Chapter 49 - 49: I Won I t Betray You
“You have to put on an act for Lin Xueyi. You have to think carefully. Even if Old Madam calls the pair of Lin Family’s mother and daughter trash all day, they can still enjoy glory and wealth without doing anything. From that, it can be seen that Old Madam still cares about them. But for you, the Old Madam may not feel the same.”
“As long as that old lady doesn’t die, I’ll have to face that trash Lin Xueyi. When will our plan succeed?” Father Lin asked viciously.
“I’ve already gathered a few trusted aides from the Board of Directors to make things difficult for the Old Madam. I’ve also made arrangements for a few of your subordinates. But no matter how disgusted you feel, you must coax Lin Xueyi. ”
At the thought of Mother Ye’s words, Father Lin hid his disgust and turned to face his wife, “Xueyi, I think Wanli came back this time to destroy our family. I don’t know why she turned out this way, but I always feel she returned to destroy me. But what did I do wrong?”
Mother Lin said immediately, “That won’t happen. Wanli is our daughter.”
“But as you can see, she doesn’t see me as her father. Can you promise me? No matter what happens, you have to trust me unconditionally. You must believe that I love you and this family the most. I have nothing now. I only have you, Xueyi. ”
Mother Lin was also distressed that her husband had been relieved of work by the Old Madam. She quickly hugged Father Lin, saying, “Don’t worry, I will always be on your side, Huaijing.”
Mother Lin blamed herself. She always felt it was her fault that Qin Huaijing was not valued by the Old Madam and was constantly humiliated.
Therefore, Mother Lin granted Qin Huaijing’s every request at that critical juncture.
“What if Wanli hurts me again?”
Lin Xueyi looked at Qin Huaijing, her husband, and said after a while, “Then I will disregard our mother-daughter relationship. Even if it means disowning my daughter, I will still stand firmly on your side.”
Lin Wanli did not return and expose her father because she knew that her mother had been under the psychological influence of that sc*mbag for over 20 years. Qin Huaijing was very good at using his flaws to gain Lin Xueyi’s sympathy. He emphasized almost every moment to Lin Xueyi that he had lost everything for love. He wanted Lin Xueyi to feel guilty and blame herself so she would listen to him.
Therefore, it was easier said than done for others to destroy Lin Xueyi’s over 20 years of conviction. She could only break that situation from within when Qin Huaijing exposed himself.
Fortunately, she was reborn. Fortunately, she still could change everything.
She only hoped she would not need to use the pawn, Aunt Meng, so soon.
When Huo Jiuxiao returned home, it was 11 p.m., and Lin Wanli was still awake. She was sitting on the big black bed with a document in her arms, her eyes fixed on the flickering computer screen.
None of them spoke. Huo Jiuxiao put down his phone and went to the bathroom again. When he came out, he was wrapped in a towel.
He looked toward the bed again. The documents had been neatly placed aside, and the computer had been shut down. Lin Wanli lay on her side of the bed with a smile.
Huo Jiuxiao pulled off the towel and lay down. Then, he saw Lin Wanli’s lips move, “When you have nothing to do, do you still play mobile games?”
Huo Jiuxiao lay on his side and replied, “I’m killing time, but I’m not playing well because I can’t hear.”
“I know a little about the Huo Family.”
[Because in my previous life, I searched for a lot of information about you.] Huo Jiuxiao didn’t say anything.
“I’ve heard since young that my parents were very in love because they had such a difficult time being together, transcending social bias. But ever since I understood stuff, I’ve wondered what love is. I saw with my eyes that my father said he loved my mother but took her things for himself. I heard my father say he loved my mother but wanted my Mom to help him get the power he wanted.”
“I didn’t understand feelings, nor did I understand my parents, until I gave birth to Youran. I know all the things that you’re resisting. I was afraid before too, so I swear I’ll never let Youran experience those things. Just treat it as me morally kidnapping you. Please don’t let Youran see the shadow of your parents in us too.”
“I will never ever make what you’re afraid of come true. Huo Jiuxiao, I won’t betray you.”
After she finished speaking, Huo Jiuxiao reached out and pulled her over, pressing her against his chest, “Sugar-coated words are useless against me.”
[It doesn’t matter. Because I just want you to know my attitude. I won’t repeat it because I’ll make you believe me through my actions.]
At that moment, Huo Jiuxiao suddenly realized why he liked to listen to Lin Wanli’s inner voice. It was because every word she said was unconditionally on his side.
After a night of chaos, the post on the forum was still at the top of the trending list.
Before any new gossip came out, that scolding war would continue. Because the person involved had yet to come out to speak, the plot had not been reversed, so the audience still had the enthusiasm to wait.
At 7:30 in the morning, everyone in the company was on their way to work.
However, several shareholders of the Lin Family had already called the Old Madam. Even if she were angry, she should not take it out on the company’s higher-ups. Even if Father Lin had many faults, he had conscientiously worked in the Lin Family for 20 years. It would disappoint the veterans if he were removed from his position just like that.
It was a fact that the Old Madam looked down on Father Lin, and it was also a fact that she was angry yesterday.
The ignorant ugly duckling had done such a disgraceful thing, causing the entire Lin Family to lose face.
“Chairman…”
“Do you also think my punishment is too heavy and unreasonable?” The Old Madam looked at Mother Ye and asked.
“Of course not. Chairman, you naturally have your concerns. However, Wanli’s current situation is unknown. We should wait and see in case we fall into her trap.”
The Old Madam snorted and said, “I will find out the person behind her sooner or later. I want Lin Wanli to know how overconfident she is. How dare she dream of getting everything from the Lin Family? Is she even worthy? As for the others, you can deal with them as you deem fit. Don’t make me worry.” The Old Madam finally somewhat agreed.
After that, Mother Ye called Father Lin and told him to go to work on time that day.
Qin Huaijing washed up at home, his heart full of admiration and gratitude for
Mother Ye. On the other hand, being the Old Madam’s biological daughter, Lin Xueyi couldn’t even say anything after he was removed from office. She was a complete good-for-nothing.
However, he still had to hide his disgust.
“Huaijing, it seems that Mom is not as unreasonable as you think. Don’t hold a grudge against her.”
“Of course. Why would I hold a grudge against Mom over this?” Father Lin smiled and agreed but was highly resentful in his heart. He had had enough of the Old Madam’s high and mighty attitude.
He then got into the car and headed to the Lin Family as usual.
However, just after 8 a.m., a young reporter who was slightly famous in the Social News posted on the forum.
[There’s a kind of fatherly love that wants your life!]
The post seemed gossipy. It was evident that it was full of exciting information.
In the post were photos of Father Lin meeting with the entertainment reporter in private, photos of the entertainment reporter following the car to take pictures of the car accident, and the diagnosis report of Father Lin after he went to the hospital for treatment….
