Chapter 18 He likes you

The reports on Yang Maoxue lasted for a month.

Yang Maoxue received a medal from the city.

The director of Yuhe TV Station also praised Qu Lianjie’s column team at Monday’s conference.

Qu Lianjie was happy and decided to have dinner together in the evening.

Zhu Shan was also considered a big contributor. Qu Lianjie asked in front of all the team members, "Shanshan, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Zhu Shan looked at the seniors, "Expensive."

Qu Lianjie sighed depressedly, "I thought the new guy could be polite."

This made everyone laugh.

Zhu Shan took out her mobile phone and sent Ling Xiao a WeChat message.

Zhu Shan: [Department dinner in the evening]

When it was almost time to get off work, Zhu Shan saw the unread messages.

Ling Xiao: [Where? 】

Zhu Shan frowned. He was at the TV station, at work, where else could he be?

Soon, she realized that Ling Xiao asked where she was having dinner.

Zhu Shan: [I don’t know yet]

When it was almost six o'clock, Qu Lianjie sent the dinner address in the work group.

It is a seafood buffet, which is indeed quite expensive.

Zhu Shan sat with Wu Jing that night and felt that she was in high spirits and drank a lot of wine.

It wasn't until Wu Jing went to the toilet feeling uncomfortable that Zhu Shan realized something was wrong.

Wu Jing vomited a little violently and suddenly started crying while holding Zhu Shan.

Wu Jing, "My boyfriend cheated on me."

Zhu Shan was stunned for a moment and then enlightened her, "Sister Jing, scumbags are not worth it."

"I've met him and that girl's childhood sweethearts a few times, and we treat them like little sisters every time. Who knew they'd always had a crush on each other, so I'm a fucking alternative!" Wu Jing sniffed, "Bitch. Men even come to me and cry, asking me to help them.”

Zhu Shan was speechless and could only hug Wu Jing.

Wu Jing pushed Zhu Shan away, took a unsteady step, and stood firm, "You said that I am the real wife, but just because they are childhood sweethearts, does it mean that it is unreasonable for me not to forgive and not to let go peacefully?"

"You're not being unreasonable. It's because he didn't understand what he was thinking and came to provoke you."

Wu Jing's eyes were red, and she refused to let Zhu Shan help her. She said in frustration, "I didn't dare to say anything before, because I was afraid that if I did, my little childhood friend would have nothing to do with him. Now, Xiao Qingmei said that I finally figured out my own feelings. I didn't He treats me as an older brother, so he can only break up with me."

Zhu Shan responded, "Scumbag!"

Wu Jing hugged Zhu Shan:

"That's so touching. Why the hell do you have a crush on someone else to provoke me?"

"Am I fucking cannon fodder?"

"Use me to prove how passionate and sincere their love is?"

"ill!"

Wu Jing ran out of energy as she cursed.

Zhu Shan quickly held her waist, "Sister Jing, where do you live? Shall I take you back?"

"No, I can go back by myself. It's all on my own anyway."

It's all just me anyway.

This sentence made Zhu Shan feel a little uncomfortable.

Wu Jing once said that she was from outside the country and came here because her boyfriend was here.

Wu Jing has been working in a TV station for several years. Looking back, she and her boyfriend, oh no, her ex-boyfriend have also been on good terms for several years.

Being... interfered with like this?

I don’t know how to describe it, I have a feeling of indescribable pain.

Zhu Shan rubbed the back of Wu Jing's head, "I'll take you back."

Wu Jing stepped aside, stood up, and slowly opened the corner of her mouth into a smile.

She rubbed Zhu Shan's cheeks with both hands, "Why are you so cute?"

Zhu Shan, "..."

Wu Jing, "Bai Bai is fat and fat, so cute."

Zhu Shan pouted, this sentence is unnecessary!

Suddenly there was a burst of pure music, and Zhu Shan's phone rang.

Zhu Shan put Wu Jing on her shoulders, answered the phone, and said directly, "Ling Xiao, can you pick me up?"

After saying that, she felt that she was a little too confident, so she explained, "My colleague drank too much, and I want to take her home. If you are not free... I can also take a taxi."

Ling Xiao's concise and concise inquiry came from the phone receiver, "Where are you?"

Zhu Shan reported the location of the restaurant and then helped Wu Jing back to the restaurant.

After explaining to Qu Lianjie, Ling Xiao happened to call.

Zhu Shan helped Wu Jing out of the restaurant and saw Ling Xiao's car in the distance.

