"That’s right, the saying goes ’when the fake also seems real, the real also seems fake.’ How can outsiders tell them apart? Besides, if you pretend for a lifeti, who can really say what’s true and what’s false?"
Grandpa Su nodded repeatedly, as long as people believed that the head of the Martial Arts Inspection Team was the Su Family’s son-in-law, that was enough; as for what Su Xiaoxi herself thought of it, she could decide. After all, it was her who first found Tang Ming to pose as her boyfriend.
"This sounds sowhat reasonable, but what if I et soone I like later on?"
Su Xiaoxi furrowed her eyebrows, worrying about this possibility.
"Haha, my silly granddaughter, we don’t know whether you and Tang Ming are genuine or not, but don’t you know yourself?"
Grandpa Su laughed heartily, "He’s hired by you, it’s entirely up to you to decide whether it’s real or fake. As long as you’re unwilling, then he will indeed just remain a pretender. Of course, if you’re willing, your dad and I won’t oppose it, either."
"I don’t want to, not at all!" Su Xiaoxi retorted with flushed cheeks.
"Then we’ll stay out of it. However, if you announce now that he is a fake fiancé, it won’t reflect well on our Su Family’s reputation and might draw Sun Zhuangjia’s attention once again, so think carefully about it," her dad Su Tianyu solemnly reminded her.
"I... I’ll just leave it as is for now. After all, I have ninety-nine opportunities. If need be, I can just use them up slowly," Su Xiaoxi said.
Just the thought of Sun Zhuangjia made her feel that Tang Ming was actually pretty outstanding.
"That’s the right attitude. Ninety-nine chances spread over a lifeti, maybe it will turn real by then," Grandpa Su and Su Tianyu exchanged a knowing glance and then broke into laughter together.
After the Su Family’s engagent party was over, Li Wenxuan was also called back ho by the Li Family for questioning.
"Little sister, what on earth is going on? Why are so many people saying that Tang Xin is your fiancé Tang Ming?"
Li Wenmao sat on the living room sofa, looking at Li Wenxuan with confusion.
"I have no idea either," Li Wenxuan shrugged nonchalantly.
"Tang Ming is your fiancé; how could you not know if he has a sister or not?"
Li Wenmao rolled his eyes, really suspecting that Tang Ming was an actor Li Wenxuan had found. Otherwise, how could she know nothing?
"You saw it yourself, that Tang Xin is no ordinary person, so there is no way Tang Ming would easily reveal his identity to . It makes sense that I wouldn’t know," Li Wenxuan shrugged and responded with boundless confidence.
"That is true, mbers of the Dark Group are generally very low-profile, and especially Tang Xin being a high-level mber, is elusive like the dragon’s head but not its tail, his identity even more so," Li Wenmao thought and felt that Li Wenxuan made a lot of sense.
"So, you see, asking about this, I am also not clear," Li Wenxuan said helplessly, spreading her hands.
"Then let’s analyze this, do you think Tang Xin and Tang Ming are the sa person?" Li Wenmao looked at Li Wenxuan with hopeful eyes; deep down, he truly wished they were the sa person since that could bring nurous benefits to the Li Family.
"I don’t think so."
Li Wenxuan reflected for a mont and then shook her head.
"Why not?" Li Wenmao was suddenly taken aback.
"Although I don’t know Tang Xin, I’m very familiar with Tang Ming. He has always been my student; he cos to school every day for classes."
Li Wenxuan analyzed seriously, "That Tang Xin holds a high position with significant power, she must have a lot of work to do. How can she possibly run to school every day?"
"That’s true. Since Tang Xin is a senior mber of the Dark Group, she must be often carrying out missions. It wouldn’t make sense for her to always be able to attend school."
Li Wenmao nodded understandingly and sighed with regret, "If Tang Ming and Tang Xin were really the sa person, that would be great."
"Hehe."
Li Wenxuan laughed, not caring in the least, because she knew that whether it was Tang Ming or Tang Xin, both were her fake boyfriends, with no substantial relationship. It didn’t matter who it was.
In the evening, Tang Ming sat helplessly in the private room with the three girls, watching Chen Cang and Liu ngting engrossed in their video ga on the sofa.
"Chen Cang, have you forgotten sothing? It’s almost five o’clock now. When are you going to finish playing?"
Tang Ming asked Chen Cang, boredly looking on.
"It’s still early. Our teamwork is perfect today. We must make it a thrilling victory."
Chen Cang responded without raising his head.
"Exactly, it’s finally the four of us playing together at last."
Li Xiaoli lanted as she furiously swiped her phone, "It’s a pity Tang Ming brother doesn’t play gas, otherwise, the five of us could form a team."
"I’m not as childish as you are."
Tang Ming rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "Chen Cang, hurry up and call Liu Tianji and ask. Didn’t he say he was going to treat us to dinner tonight? Why hasn’t there been any news yet? I’m hungry."
"Oh no! I got so caught up in the ga; I completely forgot about it."
Chen Cang suddenly stood up, frowning as he switched screens, "This little brother is really clueless. Daring to be late when treating and Brother Ming to dinner is simply outrageous."
"Hey, don’t stop playing, we’re in the middle of a team fight."
Li Xiaoli yelled anxiously, "It’s over, we’re going to get wiped."
"Hold on, I need to find out what’s going on with that kid first. If Brother Ming goes hungry, it’s a serious cri. I’ll kill him." Chen Cang said soothingly as he imdiately dialed Liu Tianji’s phone number.
After several rings, the call was answered, and Liu Tianji’s weak voice ca through. "Hello, this is Liu Tianji..."
"Liu Tianji, what the hell are you up to? It’s already five o’clock, why haven’t you co to pick us up at the hotel?"
Before Liu Tianji could finish speaking, Chen Cang cursed directly. This first recruit was such a headache; he definitely needed so strict training.
"Ah... I’m so sorry, Sister Cang. I didn’t do it on purpose. I forgot."
Liu Tianji’s voice was filled with panic as he helplessly exclaid, "My dad is in critical condition; he’s undergoing ergency treatnt right now... I... I’m afraid I can’t make it."
"Your dad is dying?" Chen Cang was stunned for a mont, then said discontentedly, "Why does this have to happen now? Brother Ming and I have been waiting for you for hours."
"His dad is critically ill. Do you have to talk like that?"
Tang Ming snatched the phone from Chen Cang, gave her a disapproving look, and then asked with concern, "Young Master Liu, what happened to your father?"
"I’m really sorry for not keeping our appointnt; my dad’s heart condition flared up. I truly can’t leave right now."
Liu Tianji reported, his voice tinged with tears.
"A heart condition? Which hospital are you at? We’ll co right now."
Tang Ming frowned slightly. He had previously detected Liu Tianji’s father’s heart condition and hadn’t expected it to occur so soon. From his previous diagnosis, he feared the worst this ti.
