After personally sending Shen Nian to school, Shen Yin was about to drive to the police station to work when her cell phone suddenly started vibrating in her pocket.
When she saw the unfamiliar number on her phone screen, she picked up the call with a frown. An unfamiliar female voice immediately came over the line.
âShen Yin, itâs me.â Lianâe sneered and raised the phone to her lips. When she heard the faint breathing on the other end, the mockery in her eyes intensified. âWhy? You donât even dare to speak? Is this all youâve got?â
Shen Yin finally realized whose voice it was. She lowered her eyes coldly and put the call on speaker mode. She flung the phone against the windscreen in frustration. âWhatâs the matter?â
The corners of Lianâeâs lips curled up into a mocking smile. âIâm downstairs at
Lian Jingâs office. Iâll be in his office soon.â
âMm.â Shen Yin leaned against the car seat and laughed coldly. âSo?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
A determined glint flashed across Lianâeâs eyes. âYou still donât know? Yesterday, I went to see my father and showed him a lot of information about noble ladies. My father promised that when Lian Jing came back, he would personally choose his future partner. Now Lian Jing has taken the initiative to contact me and ask me to come to his office. Why do you think that is so?
Shen Yinâs heart skipped a beat, but she quickly smiled in relief. âDid he ask you to help him contact the woman he likes?â
âYouâre not too stupid.â Lianâe walked into the elevator and sneered. âShen Yin, itâs time for you to wake up from your sweet dream. Donât think that you can secure your position as Mrs Lian just because you gave birth to a son. Let me tell you, someone of Lian Jingâs status will only marry a woman who can help him in his career. You? How can you help him? Youâre just a useless little forensic pathologist! â
âMm, are you done?â Shen Yin looked at the time on her watch and said rather impatiently, âIf youâre done, Iâll hang up first. Iâm in a hurry to get to work and donât have time to listen to your drivel.â
âYou!â Lianâe gripped her cell phone tightly in anger and gritted her teeth. âYouâre not allowed to hang up. I want you to hear for yourself what kind of woman Lian Jing has chosen to be his wife!â
âIs that why you called?â Shen Yin stepped on the accelerator in boredom. As she drove, she said dismissively, âAlright, then you guys chat. I wonât make a sound. Anyway. I would also like to hear what kind of woman Lian Ting fancies.â
Lianâe was stunned. She had not expected such a calm reaction. A trace of anger flashed across her eyes. âLetâs see how long you can retain your composure!â
Lianâe did not believe that Lian Jing would really marry a woman with no status or background. People like them, who were born into wealthy families, did not consider things like true love. Every step they took was for the sake of profit. Lian Jing would be foolish to give up so many better options for Shen Yin!
Outside the office, Zhong Xin was waiting at the elevator door with a terrible expression. The moment he saw Lianâe, he subconsciously frowned. âMiss, President Lian is waiting for you in the office.â
âOkay, got it.â Lianâe put away her cell phone and arrogantly followed Zhong Xin into the family headâs office that she longed to possess.
Behind the desk, Lian Jing heard her voice and raised his head slightly. He put down the document in his hand and leaned back against the soft chair. He narrowed his eyes dangerously. âLiane, who asked you to do this?â
Lianâe had been waiting excitedly for Lian Jing to get up and thank her for finding a suitable girl for him. She had not expected him to react so coldly.
Not only did he have no intention of thanking her, he even addressed her by name.
Lianâe flew into a humiliated rage and slammed the table. âLian Jing, do you still have any respect for your elders?! Iâm your Auntie! How dare you address me by my name!â
Lian Jing opened his eyes lazily, his dark eyes emitting a terrifying coldness. âIf you werenât my Auntie, Iâm afraid you wouldnât be able to stand here and talk to me.â
âWhat do you mean?â Lianâe felt a chill run down her spine. She was so nervous that her breathing grew shallower. A thin layer of sweat appeared on her back.
Lian Jing gently waved his hand and asked Zhong Xin to leave first. After he closed the door, he slowly stood up from behind his desk and walked over to Lianâe. âI only plan to tell you this once. Youâd better remember it well. If this happens again, I wonât take into consideration the fact that youâre Grandpaâs daughter. After all, the Lian family can open a branch in the desert.â
âY-you want to exile me?â Lianâe eyes widened in disbelief. She had never thought that Lian Jing would warn her so harshly. She subconsciously gulped in fear and asked, âWhat exactly are you trying to say?â
Shen Yin, who was driving, subconsciously tightened her grip on the steering wheel. She try to calm her heart that was about to jump out of her chest. For safetyâs sake, she temporarily parked the car by the roadside and held her breath, waiting for what he was going to say next.
Lian Jingâs cold voice came from the cell phone. She heard him say firmly, clearly enunciating word, âShen Yin the only wife I will have. If you dare to bring any more vulgar photos home, donât blame me for being merciless..â
