Chapter 465 You Can't Doubt My Character

Upon seeing the message, Tang Bai's eyes narrowed, and the hand holding the phone unconsciously tightened its grip.

The first time he opened the input box, he typed quickly, but halfway through, he felt that this method was too slow, so he brought up the number and pressed the dial button.

Before my fingers could even touch it, there was a knock on the car window.

Tang Bai glanced to the side and saw Mo Mo standing outside the passenger window.

He unlocked the door, and Mo Mo and Jiang Ruan sat down. Looking at Jiang Ruan, who was calm and tired after a long day, Tang Bai didn't know how to start a conversation for the first time.

"Why aren't you driving?" Mo Mo asked from the passenger seat.

Tang Bai placed his hands on the steering wheel, struggling internally. After a while, he turned to face Jiang Ruan: "Miss, there's something..."

"I already know." Jiang Ruan noticed his predicament.

Tang Bai paused.

Jiang Ruan was no different from before: "Let's go home for dinner."

Tang Bai opened his mouth, remained silent for a moment, and then started the car.

Many things flashed through his mind on the way.

He is not a sentimental person. If he were facing these things alone, he could quickly adjust and come up with a solution. But things are different now.

They went to Jiang Ruan's house.

Go bother her.

As a bodyguard, he should be solving her problems, but instead, he's causing her trouble.

"Are you two in a bad mood today?" Jiang Ruan unusually took the initiative to lighten the mood. "Mo Mo in the morning, Tang Bai in the afternoon?"

Mo Mo: "I didn't sleep well."

Jiang Ruan: "Where's Tang Bai?"

Tang Bai, unusually, didn't respond.

He knew that Jiang Ruan was deliberately trying to relax him and make him happy, but the more she did that, the more complicated his feelings became.

"The boss is asking you a question," Mo Mo said directly. "Was the food you had for lunch too salty? Are you mute?"

Tang Bai: "..."

Mo Mo seriously suggested, "Boss, I suggest you add a rule: if either of us ignores you, we'll deduct 500 from our wages each time. If Tang Bai maliciously doesn't reply, we'll deduct 1,000."

"Are you the boss and am I the boss?" Jiang Ruan said unhurriedly.

Mo Mo: "You."

Jiang Ruan: "Just knowing is enough."

Mo Mo: "I'm just making a suggestion."

Jiang Ruan: "Don't think I don't know what you're up to."

Mo Mo: "You can doubt Tang Bai's character, but you can't doubt my sincerity."

"If word got out about your rules, everyone would call me a wicked capitalist," Jiang Ruan joked, trying to lighten the mood in the car. "It would damage my reputation."

Mo Mo thought about it for a moment and nodded seriously: "That seems to be true."

Listen to these.

Tang Bai's lips curved into a smile.

Mo Mo, with her sharp eyes, noticed this and immediately started complaining: "Boss, Tang Bai not only ignored what you said, but he was also secretly laughing."

"I was laughing at you, it's rare that you have self-awareness." The weight on Tang Bai's chest disappeared completely during their conversation, and his heavy body became light and airy with the laughter just now.

Mo Mo said with a serious face, "I advise you to speak properly."

Tang Bai's eyes softened as he glanced at Jiang Ruan in the rearview mirror: "Thanks, Miss."

Jiang Ruan glanced at Mo Mo, whose expression had changed, and said, "You can say that to the person next to you. His eyes are practically popping out of their sockets."

"The wording is exaggerated." Mo Mo's tone remained unchanged from beginning to end, completely artificial. "I just think Tang Bai is heartless and didn't even think of thanking me."

Tang Bai smiled.

The next second.

Just as Mo Mo was about to speak again, he said, "Thanks, brother."

"It's all talk and no action." Mo Mo was still the same Mo Mo, still putting money first. "Just give me half of your salary this month."

Tang Bai: "Okay."

Mo Mo's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Tang Bai nodded indifferently: "Mm."

Mo Mo immediately turned to Jiang Ruan and said, "Boss, he said this himself. When you pay salaries, please remember to put half of his salary into my card."

“You can browse around on your own,” Jiang Ruan replied calmly. “Don’t bother me.”

Mo Mo immediately took out a notebook and pen, quickly wrote a few lines, signed his name at the end, and handed it to Tang Bai: "Let's put this in writing as a guarantee, so you won't regret it when you get home."

Tang Bai stopped at the traffic light intersection.

Seeing that there were still more than a hundred seconds before the green light, he picked up the passage written by Mo Mo and looked at it.

Very rigorous.

but……

He tore that page out, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it in the car's trash can, teasing Mo Mo as usual: "You want half my salary with just a few words? Dream on."

Mo Mo looked angry.

If Tang Bai hadn't been driving, he definitely would have punched him in the face.

"I think you've got your eyes on money." Tang Bai retorted without holding back, and then added to Jiang Ruan, "Miss, you shouldn't let him be the butler or anything like that. Who knows, he might be turned by the enemy one day."

"You can say I like money, but you can't doubt my character," Mo Mo said seriously.

Tang Bai ignored him.

The green light comes on.

Tang Bai started the car and drove forward.

At this moment, he told Jiang Ruan about his situation: "Miss, my biological father went to your house. I expect there will be a dispute when he sees me."

"Do you need any help?" Jiang Ruan asked.

Tang Bai: "Aren't you going to ask what the argument was about?"

Jiang Ruan looked out the car window: "There's a high chance they'll have a problem with you being my bodyguard now."

A hint of surprise flashed across Tang Bai's eyes.

Although not all of them, I guess that's the general idea.

"Is it because he's too incompetent?" Mo Mo asked sincerely, completely forgetting the description of him as ruthless and taciturn that she had used when she first introduced him to Jiang Ruan. "Are you worried that he won't be able to protect you and will cause trouble for your family?"

Tang Bai: "..."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Sometimes they envied Mo Mo's way of thinking.

Stubborn and inflexible.

There were no complicated thoughts or ideas.

"How did you know?" Tang Bai asked Jiang Ruan.

Mo Mo thought the question was directed at him: "I could tell at a glance."

Jiang Ruan replied, "You seem like a child born into a wealthy family."

Tang Bai knows too much.

Some things weren't learned from his captain, but rather from being exposed to them since childhood.

Mo Mo: "?"

A big question mark appeared above Mo Mo's head.

“My family situation is a bit complicated,” Tang Bai said as he drove, his tone light and natural. “Before that phone call, I never thought I would contact him again.”

"Is it convenient to talk about it?" Jiang Ruan asked.

"It's basically a story about someone being kicked out of the family by their father and a third party," Tang Bai said, each word distinct, his eyes devoid of emotion. "The only difference is that the way he kicked me out was by sending me to the team."

I don't expect him to achieve anything great.

I just felt that once he was sent inside, I wouldn't be able to hang around in front of him all the time, and I wouldn't be able to ruin his plans.

"Now they want you to go back?" Jiang Ruan knew things would get complicated, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

Tang Bai: "It should be."
