Lin Mingmo's pupils suddenly constricted and her head felt dizzy.

After a while, Lin Mingmo turned around, but there was no sign of Lu Cheng.

Inside the car, the driver urged, and Lin Mingmo had to get in first.

She was extremely uneasy because she was afraid that what Lu Cheng said was true.

Back then, the Lu Cheng family relied on their friendship and understanding with the Lin family, as well as tricking Lin Mingmo into stealing confidential documents, to bring down the Lin family. But who knows, they might have another trick up their sleeve to prevent the Lin family from making a comeback.

Ten years in prison.

When Lin Mingmo thought of this word, her heart tightened.

What on earth is Lin Lidong hiding from her?

"Master, let's go to Huayu Longting!" Lin Mingmo changed the destination.

Lin Lidong was at home, having dinner with Yao Yuhui.

Both of them were surprised to see Lin Mingmo.

"Mingmo, why are you back again? I hope the Sheng family has an objection if you go back to your parents' home every few days?" Yao Yuhui's frown highlighted her worry.

However, this worry is not for Lin Mingmo.

Lin Mingmo didn't care about anything else. She stared at Lin Lidong and asked directly, "Dad, what leverage do you have over the Lu family?"

This question made Lin Lidong's already ugly face even uglier.

Lin Lidong stood up, put his hands on his waist, and retorted indignantly: "I, Lin Lidong, am upright and honest. What kind of handle could they have? If the Lu family really had that thing, they would have brought me down long ago!"

He looked stubborn and proud, like most middle-aged men.

After hearing Lin Lidong say this, Lin Mingmo finally felt relieved.

It seems that Lu Cheng was just bluffing and said this on purpose.

"Dad, Mom, we are a family. If there is anything, please don't hide it from me." Lin Mingmo said worriedly.

Lin Lidong didn't care. For him, marrying Lin Mingmo into the Sheng family would mean he was only one step away from success.

After twenty years of struggle with Lu Qiliang, he was finally about to win.

This matter came to an end. Lin Mingmo looked around, but didn't see Lin Xingxi, so she asked, "Where is Xingxi?"

Yao Yuhui smiled and said, "She has been practicing piano very late recently."

There was a layer of doubt in Lin Mingmo's eyes.

When they were very young, their parents arranged many interest courses for them. Later, Lin Mingmo focused on dance and Lin Xingxi focused on piano.

It’s just that their parents are not really trying to cultivate their skills, they just want to package them as “socialites”.

Lin Xingxi was playful and tired of boring practice, so she often asked Lin Mingmo to cover up for her so that she could escape piano lessons.

Why are you suddenly working so hard now?

In front of her parents, Lin Mingmo didn't know what to say, so she just laughed dryly and said goodbye.

On the way back to Sheng's house, she called Lin Xingxi several times, but no one answered.

Sheng Yuan returned home and his phone screen lit up.

He was in a good mood, picked up the phone casually, turned on the speaker and threw the phone on the sofa.

"A Yuan, you haven't come out to play for a long time. The sisters all miss you." A woman's gentle voice came from the phone, sounding like a complaint and a coquettish tone.

This is Wu Mei, the manager of Star Coast Club, a club Sheng Yuan used to frequent. As her name suggests, she is charming and attractive.

Sheng Yuan is not only a distinguished customer of Star Coast, he also owns shares.

Many guests go to Star Coast just to get in touch with him.

It has been three months since I last went there. Out of professional ethics and because I was tired of being asked about it, Wu Mei called to show her concern.

Sheng Yuan frowned and responded coldly, "I've been busy with other things recently. What's the matter?"

He took off his coat and sat on the sofa, bending his long legs.

Wu Mei's voice came out again, "Mr. Sheng, you are a noble person and you are busy with many things, but you need to relax occasionally."

For some reason, the image of Lin Mingmo appeared in Sheng Yuan's mind, and he suddenly felt that the kind of life of debauchery and revelry he had indulged in before was... a bit boring.

