Chapter 571 - Proudly and Bitter (1/2)

”Oh. Alright.”

Tang Yin stood closer. This man clearly did not want to have a breakdown in public, like all other men who wanted face do. ”Now, let's pretend we are talking to each other.”

Lu Yin Ze nodded.

'Pretend' was a bit difficult because although they were no longer arguing and decided to be friends, they had nothing to talk about either.

Tang Yin could not stand just listening quietly to Lu Yin Ze's heavy breaths with his red face and his body constantly shaking.

She decided to just talk.

”How come you are at this state?”

”...I talked to my father.”

Tang Yin's eyes went wide.

”You probably does not know the true story. But I can tell you one thing that is absolutely true.” The dark grey lashes lowered. ”My biological father is really an evil man. So... I went there and cursed him.”

”You cursed him?” So daring! To curse one's own father!

”Yes, I told him to rot in hell,” Lu Yin Ze said with a hint of pride.

Tang Yin: ”...I give you my respect.”

It was a bit difficult to watch Lu Yin Ze boast about his glorious achievement with his body still trembling in fright.

It did not sound convincing at all.

Tang Yin chuckled. ”How does it feel, cursing your own father?”

The man lightly snorted. ”The word father only became his title simply because he is biologically related to me. He never fulfilled his responsibility nor bothered to bring me up. It's a title he does not deserve. Also, I don't feel guilty...with the things he had done...I would never felt guilty. I actually feel more relieved.”

”Right, beating and cursing that kind of sc.u.mbag will not let him receive any kind of pity in the world. You did right! Good job, bro.” Tang Yin gave him a thumbs up.

Lu Yin Ze felt a sense of accomplishment. His lips curled up a bit shyly.

Perhaps he should boast about this too to his grandfather and to Xiong Zhi.

The two continued to talk, until Lu Yin Ze's thumping heart slowly calmed down and his chilled and trembling body slowly returned to normal.

In the eyes of everyone, they only looked like they were having a conversation together, although there were some who felt that they were standing too close and a bit intimate.

Who would talk so long like that in close proximity unless they were lovers?

Finally, Lu Yin Ze could feel his feet again. ”I think I am alright now.”

”Are you sure? Try moving your feet.”

Lu Yin Ze followed her instruction and lightly flexed his foot one by one.

”Good, you can now walk. Let's go, make sure to keep close to me.”

Lu Yin Ze obediently nodded.

Tang Yin then said in a normal tone of voice. ”You want to check on your grandfather right now? Don't worry, he is with my grandmother. I will tell my butler to guide you there.”

So you people who are busy creating romance stories should stop now!

Tang Yin had good hearing too, ah.

She walked to the butler's area and Lu Yin Ze followed her.

The silver-haired man stared dazedly at the petite girl's back.

So small, yet she was very strong and reliable.

Also very forgiving and generous.

Lu Yin Ze strangely felt much better now.

It was not actually bad to have a new friend.

******

There was a terrifying silence in the car. Only the sounds of the box lid opening and closing could be heard.

Open.

Thud.

Close.

Thud.

Open-

Lu Jin was silent. His breathing was very quiet so as to not disturb the person beside him. The faint eyes under the lowered lashes subtly glanced at his silent father who was playing with the box with an unreadable expression.
