Love belongs to the mountains and seas, I don't belong to you

Xiang Shao and Lin Cong did not leave after they went out.

When they saw Mr. Xiang coming out, they immediately went to greet him.

Lin Cong's face was full of apology. "Grandpa, I'm sorry about what happened today. I was impulsive."

"I thought you were a graceful and elegant girl, but I didn't expect you had this side to you." It was hard to tell whether Mr. Xiang's tone was a compliment or criticism.

Lin Cong felt a little ashamed. She felt that the good impression they had made at their first meeting was ruined.

She looked up at Mr. Xiang, only to find him looking at her with a smile on his face. "Grandpa, I was not thoughtful enough at the time. I only thought about giving him a taste of his own medicine."

"Thanks to your inconsiderateness, you have helped Ah Xiang a lot." Old Xiang glanced at Young Xiang.

Xiang Shao cleared his throat and said, "Grandpa, it's getting late. You should go back and rest."

Elder Xiang pointed his index finger at Young Master Xiang and said, "You, you're treating me like a stepping stone."

Lin Cong looked at Mr. Xiang, then at Mr. Xiang, confused.

Xiang Lao continued, "Congcong, you better be careful. Don't let that brat sell you out and still help him count the money."

This sentence made Lin Cong even more confused.

"Grandpa, if you don't leave, we'll leave first." Xiang Shao said.

Mr. Xiang glared at Mr. Xiang, then turned and got into the car.

He rolled down the window and said, "Congcong, don't take today's events to heart. You're right. Give them a taste of their own medicine."

Lin Cong nodded, "I understand, Grandpa."

Mr. Xiang's words also made Lin Cong feel more at ease. She knew that Mr. Xiang did not blame her.

On the way back, Lin Cong kept thinking about what Xiang Lao meant.

She really was a little confused about today's dinner.

The Bai family's intention is very clear, which is to win over Young Master Xiang.

Xiang Shao's intention is also very clear, which is to support himself.

No! Lin Cong suddenly realized that Bai Luo did not apologize to him in the end.

It seemed as if Young Master Xiang had completely pushed the Bai family out.

So, Mr. Xiang’s goal is to stir up trouble, create unpleasantness with the Bai family, and then draw a clear line between them?

So, on the surface, he wanted Bai Luo to apologize, but in fact he wanted to turn against the Bai family.

So in the whole process, I also became a pawn?

Thinking of this, Lin Cong couldn't help but frown.

"What are you thinking about? So serious." Xiang Shao saw that Lin Cong looked like he was worried about something.

"Today, you came here with the intention of causing unpleasantness with the Bai family, right?" Lin Cong asked.

Xiang Shao glanced at Lin Cong and said with a smile, "Did you figure it out?"

"So, I'm also a pawn in your hand, right?"

"I can't say that, I can only say that what happened today was just the right time."

"No wonder you didn't stop me and let Bai Luo and I quarrel." There was a hint of loss in Lin Cong's tone.

Sensing Lin Cong's emotions, Xiang Shao parked the car directly to the side of the road.

"Congcong, I didn't stop you because I saw you could beat her." Xiang Shao said.

Lin Cong looked at Xiang Shao and asked, "Was the fight fierce at that time?"

Xiang Shao nodded, "At that moment, I felt that you had not moved all that wood in vain."

Lin Cong laughed out loud, "It's really fun to fight."

Xiang Shao held Lin Cong's hand and explained, "This incident did give me a reason to fall out with the Bai family, but it was just a coincidence. I never thought of using you."

"It doesn't matter if I use you. Aren't you also my backer?"

"But I think you are unhappy." There was some worry in Xiang Shao's eyes.

"I am indeed a little unhappy, but not because of this. It's because you didn't tell me your thoughts in advance." Lin Cong said.

Lin Cong leaned on Xiang Shao's shoulder and continued, "If you had told me in advance, maybe I could have helped you."

Xiang Shao touched Lin Cong's head and said, "You are already helping me."

"I can help more, like being more ruthless."

