Huo Qinglin heard that she was scolded by Lin Banxia, so it was no wonder she was crying. He could only gently comfort her, "Alright, stop crying. That heartless and vile woman Lin Banxia, sooner or later, I’ll make her pay."
"Really? You’ll stand up for , won’t you?" Lu Huan Ning imdiately fluttered her supposedly innocent and pure eyes, asking pitifully.
"Of course. Even if she hadn’t insulted you, I wouldn’t have let her off. Do you know what people outside are saying about now? They’re saying I was toyed with by a lowly woman and then cast aside like garbage. What a joke! Lin Banxia deliberately humiliated . Otherwise, why did she wait until I proposed to her to bring up breaking up? Why not earlier? Back then, I’d gathered so many people to cheer on. And now? My face is ruined. That damned woman, I won’t forgive her." Huo Qinglin was filled with resentnt towards Lin Banxia.
If Huo Yanting hadn’t rescued her from the yacht that day, he might have strangled her himself and fed her to the fish in the sea.
"Qinglin, have you noticed? Lin Banxia seems different now, completely unlike the person she was before. Think about it—she never raised her voice at you before and always acted like a ek little lamb, fawning over you obsessively." Lu Huan Ning also noticed Lin Banxia’s drastic change, so she believed this must be part of a conspiracy.
Huo Qinglin laughed coldly, "This is just a facade she’s putting on. Do you see anything lamb-like about her? She’s clearly a tigress, daring to lash out at . Oh, I get it now—she must have conspired with my cousin long ago to humiliate . That must be it. What a terrifying woman, playing such a convincing act."
Huo Qinglin, spurred by Lu Huan Ning’s reminder, suddenly realized this was likely a ploy by Huo Yanting and Lin Banxia to make a fool out of him. The thought alone darkened Huo Qinglin’s expression further.
But Lu Huan Ning found it strange. "Your cousin? You an Mr. Huo? How did he even get to know Lin Banxia?"
Huo Qinglin imdiately looked as though he’d been slapped. He said coldly and angrily, "When I proposed to her this ti, she rejected on the spot. She said she’d always been secretly in love with soone. Later, I found out that the person she was in love with was Huo Yanting. And Huo Yanting even admitted that he had feelings for her too. By now, those two are probably already together."
Hearing this, Lu Huan Ning felt chills running down her spine.
"Qinglin, are you saying... Lin Banxia is now Mr. Huo’s girlfriend?" Lu Huan Ning was genuinely beginning to feel afraid.
Thinking of Lin Banxia’s harsh words earlier, about making her take a detour if they t, dread instantly crept over her.
If Lin Banxia really beca Huo Yanting’s woman, then she’d truly be in danger.
Huo Qinglin snorted with unwillingness, "Maybe, but not necessarily. My brother has very high standards for won. The only reason he’s paying attention to Lin Banxia is probably because of the pear garden deed she has. It’s not possible that he truly loves her. So, Lin Banxia is still quite pitiful. She’s going to end up being used by my brother."
"If it’s like that, then that’s perfect. I don’t think Lin Banxia has the kind of charm to completely captivate Mr. Huo," Lu Huan Ning said, a touch of malice in her tone. "Qinglin, look at Lin Banxia—she destroyed your reputation and humiliated as well. Why don’t you go and break them apart? That would solve both our problems."
Lu Huan Ning was egging Huo Qinglin on, trying to sow discord between them as her own ans of self-preservation.
As long as Lin Banxia wasn’t with Huo Yanting, she wouldn’t feel threatened by her anymore.
