Hearing this, Lin Wanli subconsciously glanced at Huo Jiuxiao.

[He doesn’t know that you can read minds?]

Huo Jiuxiao shook his head gently. After all, who in this world would want to be seen through by others other than a fool? Not everyone was like Lin Wanli, unafraid of being seen.

However, this was just right. After returning to the Huo family, there would be a good show to watch.

In the Qiushan Hot Spring Zen Temple, after the Ye family’s mother and daughter bade Xu Qingru farewell, they came out of the hall. Standing in front of the bluestone steps, Ye Zhenzhen could not help but turn around and look at the entire resort. The entire building complex was picturesque like a landscape painting. Thus, she was engrossed in it, as if she was looking up at Lin Wanli.

Because she knew that she would never reach Lin Wanli’s height in this lifetime, and the previous comparisons were just jokes.

Lin Wanli had always let her go.

Ye Weiyin knew that she was in a complicated mood and wanted to comfort her. However, at this time, she received a call from Linda. The Old Madam summoned her and her daughter to go over immediately. It was probably because of the matter of giving up her position.

“We’ll act according to the situation later.” Ye Weiyin instructed Ye Zhenzhen.

“Okay.” Lin Wanli had already handed the knife to them.

The two of them hurried to the Old Madam’s house. Before yesterday, there was a restriction on the two of them and they could not enter and exit as they pleased. Today, it was a different scene. The butler quickly brought the two of them to the Old Madam’s study.

In the study, the Old Madam stood outside the window. When she saw the mother and daughter, she pointed at the chair with her chin and said, “Sit.” The mother and daughter quickly sat down.

“Grandma, why did you call us over so urgently? Are you feeling unwell again?” Ye Zhenzhen leaned against the armrest of the chair and asked anxiously.

“Your friend didn’t tell you anything?” The old lady tried to get some information from Ye Zhenzhen. She said in a serious tone, “Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. Zhenzhen, you just want to be the chairman of the Lin Group, don’t you? I’m not dead yet!”

Ye Zhenzhen was stunned for a few seconds. She shook her head and knelt on the ground. She replied, “Grandma, I don’t have such thoughts. I’ve been wronged. Why would you think that?”

“Wronged? Didn’t you ally with Xu Qingru from Taixi to put pressure on me to achieve your goal? Let me tell you, I’d rather let your mother take this position than let you do it. Put away your little cunning thoughts.”

“If I had such thoughts, I would have been killed by a car when I went out,” Ye Zhenzhen defended herself with tears in her eyes.

The old lady kept sizing her up. After a long time, she finally believed her oath from her firm gaze. She then said, “I’ll believe you for now. Get up.”

Ye Zhenzhen wiped her tears and stood up.

At this moment, she really hated Old Madam Lin. Even if the old woman knew that she was in the wrong and that she was the one who contacted Xu Qingru privately and was humiliated, she was good at standing on the moral high ground and directly suppressing others, as if everything was their fault that led to her situation.

“Go out and eat something first. Weiyin, stay behind.”

This time, Ye Zhenzhen did not even bother to brush her off. She got up from her chair and left the Old Madam’s study room.

For someone like Old Madam Lin, even if you risked your life for her and gave up everything for her, she would never show any of her sincerity. That old woman was like a flower in the fog, a moon in the water, and a phantom.

“Miss Ye, don’t be sad. It’s already very impressive that she could lie to you for so many years. Now that she has taken off her disguise, you’ll gradually realize that this is the norm.” The butler comforted her.

“What kind of norm?”

“She throws tantrums wantonly, tramples on people casually, slanders people when she can’t find anything, and goes crazy when she can’t talk about cooperation.” The butler smiled and said, “Miss Ye, we’ve arrived at the dining room. ”

Ye Zhenzhen knew that they had arrived. After all, she was very familiar with this place.

However, she was surprised that the butler had such an opinion of the Old Madam.

It seemed like karma was a cycle. The old woman had never given her heart to anyone, so she could never expect to get their sincere heart. Now, they had to endure for a moment. There would be a moment when they would defy the heavens and change their fate. And that day was already close at hand.

In the study, Ye Weiyin was already kneeling in front of the Old Madam.

“Weiyin, I know that you’ve always loved your mother. Mother has a problem that needs you to solve for me. I wonder if you’re willing?”

“Mom, just say it,” said Ye Weiyin.

Actually, she didn’t want to waste her breath on the old woman, especially when she was kneeling.

“I want you to temporarily take over the position of the chairman of the Lin Group, then keep an eye on Zhenzhen and get the cooperation with Taixi. After it’s done, you can take the initiative to resign and welcome me back.” The Old

Madam said shamelessly, “My lifelong wish is to carry forward the Lin Group. Please fulfill my dream. I don’t want to die with regrets on the day I leave this world. You know that Zhenzhen’s temperament is still uncertain. I will give her the position of president, but I need you to keep an eye on her and support her. Weiyin, I only have you. You’re the only one I can rely on.”

Look at how hypocritical this old woman’s words are.

Ye Weiyin clenched her fists.

However, for the sake of the big plan that was about to be completed, she held back. Her expression was full of fear as she replied, “Mom, you know my ability. I can’t take on a big responsibility. I’m afraid of dragging down the Lin Group. Why don’t you find someone else?”

Old Madam Lin seized the opportunity to grab Ye Weiyin’s wrist and looked at her seriously, almost threatening her. She said, “I have no one else to rely on. Weiyin, you are the only one who can save me because I regard you as the future hope of my Lin Group. After I turn a hundred years old, won’t the Lin Group eventually belong to you and your daughter?”

“Mom, I’m really afraid…”

“Don’t be afraid. Just do as I say. I’ll get the lavvyer to get you to sign a contract.

Then, I’ll hold a board meeting to discuss your succession. I believe that with Taixi’s cooperation, no one will stop you.”

“Then… Then I’ll try.” Ye Weiyin carefully agreed.

Old Madam Lin hated Ye Weiyin’s current expression. She was even more timid than before. However, compared to Ye Zhenzhen, Ye Weiyin was much easier to control. Moreover, Ye Weiyin’s desire for kinship was the best weakness to exploit.

In fact, the two of them were disgusted with each other.

The two of them stayed in the study room for another hour. When they came out, Ye Zhenzhen had already calmed down.

“Zhenzhen, don’t blame Grandma for being harsh on you.” Old Madam Lin saw that her expression was normal.

“I don’t blame you.” Ye Zhenzhen forced a smile and accompanied the Old Madam for some food before leaving the old house with Ye Weiyin.

“Are you alright?” Ye Weiyin saw that Ye Zhenzhen did not look too good, so she grabbed her hand and asked.

Ye Zhenzhen shook her head and said, “So she used this kind of face and attitude to deal with my aunt and Lin Wanli all these years. She’s worse than a beast.’

“Soon.” Ye Weiyin patted the back of her hand to encourage her and said, “It’s right in front of us..”
