Zhao Yelin suddenly became depressed. The future that Huo Yelin was going to face was not something that she could help with.

Huo Yelin noticed the change in her expression, "What's wrong?" Are you angry? "

"No, I just feel like I'm very useless and I can't help you with anything. What you said on the plane was right. Men should look for women who are intelligent and helpful to their careers. "

Huo Yelin acknowledged, "You're still lacking in this area."

Zhao Yilin lowered her head in shock.

Huo Yelin looked at her with a smile in his eyes, deliberately adding fuel to the fire. "I invested 100 million into Lilith. She helped me earn 500 million. She can be considered quite a smart woman."

Zhao Yilin's heart sank. She felt that her soul had fallen to the bottom of the valley and was about to fall to her death.

Lilith was simply a nightmare to her. Every time Huo Yelin lifted her hand, whether intentionally or not, he would stab her in the chest.

Huo Yelin couldn't bear to tease her anymore and wanted to console her.

Zhao Yilin suddenly raised her head and stared at him with teary eyes, saying, "So what!?" "Don't tell me that in your eyes, the money she earns is worth more than the money I give you?"

Huo Yelin felt a chill in his heart, "No, that's not what I meant."

"What does that mean!" Zhao Yilin clenched her fists and said harshly, "I am what I am, even if I am not smart enough or beautiful enough!" You are not allowed to compare me to others! "If you think she's good, you can …"

Huo Yelin pulled her into his embrace, using his lips to block the words that she wanted to say. At the same time, he gently caressed her as if he was trying to curry favor with her, as if he was admitting his wrongs.

Zhao Yilin was so angry that she felt wronged and wronged. She pounded on his shoulder and chest. Huo Yelin did not stop her and allowed her to beat him up.

"Eli, I was wrong."

He apologized carefully, afraid that she would not forgive him.

Zhao Yilin glared at him, not intending to forgive him at all.

"I'm sorry, forgive me."

Zhao Yelin did not look at him. Instead, she turned her head to look out the window. Huo Yelin gently turned her face away, then turned away. For a long time, the two were in a stalemate.

It was the first time that Huo Yelin had seen her look so angry. Instead, he felt an itch in his heart.

"Eli, tell me, how can I apologize to you?"

Zhao Yilin sneered and came up with a good idea.

That night, the servants in the Huo family mansion were exceptionally careful when they went in and out of the house. Their footsteps were as light as a cat's pace, afraid that Huo Yelin, who was kneeling in the living room, would notice their presence.

Huo Yelin was kneeling on the washboard with a serious look on his face. Zhao Yelin was sitting on the sofa, eating blueberries one after another. Soon, the pot was half full.

Huo Yelin said, "If you eat less, you'll get diarrhea."

Zhao Yilin glared at him. "Leave me alone!"

Although Huo Yelin was being punished, his back was very straight. He looked like an ancient soldier who was enduring humiliation.

He said very naturally, "Although I've been punished, but as your boyfriend, I still have the right to control you."

Zhao Yilin was no longer angry. She wanted to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson after he got used to all the shouting. "Then I'll strip you of your political rights."

"Impossible!" Huo Yelin said very seriously, "The position and power of my family's head is something that I bring back after I die. No one has the right to take it away from me."

His words were sonorous and forceful. In fact, Zhao Yilin's heart was filled with admiration for his daughter.

"Then here you are, don't you think I have any rights as a wife?"

Huo Yelin said, "Of course there is. The right to punish, the right to squander and the right to act coquettishly."

The grievance in Zhao Yilin's heart disappeared as soon as she heard that. She glanced at the wooden washboard. The sawteeth on it looked sharp, and it must have hurt her knees.

"Forget it, get up. My lord is magnanimous. I'll let you off this time, if there's a next time!"

Huo Yelin answered, "There definitely won't be a next time."

Zhao Yilin nodded in satisfaction and went to help him.

Although he looked calm and composed, as if nothing serious had happened, when he stood up, his body was stretched taut. He must be in great pain.

Zhao Yilin was blaming herself for punishing him in such a way. What would happen if his muscles and bones were injured?

Huo Yelin sat on the sofa.

Zhao Yilin asked the servant to bring the medicine box over and carefully apply the medicine.

Huo Yelin rested one of his legs on the tea table, leaning against the sofa and watching the television in satisfaction. Zhao Yelin, on the other hand, had been focused on applying the medicine.

The servants in the room looked at the two of them strangely, wondering why they had turned the tables.

When the medicine was done, Zhao Yilin put the box away and sat down obediently on his shoulder.

Huo Yelin said, "I forgot to remind you in the company today."

Zhao Yilin raised her head and looked at him.

"Remember to go to the company tomorrow and pay me back all the money you owe me."

Zhao Yilin: "…"

The next day, after long consideration at home, Zhao Yilin decided to cancel the plan to sell the Rose Manor.

She felt that Huo Yelin wasn't trying to be brave, and it wasn't just out of pride that he didn't appreciate her kindness.

After all, this was related to their future.

Even if something did happen, he could use the money left behind by his mother to live a happy and peaceful life with him.

