Li Xiang felt that he would have to confess this matter sooner or later.
Now might be the best time to speak out.
Even if Zhang Ling wants to turn around and stop talking to him after hearing the truth about this matter, he has a reason not to embarrass each other.
That means he also made a serious joke!
He felt that if this reason was really used, it would only mean that his fate with Zhang Ling was over.
As Chen Jian said, there is no need to continue pursuing her shamelessly.
He suddenly had the urge to confess, and he felt that it was not good to hide the person he loved most.
Love should be honest with each other!
Although the current society regards honesty as stupidity, he would rather be a fool than continue to hide Zhang Ling.
Of course, another reason is that Zhen Li wanted to entrust Muzi with the latest task.
Even if he persuades Zhang Ling to attend the Li family sacrifice together.
Even if she goes as the girlfriend of the boss of Zhihua Technology, Zhang Ling must realize in advance that she is actually a migrant worker.
It's not that he didn't know the risks of doing so.
But he felt that if his identity was exposed in the future, it would not be a bad thing to return to his own identity as a migrant worker and learn her clear attitude towards her identity as a migrant worker in advance.
Li Xiang's thoughts at this time were not only complicated but also somewhat contradictory.
Human beings are inherently a complex of contradictions.
Zhang Ling heard the unusualness of Li Xiang's question.
Although she had already noticed it and knew some information about the real Li Xiang, she was still a little at a loss when she was suddenly asked about it in person by Li Xiang.
There was a trace of worry in her heart, worried that Li Xiang might have noticed her thoughts.
A substitute, how can a person with an independent personality be willing to be someone else's substitute?
She wouldn't be willing to do it either.
She carefully observed his facial expression and asked tentatively with a smile:
"It's a joke! How can you be a migrant worker? I didn't expect Mr. Li to be so serious when he talked about joking. I kind of believed it at first glance."
When Li Xiang heard her words, he looked like a stone sculpture. There was no change in his expression, and he didn't even blink his eyelids.
This lasted for about ten seconds before he finally twitched the muscles at the corners of his mouth and said still seriously:
"I know that in the subconscious mind of many people nowadays, when the word migrant worker is mentioned, they automatically give it a derogatory connotation just like the waitress."
Zhang Ling listened to Li Xiang's statement and nodded to show that she was listening.
He mistakenly thought that Zhang Ling agreed with this statement and continued:
"I just want to know if you know my true identity as a migrant worker. Will your attitude be the same as the first time she saw me?"
When she heard Li Xiang's clearly directed narrative, she felt as if her character was being tested.
Let’s not talk about the answer to the question yet?
This feeling of being interviewed is really uncomfortable.
She was somewhat aroused by this question.
"Li Xiang, the first time I had tea with you here, like her, I didn't know your true identity! Have you forgotten?"
Li Xiang suddenly realized that he shouldn't ask this question.
He immediately smiled and tried to redeem himself:
"It's a joke. Because you told a joke before, I also had the idea of teasing you. Do you think it's funny?"
Zhang Ling didn't think he was just joking.
She looked at him more seriously and asked:
"No, do you have something to say to me?"
This is not the first time that they sit and drink tea together.
From the moment he sat down, she could clearly sense that he was radiating uneasiness.
It's a bit like the nervousness you feel when you meet for the first time.
This reaction is obviously inappropriate!
"Oh, I do have something to tell you. It's just..." He looked at her and said hesitantly.
Her intuition told her that Li Xiang would have to explain the invitation letter next.
It's just that Li Xiang's speaking style is very different from before.
She couldn't help but complain:
"Interesting! You are always so abnormal today! You speak hesitantly, not at all like the resolute Mr. Li who is often mentioned in the news."
"Okay, I admit that I am not Mr. Li today."
He frankly admitted that he was indeed not Mr. Li.
But Zhang Ling obviously didn't realize his calmness, and urged impatiently:
"Stop beating around the bush and tell me what you have to say."
Li Xiang continued to describe his point of view in this special way:
"You must know that Mr. Li's family sacrifice is about to begin. So I guess you may have learned about it not long ago."
Zhang Ling nodded slightly, confirming that the man in front of her had a normal mind and made correct logical guesses.
However, his way of expressing it really made her a little uncomfortable.
It feels like he said something about someone else.
She forced herself to believe that he was just like him in a movie.
At this time, he was acting as another personality to express one thing.
Because she still wants to continue to regard him as a substitute for her first love.
He got her reply and continued:
"This time, Mr. Li was asked to bring his girlfriend to the family sacrifice. I wonder, Zhang Ling, what do you think?"
