Using Marriage as Bait - Chapter 53
The days passed like this. Before leaving get off work, Lu Junting received a call from Lin Xiyu. On the phone, she told him that she would not be used to pick her up in the afternoon.
“What’s wrong?”
“Lin Xi has done something, I have to go see him.”
“Huh? What’s wrong with him?”
“Isn’t he fitted with a heart stent? I heard there was something wrong with the stent and he fainted.”
“In that case, I’ll pick you up after get off work later.”
“No, I’m gone now.”
Lu Junting tightened his fingers while holding the phone. He was silent for a while and said, “Alright, you go first, I’ll go after get off work later.”
Lin Xigan returned to Jiangyuan Hospital after returning to China. He suddenly fainted while going to work. He was placed in Jiangyuan Hospital nearby. At this moment, Lin Xiyu was helping him cut fruit in his ward. .
“I’m really sorry, but I have no family here besides you.”
Lin Xiyu said: “It doesn’t matter, you can find someone else if you don’t find me. Everyone has to help each other. You helped me before, and now I will help you.”
Lin Xigan glanced at her face and said, “You look pretty good.”
Lin Xiyu said: “If there is nothing to worry about, the state will naturally be fine.”
Lin Xigan did not speak again.
Lin Xiyu added: “It’s time for you to find a girlfriend. There is someone who knows how to be hot and cold by your side. If you have anything, you can take care of it easily.”
Lin Xigan laughed at himself and said, “What kind of girlfriend am I looking for, let’s not go to harm the little girl.”
“You can’t say that, aren’t you quite normal now? You can go to work and play basketball.”
“It’s not really normal after all.”
Lin Xiyu was about to comfort him when there was a knock on the door. Lin Xigan responded, neither of them expected that it was Lu Junting who came in.
Lin Xiyu asked him, “Why did you come so quickly?”
Lu Junting said: “If I have nothing to do, I leave work early.” He stepped forward, glanced at Lin Xigan, and asked in a concerned tone, “How are you?”
In front of Lin Xiyu, Lin Xigan replied politely, “It’s nothing.”
“It’s fine.”
Lin Xigan said: “Xiyu, go out first, I’ll have a chat with Mr. Lu.”
Lin Xiyu was not at ease, and glanced back and forth between the two of them, she was worried that the two of them would misunderstand when she turned around.
“Go, it will be alright.” Lu Junting explained to her.
Lin Xiyu just went out.
Only Lu Junting and Lin Xigan were left in the ward. Lin Xiqian took out his mobile phone, deliberately pressed the record button in front of Lu Junting, and put the mobile phone beside the bed.
Lu Junting saw his action in his eyes, but was unmoved.
“What are you going to say to me?” Lu Junting asked him.
Lin Xigan said: “I have a problem with my heart stent, and I have to go back to the United States to repair it.”
“If you need anything, you can tell me, and I will do my best to help.”
What a hypocrite, knowing that he was recording, he deliberately pretended to be a good person.
“I will bring Xiyu with me. She knows that I have surgery and will not refuse if she wants to come.”
Lu Junting pondered for a while, but his expression did not change much, he said, “Of course, it is right to visit you. I will go with her then.”
“Lu is always busy, how can I bother you because of these little things? Xiyu will probably pass for a long time this time, after all, there is still a recovery period after the repair, I hope she can stay there forever accompany me.”
Lu Junting’s eyes narrowed slightly, but his tone of voice was always slow, “She has to go to work, not to mention the children need her, isn’t it a bit hard for her to stay there for so long? “
“I will compensate her for the loss caused by her delay in work. As for the child, I can arrange to bring my little nephew with me.”
If Lin Xiqian was to tell him directly, he would bring his wife and children to the United States together.
He glanced at the mobile phone that Lin Xigan had placed beside him, but he kept holding on, looking at him with a warning look.
“You already told Xixi this?” Lu Junting asked him.
“I haven’t told her yet, but if Xiyu agrees to go, I don’t know if President Lu is willing to let him go.”
