What's wrong with being a salted fish?

Chapter 148 Are you not satisfied that my wife is me?

The house seemed empty without Wan Linlin, the human-shaped ornament, and Xu Wenhao didn't want to go back to his home.

When he pushed open the door of Xu's villa exhausted, his mother was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a serious face.

"Why don't you turn on the light?"

The room was pitch black, with only a small light on next to the sofa where his mother was sitting. If you didn't know, you would think she was preparing to cosplay in Midnight Haunted.

At this time, his mother said dissatisfiedly: "What have you been thinking about these days?"

"What?" Xu Wenhao didn't quite understand what his mother meant.

"Your dad told me that you've been absent-minded these past few days! You almost made a mistake in the contract! What were you thinking?"

Xu Wenhao was a little disgusted when he heard this, but he still said in a gentle voice: "Did Dad tell you? It was an accident. I was in a bad mood these days."

Xu Wenhao signaled to the housekeeper to turn on the lights. The darkness in the house made him even more irritated.

"Is it because of that woman?" his mother asked to herself.

"No." When Xu Wenhao heard his mother mention Wan Linlin, he started to get a little angry.

His mother didn't listen at all. She became more and more excited as she spoke: "It must be! I knew that little vixen had bad intentions! Look, she has seduced you!"

"She and I have nothing to do with each other! Besides, she was driven away by you!" Xu Wenhao loosened his tie and glared at his mother: "Why did you have to go to her when you were fine? Why do you have to care about my business?"

"I am your mother!"

"I'm not a kid anymore!!"

Xu Wenhao's sudden roar startled his mother, who then came to her senses and trembled with anger. Wasn't Xu Wenhao's behavior a challenge to her authority? !

His mother patted her chest, not wanting to be outdone: "If I don't take care of you, who will? Look at the kind of person you've found! She won't help you in the future at all!"

Xu Wenhao felt annoyed after he finished speaking, so he scratched his head and prepared to go upstairs so that he and his mother could calm down, but he did not expect that he would ignite the fuse of his mother's temper.

"Now you dare to talk back to me for a woman! Do you even have me as your mother?"

Xu Wenhao didn't want to argue with her. Her mother only believed in her own point of view, but he stopped and said, "You seem to have mistaken the owner of this house. My father doesn't care so much."

Then he went upstairs.

"boom--"

His mother smashed the cup on the coffee table to vent her anger. She screamed at the top of her voice, "I'm doing this for your own good. How could I be wrong? You two with the same surname are bullying me, a person with a different surname! How could I have a child like you!"

Xu Wenhao returned to his room. He didn't turn on the lights and took off his coat. He paced back and forth in the room with his mobile phone in his hand, staring blankly at Wan Linlin's chat box in the green bubble.

He rubbed his face, feeling indescribably depressed and bitter. He wanted to smoke a cigarette to ease his mood, but when his hand touched his trouser pocket, he remembered that Bai Li didn't like the smell of cigarettes and lowered his hand.

He hesitated for a long time, but finally clicked on Wan Linlin's chat box.

It's funny that they had added Green Bubble for such a long time, but they had never sent Wan Linlin a message, which had dampened Wan Linlin's enthusiasm.

Xu Wenhao flipped through the message Wan Linlin had sent him before, and felt extremely sad. They were obviously compatible, but because of her, they became strangers.

He had a good idea, but if Wan Linlin knew what he was thinking, she would probably just pat him on the shoulder and say to him: Brother, you're thinking too much.

Wan Linlin sent him a message just to confirm his schedule so that she could arrange her own activities for the day.

But after Xu Wenhao's clear refusal, Wan Linlin rolled her eyes: If you don't want to send it, then don't send it. Do you really think I want to know what you did?

Looking at the last message Wan Linlin sent him, Xu Wenhao pondered for a long time, and finally sent a message to Wan Linlin.

【Are you there? 】

What you get is a message that the other party is not your friend yet and needs to be verified by your friend.

Xu Wenhao suddenly felt ridiculous. He didn't care much about Wan Linlin when she was with him, but after they separated, he missed her a little.

Xu Wenhao rubbed his face with both hands and began to comfort himself: She is just Bai Li's substitute, there is no need to care about her.

Soon there was a thud in the room, and something was broken.

......

"Ding-dong-"

After pressing the button, Lin Zhuo stood with Duan Yunqi waiting for Wan Linlin to open the door.

As a slight sound came from inside, the door was opened. It was Luo Su who opened the door.

He stuck his head out and said with a smile: "Hey, brothers, you are so slow!"

Duan Yunqi glanced at him and said, "You talk too much nonsense."