She wanted to wave, but she couldn't move.

So he shouted, "Ling Xiao——"

Ling Xiao turned his head and saw them. Without hesitation, he got out of the car and came over.

Wu Jing seemed to be awakened by Zhu Shan's shouting, and murmured, "Who are you calling?"

"My... neighbor brother."

"Oh." Wu Jing nodded vaguely.

At this time, Ling Xiao has come over and opened his mouth, but has not yet spoken.

Wu Jing first raised her head and said "Huh~", then her confused eyes turned on Ling Xiao's face.

Suddenly he turned his head and looked at Zhu Shan, "Your neighbor brother is not ugly either. Why don't you treat him as a man?"

Zhu Shan, "!!!"

Wu Jing was already dizzy and had no idea what she was talking about. She turned around and hooked Ling Xiao's shoulder, "Why don't you introduce your neighbor brother to me?"

After saying that, she took her hand back in time and patted it in disgust, "No, no, my neighbor brother is also a childhood sweetheart. According to the routine, you two are in love."

What is this all about?

Zhu Shan didn't dare to look at Ling Xiao, still immersed in the embarrassment of saying bad things and having her master know about it.

In fact, even if she didn't look at it, she knew how bad Ling Xiao's face was now.

He is not a good-tempered person.

Zhu Shan pursed her lips, and her defense was extremely pale, "She is drunk."

This is all drunk talk.

Don't believe it.

Ling Xiao gave her some face, didn't say anything, and helped Wu Jing to the car. When closing the rear door, he paused.

Under the dim light, his eyes were dark, with a strong sense of oppression.

Zhu Shan's heart trembled, "What?"

"Talking the truth while drunk."

After saying that, the car door closed with a bang.

Zhu Shan was a little speechless. After telling Ling Xiao the address, she thought about how to make things right.

She put Wu Jing's head on her shoulder and explained, "Didn't we agree not to cause trouble to each other? I said you were my neighbor's brother in order not to explain the relationship between us and for fear of affecting you. Then she thought you were ugly, but I...didn't say that."

Zhu Shan's voice became smaller and smaller because of her guilty conscience.

Ling Xiao's tone was cool, "Continue editing."

Zhu Shan, "..."

Feeling that the back of his head was angry, Zhu Shan continued, "I haven't settled the score with you yet. Why did you tell Officer Song that we were husband and wife? This affects me."

The car was quiet for a few seconds before slowly stopping at a red light.

Ling Xiao turned his head sideways, with a heroic outline, "Have you forgotten why I went to the police station?"

Well, for her.

It was she who first said she had a husband, so Ling Xiao went to the police station and met Officer Song.

Therefore, she is also the one causing trouble.

"Also, what has affected you?" Ling Xiao tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, "For this reason, you go around saying that I am not a man?"

I only said it once, how can I say it everywhere?

Zhu Shan lowered her voice, "You...are you making groundless speculations?"

Ling Xiao frowned tightly. He was particularly annoyed by the words 'unfounded speculation' because the prosecutor always said these four words to him.

So his tone was full of emotion, "Unprovoked?"

Zhu Shan swallowed her saliva, "It may not be unprovoked, but it is a little bit of an extended imagination."

Ling Xiao didn't say anything and just sneered.

It's quite a bit like settling the scores in the future.

Soon we arrived at Wu Jing’s residence.

She was more awake and could thank Zhu Shan and Ling Xiao.

On the way back, Zhu Shan simply closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.

After the car entered the community, as soon as it stopped, Zhu Shan jumped out of the car with her bag in her arms, and said extremely attentively, "I'll press the elevator button."

When Ling Xiao came over, the elevator had just arrived.

Zhu Shan’s eyebrows curved, "Isn’t my service attentive?”

"Yeah." Ling Xiao said calmly, walked in and leaned lazily against the elevator wall.

Zhu Shan turned around and watched the floor indicator light jump.

She thought that as soon as the elevator door opened, she would go directly into the room to avoid the Shura field.

Come on, come on, we're already on the fifth floor.

"so......"

Behind him, Ling Xiao's oppressive voice suddenly came.

Zhu Shan couldn't help tensing up her nerves, frowning and biting her lip.

Sure enough, his next sentence was to question the question just now, "Why did you say I'm not a man..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Shan picked up the phone and put it to her ear, "Ah, Auntie, I'm here. I'm with Ling Xiao now."

