Good news! The host was loved by the Lord God at first sight

Chapter 200: Catch Your Tail (13)

Lin Cheng returned to his house.

He lives in a single-family house in the city center.

There is a lot of traffic outside, but he can own a villa in such a place where every inch of land is valuable.

Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the crowded crowd, while people outside look up but can only see cold, reflective glass.

It was as if a huge natural moat had risen out of nowhere, separating the inside and outside into two worlds.

There were many expensive wines in the refrigerator. Lin Cheng picked one at random and started drinking from the bottle without using a wine glass.

Once upon a time, he was one of those ordinary people, living in fear every day, worrying about where he would have his next meal.

At that time, he dreamed of becoming successful and famous, and possessing endless wealth and glory.

Now, he did it.

But then?

The wind blew in, shaking the wind chimes and making a crisp sound.

Lin Chengwei raised his head and saw colorful paper cranes flying above his head.

He suddenly remembered that when he had no money, he got up early and went to bed late, working three jobs every day.

In the morning, he went out to work before his sister got up.

When he rushed home in the evening, his sister was already asleep.

Such a little thing, stubbornly curled up on the sofa, waiting for him to come back.

Lin Cheng advised her many times to go to the room and sleep, saying that she would catch a cold if she slept outside, but she always insisted on waiting for her brother to come back.

When did my sister suddenly stop smiling so much?

The room was empty and it was extremely lonely to be alone.

Lin Cheng missed the small rental house. Although it was small, it was filled with the little one's sweet voice.

The phone in his pocket was vibrating. Lin Cheng looked at the note displayed on the page and wanted to hang up, but he picked up the call anyway.

"what's up?"

His voice was low and impatient.

The person on the other end of the phone said in a panic: "Lin Cheng, our stock price has dropped by 20 percentage points, and the project we had agreed on has also fallen through. I suspect it is..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Cheng hung up the phone.

He felt a kind of irritation that he couldn't get rid of. He had given so much to the company, and on weekdays, he would be extremely nervous whenever there was any disturbance.

But now, he didn't want to listen at all.

The stock price drops, the project is lost, so what?

That was the benefit the monster had promised him, but he failed to complete the task the monster gave him, so naturally he ended up with nothing.

Take them all, take them all back, love whoever you want.

The feeling of failure was about to overwhelm Lin Cheng. He didn't want to care about anything anymore. What did the company's bankruptcy and the destruction of the earth have to do with him?

It's very selfish. The lives and property of countless employees are tied to Lin's. If the company goes bankrupt, what will happen to their families? How will they live?

The wind chimes above my head were still ringing.

It rang again and again.

Lin Cheng listened quietly, and his restless heart miraculously calmed down.

Little by little, he regained his lost sanity.

Little by little, he regained his lost conscience and the treasures that should be cherished.

Lin Cheng gently placed the empty bottle on the table, picked up the car keys, and walked out.

There was only one thought in my mind: to find my sister.

Even if she doesn't forgive me, I want to see her safe with my own eyes.

What to say?

It’s all because of human inferiority.

As the old saying goes: People only learn to cherish something after they lose it.

In fact, this is not the case. We should add a premise to this sentence.

Only when this person is not living a satisfactory life will he think of what he has lost.

To put it bluntly, it's selfish.

Everyone is like this.

But at the same time, people have another inferior character, which can’t really be considered an inferior character.

It’s better to say it’s a weakness, that is - being soft-hearted.

For example, at this moment, Lin Cheng drove to the Jiang family.

He got out of the car.

Uncle Zhou was playing in the yard with Lin Xue, whose injuries had recovered. When he saw Lin Cheng's face, he became furious.

How dare this thing, worse than a beast, come here?

It’s really shameless.

Bah, what face? He doesn’t even have a conscience, so what face do he have?

Lin Xue also saw the people outside the door, and she paused what she was doing.

Their eyes met, Lin Xue blinked, then lowered her head to dig the soil again.

Uncle Zhou looked at her worriedly, afraid that she would be soft-hearted and follow her brother, who was worse than a beast.

Lin Xue, however, looked normal, as if she was not affected at all.

"Grandpa Zhou," she raised her little face and said sweetly to Uncle Zhou, "There are no more flower seeds."

Uncle Zhou thought she was going to beg him to let the person outside the door in, but when he suddenly heard her say that the flower seeds were gone, his brain froze for a few seconds.

Uncle Zhou looked in the direction of her white and tender fingers, and saw that the small pot containing the flower seeds was actually empty, without a single seed.

No, there were still some at that time.

Could it be that I am dazzled?

Uncle Zhou was skeptical, but when he saw Lin Xue's smiling face, he couldn't say no.

Forget it, he's just going to get a bag of flower seeds, it's no big deal.

The door was locked, and that heartless creature couldn't get in.

Thinking of this, Uncle Zhou stood up and told Lin Xue, "Xiaoxue, Grandpa will go get it right away. You just wait here obediently and don't run around."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Xue with concern, as if to remind her.

After all, he is just a teenager and can't hide his thoughts.

The smile on Lin Xue's lips froze for a moment before falling again.

She said obediently: "Grandpa Zhou, don't worry, Xiaoxue won't run around, I'll be waiting here for you to come back."

Uncle Zhou saw that she was very obedient, so he turned around and went into the house.

After stepping one foot in, he turned back and glared at Lin Cheng threateningly.

Only after he left did Lin Xue take out the other hand that was behind her back.

She opened her palm, and inside it lay a few round seeds.

She continued to dig some soil, dug a few small holes, and buried the seeds in them.

Lin Cheng didn't move. He just leaned against the car door, lit a cigarette, and smoked while looking at Lin Xue in the yard.

He also ignored Uncle Zhou's threats.

Jiang Wan stood in front of the second-floor window and took in everything.

When she went downstairs, Uncle Zhou was about to go out with a small bag of flower seeds in his arms.

Jiang Wan called him, "Uncle Zhou."

Uncle Zhou took his foot back and turned back, "Miss Jiang."

"Is Xiaoxue in the yard?"

"Yeah, we were planting flowers in the yard, and we ran out of seeds, so I came in to get some."

Jiang Wan nodded in understanding, and she said, "Uncle Zhou, let's go together. I just happen to be free, so I'll play with Xiaoxue for a while."

Uncle Zhou smiled cheerfully: "That's great, Xiaoxue likes you the most, Miss Jiang, she will definitely be very happy to see you."

Jiang Wan didn't say anything else, and the two of them walked out together.

Outside……

The cigarette burned out quickly, and Lin Cheng threw the butt to the ground and stepped on it to put it out.

He took out his cigarette case and wanted to smoke another one.

He glanced up inadvertently, his gaze paused for a moment, and then he put the half-smoked cigarette back.
