The next day, Secretary Tao called early in the morning. His tone was not pleasant and he was in a bad mood. He said, âWhat happened? All of a sudden, since last night, the internal forum of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has been spreading rumors that youâre my mistress and even insinuating that the Chairman has a relationship with you too. Is it the Ye familyâs mother and daughter doing again?â
âWhat else? In their hearts, Iâm just a good-for-nothing who relied on men to get to where I am. Of course, my relationship with both of you would seem suspicious as well,â replied Lin Wanli.
Secretary Tao pulled his tie and said with a speechless expression, âIâve never seen such a scheming mother and daughter.â
âDid it affect your relationship with Sha Sha?â asked Lin Wanli.
âIâve already told Sha Sha about it. She wants me to bring her along to the Chinese Chamber of Commerceâs decision-making meeting tomorrow. She wants to see what the mother and daughter look like. I originally didnât want Sha Sha to get involved, but since that mother and daughter wanted to offend me, I had no choice but to show them my wifeâs power.â
Lin Wanli laughed out loud after hearing that. The Ye familyâs mother and daughter probably didnât know what kind of woman Secretary Taoâs wife, Mingsha, was. She was straightforward and vengeful. Moreover, she had a good relationship with Lin Wanli because every time Mingsha traveled to France, she would stay at Lin Wanliâs place for a few days.
The mother and daughter were dancing in the minefield repeatedly.
âAlright, bring her along with you.â
âI called to complain. After all, the people in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce know what kind of people Chairman and I are. Although they donât know you well enough, the companies you helped recently are obviously improving. They see your ability and wonât trust others easily.â Secretary Tao comforted her. It was disgusting for the Ye family to spread such rumors. He also felt that they were really tasteless and very despicable.
How could they compare Lin Wanli with such a character? How could they win?
âIâm fine with it, itâs just that the Chairman and your reputation are being tainted because of me.â After all, without her guidance, the Ye familyâs mother and daughter might not have been so immersed in her messy relationships.
âThereâs no need to be so polite between us. Iâm looking forward to tomorrowâs show. It would be even better if I could teach the Ye familyâs mother and daughter a lesson.â
At this point, Lin Wanli put down the work in her hands and replied with a chuckle, âThis game is specially designed for the Ye familyâs mother and daughter. Thereâs no need to be calculative with people who lack brain stem. Just beat them up. When the benefits are lost, the pain will come.â After hearing this, Secretary General Tao was shocked.
âIâm waiting to watch a good show.â
Lin Wanli teased, âIf you had this realization, you wouldnât have to call.â Then, the two of them ended the call.
Looking at the time, it was a little over nine oâclock. Lin Wanli finished her morning work and wanted to bring Lin Xueyi to do a makeover.
They sorted out the divorce agreement yesterday, and the lawyer had to check and supplement it today. Therefore, this agreement would only be sent to Qin Huaijing after the Chinese Chamber of Commerceâs decision-making meeting.
That was good too. A concentrated attack would make people feel despondent. It would be best if she could wait for a few days to let people feel hope. At that time, she would send them into despair. Under the fall, the pain would be a hundred times greater.
Lin Xueyi didnât want to go out at first. Firstly, her face injury hadnât recovered yet. Secondly, she had just gotten to know Youran a little better and wanted to spend more time with her granddaughter.
Lin Wanli reluctantly made a few phone calls. Then, Lin Xueyi well-known luxury brand sent ready-made clothes and bags to Yujing Peak for Lin Xueyi to choose from. There were even stylists who came to change her appearance.
When Lin Xueyi sat in front of the makeup mirror, Lin Wanli stood beside her. As she matched her clothes, she said to Lin Xueyi, âIn the future, when you go to work at the Yue Group, you canât dress as simply as before. Besides, my mother has an outstanding temperament, why canât you dress up to please yourself?â
Lin Xueyi thought about it. After taking care of the family for so many years, it had been a long time since she had lived for herself. Therefore, she did not reject the idea.
âIâll pick it myself.â
After all, the daughter of the Lin family had grown up in a wealthy family. Her upbringing was definitely not bad. The reason why Lin Xueyi was touched by the ugly duckling was because her father had died early and she had not enjoyed her motherâs love.
Now that she was awake, she could still turn back into a phoenix if she wanted to. After all, was a pearl covered in dust, not a pearl?
Ultimately, Lin Xue Yi had a haircut that turned her hair into exquisite short hair and matched it with a white professional suit. Her aura instantly rose tremendously, and there was a sharp aura on her body.
âThatâs it. Let Qin Huaijing take a good look at what a heartless person has lost. We would also let the Ye familyâs mother and daughter see what it means to be counterproductive when they blindly imitate others.â Lin Wanli patted the back of Lin Xueyiâs hand in satisfaction to encourage her mother.
âIâll pick you up after the Chinese Chamber of Commerceâs meeting tomorrow.â Lin Xueyi looked at herself in the mirror and said to Lin Wanli, âIâve just asked the makeup artist to cover up the marks on my faceâ¦â
âAlright.â Lin Wanli nodded.
Of course, she was happy that her mother was willing to take this step.
Since she had chosen to face it head-on, it was only a matter of time before she faced it head-on.
She didnât want to hide Lin Xueyi. On the contrary, she wanted her mother to vent all her anger on the three of them.
As long as it felt good, it was enough.
Logically speaking, there would be a tough battle tomorrow, and Lin Wanli should be nervous. However, Lin Xueyi realized that she seemed to be more relaxed than yesterday. Not only did she accompany her to change her image, but she also accompanied her to drink tea and chat. Therefore, the nervousness in Lin Xueyiâs heart suddenly disappeared.
How did Lin Wanli manage to gain this sense of control and stability?
At this moment, Lin Wanli could teel Lin Xueyi sizing her up. However, every time this happened, Huo Jiuxiaoâs face which had large and sharp features would appear in her mind, especially his deep eye sockets and outstanding nose bridge. All her motivation came from that person.
With this in mind, Lin Wanli logged into the app and left a word on her mood record: âMiss.â
The next second, her phone rang. However, it was not a call, but a video call request.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
When she saw Huo Jiuxiaoâs name, Lin Wanli immediately returned to her bedroom. She tidied herself up and took a deep breath before answering the video call.
Because they were too close, the video showed his face up close, so Lin Wanliâs ears were burning.
Huo Jiuxiao, on the other hand, was still as unruly as ever. He raised his eyebrows slightly. He asked, âWhat are you thinking about?â
Lin Wanli bit her lip and overcame the nervousness in her heart. She replied,
âYou. â
[I want to see the real you, I want your kiss, I want your touch, I want you to come back to my side, I want you to live long and healthy.]
It was this kind of sincere and burning emotion again. Huo Jiuxiaoâs heart was scalded for a moment. Then, his Adamâs apple bobbed as he said, âMy little wife really confesses all the time.â
âYes, I was too afraid that you would run away.â Lin Wanli nodded honestly.
âLin Wanli, you should be glad that Iâm not by your side now. Otherwise⦠Donât even think about getting out of bed tomorrow.â
Lin Wanliâs face turned even redder after Master Xiao finished speaking.
At this moment, Song Huaishu ran back from outside and stood in front of Huo Jiuxiao. Seeing him look up, he panted and said, âMaster Xiao, thereâs news about President Lu..â
