“What’s going on? Wanli, why did you plot against your father?” Mother Lin was confused and did not know what the father and daughter were arguing about.

“Wanli, I just want this family. I don’t want the family to fall apart just like that. Whether you understand or not, your mother and I have a clear conscience towards you.” Of course, Father Lin could not explain that to Mother Lin. He had no real power now, so he had to hold onto Mother Lin as his last rope firmly. He also had to complete the act. “Xueyi, let’s go home.”

“Ah Li, I don’t know why you’ve become like this. Today, your father and I have decided to let you go home. Mother doesn’t want anything else. I just want this family. However, we were both in a car accident, and you still have this attitude. I’m really sad. Perhaps it’s inappropriate for your father to come looking for you like this, but we’ve been looking for you for two years. Do you know how much pain we’ve suffered and how many days and nights we’ve endured?”

Mother Lin said to Lin Wanli in disappointment, “Perhaps my daughter died two years ago. I really don’t know you now.”

Lin Wanli’s heart was suddenly pierced by a needle.

The pain and despair of the past, the pain and betrayal of two lifetimes, all replayed in her mind.

If it were the Lin Wanli of the past, she would have been kidnapped by her family ties and compromised.

However, in the face of her hatred and impending misfortune, Lin Wanli could only endure her mother’s misunderstanding and said firmly, “That’s right, Madam Lin. Your daughter, Lin Wanli, died two years ago. However, the person who killed her is still at large. Do you want me to forget my hatred, pretend nothing happened, and go home to continue being a useless daughter?” “Do you want a daughter or a puppet that obeys your orders?”

“Madam Lin, I’m very grateful you have looked for me for two years because it proves you love me very much. But why do you have to sacrifice me after finding me?”

“I…” Mother Lin was speechless.

Lin Wanli restrained her sorrowful emotions and stubbornly wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. Then, her tone softened, “Mom, go home.”

Lin Wanli was holding Father Lin back now so that Father Lin could hold onto Mother Lin tightly. She wanted the initiative to return to her Mom’s hands and not be forced to accept it now because that was tantamount to destroying the world for her mother.

Mother Lin wanted to say something more, but when she thought of Lin Wanli’s words just now, she couldn’t open her mouth. She didn’t know how much pain Lin Wanli had suffered. How could she ask her daughter to forgive her?

“Let’s go.” Father Lin pulled Mother Lin, “Let’s pretend that we never gave birth to this beast.”

Lin Wanli watched as her mother was pulled away, but she was indifferent because she knew how heartless the man in front of her was.

Father Lin took Mother Lin away just like that. However, before he left, his eyes were filled with hatred and malice.

Lin Wanli thought that her scumbag father definitely did not plan to use the same trick of getting the entertainment reporters. Otherwise, he would really be as stupid as a pig. However, the Old Madam had only temporarily dismissed him from his post. To prevent him from causing any more trouble in the near future, Lin Wanli decided to add fuel to the fire and help him let the Old Madam hate him even more.

The scum was involved with her mother. Hence, she couldn’t do anything to him for the time being.

Otherwise, that father of hers would be the first to go to hell.

After everyone left, Secretary Tao walked out and stood beside Lin Wanli. He asked, “Is half a month enough?”

“Enough.” Lin Wanli answered confidently, “Besides, how do you know I didn’t set this trap for someone else?”

“Who is it?”

“An extremely disgusting small fry.” After she finished speaking, Lin Wanli walked down the stairs, “There’s no need to send me off, Secretary Tao. There’s still a good show tonight. Remember to watch it.”

Secretary Tao smiled faintly and thought, Lin Wanli, were you a negotiation expert or a screenwriter?

Across the street, Huo Jiuxiao’s car was still parked. When Lin Wanli looked up, she saw the black car’s back. However, it only took a few seconds for the luxury car to leave.

Lin Wanli thought momentarily, took out her phone, and sent Huo Jiuxiao a message, “Are you going home tonight?” I miss you.

However, the news eventually sank into the sea.

When they returned to the parking lot of the Diheng Building and parked the car, Song Huaishu turned his head and asked Huo Jiuxiao, “Master Xiao, where are you going later?”

“Anywhere.” Huo Jiuxiao replied casually.

He had come here today because he had discovered the whereabouts of the person who attacked him. Initially, he should not have personally taken part in that business deal. But, the other party had waited for half a year and offered five times the price to ask him to provide protection personally. In the end, Huo Jiuxiao nodded and agreed.

He didn’t know why. Perhaps, it was because that ‘thing’ under protection and Lin Wanli were taking the same flight back. He probably didn’t want the mother and daughter disturbed because of his subordinates’ sloppiness.

Perhaps only he knew the answer..
