Chapter 137 No Answer, That's Acquiescence
The two gossip reporters' backs froze instantly.
It’s true, you can’t talk about people during the day and you can’t talk about ghosts at night.
It just so happened that whoever they were picking crickets with was right there.
"Why didn't you say he was there too?" Lu Shiman's chin almost touched his neck, staring at Ji Linshen sideways, like a stupid roe deer with its butt poked.
"Come on, two reporters, come and interview me directly." Huo Beiyan sat down, crossed his long legs casually, leaned back on the sofa, and stared at the two people with lowered eyes.
Lu Shiman and Qin Jiaojiao looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Why, the person involved gave you a chance, but you don't want it?" Huo Beiyan leaned sideways, put his finger on his temples, and said with a smile.
Qin Jiaojiao had been holding it in for many days and was too lazy to care about it: "Huo Beiyan, is your white moonlight Ji Linshen?"
"You've had a crush on him for years, haven't you?"
"You married me to hide the fact that you like Ji Linshen, right?"
"Huo Beiyan, sir, dare you tell me the truth today?"
Lu Shiman made an "oh" sound with his mouth in shock and silently gave Qin Jiaojiao a thumbs up.
So brave, worthy of being Brother Yong in "Forever Separated from Heaven".
A few questions knocked Huo Beiyan unconscious.
Qin Jiaojiao's words were so certain, so certain that even Ji Linshen, who was half the party involved, began to doubt it.
Huo Beiyan's expression gradually became strange.
Could it be that this guy saved me because he fell in love with me?
He treats Huo Beiyan as a brother, and Huo Beiyan treats him as his secret crush?
The fact that he has liked Qin Jiaojiao for many years is just a smokescreen, and she actually has bad intentions towards him?
After being bombarded with questions, Huo Beiyan was completely stunned.
Qin Jiaojiao's tone and expression were very firm, as if she had caught herself and Ji Linshen in bed.
"Huo Beiyan, just because you don't say anything, you agree, right?" Qin Jiaojiao became emotional, her eyes a little red.
"Also?" Huo Beiyan was even more confused.
Qin Jiaojiao sniffed: "Manman and I found the evidence. Yesterday, you skipped me and Manman and directly asked Ji Linshen what he wanted to eat tonight?"
Lu Shiman nodded: "That's right, this kind of unintentional behavior can best reflect your inner thoughts."
Huo Beiyan: "???"
He now felt as powerless as a widow who was slandered for her dirty deeds. It was like she had mouths all over her body, but she couldn't explain herself to anyone except a hollow piece of wood.
Ji Linshen is just watching the show now. He doesn't review documents or reply to emails.
"Wait, Qin Jiaojiao, tell me first, what caused you to have such an outrageous and absurd idea?"
Qin Jiaojiao decisively reached out and pointed at Lu Shiman: "Manman asked if Ji Linshen is your white moonlight."
"Ji Linshen agreed."
Ji Lin, who was eating melons, had a face full of questions.
When did he acquiesce?
Huo Beiyan laughed in anger: "Boss Ji, you're using me as a laborer, spending my money, and spreading rumors about me. You're busy enough, aren't you?"
After looking at Lu Shiman deeply for a few times, Ji Linshen sighed helplessly. He should have thought of this earlier. This was such an outrageous yet strangely reasonable guess.
Qin Jiaojiao alone cannot complete the closed loop.
With such a special train of thought, how could his Lu Shiman not be involved?
"Lu Shiman, when did I agree?"
Lu Shiman felt the wind blowing towards her, lowered her head and played with her fingers, and said weakly: "In the car that day, I asked you if you were Huo Beiyan's white moonlight."
"You didn't answer, which means you agreed."
Ji Linshen recalled that day, the day when the shares were transferred, and he thought he had heard it wrong.
Besides, isn’t it because of her that I didn’t answer?
This can't be blamed on me, Ji Linshen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.
Huo Beiyan's chest was heaving violently. He had discovered that Qin Jiaojiao's talent for irritating people increased a hundredfold when she met Lu Shiman.
Qin Jiaojiao and Lu Shiman looked at each other and then lowered their heads.
Sure enough, I should get the actual evidence and then confront them.
The evidence is incomplete now and it is difficult to be convincing.
Huo Beiyan guzzled several cups of tea before he managed to suppress the raging anger.
He took a deep breath and said, "Qin Jiaojiao, do you think I'm crazy?"
Qin Jiaojiao nodded first, then shook her head: "Sometimes it's normal, sometimes it's abnormal."
"How abnormal is my brain that I like something like this when you don't like it?" Huo Beiyan pointed at Ji Linshen.
Double insult in one word.
"Ji Linshen, is he scolding us?"
Ji Lin chuckled softly: "At times like this, you are exceptionally smart."
"Huo Beiyan, you're a moron. What kind of thing can a moron secretly love? A moron will only secretly love idiots!" Lu Shiman retorted, tilting his head to comfort Qin Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, don't be angry. Anyone who can be secretly loved by a moron is not a normal creature."
Qin Jiaojiao nodded vigorously: "Manman, you are right."
Huo Beiyan covered his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Her silly wife, after being sold, still had to speak on behalf of others, saying that the selling price was too little and that they could increase the price.
Only at this moment did Ji Linshen finally realize why Lu Shiman could play with Qin Jiaojiao.
"How do you know that I have a crush on someone else?" Huo Beiyan restrained his smile, stood up and walked to Qin Jiaojiao.
"I found your love letter. The handwriting is ugly and the words are pretentious. I give it a bad review." Qin Jiaojiao did not forget to comment on it.
Huo Beiyan thought about it and it should be the one that was sandwiched in the book.
"Have you finished looking through your study?"
Qin Jiaojiao shook her head: "I went to watch Brother Lu remove the plaster, and I haven't had time to turn it over yet."
Huo Beiyan picked up Qin Jiaojiao and said, "Go back now and search. I'll watch you search. You must turn the study upside down."
"I won't translate it. I don't want to see more love letters with ugly handwriting and pretentious language." Qin Jiaojiao protested.
"No, you must see it, Qin Jiaojiao, since you have only found the tip of the iceberg, dig out the whole iceberg for me."
"I'm afraid I'll get crushed to death, so I won't dig."
"I'll hold it for you."
“…”
The conversation between the two gradually faded away. Lu Shiman looked at their disappearing backs, curled her lips, and turned to look at Ji Linshen.
"So rude. He left without even saying goodbye or bye."
Ji Linshen was touched by her cute appearance and stood up and walked to her.
"Lu Shiman, now is the time to settle our accounts." He leaned over and put Lu Shiman between the chair and himself.
"What grudge can we have? I didn't say Huo Beiyan was your white moonlight. Besides, since you didn't answer, I must have acquiesced." Lu Shiman leaned back, trying to keep some distance from him.
"If you don't answer, then you definitely agree, right?" Ji Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, a calculation flashing across his eyes.
"Ji Linshen, do you know what acquiescence means?" Lu Shiman picked up her phone and searched for the word acquiescence. She cleared her throat and read it to her: "Acquiescence means acknowledging something without saying it out loud. It also means expressing agreement or letting something go silently."
"So, not answering means you agree?"
Lu Shiman nodded.
Ji Linshen's smile widened, the prey had taken the bait.
