"Yes, I've already gotten the thing. I also know what happened to my mother's inheritance." Zhao Yilin quickly crossed the street. It was the evening rush hour, and the cars on the street were so long that it was impossible to see where they were heading.
The green light flashed, and the crowd of pedestrians began to move towards the other side of the road.
Zhao Yilan's figure stood out in the crowd. Her pace was neither fast nor slow, and her expression was calm. She looked like one of the few people who were strolling in a bustling city.
"That's good. I was walking around the hotel today and was worried that things might not go well for you." Fang Xinying paused for a moment, then said with embarrassment, "Just now, Lin Xiao called me."
"Oh?" Zhao Yilin raised her eyebrows and asked with a wry smile, "What did you two say?"
"He didn't say anything. He already finished what he had to do and said he would come to the capital to see us tomorrow."
Zhao Yilin jumped onto the side of the road and said with a smile, "Are you looking at us or someone else?"
"Irene, you are not allowed to brag. "I didn't tease you when you and Huo Yelin were getting tired of each other, so don't provoke me now, or else …"
Zhao Yilin didn't care about that. She spoke into the phone fearlessly, using a high pitch tone, "What else can I do? You want Lord Lin Xiao to bully me?"
"Zhao Yilin!" "Don't think that I can't cure you just because you're on the phone. If you have the ability, don't come back!"
"No, I'm going back. Do you think I should give the bed to Lin Xiao?"
Fang Xinying was angered to the point that she couldn't speak wittily. She could only change the topic, "Stop fooling around. Let me tell you something serious. Should we tell Lin Xiao about the inheritance? Don't tell me that when we go out, we have to deliberately stop him from following us? "
"Well, that's a problem."
At this moment, a taxi arrived. Zhao Yilin quickly reached out for a taxi. "As long as Lin Xiao swears that he won't tell Huo Yelin, I'll bring him along."
Fang Xinying: "..."
A man in courtship is the most diligent.
Lin Xiao interpreted this sentence perfectly. He decided to set the meeting for the second day to tonight. At around 10 pm, he took a taxi from Osaka to the capital and gave Fang Xinying a big surplice.
Hearing that she wanted to travel with them, Lin Xiao swore a curse and looked at Zhao Yilin warily, "Where do you want to sell me?"
Zhao Yilin held the sleeve of his T-shirt and slipped his arm through hers. "With just a tael of meat like this, you can sell it for a few coins. That's more like it."
Lin Xiao refused to accept this and shook off her hand, "Don't blow it, why don't you try and sell it to him? In the end, they didn't sell you, so he sold you first. "
Zhao Yilin was at a loss for words. Fang Xinying smiled, "It's useless for you to interfere. If you want to follow us, you have to swear not to tell Huo Yelin our whereabouts and purpose."
Lin Xiao leaned against the wooden chair, his fist pressed against his lips as he thought, "It's not a dangerous matter?"
Zhao Yilin shook her head. "It's not dangerous."
"Not a crime?"
Fang Xinying nodded, "Definitely not."
"Sure, no matter what it is, it's better to have a man like me with you." Lin Xiao happily agreed. He even raised his hand in a decent manner as he swore. This caused Fang Xinying to cover her mouth and laugh, her face turning red.
After Lin Xiao heard what had happened, he looked at the map and the diary in his hands and said, "Is there anything that's difficult to explain?"
Zhao Yelin sat on the sofa beside the tea table, carefully arranging the information into her file. "If the inheritance left behind by Mom can be exchanged for the ownership of the Zhao Corporation, then I'll give my share to Ye Lin. This way, he'll be able to successfully become chairman, and my Dad and the others won't be able to threaten him."
Lin Xiao understood, "So that's how it is. Indeed, with his temper, if he knew that he was going to be helped by a woman, he would probably jump the Huangpu river."
Fang Xinying was shocked, "Is it that exaggerated?"
"I'm not joking." Lin Xiao helplessly said, "When he was eight, he promised his neighbor's girl to teach his sister a lesson. In the end, not only did he not beat her up, he was even saved by her. From then on, he never went to his neighbor's door again."
"I didn't expect him to be so cute and loyal when he was young."
Lin Xiao said, "Yes, he's cute. When he grows up, he becomes a Sparta."
Zhao Yelin and Fang Xinying were amused by his expression, but then the phone rang. She saw that it was Huo Yelin on the phone and held back her laughter to signal them not to laugh.
"Hey, Ye Lin …" Yeah, I enjoyed myself today … Lin Xiao also came, and he will be with us for the next few days. Un, don't worry … What? "Talking to Lin Xiao?"
Zhao Yilin handed the phone to Lin Xiao, signalling him not to speak any nonsense. Lin Xiao made an 'OK' gesture.
As expected, Lin Xiao didn't say anything extra. Zhao Yilin took the phone and patted his shoulder, saying, "You did well. I can let Fang Xinying talk to you alone for a hundred yuan."
Fang Xinying blushed, and said angrily: "Who let you make the decision for me."
Zhao Yilin didn't pay any attention to her. He extended his hand towards Lin Xiao, who obediently took out his wallet and handed a hundred yuan to Fang Xinying. "Thank you, Madam!"