After she finished speaking, she turned to Ling Xiao with an apologetic look on her face, pointed at the phone, and said in a breathy voice, "Your mother."

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and waved his hand.

Zhu Shan took a breath and continued to chat on the phone:

"Well, I'm doing fine recently, don't worry about me."

Zhu Shan glanced at him and started to flatter him.

"Ling Xiao is also kind to me. He takes me to work every day and picked me up from our department dinner today."

"Well, he takes good care of me. He takes great care of me."

"Don't be angry with him. He was very kind to me. He didn't scold me. He didn't care about me when I did something wrong or said something wrong."

"well......"

Seeing the elevator door open, Zhu Shan quickly walked out and opened the door while making a phone call.

With the sound of the combination lock, she opened the door and stood next to the shoe cabinet to change her shoes.

The shoes kicked quickly.

She now belongs to the race against time.

She didn't know what to say if she kept pushing.

Before the slippers were put on my feet, a familiar middle-aged female voice came from behind me.

"Shanshan!"

Zhu Shan felt like a landmine suddenly exploded in her head.

Hao was not exaggerating to say that her legs were weak.

Even the hands are soft.

So, the phone slipped from my hand.

Ling Xiao caught the phone and put the phone with a black screen upside down on the shoe cabinet, then slowly changed her shoes next to her.

Zhu Shan's body was stiff until Ling's mother hugged her shoulders and turned around, "Let me see, I haven't seen her for several years."

Ling Ma is very enthusiastic.

He pulled her around twice and looked at her.

It was also while spinning in circles that Zhu Shan saw the smile on the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth.

Needless to say, this is definitely not a friendly smile.

Ling's mother sighed happily, "I usually see you posting photos with a pointed chin, but it makes me feel so sad."

She patted Zhu Shan's cheek, "Looking at it this way, Ling Xiao did not treat you badly."

Zhu Shan, "..."

She was like a puppet at the moment, being pulled to the sofa by Ling's mother, "I originally wanted to call you, but I also wanted to give you a surprise, so I asked Ling Xiao to pick you up."

"Hehehe...hehehe..." Zhu Shan smiled extremely stiffly.

Suddenly, a figure enveloped him.

Zhu Shan raised her head, met Ling Xiao's sharp eyebrows, and swallowed unconsciously.

The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth raised slightly, he bent down and grabbed Zhu Shan's hand, and put her forgotten mobile phone into her palm with a 'snap'.

The tone was meaningful, "Mom, you really should call her."

Ling’s mother, "Don’t I want to surprise her?”

After saying that, she took Zhu Shan's hand and said, "Look, this child is so surprised that he can't even speak."

Zhu Shan nodded, but she was crying in her heart.

Only she knew the meaning behind Ling Xiao's words.

So just now she pretended to make a phone call in front of him and flattered him.

Does he think he is just a fool?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

Can it explode on the spot?

After Ling Xiao entered the room, Ling's mother took out a bracelet from somewhere and put it on Zhu Shan's wrist.

"This is a small stone that our team picked up during the inspection. It was ground out. Doesn't it have a bit of national characteristics?"

The bracelet feels cool against the skin.

Zhu Shan remembered that Ling’s mother once asked on WeChat which one she liked.

At that time, she thought she had bought it.

I didn't expect it to be ground.

Zhu Shan had a sore nose and hugged Ling's mother, "Auntie, I miss you so much, I really miss you."

"It's good to come back." Ling's mother also choked with sobs and patted Zhu Shan's back gently, "I've been away for so many years. It's my fault that I didn't understand Ling Xiao's thoughts."

Zhu Shan came out of Ling's mother's arms, bent down to take out a tissue to wipe her tears, and asked with sobs, "What do you mean?"

Ling’s mother, "He likes you.”

Boom——

If it was a landmine just now, now it is the power of an atomic bomb.

The explosion caused Zhu Shan's blood to flow backwards.

Ling Ma was admiring the bracelet on Zhu Shan's wrist and said:

"Back then, he objected to our adoption of you, and I lost my temper with him."

"When you were eighteen, you were still so young and your future was so long. He actually dared to make the decision privately to go to SJP to register to marry you. When I found out, I wanted to kick him out of the house."

"He just told me that he liked you back then, so he didn't want us to adopt you."

"Although I think what he did was wrong, auntie selfishly thought, if you treat me as my daughter-in-law, isn't that just like a daughter?"

"What a great thing."

"It was just to make things difficult for you during those years when you were alone abroad."
