Chapter 153 - 153: She Was Even More Dismissive Of That Kind Of Ant
“Then you don’t have to say anything. Just take a screenshot and show me where you went today.”
Lin Wanli had checked on H. The software showed that Huo Jiuxiao had only stayed in Diheng since this morning. Lin Wanli suspected that he did not bring his phone out on purpose.
Song Huaishu thought about it carefully and sent Lin Wanli a screenshot of all the records on the GPS today. This way, he wouldn’t be disobeying Huo Jiuxiao’s orders. Anyway, he didn’t say anything. He didn’t know if Madam could understand what he meant.
Lin Wanli received the screenshot and flipped through it. She found the Juxi Medical Research Laboratory. There were also bracketed words followed by the words ‘Specialization in Hearing Reconstruction’. Lin Wanli understood and didn’t ask further.
Although her heart ached, she had never felt that a person could truly empathize with another person’s pain. What one could feel was only one-thousandth of the person involved. So she took a deep breath and adjusted her breathing, pretending that nothing had happened.
Lin’s Group Building, Chairman’s Office.
At this moment, the new person in charge of the Public Relations Department was discussing matters in front of the Old Madam.
As the previous person in charge was too over-the-top and handled matters with emotions, the old lady dismissed him and found a more professional person to replace him.
“Chairman, I’ve found some reports and videos of Miss Lin Wanli from overseas. I’ve read them carefully and found that her style of handling matters after returning to China is already very reserved. Just as some of the comments have said, what she’s throwing out now may be just what she wants you to see, but we have no way of seeing what she’s hiding.”
“Based on her personal ability, I think that if Miss Ye Zhenzhen continues to fight against her, she will have no chance of survival. If Miss Lin takes another step forward, Miss Ye Zhenzhen will be destroyed. Because she looks weak, but she’s actually very tough. Many people are tricked by her weak appearance. Didn’t we misjudge her a lot because of this? Therefore, my suggestion is that we try our best to reconcile with her if possible.”
“It’s not only because it’s beneficial to us, but also because of Miss Lin’s ability and the resources she has. Chairman, do you understand what I mean?”
“Compromise? How can it be easy?” Old Mrs. Han snorted, “She sees the Lin family as her enemy now, and we have had a few bad encounters.”
“Chairman, it depends on whether you’re willing to do it,” hinted the manager.
At the same time, in the hotel, after Ye Zhenzhen’s begging, the Zhou family reluctantly agreed to release a public relations document to stop the rumors from spreading. As for the details of the wedding, they had to find another time to discuss it with Old Madam Lin so that Ye Zhenzhen could catch her breath.
After the two families reached a preliminary agreement, Ye Weiyin brought Ye Zhenzhen back to the Lin family.
When the old lady saw their expressions, she knew that today’s matter had not been handled smoothly.
Ye Weiyin told the old lady about the Zhou family’s request. She thought that the old lady would be angry, but the old lady didn’t care. She just said, “They’re a small family, is there a need to waste your breath arguing? Whatever request the Zhou family made, we just need to agree to it.”
“Mom, I just don’t think it’s worth it. That family is despicable and shameless.”
“If you fall out with them now, won’t they be insatiable?” The old lady snorted, “Weiyin, why are you always fussing over such trivial matters? If a person’s virtue does not match their status, they will inevitably encounter a disaster. The more things the Zhou Group wants, the greater the backlash will be.” Ye Weiyin was speechless.
“Zhenzhen, it’s good that you accept this marriage. When a person has nothing, it is the beginning of her growth. I, your grandmother, have never relied on a man. Am I not successful and famous now? Therefore, I hope that the two of you will remember the humiliation of these two days and completely calm down. Because what I’m going to do next might make you feel even more wronged. I plan to publicly invite Lin Xueyi and Lin Wanli to my house. You and your daughter will personally apologize to them and break the ice with them.”
Hearing that, Ye Zhenzhen looked at the old lady in disbelief. Her eyes were filled with unwillingness.
However, Ye Weiyin understood the old lady’s intention.
“Grandma, I can’t do it!”
“You can do it!” The old lady looked at her sternly and said, “Many things have already been put on the table. Lin Wanli’s shrewdness and tactics are far above yours. If you don’t kneel down and apologize, she will pursue you relentlessly.
What do you think will happen to you at the family recognition banquet then? It’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. The only thing you can do now is to endure.”
“Why do you always have to sacrifice me?” Ye Zhenzhen cried.
“I’ve long been prepared to hand over the largest international branch to you. If you keep being trampled under Lin Wanli’s feet and scandals keep popping up, how are you going to run the company?” The old lady asked and then she continued, “If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. You schemed viciously and hurt yourself. You turned Lin Wanli into a monster.”
“Mom is right. Xueyi and I are flesh and blood after all. If we continue to have internal conflicts, we will only be a joke to outsiders. Besides, Zhenzhen was the one who had let Wanli down in the first place. If apologizing can resolve the knot in our hearts, I’m willing to do so.” Ye Weiyin said, “It’s just that… Mom, with Wanli’s current temper, I’m afraid she won’t agree to a settlement so easily.”
This was indeed what Lin Wanli wanted, but she would never believe that the
Ye family’s mother and daughter would admit their mistakes from the bottom of their hearts. Because the old lady didn’t know that Lin Wanli had experienced two lifetimes. She couldn’t have any illusions about the Ye family’s mother and daughter.
However, if they really knelt down and apologized to her publicly, she would accept it.
“Grandma, I don’t want to kneel…
This time, Old Madam Lin was really angry. She slammed the table and stood up. “You don’t want anything, and you can’t do anything well. Do you Imow that in order to protect you, I’ve already risked my old face time and time again?” “Mom, don’t be angry.” Ye Weiyin quickly patted the old lady’s back.
“After the joint statement between you and the Zhou family is released, I’ll get someone to spread the news and invite the mother and daughter over for a meal to show their goodwill. Whether or not Lin Wanli will let you off depends on you.”
Ye Zhenzhen only cried and did not say anything after hearing that.
It was fine if she had to marry a man she hated, but now she had to kneel down and apologize to Lin Wanli.
This was worse than killing her.
The reason why the old lady was willing to change the direction of the wind was because she realized how many mistakes she had made after underestimating Lin Wanli. If she had known that Lin Wanli had hidden her ability so deeply from the beginning, she would not have fallen out with the Lin family’s mother and daughter. Instead, she would have kept the mother and daughter by her side and slowly dug it out of them.
In the end, it was Lin Wanli who had predicted everyone’s thoughts and knew their reactions. That was why today’s situation had happened.
She had the upper hand alone, and no one could catch up to her.
And that laughable Zhou family thought that they were outsiders, uninvolved in this matter.
Well, it was true in a way. They were practically ants that she could not even be bothered to look at..
