Chapter 124: I Won’t Die, Just Need To Shed A Layer Of Skin
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Looking back at Lin Wanli’s series of actions after she returned to the country, from Qin Huaijing to the Ye family’s mother and daughter, and then to the small fry Nan Xing, it seemed that there was an answer that was about to be revealed.
If these people were really related to the incident at the hotel two years ago, then it meant that Lin Wanli was betrayed by her close friends and kin. No wonder her temperament had changed so drastically.
The news of the Nan Xing social death was also seen by the Ye family’s mother and daughter. However, at this time, they were receiving Qiao Jiawei’s aristocratic etiquette training.
“Don’t stare at Lin Wanli all the time. It’s not good for you. You are now the young miss of the Lin family. In the future, you will face high-end people in the business world, fashion world, and even politics. Don’t limit yourself to Lin Wanli, a small fry. She can be your motivation, but not your goal or direction.”
“As for the other minor matters, there’s no need to pay attention to them. If you were to get involved in the news about gold diggers, what would the audience think of you? The family recognition banquet is right in front of you. If you don’t show off your stunning state and improve your aesthetic standards, you will forever be trampled on and labeled as the Ye family’s mother and daughter.”
“Since I’ve promised Old Madam Lin, then leave the rest to me. With my connections, it wouldn’t be hard to find trouble for Lin Wanli. I’ll show you what a high-level counterattack is.”
Qiao Jiawei was referring to Lin Wanli.
“Little Miss Qiao is right. We should be focused.” Ye Weiyin hinted to Ye
Zhenzhen that she should not be affected by other things.
As long as the ceremony was held, it would be equivalent to slapping Lin Wanli in the face.
The only person she had to handle carefully now was Qin Huaijing.
“Also, pack up as soon as possible and move to the Lin family’s villa. I remember that the Lin family’s mother and daughter’s things are still inside. If I were you, I would throw their things away in a high-profile manner and clean up the trash.”
Qiao Jiawei was good at controlling and manipulating people’s hearts. She could use other people’s weaknesses to achieve the effect and goal she wanted.
In her heart, she actually looked down on the Ye family’s mother and daughter. This was because a lady’s self-restraint was something that she had been influenced by since she was young. It was impossible to achieve it overnight.
However, she liked to manipulate others, especially things like this that had no meaning. If she could change the appearance and mannerisms of the Ye family’s mother and daughter, it would certainly highlight her superior and extraordinary ability.
This was the main reason why she had agreed to Old Lady Lin’s request.
In the living room, there were a large number of books and many expensive and luxurious clothes racks.
The Ye family’s mother and daughter were busy learning about the aristocracy. At this time, Xu Menglan stood at the side, pouring tea and water. She had already informed Lin Wanli that Qiao Jiawei was going to look for trouble with her.
Qiao Jiawei was referring to a high-level counterattack.
Lin Wanli, who received the news, also wanted to know how high this counterattack would be.
She was also looking forward to seeing the Ye family’s mother and daughter being completely transformed. After all, she did not want to see Ye Zhenzhen, who only knew how to throw a tantrum on the ground, in the next confrontation.
That would be a real loss of value.
11 PM, Yujing Peak.
When Huo Jiuxiao came out of the bathroom after showering, he saw that there was another person on the big black bed. Lin Wanli lay on her side on the bed and watched as Huo Youran flipped through a picture book.
[Aunt Qi has a fever. I asked Yan Qiu to accompany her to see the doctor.
Tonight, our daughter will sleep with us.]
Huo Jiuxiao crossed his arms and looked at the little squirt on the bed, frowning. He asked, ‘You let her sleep in the middle?”
[What else?] Lin Wanli raised her eyebrows.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll crush her?”
[I’ll keep an eye on you.]
“I’ll go move her bed.”
[Master Xiao, are you afraid?]
A King of Hell who could control the lives of others, the Huo Jiuxiao who often walked on the line between life and death, was actually afraid of a little squirt lying beside him.
Master Xiao pulled the blanket away and lay on it, his gaze fixated on the small ball. He didn’t look at Huo Youran carefully. Looking at it this way, the little furball’s appearance seemed to be closer to his. In the future, her features would be prominent like his.
[When she was born, she was more like you. Now, she has some of my features.]
“Which ones?” Huo Jiuxiao asked naturally.
However, Lin Wanli raised her eyebrows and asked, [Were you there when I gave birth to her?]
He asked, “It’s so late, why is this child still not asleep yet?”
Lin Wanli already knew the answer. Satisfied, she laid down with the father and daughter.
Youran had never slept in her father’s arms before, but she had a natural dependence on his embrace. After rolling around in Huo Jiuxiao’s arms a few times, she changed her sleeping position. She was like a little frog, sticking out her little butt and sleeping soundly.
The daughter sleeps in the middle, the husband and wife observe for a while, then Huo Jiuxiao reaches out to hook Lin Wanli’s neck, pulling herself close to kiss for a while. He said, “There’s no next time.”
[What do you mean by ‘no next time’?]
“It prevents me from indulging in my physical and emotional desires.”
Lin Wanli was speechless.
At this moment, the little child suddenly flipped over and kicked Huo Jiuxiao in the face. Lin Wanli immediately laughed out loud. The only person in the world who dared to treat Huo Jiuxiao like this was probably Huo Youran.
Huo Jiuxiao wanted to throw the little squirt away, but at that moment, Song Huaishu’s voice came from outside the door.
[Master, Lu Xunyan can’t take it anymore. Do you want to see him? Also, I’ve already arranged to bring over the people you wanted.]
Huo Jiuxiao frowned slightly and glanced at Lin Wanli. He pulled the blanket and got out of bed. He said, “Go to sleep. You don’t have to wait for me.” [Okay.] Lin Wanli had never asked for details before.
Huo Jiuxiao caressed Lin Wanli’s long hair and changed into a new set of clothes. He went out in the middle of the night. When he saw Song Huaishu, he immediately ordered, “Call Duan Yanxing over as well. Also, after dealing with the small fries, make the necessary arrangements. Two years ago, she drugged Ah Li. Give her the same treatment and do so appropriately.”
[Don’t worry.]
“Then, send her to Ah Li and let her deal with it.”
Although he did not show up at Yuebo that night, it did not mean that he was not angry.
Actually, the consequences of his anger were not too scary. She would not die, but she would merely shed a layer of her skin.
On the other side, Fu Hongsheng went to his friend’s house after leaving Yuebo. The only person he could see now was his friend.
When he knocked on his other friends’ doors, they did not open it for him.
Seeing that he was depressed, the other party brought him a glass of ice water and placed it in front of him. “If I had known that the person you were dating was that shameless woman, I would have stopped you no matter what.”
“Hongsheng, there’s something I think I should tell you. Before Nan Xing got together with you, she actually hooked up with many rich second-generation heirs in her group of friends, including me.” The man said truthfully, “No one expected that you would fall into her trap..”