She told Fang Xinying about this idea, expressing her agreement, "This is equivalent to Huo Yelin going up front to fight a war with the Chou family. If you were to secretly help him, even if he won in the end, he would definitely not be grateful to you. It's the same for anyone else. "

"Fine," said Zhao Yilin, "since you agreed, I'll cancel the sales information in the afternoon."

Today was the weekend. At the most famous law firm in the city, there were a lot of guests who came to handle the business. They came from all walks of life, but most of them were rich and powerful.

Zhao Yilin finished her business and hurried along the corridor to the elevator. She was wearing a dark flowered black dress, dark glasses, and a straw hat, and no one recognized her on the way.

She stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor. As the doors closed, a soft voice said, "Elaine, what a coincidence."

Zhao Yilin turned around and saw that Lilith's face was still as beautiful as ever through her black glasses. She tilted her head and greeted him with a smile.

Zhao Yilin pursed her lips and said, "What a coincidence."

Lilith didn't seem to notice her awkwardness and continued, "If I knew you were coming here for some business, I would have come with you. I was always recognized along the way. Signing for a photo is too troublesome."

Zhao Yilin glanced at her and said, "Why don't you disguise yourself a bit?"

Lilith was dressed in a white miniskirt, a white suit jacket and blue-black sunglasses, as if she were telling the world she was a star.

Lilith said: "I usually go abroad, where people rarely chase after the stars. Besides, didn't celebrities need twenty-four hours to make others see their own appearance as beautiful? "

Zhao Yilin looked at her reflection in the elevator and smiled wryly. "You're a good star. Ye Lin has good taste."

When the elevator reached the first floor, Zhao Yilin politely said goodbye to her. Lilith said softly, "Are you going for a cup of coffee with me?"

"No," said Zhao Yilin.

Lilith followed her steadily, and the two of them went out of the door one after another.

Zhao Yilin's car was parked by the roadside. The driver saw her get out of the car and opened the door for her.

"Kern is very good to you," said Lilith.

"You don't need to tell me that," said Zhao Yilin. She quickened her pace, wanting to get in the car to get rid of the follower. She did not expect that when she reached the front of the car to get in, not only did Lilith not leave, but she nodded humbly at the driver, who seemed to know her, and nodded and said, "Hello, Miss Lilith."

Zhao Yelin felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. It seemed like Huo Yelin had used this car to pick Lilith up before.

"Eli, can I go back with you?"

"Huh?" Zhao Yilin stared at her in shock, like she was looking at a prehistoric monster.

Lilith said, "A few days ago, I made an appointment with Yelin to go to the villa to see him, but I haven't found the time to do so. I just happen to have some free time today. I'll go back with you."

Zhao Yilin was so angry that she started laughing. Lilith really was a complete b * tch. If Zhao Yueran knew what was bad, then she would be a wimp. Her laughter was harmless, but her words could poison people to death.

The word she used was' go back ', as if she came from the same place as Zhao Yilin.

Zhao Yilin thought about it and said with a smile, "Since you guys agreed on this matter in advance, let's get in the car."

She smiled and gave Huo Yelin a call in front of Lilith, "Ye Lin, Lilith wants to come to our villa to see you, hm?" Yeah, she said you all made an appointment … Well, come back to the BLACKDOG dessert shop with some cheese cake... "Un, that's all. Good luck. See you tonight."

She hung up and said to Lilith, "He said he'd be back late tonight. Let's eat first. Don't wait for him."

"Alright."

As the white Bentley sped along the road, and Lilith didn't say anything, Zhao Yilin felt that she didn't need to deliberately find a topic to talk to a woman who wanted to steal her husband.

Just as the car entered the villa, Lilith sighed emotionally and said, "This place is still the same as before."

Zhao Yilin raised her eyebrows. "It was built at the beginning of the twentieth century. It hasn't changed much."

Lilith covered her mouth and laughed, but said nothing.

Everything went as Zhao Yilin had expected. All the servants knew her and they were on good terms with her. Some of them even came up to greet her.

Looking at how casually she was sitting on the sofa, Zhao Yilin suddenly thought of her mother. Wasn't that the same scene when Bao Yanyun first visited her home?

She decided to let go of the anger in her heart. Since she couldn't avoid it, she would go through all the difficulties and do her best to prevent her future self from regretting it.

Huo Yelin was her man. This was her home.

After a struggle, Zhao Yilin poured her a cup of coffee and said, "It's still early, let's watch TV. Or tell me about you and his past? "

Lilith looked at her, her eyes clear and sharp, as if accepting her challenge. "Well, I'd like to hear what happened between you and him, too."

When Zhao Yelin tried to understand Huo Yelin's past through Lilith, she realized that there was no need for her to be jealous or afraid. This was because the Huo Yelin that Lilith knew was not the real him, but was wearing a mask on Huo Yelin's body, a suit of armor.

As Lilith spoke, he noticed that Zhao Yilin was not angry. Instead, she was even calmer and gentler with a hint of unfathomable smile in her eyes. She couldn't help but stop and asked, "Are you pitying me in your heart?"
