Using Marriage as Bait - Chapter 39

    Even if Lin Xiyu and Lu Junting are officially divorced, Lin Xiyu has not been back to Lu’s house for a long time, for fear that everyone will be embarrassed to meet each other.

    The most difficult part of a divorce was the inability to see children every day. Lin Xiyu wanted to see the child, but she couldn’t go to the place where Lu Junting lived, nor to Lu’s house. At this time, her best friend came in handy.

    Lu Yuan knew that she wanted to bear Subaru, and took advantage of Lu Junting’s business trip to bring the child out, in the park next to Moon Bay No. 1.

    Lin Xiyu was waiting in the park, and after a while, she saw Lu Yuan pushing a stroller over, Lin Xiyu hurried over, and Baobao saw that her mother was very happy, and extended her hand to her early in the morning. Lin Xiyu hurriedly picked up the child and kissed his cheek, his forehead, and his nose.

    “My dear, my dear mother loves you, my mother misses you very much, my mother doesn’t want you, my mother just can’t take you away from your father.”

    She rubbed his cheek and said she loved him over and over again.

    Lin Xiyu bought a small toy that Gubao likes. Gubao likes toys that can be moved section by section, such as toy snakes, toy caterpillars, and bamboo dragonflies.

    Lin Xiyu was playing with him in the park with Gubao, and Lu Yuan was nearby to prevent the wind, afraid that Lu Junting would come back suddenly.

      Jumping, Lin Xiyu reluctantly kissed her son on the face several times before putting him in the stroller, and Lu Yuan hurriedly pushed the stroller back through the back door.

    When Lu Junting came back, he didn’t see Cheng Subaru and asked, Lu Yuan hurriedly came back from the backyard and said to him: “Big brother is back? I think the weather is good today, so I took Cheng Subaru out to play. “

    Seeing her, Lu Junting asked, “Why are you here?”

    Lu Yuan laughed and laughed, “I haven’t seen my little nephew for a long time, I miss him.”

    Lu Junting didn’t ask any more questions, he came over and picked up the baby, but as soon as he picked it up, he saw a bamboo dragonfly falling from the baby, and the baby hurriedly stretched out his hand and said anxiously: “Mommy mommy.”

    Lu Yuan’s heart suddenly froze, she looked at Lu Junting, his expression did not change much, he picked up the bamboo dragonfly and handed it to the little guy, asking him, “Your mother gave it to you? “

    The little guy took the bamboo dragonfly and shook it happily, then giggled, “Mom, mom.”

    Lu Yuan was scared to death, afraid that Lu Junting would ask her, but to her surprise, Lu Junting didn’t say anything and went upstairs with the child.

     Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. She felt her legs soften, and hurriedly leaned against the wall and sat on the sofa to take a breath.

    When Lu Yuan told Lin Xiyu about this later, Lin Xiyu was also frightened at first, but when Lu Yuan said that Lu Junting didn’t pursue her, she couldn’t help but be surprised.

    Although Lu Junting didn’t mention in the agreement that she could not see the child, he told her before that she would never see the child if he agreed to the divorce. Even she thought it was incredible, he just turned one eye and closed the other, knowing that she went to see the child and would not pursue it.

    However, Lu Junting takes the good treasure very seriously. Basically, he takes his children to work every day. The other half of his office has been converted into a small playground with a lot of inflatable Children’s toy facilities, baby can play on it.

    Only when Lu Junting is on a business trip can Lu Yuan help her bring out the good treasure, but Lin Xiyu thinks that Lu Junting should know that she is secretly seeing the good treasure, but he doesn’t say much.

    Shortly after Lin Xiyu and Lu Junting divorced, Lin Xigan received a call from the United States. There was an urgent matter there and asked him to go back. Lin Xigan came to find Lin Xiyu before leaving.

    “I’m going back to the United States next week, you will come with me then.”

    Lin Xiyu refused without thinking: “I don’t want to go there.”

    “What are you still doing here after you divorced Lu Junting?”

    “I like this place and the culture here. It has nothing to do with me and Lu Junting getting divorced.”

    “How do you know that you don’t like the culture over there if you haven’t been to the United States? I’m not at ease if you stay here alone. If you come with me, I will take care of you. .”

    Lin Xiyu said: “I really don’t want to go, my child is still here and I don’t want to go that far.”

