Rose of Heaven

177-178

Chen Xingyan was indeed spoiled by her brother. She didn't understand the ways of the world and didn't know how to advance or retreat.
    At times like this, crying is always the worst option, but she didn't understand and just wanted to vent her anger.
    After hearing Ye Zhongxu's threat, she stabbed Lin Jingmo with her eyes, shaking with anger and gritting her teeth. Lin Jingmo had no doubt that she wanted to chew him up: "He is old enough to be your father, so you can bite him. People who come from poor and remote areas are different..."
    Lin Jingmo hoped that she would continue to commit suicide. Seeing Ye Zhongxu's face turned pale because of her ridicule of his old age, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth at this moment, and turned to admire Chen Xingyan a little. It is also a kind of ability to be so short-sighted.
    Now Ye Zhongxu has been offended by her, and it is not in vain that she wasted a temporary phone number.
    "Chen Xingyan!" Ye Zhongxu was finally irritated by her, and he spoke word by word, each word was full of fighting spirit. Lin Jingmo, who was not in the situation, felt a chill, not to mention Chen Xingyan who was so close.
    The coldness and sharpness in his eyes were like a slash on her head, as if she just realized that this person was not someone she could offend. Chen Xingyan stared blankly with fear in her eyes, muttering and moving her lips, not daring to say another word.
    Ye Zhongxu took a deep breath, and his tone became gentle, but the majesty between his eyebrows made people feel suffocated by such gentle pressure. He said, "I will only tolerate you for the last time. Don't see you again in the future, and the same applies to her. Whether you understand or not, I will only say it this time. Go back and tell Chen Xingchen and let him teach you."
    After that, he let go of Chen Xingyan and went to open the door: "Let's go."
    Chen Xingyan wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Ye Zhongxu's eyes turned dim. All the words that Chen Xingyan said turned into sobs of fear, unwillingness and anger. Finally, she angrily glared at Lin Jingmo and ran out.
    As soon as she left, Lin Jingmo felt that there was nothing she needed to stay here for, so she also walked towards the door. Halfway, she was stopped by Ye Zhongxu. She took the initiative: "Last time when she banned me, my boss said that someone was helping her suppress the heat behind the scenes. It was you."
    In fact, Lin Jingmo had guessed it long ago. She didn't bring it up to argue with him before, just to save it for later.
    Ye Zhongxu didn't know what to say when she questioned him like this, especially if Chen Xingyan was worthy of him doing that, but her performance just now made his previous actions look more like aiding and abetting.
    Lin Jingmo bit her lip, pretending to be aggrieved, which was her most perfect acting skill. She played the kind of pitiful grievance and complaint to the core, and deliberately said in a hoarse voice: "I don't want to see you now, and you should go back."
    Ye Zhongxu didn't want her to leave with grievances, especially although she was not as willful as Chen Xingyan, but in Ye Zhongxu's eyes, she also had a little temper. It was a bit unusual for her to hold it back now. He didn't know that Lin Jingmo had achieved her goal and didn't want to deal with him anymore.
    He put his arm around Lin Jingmo's waist and tried to take her into the house. Lin Jingmo resisted his strength, raised her  head, and asked, "Uncle Ye, when you did that, didn't you think about how to explain to me when I found out?"
    "Or you thought I would never find out. What's wrong with helping her? I'm a little sad, not because I found out that you helped her. You should have had a relationship before. It's normal for you to help her. I'm sad because you're speechless. Think about what to say, then come to me."
    Her voice was calm, and Ye Zhongxu couldn't help but be stunned.
    That's right, how could a girl who told him about Poincare's regression be simple.
    With a loose waist, Lin Jingmo felt that her entire chest was much looser.
    She also ran away, fearing that if she walked a step slower, he would notice any happiness and joy on her face.
    Ye Zhongxu looked at her impatient back, but thought she didn't want him to see her cry. He sighed in his heart that he still knew too little about her.
    ...
    But tonight was destined not to end peacefully.
    Just as she lay down and prepared to sleep, Lin Jingmo was woken up by Cheng Yaosi's phone call. He told her that Tang Tianyu flew back to China without saying hello to anyone, and asked if he had contacted her.
    How could she sleep now?
    Lin Jingmo had no choice but to tell him that he had hired someone to monitor her. Cheng Yaosi's idea coincided with hers, and he asked her to take advantage of the situation and take this opportunity to settle with him. He would take care of the rest.
    At this point, Lin Jingmo knew that this was indeed the right thing to do. He had done enough for her. Why should she give him hope that he could not see the boundary? That would be cruel.
    At two o'clock in the middle of the night, Lin Jingmo, who was dozing with his eyes squinted, was awakened by a knock on the door.
    Perhaps because she had been waiting, Lin Jingmo opened her eyes immediately when the first syllable wave reached her ears.
    The knocks on the door were very long. She put on her coat and walked to the door. The second knock on the door came again. Lin Jingmo almost heard four words from the sound: tread on thin ice.
    Lin Jingmo closed her eyes, and then opened them again, feeling clear.
    She stepped forward and pressed the doorknob, without even looking at who was outside or what was going on, she turned around and walked into the room.
    The hotel suite was covered with short-haired carpets. There was very little movement behind her. Lin Jingmo sat on the sofa and then raised her head.
    The boy opposite was now half a man. He flew from the summer near the equator to the winter. He was only wearing a black shirt, and the surface was covered with a layer of cold air, a sharp cold. Although he knew that he would not be frozen for too long on the plane and car, Lin Jingmo's throat still tightened slightly.
    There was a 24-hour hot water kettle in the room. Lin Jingmo got up and walked to the kettle to pour a glass of water and put it on the table in front of him.
    Tang Tianyu kept staring at her, watching her pour hot water for him. The anxiety and panic of several hours from before boarding the plane to the door finally found a way out.
    Seeing that he didn't move, Lin Jingmo said, "Drink some."
    Tang Tianyu was not thirsty, but still touched the small porcelain cup. The numb fingers were stimulated by the warmth, and suddenly realized and said, "Did you know I would come?"
    She didn't look surprised at all.
    Lin Jingmo's expression did not change. He lowered his eyes and thought about what to say. His voice floated in the air, and no emotion could be felt: "With your personality, I guess it's not strange."
    Tang Tianyu was at a loss again. He hurriedly took two sips of hot water, just to complete the task given by Lin Jingmo. The porcelain cup was small, just enough for him to take two sips. After drinking, he sat down next to Lin Jingmo. The lines he had organized over and over again on the plane were now completely forgotten. Lin Jingmo
    couldn't stand his embarrassment and took the initiative to say: "In fact, you don't have to come. Whether you come or not, the result will be the same. Senior, let's stop here."
    Tang Tianyu seemed to realize that it was actually winter here. He was caught off guard and was frozen to the point of embarrassment. Obviously, the room was not cold, and the central air-conditioning was set to 30 degrees.
    Lin Jingmo was a little speechless for a moment. She went to get the cup on the table, and when she held it in her hand, she saw that there was no water in it, so she put it down again.
