Chapter 15: Injured People Have to Sleep First

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Even if the truth hurts, it’s better than suspecting all the time. That’s tiring.”

Huo Jiuxiao did not say anything.

Because he was listening attentively, listening to Lin Wanli’s inner thoughts.

[I can. I can really make you feel more relaxed. Please don’t insist on pretending.]

For Lin Wanli, two years in her previous life and two years in this life, he had unknowingly gained a special meaning to her. Therefore, there was no need for him to say such pretentious words. He was just curious. She was clearly hurt so badly, so why did she still have the courage to love?

Then, Huo Jiuxiao lowered his head and whispered into Lin Wanli’s ear, “If I’ve already made it clear and you still want to move forward, don’t blame me for not warning you. In our circle, we’ve always been indulgent… Sex.”

Huo Jiuxiao gritted his teeth and Lin Wanli suddenly tensed up.

“But what can we do? The injured have to sleep first. Otherwise, how can we satisfy you?”

Lin Wanli knew that she had been tricked. Her face turned red, and in the next second, she crawled out from under Huo Jiuxiao’s arm.

Huo Jiuxiao watched her escape from the room for the second time and finally chuckled.

It had been ten years. In Huo Jiuxiao’s world, the voice of the human heart was like a piano being played randomly. It was extremely destructive to him, and it was so dirty that it was disgusting.

However, with Lin Wanli, there were no lies. She was clean, pure, and comfortable.

He was the one who was greedy for this peace, but he did not want to get too immersed in the character. He thought she would cooperate, but he did not expect her to be so eloquent.

Or perhaps, she thought that the indulgence he mentioned was just a joke?

Moreover, he ran so quickly that he did not seem to have told her that he would be attending Old Madam Lin’s banquet tomorrow. His uncle was on a business trip to Europe, and his Grandma and Old Madam Lin were once best friends, so he went on his behalf.

It just so happened that Ye Zhenzhen and Trash Zhou had not paid the price for “trespassing ” into his room two years ago. This was a good opportunity to settle the bill. Master Xiao had always been vengeful and traumatized others for a lifetime. Did they think that they could escape after two years?

…

After leaving Huo Jiuxiao’s room, Lin Wanli hugged her daughter and tried her best to control her emotions.

Youyou held the mushroom teether in her hand and knocked on Lin Wanli’s arm while babbling.

“President Lin, Secretary Tao has already confirmed that he will attend Old Madam’s birthday banquet with you tomorrow and introduce your new identity.” Yan Qiu, who had put down her phone behind Lin Wanli, told her.

“The China of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is suspicious of me because I’m from the Lin Family. I can take this opportunity to draw a clear line with the Lin Family. However, I have to pick up teacher tomorrow.”

Lin Wanli’s teacher was Frank. Frank was a retired France ambassador and Dean’s uncle. He had many old friends in Jinchuan.

However, Lin Wanli did not intend to use these connections. She only hoped that she would not become enemies with the powerful people in Jinchuan.

On the other hand, the Lin Family was a prestigious family, and the officials valued them. Therefore, after the forum event ended, Mother Ye specially invited some guests to get the Old Madam’s concerns. Frank and Dean were both invited. However, they would go separately. After all, the Old Madam still valued his identity of Dean as the second son of the AFF Group, so she would be more serious.

That was because they did not know the true relationship between Frank and Dean.

This was how the mother and daughter of the Ye family handled things.

However, why did it matter?

In the past two years, Lin Wanli had worked hard to create many identities and made many arrangements. She was a popular news blogger at home and abroad. She had millions of fans. She was a business negotiation expert and had used the formula Huo Jiuxiao had given her to acquire a well-known foreign cosmetics brand and renamed it Taixi Biology and established a cosmetics raw material company. This was also why Yan Qiu and Song Huaishu called her President Lin.

And the Lin Family started out with cosmetics.

If she wanted to do it, she had to be better than the Lin Family!

Now that she had returned to the country, she was the specially hired Executive Vice-Chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

The Lin family was also a member of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

…

The next morning, the extremely diligent media began to follow up on the return of the Lin Family’s trash’s funeral. As soon as they returned, they gave the Lin Family a big gift.

“Lin Wanli offended an important guest of the Jinchuan Chinese Business Forum and humiliated the Lin Family!”
