Chapter 18 Chapter 18 It’s no wonder that others associate Su Ting with Ya…
It is not difficult to obtain information about Ruan Lin, nor is it difficult to deal with Ruan Lin's family. The difficult part is how to eliminate the influence of those photos on Ye Xiuming.
Su Ting was not afraid of the world's critical eyes, nor was he afraid that Ye Xiuming would look at him with tinted glasses, but Ye Xiuming was still a teenager, and those pornographic photos themselves were negative factors.
He decided to leave Ye Xiuming alone for a while and deal with this difficult matter calmly.
So when Ye Xiuming woke up from his drunken state, he only saw Zhou Xubai. At that time, he was listening to the doctor's words carefully and writing down all the medical instructions in a notebook in detail.
Ye Xiuming's vision was hazy, his brain was groggy, and he felt an indescribable pain. He asked weakly, "Dad, where's Su Xiaoba?"
"Your little dad is going on a business trip for a few days."
"Where is he going on business?"
Zhou Xubai couldn't continue his lies. He looked at Ye Xiuming hesitantly, "When you took those cocktail glasses, the waiter should have reminded you that they contained alcohol. Why did you still steal one?"
Ye Xiuming turned his head away, not daring to look Zhou Xubai in the eye.
"It's because you saw those photos that you felt uncomfortable, right?" Zhou Xubai was clearly smiling, but there seemed to be a layer of ice in his eyes, and there was no ripple in the depths of his pupils.
"How did you know that?"
"You accidentally said it when you fell asleep yesterday, and Su Tingquan heard it."
Ye Xiuming's pupils shrank suddenly: "You mean Xiaoba knows that I know."
"Yeah," Zhou Xubai stared at him intensely, "but he is indeed on a business trip, not hiding from you."
Ye Xiuming's tense back relaxed a bit and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Xubai: "But he's not sure how much of an impact those photos have on you, and he's considering taking you to see a psychotherapist."
Ye Xiuming's head began to shake slightly and rapidly, and he said in panic, "I didn't see it very clearly, only a vague shadow. I'm not even sure if it was Little Dad... It doesn't affect me at all."
Zhou Xubai's eyes lit up: "Are you serious?"
Ye Xiuming: "Yeah, really."
"So you don't have these photos?" Zhou Xubai wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Ye Xiuming lied: "No, how could I possibly keep those things."
This time Zhou Xubai breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Ting called him early in the morning and sounded quite anxious. Zhou Xubai thought that Su Ting was going to settle the score for what happened last night, and was tensely preparing for training, but then he heard the news that the photos were leaked at Ye Xiuming's school.
When Zhou Xubai received the order to check Ruan Lin's family information, he was actually worried for the Ruan family. Su Ting had lost control of his emotions several times and almost forced others to death. This time was probably not going to be any easier.
Zhou Xubai's long eyelashes drooped, making his sharp-edged face look both rough and delicate. When Ye Xiuming saw his extraordinary face, he couldn't help but think of Su Ting's sexual orientation and his true relationship with Zhou Xubai.
Ye Xiuming's eyes focused, and he asked slyly, "Did Little Dad tell you everything, Big Dad?"
Zhou Xubai thought for a moment and nodded, "We really can talk about anything."
"Are you really a couple?"
Zhou Xubai seemed to have been punched by someone, and said rashly, "We are just friends who can talk about anything. We don't have that kind of relationship."
"Then do you want to have it?" Ye Xiuming stared at him fiercely, as if if Zhou Xubai didn't give him an answer today, he would swallow Zhou Xubai up.
Zhou Xubai didn't want to answer the brat directly. He just felt that Ye Xiuming was getting too involved in his adoptive father's love life. He smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Su Ting about you?"
Ye Xiuming shook his head: "You don't dare."
Zhou Xubai really didn't dare. Su Ting was absolutely against feelings. Sometimes keeping distance was the only way to last longer.
He laughed: "I really don't dare."
Ye Xiuming also laughed: "You don't dare to complain because you want to be with Xiaoba."
Zhou Xubai stared at Ye Xiuming in a daze, thinking that this was indeed the truth.
"Ye Xiuming," Zhou Xubai's Adam's apple rolled back and forth, and after a long while, he snorted coldly from his nose, "You don't seem to be an ordinary kid."
Ye Xiuming, acting like a harmless child again, asked in a hushed voice, "Will you tell on me, Dad?"
Ye Xiuming had a hold on his weak spot and the biggest secret of his life. Even if he wanted to say something bad about Ye Xiuming to Su Ting, he had no chance. That guy would only sell his own secrets to Su Ting.
So Zhou Xubai pointed at Ye Xiuming and said, "Xiao Ye, please don't talk nonsense."
Ye Xiuming chuckled: "Same here."
Within a few days, Ye Xiuming returned to school. Su Ting was still on a business trip, so Zhou Xubai had brought him here. Pei An had been waiting under the wisteria trellis at the school gate early in the morning. Seeing Ye Xiuming approaching from a distance, accompanied by a strange adult man, he greeted Zhou Xubai first.
"Didn't your adoptive father bring you here this time?"
Ye Xiuming nodded absentmindedly, "He's on a business trip."
He said goodbye to Zhou Xubai and walked into the school side by side with Pei An. Pei An said mysteriously, "Have you heard? Ruan Lin's father is under control."
Ye Xiuming was shocked, "What's going on?"
"It's said that in Longcheng, Ruan Lin's father's district wanted to attract a high-end real estate developer to create a landmark building for their district as a business card, thereby increasing housing prices and gaining political achievements. He also opened up the bidding channels in advance. Unexpectedly, at the last minute, someone reported him for shady dealings. After an investigation, it was discovered that Ruan Lin's father had indeed taken advantage of the other party, reportedly hundreds of them."
Ye Xiuming's forehead suddenly broke out in sweat, and he looked unwell. Pei An hurriedly handed him a bottle of water and asked him to drink it. "You haven't been here these past few days. Are you sick?"
Ye Xiuming smiled bitterly and said, "I accidentally ate something and got a little alcohol poisoning, but I'm fine now."
Pei An said: "Why are you so careless?"
Ye Xiuming: "I don't know either." He looked at Pei An without blinking, "How many years do you think Ruan Lin's father will be sentenced to?"
"At least ten years."
"What if it's tens of millions?" Ye Xiuming thought, "How long will the sentence be?"
Pei An hissed, "I guess he'll be sentenced to death."
Ye Xiuming's eyes were clouded as he walked heavily to the classroom, saying goodbye to Pei An. Ruan Lin had a little follower who happened to be in Ye Xiuming's class. When he saw Ye Xiuming, he looked at him as if he had seen the plague. Even though they were sitting diagonally across from each other, he still tilted his head to the side.
Although Ye Xiuming did not dare to indulge in the delusion that it was Su Ting who solved the problem of Ruan Zhiguo, his thoughts subconsciously drifted to Su Ting's current business trip.
He didn't go out earlier or later, but just happened to go out after knowing Ruan Lin's name.
And this happened just as it happened.
It’s no wonder that others associate Su Ting with a vengeful person.
