After Lin Wanli received the message, she called Xiao Qinke back. She said,
“Tell me where you are. I’ll send you on your last journey. I won’t tell anyone.”
“Even if you don’t think for yourself, your body and skin were given to you by your parents. Can you bear to have your body cremated without even a place to sleep? I’ll arrange a good place for you.”
Finally, Xiao Qinke revealed her location.
She didn’t want to trouble anyone, but she was afraid that she would end up as a nobody after she left. She was afraid that she would be completely forgotten, so she let herself be willful for the last time.
Three hours later, Lin Wanli and Huo Jiuxiao found Xiao Qinke, who had her eyes closed, at Qinghe Cemetery. She was leaning against her grandmother’s tombstone, as quiet as a toy, without any signs of life.
Lin Wanli had experienced the feeling of dying and waiting for death in her previous life. Therefore, she could empathize with what Xiao Qinke was thinking before she died. However, her heart was filled with resentment and unwillingness. This was probably the only difference between her and Xiao unme.
At this moment, Lin Wanli squatted in front of Xiao Qinke. She felt terrible, but she couldn’t cry.
Huo Jiuxiao crouched down and hugged her in his arms. He thought to himself that when he was on the verge of death, Lin Wanli’s pain was probably a hundred times worse than this.
Back then, the two of them had talked about life and death. When they talked about it, they were very calm. However, if it really happened, the person who was left behind would not just be miserable.
Fortunately, he didn’t make a choice that they would regret.
“She has been freed.’
If it was possible, Xiao Qinke wanted to be a tree in her next life, protecting her family for eternity, never to be separated.
Therefore, Lin Wanli was prepared to bury Xiao Qinke under a tree to fulfill her only wish…
After Xiao Qinke left, Lin Wanli sent a message to Zhou Tingyang.
“She’s gone, but I’ll never tell you where she’s buried. In this way, you will bear the sin of three lives for the rest of your life until you die. Just live like this for a long time. Your soul will tell you how sad and pitiful it is to have no one to repay your debt.”
“I understand,” Zhou Tingyang replied.
After replying, Zhou Tingyang continued to clean up the rubbish on the steps of the cemetery. His eyes were blurred by tears, and he couldn’t care less.
‘I’m sorry.’
‘I’m really sorry.’
After dealing with Xiao Qinke’s funeral, Lin Wanli returned to AFF’s office. Yan Qiu was waiting at the door, wanting to say something but hesitating.
“Let’s talk about it when we get home.” Lin Wanli knew what she wanted to say. She instructed her and pushed open the office door.
At this time, Huo Yutan was sitting in her chair. She looked at her and said, “President of AFF Asia. You have such freedom at work. You can come and go as you please.”
Xiao Qinke had left, but Lin Wanli’s hostility was still there. She looked at Huo Yu’an coldly. She didn’t do it on purpose, but she couldn’t hide her aura.
At this moment, Huo Yu ‘an was actually a little scared. A woman’s sixth sense told her that something was wrong, but how could a girl from the Huo family lose to Cinderella?
Therefore, she forced herself to be confident.
“What’s wrong? Can’t say? Don’t forget, my duty is to supervise you, so
President Lin, you have to explain your whereabouts.”
Lin Wanli walked up to Huo Yu’an and took her documents from the desk. She was ready to deal with them in the reception area.
However, Huo Yu’an did not let it go. She said, “Hey, hey, hey. Did you break your defense? I thought you wouldn’t be angry. President Lin, you’re actually quite good at pretending, right? Otherwise, with your vicious personality, you shouldn’t have any friends around you. What if you stab me?”
“I’m not in a good mood today. You should restrain yourself.”
“What did I say to you? That you’re good at pretending? Vicious personality? Or do you have no friends?”
Lin Wanli closed her eyes. It was too noisy, so she got up from the sofa and walked to Huo Yutan. She picked her up and walked two steps before throwing her out of the office. She replied, “Indeed, I don’t have any friends. One died today. Do you want to be the second one?”
Huo Yu’an was stunned by Lin Wanli’s strength. She was about to speak when Lin Wanli slammed the office door shut.
Outside the door, Yan Qiu was acting as the door guard.
Huo Yutan frowned and glanced at Yan Qiu. She felt that the real bodies of this master and servant must have been ice in their previous lives.
“How tasteless. You cursed your friend to death just to throw a tantrum at me.”
“The friend is really dead.” Yan Qiu emphasized in front of Huo Yu’an, “Ms. Huo, the dead are the most important. No matter how much trouble you want to cause for fun, you should know your limits.”
“Doesn’t this mean that Lin Wanli doesn’t deserve to have friends?”
“There are a lot of people who hate President Lin. Miss Huo, you should line up. And the people that President Lin hates, even the ones she hates the least out of all of them have lost their reputations.”
Huo Yutan jumped twice at the office door before leaving reluctantly. However, before she left, she asked Yan Qiu to tell Lin Wanli, “Admit that she has a bad character as soon as possible, and I’ll let her go.”
When Yan Qiu heard this, she felt that there was something wrong with her brain.
After Huo Yu’an left, Yan Qiu finally pushed open Lin Wanli’s door and told her, “President Lin, she is from the Huo family. Her name is Huo Yutan, and she is from a branch family of the Huo family. She’s 24 years old this year, graduated from an Ivy League, and majored in the Department of Vehicle Engineering. She’s indeed talented, so it’s actually reasonable for AFF to ask her to take over the Asian branch, but she probably has a personal grudge.”
“Also, she got married in the first half of this year. Her husband is from B City and is in the entertainment industry. He moved to Jinchuan this year. The couple should have just reunited.”
If Huo Qingxiao really liked her as his daughter-in-law and sent someone to test her, then it was reasonable that Huo Yu’an did not like her.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanli felt better.
After returning home, she sat on Master Xiao’s lap and asked.
[Huo Yu’an is from the Huo family, right?]
Huo Jiuxiao hugged her waist and replied, “Yes, but she’s not from the main family.”
[She’s looking for trouble with me. She’s always in the office angering me. Her mouth is asking for a beating. I feel like committing a crime.]
Huo Jiuxiao raised his head and looked at Lin Wanli. Then, he replied, “You just want to whine cutely to me.”
[You saw through me.]
Lin Wanli leaned against Huo Jiuxiao’s chest.
[Xiao Qinke’s death reminded me of my previous life. I was also someone who died once. When I was dying, I had many regrets. One of them was that if I had woken up in a hotel in my previous life and didn’t run away, everything would have been different.
[I’ve tried it. It’s indeed different.]
[Huo Jiuxiao, I’ve really borrowed the courage of two lifetimes to have you..]
