Using Marriage as Bait - Chapter 42

    Is it because he helped her out, so she politely called him “Brother Junting”?

    To the look in his eyes, she said again: “My dear fell asleep, I’ll go first.”

    As he expected, she never thought of staying here for the night when she came here, she just wanted to accompany her son for a while and satisfy her son’s wishes. Lu Junting slammed the cigarette **** into the ashtray, and when she turned around, he finally spoke.

    “Wait a minute.”

    Lin Xiyu’s back froze, she paused for a while before turning to look at him, she tried to keep her tone calm, “Brother Junting, is there anything else?”

    Lu Junting didn’t lose his mind for too long, he said, “It’s not easy to drive here, I’ll take you off.”

    “…”

    After he finished speaking, he took a long leg and walked to the elevator. Lu Junting wanted to see her off? She thought of this man’s icy attitude all night tonight, so he surprised her by saying that he was going to send her off.

    Seeing that she didn’t move, Lu Junting asked again, “Don’t you want to go back?”

    Lin Xiyu came back to her senses, she got into the elevator, the two were still silent, but Lin Xiyu was very puzzled, even if Lu Junting wanted to send her off out of courtesy, he would just let the driver do this kind of thing But his posture is very obvious, and he has to follow him? You don’t have to be so thoughtful, do you?

    When I came to the underground garage, Lu Junting got into the car, and he got into the driver’s seat, which made Lin Xiyu even more shocked. Lu Junting has a driver to pick him up when he travels, and he is rarely seen driving in person. He didn’t want to follow him, but he wanted to drive her back himself?

    Seeing that she hadn’t moved for a long time, Lu Junting urged her expressionlessly, “Get in the car.”

    Lin Xiyu recovered, opened the co-pilot’s door and sat in, the car drove out of Moon Bay No. 1, Lin Xiyu still couldn’t understand, why did he send her back in person?

     Lin Xiyu realized that she hadn’t told him the address, and he didn’t even ask, did she think she still lived in the same place before?

    “I changed places, I now live in Binjiaoyuan.”

    “Hmm.”

    He responded lightly, and he didn’t use navigation, as if he knew the road very well.

    However, maybe it was because she was afraid of his aura, or maybe it was because she was so heartless and felt guilty back then, she didn’t know how to say a lot of words.

    Should I start with “Brother Junting, how are you doing”? But she thought again, whether he was doing well or not, he wouldn’t directly tell her that I was not doing well, so it seemed so pointless to ask him.

    Hesitating all the way, the car actually drove outside the community where she lived. He didn’t speak, he held the steering wheel and looked ahead, not even a reminder of “arrive”.

    Lin Xiyu unbuckled his seat belt and said to him, “Thank you.”

    He didn’t answer, Lin Xiyu turned around and walked into the community, Lin Xiyu got on the elevator a little confused, she leaned on the elevator, thinking about the questions she didn’t understand all the way.

    Why did he bring her back in person? Even if you are polite, why don’t you drive her back in person? She couldn’t help but wonder if he still had expectations for her? But if he still has expectations, why is his attitude so cold?

    The elevator arrived at her floor, but Lin Xiyu did not go up. She pressed the first floor again, and she hurried out from the gate of the community. The familiar car was no longer outside.

    **

    Lin Xiyu received a call from Lu Yuan during her lunch break on Wednesday. On the phone, Lu Yuan said to her, “Changheng plans to change the billboard on the roof. Are you interested in participating in the design?”

    “Me? I’m not a designer, can I?”

    “You are very good at handwriting, as long as you know a little Photoshop, I met the manager of the propaganda department and recommended you to him. He thinks it’s pretty good, you can try it, if you are interested, you can Come over sometime, and I’ll introduce you to him.”

    Collaborate with Changheng to design the billboard, so she will have the opportunity to communicate with Changheng, and maybe she will have the opportunity to meet Lu Junting.

    Lin Xiyu said, “I’ll try it.”

    The general manager of Changheng’s Propaganda Department is He Shuo. Lu Yuan met him because of some cooperation with the legal department. Lu Yuan is cheerful and has no air, and can play with everyone. Although they are all named Lu, no one can tell that she is Lu Junting’s cousin, and He Shuo naturally doesn’t know. In order to thank Lu Yuan for inviting her to dinner, He Shuo became familiar.

    Although He Shuo is the manager of the propaganda department, his main job is not in the propaganda department. He is directly assigned by Lu Junting. .

    The main work of the propaganda department is the deputy manager Wu Lin. Originally, Changheng’s propaganda department had a long-term cooperation with an advertising company, and the boss of the advertising company was always an acquaintance of Wu Lin. With cooperation, Wu Lin can get a little rebate. This time, Wu Lin planned to directly contract the billboard on the roof of Changheng to the announcement company. Unexpectedly, the general manager He Shuo said that he had invited a calligrapher to design it.

