Using Marriage as Bait - Chapter 26

    Because of Lu Junting’s words, Lin Xiyu didn’t sleep well this night, she was uneasy, and she was afraid that someone would suddenly knock on her door, but she was very calm all night.

    The next day Lin Xiyu finished breastfeeding the child, and deliberately dawdled for a while before going downstairs. To her surprise, Lu Junting hadn’t left yet.

    Lu Junting was drinking coffee. As soon as Lin Xiyu saw him, thinking of what he said to Sister Wu yesterday, she felt that her breathing was half a beat, and she didn’t dare to look at him.

    “Brother Jun Ting hasn’t gone to work yet?”

    “I’ll be there in a while, and I’ll be back with you after work.”

    Why do you have to stress that you will come back to accompany them? Lin Xiyu hurriedly said, “It’s alright, it’s alright, Brother Jun Ting, just do your job. My baby and I are fine at home.”

    Lu Junting glanced at her meaningfully, he thought her expression was very strange, he didn’t even look at him when he talked, and he didn’t seem to like him to accompany their mother and son. similar.

    Lu Junting raised his hand and glanced at his watch, he said, “It’s getting late, I’ll go out first.”

    It was not until the car that Lu Junting was sitting in disappeared that Lin Xiyu was relieved.

    The thing that worried her didn’t appear, he didn’t ask her about the same room, so he just asked Sister Wu casually about that yesterday?

    However, why did he ask Sister Wu such a question?

    Lin Xiyu went to the club after dinner. Before getting off work, Du Ruoting suddenly came in and said to her, “Auntie, someone is looking for you outside.”

    Lin Xiyu looked puzzled, “Who is it? Did you say his name?”

    “I didn’t say.” Du Ruoting winked at her, “Just a handsome guy.” She leaned over and bumped her shoulder, “Your suitor or boyfriend?”

    Lin Xiyu: “…”

    Isn’t Lu Junting looking for him? Why did Lu Junting come here to find her?

    Lin Xiyu walked out nervously, but there was no one outside the door. There is a basketball court outside the Boyu Calligraphy Club, and a boy is playing on the court at the moment.

    Looking around, the person who only plays ball nearby, is he looking for her? Lin Xiyu glanced at the person, although she was far away, she still judged from the person’s shape that it was not Lu Junting.

    She breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the basketball court.

     Walking a little closer, Lin Xiyu could also see the face of the man. She felt that this man looked a little familiar. She searched in her memory, and soon a picture popped up in her mind. face.

    The outline is a bit similar, but after all, so many years have passed, she is not sure.

    It shouldn’t be that person. In her memory, that person has always been sick. He couldn’t breathe even after taking two steps, let alone playing.

    The boy who was playing also saw her, he threw the basketball and walked towards her with his coat. He was wearing a loose sweater, a pair of black slacks, and a pair of sneakers, dressed casually.

    “Lin Xiyu?” He walked over to greet her.

    The boy wears a pair of glasses and has a delicate face, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and a shallow pear vortex on one side of his face. Lin Xiyu recognized him on his face for a while, and it was indeed very similar to the person she remembered. She thought that person should look like this when they grew up, but she wasn’t sure.

    “You are…”

    The boy took out his badge from the coat and bag he was holding and handed it to her, Lin Xiyu took it, but saw that the badge read “Jiangyuan Hospital Cardiothoracic Surgeon: Lip . Hinton.”

    Lin Xiyu is even more puzzled, why is it a foreign name.

    Probably seeing the doubts on her face, the boy explained, “This is the name my adoptive parents in America gave me, but my adoptive parents in China also gave me a name, It’s called Lin Xigan.”

    Lin Xiyu covered her mouth and stared at him with wide eyes, she couldn’t believe it, it was really him! When she was eight years old, her parents brought back a little boy from the orphanage. The little boy was only a few months older than him. He was very thin and sick. It was said that he had a heart attack. He left him at the door of the orphanage, and then the orphanage called the Lin family and his wife when they saw that he was in bad condition, and the Lin family and his wife took him home.

    At that time, he was in urgent need of a heart stent operation to prolong his life. Although Lin Xiyu’s father Lin Daguo was a calligrapher, since the family started charity work, the family’s money was only enough for the family to maintain a living, his heart Stent surgery was a lot of money for the Lin family at the time. Although it cost a lot of money, the Lin family and his wife did not give up on him. During that time, Lin Daguo painted and wrote frantically just to collect the cost of the operation.

    He stayed in the Lin family for two years. Originally, the Lin family and his wife planned to adopt him, so they named him Lin Xigan. However, the adoption procedures were not easy to handle, and he was already eight years old at the time, and he had frequent surgeries, so it never went through.

