Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lu Yingxin stood rooted to the ground for a long time. She only returned to her senses when her phone rang, and Old Master Li asked where she was in an unhappy tone.

When Old Master Li saw Lu Yingxin, his expression was very dark, and he slapped her. It caused her to almost lose balance.

Lu Yingxin was stunned. Her ears rang as she looked at him in shock.

Old Master Li had never been so angry with Lu Yingxin before. In fact, he did not look too bad. He was just like an ordinary middle-aged man. However, due to his anger at this moment, he looked a little scary.

He bellowed, “What did you do behind my back? The company has gone through so many difficulties before finally obtaining a chance to discuss investment with Huo Corporation. However, before anything could come to fruition, the Huo Corporation suddenly didn’t want to talk to us! Now, the company is going bankrupt! Do you understand? The company is going bankrupt!”

Lu Yingxin was at a loss and confused. Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked pitiful as she said, “I didn’t do anything. It has nothing to do with me.”

Old Master Li grew even angrier. “You didn’t do anything? The employee from the Huo Corporation said that my lover was very capable. Isn’t it obvious that you’d done something? I told you long ago that Huo Zheng isn’t someone you can afford to provoke. Why didn’t you listen?”

Lu Yingxin had tried to get close to Lin Xiaowan without Old Master Li’s knowledge. After all, she knew he did not have a good temper. If he had known, she knew the result would be bad for her. She naturally did not dare to tell the truth and said half-truthfully with tears streaming down her face, “I-I only met with that Lin Xiaowan a few times… 1, 1 really didn’t do anything…”

Old Master Li was furious. His company had been counting on this project to make a comeback. However, now his company was going under. Once it was liquidated, he would really have nothing left.

He had not been with Lu Yingxin for long. Initially, he thought that she was self-aware and well-behaved. However, after getting to know her, he knew that he had misjudged her and that she had a lot of thoughts in her mind. Nonetheless, he turned a blind eye to it, thinking that she would at least know her limits. Who knew she would be so reckless?

Old Master Li picked up a soft leather whip at the side and brought it down hard on Lu Yingxin. He had a special hobby, to begin with. As such, there were many ‘torture devices’ such as this in his house.

Lu Yingxin could only beg for mercy. “Please! 1 really didn’t do anything! Stop hitting me, stop hitting me! ”

Lu Yingxin instinctively dodged, but this only made Old Master Li angrier.

“You sl*t! How dare you dodge! You’re still denying it? Do you think Huo Zheng and his wife are stupid?”

Lu Yingxin’s hatred for Lin Xiaowan reached unprecedented heights at this moment. Previously, she was only jealous that Lin Xiaowan was with a man like Huo Zheng. However, now she blamed Lin Xiaowan for all her misfortunes.

Lu Yingxin cried as she said, “It’s Lin Xiaowan! It s all her fault! She must have said something to Huo Zheng! It’s all her fault!”

Although Old Master Li had met Lin Xiaowan before, he did not know her name. When he heard Lu Yingxin’s words, he hit even harder as he said, “I don’t care about her. All I know is that it’s because of you that my f*eking project failed!”

As Lu Yingxin was hit, she thought about Lin Xiaowan’s sweet smile and Lin Xiaowan’s good life, making her mind grow even more and more twisted.

By the time Old Master Li vented his anger, it was already late at night. He did not even spare a glance at Lu Yingxin. After all, he had no feelings for her, to begin with. He naturally did not pity her. He only scoffed at her coldly before he left to take a shower and change his clothes.

When he came out, he stood by the bed and looked down at Lu Yingxin as he said, “I’ll give you a chance. No matter what method you use, think of a way to get my investment back. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”

With that, he left.

In Xilin Imperial Garden.

Lin Xiaowan was watching a movie in the home theater, holding Little Chestnut in her arms. She lay on the couch sideways as she held Little Chestnut and watched the movie.

Due to the smell of the wormwood and disinfectant from the repeated disinfection on the second floor, Little Chestnut was still staying on the first floor.

Perhaps Little Chesnut was still traumatized by her sudden bath a few days ago, it had lost weight even though it was eating well.

At this time, Lin Xiaowan s lit up.

Lin Xiaowan took a look and was puzzled when she saw that it was a message from Lu Yingxin.

[Lu Yingxin: I’m sorry. I really know my mistake. Can we have lunch tomorrow? Hl explain everything to you in Jiyu Courtyard. Please give me another chance. I beg you. After explaining everything, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ve already been punished because of this. Give me a chance to explain to you. ]

Lu Yingxin’s words seemed sincere, and she seemed remorseful. Lin Xiaowan read the message a few times and could not figure out what Lu Yingxin meant when Lu Yingxin said she had already been punished. In the end, she sighed and replied with one word.

[Lin Xiaowan: Okay.]

‘Let’s see what she has to say..’

The next day.

Lin Xiaowan arrived at the meeting place.

Jiyu Courtyard was a small restaurant, and it looked like a farmhouse. There was a big dog there as well. It wagged its tail and stared ar Lin Xiaowan.

When Lin Xiaowan waved her hand, rhe dog ran over ro her and rubbed itself against her happily.

The restaurant was not in a central area, and it was quite remote. Very few people came here for lunch. When the lady boss saw Lin Xiaowan, she came over to greet Lin Xiaowan and asked, “How many of you are having lunch here? What would you like to eat?”

Lin Xiaowan did not know if Lu Yingxin had arrived. She asked, “Did you a pretty girl? She’s about my age.’¹

The lady boss did not even need ro think about it. After all, there were nor many people at noon. She replied, “No. There’s only a table of men drinking.”

However, immediately after that, the lady boss thought of something. She wiped her hands before she went to get a booklet. After taking a look, she asked, “Is your friend’s surname Lu? A lady with the surname Lu made a reservation and said that her friend’s surname is Lin. She told us to bring you in first when you arrive..¹‘