Lu Junting said: “If she is willing to go, of course I am willing to let her go. I have never imprisoned her freedom.”
“That’s good.”
Lin Xigan picked up the phone, deliberately saved the recording in front of Lu Junting, and called to the door, “Xiyu come in.”
Lin Xiyu pushed open the door and went in. Judging from the expressions of the two, it seemed that they were quite normal. Nothing she was worried about happened, and Lin Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Xigan said: “I am going to the United States to repair a heart stent in a while, would I be willing to accompany me? If you can be by my side, I will feel more at ease, in case something goes wrong and I can’t see you in the end one side.”
Lin Xiyu hurriedly said: “Don’t talk nonsense, haven’t you fixed the serious problems before? It’s just a simple repair.”
“Would you like to go?”
He said what he said, Lin Xiyu would be too ruthless if he didn’t go there, she said, “I will definitely go to see you then, I will go with Lu Junting.”
Lu Junting, who was not very happy because of Lin Xiqian’s words, instantly improved because of Lin Xiyu’s words. He still thought about him, and took him with him, not hurting this girl in vain.
Lin Xigan said: “Lu is always busy, so don’t bother him, and this trip will probably be delayed for a long time. Of course, I just asked Mr. Lu, if you are willing to go, he will will agree.”
“Will it take a long time?” Lin Xiyu hesitated.
Lin Xigan added: “If you are afraid of thinking about your child, you can bring your child with you.”
The child is also brought along, what will happen to her family, and she also has to work. But if Lin Xigan is going to have an operation, if she doesn’t go, she will feel sorry for her parents. After all, his parents were still thinking about the child who was almost adopted before he passed away.
Lin Xigan said: “You think about it first.”
Lin Xiyu couldn’t give him an answer for a while, so he said, “Okay.”
“I have nothing to do here, you go back first.”
“You have a good rest and call whenever you need.”
Lin Xigan nodded.
Before leaving, Lu Junting also said politely, “When the time comes, I will feel better. You can come to my house to play. You haven’t seen my children, they are very cute.”
Lu Junting’s words were probably just out of politeness, but Lin Xigan nodded in agreement: “Yes, I don’t even know what Xiyu’s home looks like now, by the way, little one. What baby likes, go buy it for him when the time comes.”
Lin Xiyu hurriedly said: “No need, he has too many toys, we are very happy if you can go.”
The couple came out of Lin Xigan’s ward and got into the car. Lu Junting asked her, “Do you really want to stay with Lin Xigan for so long?”
Lin Xiyu is also quite tangled, “He is going to have surgery, so I should go, but I don’t want to stay for that long.” Lin Xiyu glanced at the man beside her, she moved over and hugged his Waist, “and I and the baby really left together, what do you do?”
Lu Junting’s condensed eyebrows slowly eased because of these words, he put his arms around the little girl’s shoulders, and his tone was full of smiles, “Do you still care about me?”
“Why don’t you care?”
Lu Junting combed her hair with his fingers. He lowered his head and kissed her on the top of her head. At this moment, the little girl was lying in his arms and couldn’t see his expression, so he didn’t hide it at all. With a deep and cold look in his eyes, “What if your step-brother especially wants you to go?”
Lin Xiyu frowned a little irritably, “I have to think about it, it’s his business that he wants me to go, but I’m not that busy.”
Lu Junting said: “It’s time to think about it. Originally he was sick and you really should go, but you can’t just ignore him because he didn’t care about anything, he didn’t think about you, you still have a family, and If you have a job, even if he doesn’t think about your family, he should think about your job anyway. I listened to his tone, as if he didn’t think that you didn’t work for him in the past. The work you do now is to promote your Lin family. Calligraphy, this is a very meaningful thing, but he doesn’t seem to care, and thinks that you do this is optional, and your Lin family gave him a bite to eat anyway.”
