tightly.Then the stack of fruit was sent upstairs.He hesitated for a moment, then knocked lightly on Wen Yu Zhou's door and said, "Uncle Wen."Wen Yu Zhou opened the door.Those deep-set eyes were fixe...The assistant only felt a tremor of fear. Who could have imagined that Ning Shu had actually dated Jin Cheng, Jin's nephew, for a year before this

And according to the information, it seems that Jin Shao was the one who dumped him.

It is said that Jin Shao has recently found a new boyfriend, and it seems to be his cousin, Ning Qing.

Most importantly.

The assistant also found out some other things, he felt a cold sweat dripping from his temples, and roughly guessed why this Ning family illegitimate son wanted to climb onto Mr. Jin's leg.

He didn't dare to look at Mr. Jin's expression on his face any longer.

When Mr. Jin took over the company all those years ago, he was already far superior to his peers when he was young. While those in the same circle were making jokes and having a good time, Mr. Jin was held up as an example of an heir every household would be proud to have.

Jin Baiyan is a cunning old fox in the business world, and no one can see through him.

Over the years, few people have stayed close to him because of his unusual cleanliness that others couldn't understand. No one is allowed to disturb Jin at home, Mr. Jin prefers quiet.

Occasionally, I also go to temples.

He always wears a string of Buddhist beads on his hand. His assistant sees him wearing them whenever he's around. Sometimes, he feels that besides being decisive in the business world, Mr. Jin...

Calm and composed, yet with a cunning glint in their eye, like a seasoned fox.

But in his private life, the assistant felt that Mr. Jin was like a person in meditation. He didn't have too much desire, so when Mr. Jin showed interest in a young boy...

It would be disingenuous for the assistant to claim they weren't surprised.

This is the first time Mr. Jin has shown such a strong interest in someone. You know, he usually doesn't even glance at people who come to his door.

But now.

Mr. Jin is interested in someone who is surprisingly his nephew's ex-boyfriend

The assistant only felt like the sky was falling, his head spinning.

I just felt that Ning Shu was going to be destroyed, and so was I.

So he quickly backtracked and said, "However, Ning Shao's relationship with Jin Shao is a secret one. Others don't know about it. It seems that Jin Shao doesn't love Ning Shao; he just… treats him as a stand-in."

As for the real person behind the stand-in, it was naturally Ning Qing, another grandson of the Ning family.

Jin Baiyan's expression was unclear at the moment, and he replied in a flat tone: "A stand-in"

The assistant quickly said that Master Jin seemed to have a deep affection for Ning Qing since he was a child, but unfortunately, Ning Qing went abroad to study. Then Jin Cheng found Ning Shu, seemingly treating him as a substitute for Ning Qing.

So when Ning Qing came back, Master Jin abandoned Ning Shu without hesitation.

The assistant has met Ning Qing once, though he is handsome.

But he felt that the other party's cousin, Ning Shu, was more handsome and refined.

I really don't know how Master Jin Cheng's eyes are shaped.

He actually mistook Ning Shu for his cousin's stand-in.

But the assistant's thoughts were fleeting; he was now more worried about what Mr. Jin might think if he knew the truth, and didn't know how to feel.

Taboo.

This is a major taboo, the uncle's chosen suitor happens to be his nephew's ex-boyfriend.

The assistant thought it couldn't get any more over-the-top.

Not to mention that Ning Shu had ulterior motives for approaching Mr. Jin, the assistant couldn't help but sigh and think to himself that Ning Shu had originally had a chance to soar to great heights, but now, it was probably all gone down the drain.

Thinking that way.

Then I heard Mr. Jin say in a calm voice, "I've met Ning Qing once too. They aren't like that."

The assistant was apprehensive. He looked at the handsome face of the head of the Jin family.

I'm not quite sure how Mr. Jin is feeling right now.

He simply replied cautiously: "Of course, Young Master Ning looks much more pleasing than his cousin."

Jin Baiyan remained silent, his gaze fixed on one particular photograph.

This is a screenshot capture.

But one could still see Jin Cheng pulling the person into his embrace, leaning down to speak ambiguously with the other. And the boy in his arms was unusually well-behaved and stayed in his embrace.

Those eyes were full of adoration and longing.

The head of the Jin family, with his slender and fair fingers, twisted a corner of the photograph, creating a wrinkled arc. His deep-set eyes stared intently at the image, and blue veins pulsed slightly on his hand.

After a long pause, he slowly said, “Go out.”

The assistant didn't dare linger. He immediately walked out with the things in his hands, but as he closed the door, he heard a noise coming from inside.

It seemed as if something had fallen to the ground.

......

When Ning Shu came in, he only felt that the atmosphere was a bit off, but he didn't think much about it. As usual, he went to accompany Tyson first.

The maid said to him, "Little Ning, today Tyson doesn't need you to play with him."

He couldn't help but be taken aback and asked why.

The errand boy reluctantly said, "I don't know, this was Mr. Jin's order."

