Chapter 80 - 80: She Had Too Much Hope

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the end, the meal at the Platinum Hotel ended on bad terms. Rumor had it that the Yue Group and Lin Wanli had a huge argument in the dining room. The Yue Group even used their lawyers to sue Lin Wanli for threatening the safety of others. They even mobilized lanyers from both sides to mediate.

So, the bet regarding the Chinese Chamber of Commerce was definitely impossible to fulfill, right?

This time, Lin Wanli did not publicize the news because it would arouse the suspicion of the Ye family’s mother and daughter. She deliberately covered it up and sent the news back to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. The spies that the Ye family’s mother and daughter had planted there would naturally pass the news over.

In the afternoon, on the way back to Yujing Peak, Lin Xueyi looked at Lin Wanli hesitantly.

Although Lin Wanli was taking a nap, she could still feel that burning gaze. Hence, she asked, “Mom, do you have something to say to me?”

“I want to find a time to talk about divorce with that b*stard.” Lin Xueyi said,

“Since we want to start over, we have to cut off everything from the past.”

“As long as you thought about it carefully, I will support you no matter what decision you make.” Lin Wanli said, “I’ll get the lawyer to draw up an agreement and let that sc*mbag leave the house with nothing. I’ll also ask him to compensate for the mental damage. Then, I’ll let him watch my mother walk back to the peak of her life step by step.”

“Wanli, there’s one more thing that only Old Madam and I know.” Lin Xueyi took a deep breath, her expression serious. She said, “I have 5% of the Lin Group’s shares in my hands. This was your grandfather’s will back then. It was only because of your uncle’s death that I never mentioned this matter.” “So that sc*mbag still doesn’t know?”

“I never thought that this was mine, so I never mentioned it to Qin Huaijing.” Lin Wanli asked, “Then how do you want to deal with these shares now?”

“Sell it away and invest in Yue Group. I will announce this news on the day Qin Huaijing signs the divorce agreement.” Lin Xueyi planned.

“Wouldn’t Qin Huaijing go crazy then? This was something he had always dreamed of.” Lin Wanli even laughed out loud, “Also, regarding the shares, I’ll go with you to the Lin Group to discuss it. I want to be awe-inspiring and impressive too.”

“Aren’t you impressive enough?” Lin Xueyi glared at her and said, “You really gave me a fright just now. You were too engrossed in your argument with Old Madam Yue just now.”

“How can you deceive others if you don’t get into character?”

“What about you? Wanli, Huo Jiuxiao hasn’t contacted you for the past two days. You told me you’re very happy. Is that true?” Lin Xueyi had long wanted to ask.

Lin Xueyi couldn’t be blamed for being worried. Shouldn’t a husband and wife call each other?

That was because Lin Xueyi didn’t know that Huo Jiuxiao was deaf, and Lin Wanli couldn’t tell anyone about it.

“Mom, it’s my own business…” Lin Wanli was just about to reassure Lin Xueyi when Xu Menglan called. Lin Wanli didn’t avoid it and answered the call in front of her mother.

“Little Miss, Ye Zhenzhen said that she would take me home this morning, but she is still putting me in a hotel. Are they suspecting me?”

“You can stay in the hotel today. Ye Zhenzhen will go to the Lin family to find the mole,” replied Lin Wanli.

“Then what should we do?” Xu Menglan was a little flustered.

“I’ve already made arrangements according to Ye Weiyin’s wariness. You don’t need to worry about anything, just wait.” Lin Wanli assured her, “Aunt Meng, you won’t blame me for sending you to the Ye family’s mother and daughter, right?”

“Of course not.” Xu Menglan replied with some sincerity because the mother and daughter were really generous.

“That’s good.” Lin Wanli replied with a smile.

However, Xu Menglan didn’t hear the hidden meaning in Lin Wanli’s words. She didn’t know that the reason why the Ye family’s mother and daughter were so generous was that they needed her to keep an eye on Lin Xueyi. However, her role had been reduced by half now. It was impossible for her to be treated so well by Ye Weiyin as before.

Lin Xueyi reminded Lin Wanli worriedly, “Wanli, this Aunt Meng is a little dangerous.”

“Mom, in order not to be in danger, I turned myself into the greatest danger.” Because only by doing so would she be fearless.

Lin Xueyi wanted to say something more, but she felt that the words had lost their weight.

After their conversation about Huo Jiuxiao was interrupted, they didn’t talk about it anymore.

Lin Wanli didn’t want to speak for Huo Jiuxiao. After all, Lin Xueyi had heard enough from Qin Huaijing, which made her even more worried.

Moreover, with Master Xiao’s personality, it was impossible for him to become the favored son-in-law in Lin Xueyi’s eyes. Therefore, Lin Wanli felt that it was better to let nature take its course and not talk about him so highly.

However, she couldn’t help but feel disappointed. Therefore, Lin Wanli opened the H app. She realized that there was an additional function to record her mood.

Looking closely, she was linked to Huo Jiuxiao, and there was a notification when the person linked to her posted something.

Two hours ago, a certain someone had gone online and sent a photo of a lush forest with a red sunset.

After Lin Wanli took a closer look, she felt that this photo was meaningless because Master Xiao was not the kind of person who was willing to share his feelings. Therefore, the most likely reason for this photo was that he was testing the function.

Then, Lin Wanli posted, “My mother asked why Huo Jiuxiao didn’t contact me for two days. Is there something wrong with our marriage? I don’t know how to answer her. ”

That was because the app belonged to both her and Huo Jiuxiao, so he would definitely see what she posted.

This was different from WeChat. This kind of tactic made Lin Wanli feel childish, but she also hoped that Master Xiao would respond. However, after twenty minutes, Lin Wanli did not receive any reply.

How could a person who had no passion for life give her a reply?

This was just her wishful thinking.

In the chairman’s office of the Lin Group.

Ye Zhenzhen stood in front of Old Madam Lin with a smile on her face. She did not expect that she would benefit after Qin Huaijing was dragged down from his position by Lin Wanli. Was Lin Wanli doing a favor for her?

“Grandma, don’t worry. I won’t let you down,” said Ye Zhenzhen as she held the appointment document.

“Grandma has watched you grow up. I know very well how capable you are. Do well. The future of the Lin Group is in your hands.” Old Madam Lin expressed her opinion directly. “Congratulations, Vice President Ye…”

“Congratulations…”

The other employees in the office also sent their congratulations.

“Thank you. By the way, Grandma, I saw Lin Wanli this morning. She wants to bring forward the deadline of the bet and double the bet. What do you think? But I just received the news that the Yue family has sued Lin Wanli.” Ye Zhenzhen did not forget about the important matter. Because of the contradiction, she could not understand what Lin Wanli was planning. Why did she increase the bet when she was bound to lose?

“The longer this drags on, the uglier it will be for her and the Yue Group. Of course, she has to stop her losses in time.” Old Madam Lin snorted coldly, “Since she wants to embarrass herself so badly, let’s fulfill her wish. We shall see her at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce the day after tomorrow.” “But what if she tries something else?”

“Since the bet has doubled, then not only will she be kicked out of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but I will also kick her out of Jinchuan!” Old Madam Lin said emotionlessly, “Also, the Lin family’s matter has become like this. You and your mother should stay away so both of you don’t get affected by it.” “But how can Godmother live without us?”

“I don’t care, what do you care about? Moreover, the Lin family’s downfall was caused by Lin Wanli. It has nothing to do with you.”

Old Madam Lin was right, but what Lin Wanli wanted wasn’t just the destruction of the Lin family..
