She removed her makeup, washed her hair, and wore a long down jacket over comfortable coral fleece pajamas. With her already delicate features, her bare face gave her a refined and demure look.

It doesn't seem to be aggressive at all.

"Don't look anymore, I came alone."

Seeing that Tang Li hadn't closed the door yet, Lin Yiyun had already walked into the room and found a chair to sit down.

On the small table were Tang Li's instant coffee and freshly boiled water. Lin Yiyun took a disposable paper cup and made herself a cup without any hesitation.

"Aren't you afraid there might be poison in my instant coffee?"

Tang Li sat down at the desk, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

Lin Yiyun chuckled:

"If looks could kill, you would have died a thousand times over here. It was a pity you escaped at the hot spring, and it was also a shame last time. You're really lucky."

She is honest, though.

It was obvious they wanted to kill her.

They made no attempt to hide anything.

This forced Tang Li to ask, "Why do you hate me so much? Besides marrying Huo Chenyu and being Mrs. Huo for three years, what have I done to offend you?"

"No."

Lin Yiyun truthfully replied, "But the hatred of having one's husband stolen is irreconcilable."

No wonder he's an actor.

He speaks with a theatrical accent.

Tang Li smiled easily:

"Then what can we do? Time cannot be turned back. Even if Huo Chenyu belongs to you for the rest of his life, it cannot change the fact that he once married me."

Not only that.

"Legally, Huo Chenyu's marriage to you is his second marriage. No matter how much he loves you or how capable he is, no one can change that."

This wasn't what angered Lin Yiyun the most.

What she cared about was Huo Chenyu's heart.

If she is in his heart, what does it matter if she is a mere second-marriage woman or even if he has three thousand rivals?

Tang Li has a thousand ways to make Lin Yiyun furious.

Lin Yiyun only said one sentence:

"So I will always see you as a thorn in my side. As long as I am not comfortable, you will not have a good life. The two things that happened before were just the beginning. From now on, I will play a cat-and-mouse game with you from time to time."

Tang Li really wanted to say, "You villain in real life, you've exposed your wolfish ambitions so quickly, aren't you polite?"

Rather than considering politeness, Tang Li asked lightly:

"We live in a society governed by the rule of law. Do you really think the law is just for restraining good people?"

Lin Yiyun raised an eyebrow:

"Or what? Do you still naively believe that the law is only for punishing bad people?"

That's outrageous!

Tang Li couldn't help but ask:

"Your actions have broken the law. Aren't you afraid of ruining your promising future?"

An ordinary person with a conscience would cherish their reputation, let alone Lin Yiyun, who is a public figure. Once someone like her, who is standing on a cloud, falls, she will fall even harder.

However, Lin Yiyun did not seem to be afraid.

She didn't answer Tang Li's question directly, but instead asked with a smile:

"You seem to have an older brother named Tang Yuan, right?"

Yes, she has an older brother named Tang Yuan.

Upon hearing Lin Yiyun's question, Tang Li couldn't help but shudder.

Looking at her smile that doesn't reach her eyes, I always felt that it revealed a malicious intent.

Tang Li nodded:

"What? You've gotten tired of Huo Chenyu so quickly? You want to be my sister-in-law?"

Lin Yiyun sneered:

"He doesn't deserve it? Tang Li, you haven't seen your brother in a long time, have you? Have you been in contact recently? Do you know where he is?"

Ever since she insisted on marrying Huo Chenyu, Tang Yuan has barely paid any attention to her.

Even though the Tang family has declined, in Tang Yuan's heart, she is still the eldest daughter of the Tang family, the most precious one.

Anyone who wants to marry her must do so through proper channels.

However, Tang Li was willing to marry Huo Chenyu and kept their marriage a secret for three whole years.

Tang Yuan was truly angry at his younger sister for her lack of ambition.

In the year she got married, Tang Li would take Huo Chenyu to see Tang Yuan, hoping to ease the tension between her and her brother. However, Tang Yuan always treated Huo Chenyu coldly.

Unable to bear seeing her beloved suffer, Tang Li had no choice but to distance herself from her brother.

When he last parted on bad terms with Tang Yuan, he made a harsh statement: as long as Huo Chenyu did not give Tang Li a legitimate title, he would not acknowledge him as his brother-in-law.

Come to think of it, it has indeed been a long time since I've heard from my brother.

Tang Li didn't know what had happened to her brother, but she remained calm:

Why are you asking these questions?

Lin Yiyun looked at the phone next to her computer and said with a smile:

"Why don't you call your brother and ask where he is right now?"

Not wanting to be led by the nose by Lin Yiyun, Tang Li resolutely refused:

“This is a matter between my brother and me. If you only came here to talk to me about my brother, then please leave. It’s a private family matter and we shouldn’t discuss it with outsiders.”

Seeing Tang Li still stubbornly denying everything, Lin Yiyun smiled calmly, like a queen:

"Since you don't care about your brother at all, then just pretend I was never here tonight."

After saying that, she stood up and prepared to leave.

After walking a few steps, Lin Yiyun turned around and said to Tang Li:

"I thought that someone like you, who lost both parents, would value the bond between siblings the most. It seems I was wrong. Family ties are worthless in your eyes."

This is a provocation tactic.

Tang Li was somewhat displeased: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

She refused to speak, but insisted that Tang Li call Tang Yuan.

Tang Li made the move, and the result was unexpected.

It's a disconnected number!

Tang Yuan had been using the same phone number for almost ten years. Back then, his parents were still alive. He was a sentimental person and would only change his phone when it was really no longer working properly.

The number suddenly became invalid, which means something must have happened to Tang Yuan.

Tang Li put down her phone and asked somewhat anxiously:

"The feud between you and me has nothing to do with my brother. What did you do to my brother?"

Lin Yiyun laughed heartily:

"Tang Yuan is over thirty, isn't he? He's a man approaching forty. What can a weak woman like me do for him? You should be asking what he's done?"

That's not right.

More than two months ago, Tang Sui called Tang Yuan.

The phone should have been able to get through at that time.

Tang Li felt uneasy. Lin Yiyun noticed the unusual look on her face, so she took two steps closer and whispered:

"You don't know yet, do you? Your brother isn't in the country."

impossible!

Tang Li rejected Lin Yiyun's statement in her heart.

My brother is determined to expand and strengthen the Tang family business, so how could he possibly be out of the country at this time?

Lin Yiyun reminded her again:

"Why don't you use your great writer's mind and logic to think carefully about what would make a perfectly good person abandon everything and flee the country?"

get away?

These two words are enough to prove that Lin Yiyun knows the truth!
