Chapter 22 Wind and Rain

In a blink of an eye, it is already late autumn, the fiery red maple leaves are falling all over the sky, the weather in the south is not as cold as the ice and snow in the north, but it is getting colder and damper, people put on thick cotton clothes to welcome the arrival of winter.

Lin Mu's injury has basically healed after more than a month of recuperation, but Su Qinghan still does not allow her to go to work in the company, and solemnly tells her to rest at home.

The storm tonight came very quickly, and the raindrops slapped on the glass windows, like a passionate concerto.Lin Mu frowned and looked at the wind and rain outside the window. Just now, Su Qinghan sent a text message telling her to work overtime tonight, and asked her to go to bed early without waiting for him.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Mu put on her coat, took her umbrella and went out. She went to a nearby restaurant to pack some light and delicious supper, and then drove to the Su Group.

When the security guard saw her at the gate, he was surprised, "Assistant Lin? Are you feeling better?"

Lin Mu greeted him with a smile, and walked all the way to the tenth floor. The whole floor was still brightly lit. When he entered the lounge, he saw Josh and a group of employees eating instant noodles with bitter faces and holding documents in their hands. I kept flipping through the materials, and when I saw her, I was stunned and surprised.

Lin Mu thought it was funny, shook the food bag in his hand, and said with a teasing smile, "Are you all stupid? I brought a supper, hurry up and eat."

Colleagues were all overjoyed, and they didn't forget to ask about Lin Mu's physical condition when they were robbing food. At the same time, they complained about the hard work and asked when she would come to work. Lin Mu patiently answered their chattering questions one by one. question.

"Where's President Su? Still in the office?" Lin Mu asked Josh.

Josh nodded, looked at Lin Mu with a little grievance in his eyes, and said pitifully, "I've been working overtime recently, and Mr. Su is in a bad mood. He always scolds us for our low work efficiency. You When can I come back?"

Lin Mu patted her on the head, and picked up a specially prepared food box, "Okay, I see, I'll go in and have a look first." Then he got up and went to the office.

Knocking on the door, hearing Su Qinghan's extremely impatient "Come in", Lin Mu couldn't help but smile, walked sideways into the door, and put the plastic bag on the workbench.

Without raising her head, Su Qinghan yelled angrily: "Didn't you tell me, don't bother me until the report is out last night?" She didn't hear the expected obedience, she raised her head suspiciously, and saw Lin Mu's gentle voice Smile.

Su Qinghan couldn't help being taken aback, it should be because of rushing here, Lin Mu's body was still wet from the rain outside, a few strands of hair were scattered messily, and his pretty face was slightly flushed due to the heat from the indoor air conditioner , which looks especially alluring under the light.

Seeing her like this, Su Qinghan felt her heart burn and her throat was extremely dry. She managed to calm herself down, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay at home?"

"It's raining outside, so I'm not worried, so I wanted to come and pick you up." Lin Mu went around to the side of the desk, next to Su Qinghan, and looked down at the documents in her hand, "Is work not going well?"

Feeling the heat from her talking hit her face, causing a slight itchiness, Su Qinghan slightly staggered her body, kept a distance from her, and complained: "The group of people outside are so useless .”

Seeing her blushing and sternly complaining about the lovely appearance of the staff, Lin Mu smiled again, took some of the documents in her hand, and sat across from Su Qinghan, "Let me help you." It changed back to the appearance of the original professional assistant.

With Lin Mu's assistance, the work will naturally be more effective with less effort, and it will be completed in a short while. The colleagues all admire Lin Mu.

The two went home directly. Su Qinghan went to take a shower first, and when she came out, she saw Lin Mu sorting out the materials of the meeting just now. In front of the sofa and coffee table, which was a little messy piled up with papers, she was as serious and focused as before.

For more than a month, they have been getting along day and night, and it seems that they are very close, but the two of them have never talked about what happened five years ago. Su Qinghan is very clear that this superficial harmony and sweetness , like a film that can be pierced anytime and anywhere, there is no stability at all.

They'll never be truly intimate if they don't open up and talk it out.

Thinking of this, Su Qinghan looked at her silently for a while, then took out an envelope that she received at the company today from her handbag, sat next to Lin Mu, and handed the envelope to her.

When Lin Mu saw the cover of the envelope, his hands froze.

"I received a subpoena from the court today." Su Qinghan lowered his head and opened his mouth slowly, "It was people from the procuratorate who accused Uncle Zhou, who was still serving his sentence, of securities transactions. It was closed before, and I don’t know why it was brought up again.”

Looking at the silent Lin Mu, she sighed, with a helpless and tired expression on her face, but she still held his cold right hand, "Mu, I can stop blaming you for what happened five years ago, as long as you and I Let's go to court together and defend Uncle Zhou, okay?"

Lin Mu clenched her left hand behind her tightly, her knuckles turned white with force, and her long nails sank into her palm, causing sharp pain, but she turned a deaf ear to it, because no matter what, the pain in her heart could not be offset.

She pursed her lips and said nothing for a long time, then took a deep breath, struggled slightly out of Su Qinghan's hand, turned her head away from the other's frowning and puzzled expression, and her voice was extremely hoarse:

"I'm sorry, Qing Han, I can't promise you."