"Congcong, it's hard for me not to suspect that you're taking personal revenge on someone you don't care about."

Lin Cong and Xiang Shao both laughed.

……

After Bai Luo left the dinner party, he found Xia Ruohan.

Bai Luo burst into tears, "Sister Hanhan, none of them stand on my side."

"What's going on? Why is no one on your side?" Xia Ruohan asked.

Bai Luo recounted a series of events that happened at the dinner table.

Xia Ruohan helped Bai Luo wipe away his tears, "Don't blame Uncle Bai and the others. After all, your family still has to contact the Xiang family for business."

"I really don't understand why Lin Cong is everywhere!" Bai Luo said angrily.

"After all, she is Mr. Xiang's fiancée, so it's perfectly normal for her to be here."

"Sister Hanhan, do you know? I saw Lu Yanqi chatting and laughing with her again today. How could there be such a person!"

"Could it be that Lin Cong wants to..." Xia Ruohan hesitated to speak. She just wanted to arouse Bai Luo's suspicion.

"Didn't Lin Cong look for a brother-in-law? She didn't like her brother-in-law very much before."

After Bai Luo calmed down, he thought about this matter carefully. If Lin Cong wanted to find someone, he should have looked for Su Qian, so why would he look for Lu Yanqi?

"She wants revenge because of her grandmother," Xia Ruohan explained.

Bai Luo thought for a moment, "What does her grandmother's affairs have to do with me?"

"You forgot that you went to see her grandmother before." Xia Ruohan reminded.

"So, she wants to snatch Lu Yanqi away to get revenge on me?" Bai Luo asked.

"It's possible."

Bai Luo connected all the facts and felt that Xia Ruohan's statement was not impossible. Taking Lu Yanqi away was indeed the best way to get revenge on her.

"Alas, Lin Cong is really haunting me. It would be great if she could just disappear." Xia Ruohan said dimly.

"Disappeared?" Bai Luo asked in confusion.

"Yes, if she disappears, you don't have to worry about Lu Yanqi being snatched away."

Xia Ruohan's words hit the nail on the head. She knew that Bai Luo cared most about Lu Yanqi.

Bai Luo frowned, thinking about something.

"Lolo? What are you thinking about?" Xia Ruohan asked.

Bai Luo shook his head, "Nothing, Sister Hanhan, I'm leaving first."

Looking at Bai Luo's back, Xia Ruohan knew that Bai Luo was already thinking about how to make Lin Cong disappear.

……

Su Qian left the Bai family's banquet early and found Ye Fei.

In the tavern, Su Qian and Ye Fei ordered a pot of liquor.

"Shouldn't Mr. Su attend the Bai family's dinner today?" Ye Fei asked.

"Yeah, left early."

"What do you want from me?"

Su Qian didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Boss Fei, what on earth has happened to Lin Cong in the past two years?"

"I really don't know. All I know is that she is in Country M and is with Mr. Xiang. That's all."

"There's a long scar on Lin Cong's shoulder... What on earth did she go through..."

Speaking of this, Su Qian's eyes revealed a bit of heartache.

"Boss Su, with all due respect, this shouldn't be your concern."

Su Qian nodded, "I understand, but I can't help it..."

"Mr. Xiang likes her very much, more than you and I can imagine. She won't be hurt by Mr. Xiang's side."

"What about her? Does she really like Mr. Xiang?" Su Qian still didn't give up.

"In my opinion, yes, she is living a very happy life now. She is no longer Lin Cong of Xia Group." Ye Fei kindly advised Su Qian.

Su Qian drank a glass of wine and said, "I won't give up. I will always stay with her. What if she still needs me?"

Ye Fei sighed.

Su Qian took a deep breath and said, "Actually, there is one more thing I need to do today. Please pass this trouble on to Lin Cong."

As he spoke, Su Qian handed Ye Fei a stack of papers with some account expenditure records on them.

"This is?" Ye Fei asked.

"Xia Ruohan's bank account income and expenditure records."
