Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Everyone immediately realized what Lin Wanli was referring to.
She was referring to Ye Zhenzhen kneeling down and apologizing!
Everyone’s eyes were on Ye Zhenzhen. Since the Old Madam had agreed to this, there should be someone performing, right?
Ye Zhenzhen’s mind went blank as she was being targeted. She began to retreat and reject the offer.
“Zhenzhen, Wanli didn’t expose your scandal, but that doesn’t mean you’re right. Two years ago, you hurt Wanli, so now you should show that you’re admitting your mistake.” The Old Madam warned Ye Zhenzhen with a sharp gaze that she should not throw a tantrum at this time.
Ye Zhenzhen looked at the Old Madam and her tears suddenly fell. She was full of hope that the Old Madam would help her, but look at what happened now. The Old Madam was the one who wanted her to kneel down quickly.
“Miss Lin, why don’t we just forget about it? Both of you are biological sisters.
Moreover, it’s quite hurtful to our self-esteem in front of so many people.” Among the higher-ups, some people began to act as peacemakers. The main reason was that they felt that the scene was too cruel. If it was used by someone with ulterior motives, then today’s family banquet might be smeared by others.
“That’s not right. Miss Lin almost lost her reputation back then. If kneeling down and apologizing is too much, then it’s better to go to court and be sentenced.” There were also people who Objected.
“If I were Miss Ye, not only would I kneel, I would also have to kowtow. Miss Lin is letting you off just with this, isn’t this a great act of kindness?”
“If you did something wrong, you should pay the price. If you don’t want to face the price because it’s too high, then why did you have to be so ruthless back then?”
Lin Wanli did not move. She sipped her tea gracefully and looked at Ye
Zhenzhen. She commented, “If you don’t want to kneel, then don’t kneel.”
“Lin Wanli, what kind of good person are you? You want me to kneel down and admit my mistake in front of everyone? Do you want me to humiliate myself? Let me tell you, I can’t do it!” Ye Zhenzhen shouted agitatedly.
“I used to think that I was a good person, but after what happened two years ago, I’m not.” Lin Wanli still looked at her calmly and said, “You asked Nan Xing to drug me and arrange a random man for me to ‘enjoy.’ After that, you planned to catch me in the act of adultery and wanted to ruin my reputation completely. If I wasn’t so tough, I would have been criticized and trampled on by thousands of people. Do you feel wronged since I asked you to kneel before
“You don’t have any evidence. What right do you have to say that I did it? I won’t admit it even if I die!”
“Do you want me to bring Nan Xing back and announce it to everyone in
Jinchuan?” Lin Wanli asked, “Or do you think that I didn’t control the man you arrangeac ‘
Lin Wanli was annoyed, and Ye Zhenzhen was also disconcerted because she really thought that Lin Wanli had no evidence.
“Since kneeling makes you feel so wronged, fine, you don’t have to kneel anymore. I’ve already given you a way out, so shouldn’t you be tactful and get down? My temper isn’t very good right now, and it’s also very volatile. Since you’ve already made me unhappy, I don’t think there’s a need for me to show some consideration for your reputation. I think it’s better for us to go through legal means.”
After saying that, Lin Wanli instructed Yan Qiu, “Go back tonight and submit all the evidence to Lavvyer Guan. This trash has provoked me time and time again. No matter how good someone’s patience is, it will still be gone by now.” “Okay, President Lin.” Yan Qiu nodded.
The people at the scene saw that Lin Wanli did not care about her feelings at all, so they all looked at Ye Zhenzhen nervously.
Ye Zhenzhen saw that the situation was not favorable for her, so she rushed to Lin Wanli’s side and knelt down in front of her. She pleaded, “Wanli, don’t. I admit my mistake. I apologize. Don’t go through legal procedures. I’m not worthy. I really don’t deserve to waste your time.”
Lin Wanli looked ahead, unmoved.
“Wanli, on the account that we grew up together, please spare me this once. I swear to the heavens that I will really change for the better. I will definitely turn over a new leaf. Please let me go.”
Seeing this scene, everyone present sighed.
The person who was arguing just now did not care about her self-esteem anymore.
“Really, Wanli, let me go. I can be your slave for the rest of my life!”
Could Ye Zhenzhen’s words be trusted? Everyone knew very well that she couldn’t because she had no bottom line. Everything was for her own benefit.
This time, Lin Wanli finally turned her head to look at Ye Zhenzhen. She softly said, “Then be a slave for the rest of your life.”
After saying that, she looked at the Old Madam and continued, “Didn’t you ask me to take over the Lin Group? I have agreed to it, but if Ye Zhenzhen wants to stay in the Lin Group, she can only be a receptionist. If she wanted to leave the Lin Group, she would have to sever all ties with the Lin Group from now on. She would not even be able to inherit the shares and inheritance. This has to be written into the employment contract.”
“No, I don’t want to…” Ye Zhenzhen shook her head and begged, “Wanli, please let me live.”
“Then I think you’re more suited for the prison path.”
Ye Zhenzhen was stumped and could not say another word.
This time, it was time for the Old Madam to make a choice. Just like last time, she didn’t even think for a second and agreed to Lin Wanli’s condition without hesitation.
“Sure.”
Ye Zhenzhen had once again become the victim of the Old Madam’s interests.
From the Old Madam’s perspective, she did not think that Ye Zhenzhen was at a disadvantage, and Ye Zhenzhen just had to put up with working at the front desk, but the inheritance would still belong to the Ye family in the end.
Therefore, she agreed without any burden.
However, it was a devastating blow to Ye Zhenzhen.
She no longer cared about her inheritance in the future. She only wanted to be chosen by the Old Madam now, but the old lady did not even look at her.
Therefore, she stood up in despair and took two steps back. Then, she said hysterically, “I will make all of you regret it!”
After saying that, Ye Zhenzhen jumped into the pond behind her.
The guests jumped into the water to save Ye Zhenzhen. Everyone surrounded the pond. A few minutes later, Ye Zhenzhen was dragged up by a man.
However, she was still trying to kill herself and even embarrass herself. Old
Madam Lin’s face was livid, and she was so angry that she clenched her thigh.
Lin Wanli was calm and composed as if she had already expected such a good show.
After a while, she turned around and said to Ye Zhenzhen, “If I were you, I would learn to be smarter and accept everything in front of me. Then, I would keep a low profile and wait for the right opportunity.”
“Because the you today is the me from two years ago.”
“Ye Zhenzhen, you’ve been treating me as your imaginary enemy for many years. You’ve been snatching things from me. I really don’t think it’s appropriate because I’ve always thought that you’re not worthy.”
“If you kneel down today, I’ll treat it as your debt from the hotel incident has been paid off. But who knows what will happen in the future? Don’t tell me you’re going to be defeated by me for the rest of your life?”
Lin Wanli provoked her on purpose. However, it was useful because Ye Zhenzhen finally calmed down after soaking in the cold water. She knew how stupid her actions were. It was just as embarrassing as the time when she made a scene at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
At this moment, Lin Xueyi looked at Lin Wanli and felt that she couldn’t see through her daughter.
Had she become soft-hearted?
