57. Lin Xun
Fifteen minutes later, Chen Yekai, Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao were filled with food in front of the garden lobby of the five-star hotel.
Yu Hao: "There are so much breakfast!"
Zhou Sheng: "I'm buying 168 per person, eat it, don't be polite, and be generous to others."
Yu Hao: "You still remember."
Chen Yekai only took a cup of coffee, looked down at the phone quietly. Yu Hao knew that he was reading Long Sheng’s letter. Finally, Chen Yekai put down his phone, rubbed his face, and finally became more energetic.
"I'm sorry." Chen Yekai said, "It's all me who have caused you such a big trouble."
Zhou Sheng said casually: "We made a mistake by ourselves, so it's not your fault."
This was the most serious and outrageous mistake in Zhou Sheng's history. He and Yu Hao had never expected that Lin Xun was so powerful in Chen Yekai's dream that it was until it obscured the sun in his consciousness world. In the end, he was almost killed by Lin Xun. Fortunately, the three of them worked together in the end and broke through the layers of siege. But this also added a very real case to the two.
"Remember now." Zhou Sheng said to Yu Hao, "My parents' dreams are nothing."
"Yes!" Yu Hao came to his senses and compared with Chen Yekai, Chichen Itza, Shi Ni's lighthouse and the Great Wall, all of which have become a teaching model for novices.
"The future is full of things." Chen Yekai looked out of the restaurant floor-to-ceiling window, and said, "But I have been reborn. Even if I am locked in the husk, I still think I am the king of the infinite universe."
Yu Hao laughed and Zhou Sheng said, "Think about what to do next? My cycling competition qualification has not yet been settled."
Chen Yekai was excited, took out his cell phone and said, "Please wrap it with me, what do you... need me to do, just give me instructions?"
"You don't have to do anything," Zhou Sheng said, "Just answer a few questions from me. From the first day we met, you have always been obliged to help us. Don't be dismissed."
"I know." Chen Yekai's mouth curled slightly and said in a daze, "Okay, don't see anything."
Zhou Sheng signaled to Yu Hao, meaning that what are you going to ask, please ask first?
Yu Hao and other waiters collected the plate, took a sip of coffee, thought for a while, and said, "I have nothing to ask, but I think Longsheng has something to tell you."
Chen Yekai's eyebrows slightly raised, and Zhou Sheng said, "I think Longsheng's words, either you can tell me privately if you are empty."
Chen Yekai suddenly said, "Okay, I want to explain something clearly to Yu Hao."
"Yes." Zhou Sheng replied with satisfaction.
Yu Hao: "???"
Yu Hao always felt that there was something wrong between the two, which he didn't understand. He threw a look at Zhou Sheng with "What do you mean?", but Zhou Sheng didn't look at him. He raised his chair and pressed his fingers on the dining table, knocking casually, his eyebrows locked deeply.
"Then, Zhou Sheng, what do you want to ask?" Chen Yekai said.
"I'm thinking about how to express my questions." Zhou Sheng said, "A lot of things have been sorted out before, but Kaikai, do you have anything else to apologize? Apart from being psychologically intervened by Lin Xun."
Yu Hao: "???"
"Yes." Chen Yekai nodded, "Lin Xun's psychological intervention in me has indeed greatly affected me, which made me... make many wrong decisions. Let's start from scratch, including some of the things we talked about... I think this will make you clearer, and the matter is coming... I think about it, during the time when I decided to return to China, Teacher Lin... Lin Xun's marriage with Teacher Liang has always had very serious problems."
Chen Yekai met Lin Xun. When he first went to New York to go to school, he introduced it through a friend of his father, and the general idea was to take care of him on his behalf. Soon, the professor and his wife became more and more fond of Chen Yekai. After all, among the younger generations, Chen Yekai is quite excellent.
Chen Yekai also gradually learned about their family through contact with Lin Xun and his wife. Lin Xun was born in a relatively poor family in China. He fell in love with Liang Jinmin in college. Liang Jinmin was fascinated by his talent and confidence. After marriage, he invested in Lin Xun to go abroad for research, and left his hometown and went to New York to live together. In the local Chinese circle, Lin Xun and his wife have always shown themselves as loving couples.
But only Chen Yekai knew that Lin Xun's cheating was quite serious in private and had a quarrel with Liang Jinmin. Lin Xun's hobbies were very strange, and he liked to develop relationships with married women very much.
"He harassed a female student?" Zhou Sheng said in disbelief.
"No." Chen Yekai said, "The situation is even more serious."
Lin Xun is very smart and will be complained about harassing students. His affair is the wives of young teaching assistants, lecturers or graduate students in the academic circle. These young people traveled across the ocean to New York, settled down and applied to the US authorities for family reunion and took their wives from China. During the period of applying for a green card or holding a green card, Lin Xun took advantage of the opportunity and took advantage of the situation. After finding a partner for an affair, he began an extramarital affair.
Yu Hao was completely stunned.
"This..." Yu Hao couldn't believe it, saying, "Will other couples beat him to death?"
