Chapter 2717: Chapter 858: Calm

Cao Xiaoqiang’s voice softened a bit, "I hope you won’t be upset by what I’m going to say. Your place in uncle’s heart probably isn’t that significant. He’s surrounded by countless women, and he’d rather replace you than much care about you."

Cao Xiaoqiang was telling the truth.

Lin Zhi knew this well in her heart.

What was she but a mere plaything for that old man?

But Lin Zhi wasn’t willing to accept it.

Lin Zhi grabbed the wine glass on the table and smashed it hard, "I’m not reconciled. Everything I have now was caused by them, all because of Lu Yinxing. I hate it. Why do I have to live in hell and serve a capricious old man while they can live happily? I’m not willing to accept it. I want them all to pay."

Lin Zhi suddenly thought of something.

She grabbed Cao Xiaoqiang’s hand, "Qiangzi, help me. As long as you can fulfill my wish, I promise you, I’ll follow you to the ends of the earth. I don’t want anything else. We can start over somewhere with no one else."

This wasn’t the first time Lin Zhi had said this to Cao Xiaoqiang.

Every time she wanted to use him, she did it like this.

Yet Cao Xiaoqiang was still intoxicated, intoxicated by this temporary tenderness, intoxicated by her yielding.

He couldn’t bear her tears.

She was always the white moonlight in his heart.

Cao Xiaoqiang would always remember the first time he saw Lin Zhi when they were in school.

She was dressed in white, looking ethereal.

He was playing basketball, sweating profusely.

She suddenly handed him a cup of water, "For you."

Then she gave him a soft smile.

That smile struck his heart, feeling like the midday sun.

Even though later, he learned that the water wasn’t meant for him.

It was meant for Xia Ye.

But just because it was refused at that moment, she casually handed it to him instead.

But because of this accidental twist, they got entangled for life.

Cao Xiaoqiang said, "Alright, tell me, what do you want to do?"

After returning home, Lu Yinxing took a shower.

She changed out of the gown.

Due to the special circumstances, everyone had dispersed.

When Lu Yinxing returned, she hadn’t had a chance to change into her own clothes and shoes.

Lu Yinxing thought about taking the dress to the dry cleaner’s tomorrow; she still needed to return it to Lin Zhi.

After a hectic day, Lu Yinxing was very tired and didn’t want to think about anything else, so she lay down and fell asleep.

In the days that followed, Lu Yinxing continued working as usual.

Lin Zhi’s dress still remained in Lu Yinxing’s possession.

Lu Yinxing originally planned to call Lin Zhi and return the dress.

But in the end, Lu Yinxing thought better of it.

She didn’t want too much contact with her, to avoid trouble.

So she left the dress at the front desk of the Caesar Hotel.

Then instructed them to contact Lin Zhi.

The class reunion was held at the Caesar Hotel, so those people surely had Lin Zhi’s contact information.

After sending the dress, Lu Yinxing let out a sigh of relief.

Life went on calmly and busily.

Xia Ye was the same.

Lu Yinxing still couldn’t see him for days at a time.

Most of the time, Xia Ye was still at the company.

However, during this time, Lu Yinxing also came to terms with it.

She seemed to have gotten used to Xia Ye’s indifference.

Perhaps Xia Ye wanted to retreat, or perhaps he had other plans.

But regardless of which, Lu Yinxing felt she needed to give Xia Ye time.

Let it be.
