After returning home, Wang Qi grabbed Lin Yun with one hand and rushed into the room.
When Aunt Xu saw the two of them, she was about to ask if she needed to prepare supper when they disappeared.
As soon as she entered the room, Wang Qi turned around and looked at Lin Yun seriously. âWhat did you mean on the way just now?â
Lin Yun looked at Wang Qiâs serious and surprised expression and asked after a while, âHave you never thought about why your grandfather forced you to stay?â
Wang Qi fell silent when Lin Yun asked this.
It wasnât that she hadnât thought about it, but she was used to being free and didnât want to be burdened by her familyâs matters.
There were others in the house, werenât there?
Seeing that Wang Qi did not respond, Lin Yun pulled Wang Qiâs hand and sat down on the sofa.
âI know youâve liked to be unrestrained since you were young,â Lin Yun said softly, not wanting Wang Qi to be too agitated.
âHowever, some people have already started to attack your grandfather. Donât you want to know who did this?â
Hearing Lin Yunâs words, Wang Qi fell silent.
Lin Yun held Wang Qiâs hand tightly and said, âYou know, right? The person who wants to harm your grandfather and who is coveting the Wang familyâs assetsâ¦â
âActually, youâve always cared about them.â
âYou are concerned about whether they can live happilyâ¦â
Hearing Lin Yunâs words, Wang Qiâs eyes turned red.
Lin Yun revealed a helpless smile. âI can understand you, but I also hope you can understand your grandfather.â
âYou hate your parents for having neglected you since you were young, but your grandfather treated you like a treasure.â
âEven when you said you wanted to stay abroad and not come back to manage the family business, he let you make your own decisions.â
Two tears slowly rolled down Wang Qiâs face.
Lin Yun gently wiped Wang Qiâs tears. After a while, she said, âYour grandfather has done a lot for you. Itâs time for you to do something for him.â
Wang Qi took the handkerchief from Lin Yun and gently wiped her tears. Then, she looked at Lin Yun firmly. âAlright! Iâll listen to you! Iâll do whatever you want me to do!â
The corners of Lin Yunâs mouth curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile. âYou donât have to force yourself. Just do everything you can.â
Wang Qi lowered her head slightly. After a while, she raised her head and smiled. âI know! I can!â
Lin Yun reached out and hugged Wang Qi, giving her strength.
After a night, Lin Yun discussed her plan with Wang Qi.
Apart from being shocked by Lin Yunâs meticulous plan, Wang Qi did not expect so much to have happened!
Wang Qi couldnât help but admire Lin Yun. âHow do you know so much⦠and how do you know⦠their plan?â
Lin Yun didnât know how to explain to Wang Qi that her thoughts were all because she had experienced a life worse than death.
She did not want Wang Qi to understand those things since those memories were too painful!
Lin Yun shook her head with a faint smile. âIâve probably watched too many movies about the business world over the years.â
Hearing Lin Yunâs perfunctory answer, Wang Qi did not probe further.
Perhaps, after the past few years, they had secrets that they could not share with each other.
If Lin Yun was like this, so was sheâ¦
â¦.
âXiaoyu, why are you looking for me at this time?â Zhu Huan looked at Lin Yu with a smile.
Lin Yu looked behind Zhu Huan. âYou didnât tell the others that you were here to see me, right?â
Zhu Huan quickly shook her head and said, âMy parents went to bed early and are already asleep!â
âWhy did you ask me out?â Zhu Huan asked again.
Lin Yu sighed slowly and leaned against the metal railing. She lit a cigarette.
Seeing this, Zhu Huan quickly asked with concern, âWhatâs wrong? Are you in a bad mood?â
Lin Yu took a deep puff of her cigarette and slowly exhaled a grayish-white smoke ring before saying, âYouâve seen Lin Yun. She and I really⦠canât get along.â
Zhu Huan recalled what happened when she saw Lin Yun and couldnât help but nod. âIndeed, that person is a little difficult to get along with!â
