Chapter 223: The Li Family Siblings

Having reached an agreement with Bai Qikun, Su Lin felt much more at ease. He wasn’t worried about himself, but about the girls around him.

Xiao Feiyu was a villain, and there was a possibility he could turn even worse, so Su Lin had to prepare in advance. Who knew whether he was a principled villain or one without any bottom line?

Su Lin thought it likely that Xiao Feiyu viewed the world as just a scenario, considering himself an outsider, which meant he would act without any reservations.

Before leaving, Bai Qikun curiously asked, “You’ve made arrangements for everyone around you, aren’t you afraid they’ll only come after you? Can you handle it?”

Su Lin smiled lightly; “Xiao Feiyu won’t do anything to me.”

He knew that in Xiao Feiyu’s eyes, he was the protagonist. Xiao Feiyu still needed to exploit him, so why would he seriously harm him? If it weren’t for Wang Yannian’s serious threat, he could handle it alone. Xiao Feiyu would soon realize that bringing a bodyguard wouldn’t make any real difference.

Bai Qikun wasn’t sure where Su Lin’s confidence came from, but seeing Su Lin’s demeanor, he knew he wouldn’t tell him, so he just nodded.

Su Lin quietly watched as Bai Qikun departed. Only after Bai Qikun had disappeared did Su Lin take the elevator downstairs.

Unbeknownst to him, during his meeting with Bai Qikun, two uninvited guests had arrived at the Su Corporation Building.

As Su Lin’s assistant, Lin Xiaowan faced two young people with a somewhat serious expression. The man, about twenty-five years old from the Li family in the capital, was one of the top figures among the capital’s second generation, known as “Prince Li” of the capital, Li Bowen. Sitting next to him was his younger sister, Li Shiwen.

Lin Xiaowan knew both of them, having occasionally met at gatherings during New Year visits to the capital.

Li Bowen was momentarily dazzled by Lin Xiaowan’s appearance, indeed, women change dramatically after the age of eighteen.

The Lin Xiaowan in his memory was still a tomboy, but the Lin Xiaowan before him now was graceful and poised, with a stunning figure that was hard to ignore.

“Xiaowan, I didn’t expect you to have become so beautiful after a few years,” he remarked.

Lin Xiaowan gave Li Bowen a cool glance and said, “Are you here to talk business, or to reminisce? If it’s business, you’re welcome, but if it’s reminiscing, I’m sorry, we aren’t close.”

Li Shiwen playfully hit Li Bowen and said, “Don’t mind him spouting nonsense, Xiaowan. We’re actually here to talk business, and also to check on you.”

Lin Xiaowan had a good impression of Li Shiwen and smiled, “Shiwen, I didn’t expect you to come to Donghai.”