"Come in, come in, the meal will be served soon." Luo Su took the gift from Duan Yunqi's hand and invited them in.

Lin Zhuo came close to Duan Yunqi and whispered, "Why do I feel like we're at Xiao Su's house?"

Duan Yunqi snorted: "He is shameless."

After entering the house, Lin Zhuo pulled Duan Yunqi to sit on the sofa and looked around. Wan Linlin was too busy to talk to him as she was walking back and forth between the kitchen and the dining room.

The house she rented has three bedrooms and a living room, with no common areas, free water and electricity, and is located in a scenic neighborhood with convenient transportation. The rent is also moderate, and she is very satisfied with it.

Wan Linlin privately told Lin Zhuo that her landlord was interested in selling the house, and she planned to live there for a while before considering whether to buy it. She still liked the place very much.

Lin Zhuo just told her to spend the five million slowly, and Wan Linlin said she knew what she was doing.

"This place is great, I put a lot of effort into it!" Luo Su proudly sat on the single sofa next to him with a bottle of Coke in his hand. When Wan Linlin said she wanted to rent a house, he went to ask people around him.

Duan Yunqi thought he was in the way, frowned and said, "Why don't you go and help?"

Luo Su looked innocent: "I asked the chef to come to our house to cook, and Sister Linlin insisted on helping to serve the dishes."

Lin Zhuo looked around and thought it was indeed good: "You really care about it."

Luo Su patted his chest with a proud look on his face: "Of course, I never cheat my friends."

Duan Yunqi snorted again, and said sarcastically: "Yes, I will only pit my brothers."

Luo Su: “…” Did his brother get angry today?

"Stop, talk less!" Lin Zhuo signaled them to shut up. He came here to eat, not to watch these two people quarreling.

Fortunately, Wan Linlin seemed to have finished her work. She sent the chef away and said to everyone, "It's time to eat."

As she spoke, she saw Duan Yunqi stunned for a moment, and then he nonchalantly called for a few people to come over.

Duan Yunqi noticed it, he pulled the corner of Lin Zhuo's clothes, Lin Zhuo turned around and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"Is she not very welcoming to me?" Duan Yunqi felt a little aggrieved when he said this.

Lin Zhuo thought about it and realized that bringing family members was also approved by the other party. Wan Linlin didn't seem to say anything either. Maybe Duan Yunqi was overthinking it.

So, he patted Duan Yunqi's hand and said, "You think too much. Come and eat."

Duan Yunqi didn't say anything else. He followed Lin Zhuo quietly and then sat down next to Lin Zhuo.

Luo Su actively distributed chopsticks to several people and said that this was the chef he specially invited from a private kitchen with delicious food, so he asked everyone to eat more.

Wan Linlin couldn't help laughing: "If you didn't know, you would think Xiao Su was moving to a new home!"

"Well, I'm happy for Sister Lin!" Luo Su chuckled.

Duan Yunqi picked up a dish with chopsticks and poured a basin of cold water on Luo Su: "I hope you can use this energy on work."

"Brother, you are so boring. You are still talking about work at this time! Are you married to your work?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Yunqi and Lin Zhuo coughed at the same time, and then looked at Russell at the same time.

Although the two did not say a word, Luo Su already felt the huge pressure. He laughed and looked away: "I forgot that my sister-in-law is sitting next to you."

"Eat yours." Lin Zhuo picked up a shrimp for Luo Su, hoping to shut his mouth.

"Thank you sister-in-law!"

Duan Yunqi stared straight at the shrimps in Luo Su's bowl. Despite his gaze that was about to materialize, the latter quickly peeled the shrimps and stuffed them into his mouth.

“…”One step too late.

Just when Lin Zhuo thought he could have a peaceful meal, Wan Linlin suddenly said, "I didn't notice until Xiao Su told me that you two are wearing such a good match today!"

Lin Zhuo looked at Duan Yunqi, then looked down at himself. They had picked out clothes together before going out today, and they were wearing windbreakers of the same color.

Duan Yunqi didn't say anything, but Lin Zhuo could clearly feel that his mood seemed to have become worse. His eyes were cold, as if he wanted to stab someone to death.

Are we going to be able to eat or not? What’s going on with these two people today?

Lin Zhuo met Wan Linlin's eyes with a speechless look: "Is it possible that we are a couple, and it is normal for us to wear couple outfits?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Yunqi's expression visibly improved, causing Wan Linlin to quietly complain, "He's a master of face-changing."

Duan Yunqi then began to put food into Lin Zhuo's bowl non-stop, until Lin Zhuo asked him to stop eating, he regretfully took back his chopsticks.

