Chapter 285 Concealing the Facts

Lin Rushuang glared and looked at He Tingchen with a strange look. She was really touched in the last second, and felt like hitting him in the next second.

She propped herself up and tilted her head to look at He Tingchen.

"Mr. He, please explain to me clearly what it means to beat a dog and look at its owner first."

He Tingchen smiled awkwardly and raised his hand to touch Lin Rushang's head again.

"Our Lin Daiyu is so stingy. It's just a metaphor. I didn't say you are really a dog."

Lin Rushuang: “…”

She raised her hand and brushed He Tingchen's hand away.

"You might as well not explain."

The more you explain, the more it sounds like you're cursing.

After returning to the apartment, He Tingchen opened the door and threw the key directly on the table. He took off his coat and said to Wang Ma with a relaxed look.

"Auntie Wang, just make two dishes. Use less chili peppers and keep them light."

Aunt Wang poked her head out of the kitchen and knew exactly why He Tingchen and Lin Rushuang didn't eat at the old house.

"But sir, don't you usually prefer spicy food? Why do you want to eat light food today?"

He Tingchen raised his chin towards Lin Rushuang.

Mother Wang immediately understood and smiled kindly.

"Sir, you're really thoughtful. I've almost forgotten about this."

"I'll do it right away."

Lin Rushang was sitting cross-legged on the ground, touching Shuangshuang's head. Shuangshuang had now completely adapted to her.

Sometimes he spends more time with her than with He Tingchen.

Then the real male owner seemed to notice it as well.

He turned his head to glance at Lin Rushang and Shuangshuang, his eyes filled with deep disgust.

"It's true that a grown-up child can't be kept. I've raised him for so many years, but he can't walk when he sees a woman. I guess he'd be happy to be dragged to the dog meat market if you wanted to."

Lin Rushuang smiled, holding the furry head of the two dogs, and asked them with her head tilted.

"Really? Are you so loyal to me now? You'd go to the dog meat market even if I dragged you there."

Shuangshuang didn’t know if she understood or not, but she just stared at Lin Rushuang. The puppy’s eyes were really affectionate when looking at people, and there was only you in his eyes.

Her big watery eyes look particularly innocent.

Lin Rushuang just said it casually when she saw this.

"Don't tell me, sometimes I find that this dog seems to be more affectionate than a man. Look at its eyes, it really feels like they are full of you, starry eyes, so innocent."

As she spoke, Lin Rushang moved closer and rubbed Shuangshuang again.

Both of them benefited greatly from it.

He Tingchen paused as he picked up the water cup and glanced at her lazily.

"You're repaying kindness with enmity, huh? Now you've learned to apply what you've learned to other situations. You're learning really fast."

Just now he was teasing her that even when beating a dog, one should look at the owner first. Now she was retaliating quickly, saying that men were worse than dogs...

This is really insulting.

Lin Rushuang acted as if she knew nothing: "I was just saying it casually, so just don't take it too seriously."

He Tingchen didn't bother with her and dusted off his suit pants.

"I am a magnanimous man and will not argue with a little girl like you. I am going upstairs to change my clothes. Call me when it's time for dinner."

As He Tingchen stepped onto the stairs, he did not forget to look back at Lin Rushang.

The man and the dog seem to be in harmony.

Good.

Aunt Wang prepared the food and placed it on the dining table. She also saw that Lin Rushuang was playing happily with the dog, so she chatted with her casually.

"This Shuangshuang really depends on the type of person. In the past, there were some women that the old man introduced to the gentleman who came to his house. Because the gentleman was quite resistant at the time, but the old man really couldn't do anything about it."

"He arranged for some women to come to him, but the gentleman was very strange. He asked those women to stay as long as they were not opposed to him and took the initiative to approach him, and then he would let them stay to try to improve the communication between the two of them."

Lin Rushuang usually doesn't like to listen to gossip, but she is still very interested in listening to people like He Tingchen who have a rather eccentric personality.

Her gossipy eyes were almost glued to Wang Ma, and she couldn't wait to ask.

"And then what? And then what? It's impossible that there are so many talented people and not a single one of them can stay."

Wang Ma nodded frankly.

"That's true."

Lin Rushuang couldn't help but ask, "How does Shuangshuang distinguish them? It can't just rely on its eyesight like a human can, right?"

Mother Wang thought about it carefully.

"No, Shuangshuang seems to rely on smelling, smelling the scent on their bodies."

Lin Rushuang found it a little strange when she heard this. Although she knew that dogs did like to identify things by smell, she didn't know what kind of smell Shuangshuang wanted to smell.

"Auntie Wang, what you said is amazing. What flavor does Shuangshuang like?"

Mother Wang also shook her head.

"I don't know about that, but since Shuangshuang likes you, it must be the smell of you that makes it like you."

"Ah? My smell..."

Lin Rushang raised her sleeves and smelled herself.

"I don't have any smell on me, just the ordinary smell of shower gel or shampoo."

Wang Ma thought about it carefully and said, "Or maybe Shuangshuang has smelled your scent somewhere before. I heard that you knew your husband before, because of your mother."

"Or maybe Shuangshuang has smelled something like you somewhere on Mr., but these are just my guesses, so just listen to it."

Lin Rushuang herself didn't take it seriously. After all, it did sound a bit too metaphysical.

She quickly passed over the subject.

"Auntie Wang, I'll go upstairs and call He Tingchen down for dinner."

"Um."

Lin Rushuang walked to the door and raised her hand to knock.

"He Tingchen, it's time to eat."

There was no response from inside.

Lin Rushang pushed the door open and walked in, then heard the sound of the shower in the bathroom.

It turned out that he was taking a shower.

Lin Rushuang sat on the chair, thinking that He Tingchen would probably take a while to wash, so she might as well make a phone call first.

She dialed the strange number.

"Go and help me check. I had a fire ten years ago. See if there were other people present at the time. For example, where was He Tingchen at the time?"

Lin Rushuang felt that this should be easy to find out. After all, it shouldn't be difficult to find out where He Tingchen was at that time.

In fact, she didn't rely entirely on any evidence, just on her intuition.

Because she knew Li Wenyuan too well.

Once you realize that he has started lying, he may have already told many lies.

"I've already checked part of what you said last time. I heard someone say that the person who saved you was hit by a piece of wood from the beam. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a scar."

Lin Rushuang frowned: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. I've been investigating since you told me last time. Although it's been a bit difficult, I've managed to find some clues. I also feel like someone is deliberately concealing the facts."
