It was late at night, and there was wind. The villa was surrounded by the sound of waves.

Huo Jiuxiao and Lin Wanli had their fingers intertwined as they walked barefoot on the beach, enjoying their time alone.

“I heard Duan Yanxing talk about Huo Yu’an today.” Master Xiao suddenly said.

[The Huo family is so big. Why does he still care about Huo Yutan?] Lin Wanli asked.

“Because Huo Yutan looked for him and asked about me.” Huo Jiuxiao explained.

[Why does she want to know about you?]

“She has depression. When she was young, she worshiped me like a religion. Perhaps she was looking for a reason to support herself. A few years ago, she was exiled abroad and gave up on herself for a few years. She also played some tricks like self-harm.” Huo Jiuxiao said, “I only found out today that her husband is Xiao Huaixing.”

[What’s wrong with this person?] Lin Wanli’s curiosity was completely aroused.

“He has been supporting an actress for almost eight years.

Huo,” said Huo Jiuxiao.

Lin Wanli was stunned. She instantly felt empathy for Huo Yu’an. [I don’t understand. If he doesn’t like her, why did he marry her?]

“A man’s world is far more complicated than a woman can imagine. He probably did this to find a shield for his actors. I heard that although the Xiao family does this business, they have a rule that they can’t marry artists.”

After Lin Wanli heard this, she did not speak for a long time because she only felt sad.

Judging from Huo Yu’an’s expression, he probably didn’t know. Lin Wanli used to think that she would rather have the ugly truth than be fed with beautiful lies. However, when it came to Huo Yu’an, she felt that perhaps it would be better to be deceived for a lifetime.

There were really too many men in this world who treated women as tools. It was as if women did not have a heart, and they were not soft-hearted when they used them.

Perhaps he sensed Lin Wanli’s emotions, so Huo Jiuxiao reached out and pulled her into his arms. The two of them looked at the rolling waves in the sea.

“Do you feel like life is like a play?” Huo Jiuxiao asked from above Lin Wanli’s head, “I’ve always felt that weak people don’t deserve to have feelings. It’s because it’s hard for people without self-awareness to break free from the swamp. They spend their whole lives healing their wounds.”

“Ah Li… How fortunate am I to have you.”

Because no matter when and where, she would run towards him without hesitation.

Lin Wanli hugged Huo Jiuxiao back and couldn’t help but ask in her heart. [Don’t you want to raise and support another female celebrity?]

“Other than you, I would feel annoyed with anyone else.”

Although Huo Jiuxiao’s world-weariness faded a lot after he got together with Lin Wanli, it did not disappear. Sometimes, he felt that he was a two-faced person.

On the other hand, he was positive and healthy. When he was with Lin Wanli, he felt that he was no different from a normal person.

However, once he left Lin Wanli, he would still feel frustrated and disgusted with the world. Because he had more memories of Lin Wanli, it squeezed out a lot of darkness in his heart.

[Then you have to make me happy. If one day I get annoyed with you…]

Lin Wanli didn’t finish her words because Huo Jiuxiao sealed them with a kiss.

If it weren’t for the fact that there were people in the nearby sea, Huo Jiuxiao would have carried her to a rock and punished her severely.

[Accept your fate. You can’t do without me.]

‘Yes, indeed.’

‘Without you, my life is meaningless.’

The next day, Lin Wanli went to work as usual, but when she entered the office, she saw that Huo Yutan did not look too good. Although she had already put on makeup to cover it up, Lin Wanli could still see the dark circles under her eyes.

Thinking of what Huo Jiuxiao had told her, Lin Wanli let out a sigh. She asked, “Are you tired today?”

“It doesn’t stop me from keeping an eye on you.” Huo Yutan said weakly.

She had insomnia last night. Although she reminded herself not to care about her mother-in-law’s words, those words were all thorns that pierced into her heart.

“The company’s reputation is rising now. Pack your things and go back to

France.”

“Of course not!” Huo Yutan blurted out.

Although she was in deep trouble, she still did not forget the task Huo Qingxiao had given her.

The reason Huo Qingxiao had asked her to appear was to test Lin Wanli’s ability. Since Lin Wanli could play around with Huo Yu’an like a monkey, she could satisfy Huo Qingxiao’s requirements in terms of intelligence.

Lin Wanli opened her mouth to say something, but she swallowed her words.

‘Let go of the complex of helping others, respect the fate of others, don’t be too self-righteous, don’t think you’re God.’

Therefore, Lin Wanli lowered her head and worked hard until Huo Yu’an fell asleep on the table. She let her secretary in and covered Huo Yu ‘an with a blanket.

From a woman’s point of view, Huo Yu’an was so smart that Lin Wanli thought that it was impossible for her not to notice anything. If she thought that her marriage was normal, she was either deceiving herself or had never felt love. No matter from which angle, she was pitiful.

Lin Group approached the entertainment company to ask about buying off the media and Internet trolls, but because the other party knew about Lin Group’s situation, they asked for an exorbitant price.

Old Madam Lin swallowed her anger and felt that the people in that circle really had no bottom line. But that was her only hope, so she could only compromise.

After the two sides discussed the content and conditions, the people from the entertainment company left the Lin Group. However, after the team returned to the company, they received another mission. Moreover, the price was doubled.

That was to bite back at the Lin Group!

The marketing team immediately turned around and started a new collaboration, throwing the Lin Group to the back of their minds. After all, there were people in this industry who pursued their dreams, while there were people who only wanted to make money.

Therefore, they put aside their original plan to sign a contract with the Lin Group. At noon, they quickly moved out and released news related to the Lin Group. However, it was not what the Lin Group thought.

“Some unrelated gossip in the industry. A certain skincare company has joined forces with Internet trolls to cover the victims’ mouths. They want to spread rumors about the victim’s relatives. Everyone, be careful to avoid any possible consequences. ”

Immediately after, the gossip spread all over the internet, and an influential blogger came out to speak.

@Climbing Walls: “These days, rich people really do whatever they want. Although I’m involved with celebrities in the entertainment industry, I definitely have a bottom line when it comes to matters involving human lives. A certain skincare company paid me to cover my mouth. I’m sorry, but I can’t do it. Such a lousy company, please get out of my sight. It’s simply too disgusting. ”

The crowd below dug out the Lin Group in minutes. They did not even need skills.

It involved human lives, touched everyone’s bottom line, and in addition to forcefully covering the mouths of consumers, the Lin Group had almost stepped on all the mines…

Linda finally knew why Ye Weiyin had suggested this to the old lady yesterday.

It was like kicking the Lin Group to hell..
