Chapter 2344: Exposure
He Xuyang naturally let go of his hand and put it in his trouser pocket. He looked at Lin Zihang holding Tang Xin's hand and said with a smile: "Excuse me, is Tang Xin someone from Young Master Lin's group?"
He Xuyang's meaning was clear. If Tang Xin was Lin Zihang's girlfriend, he would definitely stop harassing her, but if not, he would continue to pursue her.
Lin Zihang was about to speak, but Tang Xin spoke first: "No! Mr. Lin and I are just friends."
Lin Zihang lowered his eyes and glanced at her. Was she stupid, or did she just want to cut off ties with him?
Just lie and say she is his girlfriend, wouldn't that get rid of He Xuyang?
But Tang Xin didn't make eye contact with him and even broke free from his hand.
Lin Zihang was unhappy and frowned.
He Xuyang saw this and said, "Since they are not Young Master Lin's men, then I can..."
"No," Lin Zihang interrupted him abruptly, holding Tang Xin's hand again and saying to He Xuyang, "She's my female companion. I'm taking her to meet some friends, so I won't talk to Mr. He anymore."
After saying that, Lin Zihang no longer cared about He Xuyang, and took Tang Xin's hand and walked towards his independent lounge at the end of the corridor.
When entering the door, Lin Zihang was a little too strong, and Tang Xin was pulled in by him, and her head hit the cabinet next to her.
Tang Xin groaned, turned to look at him, and said with a look of resentment, "Mr. Lin, I'm no longer the heavyweight I used to be. Please be gentler."
She rubbed her forehead as she spoke.
Lin Zihang listened to her words, feeling apologetic and wanting to laugh. "Yes, before, I pulled you and you remained motionless. But now, even a gust of wind can blow you away."
As he spoke, he took Tang Xin's hand away and said, "Let me see if it's serious."
Tang Xin pushed his hand away uncomfortably, turned her face to the side, brushed her bangs, and said, "It's okay."
Lin Zihang put his hands down, but his eyes fell on the straps of her skirt. He looked down along her crooked straps and suddenly his blood rushed to his head.
I was just thinking about her clothes, and I brought her to the lounge to find her something to change into.
There was nothing wrong with the dress she was wearing. It was a deep V-neck dress that looked very textured and had a beautiful cut. But when Tang Xin wore it, it looked like a child wearing adult clothes. The dress was obviously one size too big, and she even pinned a paper clip on one side of her waistline to make her waist look smaller.
The large and loose size of the dress would not be a problem, but this kind of dress is easy to show the inside, and because you can't wear underwear inside, girls can either choose to go topless and protect themselves at all times, or apply protective stickers on themselves.
Tang Xin obviously chose the former...
Since she wasn't wearing anything underneath, she should have taken care to protect herself! But she didn't seem to be aware of this. As she was tugging at him, the shoulder strap slipped and fell down her arm. Although she quickly pulled it up, the neckline was open, and Lin Zihang had already seen everything he should and shouldn't see.
Lin Zihang thought again that she had been pulled by He Xuyang just now, and she was afraid that he had taken advantage of her as well.
Thinking of this, Lin Zihang was furious. "Don't you have any other clothes?"
Tang Xin looked down at her skirt, understood what he meant, and hurriedly covered her chest with her handbag, lowering her head and not daring to look at Lin Zihang.
"This is the only one that can be worn for this kind of occasion..." she whispered.
Lin Zihang thought about her family situation and couldn't say anything more about her, so he asked, "Didn't Xiaoyu prepare a dress for you?"
He thought that they were all good friends, Cheng Xiaoyu or Xiaojiu should know Tang Xin's embarrassment, and they were both thoughtful girls, so they should help Tang Xin prepare a dress.
Tang Xin said, "This is what Xiaoyu prepared for me... She prepared it a long time ago. I didn't expect that I've lost a little weight in the past two months..."
Lin Zihang looked at her loose waist and realized that she was not just thinner.
"Still losing weight?"
"No... I suddenly became able to lose weight easily. I never thought of this in my wildest dreams!"
She's still in the mood for jokes!
Seeing her losing weight so unhealthily, Lin Zihang became a little worried and said, "Losing weight too quickly is not a good thing. Take some time to get yourself a physical examination."
"Oh, okay."
Lin Zihang looked at her, shook his head helplessly, and walked to the closet, wanting to find her some clothes to change into, but the clothes his assistant had prepared for him were all his spare time, and there was nothing Tang Xin could wear.
This is not the assistant's fault. Lin Zihang came to the wedding banquet alone and did not bring a female companion, so naturally there was no need to prepare women's clothing.
Lin Zihang had no choice but to pick up a slim-fitting suit jacket and hand it to Tang Xin.
Tang Xin put it on obediently, and then told him that she would wash the clothes and mail them to him later.
"No, I don't need this one."
This dress needs dry cleaning, which is probably not cheap. I lent her the dress because I didn't want her to be exposed, not to add extra financial burden to her.
Thinking of the financial burden, Lin Zihang suddenly remembered that Tang Xin was not short of money. She had auctioned a necklace before. Even if she used the money from the auction to pay off her father's debts, there would still be a lot left in her hands. Where was the money?
Lin Zihang asked: "Didn't I give you..."
He stopped mid-sentence.
Tang Xin looked at him doubtfully: "Give me what?"
He was silent for two seconds, then said, "Didn't I tell you not to save money when you have it? The money you earned from auctioning your necklace isn't enough for you to buy a dress that fits you?"
Tang Xin no longer suspected anything and said that she seldom attended such occasions where she had to wear a dress. It was not worthwhile to spend a lot of money on a skirt and then put it in the bottom of the closet. Anyway, she came to wish Xiaoyu a happy birthday. Not many people knew her and would care about the size of her skirt.
"But I care." Lin Zihang almost blurted out.
As soon as he said this, both Tang Xin and he were stunned.
Lin Zihang cleared his throat and added, "I just hope you dress decently, or at least dress appropriately."
He glanced at her and said, "What do you look like?"
Tang Xin felt a little embarrassed, and wrapped her suit jacket around her, saying that she was leaving soon anyway, and Young Master Lin wouldn't be bothered if he couldn't see her.
Lin Zihang closed his eyes and said, "I'm not annoyed, but..."
"Hmm?" Tang Xin looked at him doubtfully, waiting for him to continue.
Lin Zihang pursed his lips. But what? He himself couldn't explain it clearly.
"In any case, don't live so frugally in the future. Tell me if you need money."
Tang Xin quickly said, "I'm not short of money. I want to save it to buy a house, but I haven't decided where to buy it."
Lin Zihang was a little surprised. He didn't expect Tang Xin to consider buying a house.
But speaking of the house, he remembered a time before, when he finished practicing the piano and it was a little late, he happened to be on his way, so he sent Tang Xin home. At that time, she had not left her parents and lived alone.
He walked her downstairs and saw the environment she lived in: an old-fashioned five-story residential building. The windows in the corridor didn't even have glass. The garbage chute on one side of the corridor was wide open, and garbage was pouring out, emitting a foul smell. Flies and mosquitoes were buzzing around the pile of garbage...
