Chapter 142 Guilt
Rafis Restaurant, 36th floor.
Liu Jin and Zhan Lianshi were sitting by the window.
In front of them was a delicate sirloin steak, next to a glass of red wine.
The two of them held knives and forks and ate elegantly, just like before.
There were looks from all around that were either surprised, curious, or doubtful.
Liu Jin acted as if she hadn't seen it, with an elegant smile on her lips and happiness in her eyes.
It seemed that the reports on the front pages were purely gossip and had no impact on her at all.
But……
"Lian Shi, I never thought that you would be involved in a scandal one day."
She picked up the wine glass, shook it with her fingers, and looked at Zhan Lian with a smile on her lips.
Zhan Lianshi picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, his movements exuding a noble air from the inside out.
He raised his eyes and looked at her, "Whenever there are reporters, there are scandals."
The smile on Liu Jin's lips widened, but the coldness in her eyes was very serious.
Who doesn't know that anyone in this world can have scandals, but one person can't have them.
This person is Zhan Lianshi.
Now, he told her that as long as there are reporters, there are scandals.
How dare all the reporters die after so many years?
"Do you think I will believe this reason?"
"You can choose not to believe it."
The smile on Liu Jin's lips dropped a little.
Zhan Lianshi took the wine glass and shook it lightly.
Liu Jin's fingers curled up on the table and then clenched.
"Lian Shi, I realized that I have never seen through you."
Zhan Lianshi paused while shaking the wine glass, and then his eyes fell on her face, "Ji'er, how can I see through you?"
His gaze was like a sharp knife, piercing her heart suddenly.
Liu Jin's eyes panicked, and her eyes subconsciously dodge.
His look seemed to see through her heart, reminding her of the scene on the road that day.
Zhao Qiwei kissed her forcefully.
She knew he couldn't know.
But he looked at it as if he knew.
Liu Jin suppressed the confusion in her heart, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and curved her confident and elegant smile, "It's the inability to see through that keeps you interested in me."
Zhan Lianshi looked into her eyes, his dark eyes deep, "Really?"
"certainly."
Zhan Lianshi sent Liu Jin to the hotel and left.
Liu Jin looked at the car driving away and spread her palms.
Sweat on one hand.
Lying in front of Zhan Lianshi is as difficult as climbing to heaven.
but!
There was no way he knew what happened that day, and even if he did, it was not of her own free will.
There is no need for her to feel guilty.
Moreover, he is the one who should feel guilty now. His Zhan Lianshi’s heart is now focused on his nephew’s fiancée!
Jiayuan Community.
Liu Guodong packs things at home.
Suddenly, the door was opened and Liu Xin walked in.
Liu Guodong's face turned cold instantly when he saw him.
But instead of scolding Liu Xin as before, he turned around and dealt with it.
It's like treating Liu Xin like air.
Liu Xin didn't think anything of it, and walked over to him as usual, "Dad, your baby is still in the same place, right?"
Liu Guodong paused for a moment and then stopped responding and continued to clean up.
Liu Xin sighed and walked into the study.
In fact, he came back home to see the old man two days ago.
Asked him for the enamel porcelain plate. He knew that the old man had hidden it.
Who would have thought that the old man would donate this thing to the museum!
He was so angry that he almost killed the old man.
What made him even more angry was that the old man sold the land and the house, and all the money was donated to Hope Primary School.
I was stunned that I didn’t even have half a penny left for him!
If it hadn't been for someone buying the green embroidery secret in his house at a high price this time, he would never have set foot in his house.
Liu Xin walked into the study and started searching.
There are only a few places where the old man hides his things.
He knows it all.
The last time he was looking for an enamel porcelain plate, he had seen that book, the secret of green embroidery passed down from generation to generation in the family.
But at that time, he only thought it was a useless book. Who would have thought that someone would offer millions to buy this book.
As long as he finds the book and gives it to that person, won't the money come in the same way?
Thinking of this, Liu Xin couldn't help laughing.
Liu Guodong heard the noise inside, shook his head, took the tape and sealed the box.
Soon, Liu Xin ran out and asked, "Where is that useless book?"
Liu Guodong said without raising his head: "Burn it."
"What!"
Liu Xin's expression changed drastically.
Liu Guodong finally looked at him and said, "Burn."
"you!"
Liu Xin grabbed Liu Guodong's collar and was so angry that his eyes were about to burst.
"Do you know what that is? That's one million! You actually burned it for me!"
Liu Guodong looked at him, "So, you want to kill me now?"
"you!"
"No way, you couldn't have burned that precious book, you definitely hid it!"
The old man's two most precious things in this life are the enamel porcelain plate and the secret of blue embroidery.
He would never burn this thing!
Liu Xin immediately started rummaging around the house, even opening the box sealed by his father Liu Guodong and pouring out all the contents.
However, he searched all over his house and could not find the book.
His patience reached its limit, "Liu Guodong, you old fool, where did you hide the book?"
He grabbed Liu Guodong and shouted, looking crazy.
Liu Guodong was very calm and said, "Burn."
"You! I will strangle you to death right now! Do you want to say anything?"
Liu Xin grabbed Liu Guodong's neck and completely lost his mind.
"It's burning..."
"Where?"
"burn……"
Liu Guodong's eyelids began to roll up, and the veins on Liu Xin's hands popped out.
At this time, a voice came from behind, "What are you doing!"
Liu Xin regained his senses and saw Liu Guodong dying under him.
Liu Xin trembled and immediately retreated.
Sister Liu ran over and quickly helped Liu Guodong up, "Old club!"
Liu Xin looked at Liu Guodong who was turning blue, turned around and ran away.
He ran out of the community in one breath, and a cold wind blew, and he suddenly thought of someone.
It's her.
