When will the fog clear

Chapter 41 The Truth Comes Out (1)
Then there was the establishment ceremony of Chen Jizhen's branch here, and Lin Miao was preparing for the upcoming entrance examination, so the topic of that day was shelved, and the ordinary life between the two resumed.At the reception to celebrate the opening, Lin Miao met Lu Yi, who he hadn't seen for a long time. This time, he felt different about him. The spring breeze added to his calmness. He heard that he was married and was about to be promoted.

As Chen Jizhen's female companion, Lin Miao walked around with him. She never expected that there would be so many people attending the celebration for a newly established company.After everyone was seated, the master of ceremonies gave some compliments and invited Chen Jizhen to the stage.He was born to be the king who should stand under the spotlight and be the focus. He could get applause and praise for anything he said. It seemed that he had won another beautiful battle this time.In fact, Lin Miao didn't hear what Chen Jizhen said on the stage. She just stared at his figure in a daze. She didn't come back to her senses until Lu Yi, who was sitting beside her, spoke to her.

Lu Yi said slowly: "Mr. Chen is really good, isn't he?" He immediately said, "Miss Lin, I'm not flattering, it's definitely my truth."

Seeing his nervous appearance, Lin Miao "puchi" and finally burst out laughing.

"Mr. Chen... is also working very hard. The company at home relies on him for support, like an omnipotent superman. If I were replaced by me, I would have been unable to bear it." Lu Yi suddenly wanted to talk, probably because I was married, and when I saw that my boss's relationship was not up to date, I went beyond the distance.In fact, it was not his turn to talk about these things, but he could tell Lin Miao everything he knew.To put it bluntly, if he was a woman, if someone treated him like this, he would have fallen long ago.

Lin Miao nodded following his words: "Well, he is very capable."

"No, no, no, the description of ability is too common, and it doesn't suit Mr. Chen. You must not know how hard Mr. Chen was at the beginning. In order to bid for the clean energy project, he hardly took a break during that time Originally, this kind of cross-border investment was extremely risky, and he refused to cooperate with Xu when there was a shortage of funds. Fortunately, the bank was willing to come forward to support us and give us a loan... This is not counted. Once it was implemented there, he immediately went here again He has invested, and others have said that he is bold and reckless. But you know so many projects and so many places, why did he choose this place?" Lu Yi spoke in a low voice, only the two of them heard it, and he was still worried at the end , looked around, but the focus of everyone's attention was on the stage.

He breathed a sigh of relief, paused, and said, "He said this place is good and suitable. I thought that Mr. Chen always took a fancy to the advanced technology here, and he came here a few times to arrange it. Later, I found out that he was doing it for... "He didn't say the whole thing after that, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Miao.If you don't cooperate with Xu and settle in Basel, the answer is self-evident.

Chen Jizhen thinks this place is suitable for her. He really knows herself better than she does. These few months are indeed the most comfortable days she has lived in the past few years. No one recognizes her, so she doesn't have to worry about being scolded, and she doesn't need to cry in the dark , do not want to think about why.Lin Miao turned her gaze back to the speaking seat, and said in a daze, "Mr. Lu, you are so eloquent, it seems that he should give you a promotion and a salary increase."

A shrewd person like Lu Yi felt embarrassed at this moment.He hesitated for a while: "Don't blame me for being troublesome. I'm telling the truth. Isn't there an old saying? Eat the king's reward and worry about the king's worries."

"Thank you then. By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. I wish you a happy wedding." Lin Miao lightly wanted to change the subject.

Lu Yi is also a fine person, and smiled calmly: "Thank you, I hope to have your wedding with Mr. Chen soon."

Lin Miao narrowed her eyes and remained silent.Lu Yi rubbed his nose and didn't dare to speak anymore. He knew what is enough.And his words were like throwing a seed into Lin Miao's heart, growing quietly, waiting for the day when the ground broke.

