After that, Lin Wanli sent the video to Yan Qiu and asked her to find someone to tweak the video’s clarity and the screenshot’s angle. She had to ensure that when it was exposed, others could see it clearly.
Thinking about how the two heartless b*tches had been so proud of themselves in her previous life, Lin Wanli decided to fulfill their relationship in this life as well.
According to Father Zhou’s obsession with wealthy families, he should still look down on Ye Zhenzhen. However, if the Zhou family were to suffer a heavy blow like two years ago, he would have to take Ye Zhenzhen as his daughter-in-law.
As for Ye Zhenzhen, she had betrayed her best friend and snatched her best friend’s man away. That alone was enough to stop her from marrying into a wealthy family. In the end, Zhou Tingyang was the only one left who could save her reputation.
After putting down her phone, Lin Wanli emptied her mind.
Sometimes, she felt that she was full of tricks.
Before Huo Jiuxiao, she had always wanted to turn herself into a dangerous person. But now that she had really become a dangerous person, she began to feel anxious and uneasy again
Even though he might have heard her thoughts long ago, could he accept so many of her dark thoughts? At this moment, Lin Wanli’s phone screen suddenly lit up. “I respect human nature.”
It was from her Master Xiao. He had heard her thoughts.
People who had fought in the dark could understand the meaning of the word human nature the most, so they would not demand the perfection of human nature.
In fact, the two of them knew each other’s bottom line. Even though the outside world had spread rumors that Huo Jiuxiao was merciless, Lin Wanli felt that he had never done anything to harm others. In Huo Jiuxiao’s eyes, even though Lin Wanli was full of tricks and ploys, she would never implicate innocent people and would also pave the way for the injured.
Also, Lin Wanli told him that she would never change him.
The meaning of this sentence was that she accepted everything about him and understood and tolerated him.
She had indeed been doing this all along, always keeping her words and actions in the same place.
This was the most fundamental foundation for their love.
Lin Wanli felt relieved and regained her spirits. However, she was suddenly very curious about how far her Master Xiao could hear. So she closed her laptop and ran downstairs in her slippers.
[Master Xiao?]
“What tricks are you playing now?” Lin Wanli’s phone screen lit up.
Lin Wanli smiled and continued to walk out. She walked along the main door to the beach.
[Can you still hear me?]
“What do you think?”
Lin Wanli widened her eyes in surprise and continued to run towards the beach. The distance was at least 20 to 30 meters.
[No way? It’s okay to go so far?]
“Lin Wanli, how old are you?”
Lin Wanli looked at her phone and felt incredulous. He could actually hear her thoughts from such a distance…
But just as Lin Wanli’s jaw was about to drop, Huo Jiuxiao walked up to her and took the phone from her hand. He said, “I can hear you because I’m behind you.”
[Then haven’t you tried it yourself? Where is the limit of this superpower?] Lin Wanli naturally went to hug Huo Jiuxiao’s waist and asked.
“It’s too noisy.” Huo Jiuxiao shook his head and replied, “It’s annoying.” Hearing this, Lin Wanli tiptoed slightly and covered Huo Jiuxiao’s ears with her hands.
[What about now?]
Huo Jiuxiao looked down at Lin Wanli, his eyes burning with tenderness. He couldn’t help but kiss her. He replied huskily, “Right now, I only want to eat you.”
In the dark bedroom, on the black bed, under the soft bedding, two souls were entangled and colliding.
The next day, Lin Wanli woke up to the sound of the waves. When she got up, Huo Jiuxiao was no longer beside her. Thinking of his injuries, Lin Wanli put on her clothes and sent Huo Jiuxiao a message, “I’ll get the doctor to change your dressing.”
Huo Jiuxiao sent a reply, “My asset manager has arrived.”
Lin Wanli quickly washed up and went to the study. When she opened the door, she saw Huo Jiuxiao’s entire asset management team. That’s right. It was an entire team of five people. Before she woke up, the team had already sorted out the stack of documents in the middle of the room and was waiting for her to look through them.
“Madam, these are all the properties that Master Xiao instructed you to look over.” The man in glasses who was in the lead said to Lin Wanli, “We can only see part of it today. There are also some overseas assets.”
Lin Wanli was dumbfounded. She casually flipped through the list and found that it was related to the financial industry, mining industry, real estate, and medicine. Everyone thought that Huo Jiuxiao was the core of Diheng and had been fighting for Diheng all these years. However, every time he earned money, he used it for investment. It was just that few people knew about it.
“I might not be able to finish reading all this even if I read it all morning.” Lin Wanli said, “Leave the photocopies here. I’ll flip through them when I have time.”
“It’s okay. We can help you sort it out.”
Lin Wanli was speechless.
She felt that her current net worth was not bad and she could be considered a successful person. However, at this moment, she realized that Huo Jiuxiao had only given her a minor recipe for success a few years back when he gave her the formula.
“These assets were all exchanged by Master Xiao with his life. In addition to some assets of Master Xiao’s mother’s family, they are all gathered here now.”
Lin Wanli didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Perhaps in the eyes of the world, Huo Jiuxiao was risking his life for money, but she knew very well that he was seeking freedom and getting some money along the way. “Finally, Master Xiao asked me to give this supplementary card to you.” Lin Wanli looked at the card but didn’t take it.
“This is specially prepared by Master Xiao for his spouse, ” emphasized the man.
That was when Lin Wanli finally willingly took it, although she knew very well that Huo Jiuxiao had risked his life to get it, and she was not willing to spend it.
But for some reason, she just kept getting richer and richer.
At the same time, the mother and daughter of the Ye family were already at home trying on the gowns for tonight’s show. It was obvious that Qiao Jiawei knew how to make the best use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and she also knew how to create an exquisite style of a wealthy family.
Ye Zhenzhen was wearing a simple one-shoulder white gauze dress with a small area of bamboo leaf embroidery on the chest and a gray gauze wrapped around her waist. She looked very fashionable but also had a hint of oriental charm. There was plenty of white space, giving people unlimited imagination.
As for Ye Weiyin, her grayish-white dress accentuated her tall stature. The trumpet sleeve on the right was the finishing touch, giving the originally mediocre dress a fashionable and three-dimensional feel.
“Tonight, the two of you must follow my arrangements. Talk less and show more. When it’s time to leave, you must leave. You must pull away mysteriously and not linger. Do you understand?” Qiao Jiawei was very satisfied with the outfit she had prepared for the mother and daughter of the Ye family, but she was still not satisfied with their current state.
She was especially afraid that they would be greedy after tasting the sweetness of being in the wealthy circle, so she had to emphasize the ugly outcome first.
“If you miss the opportunity tonight, you will definitely not have an easy time at the family recognition banquet..”