    Lin Xigan saw that he couldn’t persuade her, so he sighed softly: “Forget it, I won’t force you if you don’t want to go, but you should always tell me about your situation on video. Tell me anything.”

    Lin Xiyu smiled: “Okay, I see.”

    On the day Lin Xigan left, Lin Xiyu went to the airport to see him off. The two waved goodbye at the security checkpoint. She suddenly thought that when Lin Xigan went to the United States for the first time, her parents were there, and the little boy was wearing oxygen Hood was sitting in a wheelchair, looking weak and reluctantly waving to them.

    Now he has grown tall and straight, no longer the appearance of the weak boy.

    Lin Xiyu felt that fate is really complicated and changeable, making it unpredictable.

      Most of the club’s work falls on Lin Xiyu’s shoulders. Du Ruoting’s wedding Lin Xiyu also attended. The other party is a tall and handsome young man. The family is in the textile business, and he is also a prominent figure in Ancheng. It is said that the two have known each other since childhood, childhood sweethearts, all the way from the wedding dress to the campus, which is really enviable.

    At present, Lin Xiyu is the only person in charge of the club. Many important things require Lin Xiyu to make decisions, and Lin Xiyu is also responsible for some outings.

    In the first week of Lixia, Lin Xiyu was invited to Japan to participate in an event, a cultural exchange meeting. The other party invited her because she was the inheritor of Lin’s calligraphy.

    Everyone will bring a piece of their own work, and they will take turns to introduce their own works at the meeting, and they can also communicate independently after the meeting. The cultural event was held in a Cultural Palace in Wakkanai City, Hokkaido. After the event, Lin Xiyu came out of the Cultural Palace.

    It’s already summer, and the wind in Hokkaido is still cool. A gust of wind blows her tight clothes, and suddenly someone walks out of the sidewalk to stop her, Lin Xiyu looks puzzled go.

    It was a tall and thin man, he gave her a standard 45° bow, and said in not fluent Chinese: “Hello Miss Lin, I am Mr. So please, invite Miss Lin to have tea at home.”

    “Mr. Fujiwara?”

    The man added: “Mr. Fujiwara is Mr. Lin’s friend. Before Mr. Lin’s death, the two had close contacts.”

    Lin Xiyu remembered, her father Lin Daguo did have a Japanese friend, many of her father’s works were collected by the friend, and even the letter written by her father to her is said to have been sold to The Japanese friend.

    “I wonder if Miss Lin is willing?”

    Lin Xiyu came back to her senses, and her father’s friend invited her, so naturally she couldn’t shirk it. She smiled and said, “I’m very happy.”

    Lin Xiyu came to Fujiwara’s house with the housekeeper and met Mr. Fujiwara. Mr. Fujiwara was in his fifties, his face was not old, but his hair was gray.

    Mr. Fujiwara does not speak Chinese very well, so his housekeeper accompanied him to translate for him.

    “I heard that you came here to participate in the activity as the inheritor of Lin’s calligraphy. I happened to live here, so I asked the housekeeper to invite you to come and sit down. Your father and I are friends, so you don’t have to be cautious. , I have prepared some thin tea, I hope you like it.”

    Lin Xiyu hurriedly said: “My father often mentioned you when he was there. You are his friend and my elder. I am honored to have your invitation.”

    Mr. Fujiwara is an approachable person, and Lin Xiyu chatted with him very easily. The two talked a lot about Lin Xiyu’s father’s life, and talked about his departure. Both of them were full of emotion.

    Mr. Fujiwara seemed to think of something and said, “By the way, what about your husband? Didn’t he come with you?”

    Lin Xiyu was puzzled when she heard this, how did Mr. Fujiwara know she was married.

    “Do you know my husband?”

    Mr. Fujiwara said: “It doesn’t matter if we know each other, I only met him once, I remember it was at the beginning of December last year, he came to my house and asked me to sell the letter To him, the letter your father wrote to you.”

    Lin Xiyu was stunned when she heard this. The letter from her father was photographed by Lu Junting and sent to her. But she didn’t know that Lu Junting had come to ask Mr. Fujiwara.

    Mr. Fujiwara probably saw that her expression was not right, he asked tentatively, “You didn’t know he was here?”

    “I don’t know.”

    Mr. Fujiwara smiled and said: “I like collecting very much, and I admire your father very much. In my opinion, although that letter does not have the essence of his calligraphy, I like it very much. After your father sold it to me, I collected it. I usually don’t take out my collection, but that day your husband found out that the letter was in my hand from somewhere. He came to me and hoped that I would take this letter sell it to him.”

