Lin Ji Yang kicked open the meeting room door, closed it behind him, and said, "I say Ning Zesheng, don’t really take me as your supervisor. We’re supposed to be partners; can’t we show each other some courtesy?"
"Long time no see, Tong Ji Yang!"
Lin Ji Yang shuddered upon hearing the voice, then froze in place, staring at the man who had been sitting on the chair looking out the window, watching him slowly swivel the chair around.
On that face which could overthrow nations, there was a faintly discernable smile! High above like a king, looking down upon the world!
"Lu... Lu!" Lin Ji Yang muttered to himself, gritting his teeth as he was on the verge of tears. Then he looked up, smiling cheekily as he ran over, bowing and bending over as he asked, "Little Uncle! How come you have time to visit me? Oh, would you like tea or a drink, or perhaps juice?"
Lin Ji Yang snapped his fingers, "Oh, definitely coffee! I’ll go get you some coffee!"
"Stop right there!" At the casual command, Lin Ji Yang was so shocked that he seemed nailed to the spot, not daring to move! Then he turned back and asked, "Little Uncle, is there anything else you’d like?"
"Who is your Little Uncle?" Lu Beichen said with an unchanged expression, "I can’t bear that title!"
"You can bear it, you can bear it! Gu Xiyao calls you Little Uncle, so I should call you Little Uncle too, shouldn’t I?" He no longer had his usual arrogant demeanor, rubbing his hands, asking somewhat helplessly, "Little Uncle, what do you need from me?"
"Xi Yao has been back so long, hasn’t she come to the Tong Family to see you?"
Another punch here, another punch there; Tong Ji Yang was utterly baffled, cautiously replying, "You know, since joining this industry, I hardly ever go home! I don’t even know if she’s back, let alone whether she’s gone to the Tong Family."
"Oh?" He raised an eyebrow, "It seems you truly aren’t informed!"
"Informed about what?" Tong Ji Yang felt he had exhausted all his smiles in front of this wicked man.
Lu Beichen pointed with composure at the news on the screen, all leaked photos of him and Ji Niandong. Read complete versıon only at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥
"Informed indeed! I’m aware of these news stories! Little Uncle, it’s not worth coming to me over this, is it?" He was startled, "Unless my dad sent you, sent you here?"
He kept up his smile.
Every time Lu Beichen’s fingers tapped on the conference table, his heart skipped a beat, "Do you know that I’m married?"
"Of course I know, didn’t you announce it to the world on the radio?" Lin Ji Yang replied awkwardly, overwhelmed, speaking with this person was too overwhelming, never knowing what he’d say next, and worrying about dire consequences if he said something wrong!
"This is my spouse, Mrs. Lu!" Lu Beichen said casually.
"Who is it?!" Lin Ji Yang asked, only to realize, "Oh my god, I say she has a strong background, but I didn’t expect it to be this strong!"
No wonder he announced the marriage during her interview, no wonder Ada signed her directly, always choosing blockbuster roles for her, no wonder activities were halted last time he provoked that woman...
Turns out, turns out, turns out she’s Lu Beichen’s wife!
Tong Ji Yang’s emotions shifted from shock to excitement, to skepticism, then to... how could this happen? A thousand alpacas galloped through his mind.
"You’re not joking, are you? She’s so young, she’s not even older than Gu Xiyao, is she?" Lin Ji Yang plopped down on the chair beside him, eyes fixed on those candid photos.
After a good while, he asked again, "Is she really Mrs. Lu?"
"Indeed, otherwise why would you come all this way to give me such a hard time over this trivial matter!"
"Weren’t you just calling me Little Uncle?"
