“Xi Cheng, we have to prioritize the Xi family no matter what. Personal grudges, small gains and losses, and even romance are nothing in the face of that, don’t you agree?” Lin Yu said as her slightly cold hand covered Xi Cheng’s. Xi Cheng nodded and quietly uttered, “Thank you; it’s been hard on you.”
Lin Yu gave him a gratified smile. “As long as you understand where I’m coming from, such a small matter is nothing.”
After Lin Yu fell asleep, Xi Cheng left her room with mixed feelings. Lin Yu wasn’t very pretty, and currently, her family background was far from the best. However, there was no doubt that she was the most suitable person to be the Xi family’s young mistress. Some things were indeed better for her to do than doing them himself.
Xi Cheng casually looked at the news on his phone, and the headlines instantly caught his attention—’ Ye Kun actually confessed to Fang Xi in such a high-profile manner? Xi Cheng thought, blood singing in his ears, and he immediately ran out.
Lin Yu shut her eyes tiredly, thinking, ‘Now that the biggest crisis is resolved, I can finally rest for a while.’ She knew that no one gets a free ride in life; only by planning everything step-by-step can one become a winner in life. The same goes for the Lin family.
Lin Zhu and her aunt learned their lesson after Lin Zhu ended up in the police station. It was also a wake-up call for the rest of the Lin family. What her family had to understand now was that Lin Yu could do her best for them, but some things were beyond her. As the Lin family’s eldest daughter, she owed and had a responsibility to her family, so she would sacrifice a lot for them. However, all her sacrifices were based on her willingness and autonomy—no one could order her around.
As for things on the Xi family’s side, Fang Xi wasn’t a cause for concern for Lin Yu. Fang Xi was too talented; that woman would eventually make her own path in the world. Xi Cheng wasn’t worthy of her. And it wouldn’t be bad for Lin Yu if Xi Cheng and the guys’ indestructible friendship fell apart because of Fang Xi.
Lin Yu was happiest about getting rid of her biggest threat, Gu Man. Lin Yu would have nothing to fear as long as she got Gu Man kicked to the curb. Lin Yu knew she was no match for Gu Man because she had to watch her reputation; for the sake of the Lin family, she had to. However, Gu Man didn’t have that problem; she could throw away her reputation and, for the sake of the Gu family, was more than willing to do so. But now that Gu Man was kicked out, Lin Yu could rest easy.
Ye Kun walked out of the intensive care unit, looking exhausted, and took off his isolation gown while something was on his mind. Xi Cheng rushed over and punched him in the face. Caught off guard, Ye Kun staggered back until he hit the wall. When he saw that it was Xi Cheng who attacked him, Ye Kun didn’t say anything and punched Xi Cheng back in the face.
The two fought. The nurse at the side cried out in alarm and quickly called for the doctors. A group of hospital staff finally separated the two, and one of them swiftly ran off to report the incident.
The two boys panted and glared at each other, but neither said a single word. Xi
Cheng grabbed a doctor’s arm and coldly demanded, “How’s Fang Xi? I want to see Fang Xi!”
