Chapter 587: Lin Ya’s Plan
Mu Donglin had been hospitalized and rumor had it that he was badly injured.
However, he stayed in the hospital for only two days before returning ho.
Very few people knew the reason, and those who did kept mum.
Lin Kerou could guess why.
There was no doubt that Mu Donglin’s injuries were caused by Mu Xichen.
She was indignant, but Mu Donglin was her fiancé. She couldn’t possibly turn a blind eye to it..
From the day he was injured, Lin Kerou stayed by his side.
She took care of his injuries while blaming him for being obsessed with Li Beinian. At the sa ti, she felt that Li Beinian was an eyesore.
If it weren’t for Li Beinian, Mu Xichen and Mu Donglin wouldn’t have so many conflicts.
Mu Xichen was a soldier who had been on the battlefield for ten years and held a high military rank.
Even if he were to face Mu Donglin barehanded, how could Mu Donglin be his match?
While she blad him, she couldn’t help but feel hopeful. What if Brother Donglin gave up on Li Beinian as a result of this episode?
With this ntality, Lin Kerou ca to Mu Donglin almost every day to reinforce her presence. During this ti, she everything but lived in the hospital.
When she saw Mu Donglin’s sullen face again, Lin Kerou was not the least bit impatient.
More than a week had passed, and Mu Donglin was ready to get out of bed to settle so matters.
At this point, Lin Kerou sat beside him and said, “Brother Donglin, rest for a while. I’ve made you bird’s nest porridge. Have so.”
Mu Donglin responded with little interest, “Leave it there.”
Lin Kerou looked terribly infatuated.
Noticing that he was focused on his work, she sat down opposite him.
He did not seem to notice her presence and continued working.
After so ti, Lin Kerou hurried him, “It’s getting cold.”
Mu Donglin put down the docunts and glanced at her.
She handed him a wet tissue. Mu Donglin took it. After he had wiped his hands, she held the bowl out to him.
To be fair, Lin Kerou treated him very well.
Mu Donglin actually felt that it was justified.
Realizing this, Mu Donglin looked up at Lin Kerou.
Her face was glowing with satisfaction. When she noticed him looking at her, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
Mu Donglin shook his head and asked, “What ti is it?”
Lin Kerou looked at the ti. “Half past eight.”
“It’s late.” Mu Donglin scooped another mouthful of porridge and did not say anything else.
Lin Kerou propped her head on her hand and watched him eat the porridge that she had personally made. The satisfaction she felt was overwhelming and imnse.
As the saying goes, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.
Mu Donglin couldn’t eat anything too greasy now. If he could, she would definitely cook him sothing new every day.
After a while, Mu Donglin spoke again. “Have you eaten?”
Shaking her head, Lin Kerou felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation and said softly, “I’ll eat later when I get ho.”
“Is there more porridge?”
“Yes.”
“Let’s eat together.”
Lin Kerou looked at him, her heart pounding.
Although this was just a brief remark, it was sothing he had not said once in the past ten days.
Lin Kerou was elated to hear this. She broke into a smile and said, “Okay, wait for .”
As she spoke, she turned around and headed out of the room.
Mu Donglin looked at Lin Kerou’s back view and felt a little guilty.
He wasn’t a blockhead.
He was well aware of Li Beinian’s feelings towards him, just as he was aware of Lin Kerou’s feelings for him.
Because of this, Mu Donglin could not lie to himself.
Lin Kerou really loved him.
Mu Donglin watched the girl as she walked in.
Behind her was a dostic helper carrying a tray. On the tray there was a large bowl and so appetizing dishes.
Lin Kerou put the food down and said happily, “This is a side dish I learned to make a few days ago. Try it.”
As she spoke, Lin Kerou placed the plate in front of Mu Donglin. She maintained her warm smile and said, “I know you can’t eat anything too heavy now. It took a long ti to learn this.”
The man felt even more guilty as he looked at the food.
Although Lin Kerou had lied to Mu Donglin and fabricated such an absurd matter in order to get engaged to him, at the very least she was sincere towards him.
His gaze rested on her as he accepted her kindness.
Lin Kerou smiled even more happily and looked at him, overjoyed.
Mu Donglin ate in silence. It was only after eating, he realized that Lin Kerou had not touched her food.
He made a comnt on this and Lin Kerou quickly finished the rest of the porridge.
Obviously, she was in an excellent mood.
Her good mood lasted all the way from when she left the Mu Family Mansion and returned to the Lin Family Mansion.
She humd a tune as she walked into the house. Mother Lin was sitting on the sofa, looking worried.
She was inexplicably furious the mont she noticed the girl’s attitude. “You’re always out and about. You’re hardly even dating Mu Donglin and you act like you’re already married. People who don’t know any better might even think that you’re married. Don’t you have any sense of sha?”
