Chapter 937: Finale (9)
Chi Hailang didn’t quite understand.
Li Beinian then said, “You know the relations.h.i.+p between Lin Ya and Mu Donglin – even if you ignored the fact that they’re in-laws, they have always been business partners.”
“Ah… I see.”
Chi Hailang really knew nothing.
Lin Yuxin had never told him much about what went on in her family.
When they first started dating, he thought that she was from an ordinary family.
It wasn’t until… he got into a fight and went to the police station and saw the police treating Lin Ya respectfully, that he realized her family… was rather powerful.
“But now?” Li Beinian threw a sidelong glanced at him. “Lin Ya had contributed significantly to Mu Donglin’s success.”
Chi Hailang paused.
“If your brother-in-law hadn’t had his reservations and turned the tables, the person being executed wouldn’t have been Mu Donglin.”
Chi Hailang widened his eyes. “Could it be…”
“Uh huh.”
Chi Hailang found it hard to believe. “No way, Lin Ya seems like such a decent person…”
“You’re still young. There are some things that you wouldn’t understand even if I told you.” Li Beinian patted his shoulder and said meaningfully, “But about you and Lin Yuxin…”
Chi Hailang had a bad feeling.
Mu Donglin had been executed, and now Lin Ya was in trouble.
Given what Li Beinian had said, Lin Ya’s fall would have everything to do with his brother-in-law.
And the fact that he was Li Beinian’s brother… wouldn’t that mean an end to his relations.h.i.+p with Lin Yuxin?
Chi Hailang briefly shared this thought. Li Beinian pondered for a moment and said, “You’ll just have to see where fate leads you.”
Chi Hailang was on the verge of tears.
What had he done to deserve this?
Their relations.h.i.+p was sailing smoothly, but now, without a warning, they were on the verge of a crisis?
When Li Beinian noticed his expression, she smiled and said, “It’s alright. Be mentally prepared and communicate more with her. A elations.h.i.+p is between two people.”
Chi Hailang wailed.
Soon, they arrived home.
Chi Dali and Tang Xiaoge were busy whipping up a storm in the kitchen. They had timed themselves well and by the time they were about to set the last dish on the table, the doorbell rang.
Tang Xiaoge was slicing fruits so Chi Dali untied his ap.r.o.n and shouted, “Coming, coming!”
However, Will interrupted and said, “I’ll do it.”
Will and Nico were sitting in the living room and were equally happy to hear the doorbell ring.
It was summer now and Nico was in light, casual clothes, and Will was similarly dressed.
However, with his upright posture and gentlemanly figure, no matter how simple his clothes were, they could not conceal his n.o.ble aura.
Will opened the door and immediately, the sight of Li Beinian greeted him.
When Li Beinian saw Will, her eyes lit up. “Uncle Will?”
When Will heard how she had addressed him, the laugh lines on his face deepened as he broke into a smile. He lowered his head in satisfaction and respect as he greeted them, “Miss, Mr. Mu.”
Li Beinian’s gaze subconsciously wandered past Will.
Sure enough, Nico was there too!
Li Beinian immediately dashed in and shouted, “Daddy!”
Nico laughed happily and stood up with his arms wide open. “My Beinian, Daddy misses you so much.”
Tang Xiaoge came out with the cut fruits and was a little jealous seeing this. She said sourly, “You don’t want a G.o.dmother now that you have a biological father?”
“Of course not!” Li Beinian let go of Nico and immediately went up to her in a fawning manner. She threw her arms around Tang Xiaoge’s chubby body and said coquettishly, “Mom, how could that be? Mom will always be Mom.” Then, she turned to look at Chi Dali. “Dad, I’m back!”
