Chapter 17
“Don’t use indifference to hide your true needs.” Lin Wanli ignored him. She poured him a glass of warm water and placed it on the bedside table. “If you really want this, at least wait until I get home tonight and put Youyou to sleep.”
After she finished speaking, Lin Wanli left.
Huo Jiuxiao turned to look at the glass of water on the bedside table. The frustration in his heart had been smoothed out a little, but he still wanted to comment, “You’re courting death.”
However, kissing her and getting close to her would alleviate his headache.
Before Lin Wanli could react, Huo Jiuxiao responded to the voice in her heart. She subconsciously thought that she had said it out loud and failed to realize that Huo Jiuxiao was deaf.
She only knew that today was very important to her because today was the day she was going to be Lin Wanli the villain!
…
Time passed quickly, and the Chinese Business Forum was successfully held in Jinchuan. The Lin Family’s higher-ups wanted to talk to Dean after the meeting, mainly to “explain” the misunderstanding between them and the Lin Family, but Dean did not give them any chance at all.
The higher-ups of the Lin Family informed Father Lin that Dean would return to France the next day, so tonight’s birthday banquet was his only chance.
Actually, Father Lin knew very well that he and Ye Zhenzhen were the ones who caused this mess. However, Lin Wanli had to take the blame. Moreover, they had to resolve the conflict between the two parties before Dean met the Old Madam. Otherwise, it would only complicate matters if Lin Wanli was involved.
Therefore, after the official luncheon ended, Mother Ye sent a car to welcome Dean. However, when Mother Ye’s people arrived at the hotel, they came empty-handed. Who said that I have to listen to your arrangements just because I agree? In fact, Dean did not even have lunch. After the meeting ended, he directly got into Lin Wanli’s car.
Mother Ye had even called Dean personally, her tone was very polite.
“Mr. Dean, I wonder if I have the honor of meeting you in advance?”
Dean glanced at Lin Wanli, who was wearing sunglasses and driving, and replied directly, “You don’t have the honor.”
“It’s okay. When will you arrive at the banquet hall? So I can send someone to pick you up.”
“Isn’t the birthday banquet starting at seven o’clock? I’ll be there on time.” With that, Dean hung up the phone.
The mother and daughter were used to manipulating people and thought that everyone would fall for their tricks.
Unfortunately, everyone around Lin Wanli knew their ugly side.
“She will bear a grudge if you humiliate her like this.” Lin Wanli reminded Dean, “But she will still look for you.”
“Isn’t my mission today to humiliate her?” Dean raised his eyebrows and asked, “But Wanli, are these people really your blood relatives?”
“That’s right…” Lin Wanli mocked herself.
“Then I have to be serious about tonight’s scenes.” Dean frowned and said, “A bunch of heartless and filthy things.”
“If you arrive early, both the mother and daughter of the Ye Family will definitely give you benefits. Don’t reject them. When the time comes, you can throw these benefits in front of the Old Madam.” Lin Wanli said, “It’s in public. The scene should be very nice.”
“Let’s do it this way!” Dean was in high spirits.
…
On the other side, in the hotel lounge.
Mother Ye greeted him with a smile. She did not expect Dean to not fall for her tricks and be harsh. Hence, after hanging up the phone, Mother. Ye’s expression remained gloomy.
Ye Zhenzhen stood beside her mother in fear. She did not even dare to breathe loudly until her mother asked her to send the modified gown to the Old Madam.
“Mom, why don’t you let me try talking to this Dean?”
“We can’t make any more mistakes today. I’ll take care of this Dean well. Your task is to make your Grandma happy. When the time is right, let your Grandma remember that she still has a useless granddaughter. Let her feel the difference between the two of you.”
“Mom, I’ve already prepared a gift for Grandma. Don’t worry, she’ll definitely be satisfied. It’s also an achievement that Lin Wanli won’t be able to produce in her entire life.” Ye Zhenzhen said confidently.