Lin Kerou restrained her emotions after being scolded. She frowned and put on a pitiful expression, “Mom, what’s up with you today?”
Lin Kerou’s expression annoyed Mother Lin further. “It’s all because of you, sigh!”
Lin Kerou had no idea what was going on, and imdiately went forward to comfort her.
Very quickly, she found out.
It turned out that news of Mu Donglin and Mu Xichen’s fight had spread. Lin Kerou knew exactly what had sparked it off.
However, the news that was initially thought to be very well kept secret sohow reached the ears of Mother Lin’s elders.
After the news went around, everyone now knew that Mu Donglin actually liked Li Beinian.
And the reason Li Beinian and Mu Donglin had called off their engagent was because Lin Kerou had co in between them.
Lin Kerou colluded with Li ng and caused them to break off, and then took advantage of the situation.
Lin Kerou was furious when she heard this. “What nonsense!”
Mother Lin sighed heavily on seeing her daughter’s reaction and said, “Why do you have to like Mu Donglin!”
Lin Kerou knew that Mother Lin was upset and tried to console her.
Finally, after coaxing Mother Lin to sleep, the girl went upstairs in a daze.
She had intended to go back to her room, but just as she was about to do so, she suddenly rembered that she hadn’t talked to her brother in a long ti.
She turned back and instead, walked to Lin Ya’s study.
But just as she got closer, she heard voices coming from inside.
Soone was speaking fluent English.
Lin Ya had studied in Boston previously, while Lin Kerou had gone to New York.
Even though there was a difference in their accents, the difference was very subtle.
Lin Kerou heard him say, “Since that’s the case, we can’t keep her.”
Lin Kerou wanted to walk in, but halted when she heard those words.
“I’ll leave it to you then... Okay... Goodbye.”
Then, he hung up.
Lin Kerou walked up to the door and knocked.
The mont Lin Ya sat down, he heard the knocking and looked up. When he saw Lin Kerou, he seed a little surprised. However, very quickly, he looked calm again and said, “You’re early today. Aren’t you accompanying your fiancé?”
Lin Kerou walked in and said, “Brother, we haven’t gone out together for a long while. Do you have so ti one of these days?”
“No.” Lin Ya turned her down flatly. He creased his brow as he held a piece of land application that had just been sent over.
Lin Ya sat down. “When would you have ti then?”
“If there’s nothing else, please leave. Don’t bother .” His tone was impatient. Lin Ya seed a little annoyed.
However, his manner was distant and made Lin Kerou feel inexplicably sad.
She looked at him for a long ti before saying, “Brother, you seem different.”
Lin Ya finally looked up on hearing this.
Noticing the sadness on Lin Kerou’s face, he frowned and said, “Don’t let your imagination run wild. I’ve been too busy recently.”
“So busy that you don’t even talk to anymore.” Lin Kerou was close to tears. “I’m your sister.”
“I’m glad you rember who you are. Soone’s been absent from ho for the past few days, playing personal assistant to soone else. You haven’t shown half as much concern for your own brother.” Lin Ya looked at his sister with a mild expression, but there was a hint of a smile on his face, so calm that it was sarcastic. “One would even think that I sold my sister to Mu Donglin.”
Lin Kerou was a little embarrassed and said nervously, “Nonsense. I only went to take care of him since I have no work these recent days. If you have errands for to run, I can do that too.”
“Oh?” Lin Ya raised his eyebrow, his eyes flashing sharply with a cunning glint. “Since you’ve said so, help with sothing then.”
“What?”
“I heard that Li ng has returned. Get an appointnt with her.”
Lin Kerou was stunned. “ng ng? But why?”
“She’s Mo Shaojun’s student. Mo Shaojun is one of the most famous people in Xia Nation.” Lin Ya placed his docunts on the table, adjusted his glasses, and smiled gently. “Help connect up.”
Lin Kerou nodded without asking why.
After returning to her room, Lin Kerou realized that she had received a few WeChat ssages.
[Li Xueqing]: Are you really willing? Li Beinian is obviously setting Mu Donglin up.
[Li Xueqing]: She beat up and made tell my family that it was Mu Donglin. I had no choice but to compromise.
[Li Xueqing]: If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t have broken up with Li ng. It’s all her fault.
[Li Xueqing]: Because of her, Mu Donglin has been dragged through the mud. Both your reputations were intact, but now, it’s all been ruined by her!
Lin Kerou looked at Li Xueqing’s ssage and found them ridiculous.
That girl had the ill intention to harm others, but lacked the intelligence.
Did she think that she’d fall for such an obvious instigation?
However, it was indeed an effective weapon
Lin Kerou looked at her phone and replied briefly: It’s ti.
It was ti.
People like her shouldn’t be living in this world.
There was nothing against getting rid of evil for the people.
