Everyone in the circle knew that Ye Weiyin had knelt down to Lin Xueyi and begged for forgiveness. This also meant that the Ye family’s mother and daughter would have to behave themselves in front Lin family’s mother and daughter. Furthermore, the Lin family had already released news that Old Madam Lin would definitely let Lin Wanli take over the position of heir for the long-term development of the Lin Group. This also meant that the benefits of the marriage between the Zhou and Lin families would be minimal.

If the Lin Group was under Lin Wanli’s control in the future, then the Zhou Group would have to survive in the cracks.

But did the Zhou family have a way to avoid that?

Lin Wanli had taken away their biggest business partner with just one sentence. What could they use to fight with Lin Wanli now?

At this point, Zhou Tingyang could not understand Lin Wanli anymore.

Didn’t she only want to take revenge on the Ye family’s mother and daughter?

Why was the Zhou Group implicated?

Zhou Tingyang would probably never get an answer in his lifetime because he never considered himself as a reason. Because of Father Zhou’s emotional manipulation, he felt that the whole world had let him down. He felt that his life was a joke, a tool for the Zhou Group to stabilize their position.

Therefore, no matter how much pressure Father Zhou had put on him, he had to take it back from others. In the past, he still had Ye Zhenzhen’s so-called ‘true love’, but from now on, he would not be manipulated by others. He would not be as useless as before!

It was an eventful day. When Master Xiao came home from work, he saw his wife on the phone with another man in the garden.

“Yi An bragged, and Vice-Chairman Lin actually managed to get Huo Jiuxiao. Do you know how many calls I received in one night?” Secretary Tao complained about his overtime.

“Why are you complaining when business knocks on your door, Secretary General Tao?”

“I don’t have three heads and six arms, so I can’t keep up with all this. But…I’m just gossiping on behalf of Mingsha. How did you deal with Huo Jiuxiao?” Secretary Tao asked over the phone.

When Lin Wanli heard this question, she smiled and replied, “With my beauty and sexual appeal. Do you believe that?”

“Alright, you’re not that kind of person.”

Lin Wanli wanted to answer that she was really such a person. However, at this moment, someone suddenly lifted her up from the rattan chair.

Lin Wanli could not help but exclaim.

“Did I indulge you too much, my little sweet wife?”

Master Xiao’s unhappy voice rang in Lin Wanli’s ears and also in Secretary General Tao’s phone.

“Wanli, who are you talking to? Your husband? Why does his voice sound so familiar?”

Lin Wanli was carried away by him, but she didn’t hang up. She just smiled and replied, “You’ve seen him before.”

“When have I seen your husband?” Secretary General Tao was puzzled.

“During Old Madam Lin’s birthday banquet.” Lin Wanli hinted at him again.

This voice, this tone, Secretary General Tao’s memory suddenly returned to that night, when he recklessly went forward to plead for Lin Wanli.

“Coincidentally, his surname is Huo.” After saying that, Lin Wanli hung up the phone and looked at Master Xiao innocently. She blinked her eyes and said, [I’ve been spreading news of our relationship everywhere. How could you be overindulging me?]

Back in the bedroom, Huo Jiuxiao placed Lin Wanli on the dressing table, shackled her between his arms, bent over, and pressed his nose against hers. His voice was hoarse and bewitching as he murmured, “It’s really boring to go to work. It’s even more boring to watch a group of men train.”

[Then what isn’t boring?]

“Kissing you, admiring you, and seeing your reaction.”As soon as he finished speaking, the man was about to kiss her when Aunt Qi chased little Youran and went into their bedroom.

The little squirt ran all the way to her father’s feet and hugged Huo Jiuxiao’s calf.

“I’m sorry, Sir, Madam. I took my eyes off her for a bit.” Aunt Qi said awkwardly.

Huo Jiuxiao looked down at Youran’s little black head. He wanted to drag the little thing out of the bedroom, but Lin Wanli had already pushed him away and jumped down from the dressing table. She squatted down to carry her daughter and answered Aunt Qi, “It’s okay. Seventh Aunt, you can go out.

Youran will sleep with us tonight.”

“Who agreed to that?” Yama was very unhappy.

[I’ll help you practice abstinence. It’ll hurt your body if we do it every night.]

After saying that, Lin Wanli carried little Youran to the bathroom to wash up.

On the other side, Secretary General Tao was still shocked by Lin Wanli’s answer.

Who would have thought?

Back then, at Old Madam Lin’s birthday banquet, Lin Wanli had said that she had a collaboration with Huo Jiuxiao. He had believed her with a straight face, but what happened in the end? Aren’t these two going too far? Even though Ming Sha had gone to France and stayed at Lin Wanli’s house many times, she didn’t know that Huo Jiuxiao was Lin Wanli’s husband.

Lin Wanli was so fierce when it came to finding a man. She found a man who liked to stuff people into the sewers. It seemed that in the future, other than during working hours, he should try to contact Mrs. Huo as little as possible to avoid getting himself into trouble.

With this collaboration with Yi An, Lin Wanli’s popularity in Jinchuan rose to another level. Old Madam Lin was also more and more fascinated by Lin Wanli’s ability.

In the evening, behind Ye Weiyin and her daughter’s back, she asked the people from the HR department to secretly go to various departments to do some research. Based on the employees’ attitude, they were very optimistic about Lin Wanli’s management of the Lin Group because they knew very well who was nothing but a pretty face and who was a professional.

The Old Madam was secretly delighted. It seemed that she had taken the wrong path from the beginning.

For this reason, she couldn’t wait to throw out her most ‘superior’ conditions and grab Lin Wanli in her hands. Her hatred due to her son’s death could be kept at the bottom of her heart, but the development of the Lin Group was of utmost importance.

She thought that the mother and daughter of the Ye family did not know about her research. In fact, Ye Weiyin had many spies in the Lin Group. These informants had already told Ye Weiyin everything about the Old Madam.

“Mom, Grandma really values Lin Wanli’s ability, right? Are we really going to give up the territory that we’ve worked so hard for so many years?” Ye Zhenzhen felt very uncomfortable.

It was not only because Lin Wanli was liked by so many people, but also because of Old Madam Lin’s attitude of putting interests above all else, making It seem as sne could really aDanaon tnem at will.

“So what? What can you do about it?” Ye Weiyin asked her, “Not only do we want the company, but we also want the Lin family’s villa, and it’s best if everyone knows that we’ve been banished to the cold palace. This way, you would have a chance to catch your breath, and Lin Wanli would have a chance to make a mistake. Wasn’t she trying to prove herself these past two years? If you let her get what she wants and let her fall from the top, then it will be our world!”

“Let her be proud and complacent.’

Ye Zhenzhen was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.

This was because she had not won a single match against Lin Wanli. Hiding one’s strength and biding one’s time now was also for the sake of a happy future.

Unfortunately, they had misjudged the current situation.

“Tomorrow, cooperate with your grandmother to persuade Lin Wanli to come home. When the time comes, show your sincerity when you apologize. Don’t disappoint your grandmother again..”
