C34 She Didn't Want Others to Look down on Her
Lin Jia left without looking back as usual.
After she left, only Su Huai remained in the office.
Suppressing the thought of wanting to chase after her, Su Huai turned around and went to the tea room. He made himself a cup of coffee and swiftly made a plan in the depths of his heart while he waited. Although there wasn't much time tonight, he still couldn't give up. He'd already wasted too much time previously. Today's fatigue, difficulty, and pressure. . . From another perspective, it was also the repayment for those comfortable and comfortable lives back then.
The night was still very long.
He had to work hard.
Even if Lin Jia could do it, as a man, he could also do it.
He didn't want that woman to look down on him.

The weather was a bit cold.
When Lin Jia returned home, she took a hot bath for half an hour before her body, which was so cold that it didn't have any temperature at all, gradually regained consciousness.
There were more than ten missed calls on the phone.
More than half of them were from her parents. There were also a few who were Papa Liao and Mama Liao. It was impossible for them to coincidentally find all four elders on the same day to contact her. It was obvious that Senior Brother Liao had said something.
The matter between the two of them, on the other hand, required a lot of forces to involve the two families, causing the elders to be worried. This kind of behavior was not only childish, but it was also too excessive!
Lin Jia first called her mother and did not explain the details. She only said that she and Senior Brother Liao were really not suitable. They had been together for too long and were already like biological brothers. She could not give birth to any other thoughts. Even if she forced them to come together, there would not be a result.
Mother Lin had heard Lin Jia emphasise these things more than once. Today, she heard that Lin Jia had clearly refused. She knew that this matter had a result. Although she felt that it was a pity, she didn't interfere. She only tactfully said that Father Liao and Mother Liao, who lived opposite the door, had come twice today. After all, they were old neighbors who were very close to each other. They still had to face each other.
Lin Jia hung up the phone and called Mama Liao back. Mama Liao had watched her grow up. She was kind and kind, and she treated Lin Jia very well.
It was time to rest, but Mama Liao picked up the phone after the phone rang two times. Obviously, she had been waiting in front of the phone.
"Jia Jia, fate is destined for us. What should be done is done. You can't accept Junsheng. As an old man, we will respect your decision. " After a pause, Liao Jia's mother's voice trembled a little. "Junsheng called in the evening, and he was in a bad mood. You know his personality, sunny and cheerful. He doesn't have anything to worry about. He will never fuss about it. This is the first time I've seen him in such a bad mood. I'm really worried that he'll make a fool out of himself. . . "
Liao Fu's reprimanding voice came from the side, "Old hag, what nonsense are you spouting? Jun Sheng is such a big man, how can he not think about it for such a small matter? Aren't you cursing our son? "
Mother Liao seemed to have not listened and changed the location of the phone receiver. She hummed and cried softly, "Jia Jia, can you go and see Junsheng? Or you can call him. You advise him not to let his imagination run wild. His conditions are not bad in all aspects. It is not difficult to find a good girl. Furthermore, the school has already helped him settle the Beijing household register. In the future, if he bought a small house, would he be worried that he would not find a good partner? He must not do anything stupid. There's no place to buy the medicine of regret that you did on impulse. "
There was nothing wrong with saying these things to anyone.
But the problem was that Lin Jia was the one who rejected Senior Brother Liao. Now, listening to Liao Jia's mother ramble on, she felt like she was being looked down upon and blinded.
She was a little embarrassed and wanted to say an excuse to hang up the phone, but Liao Jia's mother on the other side changed from crying softly to choking loudly. In the end, it was Lin Jia who promised to contact Liao Junsheng to make sure that nothing would happen to him, so she reluctantly hung up the phone.
Lin Jia's forehead was already covered in sweat.
She held the phone with one hand and sent a message to Senior Brother Liao: Senior Brother, are you there?
Normally, Senior Brother Liao would definitely reply in less than a minute. He was a person who would habitually check his phone. If he couldn't touch it, he would have severe anxiety.
However, how rare was it? When he sent the message, there was no response.
Lin Jia waited for ten minutes. She was a little impatient, so she called him.
The phone rang for a long time, and it didn't pick up even after it automatically hung up.
Lin Jia frowned, "Don't tell me you really want to cause trouble?"
She took off the mask on her face and casually put on a set of clothes before walking out.
The lights in the corridor suddenly lit up. Su Huai walked out of the elevator and rubbed his ears as he walked.
The two of them walked face to face and were clearly stunned.
"You just got off work?"
"You're going out?"
At the same time, they spoke at the same time.
"I have an urgent matter to attend to. " Lin Jia took advantage of the fact that the elevator was not closed and walked straight in. She pressed the elevator button on the first floor with all her might.
Su Huai, who originally intended to return home, turned around and walked back into the elevator. "Do you need help?"
"What?" While Lin Jia was stunned, the elevator had already started to descend.
"It's very late. It's safer to have someone by my side. Anyway, I won't be able to sleep so early when I go back. I'll accompany you for a trip. " He hung around so casually and did not even ask for Lin Jia's opinion.
Of course, he was also prepared to be rejected.
However, Lin Jia remained silent all the way until she exited the elevator. It was as if she was lost in thought. It was more like she did not notice him following her at all.
Su Huai was extremely helpless.
His existence in front of Lin Jia had always been extremely low, but tonight, it was a new height, and she did not notice his person standing in front of her at all.
After getting into the taxi, Lin Jia took out her phone from her bag and gave an address. It was extremely far. She had run from the East Fourth Loop to the West Fourth Loop, and she had to take a roundabout route. The taxi fare alone was 200 yuan. What was Lin Jia going to do there?
Su Huai was still thinking when he suddenly heard Lin Jia say, "Thank you. "
There was only him and the driver in the car. If Lin Jia wasn't talking to the driver, then she was talking to him?
He suddenly felt flattered. He didn't blame him for meddling in other people's business. He didn't ask him to go back with cold words, nor did he reject people's cold attitude.
She said thank you, as if she was a little grateful.
Su Huai instantly felt that his depressed mood tonight instantly eased up quite a bit.
An hour later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of a small district near the university town.
Lin Jia had only come once and didn't remember the road very clearly, and she only relied on her feelings to explore.
Su Huai looked at his surroundings, then took out his phone and looked at his location. He instantly understood something.
"You rejected that male friend's pursuit, and he's threatening you by causing trouble?"
When she heard these words, Lin Jia's expression instantly became embarrassed. She didn't say anything along the way, right? Su Huai was sometimes truly intelligent to the point of making one feel uneasy.
"Let's go. Where does he live? I'll accompany you over to take a look. It's merely a breakup. What's a big man causing trouble for?" Su Huai lightly pushed Lin Jia and urged her to hurry up.
