Moreover, Zhou Tingyang was really amazing. They had just quarreled and he turned around to look for Lin Wanli to flirt. If she really dumped Zhou Tingyang at this juncture, it would be possible for him and Lin Wanli to have a relationship. At that time, Lin Wanli would support Zhou Tingyang to take revenge. What would she do then?
No, she couldn’t let this happen. At least, not yet.
Then, she sent a message to Zhou Tingyang, “Tonight at 10 0’clock, see you at
Star Moon. Let’s talk.”
Zhou Tingyang couldn’t come to the Lin family because Qiao Jiawei was there. And she couldn’t go to the Zhou family either, because that place was disgusting. After thinking about it, a hotel was still the most convenient.
The first thing Lin Wanli did after she got home was to ask Yan Qiu to check on President Liu. She ordered, “Make sure that President Liu’s background is clear. To be able to cooperate with the Zhou Group and still have to wait around for me for a few days, he doesn’t seem to be very open and aboveboard.” “I’m sorry, President Lin. It’s my fault.” Yan Qiu apologized.
“Yan Qiu, you spend most of your time completing the tasks I give you. These small things are hard to guard against, so don’t take them to heart.” Lin Wanli comforted her softly, “Hurry up and go.”
“Also President Lin, Qiao Jiawei might have already received news that your mother is going to attend the show. She should be there personally.”
Lin Wanli frowned slightly and asked Yan Qiu, “Do I have any plans for tomorrow night?”
“There’s an important meeting with Taixi,” replied Yan Qiu.
Lin Wanli didn’t want to mess up her plan just because of Qiao Jiawei. She thought for a minute and then made arrangements. She said, “Find a hotel near the show. The will be held as usual. You will accompany my mother to the show and protect her in secret. If anything happens, contact me at any time.”
“It seems that the mother and daughter of the Ye family attach great importance to this show.”
“She’s laying a foundation for the family recognition banquet, how can she not take this seriously?” Lin Wanli scoffed, “Qiao Jiawei must be testing my reaction. This woman is very good at psychological warfare, so don’t underestimate her.”
“Should I take special precautions?”
“There’s no need for that. She prides herself on being smart and will speculate about her imaginary enemy in the most extreme direction. But the more she uses too much force, the more I have to deal with her in the simplest way.” Lin Wanli said, “Being an advisor to the mother and daughter of the Ye family is not something a smart person should do. Let her be. While those people are focused on this show, we should seize the opportunity to collect the chess pieces. ”
Furthermore, Lin Wanli also gave Ming Sha a call. She might have to trouble her to drink coffee at Star Moon for the next few days, especially these two After instructing Yan Qiu, Lin Wanli wanted to go back to her room to change her clothes, but her calf was suddenly hugged by a soft child. Lin Wanli lowered her head and saw the little girl rubbing against her leg.
Lin Wanli’s heart suddenly softened. She couldn’t care about anything else and picked up little Youran from the ground. She had been too busy recently and had no time to spend with her daughter. Thinking of this, Lin Wanli blamed herself.
In the past, no matter how she went to class to study or negotiate work, she would always be with Youran from seven to nine every day. But now…
Aunt Qi, who was at the side, could probably see Lin Wanli’s distress and quickly comforted her, “Madam, please don’t blame yourself. Master has accompanied Little Miss for a long time.”
Lin Wanli carried Youran to the bedroom and saw that a certain someone was obediently asking the family doctor to change his dressing and treat his wound.
[Don’t tell me you’re acting because you saw that I’m back?]
Huo Jiuxiao pulled up his shirt and covered the area below his collarbone. He seemed to be paying special attention in front of the child. After the doctor was done, Huo Jiuxiao buttoned up his shirt and looked at the mother and daughter. He spoke to Lin Wanli, “You’re done dating your old flame?”
[Do you want to bring up old scores with me? Who was the one who asked the beauty to come to the house to get your change of clothes?]
Lin Wanli asked back, unwilling to be outdone.
“Didn’t you pretend to be generous back then?”
Lin Wanli didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at Huo Jiuxiao’s burning gaze.
[Then what if I didn’t pretend to be generous when you keep pushing me away and hurting my heart with your words?]
This time, Huo Jiuxiao’s eyes softened a little. He got up and pulled the mother and daughter over. He said, “Didn’t the person who hurt you come back to life for you?”
Lin Wanli couldn’t stand Huo Jiuxiao’s gaze and quickly covered his eyes with her hands. Little Youran saw her mother’s actions and reached out to imitate her, but her small hands could only touch the air.
[In the past, you told me not to be grateful just because a man moved his shoes for me. At the very least, it had to be to the extent of risking his life. Now, can I believe that this man really loves me?]
After listening to Lin Wanli’s inner thoughts, Huo Jiuxiao slowly took her hand down. He looked at her with a rare serious look and said, “My little wife is too charming. I can’t help it.”
“Dad. Dad, Dad.”
Little Youran was calling for her father, but Huo Jiuxiao couldn’t hear her.
Lin Wanli’s tears suddenly gushed out.
[Huo Jiuxiao, your daughter is calling you.]
“Then listen to it for me a few more times.” Huo Jiuxiao reached out to wipe away her tears and carried little Youran over. He calmed himself down and continued, “It’s a pity that the recuperation vacation ended just like that. I haven’t had enough of my little wife yet.” [Are you going to Diheng tomorrow?]
“President Lin, I’m just annoyed, not useless.”
In reality, Lin Wanli was not completely clear about Huo Jiuxiao’s business. He had shares in Diheng and Taixi. However, she knew nothing about other aspects.
“I’ll get Song Huaishu to send all my assets over for you to take a look tomorrow. You can’t possibly not know what to inherit when I’m gone.” Huo Jiuxiao spoke frankly, but he was actually giving Lin Wanli a heads-up.
Lin Wanli understood his deep meaning and nodded without stirring up emotions. She thought, [Be more detailed. Don’t miss anything.]
“Ah Li, you have no conscience.”
He wanted her to be calm, but he was afraid that she would be calm.
Who would want to be forgotten by their beloved?
Late at night, the cicadas were still chirping in the heat.
Qiao Jiawei finished her assessment of the mother and daughter and sat on the sofa with her arms crossed. She said to the two of them, “Tomorrow night is the occasion that I fought hard to get for you. There will be a lot of big shots in the fashion world attending, and there will also be celebrities and socialites participating. You guys just follow the homework I taught you these few days. Don’t talk casually and don’t hit on people casually. Let others pay attention to your clothes and fashion sense, not to your inner qualities.”
“As for that person from the Lin family, I’ll personally meet her.”
The mother and daughter had been continuously nagged for the past two days, but they knew very well how important tomorrow night’s event was to them. This was the stepping stone to gaining recognition at the family recognition banquet.
It didn’t matter how much they improved, but they had to make people believe that they could still be saved.
Xu Menglan stood in the corner and prepared some refreshments for them. Immediately after, she sent a message to Lin Wanli, “I just heard Qin Huaijing making a threatening phone call to Ye Weiyin in the kitchen. The two of them seemed to have quarreled again..”