    “I didn’t agree at first, he wanted to buy it, I drove him out in a fit of anger, and he has been standing at my door, Hokkaido’s winter is very cold, the weather in December has already begun to fall Xue, it was also a blizzard that day. He stood there from morning to night. Later, I was moved by him and agreed. But because I was a good-faced person, I didn’t sell it directly to him, but to an auction house. Did he photograph that letter?”

    Lin Xiyu held the tea in her hand and didn’t move for a long time. She knew that Lu Junting took the letter and gave it to her, but she didn’t know that there was still this section of the past.

    December… That’s probably when she first suspected that he was lying to her. During that time, she remembered that she was cold to him and didn’t have **** with him. I didn’t care, but he suddenly said that he wanted to take her to the auction. She didn’t agree at first. Later, she saw him holding the child by chance, and she agreed to go for the sake of the child.

    Mr. Fujiwara saw her in a daze, and asked curiously, “Did he take that letter?”

    Lin Xiyu came back to her senses and replied, “I took it. Now the letter is in my hands.”

    Mr. Fujiwara said: “That’s good.”

    Lin Xiyu sat at Mr. Fujiwara’s house for a while and then left. She was walking on the road when a gust of wind blew and her face hurt. It’s summer, and the wind in Hokkaido is also cold, not to mention the weather in December.

    He actually stood in the snow for a day in order to ask Mr. Fujiwara to release the letter?

    She was just a person he used, why did he do this?

    Lin Xiyu suddenly wondered if there was a real misunderstanding between her and Lu Junting, Lin Xiyu shook her head, even if there was a real misunderstanding, it was true that he lied to her, and the relationship between her and Lu Junting was already established. It’s a foregone conclusion, it’s useless to think more.

    Lin Xiyu occasionally meets with Gubao with the help of Lu Yuan. Gubao can walk, and he begins to speak slowly. I don’t know if Lu Junting is intentionally releasing water. Bao released the Lu family, and Lu Junting called Lu Yuan as soon as he left. Although he and Lu Junting were divorced, Lin Xiyu and Gubao met quite a few times.

    But she and Lu Junting haven’t seen each other since the divorce. Even if they are both in the Lu family, Lin Xiyu is very self-aware that staying in the third room can’t pass, of course Lu Junting will not come. find her.

    At first, Lin Xiyu thought that she would not have much feelings after divorce from Lu Junting. After all, there is no relationship between the two, and this man is very hateful. Since she divorced him, she has often dreamed of him.

    I dream of little things in life. On his half-year-old birthday, they prepared a cake for him. After all, it was his birthday and they gave him a taste. If he didn’t want to eat it, he still wanted it. Of course, such a small child can’t give him more food. , I cried with grief.

    Lu Junting hugged him and walked to the window to coax him, “Don’t cry, Dad will show you the stars.” He pointed to the sky, “Look…”

    However, looking up, the sky was dark and bald, Lu Junting coughed slightly, “Okay, there are no stars today.”

    I don’t know if Gubao felt that he was played by his father and cried even more sadly, but Lu Junting patiently coaxed him, “Okay, Dad will play a ball for you, you like it the most. The one that makes a sound when you pinch it?”

    He was sitting on the sofa with the baby in his arms, holding a small ball for him to play with. As soon as the baby played with the ball, he really stopped crying. Lin Xiyu watched from the side and couldn’t help covering her mouth and laughing, especially when she thought that Mr. Lu still hugged others to see the stars when there was no star, he felt amused.

    She smiled happily, Lu Junting saw it as soon as he turned his head, he said with a half-smile, “Very happy?”

    It’s not that kind of reproach, the soft eyes seem to contain doting.

    And every time she woke up at night, she looked at the quilt shrunk to her waist, always thinking of when she was sleeping with Lu Junting in her mind, she woke up in a daze and saw him helping her Cover the kicked quilt.

     Her habit of kicking the quilt has not changed, but there is no one around to help her cover the quilt.

    Sometimes she even thinks of him occasionally, for example, when she sees a balloon seller, she will think of that day when they came out to play with the baby, and he handed her the balloon and said: ” You are also a child.”

