Using Marriage as Bait - Chapter 57

    After returning from a business trip from Dongguo, Lu Junting was very busy every day, and sometimes he had to work overtime. Today, because of a plan to discuss, he worked overtime until late.

    Lin Xiyu and Gubao haven’t slept yet, she is taking Gubao to do some small handicrafts to exercise his hands-on ability. The two heard the sound of a car engine outside the window, and Gu Bao’s eyes lit up and said, “Dad is back.”

    Lin Xiyu took her son’s hand and said, “Let’s go, let’s go pick up Dad.”

    Lu Junting got on the elevator. There was too much work today. He was a little tired and rubbed his forehead. He originally planned to go to the kitchen to drink a bowl of soothing tea, so he went directly to the first floor.

    He froze for a moment and asked, “Why haven’t you slept yet?”

    Lin Xiyu didn’t answer, she rushed over and hugged him, “Wait for you.”

    Lu Junting: “…”

    In fact, when the elevator opened and saw the mother and son, Lu Junting was more or less shocked. Lu Junting suddenly thought that he used to work very late, and he just didn’t want to be idle and wanted to find his own value.

    But now he feels that his work seems to give him another layer of meaning, for his family, in order to give them a better life.

    At this moment, he also truly felt that he had a home of his own, and that someone expected someone to miss him. This feeling made his heart warm.

    “I want to hug, I want to hug too.”

    Lu Junting was still a little stunned. After holding the big one, he looked down at the small one. He couldn’t wait to jump into his arms. Lu Junting crouched down and picked him up.

    “Why haven’t you slept today?”

    “Wait for Dad to come back.”

    “What do I do when I get back, sleep when I’m sleepy.”

    “No, I have to wait for Daddy to come back.”

    He was really stubborn, Lu Junting didn’t bother to talk about him, he held his son in one hand and led her wife upstairs in the other. When he was in a good mood, he forgot to drink the soothing tea.

    The couple coaxed the child to sleep before going back to the room. Lu Junting said to her, “Why don’t you go to bed first at such a late hour?”

    Lin Xiyu drilled into his arms and said, “You can’t sleep if you haven’t come back.”

    Oh, now it’s sticking to him like this? Can’t sleep without him?

    “Lin Xiyu.”

    “Huh?”

    “Clingy.”

    “…”

    If you stick to a man, stick to a man. Anyway, sticking to her husband is not illegal. Lin Xiyu tightened her arms and hugged the man even tighter.

    Lu Junting put his arms around his wife’s waist and put his face on the top of her head. With a happy expression in his eyes, he said softly, “However, I like the way you stick to me.”

    Lin Xiyu looked up at him, jabbed his chin on his chest, “Then you’re miserable, I’m afraid I’ll be too sticky and people can’t stand it.”

    “Really? Try it.”

    “Try it, just try it, whoever is afraid, I put it here anyway, if you can’t stand it in the future, you can’t escape, I’ll stick to where you go.”

    It’s pretty tough.

    He imagined where she would stick where he went, and he felt happier.

    **

    Lin Xiyu was told that someone was looking for him before leaving get off work. Lin Xiyu came to the club hall. There were several calligraphy works hanging in the club hall, one of which belonged to Lin Daguo.

    At this moment, there was someone standing in front of the calligraphy, and Lin Xiyu recognized her as Liu Manqing, vice president of Changheng.

    Liu Manqing turned around when she heard the voice, and greeted, “Miss Lin.”

    “Vice President Liu came to me?”

    “Yes, coming to you.”

    “…”

    Lin Xiyu wondered, did she tell Liu Manqing about her misunderstanding of Liu Manqing and Lu Junting, so she came to talk to her? How embarrassing to say it for a while.

    In Lin Xiyu’s thoughts, only Liu Manqing said, “I only recently learned that you are Mr. Lin Daguo’s daughter. Your mother, Ms. Zhang Ai, I will also call you Mama Zhang.”

    “…”

    Lin Xiyu looked in disbelief. The only people who could call her mother Zhang’s mother were those who had been helped by her. Could it be Liu Manqing too?

    Liu Manqing saw Lin Xiyu’s shock in her eyes, she smiled and said, “I even washed your sleeves when I was a child, I don’t know if you have any impression.”

    Lin Xiyu lost all impression, she asked, “Are you from the Wucheng Orphanage?”

    “No, I’m good.”

    Yuan Liang? Lin Xiyu knew about this place, and there was an orphanage over there. For a while, her mother used to run there and occasionally took her with her. She only had the impression that she had been to this place, but she couldn’t remember what happened there.

    Liu Manqing said: “Let’s go, let’s find a place to sit, I have a lot to say to you.”

