delayed love

Chapter 173 Backstab
"I went to Dilly's this morning and didn't see you."

"I was at the hotel in the morning. I heard they said you were here. Didn't you come here specially?" The man blinked at her and smiled seductively.

Lin Xi took the peaches he handed over and introduced them to the crowd behind him, "This is my brother from university. After graduation, he went to work in Dili. He is currently the main force of Dili's R&D department——levi."

Levi greeted everyone, then turned around and whispered to Lin Xi, "Did Abby invite you tonight?"

The Abby he said was the manager Lin Xi met in the morning.

"Yes." Lin Xi realized, "I invited you too?"

"Of course, I was caught by her when I was passing by just now, so it's hard to refuse."

Coincidentally, both of them were recruited by Abby. The difference is that Levi moved to Dili in China after working for a year, and Lin Xi switched jobs before she had time to join the job.

Abby can be regarded as the bole of the two of them.

"This kind of party is the most annoying." Levi sighed, and suddenly smiled when he looked at her the next second, "But if you are here, then I can feel a little better."

"I don't know what time it will end tonight. There is still a lot of work to go back."

"You don't know, when I was working with her, she often took me to drink, and I drank until the wee hours of the morning."

Lin Xi stood by his side, avoiding the crowds coming and going, and shook her head helplessly when she heard the words, "It's okay, it's okay. Abby just likes parties, so just find a reason to leave earlier."

Levi asked her, "Which hotel are you staying in? I'll see if it's on the way, and we'll come back together."

"It's just across the street. We live relatively close."

"Ah, that's not the way." Levi: "But I should be a bit of a gentleman, and I have to take you back even if I take a detour. I can't let you go home alone in the middle of the night, a girl."

"Let's see." Lin Xi patted his arm, with a half-smile: "Maybe you can't find your way after drinking too much at night, and you still have to ask me to give it to you."

She knows how bad her senior brother is at drinking.

When they were in school, there were activities in their club, and every time the party ended, her senior brother would definitely be carried back.

Speaking of drinking capacity, it's not as good as her.

Hearing her words, Levi choked, and seemed to recall the past, and touched his nose in embarrassment.

In the evening, the two went to the restaurant together on the way from the exhibition.

Abby left early in the afternoon and only left them a restaurant address.

"I asked you back then, would you like to come back to China and come to our Dili. You said you didn't want to go back to China, so you followed my introduction and went to Abby's place. Why did you play backstab later on?"

This foreigner is terrible, he can even use the word "backstab".

The two had contacted once before, but Levi politely didn't ask about it, after all, they hadn't contacted for a long time.

Now that he is familiar with him again, of course Levi wants to gossip.

"I heard that you are very familiar with the CEO of Feiyun?"

"It's my brother, the one who grew up together." It was the same question again, and Lin Xi answered it again patiently.

After listening to her explanation, Levi suddenly understood.

"I thought it was your boyfriend."

"Why?" Lin Xi raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't someone talk about you on the forum some time ago? That person said that you had something to do with President Feiyun, so I thought you were boyfriend and girlfriend."

Lin Xi shook her head lightly, "We are either brothers or sisters."

Afraid of Levi's misunderstanding, Lin Xi specifically explained: "I have someone I like."

"Ah, I heard that too!"

Lin Xi was stunned, "...this one too?"

"That's right. That's why I thought the person you liked was the CEO of Feiyun."

"..." Lin Xi was indeed shocked.

The restaurant is not too far from the exhibition, and the two of them took a taxi, and it was only ten minutes away.

Before entering the door, Lin Xi was mentally prepared, but when she saw a room full of people, the corner of her mouth still couldn't help twitching violently.

"Wow." Levi was also surprised, "I guessed there would be a lot of people, but I didn't expect there to be so many. It's really Abby, a social expert."

Almost all the people here are familiar faces, because they are all representatives of the company team participating in the exhibition today.In the morning, Lin Xi said hello.

Lin Xi and his senior brother sat down next to each other.

The two of them just came for a cutscene, so they specially sat a little far away, so that they can easily run away at any time.

Levi dug into his backpack and handed her a box of hangover pills.

Lin Xi felt that there was no need to eat.

"Just eat it yourself."

Levi had a sad expression that you don't believe me, "You haven't had dinner with Abby, you don't understand. Eat two in advance, so you won't be too uncomfortable if you vomit later."

With that said, he pushed the hangover medicine in front of her again.

"Just listen to me!"

"Abby is the devil! When I was working, there were so many people in a department, no one could drink her!"

Lin Xi: "..."

Lin Xi also listened to persuasion, and finally ate a few.

If she was in China, she would really not be afraid of getting drunk.Because there are not many occasions where she can get drunk, [-]% of her acquaintances will be there, and she is not afraid that no one will care about her.

But abroad, that's another story.

The only acquaintance she thinks is reliable is Levi, but the other party will definitely fall before her...

At that time, who will take care of whom may not be known.

She would rather pin her hopes on these few anti-alcoholic medicines than on her wronged senior brother.

Abby was 10 minutes late, apologized to everyone as soon as she entered the door, and then punished herself with three drinks.

Levi's head hurt from seeing it, and he quietly complained to Lin Xi: "As expected of being Chinese, you all drink so hard."

Lin Xi: "Then I may be an exception."

"Please, you can drink well."

"When I was in college, I couldn't do it after drinking three glasses. You're going to drink a bottle before pouring it down."

Levi said again: "If I die in a while, you remember to help me block it."

Lin Xi looked surprised, "...Are you sure it's me?"

Levi thought about it and forgot it. "Then remember to call me a car."

Abby was too fierce, after one round, Levi couldn't hold it anymore.

"I hate drinking with you the most. I drink a little every time, and you all just toast. It makes me... oops."

Lin Xi saw that his face was flushed, and he was already a little bit drunk, so she gave him a trick, "Actually, you can pour it out secretly."

"!" Levi's eyes lit up, "Yes?"

"Yes." Lin Xi nodded, and handed him two tricks by the way.

This is what she learned from Chen Gong and the others.

But no tricks could prevent Abby, and any tricks were so vulnerable to absolute power.

Levi was killed first, followed by Lin Xi, not surprisingly.

Relying on the last trace of sobriety, Lin Xi sent Levi back to the hotel, and then went back.Early in the morning, she asked her uncle's driver to wait outside, and because her own driver was there, Lin Xi fell asleep peacefully as soon as she got in the car.

When he was drowsy, the phone on the side suddenly rang.
