C18 Xiao San

He couldn't remember what he was feeling. It was like when the nanny had told him that his mother had passed away a long, long time ago.

He searched the whole world, then Luer brought the police to him and showed him a video.

In the video, Li Qingqing stood by the river. In the darkness, she wore a white hospital gown. She stared at the camera in despair before jumping into the raging waves of the river …

Xu Lin couldn't accept this fact. The police said they thought it was a prank when they saw the video, but after some investigation, they did find traces of someone jumping into the river on the bridge.

The person calling the police was a young university student who was hosting a photography competition. In order to get a good view of the scene, he installed a camera beside the bridge. He originally wanted to take a picture of the sunrise, but who would've thought that he would see this scene in the video camera the next day?

Xu remembered that during those few days, it had rained heavily in City S. He had followed the police team through the rain and searched the river for several days, but they could not find Li's body.

Until now, Xu Lin had still held onto the thought that Li Qingqing might still be alive.

However, the police officer also said that the rain was too heavy and it was the height of the tide. Even if they didn't fall to their deaths, they would have long since sunk to the bottom of the river and been pushed far away by the sinking sand.

For two months, he searched the entire river, spending a huge amount of manpower and material resources to search the entire Huangpu river like a net …

However, Li Qingqing had disappeared from his life just like that, leaving him no choice but to accept the fact that she was no longer there.

Xu Lin looked at the picture beside the bed and held it close to his chest.

Three years.

He also wanted to forget that he no longer thought about that matter, and he also wanted to let go of himself. However, every time he saw Lu Er, he would think about Li's pure death, and he didn't even know if it was because he loved Li Qing Qing, or because he hated Lu Er.

Thinking of this, Xu Lin's eyes began to shine with the light of hatred.

He was about to call Ji Feng to tell him that he no longer needed to prepare the house.

For a woman like Luhr, everything that happened to her now was her retribution.

At this moment, Mo Ran's phone call came in again.

Xu Lin fretted and threw the phone to the side.

The doorbell rang.

Xu Lin sat up from the bed and sighed helplessly. He placed the photo on the table and slowly walked downstairs.

As he expected, Mo Ran was already standing in the doorway when he opened the door.

Xu Lin stared at Mo Ran's slightly tired figure before indifferently turning around.

Moran followed him through the door.

"Did you call Anly back?" Mo Ran went straight to the point at Xu Lin.

Xu Lin raised his eyebrows, "What kind of fight is Young Master Mo trying to pull off?"

"Anly just called me to say that she's at the airport. Did you tell her something that caused her to come back so quickly?" Mo Ran's face was filled with anger.

A few days ago, he had said through the phone that it would be Christmas time before he returned. Now, with such a sudden attack, other than Xu Lin, Mo Ran really couldn't think of any other reason.

"She's been in America for so long that it's understandable that she'd miss home." I thought you said it had nothing to do with her. Besides, even if it's related, you came to me in such a hurry because you did something to let her down, so you asked me to keep it a secret for you. "

If this was four years ago, Xu Lin would have helped Mo An to hide it, because Mo Ran was his best friend.

However, in the three years since Mo Ran left for America, many things had already changed.

Not to mention, the person that Mo Ran had his eyes on was Lu Er.

Mo Ran's face darkened, "Xu Lin, I hope that the matter between us will not involve innocent people."

"Innocent people?" Xu Lin turned his head and looked at Mo Ran. When their eyes met, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"Since when did Young Master Mo become so kind and start to care about innocent people?"

Mo Ran was silent, trying to find what he wanted in Xu Ran's eyes.

"Xu Lin, do we have to continue the grudges of the previous generation?" Mo Ran frowned.

"It was because she was your aunt that I didn't touch her. But I think it will be her turn soon." Xu Lin's eyes were as dark as the stars, causing Mo An to feel a bit uneasy.

The atmosphere in the company became strange. The moment Lu Er entered, he felt all sorts of gazes.

Ruhr lowered his head, automatically blocking off the gossip and went straight to the top floor.

Only being on the top floor was the quietest, because no one dared to gossip under Xu's nose.

Of course, if only he could stay on the top floor without going downstairs.

Ruhr rubbed his temples as he looked at the pile of papers on the table.

Logically speaking, shouldn't this be Wen Li's job? But now that Ji Feng had become a personal assistant, Wenli had become a special assistant and she had become a secretary?

Lu Er slightly pouted, tidied up the documents and prepared to send them to the corresponding department.

Xu Lin looked at Lu Er's subtle expression on the computer, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

It turned out that she also had an expression on her face. Did he finally feel dissatisfied?

Xu Lin looked at the half-meter tall folder on the table, then said to Ji Feng who was about to deliver a pile of documents to Lu Er's office, "Don't send me off. Go busy yourself with other tasks."

Ji Feng froze at the door.

Seeing that Xu Lin did not have a serious expression on his face, Ji Feng heaved a sigh of relief.

He estimated that his days of suffering were about to come to an end.

The moment Ji Feng walked out of the door, Wen Li called him.

Xu Lin picked up the microphone.

"CEO, Miss Anli is here. She's in the VIP reception room on the first floor." Wen Li said.

Xu Lin frowned. Was there a need to report such a small matter to him?

"Wenli, have you been too idle recently?" Xu Lin's cold voice.

It was clear that the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds. Wenli gripped the microphone and felt her entire back turn cold.

"CEO Xu, Assistant Lu has reached the first floor …" After thinking for a while, Wen Li still mustered up her courage and said this.

Others might not know about it, but she and Ji Feng were very clear about it. Boss Xu was especially interested in this Assistant Lu, while Wen Li had heard of this Miss An Li. She was notoriously crafty.

If the relationship between Ruhr and Mo Ran were to reach the ears of An Li, they would inevitably come looking for trouble.

Xu Lin hung up the phone and switched the monitor to the lobby on the first floor.

Ruhr brought a document to the front hall, sitting on a chair in boredom, waiting for the Minister to sign.

The atmosphere suddenly became unusual. Lu Er turned around and saw a beautiful young woman walking towards her.

"You are Lu Er?" the young woman arrogantly asked her.

Ruhr slowly stood up, carefully sizing up the woman in front of him. She was wearing a limited edition dress, naked red Chanel, her curly hair hanging down on her shoulders, making her face appear extremely beautiful. However, the hostility in her eyes made Ruhr a little confused.

Why couldn't she remember him as such?

"Yes." Ruhr replied in a low voice.

The young woman's eyes were fixed on his face.

Ruhr was not short, even in flats he was not much shorter than the young woman in high heels. She retracted her gaze, waiting for him to finish.

"He looks pretty good." The young woman held the bear and looked at her in a circle around him.

"However, the fact that your parents gave you a good face was not for you to be a mistress."

As soon as the woman's words came out, everyone who was left in the hall stopped in their tracks.
