Flashy Circle 3

Airport.The lights are bright and people come and go.

He Xiutong sat on a corner of the bench in the central area, dejected.

For some reason, he recklessly took the plane and ran back, and somehow his wallet was stolen as soon as he got off the plane, making him penniless now, and finally he used the airport security phone to call Ling Shang for help.

He shrank back, making himself look non-existent.

When Ling Shang came to the airport, he recognized He Xiutong's appearance immediately.

On the way here, he called his secretary, who reported that the French internship team had three days off recently and could move freely.

"His roommate said that he left in a hurry when the holiday just started, without leaving a message."

Sure enough, creatures like Kappa are beyond human comprehension.

He Xiutong stared down at his old and dirty shoe tips, feeling disgusted with himself.

Suddenly, a pair of shiny leather shoes appeared in front of him, shaking his vision.

"Why did you run back all of a sudden?" The voice rang above his head, and He Xiutong's eyes felt hot for some reason.

So, when he raised his head, what Ling Shang saw was a tearful Kappa.

Weird.

After all, it took more than ten hours of flying to get back here.

Ling Shang sighed, sat down beside him, and said softly, "What's wrong?"

He Xiutong didn't know where to start, so he could only shake his head desperately.

The two sat in silence for a few seconds, Ling Shang patted his head, "Okay, let's solve your wallet problem first."

When he got up, He Xiutong got up with him; when he left, He Xiutong followed him.

The fabric of the suit Ling Shang is wearing must be very good.

Because He Xiutong discovered that it could reflect the light in the airport, and gradually outlined the outline of Ling Shang's shoulders and back.

Wide and solid, straight, giving people a sense of security.

Such a person is probably only worthy of the beautiful lady of the Qi family.

During this period of time, the matter of Ling Shang and Qi Yuan was more or less mentioned on all Chinese websites.

He Xiutong is far away in France, and can only get closer to his motherland through the Internet.

Therefore, he wanted to act like a tortoise huddled in its shell and pretend that he didn't know about it.

When he first saw the news, he couldn't recover for a long time.

For some reason, in the next few days, he desperately searched for relevant text content and video interviews about this scandal, in an attempt to confirm the authenticity.

But the two parties have always maintained an ambiguous attitude.

He Xiutong was frequently distracted in the restaurant, and after being scolded by the chef, he punished him to wash the dishes all day long.

In the evening, he got tired on the bus and went home.

Turning the head and looking out the window, there are bright neon lights flashing on both sides of the long street in Paris, which is gorgeous and colorful.

But He Xiutong suddenly felt that his whole body was empty, and large swathes of desolation and sorrow suddenly surged up inexplicably, and he couldn't stop it.

He wants to see him.

He wants to go back.

But what can you do if you see him?Even Jiang Junsen didn't want him, so how could Ling Shang care about him?

But when I realized that there was a small bud sprouting in my heart, the root of love had already been planted.The small buds grow wildly, comparable to poppies, and there are hallucinogenic drugs inside, which makes people have delusions.

The three-day holiday is coming.Maybe it was just a momentary thought, but he has already put it into action.

He Xiutong tidied up roughly without explaining to others, and bravely ran to the airport to catch a plane back home.

I always knew that I was weak and incompetent, but I didn't know that I would be so impulsive and reckless.

Sitting on the plane, he asked himself: Why on earth did he come back?

Now, He Xiutong looked at Ling Shang's back.

Maybe, maybe, he just wanted to find out if the other party was going to be with Miss Qi, and if he was going to give up again.

Ling Shang came to the security office in the airport lobby and knocked twice on the open door.

The staff inside stopped and looked at him.

"Sorry to bother you. Is your person in charge here?"

Someone recognized him with sharp eyes, but they were not quite sure, so they carefully confirmed, "Excuse me, are you...?"

"Ling Shang." Simple answer.

"Mr. Ling, please sit down. Please wait a moment, the director is checking upstairs, we will go to him right away."

"Mr. Ling, do you have anything to do? We can look for information before the director arrives."

He Xiutong sat down with Ling Shang and watched the staff bring them tea.

When he got off the plane to claim his luggage, he was squeezed and his wallet disappeared.He reported the case to the airport security, who politely asked him to fill out several forms and asked him a few questions, but he was not eloquent, and I wondered if the other party understood. Finally, the other party smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will go to the airport." After the prisoner is caught and the lost property is found, we will contact you immediately."