Ning Shu suddenly felt a little uneasy. The snow mastiff didn't need him to take care of it anymore. Didn't that prove that Jin Baiyan was not satisfied with his work, so he let others come and attack him indirectly

He had to ask the servant, "Has Mr. Jin gone home from work yet"

The maid replied, "Mr. Jin is upstairs, he just came back not long ago."

Ning Shu heard this and said thank you. After hesitating for a moment, she still walked over.

He walked up to the other person's bedroom.

Then, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

In a little while, the head of the Jin family opened the door.

Ning Shu, seeing this, took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Jin, is there something I haven't done well Do you want to fire me"

The head of the Jin family stood before him, tall and elegant.

That handsome face was strikingly beautiful with deep-set features and a high, straight nose. Especially those hands, Ning Shu had never seen any man's hands as beautiful as the head of the Jin family.

The other person looked at him with a faint expression: "Tyson just finished his physical today, he's not trying to fire you."

Ning Shu's heart immediately felt relieved.

He subconsciously glanced into the room, but found no trace of roses. He couldn't tell what he felt, but Ning Shu also knew that roses had a short flowering period.

Besides, once some wither, I'm afraid no one would keep them.

Ning Shu also thought about sending flowers again, but he felt that this gift no longer had the element of surprise.

Then, he couldn't help but look up and say, "Mr. Jin, are you free this weekend"

Jin Baiyan looked at him.

That feeling was strange. Ning Shu noticed the gaze of this head of the Jin family on him, but the temperature was a kind of coolness.

Immediately, he heard the other party speak in a low voice, "No time."

Ning Shu: “.....”

In the past, the former head of the Jin family would politely speak to him in roundabout ways, but now, that politeness has disappeared.

Just as he was lost in thought.

"In front of you, Jin Baiyan said out of the blue: 'In your eyes, am I old' "

Ning Shu was a little confused.

Perhaps the bewilderment in his eyes was too apparent. The head of the Jin family slightly lowered his head, a dignified and aloof expression on his handsome face: "Every time you use honorifics, sir, I'm not even thirty-four years old. I'm younger than your father by several years."

Ning Shu: "...."

Although he didn't know how old the original owner's father was this year, he also heard the head of the Jin family minding his age.

Ning Shu could only explain, "Mr. Jin, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I was just showing you respect..." He pursed his lips and continued in a soft voice, "I don't think you're old at all."

However, this head of the Jin family merely looked down at him with a hint of coldness in his eyes, as if looking down upon him.

The steadfastness in his eyes was as though he saw through everything, including his lies.

"Actually, he did consider the head of the Jin family as an elder. After all, the other party was over a decade older than him. It's normal for people to not treat someone that much older as their peer."

What's more, the head of the Jin family exudes an intimidating aura that is simply unnerving.

So he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and his tone of voice involuntarily took on a hint of formality.

"I heard that Jin Cheng is dating your cousin"

After a while, the head of the Jin family said this.

Ning Shu looked over and saw Jin Baiyan staring at him with those deep eyes, but his expression, including his tone, was unreadable.

It's like an elder casually expressing concern to a younger generation, that's all there is to it.

But Ning Shu's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know why Jin Baiyan suddenly brought up Jin Cheng and Ning Qing. But being cautious, he pondered for a moment before replying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jin, I don't know much about their affairs."

Lie.

Jin Baiyan saw through the boy's lie at a glance, he almost watched coldly as the other party unconsciously pursed his lips.

Her lips were trembling.

Although anger boiled in his chest, the head of the Jin family still raised his hand and patted the other's hair like a hypocritical elder.

He said slowly, "I was just asking casually. You don't have to be nervous."

Ning Shu was startled, realizing she might have been a bit too emotional. After all, Jin Cheng's relationship with the original owner was not ordinary. She quickly composed herself and shook her head, saying, "If Mr. Jin is busy, then next time...could you please prioritize making time for me"

Jin Baiyan stared at the boy's soft and fair neck. It was very slender, and he could grasp it with just a little effort.

He thought about the picture on his desk.

The photo shows Jin Cheng with a male, the two embracing each other, looking like a loving couple.

What's more, they had been dating for a year.

The longing look in the boy's eyes in the photo is certainly genuine.

The head of the Jin family could almost instantly guess that the person in front of him had rejected him twice before, but then came crawling back.

Because the other party knew, he was just Jin Cheng's uncle.

The head of the Jin family retracted his hand, pinching a rosary bead between his fingers.

Then she slowly said, "Do I look like Jin Cheng"

Ning Shu was slightly surprised.

Jin Baiyan said calmly, "After all, I share blood with him. Do you think we resemble each other"

Ning Shu couldn't help but focus her gaze on the man's face, unsure of what the head of the Jin family meant. Actually, Jin Baiyan was only a little similar to Jin Cheng, but if she had to say where they were similar, she couldn't put it into words.

So he hesitated for a moment before replying, "...Mr. Jin and Jin Cheng are probably quite similar." had broken off his engagement with his fiancée because of Ning Shu. Before that, his former fiancée had also contacted Ning Shu, asking her not to ruin their relationship.And Ning Shufan not only did...
