1074 Perplexed and Smitten 134 (1/2)

Lin Mingxi watched her leave with tears in her eyes, overwhelmed with sympathy for her sister.

She called Gu Beicheng to explain the situation to him. Gu Beicheng then suggested that she discuss this with her parents. Clearly, her parents were still in the dark about it.

Lin Mingxi heeded his advice and informed her parents about it. To her surprise, her parents were far less agitated than she had imagined. They constantly said that what mattered most was that she was safe and that they could always just earn the money back again.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin decided to look Lin Mingyuan up, thinking to themselves that she was probably grief-stricken and terribly upset. They wanted to counsel her and give her some advice. Lin Mingxi supported her parents' decision.

Twenty minutes after Lin Mingyuan left, a courier delivered a parcel to Lin Mingxi's home.

Lin Mingxi opened the rectangular box, only to see that it contained a few documents, the official company stamp, as well as a letter.

She decided to open the letter first.

It read: \”I took two days to write this letter and I've decided to send it to you. I've made too many mistakes, and I've never treated you, Father, and Mother genuinely with all my heart. I still hope that I can do something for you guys to atone for my mistakes. One of these documents is an authorization letter. I hope you'll do everything in your power to get the money back and return it to Father and Mother. I can't do my part as their daughter anymore. I want them to have a peaceful retirement. I'm giving you my house and car, and I've also transferred to you the remaining amount of savings that I have in my account. I'll have to depend on you to take care of our parents from now on. Mingxi, I've done you, Father, and Mother wrong.\”

Lin Mingxi's heart grew heavier, and she put the later away before walking away hurriedly. When she was halfway through the journey, she received a call from her mother.

Mrs. Lin was bawling over the phone while telling her that Lin Mingyuan had poisoned herself to death at home.

Her words were like a bolt out of the blue that struck Lin Mingxi hard.

She's dead?

By the time she'd rushed there, Mrs. Lin had already been sent to the hospital because she had fainted due to agitation. Mr. Lin accompanied her to the hospital while the Lin family butler carried Lin Mingyuan's corpse back to the Lin family mansion.

Lin Mingxi stood in Lin Mingyuan's home and stared at the photos of her wedding as tears welled up in her eyes.

The Lin Mingyuan she knew was competitive and overbearingly haughty.

She had always been power-hungry and would do everything she could to be the champion and leader of success, be it in her career or within her family. She was the classic example of an able woman.

Due to the fact that she was excessively career-minded, she had been childless for years after marrying her husband.

If Lin Mingyuan had not shown up all of sudden at the Gu family mansion in a disheveled state, Lin Mingxi would have thought that her sister was still living a glamorous life of luxury and was still her self-righteous and arrogant self.

\”Mingxi…\” said Gu Beicheng. She turned around and walked toward him.

\”She committed suicide,\” she said softly.

\”I know.\”

\”Beicheng, what do we do?\”

\”Let's go back first.\”

\”Yes.\”

Lin Mingxi remained silent throughout the journey.

Upon returning home, Gu Beicheng took a look at the items Lin Mingyuan had sent and said, \”Seems like she still carries hope in getting the money back. The only way that we can do that is by suing him. It might take some time, but we have an abundance of time. We don't have to be afraid of a draggy lawsuit.\”

\”We must get the money back. Otherwise, we'll just be letting him off easy and giving him the chance to provide for his mistress and his illegitimate child.\”

\”Leave it to me to handle this. Stay out of it. Father and Mother must have suffered a huge blow. Do your best to comfort them.\”

\”Alright.\”

Time passed gradually, and soon, July arrived.

It had been a long while since Jin Qingyan left. The psychiatrist, Yu Yiwei, who had been staying in Wei Ni Estate, was losing her patience.

\”Chief, just when is Mr. Jin going to come home?\”

\”Ms. Yu, didn't I already say this before? He'll come back when it's time for him to. You don't have to worry or get impatient.\”
