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

Qin Huaijing was stunned for a moment. Then, his expression morphed into one of realization. Then, he said, “I was wondering why you were always able to counterattack before me. I didn’t expect Xu Menglan to switch sides long ago. The two of you worked together seamlessly.”

“Aren’t these the methods you guys used on us? I’m just giving you guys a taste of your own medicine.”

“So when did you find out about this?”

“Earlier than you think. Two years ago.” Lin Wanli said casually, “So, don’t struggle anymore. My preparations are far more comprehensive than you can imagine. No one can escape from my schemes.”

Lin Wanli had many things that Qin Huaijing didn’t know, but Qin Huaijing’s secrets had already been thoroughly dug out by her. He wouldn’t be able to struggle against Huo Jiuxiao alone.

“Do you think I’m being ruthless to you?” After Lin Wanli asked this question, she walked closer to Qin Huaijing and patted his shoulder. She leaned over and whispered into his ear, “Compared to the time when you wanted my Mom’s life, am I being merciful?”

Qin Huaijing’s breathing quickened, and his heart turned cold.

Because at this moment, Lin Wanli seemed to have seen through his heart. “Have a good rest. Don’t cause trouble. Master Xiao’s temper isn’t very good.”

Lin Wanli left the guest room and closed the door. However, before she left, she glanced back and sneered sarcastically.

At ten o’clock in the morning, Lin Xueyi was sorting out the next schedule of the Yue Group, but the front desk called and said that a man wanted to see her. The man’s surname was Fu, and he only needed five minutes of her time.

Lin Xueyi knew very few people with the surname Fu. There was only one person who was her brother’s best friend when he was alive. However, this person had immigrated to Japan after her brother passed away. Moreover, he had always been brooding over the fact that she had left him in the lurch. She did not know why he had come looking for her now.

Lin Xueyi applied for leave from the Yue Group and went down from the private elevator. At the fountain at the entrance of the Yue Group, she saw the man who maintained his image and bearing well even though he was middle-aged.

When he saw Lin Xueyi, the man sized her up a few times. Then, after pushing up his glasses, he took out a yellowed envelope from his suit pocket and handed it to Lin Xueyi.

“Xueyao asked me to give it to you, but I didn’t want you to be forgiven so quickly, so I kept it a secret until now. Lin Xueyi, I thought that we could let bygones be bygones. However, what your daughter has done recently is indeed too much. Don’t you think so?”

Lin Xueyi took the envelope. However, she did not accept the baseless accusations of others. Thus, she retorted, “I would have died if I had saved Xueyao back then.”

“I’ve asked the doctor. There was only a risk for you, but Xueyao would definitely die if you did not help! Forget it, what am I supposed to say to a heartless person?” The man sneered and turned to leave without looking up.

A letter that was more than twenty years old was now in her hands. What was this?

Lin Xueyi let out a long sigh, not knowing if she should open it.

She did not expect that after so many years, this person’s hatred for her was still so deep.

In the afternoon, Lin Wanli was coaxing Youran to take a leisurely nap. At this time, Aunt Qi knocked on the door and came in. She whispered to her, “Madam, let me do it. Your mother is here.”

Lin Wanli nodded and gently put her daughter down. She left the room and went downstairs to see Lin Xueyi standing in the garden.

However, she saw that her expression was solemn and she seemed to be hesitant.

“Mom, what happened?”

Lin Wanli took out a letter from her hand and handed it to her. She replied,

“This is a letter that your uncle asked a friend to leave for me before he died. However, that friend has always held a grudge against me for not saving your uncle, so he hid the letter until today.”

Lin Wanli took it and scanned through a few lines. The mother and daughter walked to the table and chairs in the garden and sat down.

“The letter recorded the timeline of Uncle’s search for the Ye family’s mother and daughter. This also fully proves that my guess back then was correct. The Old Madam originally did not have the intention to look for the mother and daughter. It was because you were in a relationship and got married that she felt that you were useless, so she asked Uncle to look for them.”

“There are more important things in the later part of the letter.” Lin Xueyi reminded her.

Lin Wanli continued to read. She frowned at the last page.

‘Ye Weiyin wasn’t lost. The Old Madam abandoned her on purpose. After she found out that Ye Weiyin was adopted by someone she knew, she made Ye Weiyin go to a more remote place to cover up her shameful scandal.”

There was also a photo as proof.

Lin Wanli looked at the black and white photo that was about to melt. She felt cold and sarcastic because in the Old Madam’s heart, family members were just tools for her to pursue benefits. The only person she cared about was perhaps Lin Xueyao…

“Wanli, what do you plan to do?”

“Since it’s about Ye Weiyin, of course we’ll let her choose. Didn’t she always resent us and think that we were lucky enough to snatch her things? This letter can tell her who is the real culprit who made her a joke and her life a tragedy.”

No wonder the Old Madam had been indulging the Ye family’s mother and daughter all these years. It turned out that the Old Madam also felt guilty.

“Ye Weiyin might go crazy,” said Lin Xueyi.

“Mom, everyone has their own destiny and their own path. We don’t have to empathize with them, nor do we have to blame ourselves.”

Lin Xueyi listened to her advice and knew that it was reasonable. After handing the letter to Lin Wanli, she returned to work at Yue Group.

Lin Wanli kept the letter and frowned. Sometimes, turning enemies into allies was also a very interesting thing, right?

Of course, this had to be after the family recognition banquet.

At the same time, in Old Madam Lin’s office, the man surnamed Fu was already sitting on the sofa opposite the Old Madam. His expression was solemn and angry.

“Auntie, more than 20 years have passed. I don’t dare to forget Xueyao’s death for even a day. I will always remember how high his body was lifted when they were using a defibrillator to rescue him, and how painful his expression was. But you seem to have forgotten.”

Before the Old Madam could exchange greetings, the man’s words brought her back to the darkest day of her life.

Therefore, her expression changed from a smile to a gloomy one.

“I didn’t forget,” she answered stiffly.

“Since you haven’t forgotten, why did you let Lin Wanli inherit the Lin Group? The news has already spread overseas. If not for this, I wouldn’t have been able to rush back immediately. Do you care so much about benefits? I used to think that no matter what, you really loved Xueyao. However, after what happened during the past few days, I don’t think I can be sure of it anymore.”

The man took off his glasses uncomfortably, wiped his tears, and continued, “Don’t forget, on the day Lin Wanli was born, Xueyao died. He was forever stuck at the age of 22..”
