Chapter 238 In this world, no one loves her more than me
The phone was pressed to his ear, but the man on the other end didn't speak.
Mo Xue thought he didn't hear her, so she repeated, "She discovered the camera you asked me to install in Lin Yan's room."
After a few seconds, the man's calm voice came: "Yeah, I know."
Mo Xue thought he would at least panic or ask for details, but there was not even a ripple in his tone, as if Lin Yan's discovery was already within his expectations.
She calmed herself down and suppressed the strange feeling in her heart: "Xing Yu will go to the drug rehabilitation hospital tomorrow. If you want to do something, take this opportunity to do it."
"No rush, I have a plan." The man's voice was full of planning. "When the time comes, I'll tell you in advance so you can be prepared."
"Okay." Mo Xue responded, her fingertips hovering on the hang-up button, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something.
The light from the street lamp slanted down on her face, half bright and half dark, just like her conflicted mood at the moment.
She knew that his obsession with Lin Yan had grown from a glimmer hidden in his eyes to a raging wildfire.
But she could not forget that Lin Yan had accompanied her to plastic surgery and rehabilitation over the past year, she could not forget that when she had a fever half a year ago, Lin Yan ran to three pharmacies in the middle of the night to buy medicine for her, and she could not forget that she had encouraged her time and time again to get out of the haze of the past.
Those warm feelings, like stones thrown into a pond, created ripples in her heart.
She didn't hang up immediately. Her voice was as low as a mosquito, and she said in a timid tone that even she found ridiculous: "Lin Yan... is very good to me. I know you want her. But can you... not hurt her?"
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to pause for a moment, and then a light laugh sounded. No emotion could be heard in that laugh: "Do you think I will hurt her?"
Mo Xue didn't respond.
"Mo Xue." The man's voice deepened and he continued.
"No one in this world loves her more than I do. Everything I endure now is just to get her. When I clear all obstacles, I will take her to a place where no one can disturb us. Let her know that choosing me... is the best decision."
"Yeah." Just as I was about to hang up the phone, a slightly oppressive voice came from the other end.
"Mo Xue, you can be kind, but you can't be soft-hearted. You don't have to feel guilty. You didn't do anything to hurt Lin Yan. I asked you to secretly install the camera, but I just wanted to see more of her. I didn't have any other bad intentions."
"There's one thing you have to remember. Your grandma is still in my hands. She's old and can't stand the tossing and turning. You two depend on each other and have a good relationship. Grandma is everything to you. So, you know what to do, right? You also know what to say and what not to say, right?"
A cold wind blew in Mo Xue's face, hitting her pale face. She gripped the phone a little harder: "I know..."
"That's right. Wait until I'm really with Yanyan. I'll give you some money and send you and your grandma abroad. Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, I will take good care of your grandma."
After hanging up the phone, Mo Xue looked up at the floor where Lin Yan was. The lights in the living room were still on, and the halo of light shone through the balcony. She seemed to be able to imagine Lin Yan's happy face chatting with Xing Yu on the sofa at this moment.
Lin Yan finally got together with Xing Yu, but now...
There was no way she could gamble.
Nothing can compare to her grandma...
Mo Xue took a deep breath, retracted her gaze, stood up and walked out of the community.
…
Sunrise and sunset, time passes.
Since Xing Yu went to the drug rehabilitation hospital, Lin Yan began to return to her solitary life.
I put almost all my thoughts into work.
The dim light of early morning shines through the gauze curtains onto Lin Yan.
She stood in front of the dressing mirror, her fingertips brushing the collar of her off-white suit, adjusting her appearance.
After packing, she stuffed her laptop into her leather briefcase, grabbed her coat, and set off for Manzun.
Today is the bidding meeting that affects the business community in northern Beijing, and she was sent by Lu Linfeng to be the translator for Mr. Shang.
Lu Linfeng suddenly informed her of this task yesterday, and she couldn't refuse because it was a work matter.
She went downstairs with her bag in hand. As the elevator reached the first floor, it made a soft "ding" sound, and then she saw a familiar figure in the lobby.
Lu Linfeng was wearing a dark brown suit and standing tall a few meters away. The morning light fell on him, as soft as a painting.
"Mr. Lu?" Lin Yan walked forward with some surprise: "Why are you here?"
Lu Linfeng turned around, a gentle smile spread across his face: "I'm going to Manzun too, it's on my way."
"No need, Mr. Lu, I can drive there myself." Lu Linfeng's home was not in the same direction as hers, and "on the way" was obviously an excuse.
Lu Linfeng raised his hand and glanced at his watch: "Lin Yan, Mr. Shang's bidding meeting is very important, don't be late."
Lin Yan was afraid of making mistakes, so she finally got in the car.
"Are you nervous?" Lu Linfeng started the car, glanced sideways at her, and said casually, "Besides the bigwigs from Beijing, there are also several overseas EU companies participating in the bidding meeting today. Just perform as usual."
Lin Yan looked at the street scene passing by outside the window and said calmly: "I'm not nervous."
"Yes, with your work experience, you can handle larger situations."
"..." Lin Yan could feel that Lu Linfeng wanted to find a topic to chat with her, but it was inexplicably awkward.
Forty minutes later, they arrived at Manzun.
When we arrived at the lobby, the crystal chandeliers were as bright as the stars. Waiters in formal attire were carrying trays and moving among the crowd. Everyone had a smile on their face, but their eyes were filled with ambition for this bid.
Suddenly, my eyes caught a familiar figure.
Not far away, Song Yanzheng, dressed in a dark grey haute couture suit, was chatting with several business seniors.
Noticing her gaze, he turned and saw her.
He immediately ended the conversation and walked towards her.
"Yan Yan." Song Yanzheng stopped in front of her, his voice filled with uncontrollable joy: "Why are you here?"
Lin Yan turned away, her tone cold: "I am Mr. Shang's translator today."
"Mr. Shang?" Song Yanzheng said, "Yan Yan, are you familiar with Mr. Shang?"
"Not familiar, just a work relationship."
"Yan Yan, build a good relationship with Mr. Shang. It will be helpful to your career in the future."
Lin Yan was annoyed by the preaching.
"I have something to do. I'm leaving now."
"Yan Yan, I'll treat you to a meal after the bidding is over."
"No thanks." Lin Yan walked around him and headed for the elevator with her bag. "I'm going to get ready."
But he grabbed my wrist.
Song Yanzheng's palms were burning hot: "Yan Yan, how long has it been since we had a meal together?"
Lin Yan struggled hard, her brows furrowed. "Song Yanzheng, this is a public place."
Song Yanzheng looked down at her and said, "If you promise me, I will let you go."
Amidst the stalemate, a steady voice interrupted: "Mr. Song."
Lu Linfeng walked up to them at some point. He didn't touch Song Yanzheng, but just slightly turned sideways to block Lin Yan.
Song Yanzheng raised his eyes to look at Lu Linfeng, his gaze sweeping over his well-ironed suit and the famous watch on his wrist. He then let go of Lin Yan and smiled, "Mr. Lu from Huasheng? I've heard a lot about you."
Lu Linfeng: "I've heard a lot about you."
The two people's eyes clashed in the air.
Lin Yan ignored them and walked quickly towards the elevator.
Before entering the elevator, Lu Linfeng caught up.
Song Yanzheng watched them enter the elevator one after another, gently pushed his glasses, and a sinister light reflected in his eyes.
The elevator door slowly closed. Lu Linfeng was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Lin Yan, do you know Mr. Song from Xing Corporation?"
Lin Yan responded casually: "I know him, but I'm not familiar with him."
