When will the fog clear

Chapter 33 Adilina (3)
"Gu Huai may have gone to find her, yes, it must be like this...Brother, you must never let them meet, and you can help me one more time, okay?"

Chen Jizhen's expression was startled, and for some reason, he remembered what was wrong with Lin Miao today, and Chen Baoyue kept crying on the phone.His temples were swollen and painful from her crying, his face was expressionless, and his voice no longer had warmth: "Bao Yue, you should be thankful that you are my sister."

He also only has this sister.Otherwise, many things would not be like this. As an elder brother, he is duty-bound, but he has also done his best to her.

After the Awakening of Insects, bursts of spring thunder brought continuous patters of rain, which made the air very humid, crackling and wet the green radishes hanging on the window, and water drops slowly falling along the green leaves.

Lin Miao tiptoed to take it down, went to close the window, turned around and saw Chen Jizhen coming down the stairs, and he was fully dressed. He was about to go out, and he also looked at her.

The heating was still on in the room, Lin Miao was only wearing plain home clothes, her hair was all tied up, she looked like an immature student.

Lin Miao put the green dill on the high table, and heard him say slowly, "I'll be back very late today, if you feel bored, let auntie stay with you."

She has become less talkative since the first two days. For the first time, he couldn't understand her mind. He thought that she would be better off after she stopped working, but now the counterproductive result made him frown, and his thin lips pursed.

She responded, and then said to him: "It's okay, I will go out later."

"Where are you going?" Chen Jizhen's voice tensed, but soon he realized that his tone was not good, so he said slowly, "It's raining now, if I really want to go out, I'll see you off."

Lin Miao looked sleepy, and replied in a low voice, "You don't need to take me there, I'm just going to the hospital, it's very close...the follow-up visit will be changed to today."

Chen Jizhen was speechless for a moment, and her expression suddenly became gloomy. Seeing that he was silent, she passed him upstairs to change clothes. This was a sensitive topic between them, and she dared not touch it easily.Memory cannot be deleted, whether it is mentioned or not, it exists.

After breakfast, the two went out together. Chen Jizhen still insisted on sending Lin Miao to the hospital. Lin Miao refused. The hospital was not far from here, but it was in the opposite direction to his company. She felt it was unnecessary, so the elevator arrived on the first floor. After walking out, Chen Jizhen would have been cold-faced on weekdays, but now he didn't want to force her because of such a trivial matter.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and many people outside hid in. The corridor is very spacious, and there are some indoor entertainment facilities, so it will not be boring.

Lin Miao took out the umbrella and hadn't opened it yet, when suddenly a force of gravity hit her legs, her body staggered, but fortunately she stood still, looking down, it turned out that a chubby man was hugging her legs.

"Mum... Mi... Hug!" The little boy's articulation is still unclear, and he is probably only two years old.

It's just that his "Mommy" made Lin Miao stiffen all over, and she was really stunned.She looked down at those childish eyes, and subconsciously touched her flat stomach. No matter what others said, how she built up with herself, the shadow of losing the child was always there.She opened her mouth not knowing what to say or how to react, an old lady came up behind her, still panting, pulled the little boy over and said to Lin Miao apologetically, "Girl, didn't I touch you? This kid is naughty, he ran away like a rocket as soon as he let go, and he couldn't stop him, I'm really sorry."

The elders have apologized like this, and there is nothing to blame. Lin Miao shook her head and smiled: "It doesn't matter, this is your grandson, right? It's so cute."

"Yeah, his parents have gone abroad, so point to our old one! My daughter is only your age, and she has to travel so far, making the child cry all day long to find her parents. Hey." The old lady looked disappointed.

Lin Miao understood, no wonder the child admitted his mistake, probably because he missed his mother.

At this time, hearing the sound of a car horn outside, Lin Miao looked up and saw that it was Chen Jizhen's car. His expression was obscured by the misty rain, but the meaning should be to let her get in the car.After all, he still wants to be her master.

But the rain won't stop for a while, so Lin Miao took an umbrella and walked over after thinking about it.

