"So...that's all?" I asked.

Lin Shaoqiong's story is neither long nor short. When it comes to the engagement part, the store is almost gone.

Although I don't trust him very much, after all, who knows if he is telling the truth, but I am willing to spend hours telling me these things, just for a chance.For a workaholic, it should be hard to come by.

But I can't make him see my wavering." But with all due respect, that doesn't really sound like an excuse. I can understand your situation, and maybe your engagement is just a stopgap measure. But these explanations should not be Tell me what you tell me, and I can’t judge whether you believe it or not.”

"Of course I know," he said, taking a sip of water, and then raised his hand to signal me to be quiet. "But I want you to listen to me first."

"Isn't it over yet?" I asked.

"Objectively speaking, it's over," he said, "but I think it's still necessary to tell you about my next plan, if you want to listen."

"I don't care...but you're not afraid that I'll sell you out?" I said.

"So are you going to listen?" He didn't answer my question directly.

"Listen..." I said, "but I have to go to the bathroom first."

In fact, going to the toilet is false, but thinking about countermeasures is true.I have already been moved by Lin Shaoqiong, at least I should give him a chance, but after hearing what he said, I went to explain to Xie Yulin. In the end, as a middleman, my description may be quite different, and my position is also a problem.

Maybe Xie Yulin would think that I was on Lin Shaoqiong's side, helping him to deceive people - because we are relatives, and Lin Shaoqiong might think that I was ineffective.

In fact, the best way is to let the two of them meet. Lin Shaoqiong should not have said these things to me, but to Xie Yulin.How did I realize it now.

But the problem now is that Xie Yulin may not want to see him at all - looking at his previous attitude, it is also as firm as a rock.Even if I give it to him verbatim, it may not be of any use.

In fact, I also thought of a way, that is, it is enough for Xie Yulin to hear this.I thought of two ways, first, record it, and then send this heartfelt speech to Xie Yulin.

But as I said before, it is definitely not as powerful as the live broadcast.Moreover, things like audio and video recording are the easiest to cause trouble, and the ending is very troublesome.

So here comes the second method.

I can call Xie Yulin now, immediately, and persuade him to listen to Lin Shaoqiong's explanation and the next plan.

It's a good idea, and there's no finishing touch.It's just extremely difficult.First, Xie Yulin may not want to talk to me. If he doesn't answer the phone, I have nothing to do.

Second, if he is busy with something now, such as climbing a mountain or something, then he can't answer the phone.

Apart from the first time, I had to make Lin Shaoqiong undetectable—I guarantee that he would not be able to be so frank in front of Xie Yulin, otherwise the matter would not have developed to this point.

Looking at it this way, it is true that the recording is more realistic.

But... just making a phone call, what can I lose.

If Xie Yulin doesn't answer, there's no way.If he picks up, I can try to convince him over the phone.If you fail again, it's not too late to use the recording method-after all, there is nothing to lose by trying.

I thought about it for a while, and planned to explain to him personally when he answered the phone. After all, information is always less direct than words.

After thinking about it, I dialed his number directly. The good news is that the line was not busy, and it didn't matter, the call was connected.The bad news is that Xie Yulin didn't pick up the phone until he knew it would hang up automatically.

After thinking about it, I sent a message for a brief explanation.

"I have something to ask you." This is the first message.

As I expected, no reply.

I thought about it, and added another: "It's urgent."

Still no reply.

I'm hesitating to make it clear and tell him it's an urgent matter about Lin Shaoqiong.This is a risky move, because once it is done, there are only two outcomes.

First, the plan worked, Xie Yulin answered the phone and everything went well.But considering the other party's previous attitude towards Lin Shaoqiong, I think this possibility is very small.

Then came the second result - Xie Yulin felt that I was meddling in my own business and directly blacklisted me.All the rest are out of play.

It took me a little time to make a choice, but soon I realized one thing - if he is very repulsive to Lin Shaoqiong, even if I choose the recording with the least risk, the result will be the same.Because whether or not all of this can be successful depends on Xie Yulin's attitude.

So, I still sent the third message, "It's about Lin Shaoqiong."

After sending this message, I held my breath and stared at the screen.After about a few minutes, the reply finally came (according to his usual reply speed, it is considered fast).

"what's up."

I immediately dialed the number, just like I thought, it still got through, and Xie Yulin actually answered my call instead of hanging up.

In fact, I didn't even think about what to say, and Xie Yulin didn't say a word.And Lin Shaoqiong is still outside, how long have I been in, maybe 10 minutes, I'm going to make a quick decision.

"Lin Shaoqiong told me some things, about his experience, and... and what happened to you before. Don't rush to hang up, wait for me to finish. I know everything now, including before him..." I deeply He took a breath before continuing, "He was engaged before, but there is a reason!"

After I finished speaking, I paused for a while. Fortunately, Xie Yulin did not hang up the phone. "I guess maybe you'd like to hear it?" I said cautiously.

"Actually, I'm not interested." He was silent for a long time before replying, "Is this what you want to talk about? If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

"I think it's better for you to listen live... Even if you hang up, I'll send you the recording, so why don't you listen to it? Face-to-face is better than recording."

"Then you don't need to post it, and I won't listen to it if you post it."

"Wait, wait!" I was afraid that he would hang up, so I quickly stopped him, "Aren't you curious, what happened to you before? Why did he do this? And... Actually, I don't really believe it, if he lied to me , or a scumbag, can’t you expose him on the spot? Or record a voice to retaliate. If you don’t want to retaliate, at least you can find out the facts. It won’t take up too much of your time, I promise.”

I finished a series of words quickly, a little incoherent.Xie Yulin didn't say anything, but I guess it was tacit consent.

I breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and planned to go out, and suddenly realized that I hadn't reminded the other party, "I said all this secretly, Lin Shaoqiong didn't know, so if possible...keep quiet as much as possible."

I put the phone back in my pocket and took it out when I got back to the seat——Xie Yulin hasn't hung up yet, there is still hope.I took a deep breath and put the phone face down on the table, where I should be able to hear it.

"Sorry for the long wait," I said to Lin Shaoqiong, "Go on, what are you talking about? What are your next plans?"
