After a while, Xia Lin and Lin Haoxuan reluctantly parted, Xia Lin stroked Lin Haoxuan's cheek, kissed him lightly on the forehead, and his tone showed incomparable concern: "Haoxuan, why did you come to the screen door?" I haven't seen you in a few days, you've lost weight, are you still so tired lately? ”

There was an indescribable feeling in my heart, and it was enough for the iron-blooded rivers and lakes to have this moment of tenderness.

Lin Haoxuan hugged her little waist, and said with an innocent smile: "The reason is very simple, I haven't drunk Xianggui wine for a long time, so I have become thinner, so I came to see you at the screen door, Linlin, Yu Linglong and I have come all the way from Honggang, and you still don't have good wine and good food?" I seem to smell the smell of Xianggui wine. ”

After Xia Lin patted Lin Haoxuan's hand, she walked in front of Yu Linglong with a chuckle, the two smart women will not have friction, they will only give birth to sympathy, Xia Lin took Yu Linglong's hand and sighed softly: "Yu Linglong, I have worked hard for you, let you follow Qi Shao to life and death, there is no more red face in the world." ”

Yu Linglong naturally knew about Charlene's past, and the melancholy between her eyebrows made her heart a little more pity.

When he killed Wang Jinbo, although Lin Haoxuan deceived Xia Lin with a dream, he always felt pain in his heart.

It's still the original style, upstairs is Charlene's snail's house, sitting down in the small living room, Lin Haoxuan just lay on the sofa, reliving the feeling of the past, stretching his waist and saying lightly: "Boss, hurry up and drink, I'm in a good mood now and need to borrow wine to talk." ”

Charlene chuckled helplessly, but she also happily served two pots of Xianggui wine.

After warming it with hot water for a while, the lid was opened and poured down, and the aroma of wine overflowed.

Lin Haoxuan took the long-lost Xianggui wine, shook it, closed his eyes and tasted it lightly, and sighed: "Good wine." ”

Xia Lin made a few more delicate snacks with her own hands, Lin Haoxuan picked up the golden cake and put it in his mouth, and then chatted slowly with Xia Lin, and the faint aroma of wine filled the living room in the air.

Charlene talked about her experience lightly: "I only come to work in the tavern on weekends, and I usually leave it to others to take care of, I still major in law, and after graduation, I want to become a prosecutor or judge, and I want to inherit my father's wish before his death and create a fair and just social environment." ”

Lin Haoxuan nodded and sighed softly.

Xia Lin knew that Lin Haoxuan felt a little guilty in his heart, and comforted him with a smile: "Haoxuan, you don't have to worry, I have a goal to strive for now, and I have less time to think nonsense, and I have already booked a tour group, and I will go abroad for a few days during the winter vacation. ”

Lin Haoxuan understood what she meant, the Spring Festival is always easy to evoke sad things.

Yu Linglong held the warm Xianggui wine and asked casually, "Where is Linlin going to play?" ”

Charlene stretched out her hand to pour a full bottle of wine for Lin Haoxuan, and responded with a smile: "Philip and Seoul." ”

Lin Haoxuan took two sips of Xianggui wine, took out a check from his arms and handed it to her: "Linlin, don't refuse, it's a little bit of my heart, you must know that your happiness is my greatest happiness, not to mention these two million, even two hundred billion can make you carefree, and I am willing." ”

Charlene sighed softly and nodded her head to accept it.

At that moment, there was a loud bang at the door, as heavy as the impact of a train.

Immediately, the drink came out: "Is the boss lady there?" ”

Charlene frowned slightly, her eyes flashing with helplessness and anger.

The people of the Green Gang, the people who collect protection money.

Charlene shook her head and sighed, always thinking that there was a clean place in the world, who knew that the road was inseparable, interests, two words, and the people who collected protection money from the wine shop were even more scoundrels, and the surrounding shops were handed in every month, only Charlene needed to deal with every once in a while, disgusted but helpless.

Lin Haoxuan didn't think too much about it, and judged that the person who received the protection money had bad intentions.

Of course, he didn't find out about Charlene's relationship with him, but coveted Charlene's beauty, from the rough and stern voice of the person who shouted, and the rampant kicking of the wooden door, and more importantly, Charlene's idea, Lin Haoxuan sentenced him to death in his heart.

Raising his head and drinking the Xianggui wine in the cup, Lin Haoxuan stood up and clapped his hands and said, "Linlin, I'll help you send them away, how can I let you swallow such a bad anger?" ”

Xia Lin shook her head lightly, waved her hand to stop Lin Haoxuan and said: "Brother, don't be impulsive, this is the territory of the Qing Gang, if they know that you are in the screen door, or know that I have a relationship with you, not only will it be difficult to protect the wine shop, but even you and Yu Linglong will also be attacked by them, and I can lose my peaceful life."

But you don't want to be hurt! ”

The murderous intent in Lin Haoxuan's eyes passed away in an instant, yes, although he was not afraid of the Green Gang, and he could even turn the screen door upside down and go away, but what will Charlene do in the future? They still have to study and live here, and it is difficult for them to leave other cities because of their own impulses.

After pouring the wine again, Charlene had already gone downstairs to settle the matter.

