Chapter 70 70【Revealing the truth】


    "Leonard, what can you do?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.


    "You, you, you, are you still my good friends, and you have kept such a thing from me for so long?" He pointed at Xiang Nan, Howard, and Leslie angrily.


    A few months ago, he noticed that Xiang Nan and Howard were hiding something from him. At that time, he asked curiously, but Xiang Nan and Howard did not tell him the truth.


    ??But he didn’t expect that the truth would be revealed now. Xiang Nan and Howard had been secretly developing a quantum navigation system without telling him. It was really too much.


    ?It is understandable not to tell Sheldon, after all, Xiang Nan and Sheldon have turned against each other. But he has always been good friends with them, and Xiang Nan also promised that their relationship will remain unchanged.


    But now, it is obvious that I have been squeezed out. How could he, who valued friendship, endure this?


    “Furthermore, you are looking for Leslie to cooperate but you are not looking for me. Am I worse than her?” Leonard continued angrily.


    The level between him and Leslie is not that big. He can pretty much do anything Leslie can do. And he has a closer relationship with Xiang Nan and Howard. Logically speaking, Xiang Nan and Howard should also cooperate with him.


    "Look, I told you before that I would ask Leonard to join the team." Facing Leonard''s accusation, Howard felt very guilty and couldn''t help but look at Xiang Nandao.


    As soon as Leonard heard this, he knew that Xiang Nan did not allow it, and immediately looked at him angrily.


    "Leonard, don''t be angry yet." Xiang Nan stood up and came to Leonard, pulled him into the office, and then closed the door.


    “The reason why we kept it secret from you and didn’t invite you to join the team is not because your professional level is not enough, nor is it because we don’t regard you as a friend, but because you have Sheldon by your side.” He explained immediately.


    “What do you mean?!” Leonard asked in confusion.


    ?He knew that Xiang Nan had a falling out with Sheldon, but what did that have to do with him?


    "Leonard, if we tell you this, Sheldon will soon know about this project." Xiang Nan explained, "And with his arrogant and self-centered character, once he knows about this project, he will definitely know about it." will come in and take away the project, so we can’t take the chance.”


    Howard and Leslie both nodded in agreement.


    ?With Sheldon’s character, he can indeed do these things.


    …


    "Sheldon, that''s not what you said." Leonard defended him.


    "Leonard, Sheldon likes to take credit, and this is not the first time he has been in the limelight. You have been with him for so long, you should know him." Xiang Nan smiled, "When did he not put himself first? When he cooperates with others, when will he be willing to be inferior to others? "


    “Yes, when you collaborated with him on the supersolid paper, he insisted on putting his name first.” Howard spoke up to prove it.


    ?Hearing what they said, Leonard''s momentum suddenly became much weaker.


    "Then why are you so sure? Just tell me and Sheldon will definitely know." He still said stubbornly.


    "Leonard, let''s face it. No one here knows that you are Sheldon''s slave." Xiang Nan shook his head and said, "There is something you won''t tell him."


    “What?” Hearing what he said, Leonard was immediately ashamed and angry.


    He does not consider himself Sheldon''s slave. Xiang Nan actually said that, which really hurt his self-esteem.


    ?But when he saw Howard and Leslie shaking their heads, he was stunned on the spot.


    “What, Howard, Leslie, do you all think so too?” He said in disbelief. "Leonard, you are indeed too good to Sheldon, so good that you have no principles." Howard shook his head and said, "You have to be his driver, his servant, his assistant, even You have to help him remember when he has a bowel movement. This is not what friends should do."


    "Yes, you listened to Sheldon so much that you almost didn''t resist him." Leslie also nodded, "You are his vassal, tied to him, and how dare we use you. "


    But they all said this about themselves, and Leonard couldn''t accept it for a while.


    "I''m not Sheldon''s slave, I''m just a good person." He was stunned for a moment, then forcefully defended, "Besides, have you forgotten that he once saved my life and saved my life?" career. Then I should be nice to him, right?"


    ?Three years ago, when Leonard, Howard, and Rajesh first met, Leonard was experimenting with rocket fuel in his apartment. As a result, the fuel began to explode due to a calculation error. Thanks to Sheldon''s timely action and throwing the fuel barrel into the elevator, he was saved from being killed on the spot.


    ?In addition, Leonard was once confused by spy Joyce King and almost told her the composition of rocket fuel. Fortunately, Sheldon blasted her away in time, saving him from going to military court.


    "Leonard, stop deceiving yourself, okay?" Xiang Nan shook his head and said regretfully, "Yes, Sheldon saved your life and your career.


    ??But without your care in the past few years, Sheldon would have died of starvation and illness many times, let alone any scientific research results. "


    “Yeah.” Howard nodded in agreement.


    Sheldon’s ability to take care of himself is very poor. Thanks to Leonard’s care over the years, Sheldon has been able to live healthily.


    "You really don''t owe him in this regard." Xiang Nan looked at Leonard and said, "And the reason why you follow him so much is because Sheldon''s behavior is the same as your mother''s."


    …


    “What?!” Leonard was so shocked that his asthma recurred.


    He quickly took out the spray and sprayed it twice before he regained consciousness.


    "Please, your mother Beverly Hofstadter wrote a book and published everything that happened to you from childhood to adulthood. How long do you think you can hide it?!" Xiang Nan curled his lips.


    "Oh, God!" Leonard couldn''t help but whine, holding his head, "How did you know?"


    "Dr. Beverly Hofstadter is your mother?" Howard said in surprise, "Wow, you never mentioned this."


    Xiang Nan sighed.


    Leonard grew up in a loveless family.


    Since he was a child, his mother has treated him as a guinea pig, constantly conducting experiments on him to verify her latest theories in neurology and psychology.


    His father didn''t care about him either. Their only father-son activity is studying the two-thousand-year-old corpse of an Etruscan boy.


    His brothers and sisters are also better than him, which makes him have no status in the family. No one cared about him, no one loved him, which made him feel quite lonely.


    In order to give himself a little more warmth, at the age of ten, he made a homemade "hug machine" and hugged himself every day. Sadly, his father often borrowed them.


    ?Because of such a cold growing environment, Leonard was particularly lacking in love and also made him develop a pleaser personality. Focus on pleasing others while ignoring your own feelings.


    This is the reason why Leonard has been dominated and manipulated by Sheldon for so many years and still doesn''t resist.
