Chapter 62 Angelica

In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Xian came to the Donghai Linhu Villa area at the time agreed with Ji Lin.

After getting off the bus at the entrance of the villa area, Lin Xian walked inside on foot.

The internal road was indeed very wide, and it was no different from when he came before. He noticed that the road in front of Ji Lin's villa was the widest and straightest, and it was indeed suitable for sports cars.

Because it is an internal main road, there are relatively many manhole covers and they are relatively concentrated. There are two manhole covers on both sides of the door of Jilin Villa, about ten meters apart.

Manhole covers are very common in urban areas.

During urban construction, there will be many underground pipelines, such as sewers, underground gas pipelines, water pipelines, power pipelines, communication pipelines, etc... And on the sections where these pipelines pass, a manhole will be built at intervals to facilitate subsequent maintenance and repair.

But in areas like this where residential areas are concentrated, most of the manholes on the roads are sewers or sewage wells. The wide roads are very suitable for large-scale fecal suction trucks to come for regular desilting.

This is the same whether it is a villa area or a general community.

When it comes to eating, drinking and defecating, all living beings are equal. No matter how high-end the community is, as long as the sewage wells are not regularly cleared with fecal suction trucks, they will become clogged sooner or later.

Lin Xian walked slowly, staring at the manhole covers in the "just right" position, chuckled inwardly, and looked away.

Arriving at the door of Ji Lin's villa, Lin Xian pressed the doorbell.

"welcome."

Ji Lin quickly opened the door and looked at Lin Xian standing at the door with a smile:

"Come on in, it's a big help having you here."

He pulled Lin Xian into the room.

The living room was fairly neat and tidy, but it was most likely not done by Ji Lin. A rich man like him must have a nanny or a housekeeper... Otherwise, given Ji Lin's ability to take care of himself, he would probably starve to death.

At this time, there are various latte art decorations, colorful props, large and small balloons that have not been blown up, etc. on the floor of the living room...

"Are you going to turn your home into a playground?"

Lin Xian looked at him doubtfully:

"Isn't it a bit too much to have such a big fight at the birthday party?"

"It doesn't matter, it's better than not having enough."

Ji Lin didn't care much about this.

No matter, he is not short of money anyway.

Lin Xian glanced at this villa with large floor-to-ceiling windows. It was decorated in extremely luxurious Nordic style and had a fireplace whose ornamental value was greater than its practical value.

"I usually like to sit here."

Ji Lin pointed to a spot on the wooden floor:

"Usually, this living room is filled with all kinds of books, newspapers and the like. I like books very much. Sometimes sleeping among the books makes me feel more at ease than sleeping on the bed."

"That's my bedroom." Ji Lin pointed to a room on the opposite side of the first floor:

"Normal bedrooms are on the second floor, but I'm too lazy to go upstairs. I've basically never been to the entire second floor. It's more convenient to sleep on the first floor."

Under the leadership of Ji Lin, Lin Xian walked into the bedroom with him.

Although this bedroom is not small, it is obviously not worthy of this villa. It should be that as Ji Lin said, this bedroom was converted from other rooms on the first floor, and the normal bedrooms are on the second floor.

However, the layout in the bedroom is too simple. Apart from a table, a bed, and a separate bathroom, there is almost no other furniture.

"It fits my stereotype of you very well." Lin Xian couldn't help but complain.

He walked over to the desk, where two picture frames were placed.

Pick up one of these…

It looks a lot like a group photo of a family of three, with mom and dad standing in the back and a little boy standing in the front.

But Lin Xian soon understood that this was not a photo of a family of three, because he saw an acquaintance——

Xu Yun.

The man standing to the right behind this photo is Xu Yun in his youth. Lin Xian in the East China Sea

I saw Xu Yun's young appearance in the college graduation photo album, and he looked exactly the same as he does now in the photo frame.

It seems that Xu Yun's life was indeed very happy in those years, and he looked so young and cheerful.

It goes without saying that the woman standing next to Xu Yun who looks both beautiful and virtuous must be Xu Yun's wife.

Xu Yun's wife has many identities. She is Ji Lin's sister, Ji Xinshui's niece, and Xu Yiyi's mother.

The rest of the kids were even better at guessing.

The little boy wearing a suit and tie was naturally Ji Lin when he was a child.

Ji Lin in the photo looks to be only four or five years old.

This photo should have been taken when Xu Yun and Ji Xinshui still had a very good relationship, and they often sent gifts and books to Ji Lin.

This was a happy time for the three of them alone.

good.

But short-lived.

Lin Xian held the photo frame, pointed at the little boy on it, and looked back at Ji Lin:

"If I guessed correctly, this should be a family photo of you and Zeng Xuyun's family?"

Ji Lin nodded:

"Yes, we had a good relationship at that time."

Lin Xian looked into his eyes:

"Xu Yun died so tragically and left behind a daughter in a vegetative state... Do you feel sad about his death?"

"It will definitely be sad." Ji Lin nodded:

"After all, Xu Yun is my first friend in life, and I like him very much."

clatter.

Lin Xian put down this photo frame and picked up another photo frame on the table.

There is also a group photo in this photo frame, but in terms of atmosphere and atmosphere, it is much more serious than the family photo just now.

This is a group photo of three people, an old man and two children, a boy and a girl.

The old man in the photo has white hair on his temples and dry skin. He is dressed in black and wearing a black woolen felt hat. His eyes are sharp and cold, and he is sitting on a chair.

This face...

Ji Xinshui.

Lin Xian had seen many photos of him in the news. His facial features and figure were very recognizable, much like those serious aristocratic gentlemen in old Western movies.

To Ji Xinshui's left and right, stood two children, a boy and a girl.

