Chapter 200: Would You Be Disappointed?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Before I knew Zhou Tingyang’s character, I never blamed anyone. From the beginning to the end, I blamed myself. I was the one who liked someone else. I was the one who chose to take medicine. I was the one who killed my parents and caused my family to be destroyed. I never thought of taking revenge on anyone. I just blamed myself.”
“But when I found out the truth, I really couldn’t calm down. I wandered the streets for half a day because I couldn’t accept that a person could be so hostile and malicious to someone who had nothing to do with them just because I was
fat.”
After saying all this, Xiao Qinke squatted on the floor with her hands on the sofa. Her eyes were red and tears fell like rain.
“I can’t forgive myself, and I can’t forgive Zhou Tingyang. Otherwise, wouldn’t my deceased family be too pitiful? After all, Zhou Tingyang is still a handsome young man in the eyes of outsiders.”
Lin Wanli rolled her eyes after hearing that and said, “I don’t have a rose-colored filter for him. I knew he was trash from the beginning.”
From this, it could be seen that Zhou Tingyang’s disguise was indeed successful, but a person who was wicked in all matters would only harm others and himself in the end.
Xiao Qinke looked at Lin Wanli with pity and hope. She was eager to get help from Lin Wanli.
Lin Wanli took a deep breath and asked, “If you don’t have the confidence to win, why force yourself into a desperate situation?”
“I don’t have time.” Xiao Qinke emphasized, “My body will get weaker and weaker. I won’t be able to act very soon. And I have a complete plan, but the risk is too great. Now, I want to win more than anything else.”
“How do you want me to help you?” Lin Wanli asked again. Facing Xiao Qinke, she couldn’t say anything to reject her.
“My parents passed away in that car accident, but now the Zhou family suspects my financial resources and wants to see my parents. Therefore, I hope that you can help me make arrangements and prove my financial ability so that I can get a chance to kick the Zhou family out.” Xiao Qinke continued to sob, especially when she mentioned her parents. Her throat trembled as she whispered, “I can’t let my parents die in vain.”
Speaking of dying in vain, Lin Wanli thought of Lin Xueyi who committed suicide in her previous life.
Unfortunately, not everyone was so lucky.
It turned out that people really couldn’t commit evil acts. Even if it was a very minor evil deed, it could cause the destruction of other people’s families.
Lin Wanli had always believed in the cycle of cause and effect. Then, what did Zhou Tingyang have to pay for causing Xiao Qinke’s family to be destroyed?
In that case, the humiliation Ye Zhenzhen got from Zhou Tingyang was nothing.
However, since the goal was to settle the score, they would return the favor.
First, his reputation would be ruined, and then his family would be destroyed. Then, he would be able to wash away his sins.
After sending Xiao Qinke off, Lin Wanli switched to her work mode and discussed with some of AFF’s employees in the Asia Pacific region. She would find all kinds of reasons to bring the problematic employees to the office for questioning and scolding. In the end, if they were really hopeless, she would blacklist them and then fire them.
The most important thing for her now was to clean up the internal department and eliminate the hidden dangers. Only by cultivating a reliable team could she achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Therefore, AFF staff felt that Lin Wanli had been here for a few days. She seemed to have done nothing, but she also seemed to have done a lot. Many people still did not understand what tricks she was playing. Only high-level professionals could understand. This person was born to be a leader.
What ordinary office workers could see was that their benefits were slowly improving. They could see it from the office facilities, such as the pantry, coffee machine, and afternoon tea. All the things they didn’t dare to think about in the past, Lin Wanli had it done in two to three days.
She seemed to have quietly improved the areas that the employees complained about without affecting anyone. It was hard not to like such a leader.
At six o’clock in the evening, Lin Wanli got off work and was about to go home.
However, she remembered what Master Xiao had told her, so she sent Huo Jiuxiao a message: “I’ll drive there directly.”
Huo Jiuxiao sent Lin Wanli an address.
After Lin Wanli located it, she found it very familiar. When she arrived, she realized that it was Grandma Huo’s old mansion. It wasn’t because she had been here before, but because the area was close to Old Madam Lin’s old residence, so she was familiar with the place. However, the house in front of her had long been dilapidated. The plaque on the door had already turned black and moldy spots had appeared. The heels of the stone pillars had also grown moss.
Huo Jiuxiao put his arm around Lin Wanli’s shoulders and led her to the old mansion’s gate. This was a courtyard full of blooming roses. The pink flowers were blooming luxuriously. It was obvious that they relied on someone’s meticulous care. Lin Wanli was pleasantly surprised as she walked around the courtyard. It wasn’t big, but it was elegant. Lin Wanli walked around briefly and was finally brought to his childhood room by Huo Jiuxiao.
It wasn’t big, but it was filled with Huo Jiuxiao’s favorite toys when he was young.
There was a wooden bed against the wall, a desk in the middle, and finally a bookcase. There were all kinds of trophies and medals belonging to Huo Jiuxiao, as well as photos of him winning awards when he was young.
Lin Wanli held it in her hand in surprise. She realized that Master Xiao’s appearance was especially outstanding when he was young. He looked like a mixed-blood. Moreover, he had been tall since he was young. When he smiled, his eyebrows were relaxed and he looked very charming.
At that time, Master Xiao was a true prodigy.
Lin Wanli put down the photo frame and turned to look at Huo Jiuxiao.
[Since I’ve already been reborn, why can’t I be reborn to when you were young?]
Huo Jiuxiao reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist. He looked at her with a half-smile.
[Can’t 1?]
“Of course not.” Huo Jiuxiao said bluntly.
Lin Wanli wanted to push him away when she heard that. However, she heard him whisper in her ear, “Don’t you feel bad having to endure for so many years?”
This person…
Why was everything related to that matter?
Lin Wanli could not help but blush. She tiptoed and kissed him on the lips.
Huo Jiuxiao smiled and turned around to look at the row of bookshelves behind her. Then, he walked to the bookshelves and pushed them open. There was something else inside.
Many simulated weapons were hanging on the wall, which looked funny and exciting.
Like most boys, Master Xiao’s childhood was also in line with the expectations of his parents. He studied Mathematical Olympiad, piano, and etiquette, but every boy had more or less a hero complex.
“This was my study room in elementary school. It’s also the only time I’ve been happy.”
His study room in the middle school was filled with financial newspapers, medical essays, golf skills, and a ward full of hypocrisy.
That was at the Huo family’s.
The area was dozens of times larger, but there was no trace of life in it.
“It’s very ordinary.. Would you be disappointed?”
