Chapter 745: Public Display of Love Dies Quickly

Zhuang Long tilted his head and stared ahead. New York City was right in front of him. The tall buildings made him yearn for them. He looked at a certain building and sighed.

“What’s wrong, Ah Long?” Marvin listened patiently. He didn’t rush him, but he was worried.

Zhuang Long said, “I miss Mother very much.”

There was silence on Marvin’s end.

Zhuang Long added, “I miss her very much. Without my mother, I wouldn’t have what I have today. Perhaps I would have grown up in that orphanage and been buried for the rest of my life. She’s really a kind person. Many things have happened recently. I can’t help but feel sad when I think of her.”

Even though Marvin did not speak on the other end of the phone, Zhuang Long knew that Marvin was listening to him. He sighed and asked, “Father, you must have been suffering when Mother left, right?”

Marvin laughed helplessly.

“Yes, I used to be unable to sleep all night. Sometimes, when I woke up in the middle of the night, I always thought that Caitlin was still lying beside me. I reached out to hug her and felt something cold. At that time, I felt that the night was especially long. I even thought that I would die slowly from grief like this. But time finally soothed that pain. I got back on my feet, met someone new, and had a new family.”

“Caitlin will always exist in my heart. I won’t be lonely anymore, because as long as I remember, she’s in my heart.”

This was the first time the father and son had talked about this topic since Caitlin passed away.

Marvin also sighed. He was a smart businessman with sharp intuition. He realized that his adopted son was very unhappy tonight. He asked Zhuang Long, “Are you sad because of Clarice and Bruce?”

Zhuang Long hummed softly.

Marvin said, “Child, go tell her you love her very much. You can’t break up her relationship with Bruce, but you can tell her how you feel about her. It’s not illegal. Child, I forgot to tell you. You’ve always been my pride.”

Zhuang Long was not used to hearing such mushy words.

He scoffed and scolded Marvin with a smile. “You’re mushy.”

Marvin smiled and fell silent.

Zhuang Long said, “I didn’t call you today because of Clarice.”

“Oh, then why did you call?”

“Do you know my past?” Afraid that Marvin would misunderstand, Zhuang Long specially added, “I mean, before I entered the orphanage, my family and my childhood. Do you know?” Actually, when he asked this, Zhuang Long did not have much hope.

Marvin was clearly surprised. “Why are you suddenly asking this?”

Zhuang Long said, “As ridiculous as it sounds, I have to tell you something. I realized that I seem to be abnormal.”

“What do you mean?”

Zhuang Long said, “My memory has always been good, but I can’t remember my childhood. I know that my mother’s surname is Xiao and she’s a very gentle woman, but I don’t remember her appearance. As for me, I have no impression of my father at all.”

“Recently, I’ve had some unusual reactions because of a domestic violence incident. I guess that perhaps I experienced domestic violence in my childhood. But I don’t remember. You must have seen my information when you adopted me.”

“Marvin, do you know my past?”

Marvin said nothing.

Zhuang Long could sense something from Marvin’s silence. He said firmly, “Actually, you know, right?”

“Child.” Marvin’s tone was actually very heavy. He said to Zhuang Long, “Why are you still going back to what happened when you were young? You’ve already grown up. You’re very powerful. Why are you still obsessed with the past?” If Zhuang Long was beside him, Marvin would definitely pat his shoulder hard and tell him that the past was not important. What was important was the present and the future.

Zhuang Long frowned when he heard Marvin’s words.

From the looks of it, Marvin must know about his past. But why didn’t he tell him directly? Zhuang Long couldn’t help but let his thoughts run wild. Could it be that his childhood was very bumpy?

Knowing that he could not get any information from Marvin, Zhuang Long could only give up.

“Alright, sorry to disturb you so late at night. Rest.”

“Are you still outside? Go home early and drive safely.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Long recalled Marvin’s reminder before he hung up the phone. He could not help but laugh and complain, “The old man who disturbed me…” After saying that, the corners of his lips curled up secretly. Marvin was right. The past was already in the past. Now that he had changed his appearance and grown stronger, he was always conflicted about what to do in the past.

Zhuang Long was about to drive home when his phone suddenly reminded him of a new update.

His Instagram only paid attention to two people, Xiao Li and Bruce.

No matter who sent the message in the middle of the night, it was not a good thing for him. However, Zhuang Long could not help but click on Instagram and saw that Bruce had posted something. He wrote a caption in English, which was translated as—

It’s the most romantic thing to grow old with you in this life. Picture attached.jpg.

The accompanying photo was of two hands holding each other. The man’s hand was very big and he gently held the girl’s slender hand. Both of their fingers wore a ring. The female ring was embedded with diamonds and the design was exquisite. The male ring was also embedded with diamonds and looked slightly bigger.

Zhuang Long was disgusted by these words and this picture.

He could not help but leave a message below: Show off your love and die quickly.

Zhuang Long’s comment was swallowed into the mighty message page. After a while, Zhuang Long realized that someone had liked his comment. He immediately felt that those who liked him were people with good taste. Of course, there were also Bruce and Xiao Li’s loyal fans who saw this message and scolded Zhuang Long for being stupid.

Zhuang Long’s alias was ‘BS B’. It meant “Bullshit Bruce”.

He was often active under Bruce’s Instagram and often scolded him. Bruce’s fans felt disgusted when they saw him. Zhuang Long quietly watched Bruce’s die-hard fans fight under his message. He watched for more than a minute and immediately felt that it was meaningless.

“Pft!”

He was about to leave Instagram when his phone beeped with a new notification. He opened it and saw that Xiao Li had posted something.

Xiao Li said—

I must be happy for the rest of my life. Picture attached.jpg.

Xiao Li’s photo was not Bruce’s photo of holding hands, but the back view of a wedding dress.

Zhuang Long held his phone, his hand trembling.

In the middle of the night, this adulterous couple kept agitating him. Is this war?!

Zhuang Long suddenly threw away his phone and drove straight to Xiao Li’s house.

When he arrived at Xiao Li’s house, it was already past ten o’clock. The lights downstairs of Xiao Li’s house were all switched off, but the master’s study upstairs was still lit. Zhuang Long got out of the car and looked up. Without hesitation, he pressed the doorbell.
