Lin Rushuang had been with Li Wenyuan since she was eighteen. Due to an accident, her deaf ears regained hearing while saving him.
Excited, she prepared to tell him the news, only to find him...
Chapter 274: Learn from Him
He Tingchen raised his eyebrows awkwardly: "Do you really want to hear it?"
"Well, if it's inconvenient, you don't have to tell me."
Lin Rushuang respects He Tingchen very much, especially since his family situation is similar to that of most people, most of whom have had traumatic childhoods.
He Tingchen leaned back with his tall body, his fingers slightly curled. "I'm someone no one likes in my family. You know that in a big family, there can only be one person at the top, and who wouldn't want that to be their own child?"
"Unfortunately, no one else in the family is as capable as me, so my relatives naturally see me as a thorn in their side. The old man previously placed his hopes on my nephew, but my nephew is also not good at managing the company."
"He wanted me to inherit the family business, but he didn't want to reveal my identity."
When Lin Rushang heard this, she seemed to have grasped some important information.
"Reveal your identity?"
For the first time, Lin Rushang saw the complex and desolate emotions in He Tingchen's deep eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up in mockery.
"I am a bastard."
Lin Rushuang opened her mouth in surprise, but was afraid that she would scream out in shock, so she quickly reached out to cover her mouth.
He Tingchen was not at all surprised by Lin Rushuang's expression.
But Lin Rushang realized that she was probably too shocked and had hurt He Tingchen a little, so she quickly took her hand away and pretended nothing had happened.
"Sorry, my reaction just now might have been a bit exaggerated."
"That's normal."
He Tingchen looked calm, as if this kind of thing was very common to him.
But on second thought, Lin Rushuang felt that it was normal. He Tingchen grew up in such an environment since he was a child, and he had long been accustomed to those people gossiping and pointing fingers at him.
How many people's weird looks did I have to endure before I could adapt to what I am now?
Lin Rushang could understand He Tingchen's feelings at the moment very well, because after Lin Yuxi came back, she was also pointed at and talked about outside, no matter what the occasion.
There would always be people laughing at her, saying nasty things, and some even blamed themselves for Lin Yuxi's experience.
They said that she was a disaster star and was born to harm Lin Yuxi, otherwise Lin Yuxi should be the daughter of the Lin family. She had enjoyed the blessing of being the eldest daughter of the Lin family for so many years with the title of Lin Yuxi.
You should work like a slave for Lin Yuxi for the rest of your life.
Oh……
Those fallacies have accompanied her for many years, and even now there are still such remarks out there. Over time, she has become accustomed to it.
No one could understand He Tingchen's state of mind better than her.
She suddenly took the initiative to hug He Tingchen. Faced with the sudden hug, He Tingchen was a little caught off guard, and his usually calm pupils trembled at this moment.
His whole body was stiff. After a moment, the cold light in his eyes suddenly softened a little. He hugged Lin Rushang and leaned his head on her shoulder.
Lin Rushuang patted He Tingchen's back gently as if coaxing a child.
"I know that no one has ever hugged you like this in all these years, but it doesn't matter. You have me from now on."
"They care about you being an illegitimate child, but I don't care. I'm also my father's illegitimate daughter, so, He Tingchen, we are a perfect match."
He Tingchen's frozen heart seemed to hear the sound of ice cracking at this moment.
My eyes were inexplicably moist.
Seeing that He Tingchen didn't say anything, Lin Rushuang thought he was still sad and prepared to stand up and look at him.
He Tingchen hurriedly pressed her back towards him, his calm and restrained voice hinting at a moment of panic.
"Don't move."
Lin Rushuang really didn't move anymore, her hands were still frozen in mid-air.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister Lin, tell me, are you deliberately taking advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of me?"
When Lin Rushang heard his nonchalant words, she wanted to slap herself twice.
She knew that this man didn't deserve sympathy!
Lin Rushuang raised her hand and patted He Tingchen hard on the back.
