Stealing Your Heart

Chapter 33

She met Lin Yuhan at a bar when she went for a drink alone two days ago.

They were sitting next to each other, while Lin Yuhan drank a little too much. Because she bumped into Zong Jinghao and realized that he didn’t have a limp, she missed the opportunity to marry into the Zong family. She resented Lin Xinyan very much and was cursing her.

Bai Zhuwei therefore sat close and cottoned up to her. She knew from her that she was also a member of the Lin family, and resented Lin Xinyan deeply.

As Bai Zhuwei was with Zong Jinghao every day, it would be rather noticeable if she went after Lin Xinyan by herself.

Therefore, she decided to use Lin Yuhan at that time.

Lin Yuhan looked exactly like Shen Xiuqing, yet was way stupider than her and rather immature even though she was 17.

Bai Zhuwei was rather eloquent since she started working very early and had been working for Zong Jinghao for quite some time.

She told Lin Yuhan that she worked in Wan Sheng and could help her to get rid of Lin Xinyan.

Lin Yuhan was successfully cajoled by Bai Zhuwei to collaborate since then.

Therefore, Lin Yuhan told Shen Xiuqing what she thought when she got home.

Shen Xiuqing was worried too that Lin Xinyan would take revenge on them once she became powerful.

Eight years ago, she bore Lin Guoan a son and successfully gained wealth and fame. Later, in the name of her unborn child she got Lin Guoan to send the mother and daughter away.

So, Shen Xiuqing agreed to it as soon as Lin Yuhan mentioned it.

Both of them bribed a man, scheming to take Lin Xinyan to a deserted area to rape her. They planned to take photos to destroy her life and make Zong Jinghao detest her.

But it was unexpected that she managed to escape.

Lin Yuhan rushed downstairs after answering Bai Zhuwei’s call to talk to Shen Xiuqing about their next move to go after Lin Xinyan. However, she could feel that everyone in the living room was in a grim mood.

Lin Guoan and Shen Xiuqing looked grave.

She sat next to Shen Xiuqing, held her arms and asked, “Mom, what’s wrong with you?”

Shen Xiuqing was emotionless and did not utter a word.

Lin Guoan also looked emotionless as he spoke coldly, “I didn’t ask you to do something difficult, but merely apologize to her and stop finding fault at her. Our company is in trouble and we need her help!”

They needed Zong Jinghao’s help, to be exact.

Lin Xinyan seemed to have successfully pleased Zong Jinghao, and so he had to get to Lin Xinyan for a start.

He knew that Lin Xinyan’s not over what happened before after listening to what she said.

Lin Guoan still loved Shen Xiuqing and didn’t want a divorce before running out of other options.

“Dad, who do you want mom to apologize to?” Lin Yuhan was bewildered.

“You too. Yan is your sister and you should be kind to her.” Lin Guoan stared at Shen Xiuqing and said, “Think about it. I’m gonna give her a call and invite her over for dinner.”

Lin Yuhan wasn’t as patient as Shen Xiuqing. She immediately jumped up from the couch once she knew that he wanted her mother to apologize to Lin Xinyan, and said to him, “Dad, why on earth should mom apologize to her?”

Lin Guoan was stunned as he didn’t expect his sweet and obedient daughter would be so aggressive.

“I’m your dad. Is that how you’re supposed to talk to me?” Lin Guoan was irritated and yelled, “I tell you what, apologize and everything will be fine. If you don’t, I’ll divorce you!”

He will still choose his company over a woman.

What kind of women he couldn’t possibly have when he has risen to the top of the world?

A person is truly nobody if he doesn’t have any money or social status.

“Dad…”

“Han!” Shen Xiuqing interrupted her daughter. It is crystal clear that Lin Guoan wanted to keep his company and cared nothing about her dignity.

He would really divorce her if he’s determined to do so.

Even after marrying Zhuang Zijin for so many years, it was still easy for him to divorce her.

Lin Yuhan asked him while stamping her foot angrily, “Dad, why?” “Who does Lin Xinyan think she is? Why must mom apologize to her?”