    Lin Xiyu nodded and said, “There is a cafe nearby, you can go there.”

    In the cafe, Lin Xiyu got to know about Liu Manqing. She is also a child abandoned by her parents, not because she has any defects, but because she is a girl. Later, she was rescued to an orphanage, and Zhang Ai has been funding her to go to school after knowing her situation.

    “When Mama Zhang and Mr. Lin Daguo passed away, I was preparing for exams abroad, and I didn’t have time to attend the funeral. This is the biggest regret in my life.”

     After Liu Manqing finished speaking, she lowered her head and laughed at herself.

    Lin Xiyu said: “It doesn’t matter, my parents are not people who stick to small details, as long as you have a good life, they will be very pleased.”

    These words probably comforted Liu Manqing, she exhaled slowly, and said, “I only recently learned that you are the daughter of Mama Zhang. After Mama Zhang passed away, I inquired about you, but I have been I didn’t know your whereabouts, how have you been all these years, how are you?”

    “I’m doing fine.”

    “That’s good.” Liu Manqing thought of something and asked, “Is Mr. Lu treating you okay?”

    “He was nice to me.”

    She seemed relieved, “That’s good.” She took a sip of coffee and said, “But it’s one thing for him to be nice to you, and you shouldn’t rely too much on him.” Liu Manqing paused here, “Actually, I came to you today to discuss something with you.”

    “Vice President Liu, please speak.”

    “I am today, thanks to the support of Zhang’s mother back then, I should have been filial to her, but she is gone now, I am very sorry and guilty, and I have done some things over the years. Charity, but I still can’t settle down in my heart, I always feel that I can’t repay Zhang’s mother’s kindness. Now I see her daughter, if you don’t dislike it, you can treat me as a sister, and I will do my best to take care of you. “

    “…”

    In the beginning, Lin Xiyu and Liu Manqing were not familiar with each other, and because of Lu Junting, she had some misunderstandings about her. She thought that Liu Manqing came to her because of Lu Junting, but now, she said she wanted to be her sister, This is really incredible.

      There is a house and a retreat.”

    How about giving her a house? Lin Xiyu was really shocked.

    Lin Xiyu hurriedly said: “No need, the house is not an ordinary gift, how can you give it away.”

    “It’s not a big house, it’s a piece of my heart, I hope you can accept it, and it can be regarded as my mother’s kindness. If you don’t accept the person, I will feel uneasy in my heart of.”

    “You don’t have to give me a house. My mother loves charity. If you want to repay her, you can do more charity-related things.”

    I don’t know if Liu Manqing saw Lin Xiyu’s resistance, she smiled, and then she didn’t talk about the house.

    During the time when Liu Manqing was chatting with Lin Xiyu, he would bow his head and reply to text messages from time to time, and now another text message was entered, after Liu Manqing replied, he said to her with a look of guilt: “My little boyfriend, Very sticky.”

    “You have a boyfriend?”

    “Yeah, am I surprised I have a boyfriend?”

    Lin Xiyu was not surprised, but a little embarrassed. At first, she was a little uncomfortable because Liu Manqing and Lu Junting had such a tacit understanding. It turned out that they already had a boyfriend.

    However, Lin Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

    Liu Manqing added: “He is six years younger than me. He just graduated this year, and he is not very mature. He always likes to stick to people.”

    Because of Zhang Ai, the relationship between Lin Xiyu and Liu Manqing was a little closer, hearing Liu Manqing’s words, Lin Xiyu said: “The boy who just graduated is indeed immature, we still have to wait for him to stabilize Just thinking about getting married.”

    Liu Manqing burst out laughing when she heard this, she said, “Marriage? I never thought about getting married.”

    “…”

    Liu Manqing added: “I heard that you married President Lu after graduation. Maybe a girl with a traditional view of marriage and love like you doesn’t understand it. I have no plans to get married. For me, it’s a very distant thing. I never thought about being someone’s wife, and I never thought about being someone’s mother. I can’t do it all for my family. I remember that Zhang’s mother used to talk to her about it. I once said something. At that time, I saw that she was too tired and suggested that she did not want to go to school, but wanted to drop out of school to work and earn money, so I could help her. Mother Zhang told me that girls must study more and find their own value. We must prove that we are no worse than boys. So I told myself at that time that I can do things that boys can do. The boyfriends I have also know that I don’t want to get married. He wants resources, and I want to Young and strong, that’s all.”

    Lin Xiyu nodded, “Very good.”

    Although Lin Xiyu is married and has children, she still agrees with Liu Manqing’s idea.

    Liu Manqing said in surprise: “You also agree with this method?”

    “I just think that everyone has a choice for everyone, whether to get married or not, as long as it is beneficial to them, there is nothing wrong.”

