Nothing could be seen in the dim room, but with the moonlight coming in from the window, one could still make out a white hand reaching out to the bedside table in the dark, groping for the phone.

As the slender wrist bone moved slightly, the incessant ringing of cell phones in the room finally quieted down, and at the same time, the voice from the other end of the phone came out.

The familiar male voice sounded familiar, but Lin Jingshuo didn't think about anything else. Instead, he put the phone to his ear and asked indifferently:

"What else?"

"Jing Shuo, what's wrong? You turned your back on me after using me?" The calm voice seemed uneventful, but due to Lin Jingshuo's familiarity with the man, he could still sense the dissatisfaction hidden in the other's tone.

Perhaps because they were too familiar with each other, Lin Jingshuo rarely put on the politeness required of outsiders, but instead allowed impatience to creep up his brows.

The young man's frail, snow-white complexion made his lips appear even more crimson, and his lips opened and closed with a careless laziness. He lowered his eyes and repeated expressionlessly:

"What's going on?"

Hehehe…

This tone is even colder than my expressionless face.

The family doctor on the other end of the electric ring complained silently in his heart, frowned and asked why Lin Jingshuo was so persistent in getting close to the head of the Tang family.

Yes, as an accomplice, he actually had no idea what his friend was thinking.

If it weren't for the fact that they both came from an orphanage, he wouldn't have agreed to Lin Jingshuo's request without asking any questions.

However, this incident did make that person feel more pity for Jing Shuo.

But--

What exactly does Jing Shuo want?

Just as the doctor was questioning Lin Jingshuo with the last bit of conscience in his heart, Lin Jingshuo chuckled twice and asked back:

"Did I ask you to tell any lies?"

"Or did I ask you to lie to him about something?"

The doctor frowned and denied it: "That's not the case..."

"In that case, why ask so many questions?" Lin Jingshuo looked out the window and murmured casually.

Doctor: “…” What you said seems to make some sense.

"Whatever you want to do, I don't want you to use your body as the price of completing it. Just promise me this, okay?"

Although Jing Shuo always maintained an evasive attitude, the doctor still patiently advised him like an old father.

In fact, he could vaguely sense what Jing Shuo wanted to do.

Although the reunion with Jing Shuo was somewhat unexpected, as a witness to Jing Shuo's interactions with the Tang family's Patriarch, the doctor still guessed it—

It seems that Jing Shuo is after Tang Yu.

Ahem… Although I don’t know why Jing Shuo chose to get engaged to the eldest son of the Tang family before, and why he is now ignoring the sparks with the person in charge of the Tang family, but as close playmates in the orphanage, the doctor still warned with some concern:

"Jing Shuo, we still have to uphold our moral bottom line..."

After hearing this, Lin Jingshuo hung up the phone without any hesitation, without even giving the other party time to react.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jingshuo pressed the phone under his palm, curling his lips and smiling contemptuously:

"Oh, moral bottom line?"

But……

What moral bottom line does a person like him have?

If you guard that broken line, you won’t even be able to enter the Tang family’s door.

That's what he said, but when Lin Jingshuo's eyes suddenly fell on the medicine on the table, his gaze softened a little inadvertently.

He seemed to see Tang Yu's figure, seeing Tang Yu patiently and carefully dividing the medicine one by one at the table.

Even her body began to uncontrollably miss the warmth of Tang Yu's embrace.

The smile on Lin Jingshuo's face gradually turned sweet, and it was even more obvious in the night.

Of course, he didn't want his body to become so bad, but facing the established facts that could not be changed, wasn't it a good choice to let Tang Yu feel more pity for him after finding out?

At least Tang Yu now can't do anything to send him away again.

Lin Jingshuo could not deny his twisted and extreme behavior, and even relying on his understanding of Tang Yu, he allowed his despicable and dark thoughts to gradually expand into boundless greed.

Obviously, at the beginning, it was just to see Tang Yu.

If he really got engaged to Tang Ruize or even married him, the ending between him and Tang Yu would never be rewritten.

Then he thought—

This is already a good choice for him. After all, he can still see Tang Yu, right?

However, after returning to China and seeing Tang Yu, boundless greed began to grow in his heart.

He not only hoped that Tang Yu's eyes would stay on him, but also greedily wanted more, a little more.

Not only meeting, but also hugging and kissing.

If he wants these, he cannot be trapped in a secular identity, nor can he be trapped in the identity of Tang Ruize's fiancé.

So, in a sense, even if Tang Yu didn't mention it in person, he would find a time to talk to Tang Ruize about breaking off the engagement.

And the current situation is much better than he expected.

It doesn't matter, things will only get better from now on. He will use all the chips he has to exchange for a little bit of sympathy from Tang Yu.

What does it matter whether you love or not?

Anyway, it’s good that he is the only one around Tang Yu.

The young man, with a slight smile on his lips, coaxed himself to sleep in sweet fantasies, but he never expected that someone was trying every possible way to dig out his past.

This story begins when Tang Ruize, who was recuperating in the hospital, suddenly received a phone call.

Tang Ruize was already in a bad mood. Any phone call at this time would be like a fuse to detonate explosives for him. So Tang Ruize looked at the strange number that kept flashing on the screen of his mobile phone and kept calling. He answered the call with a grin and condescending attitude.

"Hey! Who's this? You'd better have something important to say, or you might end up in trouble."

"Because I, your master, have plenty of time to deal with you!"

"Oh! Why is the young master so angry?"

The familiar and annoying voice on the other end of the phone made Tang Ruize snort sinisterly, and then he asked unhappily:

"Nie Xingchi, are you bored? Don't you have anything to do all day?"

"Oh, business? My business is to find Uncle Tang!" Nie Xingchi didn't hide his thoughts at all, and asked as if it was a matter of course: "By the way, what has Uncle Tang been busy with recently? I went to his company several times and didn't see him..."

It must be said that Nie Xingchi knows how to step on landmines accurately.

I was already annoyed by being kicked out, and now this person actually wants to ask for information from me!

Tang Ruize rolled his eyes, leaned against the headboard and shared his father's dynamic without hiding anything:

"Want to know what my dad is doing?"

"I've been completely bewitched by that little devil and have been working from home these days. Of course, you can't see me..."

Oh, he can't suffer alone, it's nice to share it with others.

Especially this person is Nie Xingchi.

But to be honest, he is really unlucky.

One of them is always thinking about being his "brother", while the other is trying her best to be his "stepmother".

So, tracing back to the source...is it because his dad is so popular?

Finally, Tang Ruize silently confirmed his speculation.
