Chapter 63 There's Something I'm Sorry About

"Okay! I was kidding you! I'll send you back now! When you get home, just tell Mom what I said, you know?" He let her go.

"understood!"

Xia Xiaochi returned to her home in the Bauhinia Garden community, but she did not tell her mother about the arranged meeting time between the two parents.

Instead, she sent a text message asking Li Liancheng to postpone the meeting, citing that her mother was unwell.

For a few days in a row, I was in a trance when I worked, and it was always easy to make mistakes.

"Xiao Xia, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to ask for leave to go back to rest?" Team leader Yuan Mei asked with concern when she saw her complexion and mental state.

"Thank you, Sister Yuan, I'm fine!"

"What happened last time, I know you were wronged, but there's nothing I can do, I can't help you!"

Yuan Mei patted her on the shoulder to comfort her. Regarding the plagiarism of the plan, she knew it well. She believed that Xia Xiaochi was innocent, but she was also afraid of Minister Lin's despotic power.

"It has nothing to do with you, thank you for your concern!"

Xia Xiaochi took the cup to the tea room to fetch water, and happened to meet her senior, Hua Wenjun.

After fetching water, she nodded slightly and was about to leave, but Hua Wenjun grabbed her arm.

"Sister..." He seemed to have something to say.

"Senior!"

Xia Xiaochi turned around and looked at him puzzled. Ever since he confessed his love in the coffee shop last time, he felt that Xia Xiaochi had been deliberately avoiding him.

"Wait for me after get off work today! I have something to do with you!"

"All right!"

Back in the office, not long after sitting down, Xia Xiaochi was called by Minister Lin and asked her to make a cup of white coffee.

Although she didn't want to, but she couldn't refute her intention, so she obediently made a cup of coffee and sent it to her office.

Lin Jiaran turned around from the swivel chair, was playing with the pen for signature in his hand, looked at her silently for a moment, picked up the coffee and took a sip, said: "The coffee tastes good! Who did you learn how to make coffee from?"

Lin Jiaran's attitude took another 360-degree turn, making people unable to help but speculate, her tone sounded like she was chatting with an old friend.

"I used to work in a coffee shop!" Xia Xiaochi replied truthfully.

"Well, can you cook?"

"know a little."

Lin Jiaran chatted with her suddenly, it's weird!

"Xia Xiaochi, you won!" Lin Jiaran stared at her unblinkingly, making her trembling all over, unable to understand the tone of her words.

"Brother Liancheng and I are back as siblings again, you should have heard about it!"

Xia Xiaochi remained silent.

"Actually, Brother Liancheng and I grew up together. I depended on him very much. I dreamed of marrying him when I was young. I don't know if you can understand my feelings! Oh, but things didn't go as planned. No matter what I paid No matter how hard I try, I still can't make him fall in love with me, what a pity!

"Now, I finally understand that emotional matters really can't be forced. Even without you, Xia Xiaochi, he would still like Wang Xiaochi and Li Xiaochi. In this case, why can't I be more generous to you?"

From Lin Jiaran's eyes, Xia Xiaochi saw a light called a faint light of sadness, which is the common pain of all those who cannot love each other, and they are helpless and reluctant to give up.

"If you can make Brother Liancheng happy, then I will sincerely bless you. Of course, maybe in the future, I will call you sister-in-law! I just hope that you don't mind what I have done to you before!" Lin Jiaran expressed herself sorry.

"It's ok."

"Thank you for your understanding. Don't say anything else, I think we may still be friends, are you right?" Lin Jiaran walked up to Xia Xiaochi, smiled and extended a friendly hand to her.

Xia Xiaochi looked at her in embarrassment, a little unbelievable, but she shook hands with her anyway, which probably meant to settle the suspicion!

Later, Lin Jiaran chatted with her about some interesting things about Li Liancheng's childhood.

Although it was like in a dream, she really felt Lin Jiaran's change and her sincerity. A rival in love became a friend. There is no better result than this!
Leaving the minister's office, just as his butt touched the bench, Xiao Li, who was in charge of sending and receiving newspapers and letters in the same department, walked in from the door, holding some couriers and letters in his arms.

When passing by Xia Xiaochi's place, Xiao Li put an orange envelope on her desk and said, "Xiao Xia, here is a letter from you!"

"Oh, thanks!"

Xia Xiaochi picked up the envelope and looked at it. It was an anonymous letter, and the handwriting was also printed. She couldn't help but wonder in her heart: "Who sent me the letter?"

When she opened the envelope and looked inside, she found that it was not an ordinary letter, but a few photos.

Pulling out one-third of one of them, after seeing the content on it, she covered the envelope and the photo in shock, her mind went blank, and she felt that her chest was about to suffocate.

In a panic, she stuffed the envelope into her pocket, rushed out of the office, and ran to the bathroom.

Sitting on the toilet in the cubicle, she looked at the photos in the envelope, which were similar to candid photos.

One of them has a half-back view of a man. Although it is not clear who the man is, it is definitely not Li Liancheng, so... it must be Xu Houlin...

Xia Xiaochi covered her mouth, her hand holding the photo was trembling, her heart was completely confused, she was in a panic, not knowing what to do.

The night in the hotel was secretly photographed, and the other party sent it to the company!

