At this moment, Tang Ruize, who had received the housekeeper's reply call, jumped up from the bed, happy like a 200-pound child:
"What? You said my dad would come pick me up in person?"
"Yes, young master, the head of the family is on the way." The housekeeper also heard the excited voice on the other end of the phone, so he squinted his eyes and shared Tang Yu's progress at the time.
"Really? Hahaha... I told you my dad wouldn't ignore me!!" Tang Rui gritted his teeth and covered his injured leg that he had accidentally pulled due to his big movements. He limped to the sofa and sat down. Even the housekeeper could imagine his arrogant look through the phone.
After hearing the most important thing, Tang Ruize cleared his throat and asked indirectly about Lin Jingshuo:
"Then... then... Lin Jingshuo still lives at home?"
"Yes, ma'am... Mr. Lin is currently living at home..." The housekeeper was halfway through his words when he realized that this should not be said in front of the eldest young master, so he hurriedly changed his words, but unfortunately it was too late.
The eldest young master's sinister voice immediately came from the other end of the phone:
"What did you call him? Say it again."
lady?
The housekeeper had changed his words, so didn't that mean his father was really determined to be with Lin Jingshuo? Wouldn't that mean he would have to call her "stepmother" when he returned?
This was the first time that Tang Ruize thought of Nie Xingchi so proactively, but not for any other reason. He was wondering why this man was so slow and hadn't found anything after such a long time.
Tang Ruize felt a growing sense of crisis, but the butler on the other end of the phone chose to remain silent at this time.
Silence is better than words, Tang Ruize was forced to know the answer.
He hung up the phone irritably, rubbed his hair, and couldn't help but start complaining in the so-called childhood friend group -
Tang Ruize: [Hey, let me ask you something. What if a younger person falls in love with a man who is ten or twenty years older than him?]
Friend A: [Of course it's for the money! It can't be because the man isn't showering even though he's older, right?]
Tang Ruize's forehead began to bulge slightly. Perhaps because he was the only one who knew that the man was his father, he was disgusted by the words his friend sent him. So, he could no longer bear it and typed a rebuttal:
"I'm talking about someone who's older but you can't tell. And he's pretty handsome, okay? He even knows how to bathe."
He is his father's fan.
Friend B then spoke up: [Haha, can being handsome really earn you a living? Age is a clear disadvantage! Do you think everyone is like Uncle Tang?]
Friend C: [I agree with that. If that man is Uncle Tang, the young man might not be after money, but rather——]

…
Phew, now Tang Ruize didn’t want to talk anymore.
What could he say? Say that the man was indeed his father?
But what they said is not completely unreasonable.
With a father like his, it's not impossible for young people to cling to him.
However, Tang Ruize still felt resentful about Lin Jingshuo's agreement to get engaged to him.
Since you like his father, why did you agree to him?
Tsk, alright, let’s wait for him to come back and counter his moves.
He won't be as reckless this time.
Tang Ruize tried to calm himself down, and in order to ensure that he would not subconsciously put on a sour face in front of his father later, he deliberately pulled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
When the phone rang again, Tang Ruize couldn't hide his joy. He was about to answer the call happily when he saw the name displayed on it was the person he hated the most.
However, Tang Ruize finally accepted the call, but his tone was not very good, as if Lin Jingshuo owed him millions.
"Hello? If you have something to say, just say it, Lin Jingshuo. I'm not as easy to fool as my dad. Especially if you're just here to show off, then that's fine."
Hearing the vigilance and precaution in Tang Ruize's tone, Lin Jingshuo smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, and directly grasped Tang Ruize's weakness:
"You don't want your dad to always make things difficult between us, do you?"
Tang Ruize's appetite was piqued. "What exactly do you want to say?"
"How about we come to an agreement and keep the peace in front of your father? It will save your father from worrying about our relationship."
After re-recognizing his own heart, Lin Jingshuo also wanted to do something for Tang Yu.
He didn't want to put Tang Yu in such a difficult position.
After all, Tang Ruize was the child raised by Tang Yu herself. If the two of them were always at loggerheads and couldn't stand each other, in the end, the only one who would be really troubled would be Tang Yu.
So for Tang Yu, it doesn't matter if he endures it. He just hopes that the spoiled young master will not reject this proposal arbitrarily because of him.
But the silence on the other side made Lin Jingshuo keenly aware that there might be a chance in this matter.
After a while, Tang Ruize asked hesitantly, "Are you serious?"
This proposal was obviously made from his father's perspective. For a moment, Tang Ruize couldn't believe that Lin Jingshuo would actually consider his father.
After all, he had also come into contact with Lin Jingshuo and knew that Lin Jingshuo only cared about him the most.
Beneath the distant and cold appearance lies an extremely indifferent heart. At that time, Tang Ruize thought that Lin Jingshuo was very easy to deal with. In other words, as long as he gave enough benefits, Lin Jingshuo would fulfill his obligations perfectly.
But later, he only worried about his dad.
He couldn't help but think: "Can such a person really fall in love with someone else?"
Tang Ruize was not quite sure what caused Lin Jingshuo's personality, but he could still tell the difference between close and distant relatives. He only needed to care about his father's affairs.
