41. Chapter 41
"what happened?"
"Chu Tian was on a business trip this time, and Shaozi also went there. He said that after hearing a story about a 'silver wedding', he rushed to Putuo Mountain like crazy overnight to beg for the amulet that could protect the couple's safety and happiness. Shaozi
Out of curiosity, ask me if Lin Chutian gave you that amulet."
Ye Zhongru recited a story he heard from Zhan Shao word for word: "Let me see what kind of treasure it is."
Ye Ruling stretched out her hand. After he wrapped it around her hand that day, she would wear it for the next few days. It was indeed not an expensive thing in the market, nor could it be considered a treasure. Although the workmanship was exquisite, to be honest, it was just an embroidery craft.
.It’s rare that Lin Chutian has the intention.
"Chu Tian is really thoughtful." Ye Zhongru looked extremely satisfied after the review.
Ye Ruling's mind was elsewhere. She pulled back her wrist and asked, "Brother Ru, didn't you once say that Lin Chutian had someone he loved deeply?"
"...Ru Ling." Ye Zhongru was stunned by his sister's sudden question. He was actually a little flustered: "That was indeed what I blurted out without thinking deeply. If you are concerned about what I said,
, don’t worry, Lin Chutian and I later verified it. You can rest assured on this point."
Ye Zhongru thought to himself that even his sister was actually just like other women, jealous and suspicious. If there was a rift between the two of them because of his quick words, then he would have sinned too much. So, he almost swore to heaven that,
Lin Chutian only loves Ye Ruling.
If you count carefully, this happened thirteen years ago. Ye Ruling herself couldn't explain why the face she briefly met thirteen years ago was so impressive.
"Brother, do you remember Chen Kerui?"
Chen Kerui, this name has not been mentioned for a long, long time, so long that Ye Zhongru has almost forgotten it.
Hearing this name spoken from Ye Ruling's mouth, Ye Zhongru's inner shock could not be explained clearly in a few words. His expression visibly stiffened and he asked cautiously: "Do you know her? No, you can't know her. Who is it with you?"
Did you say something, why did you suddenly ask her?"
Ye Ruling didn't want to waste any more time. She didn't know that men had the bad habit of shielding each other. For the sake of so-called peace, they would join forces to lie and deceive. And as a wise man who understands the identity of a person, she sighed quietly and said: "Woman.
, also awkward, love to get into trouble, and have delicate and sensitive nerves.
My brother is no exception.
"I heard some secrets. About her, about Lin Chutian."
"What secrets, what secrets will there be!"
"Brother, actually the Lin Chutian lover you mentioned is her."
"..."
Ye Zhongru couldn't answer, so Ye Ruling continued: "I don't remember it well. Thirteen years ago, I was only eleven years old. Although I was not old, I once heard talk about the supermarket tycoon.
My daughter fell in love with a rich man and got pregnant before she was even a minor. Looking back now, she was talking about Chen Kerui and Lin Chutian. She was pregnant, and she was Lin Chutian’s child. Brother, you should know more than me, right?
Lin Chutian abandoned her?"
"Ru Ling, this is all in the past. Thirteen years ago, we were all young boys who didn't understand anything. Chu Tian was not yet seventeen..."
"In other words, this thing is true."
"No, no, that's not what I meant. In fact, I don't understand the whole story. You are right, I know Chen Kerui. We are in the same school, Chutian is one grade younger than me, Chen Kerui and Lin Chutian
She was a classmate, and what impressed me deeply was that she loved to follow Chu Tian, and she would follow Lin Chutian wherever he went. The child was good-looking, timid, but very small, and he was submissive, so he was inevitably bullied by a few boys with bad conduct.
.Chu Tian couldn’t stand it, so he helped several times. The child felt grateful in his heart, and naturally followed Chu Tian every day. Chu Tian also took good care of her."
"Maybe that's how I fell in love with Young Lovers, just like the movie."
"When Miss Chen committed suicide, Chutian had been abroad for more than half a year. When he returned to China during the summer vacation, Miss Chen had been sent to nowhere by her father. Chutian didn't even know what had happened. However,
, since then, I have never seen Lin Chutian have close contact with other girls, so I naturally imagined it. As for whether they are dating, in fact, I have heard others say yes, and Chutian himself has not admitted it personally.
.With his way of dealing with the world, I don’t believe the rumors of abandoning Miss Chen’s family.”
"What you said does not prove that Chen Kerui has nothing to do with Lin Chutian."
"Ru Ling, put yourself in your shoes and think about it. Even if it's true, is it unfair to torture Chu Tian about something that happened so long ago? What's more, it's more likely to be a rumor."
"What if it's not a rumor and it happened recently?"
"What do you mean?"
She has said too much and can't go on: "No matter what the truth is, we are going to get married. This is the fact I have to face, isn't it?"
"Ru Ling, what on earth are you thinking? I'm so confused by you."
"I'm just too curious. I know nothing about Lin Chutian's past. I'm also a little jealous and want to know more about his past."
Half of it is true and half of it is a lie.
They are going to get married. But they are not a couple who wants to get married because they love each other. There are deals and secrets behind it. Not only she has it, but Lin Chutian has it too. This is how they have traded their marriages with each other.