Lin Miao hadn't entered the campus for many years, and as the entrance exam got closer, she became more and more nervous.

Chen Jizhen felt that she was putting too much pressure on him. With him around, there would be no problems at all, not to mention that he believed in her ability. She was No.1 in the school that year.But the most effective consolation is her own, and others say it doesn't work.

Summer is making people impetuous again.It just so happened that Venice was going to hold a film festival, and the film company Chen Jizhen invested in was also invited to participate. Chen Jizhen didn't think long and pulled Lin Miao there.Lin Miao was not very happy at first, and thought it would be better to read a few more pages of books at home if she went out to socialize with him, but how could she speak against Chen Jizhen?Later, when Lu Yi said that Jiang Hang would also go, Lin Miao was not so resistant.

Venice.The clothes are fragrant and the temples are full of beauties, and the city is full of beauties.

This place, known as the city of water, has winding waterways and boats passing by. No matter day or night, it is full of amorous feelings.

Once there, Chen Jizhen took Lin Miao to sit on the light and unique gondola with great interest, and went around the water city, which made her completely put aside her displeasure.Knowing that he was also doing it for her own good.In Lu Yi's words, it's not that she can't tell the good from the bad, and she can't suppress some signs, not even herself.

When he said "tired" to her that day, she really wanted to rush up to hold him, even hug him and say something, but she didn't do anything.At that moment, Lin Miao just felt that she didn't know how to respond. There were too many burdens in her heart, and there were thousands of mountains and rivers between her and Chen Jizhen, so every step was very difficult.What happened back then was just a knot, even if Bao Yue woke up, she still couldn't untie it.Can she really just ignore it like this?

The film festival is very lively. It is said that it is the most literary and artistic of the major film festivals. Lin Miao had only heard it from Xie Jiaqi before, but it is different from experiencing it personally now. Heart, I don't remember any worries or complaints.No wonder so many people like to travel, they can relax and forget their worries.

Seeing that she was really fine, Chen Jizhen felt relieved to socialize with his business friends, meet at various receptions and get in touch with each other, and once words and thoughts collide, a big business may start.Lin Miao didn't know anything about business, and she was happier that Chen Jizhen was not around to take care of things.She was thinking about how to get in touch with Jiang Hang, when she happened to meet at the same hotel, and Jiang Hang had just arrived.The activities here are different every day. Jiang Hang only chooses to attend one or two of them. He doesn't like to socialize. It may be because Lin Miao is similar to him, so he supports her like this.

The two met at a nearby restaurant in the hotel.

Jiang Hang looked at Lin Miao carefully for a while, and found that she looked very good, and she was looking at him with a smile, a little more energetic than before. It seems that she is doing well?

"Are you still used to it here?" Jiang Hang bent his lips and asked with routine concern. Speaking of which, he was considered half of Lin Miao's master.

Lin Miao touched the enamel pattern on the coffee cup and smiled at Yanyan: "It's okay, but it's expensive."

Jiang Hang glanced at her angrily: "He should not be short of this money."

"Brother Jiang, I plan to support myself." Lin Miao retorted childishly, seeing him staring at her clearly, she lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Is he okay with you?" Jiang Hang didn't like Chen Jizhen very much, he was too scheming, and he didn't get along with them.

Lin Miao gave a sour nose, "Mmm", in fact, she and Jiang Hang have known each other for the shortest time, but she got such a good job because of Susan's relationship. He taught her to protect her all the way, but she didn't do it well. go down.But after not seeing each other for so long, he just asked her if she was okay, which reminded her of Susan with a cold face and a warm heart.

Looking at her like this, Jiang Hang probably didn't suffer any grievances. It must be because Chen Jizhen blocked the domestic turmoil for her, and he was responsible, so it's hard for him to talk about some things. It may not be a good thing for her to know. .Xu Kun's daughter, who was a hot pursuit of the media a while ago, suddenly ended her domestic career and went abroad, and Chen Jizhen's younger sister made a joke on the day of the engagement, and the groom did not show up.If it weren't for Lin Miao, he wouldn't have paid much attention to these things, and he didn't want this gossip to really have anything to do with her.He watched her stand up little by little.

