Because the Chinese Chamber of Commerce was next to the Municipal Hall, when Huo Jiuxiao came out of the Municipal Hall with Song Huaishu, he saw a middle-aged couple rushing toward the Chinese Chamber of Commerceâs entrance. The manâs face was covered in blood, and the woman anxiously pulled the man, but it seemed useless.
âLin Wanli!â
Huo Jiuxiao couldnât hear the shouts, but he saw the woman he hadnât seen for the entire night. She wore a white silk dress and was walking out of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
The man didnât say anything else. He moved in front of Lin Wanli and raised his hand to slap herâ¦
âHissâ¦â Song Huaishu couldnât help but break out in a cold sweat for Lin Wanli.
[Tsk tsk, Madam seems to be in trouble. I wonder if Master Xiao will take care of it.]
Fortunately, Lin Wanli was prepared and grabbed Father Linâs wrist.
âThe self-defense skills that Madam practiced so hard previously were for today, right?â
âLetâs go.â However, Huo Jiuxiao didnât intend to interfere. He only said one word to Song Huaishu.
âNo, Master Xiao, the one opposite is your wife.â
Huo Jiuxiao ignored him and got into the car.
Because he knew very well that Lin Wanli would not want him to see the unbearable scene of her fighting with her family.
[Sigh, I donât know what Master Xiao is thinking. President Lin is such a good woman.
Song Huaishu got into the car and was about to drive when Huo Jiuxiao said,
âStop.â
Song Huaishu turn around and saw his Master Xiaoâs gaze fixed on the opposite sideâ¦
âLin Wanli! You b*stard, your parents were in a car accident, and you still have the mood to do your messy business here! Do you want to wait for us to die before you come crying at our graves?â Father Lin shouted.
Lin Wanli grabbed Father Linâs hand tightly. Behind her, the audience who followed closely was the familiar faces at the conference table earlier.
Everyone had just watched a good show. But it had not even been ten minutes. Had the second show already begun?
âWanli, why did you send your assistant over?â Mother Lin felt a little wronged. After all, her daughter didnât care about her life or death. How disappointing was that?
Lin Wanli shook off Father Linâs hand and said to Father Lin, âFather, you taught me since young that people who do great things should not be bothered by trifles. If you want to achieve success, there must be sacrifices. How did you forget everything?â
âHow would I have known that you could be so heartless? You donât even care about your parentsâ lives?â
However, Lin Wanli only stepped forward and leaned closer to Father Lin, saying, âFather, please pay attention to your identity. The son-in-law of the Lin Family is actually fighting with his daughter in public. Youâve washed all your dirty linens in public. How do you think the Old Madam will think? I know youâve always wanted to step into the upper class, but people in the upper class donât do such things that are completely disgraceful!â
Wasnât that a case of the ugly duckling driven to desperation?
Father Linâs body trembled when he heard that.
He also started to size up Old Madam Lin, who was behind Lin Wanli, from the corner of his eye.
âIâm just too upset. I never thought that my daughter would ignore my life and death. Lin Wanli, when you went missing, we looked for you for two years! Your mother never thought of giving up.â No matter what, Father Lin had to label Lin Wanli as disloyal and unfilial.
âBut what about you?â
âYour fatherâs head is injured, and all you did was send an assistant over?â âLin Wanli, youâve really disappointed us.â
The audience did not move because they really wanted to know if Lin Wanli, who had just dominated everyone in the conference room, could handle such a family matter. If it were true, what right did she have to oversee the Chinese Chamber of Commerce?
Everyone thought that Lin Wanli would become the plantain leaf in the rain. After all, at that moment, it was her parents who were criticizing her in public.
Howeverâ¦
âFather, if you want to clear things up here, fine.â After she finished speaking, Lin Wanli took out her phone from her purse and made a call in front of everyone..
