"I'm at the Lin Family's place." I felt inexplicably guilty.
Why does this feel like a spot-check?
Yu Longting and I have always communicated via WeChat; he has never called
before, this is the first ti.
He chooses neither to call early nor late but precisely at this mont.
Could it be... he knows sothing...
Yu Longting's voice was slightly cold, "On a blind date with Zhang Shuying?"
"Damn! You... found out so quickly? Did soone tip you off? Lin Hang??" I was angry.
That ten thousand yuan was like feeding a dog!!
Lin Hang kept on calling
'loyal dog', 'cousin'.
Turns out he was Yu Longting's little inside man; he must have found out that Lin Huan arranged a blind date for
and secretly told Yu Longting...
Ah, it infuriates
to no end!
Yu Longting asked, "Swearing?"
"What? Can't I?" I asked, fuming.
This level of snitching and stirring up trouble, this dog-like betrayal of one's own cousin, doesn't it deserve a swear word?
From the other end of the phone ca Yu Longting's clear, water-like chuckle, "It's fine, it's the first ti I've heard it, quite cute."
Hearing his pleasant laughter truly brought a sense of joy and relaxtion to both mind and body.
"Don't listen to Lin Hang's nonsense, Zhang Shuying caught Lin Gang and brought him back to the Lin Family, so he's at the Lin Family's place. There's no blind date or anything," I lied to Yu Longting in a hushed voice.
Once the matter of the blind date was settled as a fact.
I was afraid he'd drop everything and co back.
Yu Longting seized on the key point, "Why didn't you tell
about Lin Gang being at the Lin Family's place?"
"That matter isn't too important," I said evasively, "it just wasn't necessary to tell you specifically."
My main concern was that Yu Longting would be distracted at the sect for Lin Gang's sake, and would drop everything again to rush over.
Which is why I didn't ntion Lin Gang to Yu Longting on WeChat.
"Not important?"
Yu Longting repeated the question, calmly stating, "Given Lin Huan's temperant, he would order Lin Gang's execution; with Lin Gang's life threatened, he would definitely beco desperate. Who knows what he might do, and that's not important? You didn't say it because you were afraid of delaying my business? Wanwan, you're not being honest."
"Alright, since you've guessed it, I'll tell you everything." Seeing that Yu Longting guessed each point correctly, I told him about Lin Gang's scheduled execution two days later, "You're right about everything. As soon as Lin Gang returned to the sect, grandfather ordered his execution. With Lin Gang's cunning nature, he indeed wouldn't just sit and wait for death."
"In the future, you're not allowed to keep things from ."
Yu Longting warned, indicating that he would take care of the affairs at the sect before Lin Gang's execution and then co to the Lin Family.
He told
not to worry, that my affairs wouldn't burden his matters on his side.
Listening to him consider my situation so thoughtfully, my heart lted.
Embarrassed, I said thank you and hung up the phone.
Then, with a face full of apology, I walked back and said to Lin Huan and Zhang Shuying, "I apologize, grandpa, Third Master Zhang~ I was so rude to suddenly go take a call."
"Spiritual Eye Sister, why pretend to be polite in front of ?" Zhang Shuying propped his feet on the table, his long lashes obscuring his flirtatious peach-blossom eyes, looking sowhat gloomy, "Did Yu Longting ask about the Ancestral Fox Remnant Soul on the phone?"
"No, your finding Lin Gang is already enough," I gratefully said to Zhang Shuying, not wanting to trouble him any further.
Zhang Shuying rolled his eyes, "Enough my ass. Are you saying that since I've caught Lin Gang, there's no need to look for the Remnant Soul anymore?"
"Pretty much," I replied, feeling a bit resigned after seeing Lin Gang's state this ti, thinking that trying to get the Ancestral Fox Soul from Lin Gang was nearly as hard as ascending to heaven.
