Chapter 1268 Shen Tingsi, are you tired?
Dinner that day.
Lin Ling and Xiao Xin were still standing in the corner, watching the people in their social circle flatter each other with hypocritical smiles.
She felt bored and lowered her head to take out her cell phone to play.
Xiao Xin knew from Lin Ling's actions that she was also bored. He smiled and said, "Sister Lin, are you feeling bored? The business world is like this. It may appear calm, but inside, there are actually many turbulent events. There may seem to be no so-called small talk, but in fact, the exchange of information takes place in such casual moments."
Lin Ling nodded and started the game.
"Besides, at times like this, you can tell at a glance who has a good relationship with whom."
Xiaoxin had just finished speaking.
He heard the person next to him laugh briefly. Xiao Xin looked over in confusion and heard Lin Ling say, "I can see that the woman in purple clothes holding a tall cup at the 45-degree position should have a good relationship with Shen Tingsi."
Xiao Xin looked up in confusion and saw Lin Shuangshuang, whose eyes seemed to be glued to Shen Tingsi.
Unlike others, other ladies, even if they really like a man, will only express it implicitly. They are not afraid of anything else, but they are afraid that the other party has no feelings for them and it will lose face for the family.
After all, those who come back here are all well-known figures in the business world.
When it comes to asking for sex, it's naturally not that straightforward.
But this Lin Shuangshuang was different. From the first moment she saw Shen Tingsi, she told everyone directly that she wanted to be Mrs. Shen.
She also generously talked about her resume and the help she would bring to the Shen family after the marriage. Lin Shuangshuang is an only daughter and her family is well-off. She is indeed a suitable candidate for the marriage, so she is confident that her confession will not be rejected.
She told Shen Tingsi many times, both openly and secretly, that if she agreed to the marriage, then the Lin family's property would be her dowry and could be used by Shen Tingsi in the future.
Xiao Xin said to Lin Ling, "Let's not talk about anything else. Lin Shuangshuang blocked the boss in the room at least five times, and three of them were with only a bath towel around him. Wasn't it very difficult for Duxie during those five years? The boss was very poor, and Lin Shuangshuang was planning to take advantage of the situation and rob him.
That was the only time during that period that Lin Shuangshuang pushed open the door of the boss's room and almost became Mr. Shen. Although nothing happened afterwards, I could tell that during that time, the boss really wanted to sell himself out.
Lin Ling paused while playing the game.
Xiao Xin didn't notice and continued, "Lin Shuangshuang didn't succeed in the end. The boss climbed out of the quagmire alone. Lin Shuangshuang regretted it many times. She said that she should have just knocked him down when she entered the boss's room. She must have seen the hesitation in the boss's heart, so she regrets it now. She said that she felt her methods were not domineering enough at the time, otherwise she wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble to chase him later."
"There were a few times when Lin Shuangshuang got angry and told the reporters about what happened. She said that she was once Mr. Shen's lover. She also said that Mr. Shen had his bad days and was pretending to be a decent person, but she never thought that he had begged her humbly in the past.
That was all Lin Shuangshuang had to say. After all this back and forth, a nosy reporter later asked the boss about it. He was quite frank, saying that it had indeed been tough for a while and he almost couldn't hold on, but fortunately, he didn't let himself get hurt in the end. Looking back now, it was a learning experience.
"But I heard that Lin Shuangshuang was furious when she saw this interview. It makes me laugh to death just thinking about it!" Xiaoxin said with a smile.
The people around him didn't respond for a long time, and the smile on Xiaoxin's lips hadn't faded yet. He turned his head, and then -
Stunned.
He rarely saw an expression similar to "heartache" on Lin Ling's face.
He suddenly stopped laughing.
With her high heels stepping on the marble, Lin Shuangshuang walked towards Shen Tingsi under the bright lights.
Holding a goblet, she elegantly tried to get closer to Shen Tingsi.
Chen Tingsi calmly moved away. Xiao Xin frowned, "Here it comes again! Here it comes again! Can't she stand on her own? I'm really impressed! If they weren't all business people, and if the old man of the Lin family wasn't such a good person, it wouldn't be good for them to lose face. And if Lin Shuangshuang wasn't a girl, the boss would definitely slap her hard! What kind of person is this! Doesn't he have any sense of shame? Doesn't he know that others are annoying him?"
Lin Ling put away the game she was playing halfway, put her phone in her pocket, leaned against the wall and looked over coldly.
During this time, someone came to Lin Ling holding a wine glass, but was driven away by Xiaoxin with a few words.
Shen Tingsi seemed to notice the movement here and raised an eyebrow at Lin Ling. Lin Ling didn't show any intention of responding and kept a dark face the whole time.
Shen Tingsi didn't understand what was going on, so he turned to look at Xiaoxin with a look that said: Who has offended this old lady?
Xiao Xin chuckled and pretended not to know, but he knew in his heart that he had just said the wrong thing and Lin Ling was probably angry.
Lin Ling was indeed angry.
But I don’t know who I should be angry with.
Are you so angry and wanton?
Those five years were indeed difficult for Duscorpion, but it was not to the extent that he had to bear all the financial responsibilities alone. Sometimes, Bian Zhi and she felt that the support was too much, and they were afraid that it would affect the normal operation of his company.
But he always said: "It's okay, it's nothing, it's okay, I can handle it."
In fact, it's not that she didn't notice it at all, but she was really too busy at that time. Gu Yan lost his leg, the boss was in a coma for more than a year, and then the previous Poison Scorpion boss died. Things never stopped, so maybe she had realized that Shen Tingsi was overloaded, but she didn't have the energy to take care of it.
She was also trying hard to take care of everything, but she never expected that Shen Tingsi would be insulted to this extent!!!
How could he, such a cold and arrogant person, have gritted his teeth and let people in? Was he thinking at that moment that he was just selling himself out and no one would feel sorry for him anyway, just like that time when he was stepped on and got a breeze in return, and he didn't think it mattered?
Lin Ling closed her eyes, not daring to imagine how smug Lin Shuangshuang's face would be when she proudly stepped into Shen Tingsi's room, and what kind of sarcastic and heartbreaking words she would say.
Are you saying he didn't log off for money?
Or did he finally compromise? Wasn't his long-term persistence in vain?
Or do you have to serve yourself?
Lin Shuangshuang said that she was not domineering enough, and Lin Ling didn't dare to think about it. How much more domineering could she be?
She didn't know who to blame in the end.
When I think about the end, it seems that I can only be angry with myself!
She silently looked at the man opposite her, seeing how at ease he was and how steady and dignified he was. However, under the spotlight, she only saw how difficult it had been for him to get to this point step by step over the years.
When he was young, he was deceived by Lin Jue and had to guard a home that never gave him a sense of belonging. Later, he was kicked out of the house and left his hometown, supporting the Shen family alone. Later, he encountered the Scorpion crisis and spent all his family wealth. His life had many ups and downs.
Lin Ling wanted to ask him: Chen Tingsi, are you tired?
When Shen Tingsi sat next to her, Lin Ling really asked this question.
She looked into his eyes and asked, "Chen Tingsi, are you tired?"