    This made Wu Lin very upset. He directly told He Shuo that he had already agreed with the advertising company that he could not temporarily release other people’s pigeons. Let’s compare Lin Xiyu’s side with the advertising company’s side to see who has a better design, and then vote to decide who has the most votes and who is elected.

    This Wu Lin is not afraid. Wu Lin is well-rounded and familiar with people from all departments of the company. Moreover, his uncle is on the board of directors of Changheng, and everyone will sell him a face. The thing he said hello.

    The time agreed with Lu Yuan was on Friday, Lin Xiyu came directly to Changheng when it was time, and Lu Yuan was waiting for her at the door.

    “Mr. He went to a meeting outside and hasn’t come back yet, you have to wait a moment, you can go to my office.” Lu Yuan suddenly thought of something and said: “I’m not sure my brother Cheng Subaru also brought it, my eldest brother is in a meeting now, you can go to his office to have a look.”

    Lin Xiyu once heard Lu Yuan say that Lu Junting occasionally brings children to work. She saw it in his office on the day of the divorce, and he transformed half of the office into a small playground.

    Lin Xiyu came here to meet Lu Junting. Of course it would be better if she could see her son. Of course she had to take advantage of this opportunity. Anyway, he didn’t say anything when she went back with them last time. , what’s more, she is looking for the child, Lu Junting knows the general situation better than her, and knows better than her, as the child’s parents, there is no need to be so old and dead.

    So Lin Xiyu nodded and said, “Okay, then I’ll wait at Brother Junting’s office.”

    Lu Yuan glanced at her in surprise when she heard this, she laughed and said, “That’s good, originally, we used to be husband and wife, so there’s really no need to mess with strangers. Same.”

    Although people in the company don’t know Lu Yuan’s identity, but as Lu Junting’s assistant and secretary, they naturally recognize Lu Yuan, so Lu Yuan brought Lin Xiyu in, and two people at the door of the chairman’s office The secretary didn’t say anything.

    Lu Yuan pushed open the door of the office, Lin Xiyu followed her in, and sure enough, she saw the nanny and the baby playing on the inflatable skateboard.

    Lu Yuan smiled and said, “Little Cheng Subaru, let’s see who my aunt brought you here.”

    Xiao Cheng Subaru heard the voice and glanced over here, his eyes lit up immediately, he stopped playing on the skateboard, and the chubby little body clumsily climbed down from the skateboard, scattered with small shorts The legs run this way.

    Lin Xiyu hurried to catch him, she picked him up and wiped the sweat from his forehead, “Look at you playing with sweat.”

    Xiao Cheng Subaru rubbed his mother’s face with his fleshy hands, then pointed at her and said, “Mom, let’s play together.”

    “Okay, Mom will accompany you.”

    Seeing this, Lu Yuan said: “I have to go there beforehand, you wait here, I will contact you.”

    “Good.”

    Lin Xiyu carried the child over and said to the nanny, “Go and rest for a while, I’ll take him.”

    After the nanny went out, only their mother and son were left in the office. Lu Junting’s office is very large. A small part of it is surrounded by fences, and there are inflatable amusement facilities on it. Good treasure can play on it.

    Guangbao climbed onto the slide and performed the slide for her, Lin Xiyu smiled and said, “Slow down, don’t fall.”

    Lin Xiyu looked at the door while taking care of Baobao. Lu Junting had been in the meeting for a long time.

    Lu Junting came back from the meeting, the secretary told her that there was a guest waiting for her, saying that Miss Lu brought it here, Lu Junting was wondering who Lu Yuan brought to find her, and she would see her as soon as she pushed the door in. The mother and son were having fun.

    Lu Junting was surprised, he didn’t expect that the person who came to him would be Lin Xiyu.

    Lin Xiyu looked back when she heard the voice, she was already mentally prepared, so when she saw Lu Junting coming in, she smiled at him and greeted, “Brother Junting.”

    Laughing at her, Lu Junting couldn’t help being stunned, she…is smiling at him? Before the divorce, her indifference and determination were still fresh in his mind, and for a moment Lu Junting thought he was hallucinating. He squinted and stared straight at her. She was indeed smiling at him, and her smile was quite gentle. When he was staring at her like this, she seemed a little embarrassed and hurriedly avoided it.

    Lu Junting went around behind the desk and sat down. This year, she has been avoiding him, even if she wants to see the child, she is sneaky, he knows very well that she doesn’t want to see him, and it doesn’t matter to him good face.

    But now, she came to his office and smiled at him? What is she thinking?

    Lu Junting glanced at the little brat, he was showing her mother the toy car he had just received, the woman looked at him tenderly, with a smile all over her face.