Lin Haoxuan's heart did not calm down with Xianggui wine, and even a little more wordlessly hot, so he got up and walked downstairs, Yu Linglong also followed closely, in addition to protecting his safety, he also wanted to stop his impulse at the appropriate time, after all, Lin Haoxuan would never let Charlene be bullied.

In the hall of the wine shop, there were four men dressed in black sitting on the sofa by the door, and there were one of the few Angxing foreign wines in the tavern on the coffee table, and the eyes were condescending like an emperor looking at the territory, after looking around, five eyes fell on Xia Lin, who was two steps away, and her condescending gaze instantly became obscene and greedy.

Xia Lin raised a calm smile on her face, and asked the middle man without humility or arrogance: "Boss Gao, why do you have to pay another 2,000 yuan after paying the protection fee eight days ago?" The tavern is a small business, and the profits are thin, so if you toss it like this, it is estimated that it will close down at the end of the month."

Lin Haoxuan slowly leaned forward, his eyes fell on the tall boss, his eyes and ears were very thin, and his lips and face looked fat, although he looked like a tiger with a bear's waist, but his crowded facial features made him funny, and Lin Haoxuan's anger disappeared a lot in an instant.

The man on the side whistled, and when he heard Xia Lin's question, he replied with a smile: "Boss, don't you know, tomorrow is our boss's birthday, and it costs a lot of money to hold a banquet and invite people to dinner, and our brother has never had any money to spare, so I can only ask you to help me temporarily." ”

Boss Gao didn't see Lin Haoxuan coming, his eyes swept Xia Lin's chest unscrupulously, and responded with a meaningful smile: "Boss, if the tavern can't survive, let it go out of business, anyway, you can't make a lot of money, it's better to follow me Boss Gao, I promise you to eat and drink spicy food." ”

Charlene had already seen this kind of scene, so she didn't have the slightest momentum, and still said without authority: "I have always believed that my hands can support myself, so those things that climb high have never been in my principles, Boss Gao, what do you mean by collecting protection money every now and then?" ”

Gao Laodawang had just drunk a few glasses of spirits, and his interest surged into his head, so he couldn't hide his mouth and forced his heart: "Actually, your little protection money is not in my eyes at all, and the reason why I often come to the wine shop is not because I want to meet you, a beautiful proprietress lady, otherwise I wouldn't be too lazy to come here." ”

The man on his right echoed and shouted: "Boss, don't pretend to be innocent, make a price, we have collected 40,000 yuan from you in the past two months, as long as you serve us well, all the money will be returned, and the tavern will never be charged in the future, and no one will dare to bully you." ”

The man on the left touched his head and laughed very manly, "This is a bit interesting, we used the money given by the boss's wife, and then came to prostitute her, the 40,000 yuan turned around, and finally returned to the boss's wife, but there were two transactions." ”

Boss Gao raised his head and scolded, "Why is it so complicated?" ”

If it was so dark and unbearable, not only Lin Haoxuan's fists gradually clenched, but Xia Lin, who was well-cultivated, couldn't hold it back, turned her head and ordered the tavern girl: "Lili, take two dry yuan to Shi Ye, congratulate him on his longevity than Nanshan, as blessed as the East China Sea, by the way, send me a guest, the tavern is not open today." ”

The tavern girl hurriedly took out two dry dollars from the bar and giggled in front of the tall boss.

Boss Gao came up with alcohol, waved off the two thousand yuan that Lili was holding, and hummed softly: "You actually played serious with me, tell me, I'm in a bad mood now, two thousand yuan is not enough, we now want 50,000 yuan for birthday money, if not, you can use the gold bars in your wine cabinet to offset it." ”

Charlene frowned, 50,000 yuan? It was simply a lion who opened his mouth, and then heard that he wanted to use gold bars to offset the number by himself, and he was even more angry, it was the treasure of the town store that he spent seventy or eighty thousand yuan to cast, and he could also use the gold to add color to the wine bottle when he put it in the wine cabinet.

Seeing that Xia Lin didn't speak, Boss Gao knew that she was in conflict, so he didn't give her a chance to Siwan, turned his head and shouted: "The boss can't satisfy us, then smash the tavern for me, when will I give 50,000 yuan of protection money, and then let them operate normally, brothers, do it"

A few men were about to rush up,

Xia Lin made a choice in an instant, the gold bar tavern was smashed, which would not only damage the reputation of the tavern, but also involve Lin Haoxuan in the trouble, so she decided to calm the matter, and waved her hand to stop: "Boss Gao, the gold bar will give you a birthday celebration, but please don't harass our tavern again in the future!" ”

Boss Gao showed a triumphant smile, although he didn't get Charlene's person, but it was not bad to be able to get the gold bars in the town store of the Duchou wine shop, and it was not bad to give it to the boss as a gift, or it was not bad to sell it, looking up at Lili who went to get the gold bars, and seeing their angry and helpless expressions was even more quietly happy.

Lili took the gold bar, and when she was about to hand it to Boss Gao, a slender and steady hand grabbed her wrist, and then gently took the gold bar from her palm.

She looked up in surprise and saw that it was the young man who had hugged Charlene tightly in the morning, and he was playing with gold bars at this time, staring at Boss Gao playfully.

Charlene shook her head with a wry smile and sighed softly.
