Capítulo 17: I CAME, I SAW, I MARRIED (PART 5)

Xue Lin thought about yesterday's incident. She didn't disrespect that family with the scoundrel young man. She splashed the water aiming her father. Nothing happened to that family. However, before she left…

"Mister, tell your father that I'm not interested in someone's command whom I never met before. If he has enough free time, tell him to play with dolls. Human beings have lots of things to do. They don't have time for his childish game. It's a nasty one too."

'…Is it because I called him 'mister' or is it because I mentioned his father inappropriately? I spoke truthfully though. However, whatever it is, it made that family angry. Maybe, it's the old guy…' Xue Lin shook her head. 'No, no, I shouldn't assume without evidence… sigh! It's easy to blame others though…'

A gentle breeze blew and rippled the calm river. The youthful green grass danced with the wind and emitted a wonderful smell of the wet soil. The river reflected the blue sky and white clouds. There was a boat not so far away. The boatman was catching fish with his iron rod. It was a wonderful place to relax. However, Xue Lin's head was brainstorming. She didn't have the mood to enjoy nature.

The more Xue Lin thought about the situation, the more she sank in the darkness.

"No! I can't think negatively. If I only think about the problem, I'll never find a way out but if I think of possibilities, I will find more opportunities." She told herself.

Xue Lin doesn't have a habit of asking for other's help if it's not that important. She is too embarrassed to ask for help. But this time, it's very important. And she needs someone powerful to help her.

Thinking about someone 'powerful', she first thought about Mu Lan. She immediately rejected the idea. 'No, I can't disturb my friends for something so personal. Moreover, I lost all of their numbers.'

"What can I do?" She again asked herself. She rubbed her head.

Growl~

Only then she remembered that she didn't have breakfast. 'Now I understand why I'm feeling dizzy.'

Usually, in the morning, she eats a lot. It gives her more energy this way. However, if she misses her breakfast, she feels weak.

I'm sorry. I gave you the wrong information. Previously, I said, "When one's heart, mind, and body are tired, sleeping is the best remedy." It's not completely true. The truth is, when one's heart, mind, and body are tired, sleeping and eating are the best remedies. After all, an empty stomach will always cry for food. If the body doesn't stay strong, the mind can't stay strong either.

Xue Lin stood up and wobbled on the way. She went to the nearest restaurant and ordered five people's meals. The waiter thought that some friends of hers would join later. But to his surprise, Xue Lin ate all by herself. She didn't waste a single drop of food since she hated wasting food.

After her stomach was filled with delicious Chinese breakfast, she burped and rubbed her stomach. The stomach was satisfied. It gave her body strength and helped her to think properly. She suddenly remembered that there was her mentor living in Beijing.

'If I had my previous mobile, I could at least call my boss… now I can only go to the office. I hope they didn't forget me. And I also hope that I can remember the way to the office. I can't seem to remember where it was.' She pondered deeply. Suddenly she thought of a way out. 'Am I becoming an idiot after living with my family for a few days? They are affecting my brain, I see. I have WeChat and I can contact my boss and others.'

As she thought, Xue Lin took out her cell phone and sent a text to her boss. She waited for thirty minutes but there was no reply. 'He must be busy or maybe he is in another country and sleeping at this moment. What to do?' She exhaled loudly. "Maybe I should visit the office and see for myself.'

She bought a lemonade on the way and took a cab. After she went to the office, she found out that the office was closed. 'Today isn't my day.'

Xue Lin didn't stay outside and went back to the hotel. She didn't want to think about it anymore. If she kept thinking about it, She wouldn't find any solution.

The more she will think about it, the more her mind will get messy.

That's why she diverted her attention to something else. She opened her laptop and started rechecking her thesis paper on Criminal Psychology.

Though she was studying Psychology in Germany, in the summer breaks, she admitted to the Department of Criminal Psychology. Since it wasn't her major subject, she couldn't help the police with the investigation as a practical test. However, her professor said that he would allow her if only she could write a thesis paper on Criminal Psychology.

Now that she has some time, she wants to finish her thesis, and then she will send it to the professor.
