At this moment, Lin Wanli felt Lin Xueyi’s protection. She felt that she didn’t need to say anything.
“This matter is the previous generation’s matter, but it has implicated innocent descendants. For the sake of your so-called friendship, you can’t differentiate right from wrong. How great is your emotional value that you need the entire world to follow your rules?”
“Same logic! Xueyao was the one who found the mother and daughter of the Ye family, but so what? Just because Xueyao found her, could they be forgiven for murder, arson, and committing crimes? Then, my daughter was drugged in a hotel two years ago and was caught cheating. She almost lost her reputation. Should we be kind and forgive them?” At this point, Lin Xueyi was clearly agitated and almost stood up to slam the table.
“Let me tell you one last thing. It doesn’t matter if you hate me, because to me, you’re just someone I know. However, the kidney is mine. It’s up to me if I want to donate it or not. There’s nothing wrong with me taking care of myself. If you want to use this kind of moral standard to dictate what one should do, then you’re selfish and downright trash.”
“In the future, don’t use this high and mighty attitude to criticize others. I tolerate you because I’m broad-minded, but it doesn’t mean that you’re right. That’s all I have to say. I hope that we won’t meet again after today. I especially don’t want my daughter to feel that her birth is a sin. As for why that someone thinks that she, a child, is in the wrong, you should know the reason in your heart.”
After saying that, Lin Xueyi held Lin Wanli’s hand and left the café without hesitation.
Lin Wanli was pulled by Lin Xueyi, but she had a smile on her face. She said, “Mom, you protected me very well. Although it was difficult, you gave me a unique motherly love. Also, when I went missing, you never gave up on me.”
At the very least, Lin Wanli from two years ago, although she was not liked by the Old Madam, was not oppressed by these hypocritical moral standards. She did not even know the grievances and entanglements of the previous generation.
Lin Xueyi looked back at her and pulled her again. She asked, “You haven’t given up on me, have you?”
During the time when Qin Huaijing used her to sow discord, she was like a seaweed in the ocean, muddleheaded every day, not knowing where she was going. Later on, she realized that this feeling was because she was cutting off her own flesh and blood.
Lin Wanli reached out and hugged Lin Xueyi. She couldn’t help but let out a
long sigh, “Mom, you must be healthy and live a long life.”
“Child, why are you suddenly talking about this?”
Lin Xueyi didn’t understand, and Lin Wanli didn’t explain.
“Let’s go back and try on the gown with me.”
The mother and daughter drove out of the cafe, while the person who was left behind sat in his original seat without moving at all, feeling ashamed of his inferiority.
He was scolded by Lin Xueyi, but he couldn’t refute her because he knew that every single one of her accusations was correct. He looked at the mother and daughter of the Lin Family with hatred. Why would he care about the truth? Why did he not care about the truth? It was because he was unwilling to accept Lin Xueyao’s departure. He wanted to find someone to bear this responsibility and divert his pain.
Similarly, the Old Madam hated the mother and daughter because she was unwilling to admit her mistakes.
It was difficult for selfish people to reflect on themselves. Only by blaming others could they relax.
But for the Old Madam…
He seemed to have done something wrong.
On the way back to Yujing Peak, Lin Wanli told them about the trap she had set up to lure the mother and daughter of the Ye family.
“Qin Huaijing and Xu Menglan are already in position, so what they will do to frame me has no effect on me. Mom, this is what they deserve. I’m just returning the pain they once inflicted on us to them.”
“What about the Lin Group? What are your plans?” Lin Xueyi asked.
“I’ve already agreed to AFF Group’s temporary position as the president of their Asia Pacific region. France has already announced the news.”
Lin Xueyi sighed in relief, “It’s not that I don’t believe in your abilities. I just don’t want you to waste too much effort on those people who aren’t worth it.” “Mom, I understand. Don’t worry.” She had already made her own decision.
After the mother and daughter returned to Yujing Peak, Lin Xueyi helped Lin Wanli take out the gown from the box. It was rare that Ye Weiyin’s taste was actually on the line this time. It was probably because she had spent a lot of money.
The entire dress was black, and the style was cold and elegant. Long sleeves, a mid-collar, and above the chest was a black lace with a rose pattern. There was a row of diamond necklaces on the collar, and below the chest was a black silk dress with a pleated waist. It really matched Lin Wanli’s temperament.
“Was she afraid that you wouldn’t wear it, so she chose it so carefully?” Lin Xueyi was a little exasperated as she commented, “Their sincerity was used in their schemes.”
Lin Wanli took it into the changing room of the guest room. When she came out again, Lin Xueyi was indeed amazed. If she added her red lips, it would make Lin Wanli’s red mole at the lower corner of her left eye look even more seductive.
“I quite like it.”
“Then wear it like this tomorrow. Let’s check where the mother and daughter have messed with the dress. We can entertain their antics tomorrow. There’s no need to ruin the clothes.” Lin Xueyi said with satisfaction.
Lin Xueyi’s words meant that she wanted Lin Wanli to take the initiative to go to the changing room and cooperate with the mother and daughter to ‘collect evidence’ so that the mother and daughter could ‘get something on her’.
Lin Wanli turned sideways and walked around in front of the mirror. She thought that this was good too. She didn’t have to waste her time trying to match Master Xiao’s clothes anymore. After all, he had black clothes in his wardrobe. He only needed to match them with cufflinks and brooches.
While the two were trying on their clothes, Huo Jiuxiao came home from work.
Lin Xueyi was still a little scared when she saw her son-in-law. In addition, the Yue Group had a dinner party at night, so she left early.
Lin Wanli glanced at him and thought, [Master, what do you think?]
However, she didn’t get an answer. Huo Jiuxiao pulled her over and pressed her against the wall.
“It makes people want to conquer.”
Seeing that Master Xiao was about to make a move, Lin Wanli quickly stopped him, her eyes warning him.
[This is my battle robe for tomorrow. Don’t ruin it. It’s worth millions.]
Huo Jiuxiao leaned forward slightly and whispered into Lin Wanli’s ear, “I won’t touch what’s on top of you.”
Lin Wanli was very innocent. She had only tried on the clothes.
However, after she was carried back to her room to wash up, Lin Wanli sent a message to Ye Weiyin and gave her a review of the dress. It was an advance notice that she had taken a fancy to this dress.
“Thank you, Auntie. The gown is really nice.” Tomorrow’s battle would be even better..
