BXBX NOVEL Chapter 395: 395 He Obviously Wants to Flirt with You
It was indeed Ding Yinuo.
He stood on the stands in a black overcoat, with Jiang Jiaying by his side. The two of them huddled close together, looking my way.
“Xiaosong, it’s your turn!”
Lin Nansheng called me.
Only then did I gather my wandering thoughts.
“Ah, my skills really aren’t up to par!”
“Not at all. I’ve found you to be quite talented. As a beginner, you’ve grasped the essence quite well. With a bit of practice, you’ll improve by leaps and bounds. Your talent is really good. You understand immediately with just a little guidance from me.”
If I were a dark horse, then Lin Nansheng was the expert who could spot the potential in horses.
Being with him not only brought me joy in body and soul but also allowed me to discover my own potential.
After a round of golf, I felt a long-lost sensation of complete satisfaction, and after sweating profusely, my mind had also become much clearer.
After Gu Yuanzhou was executed, I couldn’t accept the reality and was in a state of daze and loss for a long time.
Today, however, I started to slowly shift out of that state.
After playing golf, I went to the lounge with him where we had tea during our break and had a heart-to-heart.
Just as we sat for a while, Jiang Jiaying came over.
She wore a stylish pink outfit today, with a sun hat on her head, her hair in a ponytail, and her makeup was exquisite.
It was clear she had dressed up carefully; beneath that were white sneakers, and in her hand, she carried a very expensive bag.
When she saw my eyes fixed on her bag, Jiang Jiaying laughed and said,
“Do you like this bag too?”
I casually responded, “Not bad!”
It was just a polite reply.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Jiaying took it and ran with it.
She sat down next to Ding Yinuo,
“It’s a gift from Yinuo, a new model from Brand L, a limited edition. It’s not expensive, just over a hundred thousand… Yinuo is so considerate, knowing what I like and not sparing any expense in front of me.”
I took a deep breath and looked up at Ding Yinuo.
He sat calmly, his gaze showing no ripples at all.
Jiang Jiaying’s hand slowly reached for Ding Yinuo’s, interlocking their fingers.
Then she looked at me with a smile,
“I know when you were with Ding Yinuo before, he wasn’t able to give you anything of value. I’m sorry that you were shortchanged by him. Now, if you want something, I can give it to you.”
I scoffed,
“I appreciate your kindness, but I’m not interested in things others have used.”
Jiang Jiaying’s smile turned slightly awkward.
While I was talking with Jiang Jiaying, Lin Nansheng was taking a phone call. He seemed busy.
When he finished the call and came over, Jiang Jiaying no longer paid attention to me and instead went up to him with a cheerful smile, holding a box of pastries.
“Uncle Lin! These are red bean cakes made with glutinous rice by my mom herself. You can’t find this variety on the market, and it tastes very good. Please try some.”
“Alright, alright, thank you very much!”
Lin Nansheng sat down and opened the food box.
Jiang Jiaying deliberately sat in front of me, blocking the view between Lin Nansheng and me,
“Uncle Lin, I saw how agile you were playing golf just now. You really are aging like fine wine.”
“Old already, can’t compare with the youngsters.”
Lin Nansheng’s voice was hearty.
Jiang Jiaying added,
“Not old at all, if a young man in his early twenties were to spar with you, he might not even be able to win.”
His mouth was full of compliments.
Lin Nansheng smiled without a change in his demeanor,
“You flatter me too much!”
“How about this, should we play a few more games later? I practiced a bit when I was studying abroad!”
Lin Nansheng waved his hands,
“I’m getting old, I’m getting old, I don’t have the energy anymore. Just now, I played for over an hour with Xiaosong and I’m feeling a bit tired.”
In the midst of conversation, he declined her offer without any change in expression.
Jiang Jiaying was a social butterfly, she didn’t feel embarrassed but kept smiling.
“How long does Uncle Lin plan to stay in A City this time?”
“I originally had a three-day schedule, but… I’ve changed my plans now. There are some projects I’m interested in investing in. Look, the development of A City is quite impressive, with six or seven subway lines built, the economy is better than before, and the investment environment is much improved too.”
“Which projects have caught Uncle Lin’s eye? Share with us so we can learn!”
“Haha, nothing is confirmed yet, I’m still investigating!”
“Uncle Lin is really impressive! Uncle Lin has always been my role model. Hereafter, whichever company Uncle Lin invests in, that’s the stock I’ll buy.”
“Aren’t you a doctor? That’s a pretty good profession, isn’t it?”
“Oh, I am a doctor, but my boyfriend, he’s in business. By the way, are you still interested in Tianjiao Company’s fashion?”
Getting back to business, Lin Nansheng didn’t directly answer,
“At the moment, I don’t plan to invest; it requires cautious consideration.”
“So, are you saying you intend to invest in Zhenyi Company?”
All of Jiang Jiaying’s words were probes.
But of course, that was the answer I wanted to know as well. Recently, Lin Nansheng had been asking me out to dine and to play golf together quite frequently.
This gave many people the illusion that he was interested in Zhenyi Company and could invest at any moment.
Only I knew very clearly that privately, he hadn’t shown any intention of investing in Zhenyi Company.
At this moment, Lin Nansheng chuckled heartily,
“I don’t have plans for that at the moment either.”
Jiang Jiaying breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly finding a sense of fairness within herself.
After all, as long as Lin Nansheng didn’t choose me, it meant she still had more opportunities.
In the midst of light conversation, Lin Nansheng’s phone rang once more.
He didn’t seem to intend to avoid the call and picked up directly,
“Uncle Wen, any updates?”
“Sir, we found something at Jiahui Hospital. Twenty-eight years ago, the young lady did give birth to a baby girl there, so, there is a high likelihood that the child is related to you by blood.”
“Alright, continue investigating for me.”
I heard up to that point, vaguely realizing something, but I wasn’t too sure at the bottom of my heart.
And Jiang Jiaying also keenly caught on to that piece of information.
She seized the opportunity immediately,
“Uncle Lin, you mentioned… Are you looking for a lost baby girl?”
Lin Nansheng clasped his hands tightly, his complexion turned somewhat grim,
“Yes! I once had a lover. Back then, I was so busy with business that I didn’t have time for her. By the time I was free to look for her, she had cut off contact with me in a grudge. At that time, I didn’t know her real identity, not even where her family lived. Later, when I heard she was married, I stopped looking. Only a few days ago did I learn she had a daughter…”
As Lin Nansheng spoke, he turned his gaze towards me.
It was only then that I remembered, was he talking about the day Jian Jing brought him the files and a photo fell out?
At this thought, a notion struck me, could this man be my long-lost father?
