Chapter 70.2: If heaven has love, then it will also age. If people have love, they will die early.

As soon as Bai DuanDuan had this thought, she decided to act on it immediately. After the other colleagues left, she quietly moved to Rong Sheng’s side and followed him into his private office.

“Mr. Rong, do you have a moment?”

Rong Sheng looked up and looked at Bai DuanDuan with a puzzled expression, “What’s the matter?”

“I want to ask you about some things regarding Ji Lin.”

Rong Sheng had left on his business trip before Ji Lin and Bai DuanDuan announced their relationship publicly. He had just returned to the office and had not been informed about Ji Lin’s status. He was somewhat confused and asked, “Can’t you just ask Ji Lin directly?”

Rong Sheng quickly calculated in his mind. It was rare that she had a request for him. According to convention, he should take advantage of the favorable situation and ask for some benefits. As for what benefits…

Rong Sheng almost blurted out a set of benefits without even thinking. “If you really want to know, I can tell you. But you know, since you’ve admitted that it’s not convenient to ask Ji Lin, and he doesn’t want to tell you, if I tell you, I might face Ji Lin’s pressure. Even our trust and friendship might be in danger. Ji Lin is a friend I cherish and cannot replace…”

Although he said so, Rong Sheng was very clear in his heart. Even if he revealed what happened to Ji Lin in detail, Ji Lin wouldn’t be angry with him. If it were someone else, they might feel embarrassed by their past weaknesses and struggles, but Ji Lin was different. He was a person with a strong and calm inner strength, and he could face his past calmly. He didn’t want to talk about it, he just didn’t want to recall those disgusting dark times.

Of course, Rong Sheng still couldn’t figure out why Ji Lin didn’t expose Lin Hui’s hypocrisy in front of everyone back then. It was obvious that he could have pointed out everything in detail, and it would have been enough to embarrass Lin Hui.

Now that Bai DuanDuan was sitting in front of him and actively seeking verification, Rong Sheng felt that it was a heaven-sent opportunity. It was a gift from above! If he didn’t take advantage of it, he would be letting himself down!

Bai DuanDuan could naturally understand Rong Sheng’s words, and to her surprise, she didn’t expect Rong Sheng to be a loyal and trustworthy person who would never betray his teammates. She used to think that he wasn’t a decent person when he went to that shady nightclub near her house. But now, Bai DuanDuan felt that she owed Rong Sheng an apology. She didn’t expect him to be so protective of Ji Lin, and such a loyal and virtuous man couldn’t be a bad person.

Bai DuanDuan was deeply moved, and she immediately wanted to explain her relationship with Jilin and why she didn’t ask him directly, in order to ease Rongsheng’s concerns. “You don’t have to worry about that. Jilin and I actually have a…”

However, Rong Sheng interrupted her and said, “As you know, Ji Lin and I have been good friends for almost twenty years. If you want me to betray my friend and give away his information, you’ll have to offer me something in return, right?”

“… ” Bai Duan Duan was at a loss for words, “Didn’t you just say that Ji Lin is your irreplaceable friend?”

Rong Sheng didn’t feel any burden at all and smiled, “You don’t understand. If heaven has love, then it will also age. If people have love, they will die early. Have you heard of that?”

“…”

“Since Ji Lin and I are such good friends, what’s wrong with me betraying some of his personal information to get some benefits for myself? As a good friend, isn’t this what he should do? Now I’m just giving him this honor and opportunity!”

“… ” Bai DuanDuan didn’t want to mention her relationship with Ji Lin anymore. She looked at Rong Sheng expressionlessly, “So, what’s your price?”

“I don’t want much. How about you cook me three free dinners? It won’t be too much trouble. Just make an extra serving for your dinner and I’ll come over and eat and drink.” Rong Sheng’s eyes lit up at the mention of Bai DuanDuan’s dinner. “Honestly, I’ve been craving this dish for days. You should know that my request is not high, it’s not unreasonable. You can think of it as just treating a colleague to a meal.”

“You really don’t ask for much,” Bai DuanDuan thought to herself. “Just three meals? I’m afraid you won’t even be able to handle one and then fly away like a crane…”

However, since Rong Sheng begged so humbly and even betrayed Ji Lin without any struggle for the sake of three meals, how could she not fulfill his lifelong wish before he died after eating?

So Bai DuanDuan agreed to this “deal” without hesitation, “Okay, no problem. I will personally cook three meals for you and guarantee that you won’t feel any less satisfied, I’ll make sure it’s heavenly.”

Rong Sheng had no idea what “heavenly” meant, but his face was beaming with a smile. “Okay, okay, it’s a deal.”

He felt like he hit the jackpot. Not only did he get three free meals from Bai Duandan by selling out information about Ji Lin, but he could also use his persuasive storytelling skills to further smear Lin Hui and potentially ruin any chance of reconciliation between him and Bai Duandan. Bai Duandan was clearly concerned about this old matter, and had perhaps become suspicious of Lin Hui’s character after coincidentally learning about Ji Lin’s father’s case. If he were to fan the flames a bit, Bai Duandan and Lin Hui might break up, which would still benefit him as he could firmly ally himself with Bai Duandan and Ji Lin, and continue to profit from their association, not to mention continuing to eat well.

God: May I ask why did you die so young? Did you commit heinous crimes?

Rong Sheng: With all due respect, I didn’t do anything wrong.

God: Then why did you come to heaven?

Rong Sheng: I ate the meal made by Bai DuanDuan:)