Being reminded by Lu Junting, Lin Xiyu also discovered this. When Lin Xigan proposed to let her go, he didn’t seem to think much about her work. Lin Xiyu likes her current job very much. Because of her father’s influence, she likes calligraphy since she was a child, and she promotes her own calligraphy. She thinks her work is really meaningful, but Lin Xigan doesn’t seem to think her work is anything special. .
Even Lu Junting, who has never stayed in the Lin family, knows how important the Lin family’s calligraphy is to him, but he, who has been rescued by the Lin family, doesn’t care that much.
Lu Junting rubbed her head and said: “Forget it, don’t think about it, we’ll just have to take a look at him out of courtesy, after all, he’s not your real step-brother, you You don’t have to feel any guilt. It’s just like dealing with relatives, but relatives are not family after all, me and the child and you are family. “
Lin Xiyu thinks what Lu Junting said makes sense. Anyway, I can take a look at it when the time comes, and I can’t care about work and family in order to accompany him. Anyway, she did everything she should, and her parents wouldn’t blame her if she wanted to come. of.
Lin Xiyu nodded in his arms, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Lu Junting replied gently, “Yes.”
Then his eyes fell into the distance, the softness on his face became a little colder, and then there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, it was a kind of disdain smile, it seemed that no charm was not enough for him. .
On this weekend, Lin Xigan called early in the morning, and he wanted to come and see where Lin Xiyu lived. After all, he was a guest. The husband and wife welcomed him very much. Lu Junting even told the chef that he wanted to cook according to Western tastes.
Lin Xiqian didn’t come empty-handed either. He bought a lot of gifts, but they were all for Lin Xiyu and the children. He handed a set of toy cars to the children and said with a smile, “Are you Xiao Cheng Subaru? “
Cheng Subaru likes toy trains, but doesn’t like toy racing cars, but his mother taught him that he should be grateful even if he doesn’t like gifts when others send them, so the child took it and said obediently, “Thank you uncle. “
Lin Xigan touched his head and said, “My name is uncle.”
The little guy tilted his head and glanced at his parents, Lin Xiyu nodded at him, and he called, “Thank you, uncle.”
“Do you want to show you around?” Lu Junting asked politely.
Lin Xigan looked around and said, “Alright.”
The couple took him around for a walk, and finally came to the backyard, Lu Junting said to him, “This backyard is Xixi’s masterpiece.”
In the early summer, the vegetation is lush and the weather is getting warmer. There are a few sun loungers in the backyard. Lin Xigan strolled around the courtyard and praised: “It’s quite capable, and it’s a good job. “
Lin Xiyu smiled modestly, “No, no, just do it.”
Lin Xigan sat down on the reclining chair in the courtyard, probably not planning to go shopping anymore, Lin Xiyu said, “Sit down for a while, I’ll cut some fruit over.”
Lin Xigan said: “Don’t bother.”
“It’s all right, no trouble.”
After Lin Xiyu left, Lu Junting also sat down on the chair next to him. There was a small table beside the chair. Lu Junting sat lazily, holding the phone with his fingers, and turned the table unconsciously. play.
“Did you record again today?” Lu Junting asked him.
Lin Xigan raised his eyebrows and asked, “What? Are you afraid of me recording?”
“I’m sitting upright, what’s there to be afraid of.”
Lin Xigan thought to himself, he was too embarrassed to say this, if it weren’t for this man’s too many tricks, he wouldn’t have to guard him every time he met.
“I think you’re in good spirits. Does your heart stent really need repairing?”
Lin Xigan said, “You’re not a doctor, so how do you know if it needs to be repaired?”
“Just care and ask.”
Lu Junting glanced at the phone from the corner of his eye from time to time. The black screen of the phone had a reflective effect. He seemed bored to turn the phone to play, but he was actually watching the movement behind him from the reflective mirror. He saw from the mirror that Lin Xiyu washed the fruit and walked over here.
A little closer, a little closer, Lu Junting lowered his head to cover the sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said to Lin Xigan, “I know you have misunderstood me, and of course I also know that there may be something I have to say to make you disagree. Comfortable, I’m here to apologize to you.”