    Liu Manqing’s cell phone rang just as she lowered her head and replied to a text message, and said to Lin Xiyu, “The stickman came to me, we have to make an appointment next time.”

    “It’s okay, there will be time in the future.”

    After a while, a car drove by the side of the road, and a young boy got out of the car. He was dressed in Korean style. He was very good-looking and looked very shy.

    Liu Manqing waved to him, he came over obediently, and she briefly introduced the two of them.

    “Hello.” Lin Xiyu responded politely.

    “Hello.”

    Boys are very shy, and their cheeks are red when they say hello to people.

    “Okay, let’s go first.”

    Liu Manqing stood up and was about to leave, when she suddenly thought of something, she gave Lin Xiyu a complicated look, hesitated for a while before asking, “Can I hug you?”

    Lin Xiyu said generously: “Nothing is impossible.”

    Liu Manqing came over and hugged her for a while before letting go. Lin Xiyu felt that she was not hugging her, but was hugging someone through her, because there were tears in her eyes when she saw Liu Manqing let go of her.

    She watched Liu Manqing walk away, and suddenly thought that she felt resentment after learning that her parents owed so much money for charity. beyond its own capabilities.

    But now she is thinking that if her parents did not do everything to be charitable, many people like Liu Manqing would lose the opportunity to choose life. Her parents overdrawn the future money, just want to give These kids have more options.

    If it wasn’t for the car accident, they should be able to pay off the money.

    She suddenly felt that they were great, and because of this, she felt that Lu Junting, who helped them pay off the debt, was also great.

    Lin Xiyu’s phone rang at this time, and it was Lu Junting who called.

    “I’m almost there, what time do I get off work.”

    Lin Xiyu said: “I’m not in the club, I’m in the cafe next to me.”

    Lu Junting didn’t ask her what she was doing in the cafe, he just said, “I’m here.”

    After Lin Xiyu got in the car, she took the initiative to tell Lu Junting that Liu Manqing came to her.

    “I now know that she was also a child my mother sponsored, but she does not have the inferiority complex of an abandoned child at all. She is independent, confident, and has her own ideas. He’s a great guy.”

    Lu Junting raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked her with a meaningful expression: “Listening to your tone, do you appreciate her?”

    Lin Xiyu answered honestly, “I appreciate it.”

    Lu Junting remembered that she was still unhappy because she and Liu Manqing got close, and even mentioned it to him, emphasizing her possession of him, and now she began to appreciate her illusion Out of love rival?

    “You admire people so much, don’t you worry about them getting close to me in the future?”

    “What am I worried about, Liu Manqing has a boyfriend.”

    Lu Junting felt blocked, this answer was really not cute at all.

    However, the cognition of his daughter-in-law being unlovable did not fall, but she suddenly fell into his arms and hugged him, deliberately saying to him in a warning tone: “Although I am now I don’t worry about Vice President Liu anymore, but as a married man, you still have to be more conscious and don’t give others a chance to understand?”

    Lu Junting thought, her daughter-in-law must not know, her fierce appearance is not lethal to him at all, he seems to be watching the soft kitten waving at him The threatening claws, he pressed down with a tiger claw, will surely make her honest.

    However, the big tiger Lu Junting is very cooperative, nodding in front of the kitten-like Lin Xiyu, and responding very obediently, “I understand, I will always maintain the consciousness of a married man.”

    Lin Xiyu was satisfied, and then lay comfortably in his arms.

    Lu Junting looked down at the little head in his arms, he took back what he said just now that her wife was not cute.

    Later Liu Manqing went out with Lin Xiyu a few times, she still wanted to give Lin Xiyu a suite, Lin Xiyu was really embarrassed to accept this kind of gift, Liu Manqing changed the way to give her gifts, let alone , really treat her like a sister.

    After contacting Liu Manqing several times, Lin Xiyu knew how ridiculous her previous worries were. Lu Junting didn’t lie to her, neither he nor Liu Manqing liked each other.

    Liu Manqing likes little fresh meat, but doesn’t like old men at all, especially those who are older than her…

    Of course, she didn’t tell Mr. Lu.

    The wedding of Lin Xiyu and Lu Junting is also under preparation. Whoever girl does not want a sense of ceremony, Lin Xiyu is no exception, so the wedding preparations are also very active.

    Old Mrs. Lu originally wanted to do it in a grand way, but Lin Xiyu thought it was too ostentatious, so she discussed with the old man to keep everything simple, and the old lady also respected their opinions and did everything according to their wishes .

    After the wedding, the couple went for a honeymoon. He sent the good treasure to Lu’s house again, and said that he wanted to live a two-person world with her.

