Huo Yanting’s smile faded from his eyes, and he said indifferently, "Why are you apologizing?"
Chu Tingting imdiately looked at his face carefully, lowered her head, and put on the appearance of soone who had done sothing wrong.
"I know Yan Ting must not want to follow you to work and learn, but just now Grandpa arranged it this way. You must feel very troubled, right? I didn’t expect Grandpa to actually ask to stay by your side." Chu Tingting feigned a very flustered expression as she spoke.
"Grandpa arranged it this way because he hopes we can deepen our connection. There’s nothing strange about it. I just think that following might be quite tiring for you." Huo Yanting turned and walked toward the elevator, already thinking of a way to make this woman leave obediently.
"No matter how tiring it is, I don’t mind. As long as I can stay by your side, Yan Ting, you know I joined the company just for you. If I can see you every day, no matter what you ask to do, I’ll be happy." Chu Tingting seized the opportunity to confess her heartfelt feelings, her tearful, alluring eyes fixed on the tall figure of the man’s back.
In her heart, she thought, if she could lean on his chest, that would be the happiest thing in the world, wouldn’t it?
In the elevator, the faint minty scent emanating from the man blended with his mature and masculine aura. Chu Tingting greedily inhaled a few deep breaths, her heart pounding even faster.
"I am soone who is usually quite strict. If you’re going to be my subordinate, I will still scold and punish you if you do sothing wrong. You wouldn’t mind that, would you?" The man’s suddenly cold tone froze the daydreaming expression on Chu Tingting’s face.
She abruptly lifted her head, staring at the man’s cold, chiseled profile. He was so handso, so captivating, yet his words made her feel as if she had fallen into an icy abyss.
"Yan Ting, I’ll work hard to accomplish whatever you assign to ..."
"Just working hard isn’t enough here. You also need to be smart and have the talent of a leader." Huo Yanting interrupted her naïve expectations.
Chu Tingting’s face paled even further. She nervously and uneasily lowered her head, her fingers twisting together. "Yan Ting, I did at least study overseas for so ti. Don’t worry, I won’t let you down."
Huo Yanting’s gaze turned even colder!
After returning to the pear garden, Lin Banxia received a call from Lin Shiyi.
"Lin Banxia, Dad’s been beaten and is in the hospital. Aren’t you even going to visit him?"
Although Lin Kunhuai had said he didn’t want to see Lin Banxia, Lin Shiyi didn’t fully understand what he ant. So after stepping out of the ward, she imdiately called Lin Banxia.
"Is that so? Then take good care of him." Lin Banxia’s tone was indifferent.
"What’s wrong with you? Your dad’s been beaten, and you don’t care at all? Do you even have a conscience?" Lin Shiyi grew increasingly furious, shouting over the phone.
"I used to have a conscience, but over ti, it got eaten by the dogs." The anger brewing in Lin Banxia’s heart hadn’t subsided, so her response was all the more cutting and rciless.
Lin Shiyi was practically livid with rage.
"A bastard will always be a bastard—an ingrate that can’t be tad. If sothing happens to Dad, I won’t let you off!" Lin Shiyi imdiately hurled the harshest insults she could think of.
The word "bastard" felt like a knife plunging into Lin Banxia’s heart, the pain unbearable.
Hanging up, Lin Banxia shut herself in her room, wanting only to sit alone in silence.
Hospital.
Lin Kunhuai lay in bed groaning, the more he thought about it, the angrier he beca. No matter what, Lin Banxia was the daughter he had raised, yet now because of her, he had been beaten. The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he felt.
"No, she must repay my kindness for raising her!" Lin Kunhuai suddenly said to his wife, Cheng Rouyin.
Cheng Rouyin, who had been applying a warm towel to his forehead, was startled by his words, her expression one of surprise.
