue who was about to pass by his bedroom on the way to his brother's bedroom. Lu Jingxue's bedroom was on the second floor.
"Second brother, I'm here to ask Brother Shen about some work matters."
"Are you afraid you'll get scolded for asking him about his work so late at night?" Lu Jingxue spoke in a soft voice, making it hard for people to feel that she was speaking loudly to her. Although he was not very familiar with this cousin, Lu Jingchuan still kindly reminded her.
"Ah?" Lu Jingxue looked at Lu Jingchuan with innocent eyes, not understanding.
"My brother doesn't talk about work at night, especially at this time. He's busy playing games and doesn't have time to discuss work with you." Lu Jingchuan took the phone and looked at it. It was nine o'clock in the evening. He knew very well that at this time in the past two months, his brother was addicted to online games and couldn't extricate himself. The reason was naturally because Lin Jiaran was a game addict.
"Brother Shen, do you still play games?"
"Is there anything strange about that? Go back to bed now, and we'll talk tomorrow if there's anything else."
"But..." Lu Jingxue said hesitantly.
"Then go find him." Seeing that she still refused to give up and wanted to find her brother, Lu Jingchuan stopped trying to persuade her. After all, he wasn't the one being scolded.
Lu Jingxue walked to Lu Jingshen's door and knocked.
After knocking a few times and no one responded, he left with a disappointed look on his face.
Mantingxiang
Xu Hui arrived early and was waiting for Lin Jiaran at the door.
"Are you really here with something?" Xu Hui saw Lin Jiaran holding something in her hand. It was given to her by Li Minglin yesterday.
"I told you to give it back to him. If you want it, I'll give it back to you later. How about that?"
"You really don't like him?" As they walked inside, Xu Hui asked her again to confirm.
Lin Jiaran rolled her eyes at her.
"That's good. If you like it, I won't support you. You are my intended sister-in-law. Today's dinner was mainly hosted by Li Minglin. I asked you to come so that he would give up on you."
"Are you really serious? First of all, let me make it clear that I have nothing to do with the family property. Your personal behavior has nothing to do with me." Lin Jiaran quickly drew a line in the sand. After all, Xu Hui had told her before that if they killed his brother, the family property would be divided equally between them!
Lin Jiaran and Xu Hui sat on one side, and Li Minglin sat on the other side with another boy. The boy was from another department and was with Li Minglin.
"These are your things, squad leader." Lin Jiaran took the things she had brought and placed them in front of Li Minglin.
"Didn't I tell you, this is your birthday present?"
"I never celebrate my birthday, so naturally there is no such thing as receiving gifts."
"Yes, what Lin Jiaran hates most is other people giving her birthday presents. You should take it back, squad leader." Xu Hui said with a smile to come to the rescue.
"Then let's order." Li Minglin forced a smile and handed the menu to them.
"There's no need to order food. Since she has confessed, let's just speak frankly. Lin Jiaran is actually my brother's fiancée. It's because she is in school. My brother has been waiting for her to graduate, and both sets of parents are supportive." Xu Hui just made up a bunch of nonsense.
Lin Jiaran threw a look at Xu Hui. She had seen the extent to which she could lie, but this was the first time she had seen her lie to such an extent, and she sounded so sincere.
Xu Hui blinked and replied to her, saying that it was just a small scene.
"Otherwise, why would I have such a good relationship with Lin Jiaran? There is a reason for that. My brother is a cold and unkind person. He only cares about her for fear that she would make a mistake. If you pursued Lin Jiaran in front of me today and I didn't stop you, I would be beheaded tomorrow. So, Li Minglin, you'd better do good things and stay away from Lin Jiaran. Don't put your life at risk!" Xu Hui looked serious and talked about a very serious problem. Li Minglin was stunned, and Lin Jiaran felt more and more outrageous as she listened. Xu Hui was even more ridiculous than her!
"I won't say any more. My brother's calling me for a life-threatening message. Sister-in-law, let's leave quickly. My brother is waiting for us upstairs." Xu Hui's cell phone rang, and she pulled Lin Jiaran away.
The two were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Let's go." Li Minglin said with a wry smile and took the things on the table that had not been given away.
Inside the restaurant elevator.
"How is it? My acting is good, right?" Xu Hui turned off the alarm she had just set and asked for credit and reward in front of Lin Jiaran.
"The Oscar must go to you. You can even plan your time so accurately. Xu Hui, you are amazing. You are definitely a master of time management!"
"It's nothing..."
The third floor is a self-service barbecue bar. Xu Hui had reserved a seat long ago, a slightly remote spot with partitions on both sides of the seat.
There were already three people sitting next to them, and these three people were none other than Mo Shaobai, An Junfeng and Gu Qingze. They had been sitting here for a long time, and it was purely a coincidence that they met the two of them. However, neither side knew who the person opposite them was, and they were talking to each other. Mo Shaobai and the others were purely talking about work.
"You walked so fast just now, weren't you trying to hide from the person next to Li Minglin..." After the waiter brought their orders, Lin Jiaran put the chicken wings on the oven and said with a smile.
"What else? He has no muscles, no abdominal muscles, and nothing worth appreciating except a pretty face." Xu Hui took the drink given by the restaurant, poured a glass and drank it, then said calmly.
"So you're telling me you've seen his body?" The two of them spoke without reservation. After all, no one knew each other in this place!
"Fuck! Lin Jiaran, you should control your words a little more. This is a public place after all!"
"You said there is nothing worth appreciating, doesn't that mean you have seen through people!"
"I haven't seen it all, there's still one level left. I went to visit them last year when they were taking swimming lessons, and there was nothing to see! They didn't even look as good as the kids in kindergarten."
"Puff..." Lin Jiaran couldn't help but spray the water in her mouth onto Xu Hui's face. Based on their friendship, Xu Hui's words just now were simply speeding.
"Lin Jiaran! Did you slip your tongue? Do you need me to sew your mouth for free?" Xu Hui quickly took the toilet paper to wipe her face, saying gritting her teeth.
When Xu Hui shouted, the three people sitting next to them stopped talking.
"I couldn't help myself for a moment. I can't control you without a ten-year driver's license!"
"Are you a good person? Do you dare to say that your eyes are not dirty?"
"Clean than you!" Lin Jiaran said with a pretentious expression. The two of them were of the same quality.
"Yo, yo, yo, why are you pretending to be such a nice guy? To be honest, the last time I asked for two days off for no apparent reason, was it because someone slept with me so hard that I couldn't even walk?"
"Just kidding, I just don't want to go to school." Lin Jiaran evasively picked up a piece of pork belly with chopsticks and put it on the oven.
"Don't worry, if my brother dislikes you, I will kill him and we will each get half of the family property!"
"If I get arrested for no reason one day, you will be primarily responsible. No, from today on, you stay away from me. I'm afraid that if I sit at home, suspicion will come to me. I don't want to die yet."
"You look so timid. As the saying goes, be fearless and become stronger and bigger." Xu Hui said with a look of disgust.
"Don't take me with you when you brag."
"I'm telling you, I found a place full of handsome guys. We'll go check it out later, but it opens at 8pm. Do you want to go?"
"What do you mean? I can come and go freely without any time limit! Where is the location?" Lin Jiaran immediately changed her posture and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.
The three people here pricked up their ears to listen, but they didn't hear where the two people were going specifically. Xu Hui came over and whispered to Lin Jiaran.
