Since Lin Qingxue had no objections, Elder Lin nodded in satisfaction and imdiately announced the adjournnt of the eting.
After Elder Lin left, Lin Qingxue picked up her bag and also prepared to leave the eting room.
However, Lin Zhiping stopped her.
"What is it?"
Lin Qingxue stopped in her tracks, looking at her cousin who liked to stir up trouble, and asked in a cold tone.
"Heh," Lin Zhiping chuckled and said, "My dear sister, don't waste your effort. In the end, you will marry out of the Lin Family and beco an outsider. The promise Grandfather made yesterday was not for you, but for !"
"Yes, I know. Is there anything else you wish to instruct, cousin?"
Lin Qingxue listened to Lin Zhiping's mockery, her expression unchanged, she clenched her fists tightly and spoke in a calm voice.
"That's all, just keep to yourself in the future, heh heh…" Seeing that Lin Qingxue had no reaction, Lin Zhiping found it dull and then left the eting room first.
The rest of the Lin Family's younger generation, though not as openly self-satisfied as Lin Zhiping, mocked Lin Qingxue on the spot, but their looks also carried a mix of pity and ridicule.
They shook their heads slightly, as if mocking Lin Qingxue's overestimation of herself, and they also followed Lin Zhiping out of the eting room.
After they had all left, Lin Qingxue was in no hurry to leave.
With her eyes reddened, she returned to her original place, then leaned on the wooden table and started to sob softly.
Earlier, in front of everyone, Lin Qingxue had seed indifferent, but how could she truly be indifferent at heart?
She did not care about the Lin Group or those family properties.
It was just that being repeatedly used and deceived by them was truly distressing.
If Elder Lin had used the Spring of Life given by Mu Jinyu to cure his illness but planned to renege on the debt, Lin Qingxue had no words to say, for she had agreed to it herself.
Thus, she decided to earn money herself to repay Mu Jinyu.
But today's event, originally a promise made by Grandfather in front of everyone, could have been her chance to earn money through the collaboration with Jinyu Group and repay Mu Jinyu. However, because of Lin Zhiping's scheming, she ended up seeming to have ulterior motives.
How could Lin Qingxue not feel imnse grievances?
She had always been contributing to the Lin Family…
Yet they kept bullying her.
After crying for a while, Lin Qingxue, with reddened eyes, took out her phone from her pocket and texted Mu Jinyu, telling him that she might be late in repaying him again and asked him not to scold her. She wasn't intentionally deceiving or playing with him…
Mu Jinyu quickly replied to her text, asking what had happened.
Lin Qingxue initially felt that family disgrace should not be aired publicly and did not want to say much.
But under the persistent questioning and intimidation from Mu Jinyu, she eventually spoke up.
Of course, she did not describe the People of Lin Family in ugly terms but tried to portray them in the best light possible.
Jinyu Group.
Seeing the text from Lin Qingxue, Mu Jinyu's lips curled into a cold smirk, saying, "Interesting."
Although Lin Qingxue spoke in various euphemisms, prioritizing the bigger picture, he quickly guessed what had happened in the Lin Family.
He had suspected that this very thing might happen right from the start.
However, Mu Jinyu still had underestimated a bit.
Originally, he thought that the People of the Lin Family were envious after seeing Lin Qingxue making money and paying it back, which is why they started thinking about wresting control from her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Qingxue returned ho and announced this matter, the People of the Lin Family imdiately couldn't wait to seize power, and that terrible old man decided to go back on his word.
"How interesting." Mu Jinyu sent Lin Qingxue a comforting text ssage, then put away his phone and called his secretary to ask Lin Qiaoxia to co over.
Lin Qiaoxia quickly ca in and asked, "Young Master Mu, what can I do for you?"
Mu Jinyu instructed, "Do you know who our partner is at the Jinling Branch?"
Lin Qiaoxia, feeling a bit puzzled, as it had just been decided, but wary of asking too much, honestly answered, "It's Ms. Lin Qingxue of the Lin Group."
Mu Jinyu nodded slightly and asked, "Hmm, but if Ms. Lin were to fall ill, and the Lin Family decides to send soone else to take over and work with you, what would you do?"
Lin Qiaoxia, sensing sothing was off from Mu Jinyu's words, didn't imdiately respond. After thinking it over, she cautiously replied, "Then we would wait for Ms. Lin to recover before discussing cooperation again?"
"Mm." Mu Jinyu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Correct, our partner in Jinling is Lin Qingxue, not just any Lin Family, rember that!"
"I have rembered it," Lin Qiaoxia nodded.
Mu Jinyu said, "When the Lin Family sends a new person in charge tomorrow, you know the attitude you should adopt without having to teach you, right?"
"I understand," upon hearing Mu Jinyu's statent, Lin Qiaoxia realized she didn't need to be polite in rejecting them but could be as harsh as necessary!
"Alright, go handle it," Mu Jinyu waved his hand, signaling that Lin Qiaoxia could leave.
Lin Qiaoxia nodded and then left Mu Jinyu's office.
Su Zijin, sitting nearby, couldn't help but ask, "Son, you didn't just lie to Mom, did you?"
Su Zijin listened to Mu Jinyu's series of instructions and felt increasingly that sothing wasn't right. If it was just a casual friendship, why go to such lengths?!
Mu Jinyu shook his head and sighed, "Ah, it really doesn't matter. I just simply dislike the Lin Family. It was bad enough that they owed money, but to think they dare to disgust with such tactics! Did they really think changing the person in charge after signing a contract would settle everything? I clearly wrote Lin Qingxue's na in the contract, not the Lin Group. I will give them a profound lesson tomorrow."
In the end, he laughed coldly.
Seeing this, Su Zijin didn't ask further, but instead inquired, "Are we going back today then?"
Mu Jinyu shook his head and said, "No, let's have so fun in Jinling first."
Su Zijin glanced at her watch and said, "It's almost 5:00 PM. Let Qiaoxia leave her work for tomorrow; let's go back and have dinner first."
Su Zijin treated girls who were on good terms with Mu Jinyu fairly, regardless of whether they were like i Yinxue or had established a relationship with him, she treated all of them equally, like daughters-in-law.
"Mm," Mu Jinyu nodded sowhat reluctantly, then went to call Lin Qiaoxia to tell her not to be busy anymore and to co ho for dinner.
Naturally, it was in the new house they had bought in Jinling.
The next day.
A little after eight in the morning.
Lin Zhiping dressed in a fine suit, his hair ticulously grood, bearing several docunts and with a cheerful expression, arrived at Jinyu Group to discuss the upcoming collaboration plan with Lin Qiaoxia and, after that...
where they would go for a al.
If possible, he also wanted to book a room, hmm...
However, things did not go as planned. Follow current novels on novel(ꜰ)ire
Upon arrival at Jinyu Group, Lin Zhiping did not receive the preferential treatnt he had imagined from Jinling's only partner of Jinyu Group, but was instead taken to a reception room and was given cold tea to drink all morning.