Lin Xigan gave him a surprised look, “Apologize to me?”
“I sincerely apologize to you and hope you will forgive me.”
“…”
Lin Xi looked at him suspiciously, what does this scheming dog want to do? Didn’t you say humbly in front of Lin Xiyu last time, why did you apologize to him again?
“Hee Hee is very important to me, I don’t want you to take her away. I know there is nothing wrong with your heart stent, you just want to take her away for an excuse.”
The warm wind sent the conversation between the two to Lin Xiyu’s ears, and she paused when she heard this. Lu Junting naturally saw it too. He knew that she should have heard it.
The wind blew the leaves and made a rustling sound, covering up Lin Xiyu’s footsteps. Lin Xigan turned her back to Lin Xiyu again, so she didn’t realize she was approaching.
“I don’t understand what you mean.”
Lu Junting continued: “The last time you fainted was because of low blood sugar, not because of a heart stent. You thought you were a doctor at Jiangyuan Hospital, and your people would keep it a secret for you, but you Don’t forget, money is the best passport in this world, and you can know everything you want to know with money, so I naturally know that you didn’t faint because of a heart stent problem.”
Lin Xigan felt inexplicable. He didn’t faint that time, just a normal cardiac stent rejection. There was a small problem with his cardiac stent, but it was not serious enough to need repair. It’s not because of low blood sugar as Lu Junting said. Moreover, this man is so serious about such an unwarranted thing.
Lin Xigan couldn’t understand why this scheming dog suddenly talked nonsense.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell Xixi about this, she trusts you very much, after all she has lived with you for a while, you are like half of her relatives in her mind, If she knows you lied to her on purpose, she will be sad, I don’t want her to be sad. We are all Ai Xixi’s, can you please, don’t take her away, I can do whatever you want. “
He said it with sincerity, and he really looked like the kind of poor man whose wife is about to be taken away. Lin Xigan didn’t understand what the man was playing, and he suddenly had a bad premonition. Lin Xigan subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, and sure enough, he saw Lin Xiyu standing not far behind.
Lin Xigan suddenly felt struck by lightning, but then a coolness that penetrated the bone marrow rose from the soles of his feet. In an instant, he finally understood Lu Junting’s purpose, he suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Junting, and saw that he bent the corner of his mouth at him, but then he turned to see Lin Xiyu, his face instantly turned to panic, his eyes were full of is worry.
The expression change is so casual, I feel sorry for him if I don’t give him an acting award.
Lin Xigan heard a thump in his heart, and he had another somersault on this scheming man!
He just said how Lu Junting, a scheming dog, suddenly started talking nonsense. He said those words to Lin Xiyu on purpose.
Lin Xiyu stepped forward, she faced Lin Xigan, obviously suppressing her anger, “Are you lying to me?”
“I didn’t.” Lin Xigan explained in a panic, “Xiyu, things are not as Lu Junting said, those words he said to you on purpose.”
“What did he tell me? He kept his back to me, how did he know I was here? What did he tell me?”
Lin Xiqian also felt that something was wrong, but he didn’t have the time to figure it out right now. Lin Xigan calmed himself down as soon as possible, and he explained, “It’s not what you think it is.”
“Then tell me, the last time you fainted, it was really because of a heart stent problem. Is it really serious enough to need to go to the United States for repair?”
Lin Xigan was blocked for a while, he closed his eyes and adjusted his emotions, if he could, he really didn’t want to lie to her.
“I didn’t faint, but my body did have a rejection reaction, but it wasn’t that serious.”
“So…you don’t have to go to America to fix it?”
Lin Xigan was silent for a while, then nodded, and then he said: “But even so, it’s not because of low blood sugar as Lu Junting said, he said it to you on purpose, although he didn’t say it. To the point of fainting, but I do feel uncomfortable, and I should go back and check. I don’t know what he wants to do, but he’s panicking like this, and it’s not a good purpose. “
Things have come to this stage, and Lin Xigan really doesn’t need to give him any more face.
