“Where are they?” Fu Hongsheng asked.
“Please follow me.” The waiter brought Fu Hongsheng out of Changsheng Hall and into Yuebo’s private room. However, besides Lin Wanli and Ruijing Tongla, there was no sign of Old Madam Yue and Lin Xueyi.
“Are you sure you just want to stand there and be a guard for the door?” Lin Wanli asked Fu Hongsheng.
“Why did you help me?” Fu Hongsheng asked with red eyes, “Is it pity? Or sarcasm? Moreover, wasn’t it all your fault that I ended up in this state? Lin Wanli, what are you trying to do?”
“I’m just curious. How much love does a young master from a wealthy family lack for him to believe Nan Xing’s false oath?”
“What do you know? You’re not an illegitimate child. You don’t know the pain of being pointed at, ignored, and looked down upon.” Fu Hongsheng mocked himself, “No one admires me, no one acknowledges me, only she…”
“I don’t understand. Were you the one who was ignored by the Lin family for twenty years?” Lin Wanli held her teacup and smiled sarcastically. She said, “Fu Hongsheng, you’re already much luckier than me. Sometimes, the human
neart snould De seen witn tne eyes, not witn words. some people seem to De hurting you but think about it carefully. Which illegitimate child is like you, enjoying all the treatment of a legitimate child in the Yue Group?”
‘You think she’s ignoring you, but if she treats you equally, then the Yue Group’s legitimate children would have long seen you as a thorn in their side. Do you think you can still stand here and date a female university student safely?”
“You can’t change your birth, and neither can Old Madam Yue. You’ve underestimated the internal strife of wealthy families. Even someone as powerful as Huo Jiuxiao would have his life hanging by a thread because of the Huo family. Why do you think you’ve been safe and sound for so many years?” “Fu Hongsheng, use your brain and your heart to think about it.”
“When Old Madam Yue left just now, although she didn’t say anything, her eyes were very red. She personally cut off her family ties with you. No one is more hurt than she is. But she knew that if she didn’t do this, Nan Xing would eventually destroy you completely.”
“That’s all I have to say.”
At this moment, Fu Hongsheng still couldn’t fully understand Lin Wanli’s words because he was too confused and had suffered too much. However, deep in his heart, he knew that what Lin Wanli said was right.
Fu Hongsheng didn’t know what to do. He felt that he should find a place to calm down and think clearly.
So, he turned around and wanted to leave. However, he was stopped by Lin Wanli.
“I have another thing to say. Whether you can become the real grandson in the old madam’s heart depends on your character and ability, not just your bloodline. Before you want others to respect you, you have to learn to respect yourself.”
Fu Hongsheng stopped for a few seconds after he heard her words. Then, he left.
Lin Wanli looked in the direction that Fu Hongsheng left and sighed. She only hoped that her painstaking efforts were not in vain.
“Wanli, he threatened you like that just now and you were still willing to help him. If it was me, I wouldnt care if he died.” Rui Jing mumbled as she ate the chicken wings.
“That depends on whether this person can be saved or not.” Lin Wanli said calmly.
“Nan Xing really opened my eyes tonight. I really thought that if she admitted her mistake, I might let her go. But seeing how unrepentant she is, I don’t think I should do such a good deed.” Tong La was still shocked by Nan Xing’s reaction. The whole night was full of ups and downs, and she almost turned the situation around several times. If Lin Wanli had not planned ahead, Nan Xing would have succeeded.
“I’m afraid she can’t stay in Huamei anymore, right?” Rui Jing asked curiously.
“Not necessarily.” Tong La shook her head and said, “Didn’t you see the way she picked up the money? As long as she has a sense of shame, she wouldn’t do such a thing. I guess she can pretend that nothing happened and go to work as usual. Wanli, would Nan Xing be desperate?”
“She has already bitten me once. Do you think I will give her a chance?” Lin Wanli raised her eyes, her eyes were sharp. She said, “Tomorrow you will demand justice for yourself as usual. The follow-up matters will be handed over to me.”
“Let’s go back too. Maybe we can watch another good show when we go back.”
After Tong La finished speaking, she packed her bag. Rui Jing also picked up her bag with a chicken drumstick in her mouth. The three of them stood up and left the private room together. However, Tong La and Rui Jing had just popped their head out of the room before they shrank back into the room again. This was because they saw a tall figure with a natural murderous aura coming from the corridor.
In an instant, Tong La and Rui Jing’s breathing stopped because they had never seen Jinchuan’s living King of Hell so closely. At this moment, only one sentence flashed across their minds.
‘Passing by shouldn’t be illegal, right? You’re not going to throw us into the sewers, are you?’
“Why aren’t you going out?” Lin Wanli asked suspiciously.
“Shh! Huo Jiuxiao! Huo Jiuxiao is outside.” Rui Jing lowered her voice as if she was afraid of disturbing the devil. She said, “We’ll go out after he leaves. If we bump into him and he’s in a bad mood… Then we might be thrown into the sewers.”
“How can he be that scary?” Lin Wanli frowned.
“How is he not scary? Is there anyone in Jinchuan who wasn’t afraid of him? He might really kill you.”
Lin Wanli shook her head. She was speechless about the rumors. Then, she squeezed through the gap between the two of them.
“Wanli, do you want to die?”
Rui Jing blamed herself for not being able to grab Lin Wanli because Huo Jiuxiao had already walked up to them. But just as their hearts were about to stop beating, Huo Jiuxiao stopped in front of Lin Wanli and asked, “Is it not over yet?”
“Go back to the room and wait for me for a few minutes. I’ll be done soon.”Lin
Wanli held his hand and comforted him.
Master Xiao frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction.
Lin Wanli received the signal and immediately turned to Tong La and Rui Jing. She said, “I’m sorry, I forgot to introduce him. This is Huo Jiuxiao, my husband.’
Tong La and Rui Jing were speechless.
“These two are my university roommates.”
“He-Hello.” Rui Jing and Tong La braced themselves and greeted Huo Jiuxiao.
“Hello.” Huo Jiuxiao glanced at Lin Wanli again and said, “I’ll give you another five minutes.”
[Master Xiao, enough is enough. They’re scared out of their wits.] Lin Wanli looked at Huo Jiuxiao resentfully.
Huo Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to leave.
After his figure disappeared, Rui Jing finally dared to say, “Am I seeing things?” “Probably not.” Lin Wanli replied with a smile.
“Oh my god, Lin Wanli! Do you know that I was almost scared to death just now? You actually married the legend of the sewers? To be honest, he is the most handsome man I have ever seen. He is really amazing.” Rui Jing started to shake Lin Wanli and said, “How many big shots did you pull over to watch the show tonight? Tell me at once. I don’t want to be provoked again.”
“Wanli, are you and Huo Jiuxiao really husband and wife?” Tong La had just recovered from her shock..
