Chapter 1372 - 1386: Scrapped -
What she did not expect was that by the time she was 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 virtues, perhaps it was so-called kindness.
She didn’t know what about her caught Mu Xingfeng’s attention, made him treat her differently.
But she knew that only by being with him could she feel like she was truly alive, like a person, rather than a puppet being manipulated.
...
A night of drunkenness left Xiao Xiao’s mind temporarily blank; it was only after she opened her eyes and recognized the room that she realized she was back at the Lin Family, likely brought back by Lin Junyang.
It seemed that this time she didn’t vomit in his car; she did remember that man had threatened her maliciously, saying if she ever did again, he would throw her out.
Luck was really on her side yesterday.
With self-mockery, Xiao Xiao shook her head and turned over to get out of bed.
Her clothes had already been changed to pajamas, and she wasn’t worried at all about questions of who managed the change.
Drawing back the curtains, the dazzling sunlight streamed in, making her instinctively reach out to shield her eyes.
Uh, today she really got up quite late; it must be past nine o’clock.
She sighed inwardly, grateful to be staying at the Lin Family; Grandpa Lin and Mom Lin and Dad Lin liked her so much. If they saw her being lazy all the time, they wouldn’t tolerate her as a daughter-in-law, even if Lin Junyang said nothing.
The Lin Family had excellent life routines; none of them lay in bed lazily.
After lamenting, she laughed self-mockingly again. What was she thinking? Someone like her could never be a daughter-in-law of the Lin Family.
Looking up, she saw someone walking up the corridor in the morning light, dressed flamboyantly like a peacock; it didn’t take much to know it was Young Master Sun.
Lin Junyang was flipping through the early morning documents handed over by his subordinates.
After coming home last night, his mind kept flashing with the image of Xie Yuting’s frail appearance, like a lily in the storm, so delicate, so helpless.
Countless times he told himself that she wasn’t related to him anymore, that she had long been someone else’s wife, and he had no reason to interfere in her life.
But there was always a voice in his heart telling him she was unhappy now, he should learn about her life, at least be able to lend a hand when she was helpless.
Persuaded, he had his people help him investigate Xie Yuting’s information over the years overnight.
Xie Yuting’s post-marital life was simple, so early this morning his people handed him the compiled information.
The records were detailed; after marriage, she had no complicated social relationships, nor did she engage in any work activities, merely being a wealthy Young Madam at home.
Lin Junyang knew this was the life she wanted.
Yet seeing Chen Sheng’s actions in recent years made him furrow his brows.
Chen Sheng was unlike Gu Haoyu, Sun Wangbei, and the others; he was purely second-generation wealthy.
Although he held an important position in the company now, that position was entirely secured by his family’s influence and his dad’s efforts.
Even having reached his current position was thanks to his dad’s strong capabilities laying the foundation for him, and yet the company he managed had been gradually declining since he took office.
Furthermore, Chen Sheng was extremely promiscuous, often not returning home under the pretext of working late at the company, going out to fool around with women; the number of actresses and young models involved with him was countless, making his private life extremely chaotic.
During yesterday’s wedding ceremony, Chen Sheng received a call from a young model; before the wedding ended, he left Xie Yuting and went away, then didn’t return all night.
Looking at such records, recalling the helpless look in Xie Yuting’s eyes yesterday, Lin Junyang tightened his large hand.
At this moment, a guard came over to convey a message, "Young Master, Young Master Sun is here."
The guard knew of Lin Junyang’s relationships with Young Master Sun, Young Master Chen, Young Master Gu, Young Master Mu; when they came to the house, usually they would only pass on the message and wouldn’t stop them, as instructed by Lin Junyang.
Sun Wangbei followed the guard into the room and immediately saw Lin Junyang sitting on the sofa in the living room, his brows tightly knit as he looked at the stack of documents in his hand. It wasn’t hard to guess what he was looking at.
"Fifth Brother, what are you investigating these things for? Don’t tell me you’re just interested?"
Lin Junyang raised his head, looking at Sun Wangbei at the door, then casually dropped the documents onto the coffee table, stood up to greet him.
"Third Brother is a rare guest, what wind blew you here so early in the morning?"
"Don’t dodge my questions, I asked you why you’re investigating those things?" Sun Wangbei bypassed him, walked straight to the sofa and sat down.
Lin Junyang remained in place, hands in pockets, striking a nonchalant pose like a playboy, "I don’t understand what Third Brother is saying; have you had breakfast this early? If not, I can have the servant prepare for you, I haven’t eaten yet myself."
"Don’t understand? What are these, then?" Sun Wangbei said as he reached out, flipping over the stack of documents.
Lin Junyang tried to stop him but it was too late.
Pointing at the stack of documents, Sun Wangbei questioned loudly, "Fifth Brother, why are you investigating this? Don’t tell me you’re just idly looking, yesterday that woman approached you with no good intentions."
