Xinmi Cafe is not far from the back entrance of University A, and is next to a small park and shopping mall, so students from University A often come here to work part-time.

Lixing is one of them.

The middle shift she was in today, because it was noon and the weather was hot, so there were not many people in the coffee shop, only a few tables of guests.

She and her colleagues stood behind the counter boredly waiting for customers to come to their door.

"Whoa, Rolls-Royce?"

Li Xing was awakened by a moderate exclamation from his colleague.

She looked up and looked outside the store door, and saw a black car parked on the side of the road.

The driver in a black suit and white gloves got out of the car respectfully and opened the door, and a well-dressed lady got out of the back seat.

She was wearing a simple and elegant long dress, and her long hair was meticulously tied into a bun behind her head. A huge pair of black pants almost covered half of her face, but it could still be seen that she was beautiful when she was young. face.

Colleagues greeted him quickly with smiles on their faces.

"Hello, ma'am, how many people?"

"Cut! Really powerful! It's like I've never seen a rich man before."

Li Xing turned her head and found that the person speaking was Mao Wei, so she quickly stopped her, "What nonsense?"

"Aren't I right?" Mao Wei didn't feel that he had said anything wrong at all, with a look of contempt still on his face, "When I see a luxury car and a rich woman, I want to post it, what is it if it's not influence?"

"Xiao Yi is entertaining guests," Li Xing defended his colleagues, "Why do you say something so ugly when it comes out of your mouth?"

"Is he entertaining guests with that face?" Mao Wei said in a disdainful tone, "I think he is here for money. If a poor student came in, how could he laugh like this?"

Li Xing turned his head to look over, Xiao Yi was leading the guests into the private room with a professional smile.

Both candid and decent.

Not the slightest overstepping the bounds.

Li Xing looked away, she was too lazy to talk, and turned around to tidy up the cups.

Seeing this, Mao Wei thought that the other party was persuaded by him, and said triumphantly: "See, you should stay away from people with this kind of power."

"Go to work."

After saying this, Li Xing didn't speak to Mao Wei again for a while.

I don't know if it was her illusion, she always felt that the lady looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

Ding Dong!

The door of the store was pushed open, and a young man in a white shirt walked in.

The young man's face was cold and expressionless. He was wearing a pair of glasses with gold rims, and he could faintly see the icy blue eyes behind the lenses.

Li Xing's eyes lit up, "Teacher Shan?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi turned around and asked, "Know you?"

"Well, my teacher." Li Xing answered and greeted him, even his back was full of joy, "I'll entertain you."

Seeing how she was walking out in a hurry, Xiao Yi shook his head helplessly, "It's really a little girl, I can't move when I see a handsome guy."

After finishing speaking, he continued to clean the cup, without noticing that Mao Wei, who was standing next to him, had already turned pale.

He stared at Shan Cen, wishing to see a hole in him.

"Teacher Shan!"

"Li Xing?" Shan Cen looked at the girl in front of him, and found that she was wearing a uniform with a coffee shop logo and a famous tag, "Part-time job here?"

"Yeah." Li Xing nodded with a smile, "I don't have anything to do during the summer vacation, so I found a part-time job."

"Not bad." Shan Cen affirmed her approach. Proper experience of life is helpful for the discovery of creative inspiration, but, "Have you finished painting your entries?"

Li Xing: "..."

Suddenly, I felt a sense of embarrassment that I was caught by the teacher for skipping class.

She lowered her head with a guilty conscience, "It's still a little bit close."

"then you……"

"But Mr. Shan, please don't worry." Li Xing immediately expressed his determination when he heard that something was wrong, "I promise to finish it before the deadline, and I will never delay the delivery."

Taking the 2024 oil painting class for a year, Shan Cen basically got a feel for everyone's personality. Li Xing is a person who loves to play on the surface, but has his own plans, so she said that, she definitely has no problem.

Shan Cen felt relieved, "Go to work."

"I'm working right now," Li Xing said with a smile, "Teacher, who are you? What do you want to drink?"

"I have an appointment." Shan Cen looked inside, but he didn't see anyone. Just as he was about to take out his phone to ask, he saw the bodyguard who had been by Xi Xinying's side come out of a private room. .

"Young Master Shan, Madam is inside." The bodyguard nodded slightly, signaling Shan Cen to go over.

"Okay." Shan Cen agreed, and then said to Li Xing, "A cup of black coffee, thank you."

"Ok."

The private room is not big as a whole, but there are windows on half of the wall. The windows are opened a little, and the wind blows in.

Outside the window is the artificial lake in the small park. The sun is just right, and stars are floating on the surface of the lake rippled by the wind.

Shan Cen stepped forward to say hello politely, "Mrs. Lin, good afternoon."

"Yeah." Xi Xinying raised her head and glanced at him, her voice was cold, "Sit."

