Chapter 12 The Confrontation in the Basement
He was really drunk.
The cigarette case was squeezed tightly by Lin Zhen and stuffed into the pocket of the nightgown.
He stood quietly behind Li Zhenbai, breathing the cold air of the same early spring night.
When I received a call from my younger brother at night, the boredom in my heart gradually dissipated at this moment, not because it was this person in front of me, but because there was someone who looked at the sky lonely like him in the early morning.
With only half a cigarette left to smoke, Li Zhenbai turned around, and when he saw Lin Zhen handing the ashtray in front of him, he raised his eyebrows: "You're still here."
Lin Zhen was still immersed in the silence just now, didn't speak, just watched him silently put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.
When Li Zhenbai pushed open the door of the house, he asked him: "Why are you still awake so late?"
Lin Zhen followed behind him: "I fell asleep, and got up again when I was hungry."
Li Zhenbai, who was about to go to the elevator, paused, turned his head and glanced at him, "What do you want to eat?" He unbuttoned his suit jacket, took it off, and handed it to Lin Zhen, "The chef is asleep at this time, I'll do it."
Lin Zhen grabbed the warm clothes in his hands, and was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that Li Zhenbai in front of him was pretending to be Santa Claus, but even if this absurd idea is true, it's not Christmas now, and it's not like he still has expectations for gifts little child.
He really wanted to see what Li Zhenbai could do, but luckily he still had reason.
When Li Zhenbai rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen, Lin Zhen grabbed his elbow: "No need, I cooked noodles, do you want some?"
Li Zhenbai hesitated for a moment: "Give me a little less."
Lin Zhen hung up his suit jacket and went to the kitchen to wash his hands again. When he served the noodles, he realized that they had been soaked for too long. The noodles had absorbed the noodle soup and swelled up, making them too mushy and soft.
He turned his head and glanced at Li Zhenbai who was sitting at the dining table, knowing that the other party would not have the patience to wait for too long, so he had to bite the bullet and filled two bowls, and found a few side dishes from the refrigerator, put them on a tray, and brought them over.
The two sat opposite each other and ate quietly across the table.
Li Zhenbai took a bite before stopping his chopsticks, Lin Zhen looked over apologetically: "It took too long after cooking."
Li Zhenbai said: "It's okay, it tastes good." That being said, he only ate a few bites of side dishes afterwards, and the noodles remained untouched.
When Lin Zhen had almost eaten, Li Zhenbai asked him, "Have you gotten used to it recently?"
Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was asking himself how he felt after marrying into the Li family, and he nodded: "It's all good."
Li Zhenbai asked again: "Are you still used to being in the company?"
Lin Zhen nodded: "Adapt."
After the noodles were finished, Li Zhenbai was about to go back to his room to rest, while Lin Zhen put all the pots and bowls into the dishwasher in the kitchen.
After cleaning up, he washed his hands in the sink, feeling drowsy, and was about to go back to his room to rest. As soon as he turned around, he saw that Li Zhenbai was still there, leaning against the island in the open kitchen, with his arms folded. chest, staring at himself with a serious and deep gaze.
Lin Zhen was stiff all over, thinking he had discovered something, but heard Li Zhenbai say: "Don't smoke anymore, it's bad for your health."
Lin Xinxin instantly relaxed, thinking that it was Li Zhenbai's patriarchal daily care, and saw his eyes sweeping over his abdomen, then back to his face, and said calmly: "After all, Mom should miss it very much." See her grandson as soon as possible."
"..."
Li Zhenbai went upstairs. After Lin Zhen stood there for a long time, he went to the room. When he passed the living room, he stopped and glanced at the ashtray on the coffee table and the remaining cigarette butt inside. After a few seconds, he put the The ashtray and the cigarette butts were thrown into the trash can.
Lin Zhen lay down on the bed, recalling the scene of getting along with Li Zhenbai that night. Although the ending was very unhappy, he still had to say that Li Zhenbai pulled him out of that boring and manic state of mind.
He turned over and thought again, Li Zhenbai was really drunk, and this brother-in-law didn't even ask about his brother's condition all night.
No, where is Li Zhengxiao?
Lin Zhen sat up abruptly, took out his mobile phone and looked at it. There were dozens of unread messages in WeChat, and there were more than a dozen missed calls. He muted his mobile phone in the kitchen and didn't hear it at all.
At the gate, Lin Zhen let Li Zhengxiao, who was shivering from the cold, in. He sneezed and asked in a low voice, "How is it, brother, didn't you notice that I'm not here?"
Lin Zhen shook his head: "No."
Li Zhengxiao hunched over like a thief and walked towards the gate of the mansion: "Why have you been doing this for so long, I'm freezing to death."
Lin Zhen comforted him: "Brother, he went back to rest after eating. How are you? I'll make you a bowl of ginger soup."
Li Zhengxiao sniffed: "Don't make trouble at night, I can drink some hot water."
After arriving in the room, Li Zhengxiao drank a cup of hot water and stared at his big bed in a daze: "Are you in bed?"
Lin Zhen went downstairs in a hurry and forgot to make the bed. He apologized: "I'm sorry, I'll change the sheets and quilts, you wait."
Li Zhengxiao held him back: "Forget it, it's almost morning, so let's do it."
Lin Zhen had been sleepy for a long time, and he didn't insist on hearing the words, so he went back to the small living room and fell asleep on the sofa.
He didn't know that in the bedroom, Li Zhengxiao was lying on the bed tossing and turning without falling asleep for a long time.
Li Zhengxiao was lying on the bed covered by the quilt, turned his head to the pillow and sniffed carefully, a faint fragrance was inhaled into the nostrils, obviously the smell was very mild, but he just felt hot and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
......
Early the next morning, Lin Zhen knocked on Li Zhengxiao's door and found that he had a fever.
He called Dr. Du, and he arrived soon. After the examination, he gave Li Zhengxiao a fever-reducing injection, took anti-inflammatory medicine and cold medicine, and Li Zhengxiao fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Zhen didn't bother to eat breakfast, and came out of the room, and asked Fang Fang to keep an eye on the second young master at all times, then took his briefcase and hurried downstairs to the underground garage.
He got down in time, the driver had just opened the back door, and Li Zhenbai was about to get in the car.
When he saw Lin Zhen, he frowned slightly: "What are you doing here?"
Lin Zhenxin tightened his heart: "I'm going to work."
Li Zhenbai's face became obviously displeased: "Zheng Xiao is sick, you stay at home to take care of him." After saying that, he was about to get in the car.
Lin Zhen knew that once the car door was closed, there would be no room for change in this matter. Today is the first meeting of the Yunzhi Automobile acquisition project. He is already a marginal character. If he cannot participate in this meeting, he will be even more marginalized. Lin Zhen Absolutely do not allow yourself to be absent.
A second before the driver was about to close the car door, Lin Zhen stepped forward quickly and grabbed the door with a snap. The driver was stunned for a moment, and let go of his hand.
Li Zhenbai's face turned extremely ugly, and he almost burst out a warning word by word: "You better have a reasonable explanation."
Lin Zhen's mind was almost blank, he only knew that he had to fight for himself.
He bent down, lowered his body, looked closely at Li Zhenbai, and said, "I must go."
The tense atmosphere almost turned the air around here into flammable gas. It seemed that a tiny spark could cause the underground garage to vibrate violently.
After a while, when everyone thought that Li Zhenbai would lose his temper, his lips moved and he said, "Get in the car."
