Lin Qingtong pursed her red lips, feeling that it was somewhat unlikely. How could Shen Tinghe give up such huge benefits for her?
He's not that kind of person.
But faced with reality, Lin Qingtong had to admit that for a moment, her heart was even more confused.
"Since there's a dispute, how dare you sell it? If something goes wrong with my purchase of this land, do you think your Huo family will have a good reputation?"
Despite her inner turmoil, she maintained a calm and composed demeanor while questioning him.
Huo Xingyu could only smile helplessly and agree, "This matter is indeed the fault of our Shen family, so now I am the one to represent them and handle this matter."
"I originally wanted to contact Shen Tinghe, but I couldn't get through to him on the phone, and your name wasn't on the list, so I thought I'd wait here for a while."
"I never thought I'd actually get to see you."
After he finished speaking, his deep eyes shone with a starlight-like brilliance.
Lin Qingtong remained unmoved, offering only a calm reply.
"So how do you plan to compensate me for my losses? You should know that Master Shen is not someone you can easily offend."
Huo Xingyu shrugged, then suddenly remembered something and said mysteriously to Lin Qingtong.
"But in a few days, you probably won't have this worry anymore."
Lin Qingtong didn't quite understand what he meant, so she continued to ask.
"Is something going to happen in a few days? How do you know?"
Her sharp, cold gaze was fixed on Huo Xingyu before her, as if she knew everything.
Huo Xingyu chuckled and stepped back, behind him was a barren, golden meadow.
"It's a secret; you'll find out when the time comes."
He left after saying just one sentence, his departing figure carrying a strange sense of joy.
Lin Qingtong didn't quite understand. Standing under the empty sunset, the wind blowing her skirt added to her loneliness.
The next second, a rapid, anxious ringtone broke the surrounding silence.
After she answered the phone, she heard an anxious voice on the other end.
"Tongtong, come back quickly! Someone is trying to break into the manor."
Upon hearing Su Wanjun's words, Lin Qingtong's heart skipped a beat, and she vaguely sensed an unease.
"I'm coming back right now, Mom. You promise to stay safe, okay?"
Although Su Wanjun's voice trembled slightly, she still nodded in agreement.
"I understand. I'll be careful. There are plenty of bodyguards here, but there are a lot of onlookers right now."
"Huo Cheng? What brings you here?"
Su Wanjun quickly explained to Lin Qingtong, "Take your time coming back, there's no rush. Your Uncle Huo Cheng is here."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong immediately pictured Huo Cheng's reliable demeanor, which reassured her considerably.
With him around, at least his mother's safety can be guaranteed.
So Lin Qingtong drove towards Wutong Manor.
The vehicles were parked outside the manor, and the area in front of the gate was crowded with people.
Because this gate is some distance from the museum, there aren't many tourists.
This is also the door that Lin Qingtong often uses.
She opened the car door, approached in her high heels, exuding an aura that was both cold and chilling.
Lin Qingtong walked straight past the crowd and appeared in front of them, only then was she able to see clearly who the troublemakers were.
Leading the group were none other than Second Master Shen and Lin Jiaorui, along with several unfamiliar young men and women.
Among the unfamiliar faces was a girl with curly hair, who stood with her hands on her hips and started cursing at Su Wanjun inside the restaurant.
"I've never seen such a shameless old woman as you. You're living in someone else's house and don't want to leave. It's a laughing stock."
Su Wanjun stood inside the door, his body trembling slightly, but he still clenched his fists and coldly retorted to the girl with the curly hair.
"Don't talk nonsense here. This manor belongs to my daughter. You can check the name if you don't believe me."
The girl with the curly hair snorted, "Just because you wrote your names on it doesn't mean it's yours. This was built by my uncle."
“My uncle is not divorced yet, and his property is related to us younger generations. You and your mother are divorced and have nowhere to live. It was because my uncle felt sorry for you that he let you move in.”
"I never expected you to usurp the Wutong Manor, shamelessly occupying it and even swearing it's yours. Can you even afford it?"
It was only then that Lin Qingtong recognized the girl with the curly hair as Shen Tingting, Shen Tinghe's niece.
Shen Tingting is a true heiress, known for her spoiled and arrogant personality, and is quite famous online.
But they're all bad.
Su Wanjun was furious. Although Shen Tinghe had forced Lin Qingtong to give her the Wutong Manor, she had already instructed that if they broke up, the manor must be returned.
However, this is on the premise that the other party has not done anything despicable or offensive.
Since leaving Lin Yan and being free from his manipulative tactics, Su Wanjun feels much more vibrant and clear-headed.
Things that I couldn't understand before now seem to be clearly laid out before me.
If it's hers, no one can take it away from her.
Just as she was about to say something, she turned her head and saw Lin Qingtong standing in the crowd. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she called out to her.
"Tongtong."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong stepped forward, pushed open the door to enter the manor, and placed her slender, delicate fingers on the iron gate, extending an invitation with a frank yet serious demeanor.
"Since you want to come in, I'll grant your wish. You can explain it yourselves when Tinghe returns."
She calmly looked at the group of people in front of her, as if she was absolutely certain that they were afraid of Shen Tinghe and dared not come in at all.
