Prison Marriage

Chapter 56 Greed

Tan Jin looked at the beautiful woman on the screen and couldn't take her eyes off at all. She and Mo Xiangbei were a perfect match.

"Her name is Lin Ling, and she was a top student in the same department as I was in college." He Qingmao stared at the TV and spoke slowly.

"Same department? Still a top student? Haven't you been in touch since you graduated?" Tan Jin looked at He Qingzhao with doubts in his eyes.

"I haven't talked to her, and there is no contact or no contact. I just heard that she went to the United States to study. She should have been back not long ago. But how did Mo Xiangbei find her?"

Tan Jin turned off the TV, thinking back on Lin Ling's haughty temperament and pretty face, she was suddenly a little scared.

She didn't know what she was afraid of, He Qingmao left because of Feng Chao's affairs.

Tan Jin immediately called Shen Yuyan.

"Hello, stepmother, I'm Xiaojin, do you know Lin Ling's phone number?" Tan Jin hung up the phone, and after a while, she received a message from Shen Yuyan on her phone.

She immediately called Lin Ling. Lin Ling was on his way back to Mo's house. Tan Jin was relieved that he was not with Mo Xiangbei.

She made an appointment with Lin Ling to go to Fengchao's coffee shop tomorrow morning, and when she hung up the phone, Tan Jin suddenly lost his mind.

What exactly do you want to say?

Do you want to tell Lin Ling that you haven't given up on Mo Xiangbei?

Tan Jin touched her belly that was not yet swollen, thinking of He Qingmao, she suddenly felt conflicted.

But when he faced Lin Ling, Tan Jin finally understood what his worries were.

"Ms. Tan, hello."

Lin Ling is very polite, temperament is something that cannot be faked.

Tan Jin sat on the chair, she looked haggard without makeup, but she was still so glamorous that people couldn't take their eyes off.

"Miss Tan is really incomprehensible, Mr. Mo often mentions you."

Tan Jin asked Lin Ling to sit down politely, and Lin Ling bent over.

"What's Miss Lin drinking?" Tan Jin looked at Lin Ling's indifferent expression, trying to keep her calm.

"Miss Tan." Lin Ling smiled. She seemed to see Tan Jin's purpose today. She was also very uncertain, but she still had to keep calm.

Tan Jin ordered two cups of coffee.

"It's said that Ms. Lin didn't know Mo Xiangbei before?" Tan Jin didn't know what to say, so he had to tell Lin Ling's background first.

"Yes, Mr. Mo and I didn't know each other before."

"Then, why did you suddenly arrive at Shen's?"

"Grandpa Shen said he needs a talent, so I'm here." Lin Ling looked out of the window with an unusually calm tone.

"Talent? Miss Lin is really immodest."

Tan Jin smiled, her throat was dry, just at this time, the coffee came.

Tan Jin took a sip of coffee and continued, "I heard from my husband that Ms. Lin used to be his classmate with good grades..."

"Your husband is He Qingzhao, he was a famous man at that time." Lin Ling recalled for a while, and smiled contemptuously, "But his grades are not very good."

"Grade grades are nothing. Later, I heard that Ms. Lin went abroad, right?" Tan Jin held the coffee cup, and the heat of the coffee made Tan Jin feel relieved.

"That's right. But..." Lin Ling paused, "I don't think the purpose of Miss Tan looking for me today is not to know about my past."

Lin Ling looked at Tan Jin with a depth in his eyes that Tan Jin couldn't see through.

Tan Jin put down the coffee cup, her palms were already sweating, "That's right, I'm not looking for Ms. Lin to catch up on the old days. I heard that Ms. Lin has..."

"I'm Mo Xiangbei's secretary and assistant. I help him manage Shen's. The Shen's jewelry business you know was proposed by me."

Tan Jin was a little surprised, but she didn't shy away from it, "Miss Lin is a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush. I came to you today mainly to ask you about your feelings towards Mo Xiangbei..."

Lin Ling was taken aback for a moment, "To Mr. Mo..."

"Don't tell me how you feel about Mo Xiangbei..." Tan Jin picked up the cup, the coffee was already a little cold, and when it passed down his throat, it was indescribably uncomfortable,

"Me to Mr. Mo? Ms. Tan may be joking. There is no relationship between Mr. Mo and I. We are just working..." Lin Ling explained unhurriedly, but in Tan Jin's view, it was indeed a cover-up.

"Relationship at work?"

Tan Jin stared at Lin Ling closely, not letting go of any flaws in her expression, but Lin Ling's cover-up was excellent, and she didn't catch any flaws in her expression that could make a fuss.

Lin Ling looked at Tan Jin, his eyes didn't even flicker.

Tan Jin tried his best to keep calm, but Lin Ling seemed to see Tan Jin's concerns.

"Miss Tan doesn't have to worry about the relationship between me and Mo Xiangbei. I think, as a good friend of Mo Xiangbei, Miss Tan also hopes that Mo Xiangbei has a good working partner and companion..."

It's not that Tan Jin couldn't hear what Lin Ling said. She knew that Lin Ling was telling herself not to meddle in her own business.

"Since Ms. Lin knows about the relationship between me and Mo Xiangbei, then I don't need to say much for you to understand. You'd better not have any thoughts about Mo Xiangbei."

"If I understand correctly, is Miss Tan telling me not to like Mo Xiangbei?" Lin Ling's sharp words made Tan Jin not know how to answer.

