“Xueyi, you heard it, right? After what happened to Wanli tonight, how can our Lin Family still live?”

Mother Lin pinched her bag and felt extremely uncomfortable. “I don’t know why it became like this. Although Wanli didn’t do her job properly in the past, she was very obedient!”

“How could you not know? You gave birth to Wanli, how did you teach her?”

Mother Lin did not say anything and just lowered her head in a grievance.

Father Lin hated her the most when she acted like this. She was worlds apart from Mother Ye. However, what was even more disgusting was that he had to continue coaxing her before Lin Family was in his hands.

“Why don’t you go and persuade Wanli? Why doesn’t she want to be the daughter of the Lin Family and become the Executive Vice Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, she will suffer a huge loss if she deals with men. I’m doing this for her own good. Xueyi, you have to understand my painstaking efforts.”

Mother Lin opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

“Back then, for you, I even gave up my reputation. In order to marry you, I directly married into the Lin Family. All these years, you know how much I’ve sacrificed for this family and how many looks I’ve received behind my back.”

Mother Lin could not stand it when Father Lin brought up the past. In her heart, she felt that she owed her husband a lot.

Seeing that Mother Lin’s expression had softened, Father Lin struck while the iron was hot and continued, “I don’t wish for anything else. I only wish for Ah Li to return home so that our family of three can live happily as a family. Xueyi, I’m really afraid that this family will fall apart. Please help me.”

“Huaijing, don’t say that. How do you want me to help you?” Mother Lin compromised.

As a person who was schemed against, she did not seem to know that she had been coerced for many years, nor did she know that she had been controlled by Father Lin for many years.

“Didn’t the Secretary General of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce say that he was going to hold an internal decision-making meeting? When the time comes, you can find Ah Li and stop her from attending the meeting. This way, the Chairman won’t be able to use her and she can only come home.”

“But, is this good?” Mother Lin started to hesitate again. “Besides, Ah Li might not be willing to listen to me.”

“Xueyi, as long as you are willing to go, I will accompany you to find our daughter!”

“Okay! I believe that she will be willing.” Mother Lin seemed to have awakened her anticipation for a family reunion.

Lin Xueyi did not know about Father Lin’s plan. She only chose to let her husband have his way again. Because she really did not want this family to break up just like that. She believed that Ah Li would understand, right?

Actually, Father Lin’s plan was very vicious. On the day of the decision-making meeting, as long as he created a little trouble for Lin Xueyi, Lin Wanli would definitely go and find her regardless of anything. Even if she was cold-hearted and did not care about Lin Xueyi, Father Lin could use this as an excuse to spread the news that Lin Wanli could even ignore her own mother for the sake of power.

In any case, he and the mother and daughter of the Ye Family would benefit.

Of course, he hoped that the Chinese Chamber of Commerce would abandon Lin Wanli and not let this trash hinder their plan.

However, it was a pity that Lin Wanli, who had died once, was no longer the useless heiress who could be schemed against…

…

When she reached home, it was just past nine o’clock.

When the black car stopped in the courtyard of Yujing Peak, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became awkward. Song Huaishu could not turn around because even if he did not turn around, he could still feel how wanton and savage the male hormones emitted by Master Xiao were.

Huo Jiuxiao did not move, and neither did Lin Wanli. The three of them were in a stalemate for a few seconds before Huo Jiuxiao suddenly asked the driver, “Are you planning to spend the night here?”

“No, no, no… Master Xiao, I’ll leave now.” Song Huaishu hurriedly packed up and got out of the car, running out in the rain.

When the door closed, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became sticky and ambiguous. There was no light in the car, but there was a light at the entrance of the courtyard. However, the lights were dim and accompanied by the heavy rain. Lin Wanli could barely see the man’s body beside her.

Lin Wanli’s heart was pounding. She wanted to push the door open and get out of the car, but just as she reached out, she was pulled over. Then, she felt her world spin as she kissed him.

“Have I ever said that in our circle, we indulge ourselves in… sex?”

Lin Wanli lay on Huo Jiuxiao’s lap and said helplessly, “The meaning of that word is temperament.”

“Whatever the scumbag says.”

The scenes of the hotel two years ago suddenly replayed in her mind. Lin Wanli consciously recalled them and instantly felt her mouth go dry.

Huo Jiuxiao moved closer to Lin Wanli’s earlobe and asked frivolously, “Do you still want to have a taste of what it was like two years ago?”

[Damn it! He can even see through this?]

Huo Jiuxiao could not help but wrap his arms around her waist and lean against her…

That night was indeed steamy.