"It depends on his methods." Chen Yekai said helplessly, "Don't forget what he learned."
Extramarital affair is originally a willingness to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. Lin Xun has both relationships and means, and the partner he is looking for is very accurate. He specializes in choosing the wives of male scholars who are not very clean in his family. Some of these male scholars have summoned prostitutes in the United States, while others have had scandals with students.
As a gentle man in his fifties who was well maintained, Lin Xun almost aims at their wives.
Those young people themselves either have emotional stains, such as having their legs slashed while living alone in the United States, or they dare not offend Lin Xun... In the end, after Lin Xun had an extramarital affair, the other party did not dare to reveal it because if an extramarital affair occurred during the application for reunion, the Immigration Bureau would doubt the true existence of the marriage and would likely leave evidence in the approval of immigration procedures.
Liang Jinmin was very angry about this and had several very serious conflicts with Lin Xun. It was at that time that Chen Yekai discovered Lin Xun's domestic violence against Liang Jinmin.
Chen Yekai was a little confused. After all, in his original family, his parents respect each other and never speak loudly. When he saw Liang Jinmin being abused by Lin Xun, he left a deep impression on him.
His first thought was to call the police decisively, but was stopped by Liang Jinmin. Later, Liang Jinmin talked to him countless times and begged him not to call the police. After all, domestic violence is very serious in the United States, and Lin Xun will definitely be arrested. Later, Lin Xun knelt down to Liang Jinmin to apologize, and received Liang Jinmin's forgiveness.
"Why didn't she get divorced?" Yu Hao said in disbelief.
"I won't get a divorce." Zhou Sheng took out the cigarette box and lit a cigarette.
Chen Yekai said: "I have asked the same questions as you, and Teacher Liang always loves him."
Zhou Sheng sneered, and Chen Yekai said, "Give me one."
Zhou Sheng lit a cigarette for Chen Yekai, and Chen Yekai said to Yu Hao: "I rarely smoke, let me smoke one."
Under Yu Hao's supervision, Zhou Sheng has been pumping very few times now, only two or three times a day.
"For a long time later," Chen Yekai said, "It has never happened again..."
In the following years, Chen Yekai was always alert to Liang Jinmin's situation, and Lin Xun almost never took action. However, Chen Yekai still suspected that Lin Xun would occasionally slap Liang Jinmin or abuse her without leaving any trace. However, the person involved Liang Jinmin was unwilling to give up this relationship, and Chen Yekai could not help even if he was willing.
At that time, Chen Yekai's mood was very complicated. Lin Xun not only supported him and treated him as his son, but also had a rather dark side in his personality...
"You don't understand that feeling." Chen Yekai said.
"I understand." Zhou Sheng replied, "It's like your dad hitting your mom all day long, but when he faces you, you can feel that he cares about you very much."
Chen Yekai said helplessly: "Yes, in addition to this, there is also my personality cult of him. He is very knowledgeable, very...serious, has knowledge and professional qualities, but has abandoned morality, and is simply a devil."
Lin Xun taught Chen Yekai too much. In addition to professionalism, there are also principles of being a human being and life, including feelings, friends, society, family, etc., which Chen Yekai had never learned from his father who was a lawyer. After all, lawyers only have rules in their eyes, and society is like a ruthless big machine.
Lin Xun's humanity on the other side was always shining, which made Chen Yekai convinced professionally, but also made him angry morally. Fortunately, Chen Yekai did not receive news about Lin Xun's extramarital affair again, and after a period of stability, the Longsheng incident finally broke out.
Lin Xun still tried his best in this incident. Even though he tried his best to persuade Chen Yekai, he finally respected his decision.
"I am very grateful to Teacher Lin in this matter," said Chen Yekai. "I didn't even notice that there was anything abnormal."
"Later you graduated." Yu Hao said.
"Yes." Chen Yekai nodded.
After graduating from the master's degree, Chen Yekai had a full year of life and lived a dazed life. He tried to work and use his busyness to treat himself, but the pressure almost crushed him. Liang Jinmin persuaded him to go back to Brother University for help, so Chen Yekai went back occasionally and ran back and forth between the company and the university.
Over the years, the conflict between Liang Jinmin and Lin Xun escalated again, but there was no domestic violence. Lin Xun cheated on the wife of a young lecturer. This time the matter was a bit big, and Liang Jinmin finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to divorce Lin Xun. The two of them were in a mess. The cheating partner began to threaten them, wanting to expose Lin Xun's dirty things and sue him.
Lin Xun begged Liang Jinmin for forgiveness. After the two negotiated, Liang Jinmin hoped that Lin Xun would return to China, bid farewell to this quagmire life, change the environment, and start over. It just so happened that Liang Jinmin's mother was old, and she also hoped that she could visit her mother more when she returned to China and stay with her sickbed. If Lin Xun was unwilling, then divorce.
In the end, Lin Xun surrendered and promised to treat his wife wholeheartedly from now on.
