Wrong marriage! The black-bellied uncle wants a legitimate status every day

A hint of displeasure flashed in Sheng Yuan's eyes.

But in order to see Lin Mingmo's reaction, he held back and didn't lose his temper.

Lin Mingmo also suppressed her emotions, took a deep breath, and looked up at the well-matched man and woman opposite her.

She forced a smile, "Thank you in advance for your care!"

As she spoke, she raised the glass of juice and clinked it with Fang Yaqi's.

Sheng Yuan narrowed his eyes and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

good very good.

It really is worthy of your usual style, Lin Mingmo.

"You have to treat others nicely." Lin Mingmo turned the cup towards Sheng Yuan again and deliberately said some witty remarks in a relaxed tone.

Fang Yaqi loved listening to it and laughed so hard that she was shaking with laughter.

She kept patting Sheng Yuan on the shoulder, "A Yuan, did you hear me? You have to treat me well!"

Sheng Yuan's slender fingers were tapping rhythmically on the table, when they suddenly stopped.

He picked up the wine glass and gently touched Lin Mingmo's glass.

The glass collided with each other and made a crisp sound, but Lin Mingmo seemed to hear the sound of something shattering on the ground.

The meal was tasteless.

Fang Yaqi was in high spirits and kept talking, and Lin Mingmo could only give some ambiguous responses.

Finally I found an opportunity to use the excuse of going to the bathroom to take a break.

Lin Mingmo had just splashed the cold water from the faucet on her face when a low, hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Did you enjoy the performance?"

Lin Mingmo paused and her heart tightened.

Why did Sheng Yuan follow him again? Wasn't he afraid Fang Yaqi would suspect something?

She took a deep breath, then turned around with a smile, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

Sheng Yuan's eyes darkened.

"Pretend, keep pretending."

If they weren't in a restaurant right now, he would have been unable to restrain himself from asking her, "Is this fun?"

"You're absolutely right. Even if I'm pretending, I'll keep pretending to the end." Lin Mingmo controlled her expression, with a hint of contempt on the corners of her mouth.

"Is this really what you want?" Sheng Yuan's eyes dimmed, and even his voice became a little hoarse.

"I wonder if you've ever heard this saying? Being a rich widow is more enviable than being a rich wife. My life now is no different from that of a rich widow. I have money, and I don't have to serve men I don't like... It's so comfortable."

I guess Sheng Yuan has never heard of this, because this sentence was made up by Lin Mingmo.

"How can this not be what I want? Many people beg for it but can't get it!"

Lin Mingmo covered her mouth and chuckled.

She tried to appear as materialistic and vulgar as possible.

Sheng Yuan's eyes were gray, and he looked at her stubbornly and indifferently, with an unclear meaning surging in his deep eyes.

"One last time, seriously..."

"Really, really, really!" This time it was Lin Mingmo who interrupted him impatiently. She guessed what he was going to ask, "Even if I ask you ten thousand times, the answer will be the same!"

She spoke without thinking, quickly and urgently.

Sheng Yuan's gaze slowly faded, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth gradually turned into mockery.

Lin Mingmo wasn't sure whether the person was laughing at her or at him.

"Then... I'll go back first." Lin Mingmo smiled awkwardly and politely, walked around Sheng Yuan, and quickly returned to the dining table.

When I saw Fang Yaqi's sunny face, I suddenly felt that she and Sheng Yuan were indeed a good match.

The two of them might be the best male and female protagonists in the original script, and she is at best a minor supporting role next to the male protagonist.

"Xiaomo, you look very unhappy. Are you feeling unwell?" Fang Yaqi asked with concern.

Lin Mingmo forced a smile and shook her head, "I'm fine, well... I suddenly had something to do, so I'll leave first."

Fang Yaqi didn't try to keep him.

She had long wanted to find an excuse to get Lin Mingmo to leave and stop being a third wheel.

She smiled and waved, "Okay, bye!"

After leaving Hera Hotel, Lin Mingmo walked aimlessly on the street.

got windy.

The wind blew up the fallen leaves on the ground, drawing a curve and falling at her feet.

In an instant, Lin Mingmo empathized with the leaf.

She seemed to see her own shadow.

Suddenly, I really want to see what happened to the Lin Group. Did the benefits gained by sacrificing her really allow the Lin Group to return to its glory?

So Lin Mingmo raised her hand to hail a taxi and went straight to Lin's.

Compared to Shengshi Group, which is located in the city center, Lin Group is much more remote, almost in an industrial park outside the Fifth Ring Road.

The Lin Group is not conspicuous among many companies, and Lin Mingmo walked straight into the company gate.

The management here is relatively lax, especially during the lunch break. Lin Mingmo took the elevator to the sixth floor without any obstruction.

She had only been here when she was a child, but it hadn't changed in more than a decade.

It seems that Shengshi Group's consecutive investments of hundreds of millions of dollars have not made much of a splash.

Lin Mingmo walked towards Lin Lidong's office with ease.

She lightened her steps mischievously, preparing to give Lin Lidong a surprise.

Suddenly, a string of silver bell-like laughter came from Lin Lidong's office.

This laughter came from a woman.

If it was just an ordinary laugh, it would be fine, but this one clearly exudes a sense of seductive allure.

Lin Mingmo stopped and put her ear to the door like a thief, wanting to hear what was going on.

"Mr. Lin, you're amazing! You easily laundered the money Shengshi invested in the company into your own account!"

Then there was a rustling sound.

Lin Mingmo frowned, suppressed her nausea, and continued listening.

"My dear girl, when I have settled everything, we will elope together and go abroad to be a happy couple!"

This sentence was said by Lin Lidong.

“…I’m not following you!”

"I can divorce my wife! The child... the child is not mine... neither of us is!" Lin Lidong's tone was full of regret.

"Oh! Even though she's not your biological daughter, you wouldn't be able to get so much money if it weren't for her!"

Lin Mingmo was in a daze for a moment before she suddenly realized that the "child" those two people were talking about was herself and Lin Xingxi...

She and her sister are not Lin Lidong's biological children?

how come? how come!

Lin Lidong had clearly taught them since they were little, "You are children of the Lin family, so you must sacrifice for the glory of the Lin family..."

In the end, it turned out that she was not Lin Lidong's biological child.

Lin Mingmo suddenly panicked and wanted to push the door open to find out what was going on, but she stopped the moment she pushed the door open.

My mind is very confused.

Lin Mingmo almost retched, and fearing that she would attract the attention of the people in the room, she had to flee in a panic.

After stumbling out of the company, Lin Mingmo couldn't help it anymore. She bent over and retched while holding onto a tree by the roadside.

She has been living under tremendous pressure, from her parents and herself...

It's not that she hadn't doubted whether Lin Lidong and Yao Yuhui really loved her, but she convinced herself every time.

There are no parents in the world who don’t love their children.

But...but...

What she overheard today was a real blow to her!

Lin Mingmo was so heartbroken that she felt suffocated, her mind went blank, and she was sweating profusely.

She lost all her strength and slowly slid down the tree trunk.

She pinched her thighs hard with her nails to stay awake.

Looking up, the sun is shining brightly, the sky is clear and blue.

Lin Mingmo thought to herself that she hadn't thought about coming to the company for more than ten years, but she suddenly came today.

Maybe this is fate.