He really wanted to ask, can't we find clues to arrest people now?

The other party saw his doubts and continued to smile, "I'm sorry, we have many similar cases on hand, and we plan to deal with them together. There is a phone number here, you can contact your relatives or friends to pick you up first. As soon as we have news, we will immediately calling you."

He was embarrassed to trouble others, so he called obediently.

Ling Shang smiled slightly, "My friend had his wallet stolen just after he got off the plane. There are important items in the wallet, so I hope you can help me find the lost item as soon as possible."

"This must be! This is also our responsibility!" The director who spoke was a strong man in his early 50s, with a loud voice and a very heavy appearance.

Sometimes, high efficiency is reflected in this kind of place.The staff immediately pulled out the surveillance video and asked He Xiutong to identify it.

"Don't worry, you two, we will find the wallet as soon as possible." The director assured.

"That's good." Ling Shang thanked politely, "Thank you. We will catch up in the airport cafe for the next three hours and hope to get good news before we leave."

Leaving the security office, He Xiutong was a little worried, "Can I, can I get it back in three or three hours?"

Ling Shang raised the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, I'll definitely get it back." If they can't get it back, they'll figure it out even if they do tricks.

"Otherwise, how could they be worthy of us generous taxpayers." Laughing a bit wickedly.

He Xiutong blinked, not quite understanding Ling Shang's words.But Ling Shang's expression was so familiar and vivid that he really had the feeling of "coming back".

very nice.

And Ling Shang said he was his "friend".

He Xiutong felt that his chest was filled with indescribable emotions, which made his nose sour.

"What's the matter?" Noticing his expression, Ling Shang raised his eyebrows.

He shook his head and smiled, "I'm just, just high, happy."

"Of course you have to be happy, and you have to be grateful to Dade, otherwise I will be on the stage for nothing." Ling Shang put on the airs of an uncle, "Let's go, go to the coffee shop."

"Well, thanks, thank you..."

Ling Shang calculated the time, and it took more than a day to go to and from Paris.He Xiutong would have to go back after dinner at most, otherwise the holiday would be over.

So he opted for a quick fix at an airport restaurant.

"Okay, now let's talk about why you came back suddenly?"

"I..." Of course he couldn't tell the truth, He Xiutong faltered, glanced at Ling Shang, then lowered his head, "I...I, I think, miss home."

"..." Ling Shang tapped his finger on the armrest of the chair, "He Xiutong, look up at me."

He Xiutong covered the hot tea cup with both hands, and looked up at him timidly.

After a while, Ling Shang asked, "Did you not get bullied in France?"

"No, no." He shook his head frantically again, "I'm, there, very, very good..." Compared with when I first went to France, the current situation is indeed much better.In addition to adapting to the environment, he also met a grandfather-level compatriot friend there, and he already felt very satisfied.

"That's good. I've got someone to book a plane ticket for you. After dinner, you go back to Paris and finish the rest of the internship."

This means that he can only spend a few hours with Ling Shang.Not without loss.

"Oh...yes, I'm sorry, and, I've caused you trouble again..."

The dialogue he said most to Ling Shang was either "thank you" or "sorry".

No one wants such a "friend".

"Don't think too much. I still expect you to come back to be a chef in the hotel. Don't teach me to come back with half a bucket of water, you know?"

He Xiutong looked up, surprised, "B-chef? Really, really?"

"Really." Ling Shang took a sip of coffee, "I told you before going abroad that I wanted to cultivate my own influence. When you return from your studies, of course you will be entrusted with important responsibilities."

He wanted to ask "Can I?", but just at this moment Ling Shang glanced at him, as if warning him not to speak in frustration, so he swallowed back the words and took a breath, "I, I will, come on! "

Ling Shang put down his cup, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little, expressing his satisfaction with the answer.

Seeing Ling Shang happy, He Xiutong was also happy.

That's enough.

The airport is full of people and people, and there is plenty of light.

He Xiutong felt warm in his heart.

Next, although he stuttered and sometimes lacked logic, he still couldn't help but want to expand what he experienced in France from a few simple sentences in the email to a long paragraph.

And Ling Shang could also understand what he meant, interjecting a few words from time to time.