Lao Zheng said that he was interested in this girl by protecting her so much, but he didn't know, maybe she had attractive qualities, but he should do it more for himself, to make up for what he didn't do to that person back then. It is like a kind of empathy compensation.Even though he did not approve of Lin Miao and Chen Jiti being together, the disparity in strength between men and women was not due to their background, but their intentions. Ten Lin Miao could not equal one Chen Jiti. If anything happened, Lin Miao would be doomed.But he and Lin Miao were not related, and she called him "Brother Jiang", so he was considered her elder.

"Nothing is as important as yourself. Since you are here, you should study hard. If you still want to do this business when you return to China, you can come to me."

Lin Miao quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile, "Okay, just don't dislike me when the time comes."

The weather is beautiful, during the film festival, the weather in Venice has always been good, but when the sun is shining, the number of tourists on land and water gradually increases.

Although she came here to relax, Lin Miao didn't like crowding with people very much. After playing for a few days, Chen Jizhen went to work again. She was happy to stay in the hotel, slept late, and called room service.Browsing the news on a tablet while having breakfast, she has developed this habit since the incident with Xu Aiyi last time.Perhaps it is due to insecurity, as if the Internet is a place studded with sharp claws, and whoever is caught will have a bad life.But Chen Jizhen fulfilled his promise, and the Cinderella report was only a flash in the pan.

Lin Miao slid her finger across the screen and turned a few pages, but didn't see anything worthy of attention, but... Finally, she stopped her eyes on a video alert.Xie Jiaqi had mentioned this film to Lin Miao before, saying that she would play the leading role, but now the crew did not have Xie Jiaqi at the press conference. Could it be that the role was changed temporarily, and the heroine was someone else?Lin Miao's heart sank, thinking of Jiaqi being so aggressive, she might feel uncomfortable when such a thing happened, and just about to pick up the phone to call her, unexpectedly, she received a long-distance call from her mother instead.

"Hey, Mom." Lin Miao could only have such a soft tone in front of her mother.

Mother Lin smiled: "Ninny, what's the weather like over there? Did you eat well?"

"I'm fine, I can take care of myself, you and Dad don't worry about me, but you, how are you doing recently?"

"It's great. Now your dad doesn't need a cane, and he can go downstairs to buy cigarettes by himself. I don't know how many times I told him, but the old man didn't listen." Mother Lin sighed.Lin's father only started to learn to smoke in recent years, but he smoked harder than other people's old smokers.

Lin Miao laughed angrily: "Then you have to watch him, don't smoke too much, it's not good for your health."

"I know, I'm not in my [-]s or [-]s, take care of yourself, we don't lack anything here, don't send things back all the time, it's a waste of money, just save more for yourself." Mother Lin began to break things read.Instead, Lin Miao was stunned. She only sent something back home once. How could it be called "always sending things back?"

"I don't even remember what I sent." She held her breath and asked without a trace.

Mother Lin opened up the chatter box: "What memory do you have? You didn't post the food and clothing? Your father and I don't need so many good things. You can buy them for yourself in the future if you have the conditions. Don't worry about us. "Mother Lin is always worried about her daughter's life alone and no one to take care of her. They have no ability to help her. The only thing they can do is not to cause her trouble.

Good things... Lin Miao recalled that before, her mother seldom paid attention to the price when buying things, and she would not spend money randomly, but she could afford to buy things she liked. Later, she even sold the house... She couldn't wait for a cent Break into two flowers.Lin Miao felt distressed, and now someone finally knew her pain, and quietly made up for her regrets. Lin Miao didn't expose it, and told her parents to pay attention to her body as if nothing had happened.After hanging up the phone, Lin Miao stared blankly at the sparkling water outside the window, her mood fluctuated accordingly.

