Chapter 254
Zhong Yuhuan didn’t even put him in her eyes, so of course, he wasn’t worth his attention.
Lang Jinzhi paused, and still said, “You can’t choose to date suitable people.”
“Hm?” Zhong Yuhuan looked at him with shock.
She never thought that her cousin would say this type of words. After all, Lang Jinzhi’s image was really innocent, so he wouldn’t talk about things like love with others.
“Then… I’ll choose to date the unsuitable ones?” Zhong Yuhuan asked in a daze.
“No. Significant others shouldn’t be chosen based on how suitable they are,” Lang Jinzhi said seriously.
Zhong Yuhuan was even more astonished.
But no matter how astonished she was, she still sat up properly and obediently listened to Lang Jinzhi’s words.
This is probably cousin’s unique way of caring for me?
“Everything should be based on how much you like him. If there isn’t enough liking, then the relationship won’t last long.”
Zhong Yuhuan thought of her aunt, Ding Qiuyue.
When she first married into the Lang family, it was only because she was fighting against her younger sister and wanted Grandpa Ding’s attention. For Ding Qiuyue at the time, there wasn’t anyone more suitable.
… And so it led to Lang Jinzhi’s deep suffering.
Zhong Yuhuan hurriedly nodded. “Cousin is correct.”
Her voice was soft, and Lang Jinzhi’s expression also softened.
Zhong Yuhuan suddenly smiled. “Cousin left work early again?”
“Mhm.”
Zhong Yuhuan happily smiled. “Thank you, cousin, for waiting for me at Yuelan villa. Thank you for bringing me home, and thank you for calling Wen Yongchen, as well as your words just now…”
That’s good.
When he had just begun following the fixed rules he set for himself, he had been slowly stepping out of the cage leftover from his childhood traumas.
Zhong Yuhuan’s voice was full of joy, both soft and sweet. Lang Jinzhi’s expression couldn’t help but soften.
He said, “It’s what I should do…”
Then, he looked outside. “We’re here.”
There was a bit of loss in his voice that even he didn’t realize.
Zhong Yuhuan unfastened her seatbelt but didn’t get out immediately.
She turned to hug Lang Jinzhi. “Goodnight, cousin.”
“Goodnight.” Lang Jinzhi unconsciously hugged her back, then let go.
Zhong Yuhuan finally got out and slowly entered the villa under Lang Jinzhi’s gaze.
Less than eight hours after Li Jinyuan returned to China, the hot search exploded with some other news.
It was about neither Wen Yongchen’s past scandals, nor the video featuring Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan, nor the overflowing airport… It was about this post that someone wrote:
《Li Jinyuan isn’t a son of a wealthy family. 818* his dark times of being in an orphanage…》
*818 means gossip
Wen Yongchen saw a screenshot of the post on someone’s Weibo, and it quickly became the top hot search. So, Wen Yongchen saw it as soon as he entered Weibo.
When he saw the hot search, Wen Yongchen’s eye twitched. He was completely certain that his guess wasn’t a guess anymore.
Li Jinyuan and Zhong Yuhuan don’t have any blood relations!
What family?! What siblings?!
Li Jinyuan indeed embarrassed him in many ways because of unspeakable thoughts!
Wen Yongchen clicked into the post and carefully scanned it.
The poster described Li Jinyuan’s life in the orphanage from the perspective of a staff member.
Then, Wen Yongchen clicked into the comment section. He thought that he would click into scenes of marketing accounts or anti-fan water armies filling the comments, or fans screaming at fans who were leaving the ship…
But what he actually saw was…
“AHHHHHHHHH SO HE DOESN’T HAVE ANY RELATIONS WITH ZHONG YUHUAN! TROUBLE TROUBLE TROUBLE! YUANHUAN CP HAS REVIVED!”
”_(:зゝ∠)_ Actually, it doesn’t matter if he’s not a rich second-generation. Besides, this dirt is too fake. How old was brother Li at that time? Could he even have done these things? I’m most curious about how he met Zhong Yuhuan afterwards! Was he adopted and then they became childhood sweethearts?!”
“So they aren’t siblings… then… I think… this CP… is still shippable.【quietly】”
“TAKE MY BROTHER LI AWAY. WE WON’T MEET, HEH!”
“Miss Zhong has money and raised the poor younger brother Li? How is there a sense of this feeling? I want to hear the real story! Sitting here and waiting for great deity brother Li to tell the story!”
***
Wen Yongchen: “…”
On the other side, Wei Jie received a call. After conversing with the person on the other side, his expression quickly worsened.
After hanging up, Wei Jie went to Li Jinyuan, who was still in the makeup room backstage.
“Mr. Li…” Wei Jie handed the phone to him.
Li Jinyuan looked down and casually swept through it.
All kinds of words drilled into his eyes.
From an orphanage…
No blood relation…
Li Jinyuan’s highly-strung heart suddenly fell calmly to the ground.
Right, there’s no blood relation.
No blood relation…
Li Jinyuan’s eyes curved into crescents.
The author has something to say:
Younger brother Li: Thank you for reminding me!
