Chapter 129 Dare to use me as a stepping stone
After He Tingchen heard what she said, his face visibly darkened.
"You're exaggerating a bit too much, and your acting is too exaggerated. Go back and learn how to act from Li Wenyuan."
Lin Rushuang's smile just now completely froze on her face.
It felt like He Tingchen's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on her.
Lin Rushuang lowered her eyes. Was her performance really that exaggerated?
She felt that she was expressing her feelings quite sincerely.
Forget it. Feeling that He Tingchen was not easily persuaded, she decided to be straightforward with him.
"Mr. He, I have something I want to discuss with you."
He Tingchen sat on the chair, his long legs crossed, his elbows resting on the dining table, his head tilted upwards as he looked at her, his narrowed eyes gleaming with brilliance.
"Is the little fox finally going to show his tail?"
Lin Rushuang's heart skipped a beat: "You knew this a long time ago?"
He Tingchen looked at Lin Rushang. Her pupils trembled slightly, and her eyes were misty, making her look pitiful and charming.
She probably didn't even realize that sometimes when she looked at people, her eyes would inadvertently reveal charm, like a seductive fox.
He coughed lightly, his voice was magnetic, like a low cannon.
"I just reminded you that your little thoughts are transparent to me."
Speaking of transparency, Lin Rushuang inexplicably recalled that He Tingchen had been able to tell the size of her clothes, even those that were close-fitting, just by measuring with his eyes. This man was truly terrifying.
Lin Rushang suddenly felt that her previous series of actions were like a clown in front of He Tingchen.
He watched with a God's vision how he was performing like a clown entertaining himself.
The feeling of shame of being made fun of suddenly came over me.
Her hand holding the chopsticks tightened unconsciously, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? Are you happy just sitting here quietly watching me pleasing myself like an idiot?"
He Tingchen frowned, his voice cold and chilling.
"Sister Lin, if you want to vent your anger, don't vent it on me. Now that you need something from me, you should act like a beggar."
He Tingchen's words seemed to deal a heavy blow to Lin Rushuang.
He was warning her not to keep throwing tantrums in front of him.
The resentment that had just surged up in Lin Rushang was suddenly suppressed a little, and her rationality was completely restored.
He Tingchen was right. She really had no right to lose her temper in front of him.
He is not her boyfriend, so he can't be called a friend. Even if he is a friend, she shouldn't lose her temper.
Lin Rushuang took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"Sorry, I was a little overwhelmed just now."
He Tingchen stood up without saying a word and walked towards the kitchen. Lin Rushang's heart was lifted up.
I always feel like He Tingchen is angry.
Lin Rushuang felt that she had gotten into big trouble. If He Tingchen got angry, her plan would probably be ruined before she could even say a word.
She rubbed her eyebrows, feeling extremely irritated, wondering what to do now.
If He Tingchen can't handle it, then she's finished. Things are now getting out of control.
She didn't know who to look for at the moment, and Yang Xin happened to send another message.
[How did you resolve the issue over there? ]
Lin Rushang was probably desperate and told Yang Xin about her plan, except that she wanted to leave Yuncheng.
Yang Xin sent a sweating expression.
[I'm not saying this, He Tingchen is very difficult to deal with. Ten men combined might not be as difficult as him.]
Lin Rushuang: [I know, otherwise why would I ask you for help.]
Yang Xin is also very loyal.
[Wait a minute, I'll find a solution for you now.]
Lin Rushang waited for about a few seconds, and saw another message from Yang Xin.
He Tingchen feels that it would be very troublesome for you to reason with him. Why not just be frank with him, or negotiate terms with him? After all, you've resigned now, so you can go to their company later.
Lin Rushuang almost slapped her head. She was really too anxious. It would be better for her to find a solution herself than to ask Yang Xin for help.
[Forget it, I'll think about it myself.]
Yang Xin typed a few more words.
[But I think even the most difficult curly hair can't be achieved without those few words. You know what it means when you say a hero can't resist a beautiful woman? With your looks, you'll definitely be able to win him over.]
After reading it, Lin Rushuang thought it was crazy that Yang Xin even came up with such a method for her.
She heard footsteps and quickly put her phone back in her pocket, then pretended nothing had happened and continued eating.
He Tingchen suddenly pushed an exquisite dessert in front of her.
"I heard that eating sweet things can make people feel better."
Lin Rushang looked at the delicious strawberry cake in front of her and looked at He Tingchen with some confusion.
"What do you mean?"
Is this his typical slap-then-give-a-bit approach?
He Tingchen raised his eyebrows: "I'm just trying to tease you. Can't you see it's so obvious?"
When Lin Rushuang heard He Tingchen's word "coaxing", she suddenly got goosebumps all over her body.
She couldn't help but shudder: "Then you'd better stop coaxing me, it's creepy."
Especially how sweet the word "coax" is, but when it is said in He Tingchen's stiff and rigid tone, it is impossible to tell.
It's more like a threat. Will you eat it or not? If you don't, I'll show you how I'm going to deal with you.
He Tingchen pulled out a chair and sat down again.
"Why, is Li Wenyuan good at coaxing people? That's right, if he wasn't, how could he have tricked you into being so willing?"
Lin Rushuang clenched her fists tightly, unable to find any words to refute. Although He Tingchen's words were unpleasant to the ear, they were indeed very insightful.
She picked up the spoon and scooped a piece of strawberry cake into her mouth.
The sweet fragrance with a hint of sourness filled her lips and teeth, and Lin Rushang really felt that her mood improved a lot in an instant.
Desserts can really make people happy.
After taking two bites to calm down, Lin Rushang raised her head and looked at He Tingchen.
"Mr. He, I know it might be a bit presumptuous to ask you for this favor."
He Tingchen saw that she kept asking for his help with a serious look on her face, and he curled the corners of his lips slightly.
"I know it's presumptuous, but I still bring it up."
Lin Rushuang really wanted to cry. What else could she do? She could have waited until the deadline and left smoothly, but who knew that she would be involved with He Tingchen.
"Mr. He, if you have any requests, you can tell me, but you must do me a favor."
He Tingchen rubbed his chin. "If I'm not mistaken, you want me to publicly tell the media that the woman I showed up with at the bar is your sister. Anyway, the media didn't capture your face, so it's the same if you just pick someone else to take the blame."
"In this way, you can openly ask your father to return your mother's tombstone to the Lin family, right?"
Lin Rushuang couldn't help but gasp, feeling as if an electric current was running through her body.
He actually guessed correctly. If she hadn't returned to the Lin family alone at that time, she would have suspected that He Tingchen was there.
Otherwise, how could he know it so clearly.
Lin Rushuang admitted that her voice was a bit loud just now, and she did look a bit like a clown.
She had no idea that her thoughts were nothing but child's play in He Tingchen's eyes, not something that could be presented to the public.
She actually spent such a long time preparing for this opening speech.
Lin Rushuang finally experienced what it meant to waste effort today.
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
It was unknown how long it took for Lin Rushang to find her voice again.
"Yes, since you already know everything, Mr. He, I won't hide it from you."
He Tingchen raised his eyelids slightly, with a lazy look on his face.
"So you're trying to use me now, Sister Lin. You're quite brave, using me as a stepping stone."
Lin Rushuang felt a little frightened by He Tingchen's nonchalant words.
Indeed, she was so bold that she dared to use He Tingchen as a stepping stone.
She pinched her fingers, calmed herself down, and tried to convince He Tingchen.
