Chapter 192 The Little Girl is Quite Well Hidden

Tan Zheng saw the video on Weibo the next morning, which Lu Hao Ting had specifically forwarded to the group. Lu Hao Ting sent an angry emoji: If my sister-in-law hadn't had such good reflexes, how much would she have hurt falling from such a height! Who is behind this? @Lu Fang. Lu Fang: It was Bai Xi Yuan's doing. Sister-in-law was smart and discovered it long ago. The Lu family and Song Jing have already cut off all cooperation with Bai Xi Yuan. Tang Qin Yun: Bai Xi Yuan? What is that? I want to get involved too. Lu Fang: The daughter the Bai family acknowledged a couple of years ago. Tang Qin Yun: The Bai family? What's her relation to Bai Yun Ji? Lu Fang: Cousins. Lu Hao Ting: ??? Who is Bai Yun Ji? Tang Qin Yun: @Tan Zheng, is this your romantic entanglement? If I remember correctly, before you went on a blind date with Ni Ni, this Bai Yun Ji wanted to get close to Tan Zheng. Lu Hao Ting: Woah, I heard not long ago that Bai Xi Yuan went to sister-in-law's set, reportedly to see Brother Tan, so have both of these Bai sisters set their sights on Brother Tan? Lu Fang: It seems so. Tang Qin Yun: It's all Tan Zheng's fault for not handling this properly. I'm going to complain to Song Jing. If it weren't for Tan Zheng, how could Ni Ni have been framed by that bitch? Tan Zheng only glanced at the discussion among these people, then watched the video multiple times. From initial heartache and inability to watch, to carefully realizing that Song Ni was indeed protecting herself before feigning to fall against the pillar, he finally felt relieved. However, even if it was feigned, the impact of hitting the pillar wouldn't be small. Tan Zheng: @Lu family, ban her. Lu Fang: Sister-in-law gave me the news, and Song Jing and I took action. However, Brother Tan, Bai Xi Yuan still has a collaboration with your Tan family that's being negotiated and, as far as I know, hasn't been called off. Lu Hao Ting: !!!!!!!! How could this happen! Brother Tan, you've disappointed me so much! Tang Qin Yun: Damn it, Tan Zheng, this is how you take care of Ni Ni! Tan Zheng: I wasn't aware of this. Tang Qin Yun: Is it not your fault for not knowing? Lu Hao Ting: Seconded! Lu Fang: Seconded + Tan Zheng exited the group chat and directly called Su Qing. Su Qing was bewildered. Hadn't Madam told the Boss about this? Su Qing told Tan Zheng about Song Ni calling her and her plans. The man was silent for a moment and only said, "Well done." Su Qing's heart rejoiced. It wasn't easy to get the Boss's praise, and she never expected to receive it for such a small matter. It seemed that always following Madam's lead would never be wrong. Su Qing's mood was absolutely ecstatic. How could she not be happy? Madam was simply a lucky star. If there were any difficulties in the future, just look for Madam! Thinking of this, Su Qing felt even more determined to handle the meeting with Bai Xi Yuan tomorrow properly. To give the person Madam disliked a show of force. Tan Zheng then called Song Ni again, but she was filming and happened to miss it. Cheng Ling and Chang Li had just come out of Xi Jin Jiang's ward. Since the rooftop incident that day, Xi Jin Jiang had been in a state of withdrawal, unwilling to speak to anyone, even Tan Zheng. Cheng Ling had been in America for too long; he had patients back in China. "I'm returning to China tomorrow." Tan Zheng didn't try to keep him. "Thank you for your help during this time." Cheng Ling shook his head. He had always been interested in difficult patients, and moreover, coming here allowed him to exchange ideas with Chang Li, which was a great gain. However, upon returning... Tan Zheng seemed to see through Cheng Ling's thoughts. "If Ni Ni asks you, tell her the truth." Cheng Ling looked up abruptly, frowning slightly. "Have you thought it through?" Tan Zheng, however, curved his lips. "She's very smart, don't you know? You can't hide anything from her. Tell her the real situation so she has a better understanding." Cheng Ling: ... utterly speechless. He had been thinking all these days about how to explain to Ni Ni after returning to China. He didn't expect Tan Zheng to know that Song Ni was smart enough to figure these things out. So what had he been agonizing over? This couple was truly something, both pretending ignorance while knowing everything, and just pinning all the responsibility on him. "Then when are you returning to China?" Tan Zheng lit a cigarette. He had been smoking too much lately, and after just one puff, he couldn't help but cough a couple of times. Cheng Ling's brows furrowed. "You need to take care of your health. Don't fall ill when you get back and have Ni Ni look after you." Tan Zheng smiled. "I'll go back when things here are mostly settled." Cheng Ling nodded. It seemed Tan Zheng was determined this time to resolve this old affair. "He still refuses to speak. It looks like you'll have to put in more effort." Chang Li, listening from the side, grew impatient. "Cheng Ling, why are you being so long-winded? I'm here if you leave. Don't you trust me?" Cheng Ling: ... "Aren't you having trouble with your partner lately? Your current state really makes me doubt." Chang Li: ... Tan Zheng patted Cheng Ling on the shoulder. "I'll thank you properly when I get back." "No need for thanks. I'm doing this all for Ni Ni." Hearing this, Tan Zheng fell silent for a moment. Although he knew Cheng Ling's feelings for Song Ni were purely platonic and that he liked another friend of Song Ni's, he still felt a pang of jealousy hearing another man care so much about his wife. Cheng Ling hadn't thought that deeply. A large part of his reason for coming to America was indeed because of Song Ni. Their friendship of over ten years couldn't be shallow. And... recently, someone's attitude towards him had suddenly changed, as if they had suddenly woken up and understood his feelings. With Qin Yang's little mind, it was obvious that Song Ni had given her advice. If his affairs were successful, even if Xi Jin Jiang was difficult to handle, he would have to deal with him for Song Ni. Tan Zheng suddenly remembered that Qin Yang was his fan. "You two studied together in high school?" Cheng Ling looked at Tan Zheng with confusion. "Yes." "Qin Yang was into racing back then, so... she watched all sorts of competitions?" Speaking of this, Cheng Ling snorted, his gaze towards Tan Zheng not as friendly. "Yes, to watch your races, she would think of ways to skip class every day, almost getting beaten by her parents." Hearing this, Tan Zheng's eyes moved. "So, since Ni Ni is good friends with her, has she...?" Cheng Ling suddenly realized. "Are you asking if Ni Ni watched you race?" Tan Zheng lowered his gaze, uncharacteristically embarrassed. "It seems not. Ni Ni wasn't interested in racing at all back then and used to call Qin Yang crazy every day." Tan Zheng: ... Fine, he had been too hopeful. Seeing the obvious disappointment on the man's face, Cheng Ling suddenly smiled. "Oh, wait, it seems that on one occasion, they both skipped school together for an exam." Tan Zheng's brows twitched, his deep eyes shining. "It seems they watched a rally race... Tsk, I remember it was about six years ago, coincidentally in Xingcheng." Six years ago, Xingcheng, rally race. Tan Zheng's eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth curved. His little girl was quite secretive, not even telling him about this. Seeing this, Cheng Ling also smiled. Tan Zheng was jealous of his friendship with Ni Ni, while he was jealous of Tan Zheng being Qin Yang's idol. It was quite amusing.