When Chen Jizhen returned to the hotel, he saw Lin Miao's preoccupied look. He went over and brushed her hair, and asked softly, "Did you go out today? The water is very humid. Don't always lean against the window. You'll be here for a few days." Are you tired of watching it?"

"If you get tired of watching the scenery for a few days, wouldn't people be tired of talking about it after a few years?" Lin Miao raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

Chen Jizhen smiled slightly, nodded her forehead and said, "Don't say you're tired of watching me."

Lin Miao thought about it seriously: "Well, if I say so, you haven't lost anything. On the contrary, you've made a lot of money. As long as you walk out of this hotel, all the celebrities and ladies outside will scramble to get in front of you." The charm that attracts people to throw him down, but there seems to be no one who dares to throw him down.

"Let's think about it, are you jealous? I don't seem to have any scandals these days?" Chen Jizhen raised the corners of his lips, and his breath fell on her ears, "I don't want anyone to come, don't worry, come No one can take your place."

Lin Miao's heart trembled, he sniffed, and asked him with a frown, "Have you been drinking?"

"Just two drinks, I'm not drunk." Chen Jizhen was sober, but the feeling of alcohol was enough to activate the flirting factor in his body.

His closeness made Lin Miao's ears feel hot. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "My mother just called to say..."

Before Lin Miao finished speaking, she was interrupted by the ringtone of Chen Jizhen's cell phone.

"Wait for me, I'll answer the phone first." Chen Jiti stood up and walked aside.

"Mr. Chen, I found out that Dr. Gu has gone abroad. He has participated in an international medical assistance program and will not be back in a short time." Lu Yi paused and said, "Your mother has been asking me where you are going, because Miss Chen has After canceling the engagement, the mood is not very good..."

"Where's my father? Did you say anything?"

"He asked me to tell you that Xu always watched you grow up, and I hope you don't do too much."

"I see."

Chen Jizhen smiled coldly, who is going too far?For something like that to happen, just letting Xu Aiyi get out of the country is already taking advantage of her.And he originally planned to register with Lin Miao before sending her to study, but all his good plans were disrupted.As for Baoyue's place, he didn't want to worry about it anymore, she could do whatever she liked.He raised his eyes and looked at Lin Miao. She didn't know about it, and he didn't intend to say it, because he didn't want her to know, it was only for her own good.

Lin Miao was stared at by him for a long time, so long that he was a little embarrassed, it can be seen that his expression was calm, and it didn't look like any major incident had happened.But she still asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Chen Jizhen's mood was a little complicated, he shook his head and asked, "What did you want to tell me just now?"

Lin Miao's heartbeat quickened, and she didn't succeed in her efforts just now, and then she declined again, so now she hesitated for a long time before saying: "My mother said that she received a lot of things from 'me' to send home."

"I sent someone to give it to me." Chen Jizhen finally smiled, and immediately picked her up in the air, causing her to scream in fright.

Lin Miao had no choice but to cling to him tightly, in a funny posture, like a koala: "Put me down!"

"Are you happy?" Chen Jiti rubbed her cheek.

"You just act but don't talk, how do I know?" Lin Miao turned her eyes away, not daring to meet his gaze.

Chen Jizhen smiled, and pointed to the position of her heart: "As long as you look here, you can know everything."

Just as Lin Miao curled her lips, she immediately covered it up again. The place where his fingertips pressed against was scalding hot.

Chen Jizhen put her back on the ground, raised her chin and stared at her closely: "You seem weird today."

Some kind of feeling sprouted in my heart, can you not blame it?Lin Miao let out a "huh": "I heard that someone went to several churches to see the wedding venue. It doesn't look like him at all. Am I not surprised?" This was what Lu Yi told her quietly later, and asked her Don't say it.

Chen Jizhen's eyes darkened, and he stared at her seriously: "Who told you?"

"It's not important." Lin Miao shook her head with a childish playfulness.