    In those two years, he basically spent it in surgery, recovery, surgery, recovery. At that time, the domestic technology was not advanced enough. After he put on the stent, he always had a rejection reaction and lived a very painful life.

    Afterwards, an American couple decided to adopt her after learning about his condition. The American couple also did charity work, and they were both doctors. The Lin family met at a charity forum of them. At that time, the Lin family had no savings. Thinking that the child would follow the couple to the United States, the United States would be much more advanced in all aspects, and there might be a chance of life, so the Lin family and his wife agreed.

    Lin Xigan was ten years old that year. Originally, foreigners who came to China to adopt a child would not adopt such a big child, but the American couple insisted on adopting him. After the adoption procedures were completed, Lin Xigan was directly taken by the United States The couple brought to America.

    In the past few years, I still had contact with him at home, and he often sent photos and postcards over there. He underwent surgery there and recovered well after the operation.

    However, after a few years, the news was suddenly cut off. The Lin family and his wife didn’t know what was going on there. They even went to the United States to look for it, but they couldn’t find it. After that, Lin Xigan never contacted them again. .

    Lin Xiyu stared at him for a long time, “You really…”

    Lin Xigan smiled and said, “Long time no see, you have grown up.”

    What impressed him most was the first time they met, she tilted her head and looked at him lying on the bed, her round little face was full of doubts, “They said you are me My new brother, are you really my new brother?”

    “How are you now? Can you play with a bracket?” Lin Xiyu asked again after regaining his senses.

    Lin Xigan said: “You can exercise lightly, but not too vigorously.”

    Lin Xiyu returned the badge in his hand to him. The Jiangyuan Hospital on his badge is also in Ancheng. Lin Xigan is now full of doubts, “When did you return to China? And all these years. Why don’t you contact us, my parents have been worried about you.”

    Hearing this, Lin Xigan said with a surprised look: “Didn’t you guys want to contact me?”

    “How come? My parents are worried that you have gone to the United States to find you because they can’t contact you. Why don’t we want to contact you?”

    Lin Xiyu looked at his expression carefully, the shock on his face was no less than hers. After a long silence, he said, “I remember that I called my home that day, but it was an empty number, and I haven’t taken any calls from you since then.”

    Lin Xiyu was also puzzled, she thought for a while and said, “I remember we moved once, and then my mother called and told your adoptive parents about the new address of their home. and a new number. We haven’t heard from you since we moved.”

    “I don’t know about your move. I thought you were still living in the old community. Later, I went back to see it. The community has been demolished.”

    The two fell silent at the same time, Lin Xiyu probably understood, she guessed that his adoptive parents in the United States did not want him to contact him again, so they did not tell him about the move, and At that time, the American couple did not accurately tell the Lin family their exact address, so that her parents searched for the address but found nothing.

    Lin Xigan probably also understands that he was quite sad back then, thinking that the adoptive parents here did not want to contact him anymore, but now the adoptive parents in the United States do not want him to contact China anymore, That’s why they strongly opposed him when he wanted to go back to China.

    “By the way, how did you find me?” Lin Xiyu asked him.

    ” After I returned to China, I went to the old orphanage, the director still remembers me, I asked about you, but she only told me that you were in Ancheng, but did not tell me the specific address, I found this place and came here. I came here to find a hospital to work, and I searched for news about my adoptive father. I had no intention of seeing the activities of the International Cultural Exchange Conference on the Internet a few days ago. You are in the photo, and this is also mentioned above. The club, I found it.”

    Lin Xiyu nodded. The head of the orphanage didn’t tell him about her situation. Lin Xiyu could probably guess the reason. After the dean found out about this, he also felt sorry for the couple, thinking that he was ungrateful with the good family in the United States, and it was no wonder that she did not tell Lin Xi the details of her.

    But now I know everything is a misunderstanding, but her parents have no way to know.

    Lin Xiyu glanced at Lin Xigan in front of him again, he was no longer the skinny little boy he used to be, he had grown a lot taller and his body had grown stronger. From the outside, he was nothing like a normal person the difference.

    There is a park next to the club, Lin Xiyu said to him, “Let’s go for a walk in the park?”

    “Good.”

    Lin Xiyu briefly understands his situation. He studied medicine in the United States and returned to China directly after graduation. Now he is a special doctor of Jiangyuan Hospital. He only learned of Lin Daguo’s death after returning to China, and he has been trying to find a way to find her.

    “How about you? How are you?” Lin Xigan asked her.

    “I’m fine.”

    Lin Xigan nodded and asked, “Let’s have a meal together in a while, and I’ll take you back after dinner.”

     Lin Xiyu regained her senses as soon as she talked about going back, and immediately glanced at her watch, just chatting with Lin Xigan and didn’t pay attention, it was already very late, and there was a mythical beast waiting for her at home Go back to feed.

