Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the afternoon, Lin Wanli received a call from Ye Weiyin, asking for her current address so that she could send her a dress for the banquet.

Of course, Lin Wanli couldn’t tell Ye Weiyin the address of Yujing Peak, so she asked her to send the gown to Yue Group’s office building and give it to Lin Xueyi.

Perhaps she was afraid that Lin Wanli wouldn’t wear it, so Ye Weiyin repeatedly emphasized, “Wanli, this is a little token of your Grandma’s appreciation. She knows that she has let you down for a long time, so she spent a lot of effort to find this dress for you. You must not let her down.”

“I’ll see what I can do.” Lin Wanli gave Ye Weiyin an ambiguous reply.

Ye Weiyin was afraid that Lin Wanli would be suspicious, so she didn’t dare to say anything more. She only reminded her that tomorrow was a very important occasion and hoped that she, as the host, could arrive early to entertain the guests.

“I think you should take care of Ye Zhenzhen first.” After saying that, Lin Wanli hung up. Ye Weiyin’s hypocritical tone made her feel tired.

Lin Wanli put down her phone and was about to continue working when Dean’s overseas call came in.

Lin Wanli curled her lips and answered the call with a smile. She said, “It’s only eight o’clock in France. It’s not like you to go to work so early.”

“Wanli, I heard about the email you replied to AFF Group, so I couldn’t wait to call to confirm. Are you really willing to temporarily take over the position of AFF Group’s Asia Pacific President? Didn’t you decline the business negotiation with the group previously?”

“If something happens to the AFF Asian market, can I just stand by and watch? And you said it yourself, it’s only temporary.” Lin Wanli corrected him, “AFF has helped me a lot in the past two years. Now that AFF has entered the Asian market, I’m willing to do my part. I only talk about business. I still hope AFF can send someone over to take over as soon as possible. By then, I can successfully step down.”

“Don’t worry, my father is already looking for a candidate. I believe there will be news soon. Isn’t there an old saying over there? Capable people do more and work harder. You’re so smart and capable, you’ll definitely be able to handle it well. When you announce your inauguration, I’ll definitely fly to Jinchuan to celebrate with you.”

“You should probably make an overseas call to congratulate me instead. My husband is a little jealous,” Lin Wanli laughed mischievously.

“The AFF Group will announce this news tonight. It’s to wash away its previous negative image and also to build up momentum for the subsidiary group. How annoying. You’re going to be on the news again.”

Lin Wanli instructed, “Help me delay it a little first. Don’t let the news spread too quickly. I still need to use this piece of news to perform tomorrow.”

“The matter on your side is still not settled?”

“Almost.”

It was really almost settled.

Lin Wanli took on the AFF position, which meant that she could no longer be the person in charge of the Lin Group. She was even more disdainful of being the successor of the Lin Group. The Old Madam wanted to tie her up with the mother and daughter of the Ye family and make her a tool for profit, but she did not take the Old Madam and the mother and daughter seriously at all. Revenge was necessary, but this was not the end of her life, nor could it be the ultimate meaning.

She couldn’t let these people hinder her progress.

In the evening, Lin Xueyi called Lin Wanli, saying that Ye Weiyin had already sent the gown over and wanted to ask Yan Qiu to pick it up.

Lin Wanli thought about what would happen tomorrow and wanted to mentally prepare Lin Xueyi, so she drove out personally.

However, when she arrived at the entrance of Yue Group, she saw Lin Xueyi and a man talking at the entrance before she got out of the car. Lin Wanli thought of the letter that Lin Xueyi had sent in the afternoon and had some guesses about the man’s identity.

Then, she got out of the car and took a few steps forward. She heard Lin Xueyi’s helpless voice say, “Donglin, I’ve already said it before. What happened back then was not my fault. If it wasn’t because of the old lady that I had a difficult labor, I could have saved him.”

“But he’s already gone. What’s the point of saying all this now? Xueyao went through a lot of trouble to find the Ye family’s mother and daughter and the Lin family was established by the Old Madam. But now, you two want to take it away, don’t you?”

“I can’t persuade the old lady because she’s blinded by greed. But I hope that you and your daughter can stop. Don’t push any further. Don’t let Xueyao be unable to die in peace.”

Lin Wanli heard the other party’s impassioned speech and scoffed. Then, she said from behind the two of them, “It’s me and the Lin family who are entangled. Sir, you shouldn’t be venting your anger on my mother.”

Hearing Lin Wanli’s voice, the two turned around.

Lin Xueyi immediately ran in front of Lin Wanli and protected her. The man, on the other hand, fiercely furrowed his brows. His gaze was sinister as he asked, “You are Lin Wanli?”

“Tomorrow is the Lin Group’s family recognition banquet. Do you think you can stop this matter by yourself?” Lin Wanli pushed away Lin Xueyi’s hand and stood in front of Lin Xueyi, pushing her behind her. She continued, “How about this, this isn’t the place to talk. We can go sit somewhere nearby for a while and talk about whether we owe them or not.”

“What a crafty woman.”

Even so, the man still followed behind the mother and daughter. The three of them came to the high-class cafe next to the Yue Group and found a quiet seat by the window.

After sitting down, Lin Xueyi ordered a cup of coffee and spoke first.

“I know that you’ve always hated me for not being able to save Xueyao back then. However, I hope that you’ll understand a few things. Don’t let yourself fall into hatred based on your own subjective speculations. This is not what Xueyao wants to see.”

“First of all, the reason why I had a difficult was because the Old Madam made things hard for me. At that time, I was already in a state of labor, but I was sent on a business trip by the Old Madam to the mountains to do public welfare publicity. Later on, I was rear-ended by a bus, which was why I was in danger of losing too much blood. If you ask the doctor now, you should know that I have made a plan with him that under certain circumstances, I can undergo surgery to save him.”

“So, the person you should blame isn’t me. It’s the old lady who knew that I

could save her son but still didn’t treat me well.”

After the man heard this, his brows furrowed a few times. He wanted to say something, but he seemed unable to say it.

“Secondly, you know better than anyone the situation Xueyao and I were in. Xueyao only needed to move his finger to get the thing that I risked my life to

get- How did von manage to he as harsh and harsh to me as the Old Madam

when I’ve experienced so much pain? Is my life not a life?”

The man remained silent.

“Finally, you told the old lady not to forget her hatred and told us not to fight and plunder. What position do you stand in to interfere with the Lin family’s affairs? Xueyao’s old friend? Forgive me for being blunt, Donglin, but you’re too thick-skinned. You’re meddling too much and haven’t seen where your position should be.”

“So what if my daughter was born on the day Xueyao died?”

“Just because Xueyao is dead, my daughter doesn’t even have the right to live?”