Chen Jizhen drove very slowly and steadily, without saying a word, what came to mind was the way she looked at the child just now, the knuckles of her fingers turning white when she was pinching the steering wheel.

The atmosphere in the car was even more stuffy than the outside, and the windows couldn't be opened. The rain hit the glass in front one after another, and then bounced off and fell. Lin Miao felt that his life was similar to the raindrops. I don't know what it will look like.

After not working, her life is really lacklustre.

No matter how slow the drive was, the hospital still arrived. Before Lin Miao could move, Chen Jizhen unbuckled her seat belt. The distance between the two of them was within breath. He suddenly wanted to kiss her, but she avoided him: " You're going to be late, let me get off."

This is actually a very lame round, and Chen Jizhen is the biggest, so there is no such thing as whether he is late or not.

He was taken aback, and sat back uncomfortably.

Lin Miao touched the doorknob, thought for a while and asked, "When... when will I go?" The air was so stuffy that one wanted to escape.

"Your body needs to be taken care of again." Chen Jizhen paused, "It also needs to be arranged over there. What's the rush?"

"I'm just asking." The back of her getting out of the car is so thin that it makes people feel distressed.

Chen Jizhen suddenly didn't want to let her go.

After leaving the place with Chen Jitang, Lin Miao's breathing returned to normal. She was really tired.

He treats her meticulously, but she can no longer act as if nothing had happened.There are too many reasons why they can't be together.

While in the car, Chen Jizhen received a call from Lu Yi, saying that his father had gone to the company. This was rare. Since he took over the company, unless necessary, his father basically stopped asking about business matters.After listening for a while, he turned around and rushed to the company.

When they arrived, the father and son talked in the office for more than an hour. No one knew what they said, but when Father Chen left, his face was ashen, and it seemed that the conversation was not pleasant.

Of course not happy, Chen's father advocated cooperation with Xu, but Chen Jizhen did not deny it.

Chen's father asked him to come up with a cooperation plan within three days, and to discuss cooperation matters with Xu Kun, the head of the Xu family and also his friend for decades.

From a genetic point of view, Chen Jizhen's strength has been completely inherited from his father, but the blue is better than the blue, and his ideas will not be influenced by anyone.

If the Xu family simply wants to cooperate and benefit each other, then that's fine, but if there is a second meaning...he doesn't accept threats.

Lu Yi stood in front of him for a long time, afraid to say a word.

"Lu Yi."

"Yes! I'll ask them to have a meeting right away to come up with a cooperation plan." Lu Yi reflexively thought that this was what the boss wanted to ask.

"What plan?" Chen Jizhen shook his head, knocked on the table and said, "I want to ask you, how is the arrangement in Switzerland going?"

Lu Yi's thinking was slowed down by half a beat, and it took a while to answer: "Oh, it's already done, see when you want to send Miss Lin there, and I'll book a plane ticket."

Chen Jizhen nodded in satisfaction, waved him out again, and fell into deep thought.

Lin Miao left the hospital and didn't go back to the apartment directly. Xie Jiaqi looked for her several times. Lin Miao was still annoyed at Xu Aiyi because of what happened to Xu Aiyi last time. From Jiaqi's point of view, maybe she can't help herself.

They are good friends and should not have an overnight feud.

Others' harsh criticism of Lin Miao has never affected Lin Miao's tolerance for others, and it is not due to any moral sense. She just feels that her heart is small. If she is full of resentment, then other things will have no place to stand. .

Xie Jiaqi also lives in this district, and because of the rain, she took a taxi there.

When the door opened, before Lin Miao entered, he could smell the aroma, the smell of instant noodles.

Xie Jiaqi's face was still covered with flour, she smiled sheepishly: "I wanted to knead noodles to make dumplings... I didn't expect instant noodles to be the best for me."

She stuck out her tongue, sighed and felt helpless, Lin Miao couldn't help smiling when she saw her childish look.

Xie Jiaqi was afraid of her cold face, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Do you still remember when we were hiding in the dormitory and secretly hid the rice cooker to cook for supper? I was the chef at that time."