Zhang Ling was amused by Li Xiang's way of expressing herself and continued to laugh for a while.
Li Xiang asked with an embarrassed look:
"You think this question is ridiculous?"
She really thought Li Xiang was really funny!
Not long ago, Shangguan Aoxue just showed the invitation letter in front of her.
Didn't he already choose to let Shangguan Aoxue attend the family sacrifice?
Now he even shamelessly came to ask her what she thought.
Wouldn't he be able to tell that she was hiding a secret behind her smile?
No, now is not the time to be impulsive. She still wants to see what Li Xiang wants to express?
Zhang Ling stopped her smile and said:
"I guess you want to ask if I would like to play Mr. Li's girlfriend and attend the Li family sacrifice."
Li Xiang nodded and said:
"Sure enough, talking to you who is smart is always so relaxing and pleasant."
He was happy, but she was not happy at all.
Zhang Ling hadn't gotten the answer she wanted yet, so she continued to suppress her anger and said:
"Before answering this question, I would like to know what role you play in asking me this question?"
She just wanted to see what kind of personality Li Xiang was playing in front of her?
Shangguan Aoxue's current boyfriend.
This was the answer she felt he should give the most.
Li Xiang said without any hesitation:
"Of course, as Xiaodouzi's father, I am asking about Xiaodouzi's mother."
This answer caused her to fall into brief doubt.
Is it possible that Shangguan Aoxue is not related to Li Xiang?
No, it shouldn’t be!
The invitation letter says it all.
Moreover, Shangguan Aoxue came to her for tea more than once because of him.
She also showed off the birthday gift Li Xiang gave her while drinking tea.
So there must be a close relationship between them.
What was she sure she should have ignored?
Thinking back and analyzing Li Xiang's somewhat strange remarks since entering the teahouse.
Then she asked with a smile:
"Then do you want me to go as Mr. Li's girlfriend, or do you not want me to go?"
Based on Li Xiang's answer, she guessed that he regarded her as his lover.
I wonder which man would allow his lover to become someone else’s girlfriend?
Naturally, she felt that this answer was obviously unacceptable.
"I hope you go."
Li Xiang's answer almost shocked Zhang Ling's jaw.
She was not happy because of this answer, but her face was full of anger on the spot, and she was ready to raise her hand and want to slap him to death.
She didn't even realize that Li Xiang was such a scumbag!
I already have Shangguan Aoxue, but I still fantasize about taking her with me.
Does he think he is an ancient emperor?
You should have the privilege of hugging me from left to right!
Thinking of this, the anger in her heart quickly rushed to her forehead.
"but……"
When she heard the word "but", she restrained her previous impulse and continued to listen as he prepared what else he wanted to say.
"I don't want you to go there under the guise of Mr. Li's girlfriend."
Zhang Ling laughed angrily at these words, but she still wanted to understand what he was thinking today?
"What's the difference? It sounds like there's no difference to me."
Li Xiang seemed to see that Zhang Ling's anger had reached the breaking point, so he explained with a smile:
"There is a difference! As Xiaodouzi's father, I think you should know that I love Xiaodouzi's mother very much. I can't wait to pile her in a honey jar and worship her like a god."
He felt that this was the best explanation.
It will not reveal that I am the real Li Xiang's stand-in, but it will also allow me to have a clear identity, so that it can successfully exist in her heart.
When Zhang Ling heard what Li Xiang said, the anger that had surged in her heart dissipated, and was replaced by the feeling of happiness at being indirectly confessed.
She really hoped that this feeling of happiness would last as long as possible.
She responded with a bit of shyness in her expectant smile:
"Go on."
"So naturally I will not allow Xiaodouzi's mother to participate in Mr. Li's family sacrifice as his girlfriend."
She clearly felt that there was something wrong with Li Xiang's statement, so she sneered and asked:
"Don't you think there is an obvious inconsistency in what you said?"
"No contradiction!" He replied firmly.
She suddenly became interested and wanted to hear Li Xiang's explanation?
"I hope you will go because I hope you will only regard me as Xiaodouzi's father, not Mr. Li of Zhihua Technology."
Zhang Ling's puzzled eyes blinked as if she were anticipating his next narration.
"I don't want you to go because I think about it as Xiaodouzi's father. There is no man in this world who is willing to let the mother of his child participate in any activities with the identity given to her by another man.
.”
She said with a hint of ridicule in her laughter:
"Isn't this all you? You said this to me to be funny! If so, you did it. These words are indeed very interesting!"
