Chapter 253 You Heard It Right
Lin Hai didn't sleep for two nights, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
Lin Zheng kicked the door open and wanted to pull him out, but when he saw the distraught man, he took a step back and exclaimed.
"Where did this homeless person come from?"
It’s no wonder that Lin Zheng teased his brother like this. Lin Hai was no different from a homeless person at this moment.
His clothes were wrinkled, his face was haggard, and his chin was bruised.
He is no longer the high-spirited Young Master Lin of the past.
When he saw his elder brother, Lin Hai's eyes were dazed for a moment, as if he was not sure what had happened. Zhou Qi's death had dealt him a big blow.
"There will be an event soon, and I don't have time to go. You can go in my place." Lin Zheng said.
"Brother, I'm not in the mood right now." These past few days, Lin Hai's mind was filled with flashbacks, thinking about his past with Zhou Qi.
But more often, he would ask himself repeatedly, is she really gone?
He still didn't want to accept the reality that Zhou Qi had left. He always felt that she was still in the house he bought, waiting to give him a bright smile when he pushed the door open.
"Whether you are in the mood or not, you have to go. If you have time to pretend to be a romantic, you can just do it right away..." The rude words came out of his mouth, but he held them back when he saw the lady appear at the door.
"What were you doing so far? Hurry up and change your clothes and look presentable before you go. Don't look sloppy and unkempt, like the Lin family is going bankrupt."
"Sister-in-law, can you find a way to let me see her? I really want to see her just once!"
Lin Hai begged Yu Ning.
"It's not a bad thing to cherish the old times and cling to the memories, but you have to do it in moderation. Life always has to look forward. Maybe there is a beautiful scenery for you not far away." Yu Ning said vaguely.
"Is she really gone? Even with my life I can't bring her back?" Lin Hai was immersed in his own world and didn't listen to Ning's words at all.
"You have already helped her." Yu Ning said objectively.
If Lin Hai had not truly fallen in love with Zhou Qi, the Lin family's curse would not have judged Zhou Qi as a member of the Lin family and snatched away his soul.
Lin Hai, who plays in the world of games, has long lost his true heart in these games without knowing it.
"Hurry up and change your clothes. Don't be late." Lin Zheng hugged his wife and went out, and added, "Even dogs hate delayed affection."
He told Yu Ning everything she was thinking, but Yu Ning was reluctant to stab Lin Lao San a few more times.
"After the banquet, do me a favor." Yu Ning said.
"What help?" Lin Laosan asked weakly.
"I bought a pair of dancing shoes and want to give them to my friend. Can you help me deliver them to him?"
"Sister-in-law, can you help me run errands as a delivery boy?" For this kind of thing, you can just find a driver at home, why must he go?
"Stop humiliating the delivery boy. At least he is working hard to make a living. Who would be as depraved as you? Remember to do what I told you to do." Lin Zheng scolded his brother coolly and walked away with Yu Ning in a swagger.
Lin Laosan's dead heart felt a little warmed up when he saw the exquisite box sent by Yu Ning.
The pair of dance shoes chosen by Yu Ning are very beautiful. The pure white uppers are embellished with several three-dimensional roses. They are handmade by craftsmen and are the best gift for dancers.
The moment Lin Hai saw it, those dead memories began to attack him frantically again.
Zhou Qi’s favorite shoes are of this brand.
Last Christmas, he was having a hot affair with a third-tier celebrity and forgot her birthday, so she waited for him at home all night.
When he finally remembered this matter, she just said indifferently that it was okay. Because of his guilty conscience, he said he wanted to compensate her with a gift, so she asked him to personally buy her a pair of dance shoes of this brand.
Lin Hai agreed readily and handed the matter over to his assistant, but changed his mind after seeing the bill the assistant handed over. Although this brand is considered expensive among professional shoes, the price of several thousand dollars still made Lin San Shao feel that it was not up to par, so he switched to another more expensive brand, thinking that he had achieved comprehensiveness.
He took the disappointed look in her eyes after she opened the box as a tactic of playing hard to get, thinking that she was too greedy and deliberately ignored her for a few days to hang out with the little star.
When he felt the time was right, he went back to find her. Her eyelids were swollen. He knew why but pretended not to know. He slapped her in the face and asked her what else she wanted, as if giving her a sweet date.
This time she thought about it for a long time and said carefully that she wanted to go to Disney with him to take castle photos.
He agreed readily, but was so busy with work that he forgot about it.
She never mentioned it either.
When he talked about her, he always thought she was a good-tempered and submissive girl, but it was only after she left that he realized that perhaps she once had her own thorns.
He plucked them out one by one.
And the thorns he had casually pulled out became knives after she left, stabbing his heart with each one.
Boomerang came a little late, but he got what he deserved.
"Third, Third Young Master?" Aunt Wu asked hesitantly.
She had been there for a while, but was so frightened by the Third Master's expression that she dared not speak. He was clearly smiling, but it felt like he would cry in the next second.
This is in stark contrast to his eldest brother, who has "I want to have a baby" written all over him, and his fifth brother, who is in love.
"What's wrong?" Lin Hai put away his sadness and turned back into the third son of the Lin family, only he looked less lively than before.
"The car is ready, and the eldest young lady asked me to give this to you." Auntie Wu handed over an object.
It is a black leather rope with a small hard plastic bag tied to it. Inside the bag is a talisman that can be worn around the neck. It was drawn by Yu Ning himself.
"What is this? A curse on me?" Lin Hai grabbed it lazily and was about to throw it away.
"Don't throw it away! The eldest young lady said that this is a wish-fulfilling charm, drawn especially for you so that you can use it to realize your dreams."
Wu Ma was impressed by Ning's superb metaphysical skills.
"Dream? Haha." Lin Hai curled the corners of his mouth, revealing an expression that he claimed to be unrestrained but was not much better than crying.
His dream is no longer possible.
But he still didn't throw the talisman into the trash can.
Wu Ma would nag him, and his elder brother, a tyrant who was obsessed with women, would also beat him.
Lin Hai attended the banquet like a walking corpse, and met his second brother Lin Ke during the banquet.
In the past, whenever these two met, there was always a lot of tension. It was always Lin Hai who initiated the provocation unilaterally, and Lin Lao Er would just respond with a few symbolic words.
The brothers met today, but Lin Hai had no intention of declaring war. When he met his second brother head-on, he curled his lips and greeted him.
To outsiders, the third young master seems to be more stable.
Lin Ke frowned and stared at his brother's back in a daze.
"Boss, did the Third Young Master offend you again?" Lin Ke's special assistant Qi Lei came over and asked. The bosses seemed to be at odds with each other, and their subordinates were also worried.
"If he messes with me, then don't worry about it - go check and see what happened to the third brother - never mind, I'll call the eldest brother."
"!!!"Σ(*) asked the young master! He must have heard it right!