However, after hearing this, Lin Xiyu’s expression became even colder, “It’s all a lie to me, what’s the difference between hypoglycemia or rejection.”
“Hee Yu, I…”
Lin Xiyu interrupted him, “You know, I’ve always wanted a brother, so I was very happy when my parents told me to have another brother, although you didn’t live with us later, But because my parents have missed you a lot over the years, when I see you again, I feel a sense of intimacy. I really thought about thinking of you as my brother, so even though I know you have been interfering in my life, listening to you I still rush to see you after you faint. I didn’t expect you to lie to me, but you don’t need to have surgery anymore, it’s good, and I’m really happy for you, of course, that’s all.”
Lin Xigan’s face was full of guilt, “I know I didn’t do it thoughtfully.” His eyes fell on Lu Junting, his face suddenly turned cold, “However, you still need more of this person by your side. be careful.”
“I will live my life well, you don’t need to worry about anything, and you don’t need to interfere in my life in the future.”
Lin Xigan could see that she was angry, he knew it was useless to say anything now, he sighed softly: “I’ll go first, thank you for your hospitality today.”
Lin Xigan turned around to leave, but Lu Junting said politely, “I’ll take you out.”
Lin Xigan glanced at him without saying a word, Lu Junting kept sending him to the gate.
“Xiyu is no longer here, you don’t have to pretend to me, you just let her hear those words on purpose, right?”
“Whether it was intentional or not, if you lied to her, you lied to her.”
Lin Xigan sneered: “How dare you say that I lied to her? Are you lying to her less?”
“I have been punished for lying to her, and you should be punished too.”
“Lu Junting, you are trying to provoke my relationship with her, so tell me the truth, is it because I am around her preventing you from controlling her?”
“You think too much, I don’t pay that much attention to you, I really want to control someone, and you can’t hinder. If you don’t mind your own business, I can still take you as your successor because of Xixi Brother, be polite to you, but you like to point fingers at other people’s lives, so I’m not polite.”
“So you admit, you just did it on purpose, right? You were trying to provoke my relationship with Xixi, right?”
“So what?” Lu Junting admitted quite readily.
Lin Xigan took out her mobile phone, “I did lie to Xiyu, I will apologize, but I want her to understand what kind of person you are.”
“Don’t bother.” Lu Junting said slowly, “I don’t know if you have heard of Baofeng Technology, a subsidiary of Changheng Group. With the system installed at home, your recordings don’t work from the moment you step in my door.”
Lin Xiqian has been recording all the time, mainly because this man is too cunning, he has to be on guard at all times, and he is planning to play the recording to Lin Xiyu to let her know that he really did it on purpose . Hearing Lu Junting’s words, his heart throbbed, and he hurriedly turned on the recording, but heard a harsh noise inside, and there was no human voice at all.
“Lu Junting.” Lin Xigan gritted his teeth, “You are really a despicable person.”
Lu Junting put his hands in his pockets in a relaxed posture, and was not angry when he was scolded by the villain, he looked at him with a half-smile, “If you want to take my wife and children, you want to take me My life.” Speaking of this, his eyes became a little cold, “If you want to take my life, then I should let you know the price. Don’t you have a heart problem? Don’t get too excited, be careful of sudden myocardial infarction and sudden death. it’s here.”
“You…” Lin Xigan was so mad at him that he covered his heart and took a few breaths.
Lu Junting looked at his uncomfortable appearance like watching a play, he spoke slowly, but showed complete indifference, “If you want to die somewhere else, don’t die here, it’s very troublesome to move. Yes, I hate trouble the most.”
Lu Junting looked at him with cold eyes, and he seemed to be telling him that he was looking forward to his death. Lin Xigan hurriedly adjusted his breathing, he couldn’t be irritated by him, he took a while to look better, and then looked at Lu Junting, he had already turned and entered, and the door in front of him slammed mercilessly.
