Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

Si Nian stood between the two cars, blocking most of Lin Tinghan's view.

Xie Jingyao, on the other hand, kept blasting his horn.

A sudden and jarring sound kept ringing out behind me.

Although Si Nian didn't look at Xie Jingyao anymore, she felt as if several holes had been punched through her back.

Lin Tinghan turned his head to look out of the car in confusion. Seeing this, Si Nian got into the car and closed the passenger door.

Lin Tinghan frowned and said, "No one is blocking his way, why is he pressing the button? He's acting like he's sick."

The moment Si Nian closed the door, Xie Jingyao's car shot off like an arrow, without stopping.

Lin Tinghan's attention returned to Si Nian. As he drove, he said to Si Nian, "Niannian, I admit I didn't handle Bi Tong's matter well. I apologize to you, but she's in detention right now and can't come out to deal with this for you."

"So, she really did lock the lounge door at the time?"

Lin Tinghan gets a headache just thinking about it.

"During this time, there was some misunderstanding. Bi Tong cried very pitifully. She even swore that she didn't mean to harm you. She was just afraid that the fire would spread and shine on your rest room. She didn't know you were inside, but it is true that she accidentally locked you in there. The police will hold her accountable. They should contact you later."

"..."

Lin Tinghan changed the subject, "Niannian, are you really willing to cooperate with me in announcing Hengheng's identity?"

"I will cooperate with you within the time limit."

"Okay, Niannian, it's good that you're here to help me." Lin Tinghan reached out and grasped Si Nian's hand.

Si Nian subconsciously tried to pull away, but Lin Tinghan gripped her tightly again.

"Niannian, as long as I secure the regeneration project from Lairui Technology, Hengheng will have the resources to return to the Lin family. I've been discussing this project with the person in charge at Lairui for nearly half a year, and the Lin family has a significant advantage in this area."

Si Nian had heard about Lairui Technology's AI regeneration technology.

Six months ago, when Lin Tinghan first came into contact with this project, she was full of confidence, but later she became extremely anxious and irritable for a period of time.

Si Nian made some inquiries and learned that among their many rivals, there had emerged a group that could provide the same level of support as the Lin family, without any clear advantage.

That person was Xie Jingyao.

At first, Lin Tinghan thought Xie Jingyao wanted to get involved and share the profits.

He and Xie Jingyao remained "good buddies," and the Lin family even proposed a marriage between Lin Wenshuang and Xie Jingyao.

Later, Xie Jingyao not only rejected the marriage proposal, but also pressed Lin Tinghan step by step during the cooperation negotiations, as if he wanted to kick Lin Tinghan out of the game and take the lead.

At that time, Lin Tinghan couldn't stand Xie Jingyao no matter what.

Lin Tinghan briefly explained the situation to Si Nian. Si Nian didn't know what new bargaining chip Lin Tinghan had acquired that gave him so much more confidence in cooperating with Larry.

Lin Tinghan originally intended to drive Si Nian back to Jinghe Garden.

Si Nian refused, saying, "Take me back to Yun Jin Mansion instead."

"Why don't you go home? What are you doing over there?"

"My brother's death anniversary is coming soon, and I want to stay there a little longer."

Lin Tinghan had a lot to say, but it was stuck in his throat.

"Yes, it'll be soon. We'll go to pay our respects to Brother Huai on the anniversary of his death." Lin Tinghan turned the steering wheel and changed direction.

Upon arriving at their destination, Lin Tinghan turned off the engine and instinctively followed Si Nian upstairs.

Aren't you going back to Jingheyuan?

"We haven't spent time together in a long time, so I'll keep you company today."

"No need, and the house is quite messy and there's no extra room for you to stay in."

Si Nian stood at the elevator entrance, motionless.

Hearing the unmistakably unfamiliar tone, Lin Tinghan frowned: "I can just stay with you, why do I need a separate room?"

After saying that, he used facial recognition to press the elevator button and pulled Si Nian inside.

Si Nianxin deleted his door lock recognition, but forgot to delete his elevator facial recognition.