    The two went out on a date like a couple in love. After the date, Mr. Lu took her to dinner.

    Lin Xiyu asked: “Where to eat?”

    “Old place.”

    The old place Lu Junting said was “De Huan Restaurant”.

    After the two sat down in the box, Lu Junting asked her, “Do you remember this place?”

    “Remember, you brought me here last time, this seems to be a place you often come. You said that this place used to be a fried chicken restaurant, because you and your friends often come here. Because of my feelings, I changed to a restaurant and I often come here.”

    “Good memory.”

    The little girl raised her chin proudly, “That’s it.”

    “Aren’t you curious about the little friend who often comes to eat fried chicken with me?”

    Lin Xiyu is very honest, “curious.”

    Lu Junting didn’t speak, his eyes fixed on her, Lin Xiyu subconsciously glanced at himself, and asked tentatively, “That little friend can’t be me, right?”

    “Well, it’s you.”

    “…”

    Lin Xiyu glanced around the store subconsciously, and said blankly: “Is it really me? Why do I have no impression at all?”

    “What did I lie to you for?”

    At this time, she looked at a loss, as if searching for something in her memory, but in the end she found nothing, and immediately began to fall into self-doubt, and she only had to put a big hello on the top of her head.

      The big eyes looked at him with a confused look. He thought her little appearance was very cute, just like when she was a child.

    She was playful when she was a child, and once she got acquainted with him, she wished he would take her out to play every day.

    In the summer evening, the setting sun like blood falls on the top of the mountain, and every time at this time, he will hear the cuckoo chirping downstairs. It wasn’t a real cuckoo, that was the code she gave him, and she probably didn’t know that her cuckoo’s call sounded nothing like it.

    “Cuckoo, Cuckoo.”

    Seeing him coming out of the back door, she finally stopped screaming, she ran over excitedly, her round face full of anticipation, “Brother Junting, Aunt Yao is going to play cards, you take me Would you like to go out and play?”

    He obviously still has a lot of homework to write, and he doesn’t have time to play with the little kid, but for some reason, he can’t say no to her expectant expression.

    “Where do you want to go?” he asked her.

    “I want to eat fried chicken, the one you took me to last time.”

    Lu Junting took her to the fried chicken shop, but when she saw the two pieces of fried chicken on the plate, her brows almost twisted into Sichuan characters.

    “Why only two?”

    “Don’t eat too much junk food.”

    “Oh.”

    She answered in a low voice, and without saying anything, picked up the fried chicken and nibbled it. He doesn’t know why she likes to eat this stuff, it’s greasy, but the little girl is very well behaved, she only eats two pieces every time she gives her two pieces.

    After she left, he would come here when he had nothing to do, sitting in the same position. He felt that he was really strange, and he often ran over even though he didn’t like fried chicken.

    Lu Junting came back to his senses and saw the girl across from him shaking his head and saying, “I really can’t remember at all.”

    Lu Junting was relieved that she forgot about herself, he said, “If you can’t remember, don’t think about it.”

    Lin Xiyu sighed softly, looking a little lost, “I’m sorry Jun Ting, I forgot about these things, it’s a pity.”

    “What is there to regret, time is still long, and we have more memories.”

    Although it is true, it is really a pity that I forgot to meet him for the first time.

    The two came out after eating. It was completely dark outside. Neon and car lights were intertwined, but the night in the city was more lively than the day.

    Lin Xiyu held his hand naturally, he glanced down, and suddenly remembered, that time, when they finished eating fried chicken and came out at night, he was a step ahead of her, but She was not happy.

     “Brother Jun Ting, don’t go so fast, brother Jun Ting is holding my hand.”

    Lu Junting walked back and held her hand again, the little girl was happy, her eyes crooked into crescents with a smile, and the bottom of her eyes seemed to be rubbing the night light, bright and bright.

     “Brother Jun Ting has to hold my hand, or he will lose me.”

    At that time, Lu Junting thought, how could such a big man lose it. But looking back on it now, the little girl at that time was really a very small girl, and if she didn’t pay attention, she would be drowned in the sea of ​​people and never be found again.

    Lin Xiyu said a few words to Lu Junting and didn’t hear him answer. She looked back and saw him staring at the hand they held together in a daze.

    Lin Xiyu asked him: “What are you thinking?”

    Lu Junting came back to his senses, the two of them were walking on the street where people were intertwined, some were in a hurry, some were strolling in the courtyard, he didn’t know what story each person had, and he didn’t know each person’s way back . But he held her hand and felt that she was by his side firmly.

    Lu Junting tightened his fingers and held her hand firmly in his hand. He would hold her hand firmly in the future and would not lose her again.
