C158 (2/2)

I think he needs to be alone. He nods and leaves the house.

There were too many knots in his heart that he needed time and space, and I gave them to him.

When I was alone in the company, I was surprised and absent-minded. Shouldn't I be happy that something like this had happened? Maybe I can use this opportunity to...

But for some reason, there was another voice inside me that was trying desperately to stop me from doing this.

She didn't know why, but she didn't want to hurt him.

I was amused by my own tangled thoughts. Hadn't the opportunity I'd been waiting for finally come? What am I hesitating for?

After hesitating for a long time, he still could not come up with an answer.

At noon, during the lunch break, he suddenly received an anonymous message.

”Miss Ye, I'm sorry for last night, sorry to bother you, but I want to have a meal with you today at noon, is that okay?”

The content of this piece of news reminded me of the successful business elite and helpless father I had last night.

It turned out that a person was really such a contradictory person. A complex and tangled body. A person could have so many facets.

”Alright.”

Actually, before this, Song Lin had always been a top person in business in my knowledge of the world and was a person that could only be heard in legends. But when I found out that he was Jiang Yu's father, the sense of distance gradually disappeared.

I no longer idolized him blindly, and at the same time, I could vaguely feel that at least towards Jiang Yu, he shouldn't be considered to be a good and dutiful father.

Perhaps it was because of his own experience that he always resented irresponsible parents. Why couldn't they just push him aside?

To be honest, I sympathized with Jiang Yu because I felt that, on a certain level, we were actually the same type of person.

They were the same, despised by their own parents, the same, living under the shadow of others since childhood, being bullied.

But he was luckier than me.

Even if his father didn't love him, he had a mother who loved her, though now his mother didn't know where she was.

Maybe because of this, I was closer to him.

And it was also because of this that I understood even more clearly the reason why Song Lin was looking for me to eat lunch today. Would he really give up his power and wealth for Jiang Yu?

I don't think so.

At noon, the car that had been parked in front of my office last night came again. I got in the car and slept at the place where I ate.

The restaurant was located in a remote area, so one could tell that this was a place that only frequented customers.

After all, he was one of the top in the business world. No matter what he did, he would always choose a place that ordinary people did not know of.

Of course, the ordinary people here are the ordinary people in our circle.

In this circle, I am just an ordinary person.

I followed him into the restaurant and he led me to the second floor.

The second floor of the restaurant was surrounded by transparent buildings. We could see outside from the inside, but not from the outside.

This was the conclusion I came to when I was looking outside the restaurant. It was a glass wall, but I couldn't see anything.

When we sat down, the waiter took the menu and handed it to me.

I opened the menu and looked. On it were all the rarer thorns and seafood. I passed the menu to Song Lin and let him choose first.
