Chapter 1330: 1329 is actually a classmate
“We see each other every day?” Zhuang Liu was puzzled, “But I have no impression of you at all? If I had seen you before and we met daily, I’m sure I would remember something.”
Xiao Mo was also sizing up Mr. Lin; this Mr. Lin was indeed good-looking, and his voice was pleasant to listen to.
He and Zhuang Liu were handsome in different ways; Zhuang Liu was the kind that you could tell was handsome at a glance, while Mr. Lin was much gentler. At first sight, you would only think he was slightly attractive, but the more you looked, the more you would discover a magic power about him, continuously drawing you in.
Zhuang Liu didn’t have many friends, most were business partners, and he barely had any peers with whom he was close. If this Mr. Lin was a friend of Zhuang Liu’s and was so outstanding, then Xiao Mo would definitely have an impression of him.
Mr. Lin reminded Zhuang Liu, “We didn’t meet recently; to be specific, we’ve known each other for over a decade.”
“A friend from over a decade ago?” Now Zhuang Liu really needed to gather his thoughts, “I really have no recollection at all.”
More than a decade ago, Zhuang Liu was still a teenager, his mind entirely focused on studying, with no time for making friends. How could he possibly have known Mr. Lin?
Seeing that he hadn’t guessed yet, Mr. Lin continued to prompt him, “If Mr. Zhuang doesn’t remember me, he can ask Mr. Tao Zhi, and ask if he knows someone with the surname Lin.”
Tan Rou heard what Mr. Lin said and was quite surprised, “You know my elder brother?”
Mr. Lin said cheerfully, “Not only do I know him, but we are also friends. If you don’t believe me, you can call and ask him. Just ask if he knows someone named Lin Yu.”
“No need to ask,” Zhuang Liu interjected, “I think I’ve figured out who you are. You’re from the Lin family, and if I’m not mistaken, you should be related to Xue Lin.”
Tan Rou looked at Mr. Lin, then recalled what Xue Lin looked like when she was alive, feeling that these two didn’t resemble each other at all.
“Yes,” Mr. Lin admitted, “Xue Lin is indeed my cousin, but our family doesn’t get along well with theirs. After our grandfather passed away, our families split and lost contact. Regarding Xue Lin’s affairs, I know very little, only learning of her death and her family’s troubles when I returned to the country this time.”
“We also deeply regret Xue Lin’s death,” Tan Rou said, “If her attitude had been a little better, maybe we could have offered help, but as her cousin, you should know what kind of person she was, right? Do you think we should have helped her?”
Lin Yu shook his head, “As I said before, our family doesn’t have much to do with Xue Lin’s family now. Whether it’s their bankruptcy or Xue Lin’s death, I don’t want to pursue it. So you don’t need to worry that I’ve e to trouble you.”
Tan Rou smiled, “Even if you had e to cause us trouble, we wouldn’t be afraid.”
Lin Yu was at a loss for words, “Miss Rou, Mr. Zhuang, please believe me, I really didn’t e for revenge. And my dad also said that the downfall of Xue Lin’s family was entirely their own fault and had nothing to do with anyone else. Let the law judge as it will; no one in the Lin family is allowed to say a word in their defense.”
Tan Rou tentatively believed Lin Yu, but she still couldn’t understand why Lin Yu sought a partnership with Magic Power, “You just mentioned Zhuang Liu knows you, is it because of Xue Lin?” She thought carefully and felt this reason was too far-fetched. If anyone was related to Xue Lin, Tan Rou should be ahead of Zhuang Liu.
Lin Yu looked at Zhuang Liu with distress, “Zhuang Liu, you still haven’t figured out who I am, have you?”
Zhuang Liu sighed, somewhat helplessly, “You were my classmate in junior high, right? I remember I had a class monitor with the surname Lin. You said you were close to Tao Zhi, and since Tao Zhi and I were classmates, you must’ve been Tao Zhi’s classmate as well.”
Lin Yu laughed loudly, “Mr. Zhuang is so busy with many things, it’s quite a feat that you still remember a minor character like me.”
Zhuang Liu apologized, “Sorry, back then I was focused on my studies and wasn’t keen on making friends, so I…”
“No need to apologize,” Lin Yu interrupted him, “I wasn’t remarkable back then, so it’s normal that you don’t remember me.”
