Mother Zhou really couldn’t say anything else on such a joyous day. She could only put her worries in her heart. However, she still wanted to find an opportunity to figure out Xiao Qinke’s family situation.

Late at night, it was supposed to be the wedding night.

As a normal man, Zhou Tingyang naturally had many thoughts about their wedding night. However, Xiao Qinke had asked Zhou Tingyang to help her find her period items while she was taking a shower. She had poured a bucket of cold water on Zhou Tingyang.

After Xiao Qinke finished showering, she jumped on the bed and apologized to Zhou Tingyang, “I’m sorry. I did prepare a special program for you. I didn’t expect my period to come at such a bad time.”

Zhou Tingyang was disappointed, but he still pretended to be considerate. He said gently, “It’s okay. Of course, your health is more important.”

“Hubby, you’re the best.”

“But Ke’er, we’re already married. Shouldn’t we meet your parents as soon as possible? It’s rude to act first and report later. I can’t let them leave a bad impression of me.” Zhou Tingyang coaxed.

“It’s okay. My parents are very nice. Let’s go look at the new house tomorrow. I want to buy a big villa with a river view.” Xiao Qinke patted Zhou Tingyang on the shoulder to comfort him. Then, she continued, “It’d be best if it’s ready-made so we can move in with our bags.”

“Ke’er, I haven’t thought of buying a house recently…”

“But I want to. I’ll pay for it and put it under your name. Why don’t I start another company for you?” Xiao Qinke made it sound like she had a lot of power.

At this point, there was no need to say anything else. Zhou Tingyang felt that he had picked up a treasure. If he continued to be unreasonable, it would really be inappropriate.

The two of them lay down in each other’s arms as if they had endless sweet nothings to say. However, after Zhou Tingyang fell asleep, Xiao Qinke opened her eyes and pushed Zhou Tingyang’s body away in disgust.

The next day, Saturday.

After joining AFF, there was one benefit, and that was that Lin Wanli had a holiday. Although she still had to free up her hands to deal with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and arrange Taixi’s plans for the second half of the year, she was already very content to be able to make breakfast for Master Xiao at home and tell Youran stories.

At the dining table, Huo Jiuxiao was eating a sandwich. Meanwhile, Lin Wanli was taking care of little Youran, who was sitting on the dining chair.

Master Xiao suddenly said, “Tonight, I’ll take you somewhere.”

[I can’t ask where is it now, can I?]

Huo Jiuxiao simply replied, “A place you will like.”

Lin Wanli smiled and nodded.

At this moment, Yan Qiu walked into the dining room and said to Lin Wanli, “President Lin, there’s someone who wants to see you.”

Huo Jiuxiao glanced at Yan Qiu, clearly displeased. He commented, “Are you really not going to consider changing your assistant?”

Had no tact and couldn’t see well.

Lin Wanli was speechless.

[Master, don’t tell me that you originally wanted to have s*x in broad daylight. Besides, I don’t want anyone else except for Yan Qiu. Go to work obediently after eating. Song Huaishu has been waiting downstairs for a long time.]

After saying that in her heart, Lin Wanli handed her daughter to Aunt Qi and walked to the garden with Yan Qiu.

“Who is it? So mysterious.”

“The other party contacted me through Ming Sha and said that she wanted to meet you. The two of them used to be high school classmates. You also just got to know this person. It’s the person we investigated, Xiao Qinke,” said Yan Qiu.

Lin Wanli frowned and thought for a moment. If Xiao Qinke could contact her through Ming Sha, it meant that Xiao Qinke had been secretly observing them for a long time. This woman might look like a love-struck person, but she was hiding her true colors.

Lin Wanli also wanted to know why she had come looking for her.

“I’ll meet her at 10 AM. The venue will be the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.” Lin Wanli instructed.

“Alright.’

Things seemed to be getting more and more interesting.

At 9 a.m., after sending off Master Xiao, Lin Wanli drove to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. She was an hour earlier than the agreed time. She originally wanted to talk to the Chairman about the recent development of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but when she arrived, Xiao Qinke had already arrived and was accompanied by Secretary Tao.

Secretary Tao graciously gave up his office to Lin Wanli and Xiao Qinke for a private conversation.

“I don’t remember any history between us.” Lin Wanli said bluntly, “But obviously, you’ve been investigating me all this time.”

“I’m sorry, Miss Lin.” Xiao Qinke apologized first and she continued, “I was indeed paying attention to you, but I don’t have any ill intentions.”

“Everyone’s time is precious. Tell me your true purpose for asking to meet me.” Lin Wanli went straight to the point and didn’t like to beat around the bush.

“I have a terminal illness. My goal is to destroy the Zhou family, but now I have the risk of being exposed. I don’t want to take the risk, so I want to ask for your help.” Xiao Qinke picked the main point and said to Lin Wanli, “I came out while Zhou Tingyang was having a meeting. I can’t talk about it in detail today, but I want to ask for your help.”

“What makes you think I’ll help you?” Lin Wanli asked Xiao Qinke gloomily,

“Since you’ve been paying attention to me for so long, you should know that I’m not a good person, much less a philanthropist.”

“It’s precisely because I Imow that you’re not a ‘good person’, that I think you’d want to see the Zhou family destroyed.”

“You’re wrong. Ye Zhenzhen is the one who wants to see the Zhou family fall,” said Lin Wanli.

“Is that so? But I don’t think you’re going to let the scumbag go.” Xiao Qinke said with certainty, “I was in a hurry to make a move because I was afraid that I would be a step late. But I’m a coward. I can’t be as cautious as you because I

don’t have time.”

“Please help me!” Xiao Qinke knelt before Lin Wanli.

At this moment, Lin Wanli’s mood was very complicated.

She Imew some things about Xiao Qinke, but she didn’t know much about it. Now that she thought about it, Zhou Tingyang must have done something big to make Xiao Qinke so hateful that she was risking her life to destroy him.

“Get up first. I need time to investigate. Find a time to explain your grievances to me. I’ll judge it for myself.” Lin Wanli said to Xiao Qinke. She was indeed moved by compassion because she remembered that two years ago, she was also like this, asking Master Xiao for help.

Without Master Xiao, there would be no Lin Wanli. Similarly, she could not destroy Xiao Qinke’s hope.

“What illness?” Lin Wanli asked.

“Liver cancer.” Xiao Qinke replied.

“Why aren’t you undergoing treatment for it? Isn’t it not worth it to give up your life for such a scumbag?” Lin Wanli felt sorry for Xiao Qinke.

“My family is gone. Some time ago, my only grandmother passed away. I’m all alone. I just want the person who destroyed my family to be responsible.” Xiao Qinke said, “In order to take care of Grandma, I’ve endured it for too long. Even if I’m alive, I’ll be pierced by thousands of arrows.”

Lin Wanli stopped persuading her because she knew that this was Xiao Qinke’s choice.

Zhou Tingyang’s evilness was far more shocking than she had imagined. However, it was nothing compared to what she and Ye Zhenzhen had done..
