"Impossible, this place obviously belongs to the two of them." Li Lihua widened her eyes and loudly refuted, even Lin Shichang quietly said, "Could there be so mistake?"
"Mistake? Do you think I’d occupy your Lin Family’s house? What a ridiculous notion. Do you really think I, Xu Jie, would do sothing so shaless? How about we call the steward to check whose na this villa is under?"
"But let make it clear, if it turns out that the deed is under my na, this matter won’t be settled so easily. You have two choices now.
One, get out of my villa imdiately. Two, co with to check who this house truly belongs to and then face my revenge. Choose." Xu Jie said calmly.
"No need, it’s just a misunderstanding from our family; it’s a mistake. But since when did President Xu get along so well with ngyao, letting her stay in this villa?" The elderly Lin lady first turned to glare fiercely at the pale-faced Li Lihua, then cautiously asked Xu Jie, her gaze lingering incessantly on the three, trying to judge sothing.
"What’s it to you? Do I need to report to you about who I befriend? Instead of ddling in my personal affairs, President Lin, why don’t you take care of your own family?" Xu Jie said rudely to the elderly Lin lady, exuding a commanding aura.
The elderly Lin lady, overpowered by Xu Jie, couldn’t lift her head, her face trembling slightly. "President Xu is right, I’ll co to Jiahe another day to apologize. Now, I’ll take my leave." She grit her teeth and said steadily.
"What are you waiting for? If you’ve chosen the first option, hurry up and get out. Do you want to call soone to see you out?" Xu Jie cast a sidelong glance at the elderly Lin lady, making her eyelids twitch once again.
"No need, no need, we can leave on our own." The elderly Lin lady waved her hand, picked up her belongings, and turned to leave. Passing by Li Lihua, her expression was vicious, her gaze like a venomous snake, "Just wait till we get back, I’ll settle accounts with you." She said through gritted teeth.
Li Lihua shuddered under such a gaze, casting a pleading look at Lin ngyao. "ngyao, mom was just montarily confused, don’t bla , please save ! I don’t want to divorce your dad, please plead with your grandma." Li Lihua shouted at Lin ngyao, trying to rush towards her.
"Stop her, don’t let her embarrass here." At the elderly Lin lady’s command, Lin Zike and Lin Zihua each grabbed one of Li Lihua’s arms, dragging her out despite her struggles and cries.
Lin Shichang remained standing, looking at Lin ngyao with complex emotions, his lips moving as if to say sothing, but he saw Lin ngyao looking at him indifferently. "You should leave too. I will send your things to you later," she said coldly.
"ngyao, I’m your father." Having grown accustod to living in such a big house, how could Lin Shichang be willing to go back to a smaller one?
"From the mont you stood by their side, you no longer were," Lin ngyao replied calmly.
"Still not leaving? Do you want to have soone escort you out?" Xu Ke looked at Lin Shichang impatiently.
Lin Shichang took one last look at Lin ngyao, seeing no intention of her stopping him, begrudgingly took Lin ngchen’s hand and left. As Lin ngchen left, she turned back to the two with a cold glare and said, "Soday, this place will be mine. Don’t get too comfortable."
After everyone had left the villa, neither their shadows nor their voices could be seen or heard, Xu Jie imdiately jumped up from the sofa, stood before the two, and said flatly, "What just happened was a necessity, apologies for any offense." Xu Jie said this to Lin ngyao.
After all, Lin ngyao was still part of the Lin Family, and it might have been a bit too much to humiliate the elderly Lin lady that way.
"Go upstairs and change; there’s nothing more for you here. You did well just now." Xu Ke waved to let Xu Jie leave.
"What Xu Jie just said was at my direction. Though I’m not short of a house, I dislike their attitude towards you. If they had sat down and talked properly, it wouldn’t have been impossible to give them this villa. But their attitude displeased , and now I don’t want to give up an inch of this villa. Would you get mad at because of this?" Xu Ke looked into Lin ngyao’s eyes, speaking with conviction, no hint of anxiety as if certain Lin ngyao wouldn’t be upset about it.
"Why would I get mad at you? I just never thought that one day I, Lin ngyao, would end up so isolated. I’m sure grandpa didn’t either before he passed. Xu Ke, I miss him." Lin ngyao sighed, feeling no sadness, as she rested her head against Xu Ke’s shoulder, speaking softly.
"You still have . If you miss him, I’ll take you to visit his grave tomorrow, or if you want, we can even go today," Xu Ke held her in his arms, speaking with slight satisfaction.
"Tomorrow, I’m a bit tired today." Lin ngyao closed her eyes and said.
The atmosphere between the two on the mountain was warm, but at the foot of the mountain, it was far less so.
"Slap!" Just after leaving Kangshi Mountain, the elderly Lin lady turned and slapped Li Lihua, her old face dark as if it could drip water. "Didn’t you say this house was bought by them? Li Lihua, how dare you lie to . From today on, you won’t be working at Lin Corp. Go ho, pack your things, and prepare to divorce Shichang. There’s no place for you in the Lin Family anymore," she said coldly, glaring at Li Lihua.
"No, mom, I won’t divorce. I have labored for the Lin Family, bore children. Even if I didn’t accomplish much, I’ve worked hard, and at my age, what will I do if I divorce? What will others think of ?" Li Lihua clung tightly to the elderly Lin lady’s sleeve, pale and utterly panicked.
"Do you rember the oath you swore when you ca? Do you want to break it without fear of divine retribution? Li Lihua, you’ve caused such humiliation today. It’s lenient of not to target you. Don’t think you can push your luck; you’re nothing to . Even if you were to die outside today, I wouldn’t feel a thing and might even applaud." The elderly Lin lady spoke coldly, the chill in her gaze almost freezing.