"He Tingchen, you're really... hard to like. You're clearly upset, yet you try to act nonchalant. What's going on? Were you Iron Man in your previous life?"
"If I'm Iron Man, what are you, a female Iron Man?"
A low, hoarse laugh escaped He Tingchen's throat, his chest vibrating faintly, and Lin Rushang could feel his strong heartbeat.
Even through the fabric of his clothes, He Tingchen could feel the temperature of the man's body, as if it was about to burn him.
Lin Rushuang pinched He Tingchen in annoyance again.
"He Tingchen, you're a toxic person, aren't you? What's this female Iron Man?! Why don't you just call yourself Pig Man?"
"Well, the name Pigsy suits you better. You can eat and sleep all day."
He Tingchen has never lost to anyone with his mouth.
Lin Rushuang was so angry that she really wanted to slap him. She began to struggle and reached out to push him, but the man didn't move at all.
She grabbed his chest directly.
"hiss……"
He Tingchen subconsciously dodged backwards.
Lin Rushuang gave him a provocative smile.
He Tingchen frowned and rubbed his chest: "Why are you pinching me randomly?"
Lin Rushuang swayed her body from side to side with pride, feeling a little triumphant.
He Tingchen stood up and patted her head.
"You said it, we are a perfect match. If you are not an illegitimate daughter, you will not be worthy of me."
After saying this, he murmured as if to himself again.
"Hmm...it seems that there are really no other illegitimate daughters in the entire Cloud City except you."
Lin Rushuang couldn't help but frown as she listened to him talking to himself. She felt like she was being blackmailed.
She was just about to open her mouth to explain to him so that he wouldn't become narcissistic again.
"That's not what I meant just now. I just wanted to say, you..."
"Eat quickly, and then go to sleep so you can be ready for battle tomorrow."
He Tingchen interrupted her directly and patted Lin Rushang on the head like he was patting a dog.
Lin Rushuang pushed his hand away unhappily: "Can you please stop touching me like a dog every time?"
He Tingchen became even more excited after hearing this.
"How do I touch it like this..."
He opened his palm and rubbed Lin Rushang's head again.
"Still like this..."
He Tingchen bent a few fingers, as if grabbing something, and then lifted it up.
Lin Rushuang felt that he looked like a shampooer.
Forget it, forget it. I was bitten by a dog, so I can’t bite the dog back.
Lin Rushuang comforted herself in this way.
The next day.
Lin Rushang woke up very early and sat at the dressing table to put on makeup. She thought for a while and decided that she shouldn't dress too elaborately, as she estimated that most of the people going there were He Tingchen's relatives.
But she couldn't dress too extravagantly, or someone would say she relied on He Tingchen to get to the top and was after his money.
It is best to be low-key but not lacking in luxury, so as not to lose He Tingchen's face or steal the limelight from others.
She put on some light makeup and changed into a fresh lotus green modified version of the cheongsam. It seemed that He Tingchen's family should also be of a more traditional style.
After all, I had the experience of meeting the boy's parents before, so I wasn't too panicked.
Come to think of it, she fell asleep again last night for unknown reasons. Her mission was clearly to coax He Tingchen to sleep, but how did He Tingchen inexplicably coax her?
Last night she was still asking how He Tingchen made his fortune. After all, he had no help from his family and had brought LS to where he is today on his own.
In just a few years, the company has become a leading enterprise, which is not something that everyone can do.
As a result, He Tingchen could tell at a glance that she wanted to learn from him.
Now that her evil plot had been discovered, Lin Rushang no longer hid it.
She admitted frankly that after all, no one in this world would refuse to get rich quickly.
What did He Tingchen say in the end?
"You don't have to do anything. If you want to get rich quickly, just hold on to me, this big tree."
It was a very arrogant statement, but Lin Rushuang knew that He Tingchen had such ability.
When He Tingchen woke up, he saw that Lin Rushang had already put on her makeup, which was completely different from her usual style. Today she looked like the daughter of a scholarly family.
