delayed love

Chapter 8 Are you not wearing a hearing aid?

The house near Cheng Si's company is not too big, more than 200 square meters, but it is enough for Lin Xi to live alone.

She only brought back two suitcases from abroad, and her uncle hasn't sent her other things yet.She had few things, and she packed them up in less than an hour after seeing Qin Yu off.

Knowing that she moved here, my aunt came over early the next morning to help her prepare daily necessities.

While fiddling with the vase, the aunt asked her how she was doing in the company these two days.

"How about the new job? Are you still used to it?"

"It's all good, you don't have to worry too much."

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her, the aunt chatted with her about other things. "The marriage between your third brother and Song Ning hasn't been settled yet."

Lin Xi tilted her hand holding the scissors, and cut off an extra part of the flower branch.

She twitched the corner of her mouth, put the rose in her hand into a vase, and said casually, "Didn't they get engaged before?"

The aunt didn't notice the strangeness on her side, and continued on her own: "A few years ago, I said that it would be settled, and I also said that Xixi could not come back to participate when she was abroad. I don't know what happened later, and it has been delayed until now. But it just so happens that you can catch up now that you are back in your country.”

"Ah."

"Hey Xixi, you haven't seen Song Ning yet, have you?"

Lin Xi didn't answer.

Speaking of the Song family, she didn't know much about it. She only knew that Song Ning's father was in politics, and he only moved to Beijing a few years ago because of a job transfer.And Song Ning and Qin Yu are university alumni, learned broadcasting in university, and are now the hosts of a certain program on Beijing Main Station.

"You juniors have a good time. Usually, your third brother hasn't mentioned the matter of marriage?"

"I just returned to China, and I haven't seen him many times."

"That's right." The aunt nodded, "Then how are you and Lu Bei doing lately? He was late last time because of work. I think that kid looks good. Although he is not as calm as your third brother and the others, he is still very good. "

Mentioning this matter gave Lin Xi a headache.

"Let's talk about it later, don't worry."

"How can I do that? You're going to be 25 soon, so it's time to talk about one." The aunt didn't want to urge the marriage at first, but she thought that except for Lin Xi, the elders in the family were all getting old, and when they were gone, Lin Xi really has no relatives.

"There are many people in the courtyard who are older than me. Fourth Brother and the others haven't settled yet."

The aunt scolded: "Talk about them again. I really have to urge them, otherwise you have to use this to prevaricate me."

Ever since she was a child, Lin Xi used to move Cheng Si and the others out to block the gun.Because she is the youngest in the courtyard, the elders will not hold her tightly every time they are mentioned.

Having escaped again, Lin Xi smiled and shrugged, not taking this matter to heart.

-

On Friday night, the research and development department of Feiyun Technology left work early because Lin Xi wanted to treat guests to dinner.

Everyone didn't know where she chose, and they thought it was just a simple meal, so they didn't pay much attention.When they arrived at the place, a group of people stood on the side of the road in a daze, looking up at the magnificent entertainment club opposite, so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.

"Lin, Lin Gong, do we want, want, really want to eat here?" Chen Gong was frightened and stuttered, and looked at each other with several others.

It can be said that this is the exclusive place for the children of rich families in Beijing, and it is located in the busiest business district in Beijing.Legend has it that a membership system is implemented here, and just one "admission ticket" costs as much as one million. Most people don't even dare to take a second look when passing by, let alone going in.

Lin Xi walked in front and replied, "Well, it's close to the company, so it's more convenient."

Everyone: "..." Is this an inconvenient question?
Seeing her so calm, everyone suppressed their uneasiness and quickly followed.

At the door, the waiter who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward when he saw Lin Xi

"Ms. Lin, good evening." After finishing speaking, he made a "please" gesture to her.

There was silence in the lobby, except for the sound of footsteps.

The waiters standing on both sides smiled and bowed all the way, greeting Lin Xi one after another, "Good evening, Miss Lin."

A group of people looked around curiously while walking, some were frightened by the battle.

Behind him, Lin Xi's assistant and other colleagues whispered: "It is said on the Internet that a single lamp here costs a million dollars, I don't know if it is true..."

"It's true, ma'am." The waiter in front turned to her and signaled to her, "The lamps and lanterns you can see in the lobby are all custom-made, and these chandeliers are indeed worth millions."

Hearing this, several people gasped, and looked at Lin Xi more cautiously.

Lin Xi has been employed for a week, but they don't know her well.All I know is that she is very close to Mr. Cheng and has experience studying abroad.As for her family background, she never mentioned it.Many people took the opportunity to test, but she also avoided talking about it.

Because it is too mysterious, everyone has different opinions in private, guessing that she should have some background, but they never thought that her identity is so simple.

-

In front of the elevator, the waiter just pressed the button.Lin Xi stroked the beads on her wrist with her fingers, and looked ahead indifferently.

The elevator door next door opened first, and people came out one after another.Immediately afterwards, a female voice sounded next to him: "Lin Xi?"

The voice sounded familiar at first, Lin Xi frowned slightly, and turned her head to look over.When I caught my eye, the woman opposite was wearing a tube top dress with exquisite makeup.

"Song Ning?! Are you Song Ning!" Before Lin Xi could reply, the assistant behind her was already excited.

Song Ning smiled: "I'm Song Ning, hello."

"It's really you! I really like your show! You are more beautiful in person than on TV!"

"And me! I like you too!" Other colleagues hurried over.

"Thank you, you are beautiful too." Turning around, Song Ning looked at Lin Xi again: "It's really Xixi. When did you return to China? Qin Yu never told me."

Lin Xi had no expression on her face, she said "um" lightly, and then said nothing.

He looked like he didn't know Song Ning.

Seeing this, a group of people who eat melons suddenly fell silent, looking back and forth at the two of them.A few seconds later, the assistant boldly said, "Gong Lin, do you know Song Ning?"

Lin Xi stared ahead, without giving them a look, and only replied: "Yes, I'm not familiar with it."

The attitude of the two is a judgment call.One enthusiastic, one indifferent.

The assistant realized something, and quickly shut up, not daring to speak.

Song Ning took a step forward and glanced past Lin Xi's ears, "I just realized that you didn't wear a hearing aid when you went out. Are you able to hear with your ears?"

"It seems that the speech is much smoother than before. It's not like before, when you can't speak, which makes people feel distressed. Over the years, you seem to have changed a lot, and you have become more beautiful."

The amount of information in these words was too much, and several people held their breaths and silently acted as the background board.

Finally, a trace of expression appeared on Lin Xi's calm face. She folded her arms and turned sideways, raising her eyebrows to meet Song Ning's gaze.

"It's not as good as Miss Song. Seven years have passed, but you haven't changed at all. This mouth is still as ugly as ever."