Shan Cen Yiyan sat down opposite her.

He looked calm on the surface, but his heart was already beating like a drum.

Between him and Xi Xinying, there is only one topic that can be discussed, and that is Lin Lu.

So he could vaguely guess what the other party was going to do by asking him out.

Xi Xinying picked up the coffee and took a sip, then asked in a cold voice, "Lin Lu lives here with you now?"

"Yes." Shan Cen replied.

The fingers on the knee were a little stiff with tension.

"Why did you move here?" Xi Xinying asked.

Shan Cen moved his stiff fingers, "It's relatively close to the school, so it's convenient to go to class."

When he said this, he felt a little guilty in his heart, because University A is more than an hour's drive away from Mingxia Group, but if he lives in Nanhu, it only takes 10 minutes for Lin Lu to go to work, so they chose that place as their home at the beginning. Housing for newlyweds.

Because no matter which side it is, it is about the same time.

He thought Xi Xinying would say something after hearing it, but she just nodded and said nothing.

She turned her head to look out of the window and stopped talking.

Shan Cen didn't know what to say, the two were relatively speechless, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Xiao Yi went to greet other guests, and there were only two people left in front of the counter again.

Li Xing turned on the machine to brew black coffee.

Mao Wei, who was on the side, suddenly asked, "That's the teacher in your school who was called a flower god?" He usually heard Li Xing mention it a lot, and when he saw Li Xing's joy when he saw someone just now, he knew it when he thought about it.

At first he thought it was Li Xing's exaggeration, but he didn't expect that it was because he was really good-looking.

But thinking that the person he likes only sees others, the jealousy in Mao Wei's heart is like a weed, rising crazily.

And Li Xing, who was in a good mood after seeing Shan Cen, no longer cared about Mao Wei's nonsense before, she let out an 'hmm' and asked casually, "Is it particularly good-looking?"

Mao Wei recalled Shan Cen's appearance, and muttered: "Isn't he just a little boy?"

Li Xing didn't hear clearly, and tilted his head, "What?"

"Nothing." Mao Wei glanced at Li Xing and asked casually, "Do you like him?"

"That's right!" Li Xing replied frankly, "Who doesn't like a handsome guy, and he has money." Although the rich is the old Gong of Huashen, he is also rich.

Rich again!

Mao Wei clenched his fingers in his pocket into fists, and the gloomy look in his eyes flashed, "Do you like rich people?"

"Isn't this nonsense?" Li Xing said, "Who in this world doesn't like money?"

Mao Wei's face darkened instantly.

His family was poor since he was a child, and it was hard for his family to send him to university.But some people are born with a golden key in their mouth, and have a lot of money to squander.

When they were still struggling for their livelihood, they had already enjoyed the blessings of being equal to each other.

Even the eyes of the person he likes will be taken away.

He looked in the direction where Shan Cen was, with hatred growing in his eyes.

Isn't it money?Married to a man, dating a woman, and that woman looks like a rich woman.

Thinking of something, a calculation flashed in his eyes.

The finger in his pocket touched the phone, his eyes rolled, and a calculation jumped into his mind.

"Li Xing, my cell phone is out of battery, can you lend me a use, I'll call home."

Li Xing unlocked the phone without hesitation and handed it over, "I have a charging cable, do you want to use it?"

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome, I'll finish serving the coffee first, and I'll bring it to you later."

"Ah."

Mao Wei turned on the camera, and while Li Xing was delivering coffee, he quickly took a picture in Shan Cen's direction. Although only the woman's frontal face and Shan Cen's profile were captured, it was enough.He took another picture of the luxury car outside the window.

He clicked on the browser, and according to the records, he logged into the forum of Leixing A, and quickly finished posting.

After sending, he cleared the record, exited, deleted the photo, and then pretended to dial a number.

He gave Shan Cen a bad look.

Imagine the other person being the target of public criticism.

I feel happy for a while.

He returned the phone to Li Xing, "Is the coffee delivered?"

"Yeah." Li Xing put his phone away and said with emotion, "Ms. Shan's skin is really good. Compared with him, I think I'm a man."

Mao Wei: "..."

Shan Cen took a sip of his coffee, eased his tense expression, and asked the doubts in his heart, "I don't know what Mrs. Lin is looking for me for?"

"I heard from the nurse that you went to the nursing home to give Lao Lin a massage some time ago?" Xi Xinying asked without answering. ,

There is no emotion in the voice.

Shan Cen didn't deny it, "Yes."

Two days ago, when he had time, he went to the nursing home again.

I just didn't expect Xi Xinying to know.

Xi Xinying smiled, and there were a few small crow's feet at the end of her eyes, but it didn't affect her beauty at all. Her voice was a little cold, "I said, you don't have to do this. We hired a nurse, and they just do it." this job."