    Lin Xiyu said: “It’s a bit late now, I still have something to do. I’ll wait for the meal next time. I’ll invite you to eat.”

    She suddenly became anxious, which made Lin Xigan very puzzled, but he didn’t ask much, and said, “Then I’ll take you back.”

    “No need, no need, I drove the car by myself. Let’s leave a number first and contact us later.”

    Lin Xigan gave her his mobile phone number, and Lin Xiyu left in a hurry after saving it.

    After returning home, Lin Xiyu first fed the baby. After feeding, Lin Xiyu took a look at her mobile phone. There were several messages on it, which were sent by Lin Xigan.

    Lin Xigan: “Are you free this weekend? I’ve been here soon. If you’re free, take me for a walk and have some snacks here.”

    Tomorrow happens to be the weekend. Usually, Lin Xiyu will bring a baby on the weekend, but it’s okay to miss a day, so she agreed.

    When she woke up the next morning, Lin Xigan sent a text message saying she wanted to come pick her up. Lin Xiyu sent him an address, which was a bus stop near Moon Bay No. 1.

    A white car stopped at the bus stop, the window was open, Lin Xiyu saw Lin Xigan’s familiar face, she opened the car door and sat up, Lin Xigan asked her: “Where is the place to go? Where, I navigate.”

    Lin Xiyu said, “Ancheng University.”

    Lin Xigan drove the navigation and turned the car around and said, “I haven’t had time to ask you the last time we met, where have you been since your adoptive parents passed away?”

    “I was taken home by a very good friend of my mother.”

    “Your mother’s friend? Have I met?”

    “I don’t think I’ve seen her before, she’s from Ancheng.”

    Lin Xigan nodded and asked, “How are they treating you?”

    “Good.”

    Lin Xigan asked her which university she went to and her living expenses. Lin Xiyu told him one by one.

     “When you have time to take me to her house, she has taken care of you for so long, I should thank her.”

    “…”

    Hearing this, Lin Xiyu felt a little complicated. Although they met for the first time yesterday, he said this very cordially, as if he was really her relative, and he was taking care of her in the face of it. person, as a family member, he would like to express his gratitude.

    “What’s wrong?” Lin Xigan smiled, “Although I haven’t been able to live with you all these years, but in my heart you are my relatives. If it wasn’t for my adoptive parents who went bankrupt and saved me, I am afraid that I will never meet my current adoptive parents. They have saved my life, and I have no less affection for them than my current adoptive parents. Now that they are gone, it stands to reason that I should take good care of you. “

    Lin Xigan is not much older than her, no matter how he should take care of him, but it is really rare for him to have such a heart.

    Lin Xiyu said: “I have graduated from college now, and I have a job, so I can take care of myself.”

    “It’s your business that you can take care of yourself, what I do is mine, although we haven’t seen each other for many years, but my adoptive parents saved me, I’ve been them all my life Your son, of course, is your brother, no matter how long it takes.”

    Lin Xiyu also felt a lot when she heard this. She has no other relatives since her parents passed away, but now there is a person who is familiar with her past and almost became a family member with her. , and this person is always treated as a son by her parents. After careful calculation, he seems to be her relative.

    The car quickly drove to Anseong University. Lin Xiyu took Lin Xigan to the backstreet of Anseong University. There is a whole snack street here. You can find the most common snacks in Ancheng.

    It was lunch time, the street was very lively, there were three university towns nearby, and many students crowded into the street for food. Lin Xigan seemed surprised when he passed a Bozai cake stall, “There’s also a Bozai cake here?” He went up to buy two Bozai cakes, gave one to her, and said, “Remember this, I used to be in Wucheng. You often buy it to eat when you’re there.”

    Lin Xigan loved to eat bowl cakes when she was a child. Lin Xigan was a sick child and couldn’t go out. She would buy him a copy when she bought bowl cakes.

    Lin Xigan was full of emotion when she remembered when she was a child. At that time, she was very happy to know that she was about to have a new brother. Her parents were only her daughter. She is envious of having siblings. Later, after Lin Xigan was brought to the United States, she also broke her heart for a long time, but the child is forgetful, and when she encounters other interesting things, she slowly forgets it when she is sad.

    The student dormitory in Ancheng is near the back street. When Lin Xigan was in college, the school dormitory was not very good. The dormitory building was old and humid, cold in winter and hot in summer. They escaped the fate of rebuilding the dormitory as soon as they graduated. The dormitory building was to be rebuilt as soon as they graduated this year, so the back half of the street was sealed off for safety because of the rebuilding of the dormitory building.

    Lin Xiyu felt a little regretful, and said, “There were still a lot of delicious food there, but I can’t go on now. I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was closed.”

    “It’s okay, just find a place to eat here.”

