363 A Sudden Showdown
“Miss Jiang, do you want to take a bath? Zhuang Qi started to speak and gestured in the direction of the washroom.

Jiang Tong smiled, thought for a moment, and then went straight to the bathroom. At this moment, Zhuang Qi also moved and followed Jiang Tong in.

The next day, at seven o’clock in the morning, Jiang Tong opened her eyes on time. She looked at the ceiling and smiled, then turned to look at the man next to her. Zhuang Qi was still asleep. She glanced at Zhuang Qi, then quickly closed her eyes again and continued sleeping.

There was nothing urgent today. Moreover, Jiang Tong officially went to bed very late last night. She only went to bed at three or four o’clock in the wee hours of the morning.

More than an hour later, Lin Muyu arrived first at a cafe in Chaoyang District. Jiang Tong walked into the cafe and Lin Muyu greeted her with a smile. After they sat down, the two of them chatted for a while before they started to talk about her becoming Lin Huanhuan’s home tutor. In fact, many things had already been said yesterday. What was said today was a bit repetitive, but it was more detailed. After that, they talked about when Jiang Tong was free and the tuition fees. Lin Muyu increased the price by many times, even offering a price of 5000 an hour. As long as his daughter could recover, he was really willing to spend money!

“Miss Jiang, if you really don’t have the time to come to Jingdu frequently, I can consider traveling to City Z during the summer break. It will be more convenient for you to teach. We can rent a house there and stay there for a while. We can return to Jingdu after Huanhuan starts school.” Lin Muyu was so desperate that he had even gone to this extent to persuade her.

“Go to City Z hmm…” a subtle smile appeared on Jiang Tong’s face. She looked out of the window, smiled, and paused. She asked, “Aren’t you afraid that Shao Ying will find out that you took your daughter and left Jingdu without permission?”

A sudden showdown! Lin Muyu was obviously stunned! Then, his eyes suddenly widened as he stared straight at Jiang Tong with a horrified expression.

Lin Muyu stared at Jiang Tong with his eyes wide open. His heart was already in a state of shock. There was a buzzing sound in his head, and suddenly, something was wrong with his entire body. Fear. There was already fear in Lin Muyu’s eyes. The one who made him feel fear was not Shao Ying, but rather the one who mentioned Shao Ying’s name – Jiang Tong! It was obvious that Jiang Tong was coming for him!

When Lin Muyu heard Jiang Tong mention Shao Ying’s name, he immediately knew that Jiang Tong was there for him. Although he didn’t want to believe it, and he didn’t want to believe it, it was the truth! There was no other possibility.

Lin Muyu had not seen Shao Ying for many years. However, they would contact each other on the phone every year. Shao Ying would pay for Lin Huanhuan’s child support. Sometimes, they would talk on the phone, and sometimes, they wouldn’t. Moreover, Lin Muyu was not a Jingdu local. No one knew about his past in Jingdu and he didn’t have any friends. Thus, no one had come to disturb him all these years. In his current life, no one knew what he had experienced before and no one knew the name ‘Shao Ying’. At least, that was what Lin Muyu thought. However, in the past ten years, there had been a few cases where women pursued him but suddenly distanced themselves from him. Lin Muyu could imagine what had happened. He knew that he had no hope in his life. Lin Muyu didn’t think about anything else. He just wanted Lin Huanhuan to be well. As long as Lin Huanhuan was well, he would rather live in Shao Ying’s shadow for the rest of his life.

But Lin Muyu never thought that Jiang Tong would actually say Shao Ying’s name! Lin Muyu did not believe in coincidences. It was precisely because he knew that it was not a coincidence that he was afraid. He was the one who looked for Jiang Tong first. Everything was initiated by him, so he was even more afraid. He felt as if he was being controlled. When he thought of this, Lin Muyu’s entire body turned cold.

Jiang Tong maintained her smile as she looked at Lin Muyu. Lin Muyu did not seem to have recovered from the shock and was looking at Jiang Tong with a horrified expression. The two of them looked at each other. In fact, Jiang Tong’s words revealed a lot of information. Jiang Tong must have known what he and Shao Ying had been through in the past, as well as the situation over the years. The more he thought about it, the colder Lin Muyu felt. He was scared by Jiang Tong.

“Actually, your worries are unnecessary,” Jiang Tong smiled and said to Lin Muyu, “When you brought Lin Huanhuan out for a trip, you didn’t tell her in advance. Shao Ying knew about it and mentioned it to you on the phone, but it was just a brief mention. Shao Ying doesn’t have someone watching you all the time. She doesn’t care about many things. As long as you don’t bring Lin Huanhuan overseas, you can go anywhere in the country.”