    That day was sunny, the sky was blue and cloudless, he stood under the blue sky, the clear sky seemed to be wrapped in softness in his sharp eyes.

    In the future, she has also encountered clear skies, but she always felt that nothing could compare to the blue sky that day.

    In this way, spring and autumn come. On the Qingming Festival, the second year of Lin Xiyu and Lu Junting’s divorce, Lin Xiyu returned to Wucheng to visit his parents’ graves. It rained lightly in the sky that day, and the mountains were foggy. It was raining, the ground was wet, moss grew, and the mountain was filled with the scent of tea trees. Lin Xiyu stayed alone in front of his parents’ tomb for a while, soaked in water vapor.

    Before returning to Ancheng, she went to the orphanage in Wucheng. The dean was very happy to see her coming and asked her, “How have you been recently?”

    “I’m fine, how about you, Dean?”

    “I’m fine too.”

    The dean took her for a walk in the orphanage. The children were playing carefree. They were still innocent and innocent. A little fun can be happy for a long time. I don’t know how cruel the world will be when I grow up.

      What to fix?”

    The dean smiled and said, “I want to build a small playground.”

    “Is it built by an orphanage?”

    “Yes, but the money is not from the orphanage, it was donated by a kind gentleman.” The dean said what he thought of here and said: “By the way, I remember my last time. I told you that we have been receiving donations from a kind gentleman here, do you remember?”

    Lin Xiyu said: “I remember, could it be that this playground was also funded by him?”

    “Yeah, it’s him.” The dean sighed regretfully, “He donated a lot of money to our orphanage, I always wanted to thank him in person, but he kept donating anonymously, I I don’t even know who he is. There is only a note he left for us when he donated for the first time. He wrote a few words. He didn’t reveal any information about his identity. I don’t know how to do it. I found this kind man, and if one day I know who he is, I will definitely thank him. But speaking of it, the words written by this gentleman are really beautiful. “

    “Oh?” Lin Xiyu suddenly became curious, “Can I take a look?”

    Lin Xiyu writes calligraphy, and when it comes to good-looking words, she becomes interested.

    The dean said generously, “Of course.”

    Lin Xiyu followed the dean to the storage room, but saw the dean carefully holding out a box in a cabinet, and then opened the box with the key, there were many letters inside, he rummaged After a moment, he handed her a very ordinary piece of A4 paper and said, “That’s it. You are a calligrapher, so you should know better than me. Anyway, I think his words are very beautiful.”

    On the paper only a few simple words were written, “Love is boundless”.

    Lin Xiyu has practiced calligraphy since she was a child. She is very sensitive to fonts. Everyone’s handwriting will be different and have their own characteristics, especially after being a teacher in a club to teach others calligraphy. Although they are all the same strokes, they are written differently by different people. She basically remembers what kind of characters are written by whoever reads them once.

    So, when she saw these words, she recognized them almost immediately, it was Lu Junting’s words.

      Staring at these words, he didn’t move for a long time.

    So, the person who has been anonymously donating to the orphanage is Lu Junting?

    “Hee Hee, what’s wrong with you?”

    The dean’s words brought back Lin Xiyu’s thoughts, she returned the A4 paper to the dean, the dean carefully put it away, and asked her: “What happened to you just now? Why are you looking at these Word daze?”

    Lin Xiyu said: “It’s nothing, I’m just sighing, there are still many good-hearted people in this world who will give generously.”

    The dean smiled and said, “Yes, there are quite a few.” The dean is in a good mood, and because of his age, sometimes he does not speak so rigorously, and he talks casually here. He said, “This gentleman is like this, and so is the gentleman who helped your family pay off the debt after your family’s accident.”

    Lin Xiyu was obviously stunned when she heard the second half of the dean’s sentence. She hurriedly asked, “The gentleman who helped my family pay off the debt? What do you mean, I don’t quite understand.”

    Only then did the dean realize that she had missed something, and she smiled awkwardly, “It’s nothing, I’m always confused.”

    But just now Lin Xiyu heard it clearly, she felt that the dean was hiding something from her, the dean packed the box and was ready to go out, Lin Xiyu hurriedly stopped him and asked: “Dean, you just said that someone is there for you. My family repays the debt, what kind of debt, can you clarify?”

    “Oops, it’s nothing, I just remembered it wrong.”

