Chapter 1362: Zhai Zhongshen’s Ploys (3)

But the problem was…

Long Yuetian did not know what to say. Her brain was buzzing and short-circuiting.

“I… I’d like to take some time to think about it,” Long Yuetian managed to say.

“Of course,” Zhai Zhongshen replied. His face was as calm as ever and it made it seem like he was really discussing a business deal with someone else.

“Then, that’s it for today. I will contact you some other time,” Long Yuetian replied as she fled from the restaurant.

Not long after Long Yuetian left, Zhai Zhongshen also left the Hanging Gardens Restaurant.

Zhai Zhongshen’s assistant felt that his master’s actions today were very strange.

First of all, the Second Master of the Zhai family did not have to personally discuss this project with the Long Heng Group. He could have easily delegated this task to someone else.

Secondly, even if Long Yuetian was good friends with his niece-in-law, he did not need to help someone else’s business out like this.

On top of this, the location for the meeting was very strange. The Second Master of the Zhai family never liked fancy places. Hence, this romantic location did not fit his usual style.

And even if this was his niece-in-law’s restaurant, the restaurant was always fully booked. There was no need for him to book out the entire place.

And why did he suggest marriage to CEO Long?

No matter how he looked at it, this wasn’t Zhai Zhongshen’s usual style of doing things.

Naturally, Zhai Zhongshen’s assistant did not dare to voice his thoughts. He didn’t want to die at a young age.

“Uncle Zhai hugged Yuetian?” Jian Yiling looked at Zhai Yunsheng in doubt.

“Mhmm, he hugged her when she was young.”

“How do you know about this?”

Zhai Yunsheng probably wasn’t even born when Long Yuetian was still a child.

“There’s pictures in his study.”

Other than Zhai Yunsheng, no one else was allowed to enter Zhai Zhongshen’s study.

“I want to see,” Jian Yiling said. Her eyes were filled with curiosity.

“Come with me,” Zhai Yunsheng said as he led Jian Yiling to his uncle’s study.

Then, he opened the study room with a spare key.

Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng were not afraid of being caught by Zhai Zhongshen. Even if they were caught, they would not be punished by him.

Zhai Yunsheng took out the photo and showed it to Jian Yiling.

In the photo, Zhai Zhongshen seemed to be roughly eighteen years old. Unlike nowadays, his facial expression in the photo wasn’t indifferent and cold. Rather, back then, it resembled Zhai Yunsheng’s typical untamed and unruly expression.

There was a little girl held in Zhai Zhongshen’s arms. The girl in the photo seemed to be roughly seven years old and she was dressed in a long skirt and her hair was in braids.

She did not resemble Long Yuetian in any way, shape, or form.

“Is she really Long Yuetian?” Jian Yiling asked.

“Yeah, she is. I only recently found out about this.”

Because of Jian Yiling, Zhai Yunsheng got to know Long Yuetian better. By pure coincidence, some time ago, he saw a photo of Long Yuetian as a child. When he saw the picture, he immediately realized it looked exactly like the little girl in the picture he had seen inside his uncle’s study.

“But Yuetian said she was raised as a boy.”

“Although she was raised as a boy, her mother liked to dress her up when she went out to parties,” Zhai Yunsheng explained.

“Does Uncle Zhai know about this?” Jian Yiling questioned.

“I’m not sure. This depends on whether he wants to investigate or not.”

After all, if Zhai Zhongshen wanted to know about something, he would definitely be able to find out.