"You're the main culprit, right? You tricked us into doing bad things together, and almost got caught by the dormitory management department." Lin Miao gave her a white look, and her tone became more natural.

"Okay, the bad ones are all mine. Your lord has a lot, so don't bother with me, okay?" Xie Jiaqi took advantage of the topic and acted coquettishly, holding Lin Miao's arm.

Lin Miao didn't intend to get angry at all, and was about to nod her head when she saw that she was not walking smoothly, so she asked, "What's wrong with your feet?"

"It hurts when it rains." Xie Jiaqi pointed out the window, but she didn't care, "It's nothing, I'm not busy these days anyway, just take a break, have you eaten yet? Let me serve you a bowl of noodles too." ?”

"I'm not hungry, you can eat." Lin Miao looked at her leg and frowned. This was the last time she blocked it for herself, and it became like this after she was injured, right?And didn't she have many announcements before?Why are you not busy anymore?

Thinking of Xu Aiyi, Lin Miao's expression changed, and he asked anxiously, "Jiaqi, are you okay?"

Xie Jiaqi sat in front of her with a big bowl, eating happily, looked up at her, and asked, "What can I do? Oh... you said last time? I'm fine."

But Lin Miao could hear something was wrong, Xu Aiyi came aggressively at that time, and she lost her prestige to her, so it's not strange to embarrass Jiaqi later.But she was shocked and angry at that moment, and she was too busy to take care of herself later, and now she gradually recalls it.

"Jiaqi..."

Xie Jiaqi smiled at her: "I was afraid of offending people, so I asked you to meet in a reckless manner. It was my fault, Miaomiao, don't be angry with me again, I won't do it next time." Seeing Lin Miao shaking her head, she thought After thinking about it, he asked curiously, "What between you and that Xu...Miss Xu..."

"It's nothing important, she found the wrong person." Lin Miao didn't want to mention it.

Xie Jiaqi's smile froze for a moment, and she quickly reminded worryingly: "I heard that she has a bad temper, so be careful in the future, I don't dare to provoke her again."

For this matter, she really lost more than she gained, and lost several notices one after another, saying that there was no handwriting by Xu Aiyi behind it, so she didn't believe it, so she could only bear it.It's rare that Lin Miao and Chen Jizhen are really... Xie Jiaqi remembered some things in the past, and her face was a little ugly.

Lin Miao thought that she felt distressed because of her foot pain, so she offered to make dumplings for her. The two sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they talked for a whole day.But no one brought up the sensitive topic again.

Chen Jizhen started to go out early and return late again, Lin Miao didn't bother to ask, and continued to read the difficult German.

My aunt comes up to cook every day, and she sometimes sneaks a lesson, but my aunt has been frowning for the past two days, and she sighs when she sees her.The rumors of Chen Xu's marriage became more and more serious. Those reporters seemed to have seen the wedding, and they spoke in a precise manner. Even a middle-aged woman like Auntie, who only lives around daily necessities, has heard about it.Lin Miao just pretended not to know.

My aunt specially made sea cucumber soup today, saying that it is very good for invigorating qi and nourishing the kidney, and she also asked her to care more about Chen Jizhen, saying that the man's heart will be better, and if he wants to hold his stomach, he won't be afraid of him running away.

Lin Miao couldn't help laughing and crying, but she remembered that time when she gave away the leeks. It's been a long time in the blink of an eye. At that time, how could she have thought that they are like this now?
When Chen Jizhen came back, the aunt left in a sensible way.

The sea cucumber soup was still kept warm in the pot. Lin Miao was about to serve it, but was hugged by Chen Jizhen, and sighed softly, "It smells so good."

"Auntie made the sea cucumber soup, she said..." Lin Miao was stunned, she was too embarrassed to say the effect.

"Huh? What did you say?" In fact, Chen Jizhen had never seen anything before, except that she couldn't help teasing her when she saw her blushing.

"I didn't say anything." Lin Miao wanted to break free from him.

He hugged again: "I'm talking about how fragrant you are."

In the end, he drank the soup, but he couldn't tell whether it went into his mouth or hers.

