845 Hugging (1/2)
”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 constitutions 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 identity, do you understand?” Old Master Lin said in a serious manner.
Lin Xuanyin nodded. This savior identity 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?”
