Chapter 1371 - 1385: Deleted -
What she didn’t expect was that when she turned eighteen, Sun Xuehui still wouldn’t let her go.
Until Mu Xingfeng appeared.
She considered herself just an ordinary, pitiful soul, and if she had any merits, perhaps it was her so-called kindness.
She didn’t understand what about her made Mu Xingfeng want to see her differently and treat her differently.
But she knew that only being with him made her feel alive and like a person, not just a puppet for others to manipulate.
...
A night’s drunken stupor left Xiao Xiao’s brain temporarily blank. Opening her eyes to see the room clearly, she realized she had already returned to the Lin Family, likely brought back by Lin Junyang.
It seemed she hadn’t vomited in his car this time. She remembered well how that man fiercely threatened her, saying if she vomited in his car again, he’d throw her out.
Looks like yesterday she was really lucky.
Xiao Xiao shook her head self-deprecatingly and got out of bed.
The clothes on her had already been changed into pajamas, and she wasn’t worried at all about who might have changed her.
Pulling open the curtains, the glaring sunlight shot in, making her instinctively raise her hand to shield her eyes.
Ugh, I did wake up a bit late today; it must be past nine o’clock.
Xiao Xiao sighed inwardly, thinking it’s fortunate she’s living with the Lin Family, where Grandpa Lin and Mom Lin and Dad Lin like her so much. If they saw her being lazy all day, even without Lin Junyang saying anything, they wouldn’t accept a daughter-in-law like this, right?
Everyone in the Lin Family has good living habits and none of them are late risers.
After sighing, she laughed at herself again, pondering how someone like her could become the Lin Family’s daughter-in-law.
Looking up again, she saw someone walking down the aisle in the morning light, dressed like a peacock. Without looking closely, she knew it was Young Master Sun.
Lin Junyang was flipping through the information handed to him early by his subordinates.
Since returning home last night, the image of Xie Yuting’s frail figure kept surfacing in his mind, like a lily battered by wind and rain, so fragile and helpless.
He told himself countless times that she no longer had any ties to him; she had long become someone else’s wife and he had no reason to interfere in her life.
But deep down, a voice kept telling him she was not living happily now, and he should try to understand her life, at least to be there for her when she felt helpless.
After convincing himself, he had his people gather information about Xie Yuting’s life over the past few years overnight.
Xie Yuting’s life after marriage was simple, so early in the day, his people handed him a comprehensive set of documents.
The records were detailed, noting her lack of complex interpersonal relationships and not participating in any work, just living the life of a wealthy family’s Young Madam at home.
Lin Junyang knew this was the life she wanted.
Yet seeing Chen Sheng’s behavior over the past two years made him furrow his brow.
Unlike Gu Haoyu and Sun Wangbei, Chen Sheng was a pure second-generation rich kid.
Though he held important positions in his company now, it was solely due to his family’s influence and his father’s efforts.
Even the position he currently held was secured because his father laid a strong foundation for him. Despite this, the company he managed had been declining since he took over.
Moreover, Chen Sheng was extremely promiscuous, often using overtime as an excuse to stay out all night, spending time with various women. He was involved with numerous actresses and models, leading a highly chaotic private life.
During the wedding yesterday, Chen Sheng received a call from a young model. Before the event concluded, he left Xie Yuting and didn’t return all night.
Looking over these documents and recalling Xie Yuting’s helpless gaze from yesterday, Lin Junyang’s grip tightened.
Just then, a guard came over to report, "Young Master, Young Master Sun is here."
The guard knew about Lin Junyang’s relationship with Young Master Sun, Young Master Chen, Young Master Gu, and Young Master Mu. Usually, when they came to the house, the guard would only report it rather than stop them, as instructed by Lin Junyang.
Sun Wangbei followed the guard into the room, immediately spotting Lin Junyang sitting on the living room sofa, with his brow furrowed as he looked at a stack of documents. No need to guess what he was reviewing.
"Fifth, what are you checking these things for? Don’t tell me you’re just interested?"
Lin Junyang looked up, seeing Sun Wangbei angrily at the entrance, and casually placed the documents face down on the coffee table as he stood to greet him.
"Third Brother, you’re a rare guest. What wind blew you here this early morning?"
"Don’t try to play dumb with me. I’m asking you a question, why are you checking those things?" Sun Wangbei bypassed him and directly sat on the sofa.
Lin Junyang stood where he was, hands in his pockets, exuding the laid-back attitude of a young gentleman, "I don’t understand what Third Brother is saying. Have you had breakfast this early? If not, I can ask the servants to prepare it for you; I haven’t eaten either."
"Don’t pretend you don’t understand. What are these?" Sun Wangbei said, reaching out to flip over the stack of documents.
Lin Junyang wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
Sun Wangbei pointed at the stack of documents, questioning loudly, "Fifth, what are you checking these for? Don’t tell me you’re just casually interested. That woman approached you yesterday with no good intentions."