Finally, I went to Hongli. The decoration of this house has been busy day and night for a whole month. At this time, the decoration garbage has been cleaned up and flushed with water. The scaffolding outside the house has also been removed. After the mysterious veil was lifted, it was revealed.
It has a complete appearance, white exterior walls, and is surrounded by green plants. It will only become more and more beautiful with the owner's careful care in the future.
She walked around the completed house and took a few photos, took out the tablet she brought with her, sat on the stone steps in front of the yard, and wrote a letter. Then she selected the owner of the house and sent it out.
After Lin Chutian checked the terms of the contract again, he signed it.
The computer in front of me suddenly lit up, and with a beep, a pop-up window appeared in the lower right corner of the screen. It was a mailbox reminder that a new email had arrived.
After he clicked on it, a clean photo of Hongli Magic House was displayed in front of him. There was a letter after the photo:
"Mr. Employer, if you don't show up for acceptance, I will tacitly agree that this design is completely over. And for a long time to come, if you are not satisfied with anything, I will not be able to make any changes for you, because I want to
Take a long wedding leave. Although the decoration materials are environmentally friendly, you still can’t move in too early. It’s best to let the air ventilate for three months before moving in. I wish you happiness. Ye Ruling.”
Lin Chutian couldn't help but laugh while reading the letter.
Yes, he is the owner of the magic house in Hongli.
After getting married, he should live in a house like the Ye family. There is a garden in the front and a mountain in the back. If you want to live in a house, you should live in it for the rest of your life. He traveled to many places and finally settled on this place. It was originally an old house.
I thought it had good scenery around it, and if it was renovated, it would definitely have a new look. I bought it quickly without any hesitation, and entrusted Ye Ruling's studio, specifying that Ye Ruling should do the decoration.
"Designer Ye is solely responsible for the design of the house. I trust her when making decisions." He remembered saying this at the time.
He wanted to keep it secret and give Ye Ruling a surprise, so his employer never showed up. What he didn't expect was that out of her strong sense of responsibility, Ye Ruling would tell him on time the progress of the completion of the house and some of the reasons for doing so.
The reason. In fact, it’s okay for her not to say it.
Therefore, during this period of time, he could always receive letters from her and witnessed the house being decorated more and more beautifully.
——The old fence does not need to be demolished or smoothed with cement. It will be fine with a little repair.
——The tree behind the house is quite old. It would be a pity to cut it down. When the wooden platform is extended, a hole is reserved for it. In summer, tables and chairs can be placed under it to enjoy the shade.
——If you prefer an open kitchen, it is recommended that the kitchen and living room should not be separated by partitions. Friends can walk around each other when visiting, and there will be many circulation lines.
He Jinxue read and saved every letter from her, reluctant to delete a word.
After returning from Hongli, Ye Ruling went to the supermarket near the studio before returning to the studio. She didn't have lunch and didn't want to go to the restaurant alone, so she came here. But she didn't expect to see him.
How could it be such a coincidence that about ten steps in front of her, that person was Yan Chige. He was shopping for goods, but suddenly he raised his head and saw her. Ye Ruling wanted to turn around and leave, but Yan Chige was already there.
He strode towards her. Seeing this, she didn't flinch. She straightened her expression and returned to her frosty look.
"What a coincidence?" is a universal opening line.
"Yes." After calming down, it was not difficult to keep his expression unchanged.
Yan Chige paused and then said, "I heard Nai Bai mention that you are getting married."
"yes."
"……when?"
Do you still want to come to participate? She couldn't help but want to say bad words to him, but she chopped them with a few knives and threw them into the prison, and endured them all: "Twenty-sixth next month."
"Congratulations."
"Thanks."
Are these useless conversations going to continue? Ye Ruling turned to leave. She should not continue to entangle here.
"Ye Ruling, how have you been these years?" Yan Chige asked hurriedly from behind.
"No. Don't you know that I couldn't stay in this city for a day and fled to England?"
If the injury would never heal if it didn't scab, then she might as well get it dripping with blood today.
"sorry."
"It doesn't matter, I already know. It was my father who asked you to leave me."
"Why are you...I'm sorry."
"No need to apologize. My dad hurt you, and you hurt me, so we don't owe each other any more."
"Ye Ruling, I want to tell you. I have always wanted to tell you. I was young at that time and thought my choice was the right one. But every day after that, I regretted my original decision..."
Yan Chige wanted to say something more, but at this time, another female voice intervened in their conversation.
"elder brother."
Ye Ruling watched a woman walking towards them slowly, holding her waist with one hand and a box of building blocks in the other. She was pregnant, and her pregnant belly affected her ability to walk smoothly.
It was the woman who saw Yan Chige tying her shoelaces and carrying her on her back on a rainy night.
Surprisingly, so fast!
"Brother, if I buy this Ali, will you scold me and say I spend money indiscriminately?" When she saw Ye Ruling, she nodded to her to say hello.
Yan Chige saw Ye Ruling's eyes full of curiosity and explained: "My sister. I go shopping with her."
It turns out to be the younger sister. If she is the younger sister, what about Bai Lian?
"Oh, then you should go back quickly. It's time for me to leave."
Chapter completed!
