Chapter 80 Why was the water in the swimming pool drained?
Lin Xu looked at the wounds on his face curiously. The corners of his mouth were torn and bruised. It didn't look like he had been knocked, but more like he had been beaten.
Xie Changyan's eyes flashed, and the place touched by her sight felt slightly hot.
He opened his thin lips slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Lin Xu's slender, green-white fingers reaching towards his wound.
Xie Changyan's brown eyes gradually became darker. It was clear that he only needed to move his body slightly to avoid her fingers, but his body was frozen in place...
"Ah, I'm sorry." Lin Xu was the first to react. When he was about to touch him, he quickly took his hand back.
She picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip to hide her embarrassment.
I almost thought Xie Changyan was her husband just now.
He also touches people.
What to do if someone calls the police.
Xie Changyan suppressed the emotions in his eyes, and his expression returned to its original state. The corners of his lips were raised in a smile that was not a smile. He leaned on the back of the chair and raised his hand to the waiter casually, asking her to refill a cup of coffee.
Then he asked Lin Xu casually, "Ms. Lin seems to be very familiar with Mr. Ji?"
"Yes." Lin Xu said matter-of-factly.
"Mr. Ji seems to be very concerned about Miss Lin, not like an ordinary friend." He said casually.
"He and I..." Lin Xu thought for a while, and suddenly didn't know how to describe their relationship to others.
The atmosphere of thinking was silent for a long time. When Xie Changyan thought she would not answer, she said, "We are family."
The relationship between mother and child is also a family relationship, which is also very appropriate.
Recalling Ji Tingyang's anger last night and Lin Xu's mention that she was married before, the smile on Xie Changyan's lips faded a bit.
I had heard before that Ji Tingyang had a canary in his villa that he loved well.
That’s it.
He tore open the syrup and stirred the newly brought coffee with a casual expression on his face. The aura emanating from him added a sense of distance from her, "Next time I meet Mr. Ji, I will tell him..."
“Do you also like to put half of the syrup in your coffee?”
Before he finished speaking, he heard Lin Xu’s surprised tone, as if she had discovered something that surprised her. It was the same happy thing again, looking at his coffee.
Xie Changyan caught the key words in her words.
Also?
Who else is like him?
Ji Tingyang?
Lin Xu was still asking excitedly, "Will you go to barbecue, do you like girls with long or short hair, what music do you like, do you have any hobbies..."
It seems Looking for something in common with him.
Xie Changyan's expression remained as usual, but deep down he was irritable.
...
Even during the Spring Festival, Ji Zeqiu was still busy, flying around to catch up on announcements.
The younger sister suddenly didn’t know what evil had taken hold of her. During the Chinese New Year, she said she wanted to go back to school to work hard, so Ji Tingyang failed to call her home.
The New Year’s Eve dinner that Lin Xu expected to be attended by the whole family was not possible after all.
The Spring Festival has passed like this.
After Ji Zeqiu finished work, the first thing he did when he got off the plane was to rush back to his apartment.
Although Lin Xu had been sending him messages during this period, and the two of them had communicated, but for some reason, thinking that Lin Xu was at home, he still couldn't wait to rush to the apartment.
No.
He didn’t rush back to see Lin Xu.
He was just too tired after working for so long and wanted to go home early to rest!
That's right!
Ji Zeqiu thought so, suppressed the excitement in his heart, pretended to be calm and pushed in the door. However, after seeing Wen Li in the room, he was stunned for a long time and asked, "Why are you here?"
As he said that, he looked around the room again and found no Lin Xu. figure.
"I came back from home after celebrating the first day of the New Year." Wen Li explained.
Originally, her parents were angry because she lost contact with Ji Tingyang and lost such a big money tree. They didn't stop until Ji Zeqiu found a new job for her father.
In the past few days when she returned home for the New Year, her parents were always trying to test the relationship between her and Ji Zeqiu, so as to prevent her from losing another rich man.
"These two men are so rich, why do they have to hang themselves on that poor student?!" They were angry and wanted her to get more money for their family.
Wen Li got tired of hearing this and came out of home before the Spring Festival was over and came to live here.
After hearing her words, Ji Zeqiu belatedly remembered that it was he who asked Wen Li to move here.
She was told everything including the password to the apartment, so it was no surprise that she appeared here.
It’s just that I haven’t thought of her during this period of time, and I actually forgot about it.
Lin Xu doesn't like Wen Li, so of course he won't come to live with her in the apartment.
The little anticipation Ji Zeqiu had before returning home suddenly disappeared. He responded lightly and pushed his suitcase through the door.
Then he glanced at Wen Li secretly, feeling a little confused.
If Wen Li continues to live here, will Lin Xu not come back?
Then should he let Wen Li leave?
Just when he was hesitant, Wen Li spoke first, "Zeqiu, I plan to move back to school today."
"Huh?" Ji Zeqiu's eyes lit up for a moment and he said immediately, "Are you leaving now? Do you have a lot of luggage? Do you want me to help you move it?"
It seems to be a very gentle and considerate question, but why does Wen Li sound weird, as if he is impatient?
She thought that Ji Zeqiu would at least try to persuade her to stay, but in the end, he didn't say a word.
Wen Li was stunned for a moment, "No, no need, I can just move it myself."
She came in a hurry, so she didn't have much luggage and had already packed it.
"Thank you for taking me in during this time, I..."
"You're welcome, I'll take you downstairs."
Before Wen Li finished speaking, Ji Zeqiu took her suitcase and pulled it out without saying a word.
Wen Li: "..."
After watching Wen Li get into a taxi and leave, Ji Zeqiu did not return to the apartment and drove directly to the Ji family villa.
Halfway through the journey, he fell into trouble again.
He ran to find Lin Xu in such a hurry, why didn't he show any restraint?
Another villain in his head said that Lin Xu had promised him a long time ago that she would go with him, and of course she could not be allowed to continue living in Ji's house.
Otherwise, how could he take revenge on Ji Tingyang.
That’s right!
Thinking about this, I stepped on the accelerator harder.
Arrived at the villa.
Ji Zeqiu pretended to be calm and secretly searched around the villa but did not find Lin Xu.
Just as he was about to go over and ask the housekeeper, his attention was attracted by the empty and waterless swimming pool in the backyard.
Last time I set off fireworks in the backyard on New Year’s Eve, I didn’t notice anything strange about the swimming pool.
“Butler, how come the water in this swimming pool has been drained?”
“Well, last time the young master fell into the swimming pool and almost drowned, Miss Lin was very scared for a while, so she let We drained all the water. Later, the young master didn’t let us put the water back in, so we just left it there.”