"You, you are amazing. Grandpa Cheng sometimes doesn't, can't finish, fully understands what I want to say." "Grandpa Cheng" is the grandfather he met when he was an intern in a French restaurant. Lai is also a very powerful person, and they are good friends now.

Ling Shang smiled, "I can't help it, I'm too smart."

He Xiutong couldn't tell what was going on, but Ling Shang's words and his demeanor were like a kitten's paw, scratching his heart, a little itchy, a little wanting to laugh, but more of a liking.

I really want to know more about him.

"...Then, what about you? How, how have you been recently?" He Xiutong summoned up his courage and asked.

"It's pretty good. After the addiction of being in the headlines, I also made enough money." Ling Shang used a knife to cut the snacks brought by the waiter into small pieces.

He Xiutong's heart skipped a beat, "...that, that, you and that, that Miss Qi..."

At this time, the director of the security office walked in happily, "Sorry to bother you two."

"Mr. He, you found your wallet. Check, is it this?" He handed a gray wallet to He Xiutong.

"Yes, it's this! You, you found, found it! Thank you, thank you!" He Xiutong happily took the wallet and kept thanking him.

Ling Shang looked at his watch with a smile on his face, "Did you lose anything in your wallet?"

Hearing this, He Xiutong looked inside and out.The dozens of euros he brought back from Paris are still there.

"No, I didn't lose it."

"That's good, that's good." The director answered with a nod, and wiped the sweat from his forehead along the way.

"Thank you very much this time." Director Ling Shangchao smiled, "It seems that our airport has a high-quality security team."

"That's because the top leaders are good. If Mr. Ling meets them, remember to say something nice for us..."

After the courtesies are over, the director exits.

"He, they are really, really strong, powerful!" He Xiutong continued to praise.

Ling Shang just smiled and said nothing.Just let the simple kappa keep thinking like this.

Due to time constraints, they wandered around the airport after leaving the cafe.

It was midsummer, and even in the afternoon, it was still sultry.

Ling Shang had already taken off his coat and rolled up his sleeves.

"No, it's not as good as me, let's get in the car, sit in the car..." How to repair Tong Tong, he also knew that Ling Shang was not used to walking around in the hot weather.

Ling Shang looked at him, "Isn't it because you ran back so hard because you were homesick? Take a good breath of the air here, and you can't do this again next time."

Not only do I miss home, but I miss you even more.

Such a blunt and provocative thought suddenly rushed into his mind, He Xiutong was caught off guard and blushed.

He quickly lowered his head and responded with an "um".

That's fine for now.He Xiutong didn't dare to ask any more questions.He was afraid that such a precious time would be ruined by his stupid question.

Dinner is over.The time of parting is coming.

"Hold your ticket, don't forget your passport." Ling Shang handed him the ticket and told him.

"Thank you." After receiving the ticket, He Xiutong was surprised that it was first class. "This, this is too much..."

"Don't worry, it will be deducted slowly from your salary in the future." Ling Shang looked at him, "Have a good sleep on the plane, and you will arrive in Paris the next day."

"Oh……"

Ling Shang's thoughtfulness made him even more reluctant to leave.

He Xiutong lowered his head and stared at his old and dirty shoe tips.In view, there is another pair of shiny leather shoes.

I'm afraid I'll never be good enough for each other.

Obviously knowing that there is no hope, but the crazily growing buds have grown taller and thicker, and they can't even pull out the roots.

He Xiutong never thought that he would like someone other than Jiang Junsen.I never thought that the feeling of "like" can go to a deeper level.

The boarding announcement sounded.

Ling Shang's voice was above his head, "Okay, get ready to enter the gate."

For some reason, He Xiutong's eyes became hot.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that he was still bowing his head, Ling Shang asked.

He Xiutong shook his head desperately.

He patted his head lightly, "Silly Kappa, I'll be back soon."

"Yes, I'm sorry..." He Xiutong sniffed, raised his face, his eyes were red, "I, I will work hard there, hard work!"

He puffed out his thin chest and said this.

It is pitiful for no reason.

"I know you will." Ling Shang nodded.

Finally, he asked, "...Did you want to ask me about my relationship with Qi Yuan in the coffee shop?"

Question just before the security chief came in.He Xiutong nodded vigorously.

"She used to be my girlfriend, but now, we are just ordinary friends. That kiss was for business interests."

He Xiutong didn't understand why a kiss was put together with commercial interests, but Ling Shang said that he and Miss Qi were just ordinary friends.