Luo Su was stunned. Was his brother some young boy who was in love? !

After finishing their meal peacefully, Luo Su and Duan Yunqi went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Wan Linlin took the opportunity to get close to Lin Zhuo: "Sister! What do you think?"

Lin Zhuo was confused: "What?"

Wan Linlin was so disappointed: "Have you forgotten?! He will abandon you for the heroine in the future!"

"......"Have you forgotten who this heroine is?

If she hadn't mentioned it, Lin Zhuo would have forgotten about it. After all, in his heart, he believed in Yu Jingli unconditionally, even if the other party had no memory.

After all, since he dared to make her sleep on the streets, she would make her lose her wife and destroy her job. In the end, they would never have any further contact until they died.

"No." Lin Zhuo shook his head, indicating that Wan Linlin was overthinking.

Wan Linlin acted as if he was possessed by a ghost and shook him madly: "Why didn't I see that you were a love-brained person before?! A love-brained person is something that even dogs won't eat!"

Then she started to talk nonsense again: "I thought you were just being polite, but I didn't expect you to actually bring him here! Sister, you are not sober! There are all kinds of men in the world, why do you have to be so devoted to the man who abandoned you!"

“…” You have already said everything, what else do you want me to say?

Lin Zhuo could only sigh helplessly: "Really not, he doesn't have the courage."

Seeing that Lin Zhuo was refusing to listen, Wan Linlin could only obey his choice: "Okay! When you are kicked out, you can come to me!"

Lin Zhuo found it funny to see her expression that said "you'll know when the time comes": "Then thank you first."

Wan Linlin hugged Lin Zhuo lovingly: "After all, we are good friends!"

As a result, before he could finish his words for two seconds, he heard a sinister male voice: "Then can you please let go of your good friend, my wife? Hmm?"

The two turned around and saw Duan Yunqi with a dark face, and Luo Su who was standing behind him with a look of anticipation.

"!!!"

Both of them were frightened. Wan Linlin hugged him tighter and asked Lin Zhuo nervously and quietly, "Why didn't you tell me that your husband is so jealous!"

Lin Zhuo: “…” Did you give me a chance?

Seeing that Wan Linlin still didn't let go, Duan Yunqi stepped forward and rescued Lin Zhuo from her arms.

I was saved. I almost suffocated to death. Lin Zhuo touched his neck.

"Do you believe me if I tell you I didn't mean it?" Wan Linlin raised her hands with an awkward smile on her face. She really didn't mean it, it was just that Duan Yunqi's expression was too scary.

Lin Zhuo waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.

"I'll give you a massage when we get home?" Duan Yunqi said with his head down.

Lin Zhuo raised his head with shining eyes: "Then it's settled."

Duan Yunqi laughed when he saw him like this: "Of course."

Wan Linlin took the opportunity to lower her presence. She moved closer to Luo Su, who then shook his head and said, "My brother is really hypocritical. I've never seen him treat me so kindly before!"

Wan Linlin laughed and said: Kid, why do you want to compare yourself with his wife?

However, this also made Wan Linlin feel a little relieved. After all, Duan Yunqi didn't look like he liked her, and his jealousy was about to suffocate her.

That’s right, at this time, Wan Linlin remembered her identity as the heroine again.

"By the way, Sister Lin, have you heard?" Luo Su suddenly tugged at Wan Linlin's sleeve mysteriously.

Wan Linlin almost started to complain: Brother, you are flattering me. How can I hear about what is going on in your circle?

But she maintained her expression: "What is it?"

"Miss Bai is coming back." Luo Su was surprised. He thought Wan Linlin knew.

Wan Linlin: "Bai Li? So soon?" She was so busy moving that she forgot about the plot.

Luo Su nodded and continued, "When her family has a dinner party, I'll take you there."

Wan Linlin nodded and said okay, that was perfect, let her go meet the beauty, hehe!

Lin Zhuo looked at the two people who were happy like fools and covered his eyes weakly: When hearing Bai Li's name, he always felt that these two people were more excited than Xu Wenhao.

......

On the way back, Lin Zhuo sat in the passenger seat and hummed a little tune in a good mood.

Since Duan Yunqi was going out with them, they didn't bring a driver, so Duan Yunqi was driving the car.

"very good mood?"

"Hmm?" Lin Zhuo held up his head and looked at him: "Not bad."

Duan Yunqi stopped talking, and Lin Zhuo turned to look at the speeding scenery outside the window.

Just when Lin Zhuo thought that the two of them would have to go home in silence, Duan Yunqi suddenly said, "How about we move to a house like Wan Linlin's?"

Lin Zhuo turned his head in disbelief: What? What did you say?
