Chapter 170: She Had No Right to Be Soft-Hearted
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi- Bo Studio
In fact, this plan was indeed vicious. It was a woman’s innate ability to pretend to be weak to gain the sympathy of men. If Ye Zhenzhen was willing to spend a lot of money to create the illusion that she was being humiliated, with scars all over her body, and then cry her heart out and tear her heart out, she would be able to attract 80% of the audience.
After all, Ye Zhenzhen had suffered a lot of humiliation from Lin Wanli recently. Therefore, the audience would reasonably believe that this was Lin Wanli’s final revenge on Ye Zhenzhen.
Once some things were revealed to the public, touching the bottom line of the public and mobilizing the sympathy of the audience, Lin Wanli would indeed become the target of public criticism. This seemed to be a big show indeed. If Ye Weiyin and Ye Zhenzhen could make the process and the evidence more realistic, they would have a great chance of winning.
Of course, that was without the two bugs, Xu Menglan and Qin Huaijing.
Xu Menglan sent the video to Yan Qiu, who immediately forwarded it to Lin Wanli.
After listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter, Lin Wanli basically knew what to do. No matter what the mother and daughter did tomorrow, this video could be used as evidence that the two of them were plotting against her.
And because she had evidence in advance, she could be more willful and generous, allowing the mother and daughter to deliberately catch her ‘weakness’.
“Tomorrow night should be the end of that mother and daughter.” Lin Wanli said to Yan Qiu, “If that’s the case, Xu Menglan, that chess piece, can also act as if she has switched sides on the spot. I wonder what kind of expression the mother and daughter will have when they find out that Xu Menglan has exposed so many of their plans.”
“President Lin, since tomorrow is the end for that mother and daughter, will you still join the Lin Group?” Yan Qiu asked.
“What do you think?” Lin Wanli picked up the coffee cup and took a sip before putting it back.
Yan Qiu looked at her from behind for a while. In the end, she still couldn’t see through Lin Wanli’s thoughts.
The Lin Group’s anniversary celebration and the family recognition banquet were held together, and the upper echelons of Jinchuan were invited.
Back then, the Old Madam had promised that she would help the Ye family and her daughter regain their dignity at the family recognition banquet. She did not go back on her word and invited many politicians.
Although… the spotlight was now on Lin Wanli.
In order to maximize the benefits of the anniversary celebration, the Old Madam had even specially sent an invitation to Diheng. Everyone in Jinchuan knew that Lin Wanli had helped Diheng and Yi An to get their business done. How could Huo Jiuxiao miss out on such a good thing as Lin Wanli becoming the heir of the Lin Group? They could be considered friends, right?
The Old Madam had ‘scheming’ written all over her face, but she wasn’t sure that Huo Jiuxiao would attend.
Huo Jiuxiao was a fickle person. Even if he agreed to come, he might not show up at all.
If it was in the past, Master Xiao would definitely not care, but this was an important occasion for his little sweet wife. How could he be absent?
“Go back.” Huo Jiuxiao said to Song Huaishu.
[I knew it. You definitely wouldn’t be absent if Madam was there.]
Song Huaishu was excited to see something interesting. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Huo Jiuxiao.
[Master, your purchase of a property has caused too much of a commotion. The Huo Family is asking about your movements. Fortunately, the news of you recruiting medical geniuses from all over the world is still very well hidden, but there will always be a day when it will be exposed.]
Huo Jiuxiao’s smile froze on his face.
“A killjoy.”
[I don’t want to be a killjoy either, but can’t we do something else? The Huo Family is a world-class pharmaceutical group. If they really wanted to investigate, they would soon find clues. When the time comes…]
“Do you think the Huo Family will stop just because we do something else?” Huo Jiuxiao asked.
Song Huaishu did not dare to speak.
“When that woman recovers, no matter what I do, she won’t let it go.”
Lu Xunyan’s knife did not go too deep, so it could only be exchanged for a short period of happiness.
“If that’s the case, why don’t I do what I want to do then?” Huo Jiuxiao pointed at his ears and said, “I want to recover. Is that too much?”
Song Huaishu shook his head.
If he could hear Ah Li shout his name in his lifetime, he might be able to smile when he went to hell.
[I understand, Master. I’ll support you unconditionally in the future.] Song Huaishu believed that he could risk his life to stay by Huo Jiuxiao’s side.
Although he knew that Huo Jiuxiao didn’t need it.
Huo Jiuxiao retracted his gaze from Song Huaishu and took out his phone. He took a photo of the invitation and sent it to Lin Wanli. He messaged: “Tomorrow night, will I be able to see President Lin’s good show with my own eyes?”
Little Sweet Wife: “The Old Madam’s calculations are really brilliant.” Master Xiao: “That’s exactly what I wanted.” Little Sweet Wife: “Don’t you get a headache from going to crowded places?”
Master Xiao: “I only have eyes for you.”
Little Sweet Wife: “Then I’ll reward you with a couple outfit for tomorrow night. We’ll secretly show off our love and make you happy, Master Xiao. How about that?”
Master Xiao: “I approve of that.”
After seeing Master Xiao’s message, Lin Wanli really felt that Master Xiao was cute. It was the kind that came from the bottom of her heart, and it wasn’t just for show in front of Lin Xueyi.
However, after putting down her phone, she fell into deep thought.
Yan Qiu asked her why she wouldn’t leave the Lin Group since it would be the end of the Ye family’s mother and daughter tomorrow. Lin Wanli suddenly thought of her previous life.
In fact, Lin Wanli and Zhou Tingyang had been humiliated after their marriage. She had once gone to the Old Madam to beg her, but the Old Madam did not bother about her at all. After Youran was lost, she knelt in front of the Old Madam’s door for a day and a night, but Lin Wanli did not get any help from the Old Madam.
In fact, Lin Wanli did not harbor any resentment towards the Old Madam because she had never held any hope for her. What made her hate the Old Madam was Lin Xueyi’s death.
Her own daughter had committed suicide, but the Old Madam did not feel the slightest bit of pain. She even seemed to be disdainful of Lin Xueyi’s stupidity. Lin Wanli would never forget her expression at that time, as if she was looking at an enemy.
Even now, the Old Madam was forced to let her come back because she wanted to make use of her.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanli closed her eyes and seemed to have made a decision.
Because she had no right to be soft-hearted.
Qin Huaijing was just a wall away from Lin Wanli’s study. He didn’t seem to know how intense the battle would be tomorrow night. However, he could foresee how miserable the fate of the Ye family’s mother and daughter would be.
When Lin Wanli got tired of handling work, she went to Qin Huaijing’s room to take a look. At this time, Qin Huaijing could finally put down his fears and think about some problems.
“Wanli, how did you Imow that Ye Weiyin wanted to send me away? And also the previous matter… I feel that something is wrong. At this point, can you tell me?”
“Then why didn’t you ever guess that Xu Menglan is one of my people?” Lin Wanli raised her eyebrows and asked him..
