Chapter 285 Who doesn’t have a baby?
Li Zhen stood there and took a look, "You can call the insurance company and ask someone to come over and take a look."
"The car is not in a hurry, but we may not be able to catch it because Boss Lei is inviting us to dinner. Boss Li will also have to go."
"Ah."
Chen Xiaolin said shyly: "Then can you give me a ride?"
"Okay, get in." Li Zhen said as he sat in the driver's seat and started the car.
Chen Xiaolin went back to her car, took out the key, took her bag, closed the door, locked the car, and walked towards Li Zhen's car, and naturally went to open the passenger door.
Li Zhen then put his coat on the passenger seat.
Chen Xiaolin paused as she pulled the car door, then quickly turned to pull the back door and got in. She closed the door and said politely, "Sorry to bother you."
"No trouble, it's on our way." Li Zhen drove away from the place.
The car drove out for ten minutes without anyone speaking, and Li Zhen didn't turn on any music, so the car was exceptionally quiet. It wasn't until they stopped at the traffic light and waited for the green light that Chen Xiaolin spoke first, breaking the overly quiet atmosphere in the car.
"Didn't Xingchen come with you?"
Li Zhen looked ahead and answered, "She might be late."
"After winning the bid, her company must have a lot of projects, and she should be busier than before."
Li Zhen just listened but didn't answer, so Chen Xiaolin continued to ask, "She is so busy, when can she drink your wedding wine?"
The green light came on, and Li Zhen continued driving, "Of course I want to be as fast as possible, but it depends on what Xingchen means."
Hearing this doting tone, Chen Xiaolin asked with a smile: "Xingchen is not in a hurry, but Auntie should be very anxious to hold her grandson. Hasn't she been visiting Mr. Jiang's baby frequently recently?"
Li Zhen looked straight ahead at the road conditions and said in a normal tone, "Xingchen is still young and has just started his career. My mother is not that anxious, and I also want to spend more time alone together."
Xingchen is still young, and he wants to be alone together. Chen Xiaolin couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, "I think every girl should envy Xingchen for meeting a boyfriend like you who loves to spoil people."
Li Zhen didn't answer, but suddenly asked: "Did Wang Silin come to you again later?"
This topic was thrown at her like a cold stone. Even though it didn't hit her, Chen Xiaolin was still shocked. She looked at his equally cold back for a long time, "Boss Li, do you still suspect that I ordered Wang Silin to hurt Xingchen?"
"I'm just asking casually. After all, I haven't seen Wang Silin since the company fired him, and I thought he might look for you." Li Zhen said it casually.
Chen Xiaolin couldn't help but ask, "What does he want me to do?"
"Didn't he even dare to hurt people just to chase you? I thought he wouldn't give up so easily and cause you...trouble."
I don’t know if the gap between his last two words was intentional or not, but Chen Xiaolin did feel uncomfortable. She turned her head and looked out the window for a moment in silence, then smiled and asked, “Do I have to agree if he pursues me?”
Obviously her words were no longer so polite, but Li Zhen seemed not to notice and continued, "That's not the case. I just heard that you have been in contact since childhood, including Lu An Di."
Chen Xiaolin frowned again when she heard this. Not to mention, she had been working diligently in Zhencheng and had created many achievements, including the fact that she had pulled back the rejected project this time. Even if she had no credit, she had worked hard. Moreover, she had always been very polite. Not only was Li Zhen not polite in return, he was also intentionally or unintentionally probing her in his words.
"Boss Li, I grew up boarding at the Lu family. Not only did I grow up with Xingchen and Lu Andi, but we were also classmates. Isn't it normal to have a common circle of friends?"
"Normal." Li Zhen said, "But Lu Andi and Wang Silin have both hurt Xingchen. You don't mind if I ask them, right?"
"do not mind."
After she said she didn't mind, Li Zhen stopped talking. The atmosphere in the car made Chen Xiaolin even more uncomfortable than when she had nothing to say just now. After all, Li Zhen's words still made her mind. She thought that anyone would mind.
The dining place was not too far from the company, only a twenty-minute drive away. Chen Xiaolin did not say anything else. She waited for Li Zhen's car to stop in the parking lot. She opened the door and got out. She waited for Li Zhen to get out and then respectfully waited for him to leave first.
Li Zhen didn't hesitate to get out of the car and walked in front of her towards the private room that Lei Ming mentioned.
Originally, Chen Xiaolin's assistant Xu Lu was supposed to be at the dinner, but Xu Lu was unable to come due to some matters. Du Xinrui, who was also supposed to be there and was in charge of Chen Xiaolin's project structure, also decided not to come because her child suddenly fell ill. So Chen Xiaolin was the only woman at the dinner.
Since everyone was acquaintances, there was naturally no socializing or urging people to drink at the dinner. When everyone started eating, they talked about Chen Xiaolin's project, and unanimously praised her abilities, and then toasted her.
After three rounds of drinks, everyone tacitly stopped talking about specific work and instead talked about some people and things in the industry, mixed with some small talk and gossip.
The topic was still dominated by Jiang Haicheng who talked the most and gossiped the most. The second was Luo Shi. However, after what happened to Bai Zixuan, Luo Shi's mouth, like his legs, had not yet fully recovered to the level before the injury. Then there was Zhou Shuheng.
Lei Ming is not a talkative person, but he is normal.
Li Zhen usually spoke little at dinner parties, especially when it came to small talk topics that he didn't like. He would basically just listen from the side, and only when he was forced to join in would he show off his sharp tongue and annoy everyone present.
As Jiang Haicheng was chatting, he started to feel the urge to smoke. Since there was a baby at home, he often had to refrain from smoking. But in this situation, he could just take out his cigarette at will. When he handed his cigarette to Li Zhen, Li Zhen raised his hand to refuse, "No."
He held his phone and continued to send WeChat messages to Lu Xingchen.
Jiang Haicheng glanced at the person who was playing with his cell phone at the dinner table, which was unusual.
Luo Shi curled his lips and said, "Lu Xingchen doesn't let him smoke."
Jiang Haicheng rolled his eyes and said, "We haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already being henpecked."
Li Zhen remained calm and asked back without even looking up, "Would you smoke in front of your precious daughter?"
"But you don't dare to beat him when your precious Xingchen is not around." Jiang Haicheng thought he had made a very good rebuttal, but Li Zhen seemed to not hear him and didn't mind him saying he didn't dare. Jiang Haicheng was so disappointed, "You will never be able to turn things around with Lu Xingchen in your life?"
Li Zhen finished sending WeChat messages, put his phone back on the table, looked at Jiang Haicheng and said, "Why should I turn over?"
"..." Jiang Haicheng felt that Li Zhen was hopeless, so he just made a dirty joke, "Don't you want to change your position?"
This time, Li Zhen just glanced at him and said nothing. He could be shameless and have no limits in front of Lu Xingchen, but he would not use these things to make dirty jokes in front of others.
Lei Ming couldn't help but say: "You should learn from Mr. Li, who is calm and low-key."
"He's low-key?" Jiang Haicheng laughed and complained to everyone, "He's definitely a reserved person! One time when we were drinking together, Qin Yue asked him how his relationship with Lu Xingchen was going, but he didn't answer. Qin Yue then talked about his experience of doting on women, and guess how the low-key Mr. Li answered?"
