When he saw it today...Bo Jingxing's eyes were filled with a hint of anticipation, and he had to admit that this guy was more mischievous than he had imagined!
"Mr. Fred..." Seeing that he didn't agree for a long time, Hai Tong urged him again.
This time Fred seemed to have made up his mind: "I think there is something I must make clear to you."
Haitong felt uneasy. She pursed her lips and lowered her eyelashes, looking young and innocent. "You say."
"I'll just say it straight." Fred really couldn't bear to see her like this, but he was a little scared of being harassed today.
Haitong became even more uneasy.
Fred said bluntly: "I am helping you provide the research data for your paper in Cambridge only because a friend asked me to do so."
What I mean is that it has nothing to do with you personally.
Haitong's face turned pale and she subconsciously glanced to the side.
Bo Jingxing leaned against the railing with a half-smile on his face, treating himself completely as a qualified audience member and having no intention of interrupting.
But his obvious act of watching the fun was like a slap in Haitong's face, burning her face with pain.
She clenched her fingers, her palms were cold. She bit her lip and said, "But I haven't heard you mention this before."
"I thought it was just a small matter, so I didn't mention it on purpose. And you have a close relationship with my friend, so there's no need for me to mention these things."
Fred said naturally.
Haitong looked at him with twinkling eyes: "Who is your friend?"
Fred is the head of IPA, a typical foreigner.
Among her good friends, there seems to be only one person who has this ability.
Haitong's embarrassed expression relaxed, and without waiting for Fred to answer, she immediately asked, "Are you Aina's friend?"
Bo Jingxing: "..." He was just a spectator, but he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to this person's brain circuit. It's pretty cool!
Fred frowned, before he could refute.
Haitong seemed to have eased the embarrassment and said with a smile: "When you mentioned someone I'm close to, I thought of her. Is it Aina?"
Fred must have been unable to bear it any longer. His face was serious. He said, “It’s your aunt.”
Haitong was stunned: "My aunt? Impossible."
Her aunt settled in Hong Kong City and had little contact with her. She would only come back for dinner on her grandmother's birthday, but they didn't see each other on other days. Why would she ask the IPA leader for help
And she doesn't have the ability to do so.
Seeing that she hadn't reacted yet, Bo Jingxing covered his smile with his fist and said, "Well, Fred is talking about Aunt Ye."
Haitong looked at him suddenly.
Bo Jingxing accepted her gaze calmly and said calmly: "Mr. Fred and Aunt Ye have been friends for many years, don't you know?"
Haitong was shocked and finally reacted.
Bo Jingxing ignored her and turned his head to explain to Fred: "Aunt Ye doesn't have a niece. The nephew she mentioned is not a blood relative, but the daughter of an old friend. You should have the same opinion. Aunt Ye may not have made it clear, so you misunderstood."
—No niece, not a blood relative, just the daughter of an old friend...
With just a few words, he completely exposed Haitong's true colors of deceiving herself and others, revealing the truth about the light fruit inside.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Fred looked at her thoughtfully.
All the blood in Haitong's body rushed to the top of her head. Her face turned completely red. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into instead of standing here and humiliating herself.
Fred only spoke a few more words to her for Ye Lan's sake. Now he knows that Hai Tong has little to do with Ye Lan.
