C99 Weighing the Pros and Cons
Zeng Xiaoru put down her glass and went to open the door. As soon as she opened the door, a girl's crisp voice could be heard. It was the Taiwanese accent. When she spoke normally, it always made people think that she was acting like a spoiled child.
"Does Lin Jia live here?"
"Jia, someone is looking for you. " Zeng Xiaoru thought that it was Lin Jia's friend, but she didn't think too much about it and directly called for someone.
When Lin Jia walked over, she saw a girl in a white dress with a Chanel bag in her hand. Obviously, she knew Lin Jia. As soon as she appeared, she immediately waved her hand with a big smile on her face.
"Hi, Lin Jia, do you remember me? We've met twice! I'm Feng Shui Ting. You should know who I am, right? "
The girl's smile was bright and clean. Her long hair was dyed with linen, and it was tied up into a fluffy meatball on top of her head.
Lin Jia's memory was not bad.
Although she could not recognize the girl's face at first glance, she could still understand what Feng Shui Ting's three words meant.
"Xiaoru, I need to go out for a while. You can eat by yourself. " Lin Jia's expression didn't change at all.
"Are you going out? Actually, you can also invite your friend to come in and have a seat. We also have a serving of lamb chops. " Zeng Xiaoru didn't notice anything unusual. She only thought that Feng Shuiting was Lin Jia's friend's warm invitation.
Feng Shuiting's appearance was very different from that night when she was drunk. She looked like she was in her early twenties. When she saw someone, she smiled first. She had the temperament of a good girl. She heard what Zeng Xiaoru said and was about to say thank you, but Lin Jia quickly refused.
"No need. Miss Feng is not used to eating at other people's house. She must have something to talk to me about. I will go out with her. "
Lin Jia only took her phone and went out.
When the two of them were waiting for the elevator, Feng Shui Ting smiled and said, "You don't seem to be surprised that I will come to find you. "
"Is the cheque ready?" Lin Jia asked.
"A cheque? What cheque?" Feng Shuiting did not understand.
"The classic plot of the television series. A third party couldn't bear to see a couple together. They always come looking for a large cheque, throw it to the female lead, and ask her to take the money and get lost. They can never have anything to do with the male lead again. " Lin Jia realized that she was in a really good state. She was actually able to tell a joke at a time like this.
"Er. . . Can it be like this? Lin Jia, are you joking with me? You are really interesting. No wonder Su gongzi likes you so much. " Feng Shuiting was so amused that she couldn't stop laughing. "Are you saying that if I wish for you to break up with Su Huai, As long as I give you a satisfactory number, you will do as I say?"
"What's a satisfactory number? Tell me first, and I'll think about it before deciding. " Lin Jia was still calm.
"Three hundred thousand?" Feng Shui Ting actually answered.
"It's too cheap, not for sale. "
After Feng Shuiting heard that, she did not know which part of the joke she had touched. She kept giggling and said, "Then tell me a number. How much do you need before you agree?"
"Add an extra zero, three million. " Lin Jia was serious.
"No, no, that's too expensive! I don't have that much pocket money. I can't afford it. I can't afford it. " Feng Shuiting shook her head vigorously.
The first exchange between the two women was a little strange, plus. . . Interesting?
Outside the community on Julin Road, there were a few good drinks stores.
Lin Jia chose one. The one with the least customers was sitting at an empty table.
"Tell me, what do you need me for?" He was too lazy to probe, so he asked directly.
"You and Young Master Su are currently dating, right?" Feng Shuiting held her cheek with one hand and asked curiously.
"Yes. " Lin Jia replied simply.
"Young Master Su has been my fiancé for many years. If it wasn't for the Su family's bankruptcy, we would have gotten married and even had children. You should know about this, right?" Feng Shuiting asked again.
Lin Jia felt stifled.
"I can tell from your expression that you already know. What did Young Master Su tell you about this matter? The two of us have already canceled the engagement? Besides the fact that we were previously unmarried husband and wife, Or is it that he doesn't like me at all? The person he loves is you? " Seeing that Lin Jia wasn't in the mood to chat, Feng Shui Ting decided to speak up by herself.
