not a decent stand-in

Xiang Yindong could tell that Grandpa wanted to get close to Su Yue, and the intention was self-evident.

I believe that it won't be long before the news of Xiang Su's marriage will spread all over the streets and alleys. At that time, it will be troublesome to explain.

But now that he has just returned to the company, the situation is still unstable, and the lie has already been told, so it is difficult to expose it immediately.

Xiang Yindong was depressed, and only hoped that the limelight would pass away as soon as possible, so that he could explain clearly to his grandfather.

Soon, on the Internet, on TV, and everywhere, there was news that Xiang Su's two families were married, and Zheng Hai's control was reversed.

But compared to the bustling imperial capital, City F is still peaceful at the moment.

After several days of investigation, Zuo Tong finally got Feng Sha's address, so he set off from City F early in the morning and arrived at a residential area in City G in the evening.

The weather in December is a bit cold, and at dinner time, every household is filled with the aroma of food.

Zuo Tong stood downstairs, hesitating for a while.

When he came out this time, he originally wanted to help Xiang Yindong find his biological mother, but after learning the truth of the matter, he gave up this idea.

The decision to come to G City in the end was entirely out of curiosity, to know what the woman who gave birth to Xiang Yindong looked like.

Soon, his handsome and tall appearance attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Among them was a woman in her 50s and [-]s who glanced at him several times as she passed in front of him.

The woman was tall, still slender, with a gentle appearance, followed by a young man in his twenties.

She kept muttering: "I told you to cool down today, so I don't know how to wear more!"

The young man muttered dissatisfiedly: "Mom, why are you so wordy, I'm not a child anymore!"

While the woman was looking at Zuo Tong, Zuo Tong also noticed them.

The woman asked curiously: "You don't live here, do you? Are you looking for someone?"

Zuo Tong nodded, feeling much calmer than he imagined.

This woman is Feng Sha, and he recognized it at a glance, she had a slight resemblance to Xiang Yindong between her brows, and she vaguely looked like the blurry photo in the County Public Security Bureau.

"Yeah, but I forgot who to look for..." Zuo Tong smiled slightly, and his tangled mood suddenly relaxed.

"Hey, there is such a thing?" Feng Sha smiled kindly, "Then you tell auntie, auntie will help you find it?"

"Mom!" Feng Sha's son interrupted her with a face full of embarrassment, "You really like to meddle in other people's business, do people want your help?"

"You child, how do you know if you don't ask?" Feng Sha glared at him.

"No, thank you, I don't think it's necessary anymore..."

"I'm sorry, my mother turned into a strange aunt when she saw the handsome boy!"

Feng Sha's son smiled and pressed the elevator button, causing his mother to beat him for a while.

The happy scene of mother and son remained in Zuo Tong's eyes.

With a barely audible sigh, he turned and left the apartment.

It might be better not to let Xiang Yindong see such a scene, after all, they each have their own lives.

When leaving from City G, Zuo Tong was in the noisy hall of the train station and saw the financial news that was raging in the imperial capital.

Xiang Yindong fended off the reporters, protected Su Yue and got into the black Bentley of Xiang's family, and walked away amidst the crowd's siege.

Zuo Tong suddenly felt a chill spreading down his spine.

At this moment, Zuo Zhiguo called.

"Uncle?"

"Xiao Tong, where are you?"

"G City Railway Station, I will return to the Imperial Capital later..."

"What are you doing in City G? Are you still checking that kid's background?" Zuo Zhiguo's tone was obviously not very good.

"Hmm..." Zuo Tong knew that his uncle had seen the news and was furious.

"Do you know what happened between him and that Su Yue?"

"I just found out, and I haven't asked him yet!" Zuo Tong frowned slightly. When he first saw the news, it would be a lie to say he wasn't shocked.

He was not surprised that Xiang Yindong used the white knight plan, but he did not expect that the relationship between Xiang Yindong and Su Yong was obviously much closer than he imagined.

Zuo Tong didn't know how to describe his feelings, even though everything might be just an expedient measure, he still couldn't accept it, he had to find out through the news that Xiang Yindong had become someone else's "fiancé".

"You ask Xiang Yindong clearly what's going on..." Zuo Zhiguo snorted, "If this kid knows Su Yuliang's identity and still does this, I really misread him!"

"Uncle, don't be angry, I will handle this matter well. Besides, I never told him about our grievances with the Su family..."

"Didn't tell him? Aren't you..." Zuo Zhiguo sighed, "Xiao Tong, what are you going to do now that things have become like this?"

"I don't know, I'll talk to him about..."

"Okay, if necessary, I will personally intervene in Shenghua's affairs!"

"No, uncle, you have just changed to a full-time job, it's better to be more cautious..."