    The dean obviously wants to fool the past, but Lin Xiyu is not so easy to fool, she said: “Are you hiding something from me? I have grown up now, if there is anything, Can you tell me clearly? Otherwise, I will always remember it, and I will always be uneasy, Dean, please tell me?”

      of.”

    “Aunt Yao?”

    “Yes, when your parents had an accident and owed a lot of money to the bank, the husband and wife had already decided that the orphanage in Linjiang County would not be built after it was built. You were not at that time. Have you gone to high school? The husband and wife originally planned to accompany you for the college entrance examination in the days to come. After you finish high school, we will discuss the charity work. The money owed to the bank will be paid off by the husband and wife after ten years of hard work. Well, who knew there was a sudden car accident.”

    Lin Xiyu was puzzled, “I don’t remember selling the paintings and calligraphy at home? Even the house was sold.”

    “Where is enough? You still owe more than 10 million even after you sell your valuables.”

    “More than 10 million?” Lin Xiyu was stunned by this number, “How come there are so many?”

    The dean sighed: “How can it be so easy to build an orphanage? When you were young, Zhang Yao didn’t tell you about it, but later a gentleman helped you pay off the family. Zhang Yao won’t let me tell you about the arrears.”

    Seriously, Lin Xiyu was shocked by the news. She remembered that after selling the valuable things in the family, there were more than one million left. This is what Aunt Yao told her personally. More than ten thousand is enough for her tuition and living expenses to finish university. But now the dean told her that his parents still owed more than 10 million yuan, but where did the extra 1 million yuan come from?

    Lin Xiyu felt that something was wrong, she hurriedly bid farewell to the dean and set off directly back to Ancheng. Lin Xiyu came to Lu’s house, and Zhang Yao happened to be at home. She called her friends over to play mahjong. When she came back, she was surprised: “You’re back so soon? I thought you would finish Qingming in Wucheng.” Zhang Yao After finishing speaking, she noticed that her face was not very good, she got up from the mahjong table and walked to her, and asked with a worried look: “What’s wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly?”

    “Aunt Yao, I have something to ask you.”

    Zhang Yao saw that she asked solemnly, she hurriedly said: “Okay, let’s talk about something slowly.” She said goodbye to her card friends and took her to the room.

    As soon as she entered the room, Zhang Yao held her shoulder and said, “What’s wrong, Xixi, don’t scare me, what happened?”

    Lin Xiyu kept herself calm and said to Zhang Yao, “I went to an orphanage today, and I learned from the dean that my parents owed a lot of money to the bank after they passed away. An unknown person helped to pay the money back, Aunt Yao, tell me, is this true?”

    Hearing this, Zhang Yao’s eyes flickered a few times, and then he waved his hand and said: “How can there be such a thing, don’t listen to the dean’s nonsense, she is old and confused , look at you, I thought what was going on to scare me, if there is no such thing, don’t worry, okay, I’m going out to play cards.”

    Zhang Yao’s panicked look just now didn’t escape her eyes, Lin Xiyu hurriedly stopped her, she said, “I’m no longer a child, Aunt Yao, tell me what happened What’s going on, who was the person who helped pay the debt back then, and you told me at the time that the family had paid off the debt and still had one million left, so what happened to the one million?”

    “I said nothing about it.”

    But what she said was very unconvincing, and she didn’t dare to look at her when she spoke.

    “Aunt Yao, I beg you, can you tell me? I’m no longer a child, I have the right to know.”

    Zhang Yao saw Lin Xiyu’s anxious face, she couldn’t bear it, and finally sighed and said: “When your parents suddenly had an accident, you didn’t have any relatives in your family, and I helped your parents with their funeral. It’s cooking. Your parents really owe the bank a lot of money for the charity repair orphanage. Your uncle and I have scraped together enough money and sold your father’s calligraphy and paintings and your property, but it’s still unclear. You know that , Although your good uncle belongs to the Lu family, but the biggest property of the Lu family is not in his hands, he can only rely on his salary and the interest the family gives him every year. We really don’t have the remaining ten million yuan. The law paid off. Later, Jun Ting suddenly came to me, he said that he respected Mr. Lin and his wife, he could help pay off their debts, and he was even willing to pay for your living expenses and tuition fees, and he gave me one million for me Falsely claiming to be paying off the rest of the arrears, so that you can stay at the Lu family with peace of mind.”

    Lin Xiyu felt a sudden buzzing in her brain, she was in a trance for a moment, and took a step back subconsciously.