"If you have any matters, you can directly look for Su Huai. " Lin Jia did not conceal her annoyance.
"Why would I look for him? There are some things that even if I tell him, it's not very meaningful. " Feng Shui Ting glanced at her mouth with an unwilling expression. "What Su Huai said to you isn't a lie. The marriage was decided by the two great families. He didn't intend to ask for our opinion, and we don't have the right to refuse. Whether you like it or not doesn't matter. But in the end, those who should walk together will definitely walk together. "
Feng Shuiting snapped her fingers. "For example, Su Huai and I don't love each other, but we will definitely get married. "
Lin Jia:. . . "
What kind of illogical reasoning did she hear by her ears?
She didn't love, but she had to use marriage to tie them together?
Looking at Feng Shuiting's expression, it was as if it was a matter of course, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.
"Lin Jia, Su Huai and I are going to be engaged soon. " Feng Shuiting raised her finger to let Lin Jia see the ring on her ring finger. The diamond ring's design was very beautiful, and the gem embedded on the ring shone brilliantly. It was eye-catching. "This is the engagement ring that the Su family sent me. It's quite sincere. My dad insisted that I wear it. He even said that this matter was settled. Look, it's not just Su Huai who doesn't have the freedom to refuse. Actually, I don't have it either. I didn't come to find you to persuade you to break up with Young Master Su. Whether you like it or not, the outcome will be the same. "
Feng Shuiting took a small sip of the juice that was served. She disliked the sugar in the juice and said that she was willing to drink it no matter what.
"Alright, your friend is still waiting for you to eat lamb chops at home. I won't delay you any longer. Coincidentally, I have a date tonight. If you're late, you'll get drunk! Those beasts don't make sense. " Feng Shuiting seemed to have thought of something before she left. She said inadvertently, "Young Master Su isn't here today. You must have gone on a business trip to Hong Kong, right? Do you know why you have to make this trip at the last minute? My family has made arrangements for him. Let that f * cking Vice President Lu help to think of a way to bring back some of the resources that the Su family left in Hong Kong. Where is he? Most of the time, he doesn't live for himself. If it's just for themselves, they can be capricious and get close to whoever they like. If he didn't like anyone, he would stay away from them. But whenever he had to bear the responsibility, The only thing left is to weigh the pros and cons. "
Feng Shuiting left like a gust of wind.
Lin Jia sat alone in the beverage store, drinking that sweet drink.
The surrounding noise was so noisy.
But it seemed to have nothing to do with her.
Lin Jia maintained an expression for a long time, then slowly changed her position.
The female boss of the drinks store walked over and asked Lin Jia if she needed help. Obviously, she also noticed Lin Jia's unusual behavior.
Lin Jia's brain was rumbling. She looked at the female boss blankly. She could clearly see her mouth moving, but she could also hear her voice. However, Lin Jia couldn't figure out what the boss was saying.
She thought that she had probably suffered a blow.
A very serious one.
Lin Jia walked around the neighborhood like a ghost for a long time. The sky was dark. When Zeng Xiaoru came out to buy fruits, she found that she was squatting under a tree by the roadside, hugging her knees and not moving at all.
She was picked up by Zeng Xiaoru and brought home.
After standing under the hot water head for a long time, Lin Jia's eyes finally had a focus. After taking a shower, she wrapped herself in a towel and walked out of the bathroom. However, she found that Zeng Xiaoru and her three cats were lined up in front of the bathroom door. Both humans and cats had the same worried expression on their faces as they waited for her.
"Is the lamb chop you made gone?" Lin Jia asked.
"There's another one, but it needs to be roasted for 20 minutes. Do you want to eat it? I'll make it for you. " Zeng Xiaoru asked carefully.
"Yes, I want to eat. I'm a little hungry. " Lin Jia looked exactly the same as usual.
Zeng Xiaoru immediately went to play with her oven. When she came out with the plates and wine glasses, Lin Jia had already changed her clothes and blown her hair. Her skin was still a little pale, but she looked much better than before.
She took the red glass and downed it in one gulp.
Then, she said to Zeng Xiaoru, "I plan to break up with Su Huai. "
