Chapter 860: 860 He Revealed His True Colors!

When Lin Gantang returned, she brought two cats with her, took care of them at home for a night, and brought them back to the bookstore the next day.

In the video, she introduced the history and other specifics of the short-legged cat siblings and Ragdoll brothers as usual, as for the cats’ names, Lin Gantang planned to let the fans decide.

The new cats integrated well into their new environment, and Lin Gantang continued to work with peace of mind.

However, with Qian Ruoxi around, there was little for Lin Gantang to worry about; the bookstore’s management was on the right track, and Lin Gantang gradually withdrew from her work.

She had an appointment with Lu Xiya in the afternoon, so Lin Gantang checked the time and planned to join Wen Yanqing for lunch at Shengfang plaza.

Just as she was about to leave, Lin Gantang unexpectedly found Xiao Ling in the store.

Customers are visitors, and although Lin Gantang knew Xiao Ling had followed Wen Rendong, she did not show any scorn on her face. As she passed by, Xiao Ling looked at her with a face full of unsaid words.

Eventually, it was Xiao Ling who spoke up, “Mrs. Wen.”

Lin Gantang turned around.

Xiao Ling’s lips turned white from biting them, “Do you think I’m debased, do you look down on me?”

Lin Gantang stopped and said, “If you’ve already done something, what’s the point of caring about what others think now? Besides, I don’t know you well, so whether I respect you or not shouldn’t matter to you, right?”

“You are his daughter-in-law,” Xiao Ling said with a heavy voice.

“Yes, so what does that mean; if I say I look down on you, would you leave him?” Lin Gantang couldn’t help but ask.

Xiao Ling twisted her hands together, clutching at her own palm, “I… I can’t leave right now, but I have my difficulties in being with him, the things I told you before weren’t just lies to deceive people.”

Lin Gantang felt a bit perplexed, “What does your having difficulties have to do with me? I am nothing to you, you don’t need to confess to me.”

Xiao Ling tried to explain, “I… I…”

“Do you know how many people in the world go against their initial intentions and do things that go against their desires?” Lin Gantang said, “But whether it’s willingly or under compulsion, once it’s done, it’s done, and so-called reasons are just there to make yourself feel better.”

Xiao Ling gripped her own palm tightly.

Looking at the not fully faded swelling on her face, Lin Gantang said, “One should not go beyond their depth with acquaintances, after all, before this, we were only strangers who briefly met, so I neither sympathize with nor blame you. There’s no need for you to tell me all this, is there?”

“Or do you want me to comfort you?” Lin Gantang seriously considered her expression. “I can only tell you that the path you’re on is definitely the wrong one, you should turn back as soon as possible.”

Xiao Ling knew this, but she bore countless worries in her heart, and Lin Gantang, who had warned her not to take the wrong path at the beginning, made her feel she could confide her troubles.

Even if they had no relationship, and even though every time she saw Lin Gantang, she wanted to lower her head in shame because of her own choices.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”

Ultimately, Lin Gantang walked past her.

Wen Rendong’s lover had little to do with her.

She walked out of the store, leaving the comfortable air-conditioned environment, and the heat outside could make one sweat profusely in no time.

Lin Gantang wanted to get to Shengfang quickly; Wen Yanqing’s private rest area there was simply too comfortable.

She bought a bottle of ice-cold cola, drinking it as she walked and picked up her vibrating phone.

Le Yu: [I knew he was up to no good, finally, he’s shown his true colors!]

Lin Gantang: Who are you talking about?

She continued to read the new message.

[Pretends to be a gentleman with a long game, can’t hold back anymore, huh.]

Lin Gantang: [Get to the point.]

So Le Yu got straight to it: [Somebody wants to hook up with you.]

Lin Gantang choked and coughed violently.