So that's it... Yu Hao finally understood.
Chen Yekai said: "Teacher Liang asked me if I want to come back or not. There is a very generous talent introduction plan in central China. A friend of theirs in the United States introduced Dean Ning to Teacher Lin. Ying City is very close to Teacher Liang's home. As a transfer student in high school, I studied in a neighboring city for a year. I thought, okay, I will go through the procedures and report to the college first. I thought not to get it too complicated as soon as I came up. I applied for a class teacher position, relax, prepare for the project, and study for a doctorate with Teacher Lin..."
"No wonder the dean is so polite to you," said Zhou Sheng.
"Because the college relies on an academic tycoon like Teacher Lin." Chen Yekai pressed the cigarette in the ashtray and said, "I am his most proud student. It's a dog who relies on his power. What is Xue Long? The Teaching Department and Youth League Committee must be polite to me, a class teacher."
Yu Hao was amused and crying, and Chen Yekai said: "But the status of my dog depends on the owner. Look, now that Teacher Lin is targeting me at the beginning, the dean will never protect me."
"Next is the climax of the story." Zhou Sheng said.
"Yeah." Chen Yekai said, "You can roughly guess from the past and the consequences."
Yu Hao asked: "Have he had an extramarital affair again after returning to China?"
"The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change." Chen Yekai said, "Yes."
Chen Yekai came to report first. After dealing with Yu Hao's affairs, Lin Xun and Liang Jinmin also returned to China on New Year's Day, but Lin Xun began to use the same trick again. This time the cheating partner was the wife of his high school classmate living in a neighboring city. They dated twice in private, and the second time they were discovered by Liang Jinmin. The couple quarreled again. Then Lin Xun began to perform a full martial arts show at home. In the past, many tricks were not used in the United States and would be arrested and jailed. No one cared about beating his wife in China. Even if they called the police, they would deal with it as a private matter in the family. After the police came, they would go back.
Lin Xun had been holding his anger in the United States for nearly ten years, and now he could do everything he could torture his wife.
"After hitting the master's wife," Chen Yekai said, "After a while, he slapped himself in the face, cried bitterly, and knelt down to the master's wife to apologize..."
Zhou Sheng couldn't believe it: "This person is so evil."
Yu Hao didn't quite understand what Zhou Sheng said, but Chen Yekai said: "Yes, you also feel that he is acting. His kneeling, crying, begging for forgiveness are all teasing his master's wife."
Yu Hao: "..."
Yu Hao felt that his whole life had been subverted. Chen Yekai said: "In my understanding of him, at that time he must have regarded this process as a game, a game of cat-catching rats. The teacher's wife was manipulated by him. Through his own performance, he got the teacher's wife's forgiveness, hit her again, begged her for forgiveness, and hit her again... infinite loop. Teacher Lin might think this is very interesting, only the devil... will do this."
Yu Hao suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart.
Chen Yekai said again: "I tried all the ways, there was only one way to divorce, but I had no evidence. I wanted to take my master's wife to test the injury, but my master's wife refused me. The client was unwilling to cooperate with me. I just hated myself for nothing. I turned to Huang Ting and made an appointment with my master's wife. But on the last day, my master's wife changed her mind and repeated... I can't let Lin Xun know about my private actions. He knows me too much. Sometimes, just a few conversations, he can guess what I was thinking."
"It's very difficult." Chen Yekai said, "But shortly after Yu Hao, you were on stage, your teacher's wife suddenly made an appointment with me."
"Me?" Yu Hao said blankly.
Chen Yekai nodded and said, "She said that the song and the singing you also reminded her of the former Longsheng and her days in the United States. We talked a lot that day, and inevitably talked about you... She didn't know why her life was like this. She forgives again and again, and was hurt again and again. She doesn't believe in the so-called fate, but she no longer has the courage to find any reason for her life. In short, she finally decided to divorce."
It will be very cumbersome to get divorced. In addition to divorce, Liang Jinmin has also decided not to let Lin Xun go on like this. Before meeting Chen Yekai, she found a way to collect evidence of Lin Xun's cheating.
As a result, by accident, Liang Jinmin discovered that through footprint records on her Apple account, Lin Xun had been to a cafe not far downstairs of Chen Yekai's house four years ago.
On that day, Liang Jinmin showed evidence to Chen Yekai one by one. When he mentioned this, Chen Yekai suddenly thought of for some reason that the three days before graduation defense, Long Sheng was diagnosed with depression and almost never left the house. That day, he went out abnormally and brought one to Chen Yekai when he came back...
"Napoleon cake." Yu Hao said.
"Yes." Chen Yekai said calmly, "I asked him where he went and who he met. He said he was just going to Central Park to bask in the sun. Teacher Liang asked me, did Lin Xun come downstairs to my house that day, did he look for me? Or did he make an appointment with someone else? I may not remember other days, but I remembered that day very deeply. Lin Xun was not in the laboratory. He must have made an appointment with Long Sheng. But afterwards, Long Sheng did not mention it to me."