"Why?" The doubts on Su Qinghan's face became more serious, and her tone became sharper. She really couldn't think of any reason for the other party's rejection.

"Because I have agreed to the procuratorate to serve as the prosecutor's lawyer in this court."

After finishing his sentence, Su Qinghan's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes slowly turned unbelievable when he looked at Lin Mu. This appearance seemed to coincide with the day when they broke up five years ago. Under her gaze, Lin Mu, I just feel that my heart is being torn apart one by one, then glued together again, and then torn apart again.

Su Qinghan laughed again suddenly, as if she understood everything all of a sudden, she smiled, tears fell straight down her eyes, and fell on the floor bit by bit, she looked at Lin Mu, saw Looking at this person who has been struggling with each other for seven years, she loved her for two years and hated her for five years. Now she is willing to put everything down and start with her again, but what did she do?

What did this person who kept saying he loved her do?

"So, that's why you came back, isn't it?" Su Qinghan had already stood up, and she kept a distance from Lin Mu, like two mountains separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, her tears had stopped, a little Hua's makeup is a condensed expression.

"It's not all like this. The main reason I came back is..." Lin Mu also stood up, and took a step forward to get close to Su Qinghan. She tried to explain everything, but the rest of the words got stuck in her throat, like a deep hole in her throat. The barbs of the flesh can neither go up nor go down.

"Enough!" Su Qinghan stretched out his hand to block the distance between the two of them, made a defensive movement, and wiped away the tears on his face with one hand, "I don't want to hear any more explanation from you, if I don't receive any explanation today Subpoena, how long are you going to hide from me?"

Listening to her questioning and seeing her face on the brink of collapse, Lin Mu felt desolate in his heart, opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say anything.

What Su Qinghan said is not wrong. She obviously had countless opportunities to tell her about it, but she chose to hide it. Whenever she wanted to tell her, seeing her in a good mood, she couldn't say anything. up.

This is her selfishness, because she understands that once they talk about it, the relationship between them will reach a freezing point, even irretrievable, and she doesn't want to face such a situation more than anyone else, so she selfishly wants to Extend the happy and sweet time a little longer.

"Uncle Zhou has been imprisoned for five years. Even if he is wrong, he has already been punished, right? Why are you still unwilling to let him go?" Su Qinghan was about to lose her mind at this time, her high-pitched shouts In the silent night, it was particularly heart-rending. On the one hand, she was concealed and deceived by her lover, and on the other hand, she was respectful and grateful to her relatives. She didn't know what to do at all.

"This crime should have been sentenced five years ago, but..." Lin Mu paused, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind, trying to make Su Qinghan realize this fact, "This is not a crime that he wanted to impose, it is that he deserved it in the first place. " When she was speaking, there was a rare trace of resentment in her voice, and her expression became much firmer.

"So, you are not going to stop, are you?" Su Qinghan calmed down, her expressionless face was full of indifference, she stared straight at Lin Mu, as if she wanted to see some flaws in her.

Lin Mu answered everything with silence.

"Then you go, I don't want to see you again." When Su Qinghan said this, a bolt of lightning just struck outside the window, and the white light beam illuminated the dimly lit room, and also illuminated the two people's stiff eyes. stature.

"Qinghan, I can regress in all things, but I have to do it about this." Lin Mu looked at Su Qinghan's expressionless side face, his heart was full of embarrassment, he still opened his mouth to explain, and at the end, he added Previous sentence: "I'm sorry."

Then she took nothing, went to the door and unlocked it.

"Lin Mu, if you go out of this door today, then we are finished." The moment Lin Mu opened the door, Su Qinghan turned around and said to her, with choked tremors in her tone, her eyes were red, and her nails were scratching. On the wooden dining table, deep marks were drawn, all of which indicated that this was her final compromise.

Lin Mu's hand on the doorknob froze suddenly, and after a while, she opened the door and left.

Thunder and lightning rumbled across the sky.

The moment the door was locked, Su Qinghan's heart seemed to fall back into the endless abyss again, and a sense of suffocation rose from the bottom of her heart. She fell down along the wall of the entrance, and buried her head in her knees wrapped around her arms , crying bitterly.

Lin Mu didn't leave immediately, she stood outside the door for a long time, her thin lips were pursed into a straight line, her thin side face was a little condensed, listening to the faint crying sound coming from the room, accompanied by the rushing rain, It formed a melancholy elegy, lingering in her heart.

She stood stiffly for a long time, until she could no longer hear any sound in the house, she walked away as if regained consciousness, the wind and rain outside, she just let the downpour wet the whole body, the chill spread from head to toe.

When they arrived at the gate of the community, the security uncle yelled at her in the guard room: "Little girl, why are you walking alone in the rain, do you want me to lend you an umbrella?"

Lin Mu turned a blind eye and walked forward.

When the security guard walked out with an umbrella, he could only see Lin Mu's silhouette disappearing in the torrential rain, drifting away.

"This girl seems to have lost her soul." The uncle muttered suspiciously, then glanced at the dark sky that seemed to swallow everything, and said with emotion: "I don't know how long this heavy rain will last." Woolen cloth!"
