Chapter 97: Bits and Pieces
Tang Cheng laughed when he heard Bo Jingshen say "you big young masters," clearly delighted, as though all his previous displeasure had dissipated like smoke in the air.
His eyes curved into crescents, and he no longer had that icy, noble demeanor, instead taking on the appearance of a charming, gentle, and refined gentleman.
With a pair of smiling eyes, Tang Cheng looked at Bo Jingshen and said, "A big young master, hmm? Congratulations, you’ve become one now, too."
Bo Jingshen furrowed his brows. "What do you mean?"
Tang Cheng explained, "It’s quite simple. You are now officially a young master of the Jing Family. To put it even more plainly, like us, you are a legitimate child born within wedlock, even though through a second marriage."
At that moment, Bo Jingshen squeezed the glass in his hand so hard that cracks formed. His mind and thoughts were shattered so completely that he didn’t even notice when Su Lu had left.
He might be naïve, but he understood the meaning behind Tang Cheng’s words.
Yet, when he opened his mouth, the only sound he could muster was a phrase that resembled self-deception, "What do you mean?"
"Come on, with your brains, if you really put your mind to it, Jing Su might not even be a match for you, so stop playing dumb in front of me, will you? I still have to go to the trouble of explaining it to you..." Tang Cheng clicked his tongue twice.
Although he said this, Tang Cheng didn’t mind elucidating further, simply because he was that bored.
After all, just as outsiders perceived, the life paths of big young masters like them were laid out early on – education, studying abroad, career – with absolutely no novelty. Moreover, they usually had no choice in the matter, or rather, they were so accustomed to these arrangements that they couldn’t be bothered to choose.
