In fact, the Old Madam’s misjudgment of Lin Wanli was far more than this. She had no way of knowing how tolerant and ruthless Lin Wanli was. Even if Ye Zhenzhen were to die in front of her, she would not be able to let go of what happened in her previous life.
Moreover, did the Ye family think that the Old Madam had no other choice?
Could it be that, other than being helpless, the Old Madam really wasn’t moved by Lin Wanli’s ability?
The mother and daughter of the Ye family refused to lower their heads, but the Old Madam was always ‘flexible’. As long as she could get benefits, she did not care how much pride she would have to lose. It had been like this for many years.
It was ten in the evening. The afterglow of the setting sun was like paint, dyeing the sky crimson. Feather-like clouds were tugging in the sky, shaped like a flapping goose.
It was time for the office workers to zet off work. People were cominq and going on the streets, and it was also the time when gossip spread the fastest. The joint statement of the Lin Group and the Zhou Group was also released at this time. The overall meaning of the statement was that they admitted that the two of them were indeed a couple, but they were not secretly in a relationship. The two of them fell in love with each other during the two years Lin Wanli went missing, and their relationship naturally developed. Moreover, both parties had already received the approval of their parents and were now preparing for the wedding.
In this way, it was equivalent to overturning all the information released by Lin Wanli. Since Ye Zhenzhen did not have an affair, she did not have any motive to frame Lin Wanli. Therefore, it was difficult to determine what role she played two years ago.
The outside world thought that Lin Wanli’s plan had failed. However, Lin Wanli felt that Ye Zhenzhen would suffer more if she chose to marry Zhou Tingyang instead of admitting that she was evil.
Now that it played out like this, wasn’t it just nice?
After all, it was only a matter of time before Ye Zhenzhen admitted that she had committed evil. It was just a matter of adjusting the chronology of events.
Not long after the news spread, Lin Wanli received a message from Xu Menglan.
“Ye Zhenzhen has been crying in her room for three hours. From what Ye
Weiyin said, the Old Madam not only wants Ye Zhenzhen to marry Zhou Tingyang but she also intends to have them reconcile with you publicly. She wants Ye Zhenzhen to kneel down and apologize to you.”
After Lin Wanli finished reading it, she sneered. For a moment, she felt that it was fascinating.
The Old Madam was still the same as when she dealt with the Yue Group back then. She had no principles to speak of, and benefits were always her first choice.
“That’s going to kill Ye Zhenzhen.” Lin Wanli replied lazily.
“Isn’t that so?”
After snatching things her entire life, she ended up snatching a piece of trash. Now, she had to kneel down and apologize publicly. How could Ye Zhenzhen accept such humiliation?
However, Lin Wanli was looking forward to it. After all, she could stand it if Ye Zhenzhen kneeled and bent her legs in front of her.
“However, Little Miss, the Zhou and Lin families have made a public statement to clarify what happened two years ago. So, why is Ye Zhenzhen kneeling down to you now?”
Lin Wanli thought about it carefully. So this was Old Madam Lin’s trap.
She clarified that Ye Zhenzhen had nothing to do with what happened back then, but she still wanted Ye Zhenzhen to kneel down to her. Wouldn’t that prove Lin Wanli’s viciousness? Facing an innocent person, it would seem like Lin Wanli wanted Ye Zhenzhen to kneel down and apologize just because she was angry. That would seem overboard on her part.
“No matter what reason they have, keep an eye on Qin Huaijing.”
Because no matter what kind of gift the Old Madam was going to give to break the ice, she would not let the Ye family’s mother and daughter off.
“Don’t worry, Ye Weiyin has already sent someone to take care of it.”
After putting down her phone, Lin Wanli looked at the dark study room. Last night, she was still lovey-dovey with Master Xiao, but tonight, she could not see him anymore.
She sighed and walked to the computer to turn it off. Then, she walked to Youran’s room.
In another dark corner, there was still a dock with a broken ship. Under the dim light, Huo Jiuxiao sat on the steps and drank wine, while Duan Yanxing stood in front of him.
“You already have a family. Why are you still drinking and staying out all night?”
“Duan, do you think it’s hopeless and miserable, or is it always hopeless and miserable?” Huo Jiuxiao held the bottle of wine and let out a long sigh.
Duan Yanxing crossed his arms and looked at him. He replied, “I feel that being your woman is the hardest. I have to pull you, endure your cold violence, and be tolerant. I can’t force you. I now think that Lin Wanli is a god.” Upon hearing the name ‘Lin Wanli’, Huo Jiuxiao’s eyes finally wavered.
“If you feel miserable, you can hide here and get drunk, but what about her? She would have to care about the child, right? According to your personality, you must have kept everything to yourself. But to her, it’s the same as ‘my husband was fine just now and is suddenly acting abnormally now’. Who can take it?”
“Do you really love her?”
“Did you really try your best?”
“Is the ice in your heart really unable to melt, or did you give yourself a verdict?”
“You really don’t feel sorry for her at all. You only care about yourself.”
If everything Duan Yanxing said was brought into the picture, Huo Jiuxiao felt that he might have gone crazy too.
“Life is full of regrets. It’s not worth it to neglect the people who truly love you because of this. Go and ask Lin Wanli. Even if you can only live until tomorrow, see if she will leave you decisively.”
Duan Yanxing’s words enlightened Huo Jiuxiao.
But could he be blamed?
Ten years of loneliness and in the abyss, he had never loved anyone, and he did not know how to love. He wasn’t a man who could only move Lin Wanli’s slippers, he could even give her his life.
Thinking of how cold he was today, Huo Jiuxiao put down the bottle of wine in his hand and asked Song Huaishu, who was dozing off, to drive immediately.
Duan Yanxing looked at the bottle Huo Jiuxiao put down and pursed his lips helplessly. He was now holding several positions and had to chat with them. Was this still the daily life of an S-grade bodyguard?
Because Huo Jiuxiao was drunk, Song Huaishu didn’t drive very fast. However, after Huo Jiuxiao glared at him a few times, Song Huaishu finally came to his senses and sent Huo Jiuxiao back to Yujing Peak as fast as he could.
However, the lights in the master bedroom were not on.
Huo Jiuxiao opened the door and went in, only to see Lin Wanli curled up on the sofa in the living room. She was wearing pajamas, and because of the strong air conditioning, she crossed her arms uncomfortably.
Huo Jiuxiao turned off the air conditioner and picked Lin Wanli up from the sofa.
At this moment, Lin Wanli opened her eyes in a daze and murmured, “You’re back.”
She had naturally said this out loud.
“Ah Li.”
“Ah, I’m here.” Lin Wanli braced herself and wrapped her arms around Huo Jiuxiao’s neck.
[Huo Jiuxiao isn’t happy today, is he?]
“I might never be able to hear your voice in my life.”
[But you can listen to my heart for a lifetime. My heart is more beautiful than my voice.]
Lin Wanli wrapped her arms around Huo Jiuxiao’s neck and tried her best to warm him with her body temperature. Her tears soon soaked Huo Jiuxiao’s
shirt..
