Recently, the secretary had been paying attention to Lin Wanmeng’s movements. Naturally, he knew that his mother’s company owed a huge debt.

“President, what do you think we should do about this?” The secretary thought that even if Ye Lingxiao did not get close to women, he should still help his nominal wife.

However, he still thought too highly of his CEO.

In the next second, Ye Lingxiao replied calmly, “It’s only right and proper to repay a debt. This is what her mother deserves.”

“But..” The secretary understood the secret behind Lin Wanmeng’s father’s scheme and wanted to explain, but he was interrupted by Ye Lingxiao’s hand gesture.

“If you have time to care about Lin Wanmeng, why don’t you keep an eye on the He Corporation?” Ye Lingxiao warned indifferently.

“Yes!”

The secretary thought to himself, ‘Sometimes I wonder if the president really loves his archenemy, CEO He, more than his wife..’

Not long after, Lin Wanmeng returned to the villa with a tired expression. Her mind kept replaying the decision she had made at the Qinyu Company.

80 million was an astronomical figure for Lin Wanmeng and her daughter.

Su Qin insisted that the company was under her name, so it had nothing to do with her daughter. However, she was afraid that the creditors would take away the apartment under her name. After all, the real estate certificate had her and her daughter’s names on it.

However, now that Lin Wanmeng and her mother depended on each other, she naturally wouldn’t sit back and do nothing. Instead of giving up everything to repay the debt and even sleeping on the streets, it was better to take over the company and completely reverse the current situation.

She had learned that the company was fully equipped with all kinds of equipment, and there were also projects that were operating normally. If her father, Lin Bo, had not been in a hurry to recover the funds, Qinyu Corporation would not have become a mess.

Although this path was difficult, she did not hesitate because she no longer had any way out.

“Young Madam! Young Master is awake. It’s a miracle!” A few maids saw Lin Wanmeng return from afar and hurriedly escorted her upstairs.

‘Really? Then it’s time for her to be free again. But why isn’t she happy?’

Even though it had only been a few days, she had already treated this villa as a protective shell. If she stayed here, she would never have to worry about the disturbances outside. It was as if she was living in a dream.

However, she still had to wake up from her dream.

Lin Wanmeng walked into the bedroom like a zombie. Ye Lingxiao was nowhere to be seen. She was not surprised at all and walked straight into the inner suite. She had been living in the suite for the past few days.

As she packed her luggage, she recalled the events of the past few days. Every single one of them was so magical.

The woman whose father cheated on her mother with had been her neighbor for many years.

Her father’s illegitimate daughter had become her best friend and even snatched her boyfriend.

The company her father founded in the name of love left her with huge debts.

She hated her father for being so heartless. She hated herself for naively thinking that he was a good father.

Why did she have to bear the blow of life time and time again when she had clearly done nothing wrong?

Lin Wanmeng’s emotions churned and tangled again and again. No matter how strong she was, she could not help but cry.

She covered her face with her hands, and her body fell limply to the ground as if she was weightless. Tears kept flowing out of her eyes, crossing her fingers and spreading to the back of her smooth hand.

The woman’s mournful whimpers were like the wails of a weak animal on the verge of death, carrying the remaining unwillingness and despair.

Ye Lingxiao stood outside the suite door and heard everything clearly.

This was the first time he had seen a woman cry. Lin Wanmeng’s teary eyes touched the softest part of his heart.

Ye Lingxiao’s brows furrowed slightly. He was a little curious as to why “she” would have such a sad moment.

Knock knock—

Ye Lingxiao bent his knuckles and knocked on the door softly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanmeng immediately pushed herself up from the bed and wiped the tears off her face in a panic, wanting to gloss over the situation.

However, the tears on her thick eyelashes betrayed her.

The crystal-clear teardrops were like tiny stars, shining brightly. The fragile beauty made Ye Lingxiao unable to look away.

Realizing that the man was staring into her eyes, Lin Wanmeng stammered guiltily, “One of my eyelashes fell into my eye.”

Afraid that it was not realistic enough, she even pretended to be helpless and spread her hands. “Sigh, it’s so vexing to have long eyelashes.”

Initially, she wanted to use a self-deprecating sentence to hide her nervousness. She did not expect that her words would be so awkward, and the traces of her acting was so heavy!

She really wanted to open her head and see what she was thinking.

Ye Lingxiao thought that she would pitifully ask him for help. After all, 80 million yuan was a small sum to him, but he did not expect her to still insist.

“You still want to regain your freedom?” Ye Lingxiao calmly extended an olive branch.

“Yes, I’ll pack my luggage immediately. I can leave tonight,” Lin Wanmeng replied bluntly, but she felt regretful.

If she had known that she would have to bear a debt of 80 million, she would have asked Ye Lingxiao for 80 million.

Displeased with the woman’s ungratefulness, Ye Lingxiao’s face darkened, but he gave her another chance.

“Because you cooperated with keeping it confidential, my matter is progressing smoothly. Other than a divorce, there are no other requests?” He had already done his best.

Lin Wanmeng was stunned. Did this man know how to read minds? He actually saw through her thoughts.

“There’s no need. I didn’t do anything anyway.” Lin Wanmeng shook her head with a bitter smile. Her nails dug into her palms and she could barely support herself.

Life was difficult, but she didn’t want to take advantage of others. Otherwise, she would become like her father.

Little did she know that her adherence to her principles was about to anger a certain CEO to death.

He was racking his brains to send her money. What was she insisting on?

Suddenly, Ye Lingxiao was stunned. Did he think of Lin Wanmeng as “her”?

After regaining his composure, the warmth on the man’s face faded and turned cold again. “Come with me to the old residence tomorrow and tell Grandma before leaving.”

“Okay.” Lin Wanmeng nodded politely.

The two of them had not registered their marriage and did not need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. As long as the Ye family was willing to let her go, their divorce would be final.

She believed that the Ye Family would not stop them from getting a divorce. After all, Ye Lingxiao had already woken up. With his conditions, the Ye Family would definitely be able to find a more suitable wife for him.

However, Lin Wanmeng was still too optimistic.

The next day, the two of them arrived at the old residence. When Old Madam Ye heard that her grandson and granddaughter-in-law were going to get a divorce, she was greatly agitated. After fainting, she was sent to the hospital.

“What should we do now?” Lin Wanmeng frowned. She did not expect such a situation to happen.

“We won’t divorce for the time being. As compensation, you can make any request you want.” Ye Lingxiao thought that she could legitimately ask him for 80 million this time.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Lin Wanmeng said something shocking again.

“I want to represent the Qinyu Company to collaborate with Ruili Apparel, a subsidiary of the Ye Group,” Lin Wanmeng said firmly.

Then, she briefly explained the idea of cooperation to Ye Lingxiao.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Lingxiao said coldly, “Bring your project proposal to the company tomorrow.”

“Alright!” Her eyes lit up and her tone instantly became enthusiastic. After all, it was not easy to make Ye Lingxiao, who was not to be trifled with, relent.

She really did not expect that the man her father forced her to marry would become the only person she could trust besides her mother.

However, what about having a child?