"Forget it." Sheng Yuan smiled faintly, "I..."

"By the way, Mr. Sheng, I met the daughter of the Lin family that you asked me about before. Do you want me to help you set up a party?" Wu Mei hurriedly stated her true intention.

The daughter of the Lin family?

Sheng Yuan rubbed his eyebrows, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.

Why would Lin Mingmo go to such a place? Could it be that she wanted to achieve her goal of marrying into a wealthy family, so she stopped pretending?

His eyes dimmed and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He had never seen a scene like this where a girl who pretended to be noble fell into the abyss.

"Then I'll have to trouble Sister Mei." Sheng Yuan said with great interest.

The dispute between Shengshi Group and Qiancheng Group has not been resolved yet, and Lu Cheng doesn't seem to be in a hurry. After making an appointment with Sheng Yuan, there has been no movement for many days.

As for Sheng Yuan, he doesn't care.

Every day you delay is a day you lose in the future.

Anyway, Lin’s business is basically the same as Qiancheng’s, so Shengshida can just terminate the ten-year cooperation and change a supplier.

One evening, Sheng Yuan received a call from Wu Mei.

His thick sword-like eyebrows were pressed down, his deep eyes were filled with some ripples, and his thin lips were slightly raised.

Although he really wanted to see the woman's graceful figure, he remained reserved and did not go out until an hour later.

When we arrived at Star Coast, it was already completely dark.

The air in the club was filled with the smell of alcohol mixed with fruit, and young men and women were dancing happily on the dance floor.

Sheng Yuan didn't stay for long and took the elevator upstairs to his reserved box.

Pushing open the door, the lights inside were brilliant and the music was deafening. Under the purple and blue neon lights, a dozen young women were dancing to the rhythm of the music.

They were so engrossed in the show that they didn't even notice the arrival of the protagonist they had been longing for.

Sheng Yuan glanced around before he saw a slightly embarrassed figure in the corner.

The light was dim and he couldn't see clearly.

"Mr. Sheng, the daughter of the Lin family is right there. She has been waiting for you for a long time." Wu Mei smiled flatteringly.

Although there were always rumors that Sheng Yuan was a playboy and accepted all kinds of women, she knew that it was very difficult to find a woman who could satisfy Sheng Yuan.

Over the years, she has only facilitated two relationships, and both lasted only two or three months and ended amicably.

Sheng Yuan's eyes were fixed on the figure in the corner.

Wu Mei was a little anxious, so she walked over and brought the person over.

Only when the woman came closer did Sheng Yuan see her face clearly. It was not Lin Mingmo, but she looked somewhat similar.

Sheng Yuan raised his eyebrows, not sure if it was out of disappointment or what, but in any case, his interest was mostly gone.

He didn't realize that the only person he wanted to see was Lin Mingmo.

"Are you Lin Mingmo's sister?" Sheng Yuan said in a low voice.

Lin Xingxi suppressed her inner excitement and looked into Sheng Yuan's eyes with a smile, "Mr. Sheng, have you seen my sister? You must have seen her..."

Sheng Yuan pursed his lips and looked at Lin Xingxi.

Compared to Lin Mingmo's cold appearance, she seemed more delicate and cute, with such a sweet smile, which was really out of place in the box full of lights and wine.

"Does your sister know that you came to this place?" Sheng Yuan asked in a calm voice.

Lin Xingxi frowned, put her index finger in front of her mouth, and said coquettishly: "This is a secret between us, don't tell her!"

As she spoke, she naturally hugged Sheng Yuan's arm, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Sheng Yuan didn't expect her to be so proactive. Is this a plan of the Lin family?

A shadow covered his deep brows, revealing a hint of disdain and contempt.

After a long silence, he frowned and said angrily, "Come out with me."

Lin Xingxi was startled and looked at Wu Mei. Finally, she gritted her teeth and followed Sheng Yuan out of the box.