He kissed her along her collarbone inch by inch, everywhere he went seemed to be on fire, but his movements were light and slow, and he came slowly like a treasure.

Since they were discharged from the hospital, they had never been this intimate again. He endured it for a long time, just waiting for her.

Lin Miao's body trembled, all her reactions were taught by him, so he could easily destroy her reserve.

"Don't be afraid, trust me."

Do you believe him?Lin Miao slowly closed her eyes.The long-lost passion didn't stop until late at night. Lin Miao was extremely tired, but she didn't feel sleepy at all. She turned her head and looked at the man lying beside her. He seemed to have fallen asleep.She couldn't help stretching out her hand, just touched his eyebrows and then retracted immediately, then sighed very lightly, then turned around and stopped looking at him.Chen Jiti, who was supposed to be sound asleep, slowly opened his eyes, staring at her back in a daze.

Chen Jiti created a corner of peace for Lin Miao, but outside it was full of turmoil.

On the day Chen's father had set, Chen Jizhen went to meet Xu's boss as scheduled, and he called him "Uncle Xu" politely.

"It is said that you are sitting in a sad city and you are so busy, and your father keeps nagging, so I say he is just worrying. Young people of your generation are much better than us." Xu Kun looked at him approvingly, and said The words are all compliments, but the point of friendship has the upper hand.

Chen Jizhen was also not modest: "Fortunately, I didn't lose your face."

These words are a bit overwhelming, so calm... But Xu Kun is not an ordinary person, and said in a blink of an eye: "Your father has such an excellent son as you, so he can retire early, and our family's Ai Yi will not be able to be. Messing around all day, I don’t know who I can hand over this business to in the future.”

"Uncle Xu can consider handing it over to a professional manager. After all, your health is important." Chen Jizhen turned his back on the guest and got up to pour him a cup of tea.

Xu Kun immediately raised his eyebrows. Chen Jizhen couldn't understand what he meant. If it was someone else who didn't know how to flatter him, he would have ignored him a long time ago, but he admired this friend's son even more, and he was not afraid to deal with problems. With ease, he obviously needs others, but he can still deal with it calmly.

"Outsiders are always inferior to our own people." Xu Kun sighed, and there was something in his words.

He had a good eye for seeing people, but he missed one thing. Chen Jizhen didn't come here this time to ask for something from him.

Xu Kun was about to talk about business, but at this moment, someone knocked on the door twice, and opened it before waiting for a response. The other party first shouted: "Dad!" Then he seemed to see Chen Jizhen, and said in surprise, "Brother Ji Ting, are you there?"

Xu Kun shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, no outsiders were there. It was unwise for his daughter to do so obviously.If you are too proactive and show your cards early, the opponent will not cherish it.

Xu Aiyi was used to being arrogant and reckless, so she ignored these things, and sat directly next to Chen Jizhen, with an intimate tone: "This time you should treat me to dinner, right?"

"Aiyi!" Xu Kun glared at her displeasedly, "Ji Ting and I still have something to talk about, don't make trouble."

"Then I won't talk, you guys continue talking." She made a gesture of zipping her mouth mischievously.

Xu Kun laughed angrily: "She was spoiled by me, Ji Ting, don't take it wrong." Then he asked him about the European project.

Chen Jizhen, who was silent for a while, finally opened his mouth: "I came here for this." He briefly introduced the main project, "Nowadays, the concept of environmental protection is getting deeper and deeper, and the development and utilization of clean energy is the general trend. Head, don't be afraid of not developing."

Xu Aiyi looked at him with bright eyes, as if the prey had finally been caught, and the rumors outside would no longer be rumors.

"Talk about it carefully. Xu Shuyi still has some experience in selling old people. Maybe he can help you." Xu Kun didn't take the initiative to say that he would cooperate, but only said to help, which has a different meaning.Cooperation is equal, and to help means to owe a favor.

Originally, Chen Jizhen was still a little hesitant, but after hearing what he said, he understood that it was one thing to respect elders, business was business, and it was even more impossible for his personal affairs to be involved in it.