"...You, don't you, won't be together?" He asked.

"No." Ling Shang said frankly.

It's like seeing the sun through the fog.Flowers can even bloom in tears.

He Xiutong stared blankly at Ling Shang.

Finally, Ling Shang called back his soul, "You are really going to get on the plane."

He blushed and said goodbye.

Turning around for a moment, my heart relaxed inexplicably.

Ling Shang watched him leave until the figure disappeared.

He Xiutong's mind is so easy to understand, how could Ling Shang not know that he likes him.

This was originally part of the plan.It just seems a little despicable now.

Ling Shang rarely felt a little unbearable.

Might be really old.When He Xiutong was staring at him just now, he actually thought that there is nothing wrong with being with the Kappa.

He can understand his silly thoughts, he can see through his clumsy cover-up, and he can also feel his pure feelings.

There is really nothing wrong with being with He Xiutong.

When leaving the airport, Ling Shang called Ning Haiteng.

In the night, the black Lincoln slowly stopped in front of him.Ling Shang asked his own driver to drive back, and got into Ning Haiteng's car by himself.

"How is things going?" Ning Haiteng asked after sitting in the back seat.

"all the best."

Ning Haiteng nodded.Recently, Southeast Asia is about to move around, so it's best not to have any problems with the plan here.

The car starts.

"...Tell me, how did we come up with such a bad plan?" Ling Shang asked suddenly.

Ning Haiteng turned to look at him, "...are you starting to regret it?"

"For He Xiutong, there is a little bit."

Ning Haiteng was silent for a while.Then, he asked, "Are you attracted to him?"

tempted? "I don't know." Ling Shang shook his head.

After a while.Ning Haiteng suddenly asked a question, "Ling Shang, if He Xiutong and Luo Zixin were asked to choose a partner, which one would you choose?"

I'm really sorry Zi Xin.To compare him with He Xiutong, to regard him as an option for Ling Shang.

It was Ling Shang's turn to look at Ning Haiteng. "……What's the meaning?"

Ning Haiteng shrugged, "No, just use an extreme contrast to see your taste."

"...boring." Ling Shang glanced at him, but did not answer the question.

Ning Haiteng smiled silently.He knew that Ling Shang would not answer this question.But if Ling Shang really cared about Luo Zixin, based on what he knew about him, he would naturally guess why he asked this question.

Luo Zixin's mind is difficult to guess, and Ning Haiteng is not sure that now is the time for him, a bystander, to tell Ling Shang his feelings for the other party.So, a little hint is enough.

I hope Ling Shang will not go in the wrong direction.

-

It was night, and Ling Shang was soaking in the outdoor jacuzzi, with his hands resting on the edge of the bathtub, overlooking the bright night view of the city.

"Ling Shang, if He Xiutong and Luo Zixin were asked to choose a partner, which one would you choose?"

Ning Haiteng is not the kind of person who would say nonsense on a whim.

Therefore, his question is like a myriad of threads in the darkness - densely entwined and intertwined, yet vaguely obscured from its true meaning.If you plunge into it, it's like falling into a maze. If you can't find a way out, you may end up in a dead end.

The best way is to ignore it, treat it as a cloud of smoke, and blow it away.

Ling Shang got up from the water, pulled a towel around his body and walked indoors.The butler had already exchanged the vodka and handed it to him respectfully.

After taking a sip of ice wine, my whole body felt refreshed.

It's been a busy day today, so get some sleep.

Falling down on the big bed, Ling Shang closed his eyes.

What came to my mind was today's Luo Zixin's hot eyes, as if trying to melt him, and then suck his bones dry.

It makes people feel creepy.

Ling Shang opened his eyes.Maybe it's just dissatisfaction.He himself is, and so is Luo Zixin.

"Ling Shang, if He Xiutong and Luo Zixin were asked to choose a partner, which one would you choose?"

The problem came up again.Ling Shang turned around.

Ning Haiteng is really hateful.It seemed that he knew something inside and made it up to him.

He will never ask him.I asked, but it seemed that I cared.Moreover, even if this kind of question has deep meaning, how deep can it go?

It's better to sleep with your head covered.

But there seems to be a snail's horn touching the heart, the contact area is not large, but it is sticky, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

In case, there is a one-in-a-million chance, if Luo Zixin feels more than friendship towards him...