Fang Xinying seemed to want to punch her, but Zhao Yilin avoided it quickly, picked up the folder on the sofa, and left the room.
Once the door closed, the smile on Zhao Yilin's face faded. She walked towards the elevator with heavy steps and pressed the button for the 18th floor. She planned to go to the coffee shop to summarize what she had heard.
Sitting in her seat, she took out a blue-bound notebook and opened it to a new page. The first line read: "Not only did Mother know the news of her imminent death in advance, but she even asked her friend, Mr. Tanaka, to protect their friendship with his life. It is evident that Mother must have suffered a great blow and threat that forced her to venture to Japan and leave behind the only thing that could give me hope and happiness."
Zhao Yilin bit her lips, tears streaming down her face. She printed circles on the paper, each of which contained her mother's few memories of her life.
Aunt Cheng Siyuan said that half a year ago, my mother received a phone call from her, and she was crying so hard that she couldn't even speak, until at last there was a scream from a strange woman on the other end of the line and my mother whispered, 'She's a devil!'" "Then he hung up.
"Devil." She remembered the face of Bao Yanyun at Grandma's funeral. At that time, she decided to take revenge, because she knew very well that this woman was not a human, but a devil!
A steel blade slowly emerged out of the surging hatred that looked like it was about to explode. She reached out and gripped the blade in her hand, looking at the arrogant Bao Yanyun and Zhao Ran before her, and a sudden killing intent arose in her heart.
What better way to take revenge than to kill them? Zhao Yilin asked herself. The devil's laughter came from the depths of her soul.
"Ding ~!"
Zhao Yelin snapped out of her daze and opened her phone. Huo Yelin sent her a text message, "You've gone mad from playing. Have you thought of the depressed me?"
Behind the text message, there was a sticker of Huo Yelin's bare upper body. He was hugging his cat doll as he looked out the window at the view of Huo Yelin's back. He was bored to death, so he was left alone.
Zhao Yilin held her cell phone with both hands. As he continued to read, he began to laugh and cry.
Those devils were not worth it for her to give up such a beautiful love, such a lovely man.
She wiped away her tears and smiled. "To tell you the truth, who took the photo?"
The next day, Zhao Yilin and the others contacted Ichiro, the lawyer, according to the number written on the business card. They agreed to go through the formalities for the transfer of the inheritance in the afternoon.
At noon, they had lunch at a famous sushi restaurant near the hotel. Zhao Yilin received a strange call from a person who claimed to be Kawasaki Fujisawa, who said he had another inheritance from her mother and wanted to meet her.
"Mr. Fujiwara, how did you know about my visit to Japan?" Zhao Yilin asked tentatively, recalling Mr. Tanaka's warning to her.
Teng Chuan smiled. "Of course it was Tian Village who told me. We would occasionally contact each other."
Zhao Yilin's heart skipped a beat. She pondered for a moment and decided to meet with Fujino Masayoshi in Osaka in two days.
Fang Xinying asked, "Why do you look so pale?"
"It's a call from Fujikawa," Zhao said. "He asked me to meet him and said that he would return the estate to me."
Lin Xiao said, "It seems like there really is something wrong with this Fujitsu."
Fang Xinying said: "Although I think so too, isn't Tian Village a problem to warn Zhao Yilin in advance? If he really was the one to notify Teng Chuan, what should we do? "
Zhao Yilin felt goosebumps rising all over her body. "What you said might be true. If that's the case, then the news of me coming to Japan to find the inheritance would have long been leaked out."
"Who else knew you came to Japan?" Lin Xiao asked.
"There are a lot of people who know, but only the three of us know that I've come to find the inheritance."
Fang Xinying shook her head and said, "This clue is useless. Those who know that you've come to Japan will definitely think about it and prepare in advance."
Zhao Yilin sounded helpless. "What should we do next?" It would be better to give up on Teng Chuan. "
Lin Xiao said, "First, we can take a look at what Tian Village has given you."
Zhao Yilin had imagined what her mother's inheritance would be like. To be direct with it, what would be a large amount of money or stock? To put it more indirectly, a very beautiful house, gold and silver?
But to her knowledge of her mother, none of this was true.
Therefore, she became increasingly curious. Her hands couldn't help but tremble when she received the documents handed over by the village lawyer.
The lawyer of the village sat behind his desk and looked at them with a smile that was not a smile. He seemed to know what was inside the document.
Lin Xiao and Fang Xinying sat on either side of her. Their curiosity was no less than hers, so they could not help but lean over.
Zhao Yilin took a deep breath and untied the string. She took out a thick stack of documents, which contained a set of photos.
Wu Yali, dressed in a sky-blue dress, was standing in the middle of a fiery rose garden. She opened her arms to embrace the sun, a dazzling smile on her face.
Zhao Yilin had seen many pictures of her mother, but most of them were the same as when she was married. They were simple and dignified, with a reserved smile on their faces.
But this picture of her, so young, vigorous, unrestrained.
"Mother? She's so young, so flamboyant, so different from what I remember her to be. "