After hanging up the phone, Zuo Tong felt as if something was pressing in his heart, and he found it difficult to breathe.

Leaving aside whether the matter between Xiang Yindong and Su Yong is true or not, it is an indisputable fact that he and Shenghua International teamed up to take back Zhenghai.

Should he tell Xiang Yindong about his grievances with Su Yuliang at this time?

If Xiang Yindong gave up cooperating with Su Yuliang because of him, what would Zhenghai do?

But if he didn't say anything, would he just watch Su Yuliang become Xiang Yindong's partner in such a blatant way?

Compared with these, there is another reason that makes him even more hesitant.

What if Xiang Yindong still chooses to continue cooperating with Su Yuliang after knowing everything?

Zuo Tong didn't dare to think about it, but only now did he clearly feel that he had never really believed that the two of them could be together forever.

He has warned himself countless times to cherish the time when two people are together, probably because he knows that the future is too long, and they may split up because of something at any time.

For example, now, even I feel that Su Yue is a more suitable partner for Xiang Yindong.

On the train back to the imperial capital, Zuo Tong kept looking at the thick night outside the window, unable to calm down.

Finally, he picked up the phone and called Xiang Yindong.

Counting it, the two of them hadn't seen each other for more than half a month, and Zuo Tong found that when he heard the other's voice, his heart was pounding with nervousness.

"Xiaotong? Are you looking for me? What's the matter?" Xiang Yindong's voice was obviously lowered.

"It's okay...can't find you?" Zuo Tong's beating heart sank to the bottom of the valley as if the pause button was suddenly pressed.

"How could it be..." Xiang Yindong turned his head and glanced at Su Yong who was chatting vigorously with the old man. Although he had a clear conscience, he always felt a faint sense of guilt.

He walked outside the house with the phone in his hand, and then asked in a normal tone, "Didn't you say you were on a business trip? Have you come back yet?"

Before Zuo Tong went to City F, he didn't tell Xiang Yindong his real purpose. On the one hand, he didn't want to disturb him in dealing with the company's affairs.

Of course, it's not that he didn't think about it. If there is any progress, he can surprise the other party when he comes back.

But all these thoughts changed after knowing about him and Su Yue.

"You have nothing to tell me?"

Zuo Tong didn't intend to go around in circles, and directly explained the reason for his call.

"You know it all?"

Xiang Yindong clearly heard Zuo Tong's dissatisfaction, but he was also in a dilemma at this time, and only hoped that the other party could understand, "I wanted to explain this matter to you later, but grandpa invited Su Yue to our house as a guest. I haven't seen him for a long time. He's so happy, so..."

"Okay, you don't need to explain to me..." Zuo Tong rubbed his sore eyes and leaned against the car window.

The night outside the train was so dark that no light could be seen, as if walking in boundless darkness.

"Things are really not what you think, Xiaotong, I have nothing to do with Su Yue, you have to trust me!" Xiang Yindong felt a little anxious when he heard that he didn't reply for a long time.

He really didn't deliberately not tell Zuo Tong about this, he just thought that Zuo Tong would not believe it at all, and it would not be too late to explain later.

But obviously, he overestimated their trust in each other.

"It has nothing to do with this matter, I just didn't expect that you would rather ask outsiders for help than let me help you..."

After saying this, Zuo Tong realized that, in fact, this matter had been on his mind for a long time.

Xiang Yindong has always been unwilling to let him participate in any Zhenghai affairs, even when he is most anxious.

"I just... don't want to involve you in these things, I..."

"Xiang Yindong, let me say it again, I'm not a woman!" Zuo Tong's tone changed, he tried his best to restrain his anger, and said word by word, "Don't protect me self-righteously! I don't need this kind of care!"

"You..." Xiang Yindong was inexplicably yelled at by him, and he was in a bad mood, "You know I didn't mean that!"

Zuo Tong was silent, but a woman's voice came from the phone, shouting: "Yin Dong, grandpa asked you to come in and eat some fruit!"

Xiang Yindong was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at Su Yue who was smiling at him standing at the door, and said in a low voice, "Calm down first, I'll go find you later..."

"No... I'm not in the imperial capital, go with your fiancée!"

After Zuo Tong finished speaking and hung up the phone, Xiang Yindong heard a beeping sound from the opposite side, and couldn't help but punched the wall.

At this time, Su Yue was standing behind him, curiously asked: "What's wrong?"

Xiang Yindong shook his head, turned around and walked into the room, and replied casually: "It's okay, let's go in, it's cold outside..."

The speeding train in the night brought Zuo Tong towards the imperial capital, but his heart gradually moved away.

He pulled up the clothes on his body, only to feel that the darkness was boundless.