The boys and girls are about five or six years old. The boy on the left is Ji Lin. He is a bit older and taller than in the photo with Xu Yun just now, but his general appearance has not changed. His hair is also longer and covered with Eyebrow.

She is young, but has a kind of handsome beauty.

When Ji Lin was a child, his looks were even better than they are now, and he could have gone directly to Hollywood to become a child star.

And his eyes turned to the little girl standing in the lower right corner of the photo...

Lin Xian seemed to have seen the elf princess in the forest.

This little girl is a foreigner, and she does not look like she is of pure Western descent, but more like a face unique to the Middle East.

With exquisite facial features, angular face, and tall figure, she is a beauty at first glance.

She looked a few years older than Ji Lin at that time, and she was nearly a head taller than Ji Lin in the photo; but girls always grow up earlier than boys, not to mention those of foreign origin, with such a height The gap is not surprising.

"Who is this?"

Lin Xian pointed to the beautiful little girl in the photo and asked Ji Lin:

"Is this your sister too? I seem to have never heard you mention her."

"Angelica]."

Ji Lin said softly:

"She is also one of the orphans adopted by Ji Xinshui. We grew up together. Lin Xian, you usually like watching movies so much, you should be familiar with her."

Angelica?

Lin Xian began to compare the actors in the movie in his mind...

A similar face was matched instantly!

"Anjelica...is she that Hollywood actress?"

Ji Lin nodded

.

"I remembered that your adaptation of the movie "Broken Bridge" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture, you were nominated for Best Screenplay, and there was also a Best Actress nomination for this Angelica... It turns out you are A family."

Ji Lin nodded again:

"Yes, that's her. We grew up together in Ji Xinshui's orphanage. Later, when I was three or four years old, Angelica and I were taken in by Ji Xinshui to live with us."

"You told me this before."

Lin Xian recalled the previous conversation between the two in the dormitory:

"You told me at the time that Ji Xinshui would bring those smart children to his side to raise. You must have a high IQ... But this Angelica, why was she raised by Ji Xinshui? It can't be Is it because of your natural beauty?”

"Of course not."

Ji Lin lowered his head and smiled, took the photo frame from Lin Xian's hand, and looked at the girl as beautiful as an elf in the group photo:

"Angelica is also very smart."

He raised his head and looked at Lin Xian:

"Lin Xian, in a place as complex as Hollywood, not everyone can get along. Angelica is great in many ways, even in terms of mobility... I have never seen a woman stronger than her. Her mobility is really strong, it feels like..."

Ji Lin blinked:

"It feels almost the same as you."

"I?"

"Yes." Ji Lin put the photo frame on the table and continued:

"You are also very capable of action. For example, when you drove alone to chase the murderer...if it hadn't been for the sudden explosion of the bomb, would you have planned to use your sports car to force the taxi to stop? Or knock the taxi over?"

"It's possible."

Lin Xian did not deny that he had actually planned to knock over the taxi with the intention of damaging Zhao Yingjun's Ferrari when necessary.

The Ferrari chassis has a low center of gravity. As long as you find the right angle and cooperate with the centrifugal force, it will be easy to knock over the taxi.

However, before the time came, the taxi exploded.

"That's the kind of person Angelica is, and she can do this kind of thing."

"Are you talking about the movie?" Lin Xian asked.

Ji Lin shook his head and smiled meaningfully:

"In reality, she's pretty much the same."

…

Afterwards, Lin Xian and Ji Lin walked out of the bedroom and began to decorate the living room.

Nowadays, there is really everything available on online shopping platforms, and these decorations are designed to be convenient and fool-proof to install. Basically, you just need to take them apart, pull them apart, stick them on, and then you are done.

Convenient and efficient.

Therefore, it took more than an hour for Lin Xian and Ji Lin to decorate the living room together.

As soon as this decoration is in place, the atmosphere of the entire living room instantly rises.

Become festive and heartwarming.

Lin Xian noticed that Ji Lin not only bought a lot of decorations online, but also bought a lot of table games and funny toys.

"You are really attentive..."

Lin Xian sighed:

"You have done a lot of homework for this birthday, right?"

"I did read a lot of guides online." Ji Lin answered truthfully:

"They all said that after the birthday party, you can play these tabletop games. Didn't they play these at Chu Anqing's birthday party that day? I think it's quite interesting."

"I guess it's because you don't play them often."

Lin Xian smiled helplessly:

"In fact, we have played these games hundreds of times. We played them when we were in school. But it's true that it's more fun with more people, so it's okay to play games."

"Speaking of more people, Lin Xian, I really have something to tell you."

Ji Lin neatly stacked the various games on the ground, moved them to the table, and then turned to look at Lin Xian:

"You know, I don't have many friends, and I can't invite many people to my birthday party like Chu Anqing... So if you have any friends, why not bring them over to play together."?

Let yourself bring friends over to play?

As for me, Gao Yang is the only friend in the whole East China Sea, and Ji Lin doesn't know him either...

"Didn't Chu Anqing's classmates say they would come?"

"There aren't many of them, and they're all girls..."

"I see."

Lin Xian suddenly thought of someone and smiled at Ji Lin:

"I do have a high school classmate in East China Sea, how about I ask him to attend your birthday party?"

"Of course." Ji Lin smiled:

"The house is so big, it will be more lively with more people. I don't want my birthday party to be too lonely, that would be embarrassing. Can your classmate come?"

"Let me ask."

Lin Xian took out his cell phone, still looking at Ji Lin:

"You should be familiar with the name of my classmate."

"Oh? Who is it?"

Ji Lin came over, and Lin Xian showed him the name card in the phone's address book that had not yet been played, stared into his eyes carefully, and said word by word:

"Zhou, Duan, Yun."
