Hence, Father Lin returned home in a huff an hour after he left. As soon as he entered the house, he looked around for Mother Lin. When he realized that she was still in the mood to chat with her friends on the phone, he exploded in anger and snatched Mother Lin’s phone, smashing it into pieces.

“I’m already like this, and you still have the mood to laugh?”

Mother Lin looked at the debris on the ground and was shocked. After a long time, she asked, “Huaijing, what’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong? Shouldn’t you ask your good daughter? She dug a trap for me to jump into and ruin my reputation. I’m her Father!” Father Lin grabbed Mother Lin’s hand and said angrily, “The entire Jinchuan is laughing at me now, saying that I’m an ugly ducking and that I seduced you for the Lin Family’s assets. Xueyi, I really regret it now. I should have had other choices. That way, I wouldn’t have been laughed at and humiliated by your Mom for so many years! I shouldn’t have been with you back then!”

Lin Xueyi looked at Father Lin who had suddenly exploded in shock. She went forward to hug him and said, “Huaijing, I’ve let you down. I’ve always known. I can give you everything I have, but please don’t say such hurtful words okay?” “What else can you give me?” Father Lin asked sarcastically.

“I can go forward and clarify that everything that happened has nothing to do with you. I was in a bad mental state and did something wrong. I can also go to the Lin Family to prove it. Huaijing, believe me. This time, I won’t let you suffer any more grievances.”

After hearing Lin Xueyi’s words, Qin Huaijing finally calmed down and asked with uncertainty, “Are you really willing?

“I’m willing. You’re my husband and everything to me. Besides, you’ve done so much for me, but I’ve never sacrificed anything for you. This time, let me help you.” Lin Xueyi hugged her husband tightly. She was too afraid. She was afraid of losing her family and losing Qin Huaijing. That was all her emotional sustenance for more than twenty years.

Moreover, her husband was right. Every time the Lin Family humiliated her husband, she could only swallow her anger. It seemed that she had never been able to put in a good word for her husband in front of the Old Madam. However, this time, even if she had to destroy everything, she had to help her husband get back what belonged to him.

“Xueyi, it’s been hard on you. I will arrange everything. When the time comes, you just need to cooperate.” Qin Huaijing said hypocritically, “With you doing this for me, it makes me feel that all the pain I’ve suffered in the past has not been in vain.”

Lin Xueyi leaned into her husband’s embrace. At this moment, she was satisfied.

She seemed to be ready to sacrifice herself. She lived in seclusion and did not hear the gossip of the outside world anyway.

However, she did not know that she had sacrificed everything in exchange for fatal exploitation and betrayal.

The video conference lasted for three hours. When Lin Wanli came out of the conference room at home, Yan Qiu had already heated up the food for her.

“Where’s Youran?” Lin Wanli asked about her daughter.

“She just woke up from her afternoon nap and Aunt Qi has taken her to the garden. President Lin, don’t worry. Aunt Qi will do her best for Youran.” Yan Qiu handed over the chopsticks and said, “The Lin Family has already issued a document to fire Qin Huaijing. I deliberately released the news. The Ye Family’s mother and daughter should already know that you got rejected at Yue Group.”

Lin Wanli raised her hand to look at the time. It was already four o’clock in the afternoon.

Qin Huaijing did not make any moves at all. Presumably, he had already been held back by the mother and daughter of the Ye Family.

Qin Huaijing had been an ugly duckling for many years, and he hated it when people called him that. If he could hold back and not refute, he must be preparing a big move.

And how could the mother and daughter of the Ye Family save him?

Lin Wanli thought for a moment and finally came to a conclusion. Who else could these three pieces of trash suck blood from?

“Yan Qiu, I will send Elder Hua off on behalf of my teacher tomorrow morning. Help me find someone. If necessary, use some tricks.” Lin Wanli instructed.

It was time to use some pawns.

In the evening, the sky was filled with sunset.

The only sound left in the surroundings of the Yue Group’s villa was the chirping of insects.

After carefully studying the formula Lin Wanli had sent over, the Yue Family’s Formula Master reported to the old lady, “Chairman, do you find this formula familiar?”

Old Madam Yue nodded. Although many years had passed, the scene of her going against the Lin Family in court was still vivid in her mind. She could not forget it.

“This formula is developed on the basis of the formula at that time. So I think Miss Lin sent this over because she wants to return it to its owner.”

After Old Madam Yue heard this, she turned her gaze back to the formula and muttered, “Lin Wanli, what kind of person are you?”

The sunset glow dyed the waters of Jinchuan red, and Yujing Peak was also shrouded in the glow.

Lin Wanli finished her work and sat in the garden, watching Youran leisurely pluck the grass and make flowers. In her hand, she held her phone and opened the H app. She watched as Huo Jiuxiao’s position got closer and closer to home.

However, just as Lin Wanli was about to welcome Huo Jiuxiao’s car, she realized that the dot had turned around and was moving further and further away.

At the same time, Huo Jiuxiao looked at his phone and realized something. This woman, despite being so busy, was always online. Did she really want to know where he was?

Soon, the car drove into the parking lot of the Diheng Building. Song Huaishu opened the car door for Huo Jiuxiao. At this time, a few higher-ups in the company surrounded him.

[President Lu is a gambler. It’s only a matter of time before he gets to this point. I really don’t want to stay here anymore.]

[It wasn’t easy to work hard for half a year, but in the end, he used it to gamble.

He caused a bunch of mess, and his nephew didn’t care. How unlucky.]

[I think they should close down earlier so that we don’t have to chase after

President Lu every day.]

Huo Jiuxiao could already hear the voices in their hearts even before they reached him.

“Master Xiao, the company is in a mess now. We don’t know how to deal with it.” The Vice President walked up to Huo Jiuxiao and said, “President Lu has gambled a lot overseas this time and caused a huge mess. He’s been missing for a few days now. There’s no one in the company to take charge, and there are many things that we can’t make up our minds about. Our business partners are either rich or noble, and we can’t afford to offend them. We had no choice but to call you.”

“If you don’t want to stay, I won’t stop you.” Huo Jiuxiao looked at the three of them coldly.

The three of them were stunned.

Because that was what they were thinking. For some reason, Huo Jiuxiao could see through them.

“Master Xiao, that’s not what we meant…”

“I’m too lazy to know what you mean.” Huo Jiuxiao said as he led Song Huaishu into the elevator. He was so annoyed that he was about to explode.

The three of them looked scared, but they still had to keep up with him. When Huo Jiuxiao was angry, the air around him would be very tense and people around him would not be able to breathe normally.

[Master Xiao is so scary. It’s not easy to deal with the shareholders either. What should we do?]

Huo Jiuxiao was impatient. He turned around and said to the Vice President, “Which shareholder has complaints? Tell him to look for me if he got the guts.” This time, the Vice President was completely stunned.

He… He… Once was a coincidence, how could he see through people’s hearts over and over again?

“Call the people who went to Europe over. I want to question them..”
