At the airport that afternoon , Xu Lin emerged from the exit . Her slender , impressive figure remained unchanged , a striking sight in the crowd. She wore a purple dress , black stockings , high heels , and sunglasses. She pulled a suitcase with her left hand and draped a light gray windbreaker over her right . Glancing around , Xu Lin soon spotted a young man in casual attire . He waved at her , smiled , and walked over.
Xu Lin expected to see a slumped, unshaven Zuo Jing, but now she was met with a sunny, handsome young man, even more robust and tall. It wasn't until he called her Aunt Xu that she realized it was Zuo Jing. The man betrayed and cuckolded by his family, where had the promised hatred and pain been? Xu Lin suspected she hadn't approached Zuo Jing correctly. What had gone wrong ? Xuan Shi described her son as dying , so what about this handsome, sunny boy ?
" Aunt Xu , Aunt Xu , what are you daydreaming about ? " Zuo Jing waved his hands in front of Xu Lin in panic !
Xu Lin came back to her senses , took off her sunglasses , and praised sincerely : " Xiao Jing , it really is you! Wow , I almost didn't recognize you. "
Zuo Jing took the suitcase , and Xu Lin took Zuo Jing's arm and walked out with him.
He turned to look at Xu Lin and asked , " Did you have a smooth journey ? "
" fine. "
" Let's go to where I live first. "
The two men came to the parking lot , walked to a black Land Rover , unlocked the car , opened the trunk ... The car slowly drove out of the parking lot , turned into the avenue , and drove forward.
who was sitting in the passenger seat , didn't know much about cars , but she could tell it was quite expensive . " Xiao Jing , is this a new car ? "
The traffic was a bit congested . Zuo Jing lit a cigarette and opened the car window . " My mother-in-law bought this for me ! " He looked out the window and said , " Another fucking traffic jam . Shit ! "
Staring at Zuo Jing's angular profile , watching him smoke skillfully and listening to him swearing , Xu Lin was a little confused . Was this still the familiar Zuo Jing ?
half an hour of stopping and starting , the Land Rover finally found its way out of the traffic jam. After another half an hour , they stopped at the entrance of a hotel. Zuo Jing got out, unloaded his suitcase , and tossed the keys to the doorman who came running over . The two of them stood at the entrance of the building . Xu Lin asked in confusion, " Xiao Jing , aren't we going to your place ? Why did you bring me to the hotel ? "
" Yes , I live here. "
Xu Lin was about to ask something when she suddenly saw a familiar figure. A group of five people , three men and two women, walked out of the hotel entrance. Xu Lin called out , " Qingqiu ? "
beautiful woman in the group heard someone calling her . She looked up and saw her mother-in-law, whom she rarely saw . She was surprised and trotted over in her high heels : " Mom , why are you here ? "
" I heard from Yaoyao that you were also in Beijing . I didn't expect to meet you here . Where are you going ? Why are there so many people here ? " Xu Lin held her daughter-in-law's hand.
Lu Qingqiu was about to say something when someone called out , " Xiao Lu , hurry up ! We can't be late. " Seeing that several people had already gotten into a business car , she had no choice but to say , " Mom , are you staying at this hotel too? What 's your room number ? I'll find you when I get back. "
Xu Lin looked at Zuo Jing.
"1048" Zuo Jing looked at Lu Qingqiu.
" Remember , Mom , Xiaojing , I'm leaving first. "
After the business car drove away , Xu Lin and Zuo Jing walked into the hotel . It was not until they entered the elevator that Xu Lin asked , " Where is your house in Beijing ? Why are you staying in a hotel? "
" I sold it . You can probably guess why. So I'm staying in a hotel for now . "
" Is that so ? You're not going to open another one for me ? "
" It's okay . My bed is big enough for you. "
Is this a question of whether the bed is too big or too small ? Although they had slept together before , Xu Lin didn't expect Zuo Jing to be so direct . She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
The two of them arrived at their room , which surprisingly had a separate bedroom and living room—a luxurious suite. After putting down their luggage , Zuo Jing said , " Aunt Xu , why don't we go downstairs and eat ? There's a really nice Western restaurant downstairs . Let me take you there. "
The restaurant 's decor was very Western , with goblets , red wine , grilled steak , and soothing music — a sophisticated, romantic atmosphere. Eating steak and drinking red wine, Xu Lin felt a bit lost. The last time she'd been to a place like this was with her husband, Liu Xinwei, their son, and their daughter. Later, she'd gone to Haojiagou , and all she'd done was watch an ugly freak eat . It was simply a way to fill her stomach , like an animal whose food and clothing have been solved , leaving only lust ...
" Xiao Jing , do you like Western food now ? I haven't eaten it in a long time . "
" It's convenient and tastes good. "
" Yeah , next time I'll bring your mom to try it too ! "
" She's a big entrepreneur , would she care about this ? "
" Don't say that about your mother . It's not easy for her either . The whole family depends on her. "
" So , what does it have to do with an outsider like me ? The Hao family has a lot of people who can take her to eat delicious food ! "
" What outsider ? It's been so long , you kid , and you still can't let it go ? "
" That's ridiculous . You're not me . Can you just let go of me ? "
" Well , okay , let me tell you something . Hao Jianghua was recuperating in the hospital shortly after you went to jail . A few months later , the knife wound healed , but it left sequelae ..." Xu Lin knew that Zuo Jing hated Hao Jianghua , and said this in the hope that he would feel better !
As expected , Zuo Jing's eyes lit up : " It seems that I didn't stab him wrongly with those three knives . At that time, I felt it was a pity that I didn't kill him . Hahahaha ... The old dog deserved it . It's retribution ! Aunt Xu , have a drink !"
" Yes , your mother had a fight with him because of you . She called you and thought you were going to commit suicide . She was so scared and cried so hard that she quickly asked me to come and see you. "
" Look at me ? Just like before , I suspected Bai Ying of cheating on me , and you came to see me and comfort me ? " Zuo Jing winked at Xu Lin.
" Hey , Xiao Jing , your mom was crying her heart out , didn't you hear ? Why are you mentioning Auntie ? "
" What you just said was heartbreaking ! "
" Is that the point ? The point is that your mother is very worried about you ! "
" What about you , Aunt Xu ? Are you worried about me ? Do you also think that I will do something bad ? " Zuo Jing took a sip of red wine.
" Of course, Auntie is on your side . Hao Jianghua deserves what he gets , and your mother is also wrong . Xiaojing is a top student from a prestigious school , so he's naturally more sensible . How could he be so stubborn , right ? Especially now , he looks more and more handsome ! "
" Aunt , why do you look at me like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law ? "
" Hehe , I told Xuanshi not to worry about it . Xiaojing, you don't look depressed at all. "
" Aunt Xu , you still look so beautiful when you smile ! "
…
The two of them finished their meal and returned to their hotel room.
