Chapter 130 Are You Also Joking with Ling Zhen?
Hu Nanzhen's tone changed. "Hey, forget about it for now. How about you? Is your hand okay?"
"It's okay." Ling Zhen's voice quickly became relaxed again. "It was just a bump. I'm not that fragile."
"I'm glad you're okay. By the way, your childhood sweetheart, maybe I'm just being overly suspicious, but I always feel like something's amiss. He seems a bit deliberate."
As the saying goes, a bystander sees more clearly than a participant.
Hu Nanzhen is not a fool. She is much smarter than Ling Zhen. She can see through Yi Xin's acting at a glance. When Ling Zhen looks at Yi Xin, she automatically puts on the filter of the childhood sweetheart whom she once had a crush on, so she didn't notice anything wrong at first.
Similarly, if Hu Nanzhen hadn't really liked Tang Shuya, she would have noticed Tang Shuya's perfunctory attitude towards her long ago.
Hu Nanzhen was genuinely concerned about Ling Yuan, which warmed her heart. "Well, you're right, so I postponed the wedding. I think such important events in life shouldn't be treated so hastily."
Seeing that Ling Zhen had finally gotten the point, Hu Nanzhen smiled with relief. "That's right. You can't go into the supermarket hungry, or you'll easily end up buying the wrong things."
"You're right. What about you? Did you go to the supermarket hungry? Can you really not have Tang Shuya?"
"I think I really like him and I really want to marry him. He is the first man who makes me want to get married."
The sweetness in Hu Nanzhen's voice was so strong that it could spread through the receiver into Ling Zhen's ears.
It's useless for people in love to say anything. Ling Zhen knew that nothing he said at this moment could stop Hu Nanzhen from liking Tang Shuya.
He has such a unique charm that makes people fall in love with him easily.
How terrible.
Hu Nanzhen asked, "Ling Zhen, do you know where I am now?"
"where?"
"I'm looking at venues for the engagement party. Originally, I wanted to come with Tang Shuya, but I heard his grandfather has been ill lately, and he's been running around a lot, which is really tiring, so I'm looking on my own."
Hearing this, Ling Zhen was stunned. Could it be that his grandfather has been unwell recently?
He never showed any worry or sadness in her presence.
He is a very secretive person, like a bottomless well. No matter what is thrown into it, it will disappear silently.
But these two days I have been leaving early and coming back late.
"If you think so, I feel relieved."
Hu Nanzhen could tell Ling Zhen wasn't in high spirits. "Why are you talking like my mother, always worrying about this and that?"
"No." Ling Zhen regained his composure, "I'm just worried that you'd feel left out."
Hu Nanzhen wanted to say something else, but she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye.
At first she thought she had seen it wrong.
When she saw his face clearly and the woman beside him, Hu Nanzhen's brows immediately frowned.
"Ling Zhen, I have something else to do now. I'll talk to you later."
Without waiting for Ling Zhen's response, Hu Nanzhen immediately hung up the phone. Wearing high heels and with the momentum of calling for an explanation, she shouted, "Yi Xin!"
Yi Xin turned around and saw Hu Nanzhen. His eyelids twitched, but he looked calm and unhurried as he said, "Miss Hu, what a coincidence."
Hu Nanzhen glanced at him coldly, then turned to stare at the woman beside Yi Xin, "Who is she?"
"Oh, let me introduce you. This is Miss Hu from the Hu family." Yi Xin smiled gently, turned his head to look at the woman beside him, then glanced at Hu Nanzhen and introduced, "This is Zhou Shuang."
Zhou Shuang was a pretty girl in her twenties, but she wasn't shy. She extended her hand generously and said in a sweet voice, "Hello, Miss Hu."
Hu Nanzhen glanced at the hand hanging in the air, unmoved. Her eyes swept sharply over Zhou Shuang several times, then she glanced coldly at Yi Xin, and instantly understood everything.
She rolled her eyes, raised her chin slightly, and asked, "Yi Xin, what's going on?"
"what?"
Hu Nanzhen looked impatient and pointed at Zhou Shuang. "Shouldn't you explain why you're here with a strange woman?"
This sentence made Zhou Shuang frown, and he stared at Yi Xin with his big eyes.
"Ms. Hu, you misunderstood." Yi Xin smiled wryly, "Things are not what you think."
Hu Nanzhen crossed her arms over her chest, her lips curled up in contempt, "What misunderstanding? Misunderstanding about you and her? Last night when you hugged me, you said you only loved me, calling me darling over and over again, and now you're calling me Miss Hu?"
As Hu Nanzhen spoke, her voice became much higher.
Zhou Shuang instantly lost her composure, and she shook off Yi Xin's hand, staring at him angrily, "Is what she said true?"
Yi Xin never expected that after playing with eagles all his life, he would end up being blinded by an eagle. His face turned pale in an instant, and something flashed across his eyes before he quickly returned to his harmless expression. "Ms. Hu, I heard that you are getting engaged to Mr. Tang. Please stop joking with me, okay?"
Hu Nanzhen sneered, "I'm kidding? What about Ling Zhen? Are you kidding her too?"
When Ling Zhen was mentioned, Yi Xin's calm and composed face finally showed a crack, and he was unable to answer.
Hu Nanzhen got angry when she saw Yi Xin like that. She snorted heavily, left after saying "scumbag", and turned away.
Zhou Shuang's sharp cry came from behind, "Yi Xin, you bastard, you look honest, but it turns out you're having multiple affairs!"
Then there was the sound of a bag hitting the body.
The corners of Hu Nanzhen's mouth twitched, and she felt very happy just by hearing the sound!
After she got in the car, she became more and more angry and regretted not taking a video as evidence. She took out her cell phone to send a message to Ling Zhen, but she felt it was too slow halfway through, so she called Ling Zhen directly.
There was a busy tone on the other end of the phone.
She felt a lump of anger stuck in her chest, and if she didn't find someone to talk to, she was about to feel suffocated. After thinking about it, she simply called Tang Shuya.
Seeing that he had some time in the afternoon, Tang Shuya simply returned to Jin Mansion early. At this moment, the two were in the master bedroom. He held Ling Yuan in his arms like a child, with her sitting on his lap, and was feeding Ling Yuan soup mouthful by mouthful.
When Hu Nanzhen called, he pushed his glasses, then placed the phone directly on the table in front of Ling Zhen and turned on the speaker.
"Shuya."
Ling Zhen already felt awkward. Her hand was sprained, but not disabled. However, Tang Shuya seemed addicted to feeding her food and insisted on sitting on his lap.
Now when she heard Hu Nanzhen's voice, she felt even more embarrassed. She was about to get off Tang Shuya's thighs, but he put his arms around her waist.
"what happened?"
Tang Shuya's voice was faint.
Hu Nanzhen asked, "Where are you?"
Ling Zhen pursed her lips tightly, looking at Tang Shuya with pleading eyes.
Tang Shuya frowned slightly, raised his hand to wipe the soup from Ling Zhen's lips, and said calmly, "I'm at the company. What's going on?"