    What else could it be because of her son, of course. In order to see my son smoothly, I want to change my attitude towards him. Even if we can’t be husband and wife, there is no need to be enemies.

    Just like at the beginning, in order to stay with the child, she obviously didn’t like him, but she was willing to sacrifice herself to have the same room with him.

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

    Lin Xiyu said: “Lu Yuan told me that Changheng wanted to replace the billboard on the roof. She knew that my handwriting was good, so she asked me to try to design it, and she also helped me and the people from Changheng’s publicity department. After saying hello, I came here today to meet the person in charge of the propaganda department.”

    I didn’t come to see the child on purpose, I just stopped by to have a look.

    Lu Junting stopped talking, he started to read the email. Lin Xiyu was playing with the children for a while and then received a call from Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan told her that Mr. He had returned from outside.

    Lin Xiyu comforted her son, the little guy probably knew that his mother was busy, so he didn’t make a fuss to let her go.

    “I’ll go see the manager of the publicity department first, and I’ll come back later.”

    Hearing her words, Lu Junting’s response to the email stopped, come over in a while? Lu Junting guessed that she mostly wanted to take the child out to play alone, so she was so kind to him just now, just to discuss it with him later.

    Lu Junting didn’t even look at her, he just answered lightly, “Yeah.”

    And He Shuo just met briefly, just to get acquainted. He Shuo looked quite young, in his early thirties, he wore glasses, he was gentle and delicate, and he spoke softly.

    “Hello Miss Lin, I have long admired your name.”

    Lin Xiyu hurriedly said: “I don’t dare to be, I don’t dare to be.”

    He Shuo first introduced to her the situation in the propaganda department, and then gave her various design drafts of Changheng billboards for reference.

    He Shuo said: “Originally, our department has been cooperating with other advertising companies for a long time, because I was on a business trip recently. I had a design candidate, so I contacted the advertising company. After all, people have already contacted, and I don’t want to let them do it directly. I don’t know if Miss Lin would mind competing with the other party. When the time comes, who will vote? Whoever gets the most votes will use it.”

    Lin Xiyu never thought that Changheng would really use the words she designed. She cooperated with Changheng to meet Lu Junting. She didn’t care about success or failure.

    So when she heard He Shuo’s words, she said generously, “Of course I don’t mind, I feel honored to have the opportunity to communicate with your company.”

    He Shuo also breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good, that’s good.”

    After getting to know Lin Xiyu with He Shuo, they went back to Lu Junting’s office on the top floor. I don’t know if the secretary saw that she had just gone in, and she just let her in without asking.

    Lu Junting was still busy when Lin Xiyu went in, so Lin Xiyu asked, “When will Brother Junting get off work?”

    Lu Junting said without raising his head: “If you want to take Cheng Subaru to play, take it away first, I’m still busy.”

     “That’s fine, I’ll play with Cheng Subaru here for a while and then leave.”

    Hearing this, Lu Junting stopped and looked at her. He agreed with her to take the child out to play. Why is she still willing to stay here?

    But Lu Junting didn’t ask any more questions, of course he wouldn’t object to her staying here.

    Lin Xiyu was ready to leave after a while with Gubao. She had to go back to work on the design draft, not to mention that she couldn’t stay in Lu Junting’s office all the time, after all, she and Lu Junting were divorced.

    Lin Xiyu hugged the baby on his knees and sat down, and said to him, “baby, mother is going back.”

    When she heard that her mother was leaving, she hurriedly stretched out a pair of fleshy arms to hug her mother’s neck, and said anxiously, “Mom is together.”

    “Mom will come back with you next time, okay? Mom needs to go back to work and earn a small amount of money. Only after earning a small amount of money can she buy delicious and fun things for the good baby.”

    “Don’t, don’t, don’t be nice, don’t be funny, be with mom.”

    Lin Xiyu couldn’t persuade him, so he had to ask Lu Junting for help, “Brother Junting, I have to go back, you persuade good treasure.”

    Lu Junting knew that she was going to leave sooner or later, and it was useless for that brat to pester her, so Lu Junting said, “Lu Chengsubaru, come here.”

      Lu Junting called a nanny to ask her to take Cheng Subaru out to play, and soon only Lu Junting and Lin Xiyu were left.

    “How did the propaganda department arrange you?” Lu Junting asked.

    “Make the first draft first, and take the first draft next week.”

    Lu Junting nodded and said nothing.

    “Then… I’ll go first.”

    Lin Xiyu turned and left in his silence. After she left for a long time, Lu Junting leaned back on the back of the chair as if he had recovered. Mrs. Lu kept urging her to chase her daughter-in-law back. How could he not try if he could get it back. It’s just that she has tried every method, begging in a low voice, and even threatening the child, whether she wants to leave or not, she looks weak, and eight horses can’t hold her when she rises.

    If she wants to drive him, she wants to leave him completely.