She looked at him and explained seriously:
"You are wrong. These two identities are not the same. Because there is an essential difference between the two identities."
"The difference! Can you tell me more specifically?"
Zhang Ling really can’t think of any essential difference at the moment?
In her opinion, these two were just two identities that he knew Li Xiang had.
"Mr. Li is just the big boss of Zhihua Technology, and this identity is definitely not Xiaodouzi's father. Because Xiaodouzi's father is really a migrant worker."
Zhang Ling sneered, then said with some excitement:
"Don't you really think your statement is funny? One moment you are a migrant worker, and another moment you are a big boss. What a mess. Do you think you are an excellent actor acting? The kind of person who plays two roles.
.”
She felt that Li Xiang would be able to speak normally after hearing this.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiang was just stunned for a moment, and then said with a calm smile that confused her:
"That's right! Your description is really appropriate."
"Appropriate, right?" Zhang Ling stood up, leaned forward slightly, and with a bit of gnashing of teeth, poured the tea in her teacup on Li Xiang's face, and shouted loudly, "Asshole! You do this,
What are you going to do with that Shangguan secretary?"
When the waiter heard Zhang Ling's scolding, he stood watching not far away with a smile on his face as if he were watching a show.
I feel like the reminder to Li Xiang just now worked.
I just don’t understand why a Shangguan secretary appeared out of nowhere?
"Shangguan Aoxue! What does this matter have to do with her?"
Li Xiang wiped the tea from his face, grabbed the wrist of Zhang Ling who was about to leave because of rage, and asked.
However, after he asked, he immediately understood the reason.
What must Shangguan Aoxue have done?
This caused Zhang Ling to misunderstand him.
That's why I ignored him inexplicably for several days.
This Shangguan Aoxue is also very strange!
During the period of time when Zhang Ling ignored him, he disappeared as if he had evaporated from the world.
Even if he wanted to find any clues from Shangguan Aoxue, it became impossible.
Seeing that she was caught by Li Xiang, Zhang Ling couldn't be rough with him in public, so she could only look at him with hatred and said:
"You gave the invitation letter to Shangguan Aoxue first, which means you have chosen her."
When she said this, she saw Li Xiang's eyes widened in surprise.
He wanted to open his mouth to refute, but as soon as he said the word "I", she stopped him and said:
"Don't speak, wait until I finish speaking."
He could only helplessly motion for her to continue.
"So you still dare to lick your face and come to me to ask me if I'm willing. Haha, that's funny! Can your face, Li Xiang, be a little thicker?"
Li Xiang basically understood what happened after hearing this.
He took out the invitation letter from his body and said solemnly:
"No, can you take a closer look to see if it's this invitation?"
Zhang Ling glanced at the person she was just about to confirm was going to go. After comparing the images in her mind, she noticed the difference in the invitation letter.
On the seal of the invitation letter in Li Xiang's hand, there is a red jade character "李", which is similar to a red wax seal.
However, the invitation letter Shangguan Aoxue showed her did not include this small ruby trinket.
Her excitement calmed down obviously, and she turned to look a little ashamed. She took the invitation and looked at the contents and said:
"Except for the red wax seal trinket, other aspects of the invitations are the same. Could it be that the invitation in Shangguan Aoxue's hand is fake?"
"You haven't seen the authenticity. It can only be said that the invitation letter in her hand is also authentic. But the invitation letters are also different. Invitations from immediate family members will have this kind of wax-sealed trinket that represents the identity. But...
…”
Speaking of this, Li Xiang felt a little weird.
The invitation letter in Shangguan Aoxue's hand was actually the same as the invitation letter in his hand, except for the material, color, etc.
As far as he knew, the content of Zhen Li Xiang's invitation letter was different from that of other direct family members.
Then it can only mean that someone in the family colluded with Shangguan Aoxue and made a copy of the real invitation letter from Li Xiang.
Zhang Ling saw Li Xiang lowering his head solemnly and asked curiously:
"But what?"
Li Xiang suddenly raised his head, put on a smile and said:
"It's okay! I thought of something, but it has nothing to do with you."
The misunderstanding was solved, Zhang Ling felt relieved, and she didn't want to pursue anything else for the time being.
Li Xiang seemed to have a justified reason and looked at her and asked:
"However, how can you ignore me because of such a trivial matter? I can't even get through your phone call."
Zhang Ling deliberately said angrier than him:
"Can't you get through? I think you just don't want to get through."
Because she had already removed Li Xiang’s mobile phone number from the blacklist.
