Chapter 165: Achieved Her Goal
Translator: Atlas Studios      Editor: Atlas Studios
In the car, Xing Linlin deliberately cozied up to Xing Zewu. She wanted to see how far Xing Zewu could go for her. After what happened last night, her reputation had been ruined. Cheng Xingyang did not even come to pick her up today. This was the first time Xing Linlin tasted defeat. All these years, she had been tainting Xing Shu l s reputation and did not expect her efforts to come to nought in the end. She had to fight back. The first step of fighting back was to see how far Xing Zewu could go for her.
Xing Linlin turned her head with reddened eyes. She looked very sad. âBrother, Xing Shu was the one who told me to handle the donation paperwork back then. She told me to use my name. I didnât expect her to turn around and spin a different tale in the end. I was too naive. How could anyone treat me well for no reason? She must have known that I was the rightful daughter of the Xing family long ago, so she deliberately set me up like this.â
Xing Zewu could not bear to see Xing Linlin suffer. He had lost a lot of weight recently. The two of them were just one step away from getting to home run. But now, they were biological siblings. Xing Zewu gripped the steering wheel tightly and controlled himself not to look into Xing Linlinâs eyes. âThe Xing family will settle this matter. Next time, when you treat someone with an open heart, remember to be careful. Dont be deceived again.â
It seemed that he had forgiven her and believed her words. Xing Linlin lowered her eyes. Xing Zewu trusted her, so she could make good use of this.
Xing Linlin tugged at Xing Zewuâs sleeve. âIâm sorry, Brother. I didnât expect to be the daughter of the Xing family. Donât be angry with me. Youâll definitely meet a better woman in the future.â
Xing Zewu was soft-hearted toward Xing Linlin. When he heard this, his heart ached. âYeah, I will. So will you.â
Xing Linlin choked on her tears. âI wonât. After that viral video was circulated and coupled with what happened last night, no one will dare to marry me in the future. Cheng Xingyang didnât come to pick me up today either. He must be disappointed in me.â She wiped her tears. âBrother, Cheng Xingyang and I are together because we got drunk that day. When I woke up, I was also very flustered. I didnât know what to do. I donât like Cheng Xingyang, but the person I really like will never look at me.â
âWhat do you mean? Who do you like?â Xing Zewu found it strange. Over the years, he had been used to agreeing to Xing Linlinâs requests. He had never rejected her requests.
Xing Linlin had been hankering after Cheng Lang for a long time. She took this opportunity to express her true feelings. âThis incident has made me realize that Cheng Xingyang doesnât really like me. I wonât be happy with him. Iâve seen Cheng Lang a few times in the past. Heâs a man worth entrusting my life to and better than Cheng Xingyang. If I can be with Cheng Lang, Iâd be willing to die even. Brother, can you help me?
How many women in the capital would dare to pursue Cheng Lang? One look at Cheng Lang and they would be frozen by his cold aura. However, Xing Linlin actually said that she wanted to pursue Cheng Lang? Xing Zewu found it unbelievable.
Xing Linlin smiled bitterly. âBrother, do you also think that Iâm not worthy of Cheng Lang? My reputation is ruined nowâ¦
Xing Zewu said, âHow could that be? Linlin, you deserve the best. But Cheng Langâ¦â
Xing Linlin said, âCheng Lang can even stand Xing Shu, so why would he reject me? Or do you think I canât hold a candle to Xing Shu?â
Xing Zewu replied, âHow could that be? Youâre a hundred times better than Xing Shu!â He answered without hesitation. It â*Jas obvious how much of a filter he had for Xing Linlin.
Xing Linlin smiled smugly. âSince Xing Shu can be so close to Cheng Lang, so can I. Brother, help me.â
Xing Zewu had been bewitched by Xing Linlin for more than 10 years. How could he walk out of it overnight? He only hesitated for a few seconds before nodding with difficulty. âOkay, I will help you. But promise me that you wonât do anything rash.â
Having achieved her goal, Xing Linlinâs lips curled up.
In the police station, Xing Shu was still answering the policeâs questions in detail. She had also handed Liu Chunâs photograph to the police to see if they could find any clues from it. The police quickly contacted the Liu family and even sent this photograph. Because it was Xing Shu who provided the clues, the police did not avoid Xing Shu when communicating with the Liu family.
The person who answered the phone at the Liu residence was Liu Xiangru. When she heard that it was Xing Shu who furnished the photograph, the first thing she said was, âWhy didnât you arrest Xing Shu?â
The police officer choked and looked at Xing Shu reflexively. He could not help but reply, âMiss Liu Xiangru, did you hear wrongly? Miss Xing Shu was the one who furnished the photo. Sheâs the kidnapperâs next target..â
