106 The Favour 9 (2/2)

Xiu Ling turned to look at her son in confusion and realized Lin Xi was looking back at her with a smile. The smile was as innocent as a child's normally would but for some reason, Xiu Ling read a trace of conspiracy behind it. It was as if the boy knew of her trouble and he cried as a method to aid her.

Xiu Ling checked her son's diaper and naturally it was dry. She then proceeded to lay him down in his crib. Lin Xi wiggled his arms about as he looked up at her.

”Thank you,” Xiu Ling whispered and Lin Xi giggled as if he understood what his mother was saying.

Whether it was just a coincidence or Lin Xi did know what he was doing, this affirmed Xiu Ling's decision of not going up against Lin Kang. She would not be able to survive losing Lin Xi.

Xiu Ling sat down beside the boy's crib and her hands caressed her son's chubby face. Lin Xi reached out to grab her fingers. Feeling her son's small fingers curling around hers, Xiu Ling's heart warmed.

'How come something as amazing as you share the lineage of someone as horrendous as him?' Xiu Ling thought to herself.

In any case, Xiu Ling was reminded of the fact that before Joann left that afternoon, her best friend had reached out to her to save Xu Corps. Xiu Ling promised that she would try her best to help her friend.

Xiu Ling sat where she was, trying to come up with a useable solution. Obviously talking to Lin Kang would not work, if it was of any use, Lin Kang would have agreed to help Joann when she went to negotiate with him. Furthermore, at that moment, Xiu Ling could not stand being in the same room as the man much less talk to him.

Therefore, that option was a no-go.

However, Lin Kang's words were equivalent to the law in the Lin household and at the company. There was only one individual in the family whose words could sway Lin Kang and that was who Xiu Ling planned to meet.

Xiu Ling did not like going behind Lin Kang but desperate times call for desperate measures. Furthermore, it was also the man's fault for forcing Xiu Ling into this decision.

…

Lin Kang sat alone fuming in the dining room. 'Why couldn't she understand where I'm coming from?'

Lin Kang was pissed that his wife acted like he was the most disgusting creature in the world she had ever seen and she could not wait to get away from him.

Lin Kang sat stewing in that rage of being rejected and abandoned. This was not something that happened to him often, normally people could not wait to throw themselves at him.

However, when the rage left him, Lin Kang had to admit this was partly his fault. If only he had a better communication skill, things would not have led to this regrettable stage.