Ah.I also have feelings for him that go beyond friendship, but that is not "love".

It's just greedy for freshness, but I didn't get it.

Because they stand shoulder to shoulder with each other, the male's desire to pursue conquest is stronger.

But after succeeding, the desire is satisfied and the novelty disappears. What else is there between them?Will their friendship be the same as before?

Do not say goodbye is also a friend.When the song ends, there will always be regrets and sighs, and even more, hatred.

Luo Zixin might be able to wave his sleeves and retreat completely.

Ling Shang got out of bed and drank the remaining vodka.

But what about yourself?

Ling Shang put down his wine glass.

Perhaps, he would crawl at Luo Zixin's feet and kiss his toes.Being stepped on by his head and pressed into the mud, he is also very happy, and he is also worried that the other party's feet will be injured by it.

The biggest ugly thing is this.

Therefore, which one to choose between He Xiutong and Luo Zixin, the answer is obvious.

-

When He Xiutong returned to Paris, he was full of energy, like a Duracell rabbit that had just finished charging, busy in and out of the restaurant, very happy.

His changes all fell into the eyes of an old man.

On this day, after finishing his day shift, he went to "Grandpa Cheng"'s house for lunch.

-

Speaking of the acquaintance with Grandpa Cheng, He Xiutong can only describe it as "surprise".

Grandpa Cheng is over 80 years old, thin, deeply wrinkled, wearing a dark Tang suit, and his eyes are still sharp through the lens.His lips were thin and his chin was sharp, and when he was silent, he was easily contemptuous.

But he really didn't like to talk, so he just ordered a cup of black tea and sat in the restaurant all afternoon.Sometimes the black tea doesn't suit the taste, he frowned and glanced at the waiter, who felt chills down his back, and hurriedly offered him another cup.

So Grandpa Cheng was known as the "Devil Old Man" among the waiters.

When He Xiutong first came to France, because of poor eloquence and language barrier, he stayed in the kitchen all the time.After finally being able to get out of the store, the team leader ordered him to greet the devil old man, "He is a Chinese, you can't say it, you can always understand what the other party is saying, right?"

In desperation, He Xiutong tremblingly went over to place an order for the old man.Unexpectedly, after the latter glanced at him, his eyes widened suddenly, his face changed completely, he stood up abruptly from his seat, pointed at him tremblingly and wanted to say something, and the old man covered it before he could even utter a word. Heart, as if sick, so frightened that He Xiutong froze there, not knowing what to do.Fortunately, other staff came over immediately, some helped the old man, some called the emergency, the scene was a mess.

After the old man was sent away, He Xiutong couldn't explain clearly, so he was reprimanded by the team leader and manager innocently, and finally went back to the kitchen to stay.

He didn't tell Ling Shang about these things.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the old man returned to the restaurant and asked He Xiutong to come and place an order.

"Sorry, I scared you that day." The old devil's voice was dry and hoarse, a little frightening.

He Xiutong shook his head hastily, "You, you're not, if you're fine, it'll be fine."

The old man stuttered when he heard him speak, frowned at him for a while, and sighed, "Or order me a cup of black tea."

"Yes, it is."

When the tea was served, the old man told him to call the manager.

After that, he was able to work as a waiter in the store again.

He Xiutong often placed orders for the old man who came to drink afternoon tea, and after a few visits, he gradually became acquainted with the old man, who allowed him to call him "Grandpa Cheng".

Grandpa Cheng came to France to recuperate, and this restaurant is where he and his wife met.Every day, he would walk a certain distance to drink a cup of black tea here in the city.

Grandpa Cheng also took He Xiutong to his house for dinner.He Xiutong walked with the old man for a while, and found that there was a car waiting for them early in the morning, and the driver respectfully opened the door for them.

The car drove slowly towards the outskirts of Paris, with towering plane trees on both sides of the road. From time to time, hares ran out of the road, jumped into the opposite grass after a few jumps.

When arriving at the destination, He Xiutong rubbed his eyes.Grandpa Cheng's home is a manor on the outskirts of Paris, with singing birds and green grass, and vines growing vigorously in the backyard.

"Grandpa Cheng, you, your home is very, very big, very, very beautiful!" He exclaimed.

Grandpa Cheng didn't say anything, but the housekeeper at the side said to him with a smile, "If Mr. He likes it, he can come here often, so that he can be his companion."