At this moment, Xia Xiaochi couldn't calmly think about who sent the photos and what was the purpose of sending them.

She only thought of one thing, she had a reason to be caught, if these photos were seen by her mother, if Li Liancheng saw them, if they were made public, what would happen?

What face does she have to live on?
Cold sweat had already soaked the palms of her hands, Xia Xiaochi felt dizzy, and her world became too dark. She tore up the photos and flushed them all into the toilet, but instead of feeling relieved, she became more oppressed and heavy.

Xia Xiaochi didn't know that she had returned to the office, and always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her from behind, as if they could see through all the fear and helplessness in her heart.

Her people slumped in their seats, mentally under pressure.

She sent a message to Li Liancheng to cancel the date that night. The excuse was that she needed to work overtime. She dared not tell him that she was going to see her senior Hua Wenjun after get off work.

I don't know when it started, she lied to Li Liancheng, one lie after another, out of control.

After getting off work, I met Hua Wenjun at the backstreet platform, then got into Hua Wenjun's car and went to a restaurant in the city for dinner. They sat by the window, facing each other.

In the restaurant, the atmosphere was good, but Xia Xiaochi's tense face did not match the atmosphere.

"Don't worry! I won't compete with you to pay the bill tonight! I'll treat you tonight!" Hua Wenjun smiled brightly and warmly.

"It's my turn to treat you this time! I still owe you last time!" Xia Xiao said hastily.

"Sister, you don't owe me anything!" Hua Wenjun suddenly suppressed his smile, and said seriously, "I'm sorry about something!"

Xia Xiaochi raised her head in confusion, looked into his eyes, why did she say sorry?

"It's only now that I heard about your mother being hospitalized in a car accident some time ago. It's a pity that I didn't rush to you in the first place to help you and comfort you!"

"It's okay, my mother has been discharged from the hospital! Thank you for your concern!" Xia Xiaochi smiled slightly.

"Why are you always so polite to me?"

"This should be regarded as the most basic courtesy!" Xia Xiaochi said.

"But you are too polite to me!" Hua Wenjun smiled, and said again: "We have known each other for so long, it seems that I haven't talked much about myself to you!"

"Well, tell me!" Xia Xiaochi was willing to be his listener.

"I have been alone for so many years. I have traveled far and wide, suffered a lot, and worked hard. I was finally able to buy a house, a car, and a decent annual salary. I have all the supplies, and my life is getting better day by day. But I always feel like there is something missing at home!"

"What is missing?"

"The family still lacks a hostess!" Hua Wenjun gently held her little hand, stared at her and said, "Come on, Xia Xiaochi, be my other half, I will treat you well for the rest of my life, and I will be with you Be filial to your mother, are you willing?"

To show his seriousness, Hua Wenjun took out a big red velvet cloth box from his pocket, flipped off the lid, and put it in her palm.

It was a shiny diamond ring, and it was him proposing to her. Xia Xiaochi was stunned and speechless.

In silence, he didn't know that Li Liancheng had already seen everything in a car on the side of the road outside. He saw Hua Wenjun and Xia Xiaochi's hands holding each other with his own eyes, and Hua Wenjun was proposing marriage.

Li Liancheng ordered Bi Luochun to drive, and he kept telling himself in his heart that none of this was true, just like when he misunderstood Xia Xiaochi and Xu Houlin that time, there was nothing, right?

He should trust Xia Xiaochi, trust her!

In the restaurant, Xia Xiaochi came back to his senses, withdrew his hand regretfully, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, senior! Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not worthy..."

"Don't talk about yourself like that, you don't know how good you are, in my mind, you are the most perfect girl!" Hua Wenjun said again.

"I'm not as good as you said!" Xia Xiaochi felt ashamed of his praise, especially for her now.

"I know! I know it's because other people in the company are talking about you, saying that you are pushy, and that you don't attract the general manager. I am also very angry, but I believe that you are not that kind of girl!" Hua Wenjun hastily defended .

Xia Xiaochi thought in her heart that it was impossible for her to accept Hua Wenjun. In order to prevent him from wasting time on her, she felt that it was necessary to clarify the matter.

She was silent for a while, then slowly raised her eyes and said, "Senior, in fact, I am that kind of girl. I like to show off and do so many things just to get the attention of the general manager. To tell you the truth, I like Li Liancheng, really like!"

"No! I don't believe it! Those are all rumors! They are all deliberately slandering you!" Hua Wenjun seemed to have been greatly stimulated, and his attitude was a little excited.

"It's true! What they said is true! I joined the company because of Li Liancheng! He has status, status, handsomeness and money. What girl doesn't like a man like that! I'm no exception, but I don't have a beautiful appearance, so if I want to attract his attention, I have to play tricks and tricks..."

Unable to listen anymore, Hua Wenjun stared at the eloquent Xia Xiaochi in amazement, and suddenly felt that the simple, unworldly elementary school girl in his mind had changed, and he almost didn't know him anymore.

Being rejected was already a big blow, but it happened to let him see her true face, it was a blow that made things worse.

If life is just like seeing it for the first time...Hua Wenjun thought about this poem over and over in his heart!
Xia Xiaochi looked at Hua Wenjun's dimmed starlight and his bright smile disappeared. She was also very sad. She didn't mean to deceive him, nor did she want to hurt him, but if she didn't, what could she do?