    It is a coincidence that the reconstruction of the dormitory of Ancheng University is in charge of the engineering team of Xiao Zian’s family. Xiao Zian came here for a tour and made a look. He was going to have tea with friends. In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiyu was seen in the crowd.

    Xiao Ziang is an enthusiastic person. After seeing the person, he said hello without much thought: “Brother and sister, are you coming to eat here?”

    Lin Xiyu heard the voice and looked up, and saw Xiao Zian walking towards her, Lin Xiyu froze, why did she meet Xiao Zian here.

    Xiao Ziang approached only to find that there was a boy next to Lin Xiyu, Xiao Ziyang’s warm smile on his face was slightly withdrawn, he glanced back and forth on Lin Xiyu and Lin Xigan, his eyes became subtle , “Is this your friend?”

    Lin Xiyu was a little embarrassed, nodded, and introduced to Lin Xigan: “This is… my friend’s brother.”

    Lin Xiyu was used to not letting outsiders know about her marriage to Lu Junting, so she introduced it casually.

    Lin Xigan nodded to Xiao Ziang as a greeting. Although Xiao Ziang is sometimes out of tune, he still understands the world and the world. He didn’t ask any more questions at the moment, and said with a natural expression: “You guys go shopping first, I have an appointment with my friends and go first.”

    After Xiao Ziang left, Lin Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly heard Lin Xigan next to him asking, “He called you brother and sister? Are you married?”

    Lin Xigan never asked her any questions about her relationship life, and Lin Xiyu didn’t take the initiative to tell him that she was married, but she had nothing to hide about her marriage, so she said, “I’m married. Yes, and have children.”

    Lin Xigan was obviously shocked by this remark, his eyes fell on her and stared at her for a long time, and it took a long time to digest the news.

    He asked again: “Who is the other party? Is he treating you well?”

    “He’s in business, and he’s been nice to me.”

    Lin Xigan laughed, “I didn’t expect you to get married so early.”

    Lin Xiyu laughed to herself: “It’s very early, and it ends after graduating from university.”

    Lin Xigan nodded and said, “I have the opportunity to take me to see him, I want to see what kind of person he is.”

    “Good.”

    After Xiao Zian left, the more he thought about it, the more wrong he felt, why did Lin Xiyu introduce him to use “my friend’s brother”? Wouldn’t it be better to just say that he is his husband’s cousin, this attitude of trying to distance himself from the relationship made Xiao Ziang feel that Lin Xiyu seemed guilty.

    Although he thinks Lu Junting is a bit annoying sometimes, but after all, the two have known each other since childhood. It is necessary for him to pay attention to the color of the hat.

    Xiao Zian first called Lu Junting and learned that Lu Junting was in the company, Xiao Zian thought, no wonder, he was so busy after getting married? On the big weekend, he also runs the company and doesn’t accompany his wife. Does this guy Lu Junting know that if he doesn’t accompany his wife, other men will naturally accompany his wife for you.

    Xiao Zian was signing when he came to Lu Junting’s office. Xiao Ziang would come to harass him when he was okay, and Lu Junting was used to it.

    As soon as Xiao Zian came in, Lu Junting explained to him, “I’m very busy right now, so I consciously don’t let twitter affect me.”

    Xiao Ziang was naturally used to Lu Junting’s “bad attitude” towards him, but he didn’t care. He was a little confused now, how to open this mouth to him.

    Well, he really shouldn’t talk much about the couple’s affairs, but it’s too unethical for him not to talk to his good brother.

    But tell him directly, Lu Junting, your wife might not give you a cuckold, it’s hard to say such words.

    Lu Junting didn’t wait for Xiao Zian’s response for a long time after speaking. Generally speaking, Xiao Zian would make a few swear words when he was so rude. It was so quiet today that he was not used to it.

    Lu Junting raised his head and glanced at him, and met Xiao Zian’s subtle and complicated look at him. Lu Junting knew him too well, so he asked him directly, “Is there something you want to tell me?”

    Xiao Ziang laughed dryly, glanced at the curtains in Lu Junting’s office, and pretended to be meaningful: “I said, why are your curtains this color? It’s green, not at all. Eye-catching.”

    Lu Junting glanced at the curtains, then looked at him with a look of mental retardation, “Are you colorblind? The curtains are blue.”

    “Oh.” Xiao Zian coughed to hide his embarrassment, his eyes fell on the white pen holder on his table, he walked up, picked up the pen holder, and said with a worried look: “You Why is this pen holder green? Do you like green so much? You can see that this pen holder is so green, it looks so unlucky, you have to replace it quickly.” After Xiao Ziang finished speaking, his eyes suddenly fell on Lu Junting’s head, as if When he found something incredible, he exclaimed, “Damn it, why is there a green light on the top of your head? Such a strong green light makes my eyes almost blind.”

    Lu Junting: “…”