"I know." Shan Cen tried to explain, "I just..."

"You don't have to please me, I've said that too." Xi Xinying interrupted Shan Cen.

She turned her head to look out the window, her eyes suddenly became distant.

When she spoke again, her voice was very calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

She said: "Lin Lu is as stubborn as his father, and things he believes will not change. So from the moment he took you home, I knew that no matter how much I objected, he would with you. So, "

Xi Xinying turned her head back, her eyes fell on Shan Cen's face, and she said, "So these things you did are completely unnecessary and not necessary at all."

For Xi Xinying, Shan Cen has always been laissez-faire in recent years.

He doesn't like being coerced, so he doesn't want to coerce others,

As far as he was concerned, since Xi Xinying had already stated her position when they first met, there was no need for him to think of ways or aggressively seek the so-called reconciliation.

What he can do, or what he will do, is to reduce the number of times he appears in front of her.

Staying in your own position in peace and harmony, not exceeding the rules.

"I didn't go to the nursing home just to please you." Shan Cen's voice was very soft, as if it could be dispersed by the wind.

He said: "Lin Lu is very busy, and he doesn't go to the nursing home much, so I just hope to help him do something when he can't take care of it for the time being."

If there were still doubts before, Lin Lu would like to give Father Lin a massage when he has time, but after the last time, Shan Cen is sure that if time permits, Lin Lu will be happy to do this.

"I'm just helping Lin Lu as much as I can, not trying to please anyone."

What's more, he didn't think Xi Xinying was a person who was influenced by flattery.

"Yeah, Lin Lu is very busy." Xi Xinying curled her lips mockingly, not knowing if she was mocking herself or Shan Cen.

"But do you know what he's busy with?" Xi Xinying asked.

Shan Cen was obviously taken aback.

Xi Xinying understood from the bottom of her heart, "Shan Cen, I don't hate you. Say something irresponsible," she paused before continuing, "If you weren't Lin Lu's lover, we might be good friends. "

"Do you know why?" she asked.

Shan Cen shook his head: "I don't know."

Xi Xinying turned her head, and her eyes fell on the lake outside the window again.

At some point on the lake, two mandarin ducks swam over and rowed across the lake side by side, leaving layers of ripples.

"Because we are so similar." Xi Xinying said, "Looking at you is like looking at me when I was young."

Shan Cen looked at Xi Xinying, and couldn't believe that she said this.

He always knew that he and Xi Xinying were the same kind of people.

That's why in the past few years, they can live in peace and play a harmonious family relationship in front of Lin Lu.

Xi Xinying said: "We all have things we like and pursue. Under the escort of our parents and lovers, we have been living in our own world without any scruples."

There was a wind blowing over, bringing a burst of strong floral fragrance.

Shan Cen smelled the scent of jasmine, which was mixed in the scent of the flower, making it very light.

Xi Xinying leaned back on the back of the chair, "But we enjoy their protection, but when they need it, we can't do anything."

When Lin Chenghao's accident happened, Lin Lu had just grown up, but she shouldered Ming Xia's burden. On the contrary, she was the mother, who couldn't help with anything except dragging her down. She will never forget the feeling of powerlessness in her life .

So she hoped that Lin Lu could find someone who could help him, even if the help wasn't that great, she wouldn't be as blind as her.

However, when Lin Lu brought Shan Cen home, she could tell at a glance that Shan Cen was the same person as her.

They all hold an indifferent attitude towards the world, ignore things and people they don't like, and immerse themselves in their own world.

At that moment, she couldn't speak a word.

She also wanted to make a hysterical scene like those wicked mother-in-laws in TV dramas.

But in the end she found that she didn't even have the ability to make trouble.

She tried to reason with Lin Lu, but every time Lin Lu smiled and said to her, "Mom, I love him."

How difficult it is for thousands of people in the world to meet a lover who loves each other.

Lin Lu is her son, and no one wants him to be happy more than she does.

So she can only compromise.

The only thing she can do is stay away from their lives and not cause trouble to them.

But in fact, her distance itself is trouble.

"Shan Cen." Xi Xinying suddenly called him, and her eyes fell, "If you were me four years ago, facing my husband who was unconscious after a car accident, the stock price falling to the limit, and the chaos, all parties What can you do for a company that is coveting with power?"

Shan Cen lowered his eyes, he fixedly looked at his fingertips, and asked himself, what can he do?

He can't do anything.

He doesn't understand the company, he doesn't understand stocks, and he hasn't even been to Mingxia once.

"You can't do anything, you don't even have a child." Xi Xinying threw the last straw.

Shan Cen's fingers on his knees tightened suddenly.

"It's enough for him to have me."

Lin Lu's voice came from the door, and Shan Cen subconsciously turned his head to look, and immediately met a pair of dark eyes.
