“Dad, we can’t give you any joy and so we won’t be going over.”
Old Master Lin’s face instantly became frosty. Even after all of these years, Lin Xuanji had not changed at all. She was still as disobedient as ever.
“Mo’er, Chenyi, let’s go.”
With that, Lin Xuanji left with Tang Mo’er and Tang Chenyi.
…
After they had left, Lin Xuanyin promptly clutched at Old Master Lin. “Dad, Jinwen has already divorced me. What should I do now?”
Old Master Lin gave a laugh. “Lu Jinwen has already invested in DHA and he will support the Lin Family for life. Moreover, you’ll be going for your heart transplant operation tomorrow and you’ll be a normal person afterwards. You’ll have tons of money to spend lavishly, and so this marriage has given you such great returns. Which man can provide you with all of this?”
“But I love Jinwen…”
Old Master Lin promptly glanced at Lin Xuanyin. “Xuanyin, you ought to know your limits. You can covet Lu Jinwen’s riches but don’t think about getting his heart.
“And the most important thing is that you were not the one who saved him that year. What hold or right do you even have? Your heart condition was not due to saving him, rather, it is a congenital condition. Your sister and you have unique const.i.tutions and it would be hard to find a compatible heart for transplant. Now Lu Jinwen has finally found one for you, even without you having contributed anything you can still enjoy everything. Isn’t that sufficient for you?”
Lin Xuanyin knew that this old man wanted to have a stake in Lu Jinwen’s corporation in Capital. Now that he had obtained what he wanted, he hoped that she would not create trouble. He simply did not care about his daughters’ happiness.
But it was true that she should be contented with what she had. She had not contributed anything, but she had been Mrs Lu for so many years.
Lu Jinwen had given her a substantial amount of alimony for the divorce and had prepared a heart transplant operation for her. She had enjoyed many privileges.
“Dad, then who actually saved Lu Jinwen that year?” Lin Xuanyin asked in curiosity.
Old Master Lin shook his head. “No idea.”
That year, Lin Xuanji had asked Lu Jinwen to meet her at Bangkok Number 1 via a note. Old Master Lin had asked the messenger to tamper with the note and changed 1 to 7.
He had arranged for Lu Jinwen to meet Xuanji at Bangkok Number 7, which was akin to the valley of death.
Even though he did not have a son, he had a very exceptional daughter. The Young Master of the extremely powerful and influential Lu Family, whom many ladies had gone crazy over, had fallen in love with his daughter, Xuanji.
Lu Jinwen would definitely meet her.
Lu Jinwen had indeed turned up for the meet-up, but he had gone to Bangkok Number 7 and got himself poisoned.
Actually, Old Master Lin had arranged for Xuanyin to wait there. He wanted Xuanyin to save Lu Jinwen, but there was a blunder in his plan.
Lu Jinwen had waited for a day and night before leaving through the North Gate. Xuanyin was waiting at the South Gate. By that point in time, Lu Jinwen had already fainted and was rescued by someone.
When Xuanyin rushed over, the poison in Lu Jinwen’s body had been sucked away and he had woken. Like that, Xuanyin became Lu Jinwen’s savior. Lu Jinwen and Xuanji decided to break up and distance themselves from each other.
Hence, even Old Master Lin himself was not sure as to who had saved Lu Jinwen.
“Xuanyin, it’s not important to know who saved Lu Jinwen. You only have to remember that you were Lu Jinwen’s savior. You can’t lose this ident.i.ty, do you understand?” Old Master Lin said in a serious manner.
Lin Xuanyin nodded. This savior ident.i.ty was their trump card and she could not afford to lose it.
But she had a very daring thought. “Dad, could it be that… Xuanji saved Jinwen?”
Old Master Lin promptly looked at Lin Xuanyin. “That’s not possible. If Xuanji had saved Lu Jinwen, how is it that her health was fine all these years?”
That was right. Lin Xuanji had survived after consuming the ‘Gelsemium elegans’ and jumping into the sea. How could she have saved Lu Jinwen?
A sense of relief washed over Lin Xuanyin.
“Xuanyin, have a good rest. You’ll be undergoing the heart transplant operation tomorrow. We can discuss any matters again after the operation, including Xuanji’s son, Tang Chenyi…”
At the mention of Tang Chenyi, a murderous rage flashed across Old Master Lin’s eyes.
…
In the apartment.
Lin Xuanji returned to her own room. Tang Mo’er asked, “Mom, is your heart hurting again?”
Lin Xuanji grasped Tang Mo’er’s delicate hand. “Mo’er, I know how the condition of my own health. You should focus your energy on King-back. King-back is in partners.h.i.+p with C.T now, and the first series of jewelry will be released soon. Mom will accompany you and Chenyi.”
“Mm.” Tang Mo’er nodded her head vehemently. She stretched her slender arms out to hug Lin Xuanji and smelled her mother’s fragrance. She was behaving like a clingy child. “Mom, I love you.”
At this moment, they heard a flurry of footsteps and Tang Chenyi entered the room. He handed a spray over to Lin Xuanji. “Mom, this is the ‘Gelsemium elegans’ spray and it can help to suppress the toxins in your heart, thereby slowing down the process of deterioration. However, throughout these years, your heart has developed immunity to the ‘Gelsemium elegans’ and your heart will deteriorate even faster. If we don’t arrange for a heart transplant soon, I’m afraid…”
Lin Xuanji received the spray. “I have my own plans. It’s late now. Mo’er, Chenyi, both of you can go back to rest.”
After Tang Mo’er and Tang Chenyi left, Lin Xuanji took a hot shower and came out of the bathroom in her pajamas. Just then, she received a message with an image from Lu Jinwen.
She opened the message. There was a photograph.
Lu Jinwen was leaning indolently against the sofa and holding a wine gla.s.s in the luxurious private room at the CC Bar. He was flanked by two beautiful and young women, one of them was innocent and the other was s.e.xy. They looked to be only in their twenties.
This photograph showed him embracing women on his left and right.
So he had sent it over for her to see.
Lin Xuanji glanced at it and her pale face was devoid of expression. Just then, there was a metallic taste in her throat. She touched her lips and realized she was bleeding again.
She closed her eyes gently and switched off her phone.
Hunching over her body in pain from the strong contractions of her heart. She used the spray and laid on the bed.
The toxins of the “Gelsemium elegans’ and the poison in her body were fighting against each other. She rolled over and curled herself up.
She wanted to live longer for her Mo’er and Chenyi. This lifetime was too short for her and it was filled with too many regrets.
…
Tang Mo’er was about to return to her room when she received a WeChat message.
She whipped out her cell phone to take a look. Niuniu had sent her a message – Fairy Sister, my Daddy has brought me to the bar.
Soon later, Niuniu sent her a photograph. On the sofa at the CC Bar, there was a fat man hugging and kissing a woman.
– Fairy Sister, are they kissing?
Tang Mo’er’s pristine eyes narrowed. It was already nine o’clock at night and Gu Mohan had actually brought Niuniu to the bar?!