"Is Ms. Tan a bit greedy? I have one in my family, do I have to take care of other people? I think everything between me and Mo Xiangbei has nothing to do with Ms. Tan, right?"

Tan Jin's face was on fire, but she didn't lose her temper.

"Miss Lin misunderstood, I just want to tell Miss Lin, since you want to help Mo Xiangbei, then do it well and don't let other things interfere with you."

"Miss Tan doesn't have to worry about this at all. I do things in my own way." After Lin Ling finished speaking, she left, leaving Tan Jin staring at the table in a daze.

Tan Jin was even more uncertain, she didn't even understand the reason why she asked Lin Ling to come over this time.

She sighed and returned to He's house, but before entering the door, she saw Mo Xiangjia's car.

She rushed in, but saw that Mo Xiangjia was just sitting on the opposite side of Grandpa He and He Qingmao. When Tan Jin came back, Mo Xiangjia stood up, "Sister Tan, you are back."

Tan Jin smiled, not knowing how to answer, but just nodded.

"You said tomorrow is Shen Yushen's birthday?"

Grandpa He sat on the sofa and looked at Mo Xiangjia. He Qingmao just looked down at his phone. Tan Jin walked over to look down at He Qingmao, only to find that he was just playing a game.

Tan Jin was a little helpless, and looked up at Mo Xiangjia, "Grandpa Shen's birthday? Should he be 70 years old?"

Mo Xiangjia nodded, "This is the first time grandpa has entertained guests since he was discharged from the hospital. It just happened to be at this time, and grandpa's body has always been unstable, and his heart..."

"Then this time, it's a joy." Grandpa He looked at Mo Xiangjia, who was embarrassed.

"You can put it this way, because my brother is busy with the company, so my mother asked me to invite you over." Mo Xiangjia took out the invitation card, which was written by Mo Xiangbei himself.

Tan Jin took it over, "We will arrive on time tomorrow."

Mo Xiangjia smiled and nodded. "Then I'll go back first."

Tan Jin also nodded, "Be careful on the road."

Tan Jin handed the invitation to Grandpa He and He Qingmao, but He Qingmao just glanced at it and didn't speak.

Grandpa He said: "Shen Yushen's [-]th birthday, I have to go and see."

At around six o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Tan Jin, He Qingzhao, and Grandpa He arrived at the Mo's mansion.

There were not many guests inside, but all of them were good friends of Shen Yushen.

Mo Xiangbei was standing by the dining table, and Lin Ling beside him was wearing formal attire, unlike other female relatives who were wearing formal attire.

She was talking to Mo Xiangbei when she saw Tan Jin.He just nodded, and Mo Xiangbei just nodded politely.

Mo Xiangjia ran over, took Tan Jin's hand, and said, "Sister Tan, my mother has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Tan Jin followed Mo Xiangjia to Shen Yuyan's side, but Shen Yuyan's face was not happy.

"What's the matter, Grandpa Shen's [-]th birthday, why does the adoptive mother seem unhappy?" Tan Jin held Shen Yuyan's hand, and Shen Yuyan just sighed.

"Xiao Jin, the situation of Grandpa Shen is not optimistic. I also hope that this big birthday will make him a little bit happier." Shen Yuyan looked at Shen Yushen who was sitting on the grand master's chair over there.

"The doctor always tells us to be on guard, I don't know the old man..."

Mo Xiangjia patted Shen Yuyan on the shoulder, "Mom, don't think so much, grandpa will definitely be lucky."

Tan Jin also nodded, "Grandpa Shen will be fine, you see how energetic he is."

Shen Yuyan just frowned, Shen Yushen was still very happy, because almost all of his lifelong friends came, even He Muqing came.

Grandpa He walked up to Shen Yushen, "Old Man Shen, I'm coming!"

Shen Yushen smiled deeply, "I haven't seen you for a long time! Old man He." Shen Yushen seemed very happy, but he was a little agitated. He coughed a few times, and Mo Xiangbei saw him and ran over quickly.

"Grandpa, are you okay?" The girl beside Mo Xiangbei caught Grandpa He's attention.

"Xiang Bei, who is this?"

"Her name is Lin Ling, and I arranged to be Mo Xiangbei's assistant." Shen Yushen took Mo Xiangbei's hand and said, "Xiang Bei, Lin Ling is a good girl, you, treat her well..."

Mo Xiangbei was stunned, he looked at Lin Ling in embarrassment, "We are just working, Grandpa, have you forgotten?"

Shen Yu laughed deeply, "I haven't forgotten! But Xiangbei, you have to think about your life's major events!"

Lin Ling stood straight beside Mo Xiangbei. Almost everyone present could hear Shen Yushen's words. Tan Jin also looked over. Lin Ling and Tan Jin looked at each other. The smile in Lin Ling's eyes made Tan Jin somewhat displeased. Understand.

Grandpa He also patted Mo Xiangbei on the shoulder, "Yes. Even I can't stand it anymore. You are already this old, it's time to think about it. The person your grandfather chose..."

Mo Xiangbei smiled, "I'm mainly thinking about the company's affairs now, and I don't want to think about getting married yet."

But when he said this, he glanced at Tan Jin's direction. Grandpa He noticed it, and he smiled meaningfully.

"Well, the young man is very courageous!"

Suddenly, Shen Yu clutched his chest deeply, his painful expression made Mo Xiangbei panic.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you, Grandpa?" Shen Yushen was already unconscious.

Lin Ling immediately performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation for Shen Yushen, "Call an ambulance!"
