Chapter 1208: The Truth Can’t Be Hidden Forever
Lin Jiamu’s voice was somewhat hoarse, his face was stubbly, his hair was messy, and his eyes were bloodshot, looking extremely shabby.Long Xiao paused his action of picking up trash, looked up at his painful appearance, and said lightly, "There’s no wall in the world that doesn’t let the wind in, she’ll find out sooner or later."
Lin Jiamu fell silent, he raised his head and took a sip of alcohol, that’s right, paper can’t contain fire?
Long Xiao threw the garbage bag aside and said, "You haven’t had dinner, have you? I’ll make you some supper."
With that, he headed to the kitchen.
When he opened the refrigerator door, he only saw a few eggs and noodles, which gave a clear picture of how lousy Lin Jiamu’s life had been recently.
He boiled some water, made two bowls of egg noodles, and brought them out.
"There’s not much food at home, just make do with this." Long Xiao said, looking at Lin Jiamu.
Lin Jiamu put down the wine bottle, walked to the dining table, and sat down.
Suddenly he asked, "When did you come back?"
Long Xiao picked up his chopsticks, fiddled with the noodles, and said, "Came back yesterday, took care of some business outside."
"Mm." Lin Jiamu didn’t say anything, ate a bite of noodles, which were too hot, and simply put down the chopsticks.
He looked up at Long Xiao, the former gang leader has now become a commoner, doing laundry, cooking, fixing pipes - he can do anything.
Having been used to delicacies, now he enjoys a bowl of ordinary egg noodles with relish.
Thinking about it carefully, he quite admired his adaptability.
In no time, Long Xiao finished his bowl of noodles and wasn’t bothered seeing Lin Jiamu barely touch his.
He picked up his bowl and was about to head to the kitchen when he suddenly said, "That matter wasn’t your fault, ultimately it’s my fault, I’ll go explain it to her, don’t worry too much about it."
Lin Jiamu frowned slightly, "Brother, you’ve already taken on so much for me, no need..."
Long Xiao’s expression was indifferent, "You’re overthinking it, that matter ultimately is all my issue, but we underestimated the woman."
Lin Jiamu glanced at him, understanding his meaning.
"I didn’t expect Tang Miao to be so ruthless, but she has always been that kind of person."
Long Xiao’s expression remained bland, if not for this incident, he wouldn’t have any real impression of Tang Miao.
After all, in his glorious past, many women flocked to him, yet he already had someone in mind and naturally wouldn’t notice other women.
"Do you still like her now?"
"Not anymore." Lin Jiamu shook his head.
He liked Tang Miao mistakenly thinking she was straightforward. Upon seeing her true nature, he naturally kept away from such a vicious woman.
"Then it’s easier to handle." Long Xiao’s coldness in his eyes flickered briefly.
Back then, he could take the blame for his brother; today, he wouldn’t let anyone who harmed his brother off.
Lin Jiamu knew his nature and said nothing.
Whether Tang Miao lived or died, it didn’t matter to him anymore.
Long Xiao took the bowl to the kitchen, cleaned it up, and came out to see Lin Jiamu sitting on the sofa playing with his phone.
He said, "Get some rest early, even a body made of iron can’t withstand playing around like this."
Lin Jiamu didn’t move, seeming hesitant, as if he was struggling with some issue.
"What’s wrong?" Long Xiao asked in confusion.
Lin Jiamu sighed, "Today is Mu Yan’s birthday, I don’t know whether to send birthday wishes to her."
Long Xiao blinked, birthday huh, he hadn’t really paid attention to that.
However, he couldn’t offer any advice to Lin Jiamu.
"I have some things to attend to, I’ll head out first."
It seemed Lin Jiamu didn’t hear, staring at his phone, until the door closed and the room quieted down, did he realize it.