He Xiutong felt embarrassed at first, but after eating an authentic Chinese meal, he had no choice but to agree.Being able to eat an authentic hometown meal in a foreign country can be called a "luxury".

"The dishes in Chinatown are too standard and bright, without the gloom and softness in the bones of the Chinese people, and they don't taste good." Grandpa Cheng said this.

After getting in touch with the old man, He Xiutong found that the other person was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Although he didn't talk much, it didn't mean he didn't know the situation.He Xiutong was surprised by how familiar he was with Grandpa Cheng.Except that he was a little afraid of him at first, he felt more close to this elder.

He also began to talk about his affairs with the old man, of course, concealing the fact that he liked men.But when it came to the later stage, he couldn't control it, most of the content was about Ling Shang.

Grandpa Cheng always listened silently.By the end, he hit the nail on the head, "You like him? A man?"

He Xiutong was stunned.He blushed, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it. Finally, he lowered his head and said habitually, "...Yes, I'm sorry..."

The old man's face was very ugly, and there was a storm about to come around him.

After that, Grandpa Cheng didn't come to the restaurant or contact him for two weeks.

He Xiutong was very annoyed.What he should pay attention to is that he is an old man after all, and he definitely has opinions on "homosexuality".

After being lost for a while, one night, Grandpa Cheng's housekeeper came to him, "Mr. He, are you free now? The master was ill before, and he just got better today. He is an old man in a foreign land. I'm afraid he is very special at this time Lonely, would you like to accompany him?"

"Good, good."

When He Xiutong went to the old man's room, he saw the old man leaning against the head of the bed while the servant fed him medicine.His hands lay dry on the white sheet, like broken branches.

An indescribable bitterness welled up in his heart, and He Xiutong couldn't help but shed tears.

"Man, why are you crying?" After noticing He Xiutong, Grandpa Cheng frowned, "Come here."

"Yes, I'm sorry..." He Xiutong went over and sat by the bed.He intuitively thought that he was the one who made the old man sick.

"Look at you, what do you look like?" The hoarse voice said, raising his dry hand to wipe his tears.

"Are you feeling, feeling better, better?"

The old man looked at He Xiutong and finally sighed, "...it's okay."

The butler stepped forward at this moment, "Master, Mr. He has specially made some snacks that you can eat. You haven't eaten much these days. Do you want to try it now?"

"Yes, yes, you, you have to make up, make up some nutrition, nutrition..."

Grandpa Cheng didn't speak, and waved his hand at the butler, who understood, "I'll bring it right away."

After that, the relationship between the two returned to the way it was before.

Until He Xiutong learned of the scandal between Ling Shang and Qi Yuan.

-

"You went back to China a while ago and saw that Ling Shang?"

After dinner at the old man's house, He Xiutong played Go with the old man.He has learned Go from Grandpa Cheng for a while, but he is still very clumsy so far.

"Your white one, go back and walk again." Grandpa Cheng pointed at the step he just took, and said.

He hurriedly took a step back, scratched his head, and took another step.He carefully looked up at the other person's expression, the old man did not speak, but agreed.He Xiutong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Well, I, I saw, saw him. He, he, specially, came to the plane, the airport help, help me find, get back my money, wallet, really, really He's a very, very, very, very nice guy."

"Then what's the relationship between him and that girl from the Qi family?"

"He, he and me, I said, he, they are, now only, just friends."

Grandpa Cheng asked while putting sunspots on the chessboard, "Are you happy?"

He Xiutong blushed, lowered his head and picked Bai Zi. "I... I, I don't, I don't know..."

The old man didn't ask any more questions.

After He Xiutong left.

The housekeeper brought a cup of ginseng tea to the old man. "Master, how about this? Mr. He really likes that Mr. Ling."

The old man weighed the lid of the cup, "I've read Ling Shang's information. The Ling family went on evil ways in Ling Hao's generation, and it got worse in his son's generation."

He took a sip of tea and closed the lid of the cup, "Ling Shang is not simple. But, as far as what he did for that silly boy, I still have to thank him."

"master……"

"Steward Fang," the old man looked at his hands, "I'm old. This body won't last long. It is the greatest gift from heaven to see him before I leave. As long as he is happy, I will be a grandfather." Yes, how much more can you count?"

The butler could only sigh lightly.

The old man's full name is Zhao Zhicheng.
