Lin Ange stopped at the door and looked around.
The manor was exceptionally empty. Even the corridors were so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Would Lin Yifei set another trap for her to jump into?
His palm grew numb.
The phone in his hand vibrated.
Lowering his head, he read.
"CEO, we have arrived at the Western Yunshan Manor."
Ding Pei's message.
Lin Ange pursed her lips as all the cells in her body went into a state of alert.
He raised his hand and knocked on the study door.
No matter what, he had to be careful.
"Come in …"
Soon, Lin Yifei's voice sounded from inside.
Hearing that voice, Lin Ange's face, which was covered with anger, became even more tense. Her limpid eyes were tightly shut as a cold light flashed in all directions. Anger was raging in his chest.
She really wanted to kick the door open, rush in, and give Lin Yifei a good beating. However, she suppressed her emotions and walked in with big steps while pursing her cherry-like lips.
What entered his eyes. It was still the familiar furnishings. There were rosewood bookcases, desks, chairs, and an ancient shelf.
There was not the slightest change in the arrangement of the shelves, nor was there any change in the antiques on the shelves.
"You're really punctual …"
Lin Yifei was wearing an iron-gray shirt as he sat in front of the desk. He raised his eyes and looked at her. There was a hint of sarcasm in the raspy voice.
In front of him was a box with gold lining.
"…"
Lin Ange took a glance at it and confirmed that it belonged to her mother.
Her long eyelashes drooped down as she looked coldly at Lin Yifei with a heart full of resentment and pain.
Lin Yifei glanced at her and then looked at the box in front of him with a dark expression.
He stretched out his hand and caressed it gently. There was a complicated expression on his face.
"This belongs to your mother. I originally planned to give it to you when you were 18 …"
"Lin Yifei, you don't need to say all that. If you know what's good for you, hurry up and 'return' what's good for me. "
As Lin Ange listened to his words, the hatred in her heart grew even more. A trace of loathing could be seen on her face. She didn't want to hear more, so she interrupted him with a cold voice.
"Whether it's the property rights of the Western Yunshan Manor or your mother's remnants, I can immediately 'return' them to you. But you have to promise me one condition. "
Lin Yifei didn't have the interest to continue the 'chat' with her, so he directly stated his' condition '.
"Heh …"
Lin Ange knew since a long time ago that how could he be so 'kind' to give away these things that belonged to her in such a way.
There's no pie in the sky.
What's more, Lin Yifei was a cunning and despicable person.
She was mentally prepared.
"Speak." "What conditions?"
Her voice was thin and cold, and carried the aura of an innate expert.
Lin Yifei slowly raised his head and carefully looked at her.
Looking at Helan Jing's face, her heart was moved and her emotions became complicated.
In all these years, he'd never once taken a good look at this stepdaughter of his who was not the least bit related to him.
Unexpectedly, she looked more and more like Helan Jing.
Her outfit today resembled her even more.
Inexplicably, an electric current flowed through his body, causing a disturbance somewhere.
He swallowed without batting an eyelid, his Adam's apple rolling.
If he hadn't become a cripple, he wouldn't have let her off today.
He didn't have Helan Jing, but he did have a problem with her daughter.
When he thought of Helan Jing, the old scar at the bottom of his heart began to ache.
He knew that Helan Jing had promised to stay with him, except for expressing her feelings through her death. More importantly, he had promised her that he would treat the child in her womb as if it were his own.
After marrying Helan Jing, not only did he enjoy the wealth bestowed to him by Helan Family, he also endured the unbearable 'shame'.
Since the day of their marriage, the two of them had slept separately and never had any physical contact.
Ten years of marriage was nothing.
But who could they blame?
He clearly knew that Helan Jing had a child with someone else, but he still pursued her without hesitation.
For what?
Wasn't it all because he was greedy for the Helan Family's property, and wanted to take everything he had as his own.
He didn't love Helan Jing, and Helan Jing didn't love him either.
Before the marriage, he had known all of this, but now, his heart was unbalanced.
He hated Helan Jing, hated Helan Family, hated that person.
All of this was clearly his own choice, yet he had pushed all the blame to someone else.
The heart of an evil man is also evil.
In the blink of an eye, Helan Jing had been gone for 12 years and Lin Ange was 22 years old.0
Lin Yifei was slightly dazed as he looked at Lin Ange, who was dressed casually.
Stunned, his cold eyes narrowed as he coldly said.
"The condition is that you don't stop the 'trade' between me and the Xia Family, and then allow me to safely leave the Yunjing."
"Lin Yifei, you want to run?!"
When Lin Ange heard this, the corner of her mouth curled into a mocking sneer. The hand holding the sports bag slowly tightened, and the small blood vessels on the back of his hand could be clearly seen.
"Run?"
Lin Yifei withdrew his cold gaze from Lin Ange as the corner of his mouth slightly twitched. The corner of his eyes were filled with a disdainful smile.
"Why should I run? I left in broad daylight. "
"Open and honorable?!" Lin Yifei, if you really can leave normally, then why are you talking about this? "
Lin Ange's cold voice penetrated him mercilessly.
"Lin Ange, don't think that with Lu Yiyao's support, you can go against the rules."
Lin Yifei's face darkened bit by bit as he frowned. Compared to before, his tone was much sharper.
"Lin Yifei, even if there's no Lu Yiyao, I will still make it so that you can't leave the Yunjing without taking half a step in."
Lin Ange did not deny that she had a relationship with Lu Yiyao.
She stood, her comb-like eyelashes drooping, her eyelids darkening.
Lin Yifei didn't expect her to be so arrogant.
He was furious, and his eyes were dancing with fire.
He was filled with resentment, but he could only bear with it.
Lin Ange looked at the 'mastermind' who caused her mother's car accident. The anger she was suppressing surged upward.
She wished she could put him in jail now and bring him to justice. But she couldn't alert the police until the evidence was clear.
Lin Yifei told her to let him leave the Yunjing safely.
His intentions were extremely clear.
He knew that his crimes would be exposed sooner or later, so it would be difficult for him to leave.
Lin Ange's palms were tightened, her nails digging into her flesh, the pain pressing against her hatred.
"Lin Ange, let's not talk about this. Just tell me, do you accept this condition? "
Lin Yifei's gaze fell onto the gold-edged box again. He pressed on the corner of the box and used a little strength in his hand to open the box.
Inside the box were Helan Jing's precious jewelry.
Even though it was daytime, the dazzling light emitted by those expensive pieces of jewelry was dazzling. The entire study room lit up.
