(374)
Ye Wenyu pondered for a moment. If she had any doubts about Cai Wenchuan and Lin Tingyue, she could simply go to Lin Tingfeng and ask him for clarification. However, after a while, she decided not to go to Lin Tingfeng.
Since she had already decided to sever all ties with the Lin family, it would be extremely foolish for her to take the initiative to seek out Lin Tingfeng again.
However, in the previous life—
Perhaps it was because she encountered Lin Tingfeng on the forest path today that Ye Wenyu couldn't help but recall the details of her interactions with Lin Tingfeng in her previous life in this late spring night.
In their previous life, the two of them went on a trip to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand during the Spring Festival holiday. In Thailand, she almost lost her life because of a pillar on the beach, but Lin Tingfeng risked his life to save her.
Their relationship quickly blossomed, like a couple on their honeymoon. They went to Singapore and then Malaysia together and had a wonderful time.
Finally, I returned on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the group officially resumed work. Since there were still about ten days before the start of the new school term, Ye Wenyu decided to continue her internship at the Lin Group.
Because they had a good rest during the Spring Festival holiday, Lin Tingfeng and Ye Wenyu were both very energetic when they returned to work. Ye Wenyu was promoted, so working in the secretarial group was like having a cheat code. She was in a great mood every day, walked as if she were on springs, became more and more beautiful, and did her work more and more smoothly.
In short, everything went as smoothly as if you were riding a roulette wheel.
On this day, as she was engrossed in her work in her cubicle, Linda suddenly approached her with a mysterious and nervous air and whispered, "Mrs. Lin is here."
Madam Lin? Ye Wenyu looked up abruptly. Which Madam Lin? Could it be Lin Tingfeng's wife?
She felt a "thud" and all the blood flowed out from the soles of her feet. Her body turned cold in an instant. Was she, the mistress, finally going to be exposed to the public?
Did Lin Tingfeng's wife hear something and come to the Lin Group to confront him?
Ye Wenyu's face was as pale as a corpse. She sat in her cubicle as if petrified, her body motionless.
Her mind raced with news stories she'd seen over the years about wives beating mistresses, and her heart pounded like a rabbit's—images of hair being ripped off, clothes being stripped off, paint being thrown on doors, and even being maimed or killed in the street.
Extreme fear gripped her heart, leaving her mind blank.
Will she end up in such a terrible situation?
Ye Wenyu felt like she couldn't breathe, as if an invisible hand was choking her trachea.
"Come to the secretariat in half an hour. Get ready," Linda said softly, then turned and hurried away.
Ye Wenyu sat there dumbfounded. She was supposed to come to the secretariat in half an hour, and then be publicly pulled by the hair, stripped naked, and slapped?
Should she run away now?
Overwhelmed by fear and shame, her face flushed inexplicably, like a rooster's comb. She had always hated her status as a mistress and lover, living in deep regret and self-blame. She was always afraid that she would be punished one day for hurting others.
Now the retribution has come!
She thought painfully to herself that she must leave Lin Tingfeng as soon as possible, she absolutely must leave! She would never allow herself to live her whole life with such a shameful identity!
Half an hour felt like an eternity to Ye Wenyu. The other colleagues in the secretarial team, eager to welcome Madam Lin, were diligently cleaning, working like bees—some sweeping, some mopping, some tidying the cubicles. Everyone was as busy as ants. However, Ye Wenyu, usually the most diligent, was overcome with fear; her legs felt like cotton, powerless, and she couldn't even stand. So she remained hunched over her cubicle, motionless like a stone statue.
She wanted to escape, but firstly, she couldn't move, and secondly, what would Lin Tingfeng think if she left work halfway through?
She felt as if she had been in a cold cellar for a long time; her hands and feet were icy cold.
In short, amidst Ye Wenyu's wild thoughts, she ultimately did not flee like a timid rabbit, but remained in the secretariat. She thought to herself, what's meant to happen will happen, so let the storm rage on! Perhaps Madam Lin's beating, tearing her hair and clothes off her, would instantly bring her to her senses, allowing her to resolutely break with Lin Tingfeng and start a new life.
After all, their trip together during the Spring Festival holiday had deepened her feelings for Lin Tingfeng, and falling into this state was like sinking into the deep sea alone, which was extremely dangerous!
Therefore, with this in mind, Ye Wenyu did not leave.
Half an hour finally passed, and footsteps echoed in the corridor outside the secretarial group, one after another, the sound of high heels clicking on the ground. "Thump, thump, thump," each sound seemed to strike Ye Wenyu's heart, causing her heart to shrink painfully.
Her palms and back were sweating profusely. She pursed her lips tightly, her face was as pale as a corpse, and her whole body was tense as a string, preparing and waiting.
She felt as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, and she had no strength left in her body. Her two hands, which were resting on her desk, were trembling uncontrollably.
My mind went blank, and my ears were buzzing as if a million bees were flying by.
Time flowed very slowly, so slowly that it seemed to stand still.
The door finally opened, and the entire secretariat stood up respectfully. Ye Wenyu also struggled to her feet, holding onto the edge of the table. Her head was down, and her legs were like noodles, trembling.
A violent storm is coming.
"Good day, Madam!"
The secretarial team members greeted us warmly with bows.
Ye Wenyu felt as if the air in the office had suddenly frozen, as if all the oxygen had been depleted. She felt like a fish that had been cruelly thrown ashore, awaiting the judgment of fate.
Being pointed at and called a homewrecker who ruins someone else's family happiness is the greatest humiliation that's about to befall you!
"Hello—" A familiar, aged voice rang out, and Ye Wenyu was stunned. Madam Lin? Old Madam Lin?! She suddenly looked up and sure enough, it was Old Madam Lin. She was looking at her with a loving expression, her smiling eyes full of joy and appreciation.
It was actually Old Madam Lin who arrived!
Damn it! Ye Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief, only then realizing that her entire back was soaked with sweat. Finally, the blood in her body began to flow again, and her hands and feet began to warm up.
So tired. It felt like she had completed a long march in just half an hour. Ye Wenyu was exhausted beyond words.
Lin Tingfeng stood behind his mother, smiling slightly at her. Ye Wenyu blushed, realizing how foolish she had been. If it really had been Lin Tingfeng's wife, he would have informed her beforehand. Since he hadn't, she should have assumed it was Old Madam Lin.
Perhaps it was because she was too nervous and felt too guilty that when she heard the words "Mrs. Lin," she thought of Lin Tingfeng's wife.