Bang!

Lin Guoan smashed a glass on the table to the ground with a loud crash. Infuriated, he glared at Shen Xiuqing and said, “Is this how you taught our daughter?”

Shen Xiuqing immediately stood up and said, “Guoan, Han just didn’t want me to be wronged, and didn’t mean it.” She pulled Lin Yuhan’s hand and said, “Apologize to your dad now.”

Lin Yuhan was unwilling to apologize as she didn’t think she was wrong.

“Say it!” Shen Xiuqing berated her in a rough voice. It’s fine to be arrogant sometimes, but this time is completely different!

She will infuriate Lin Guoan. They will be finished if they are kicked out of home!

Lin Yuhan breathed heavily with anger and wouldn’t budge.

Shen Xiuqing slapped her on the back in a fit of rage and said, “What did I usually teach you?” “Apologize to your dad now!”

Shen Xiuqing winked at her when she spoke.

Noticed that the whole incident could become far more serious, Lin Yuhan said reluctantly, “Dad, I was wrong.”

Lin Guoan didn’t want to squabble continuously on the same topic and said, “Prepare a nice dinner.”

He left the house after finished speaking as he still had to deal with tons of troubles in his company.

He stopped when he reached the door, looked back at them and said, “You can’t help solve my problems in the company, but know very well on how to spend my money. If you can’t even do this single task well, what’s the use of keeping the two of you?”

Lin Guoan was heartless.

Even though he loved Shen Xiuqing, she could still be sacrificed for greater benefits.

Lin Yuhan clenched his teeth in anger and said, “Did he have a stroke just now?”

Shen Xiuqing sat back on the couch in desperation and ridiculed herself by saying, “Who says he suffered a stroke? He is shrewd enough! When he knows that Zong Jinghao likes Lin Xinyan now, he hopes to utilize her so that Zong Jinghao can solve his company’s mess.”

Lin Yuhan was even angrier when she heard this and said, “If I were married to Zong Jinghao, dad will surely not treat us like this!”

Shen Xiuqing looked at her daughter lovingly. She knew that her daughter was as good as Lin Xinyan.

She pulled Lin Yuhan over to sit beside her and said, “Now is not the time to be pissed off.” She turned around, looked at her daughter and said, “Do you love Zong Jinghao?”

Wasn’t it very obvious?

Lin Yuhan blushed as soon as she thought about Zong Jinghao, as a young girl like her couldn’t contain herself. She looked down coyly and answered gently, “Hmm”.

Shen Xiuqing held her daughter’s arms tightly and said, “Actually, it is not something impossible.”

“Is it possible?” Lin Yuhan was overjoyed. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Shen Xiuqing already had a well-thought-out plan. She looked at her daughter and said, “You shouldn’t be worried about it. Your job for now is to dress yourself up, and I will do the rest.”

Before Lin Xinyan got off from work, she received Lin Guoan’s call and was invited to have dinner along with Zong Jinghao at his place.

Lin Xinyan wasn’t sure if Lin Guoan was suspicious and wanted to pump her for more information about her relationship with Zong Jinghao.

If Lin Guoan came to know that she wasn’t liked by Zong Jinghao, it would become very difficult for her to take back her belongings and take revenge on Shen Xiuqing for harming her.

But, asking Zong Jinghao to return to the Lin family together would be rather impossible.

After finished translating the last document, Lin Xinyan sat at her seat, contemplating ways to convince Zong Jinghao to go to Lin’s house with her.

She contemplated for a long time, but still couldn’t think of a good way to do it.

Bai Zhuwei left her seat due to work, and therefore Lin Xinyan wanted to take this opportunity to get into Zong Jinghao’s office and talk to him.

She stood up but felt that it would be wired if she went in without reason. She glanced at the document that she had just finished translating and grabbed it along.

Bai Zhuwei would usually stop her from approaching Zong Jinghao and hand over the translated documents to Zong Jinghao herself.

Stood in front of the office door, she took a deep breath before knocking on the door.

She pushed open the door after someone in the office answered.