    He doesn’t know what to do now, he has used his scheming, he has used his means, and he has used a low voice. She just refuses to come back. Now he is very cautious when facing her. What do you do wrong. Sometimes he even comes up with a very cheap idea, or ask her directly, and she tells herself what he is going to do.

    But it’s fine now, and I didn’t deliberately miss him like before. When I saw her, I showed a cold face, at least now I can greet her politely.

    This is the only step in this life.

    Lin Xiyu went to Changheng on Thursday. This was the agreed date for submitting the first draft. It is said that the advertising company that cooperates with Changheng will also send someone over.

    He Shuo, the manager of the propaganda department, was waiting for her downstairs in person, and when they met, he politely said, “Please make a trip to Miss Lin.”

    “No, no, but Mr. He came to pick me up because of trouble.”

    “You’re welcome, Miss Lin, please.”

    The propaganda department has its own meeting room. At this time, Wu Lin, the deputy manager, and the designer responsible for outsourcing of the advertising company are there. This designer has a good relationship with Wu Lin. Wu Lin has already made a deal with him, and when the first draft is handed in, he will depreciate the calligraphy design draft and let the other party retreat.

    But when Wu Lin saw Lin Xiyu who came in with He Shuo, he was stunned. He didn’t expect this calligraphy artist to be so good-looking, so when the two parties handed in the first draft and waited When he commented, Wu Lin was ready to belittle the other party from the beginning and couldn’t say it.

    Lin Xiyu didn’t know the twists and turns, she really thought she needed to go back and wait for the notice.

    Lin Xiyu’s car had some problem and sent it to be repaired. I didn’t drive here today. It’s not easy to take a taxi outside Changheng. There is no sun today and the wind is a bit strong. When the wind blew, it was so cold that he shivered all over.

    “Miss Lin.”

    Lin Xiyu was about to call DiDi, when she heard the voice and looked back, she saw Lu Junting’s assistant Zhou Jin hurried over, Zhou Jin had a coat in his hand, he handed it to her and said : “Mr. Lu asked me to bring it to Miss Lin.”

    “Mr. Lu? Lu Junting?”

    Zhou Jin nodded and said, “It’s cold outside, Miss Lin should put it on first.”

    Lin Xiyu took the coat with a confused look on her face, even if Lu Junting knew that she would be here today, how did she know that she was cold and needed clothes? Lin Xiyu raised his head and glanced at it. He had to raise his head completely to see the top of the building. It was impossible for Lu Junting to see it from standing so far away. How did he know that?

    Zhou Jin was about to return after delivering the clothes. Lin Xiyu hurriedly stopped him, “Assistant Zhou.”

    “What else is there for Miss Lin?”

    “I think I have something to ask you, Mr. Lu, can you take me up?”

    Zhou Jin, as Lu Junting’s assistant, knew the relationship between Lin Xiyu and Lu Junting, and said, “Of course, Miss Lin please.”

    When Lin Xiyu came to Lu Junting’s office, Lu Junting had just come back. He went to the monitoring room before, he knew she would come today, he just wanted to take a look at her and saw her cold at the door Shaking, he asked Zhou Jin to send a piece of clothes over, and he didn’t know if she would accept it, but since everyone wanted to live in harmony for the sake of the child, he couldn’t ignore her coldness.

    But Lu Junting didn’t expect Lin Xiyu to come directly to his office, he glanced at her hand, she was holding his clothes.

    Are you here to return his clothes? Don’t want to accept his kindness?

    “How do you ask Zhou Jin to send me clothes?” Lin Xiyu asked.

    Lu Junting thought she was here to return the clothes, but he was a little flustered and spoke in a light tone, “Aren’t you cold?”

    In fact, what Lin Xiyu wants to know is, why does he know she is cold? Of course, it doesn’t matter how he knows. What’s important is that she knows that he cares about her, and when she sees her cold, she has someone bring her clothes.

    In fact, Lin Xiyu thought about it a lot during this time. She really hated Lu Junting a year ago, but she later learned that he helped her so much, and due to time, those hatreds were gradually diluted .

    There are too many misunderstandings between him and her. If there is a chance, she still wants to explain it clearly or repair the relationship. Of course, that was also under the circumstances of Lu Junting’s willingness.

    Having been with him during this period of time, although his attitude towards her is not bad, it is not good either. Lin Xiyu doesn’t know if he has given up on her, so she also does a lot of things she wants to say to him. Don’t know how to speak.

    But now, she knows he still cares about her. If he really gave up, it would be impossible for someone to send clothes over when she saw that she was cold, and it was delivered in such a timely manner, indicating that he had been paying attention to her.

    Since he still has a heart, she is also willing to take one more step towards him.

    So if she mentions remarriage at this time, he shouldn’t feel awkward, right?
