Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After returning to Yujing Peak, Lin Wanli and Lin Xueyi went into the study room together and asked Yan Qiu to arrange for a lawyer to draft the divorce agreement.
“If we want Qin Huaijing to leave with nothing, we have to prove that he’s the one at fault. Now that there’s evidence of forging medical records, the court will favor us.” The lawyer asked Lin Xueyi, “Madam, how much do you intend to claim against Qin Huaijing for mental distress caused?”
“Five million,” said Lin Wanli directly.
After Lin Xueyi and the lavvyer heard this, they looked at Lin Wanli in shock
because the amount was too high.
“Why are you looking at me like that? I’m already very restrained. You just have to make your request according to what I said. Tell Qin Huaijing that if he can’t fork out five million, he would have to deal with the forgery of the medical records in court.” Lin Wanli was very calm because she knew that the origin of this fake medical record had nothing to do with Qin Huaijing.
As long as she and the hospital pursued the matter to the end, it was only a matter of time before the mastermind was found out. At that time, Qin Huaijing would not be the only one who would lose his reputation. Therefore, if someone cared about the matter being exposed, then that someone would pay for it. This time, Lin Wanli was definitely going to get the Ye family’s mother and daughter.
They stayed in the conference room until two or three o’clock in the afternoon. Lin Wanli thought that since Youran had woken up from her afternoon nap, she could accompany her daughter. At this time, Aunt Qi brought a basin of hot water in and placed it on the table. She said to Lin Wanli, “Madam, please wipe your face. Master Xiao told me to remind you to rest properly.”
This was Lin Xueyi’s first time learning about Huo Jiuxiao and Lin Wanli’s relationship from someone else.
Lin Wanli was shocked. Then, she thought of the sentence she left in the app and suddenly sighed inwardly. Huo Jiuxiao was like a volcano covered in ice and snow all year round. Ordinary people could not melt that ice and snow at all. However, when he occasionally woke up from his dormant state and burned her, it would make her entire body burn and she would go crazy for him without any reason.
“I understand.” Lin Wanli pretended to be calm.
Aunt Qi didn’t say anything else. She only waited for Lin Wanli to finish wiping her face before taking the towel away. It was as if this was the norm in Lin Wanli and Huo Jiuxiao’s married life.
This was probably the highest realm that they could reach…
“Rest for a while. I’ll go and see Youran.” Lin Xueyi had a change of heart. Her heart ached for Lin Wanli, who had to take care of her family and career.
Lin Wanli smiled and turned around to go to Huo Jiuxiao’s room. However, the moment she entered, she was stunned. This was because her dressing table was now in the room that had only been decorated with simple furnishings. Next to Huo Jiuxiao’s closet was her wardrobe. Aunt Qi had already moved all her things over.
Lin Wanli sat on the bed and opened the app. There was a response under her mood record and post: “Coming back alive, does that count as an answer?”
Lin Wanli replied, “Yes.”
A few seconds later, there was a reply.
“Then I’ll try my best.”
Lin Wanli hugged her phone and smiled. This was the most beautiful romantic line she had ever heard.
In the evening, Jinchuan was covered in dark clouds.
Lin Wanli and Lin Xueyi were still sorting out the agreement when Ye
Zhenzhen called them. Lin Wanli glanced at her phone and passed it to Yan Qiu. She said, “You pick it up.”
Yan Qiu nodded and accepted the call.
“Lin Wanli, your goal has been achieved. Grandma has agreed to meet you at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce the next morning. I’ll see what tricks you can play this time.” At this moment, Ye Zhenzhen sounded a little smug because she had been promoted to the position of vice president. All of this was because Lin Wanli had schemed against Qin Huaijing.
How would she know that the person who picked up the phone was not Lin Wanli?
“I will tell my young miss,” replied Yan Qiu calmly.
“Where’s Lin Wanli?” Ye Zhenzhen asked anxiously. She wanted to use this opportunity to humiliate and provoke Lin Wanli, but she did not expect that Lin Wanli would not even answer her phone.
“Miss Ye probably doesn’t know that my young miss is very busy. These types of calls from nobodies… I’ve always been the one to answer them.” After saying that, Yan Qiu hung up the phone.
Lin Wanli was looking at the divorce agreement when she heard Yan Qiu’s pretentious reply. She raised her head and gave Yan Qiu a thumbs up. After that, she returned to the terms of the divorce agreement and continued perusing it.
Ye Zhenzhen was so angry that she went crazy. She worked so hard to climb to this position. She thought that she had the ability to show off in front of Lin Wanli. However, she did not understand why she was short-sighted.
Actually, she and Qin Huaijing were the same kind of people. The more they cared about something, the more they would flaunt it. They regarded the height of this position that most people wanted to reach as their lifelong goal, but they did not know that this was only an ordinary person’s high-achieving goal. In front of truly capable people, it was not worth mentioning at all.
Her horizons determined her goal, and Ye Zhenzhen’s knowledge also determined that she would never be able to reach Lin Wanli’s position.
“There’s nothing to worry about. She’ll disappear from Jinchuan the day after tomorrow.” Ye Zhenzhen comforted herself and then drove to Lin Group to find the mole.
By the time Lin Wanli and Lin Xueyi finished arranging the agreement, it was already eight o’clock at night.
The rain outside the door had stopped, bringing with it a slight breeze and a hint of coolness.
At this moment, Lin Wanli noticed Xu Menglan’s message: “Ye Zhenzhen took
Qin Huaijing’s position and was promoted to the vice president of the Lin Group.”
After reading the message, Lin Wanli felt sorry for Ye Zhenzhen and shook her head.
“What’s wrong?” asked Lin Xueyi.
“I’m just laughing because Old Madam Lin is good at sending people to hell. She knew that I was going to send Ye Zhenzhen to hell, so she rushed to promote Ye Zhenzhen. What was the most despairing thing for a person? It was never about not being able to get it, but losing it after getting it,” replied Lin Wanli.
Lin Xueyi looked at Lin Wanli. Even though it had been two days, she was still not used to it.
In the past, although Lin Wanli was often quirky, she was lively and cheerful. She couldn’t hide anything in her heart, so she had the extroversion and coquettishness that a rich young lady should have.
However, Lin Xueyi couldn’t see through Lin Wanli at all right now.
Lin Xueyi couldn’t even tell what she was thinking or planning.
She was only in her twenties, but just sitting there quietly gave people a strong sense of security. It was as if as long as she was around, no matter what happened, she would give people endless confidence in her.
Lin Wanli suddenly raised her head and asked, “Mom, what are you looking at?” “You’re so quiet, what are you thinking about?” Lin Xueyi was curious.
“I’m making some deductions. For example, Ye Zhenzhen should be arriving at the Lin family’s residence by now. I know exactly what she is looking for, where she will go, and what she will find,” Lin Wanli replied calmly, “Thinking will keep your mind sharp.”
Because what Lin Wanli experienced was not only the scheme and betrayal from two years ago, but also the accumulated hurt from two lifetimes. In her previous life, she had experienced what it meant to have her family destroyed. She had seen the vicious face of her enemy with her own eyes. She knew the feeling of heartbreak and grief.
Therefore, she would never let her enemies off in this lifetime..
