Chapter 134: Chapter 111: Seeing Through
When the story doesn’t involve the main male and female characters, the side characters’ plots won’t be shown.
So.
Ye Xiao didn’t know that after Lin Yun went back, she had sent Luo Li away and hired a professional to check her home.
Unexpectedly.
The place she rented was filled with numerous hidden cameras, over a dozen of them installed secretly.
Backdoors had also been placed in her computer; all her information was laid bare to Luo Li.
Just these two facts alone were enough to confirm that Ye Xiao’s inner thoughts were absolutely genuine.
Luo Li had indeed been harboring malicious intentions all along.
When Lin Yun confirmed this, she was somewhat in a daze.
She once gave all her trust to Ye Bingtong.
And then, she learned a painful lesson.
Now.
She placed all her trust in Luo Li.
Yet, he took advantage of her trust to secretly make all these moves.
So.
Was she really such a failure of a person?
Could it be that she herself also had a problem?
As her mood plummeted, Lin Yun couldn’t help falling into self-doubt.
It was at this moment.
Her phone screen lit up.
Lin Yun was taken aback.
It was Ye Xiao.
They had exchanged contact information when they had dinner at the Ye Family’s place.
Lin Yun somewhat blankly opened the chat.
Ye Xiao had actually sent her a photo.
In the photo was a delicately arranged room.
“Dad and Mom arranged a room for you based on their memories, doesn’t it look very similar to your old room?”
Then, there was also a little smiling face.
As Lin Yun looked, her emotions suddenly stabilized.
The parents of the Ye Family probably felt very guilty towards her, which was why they did so much.
So, the incident back then wasn’t her fault.
Right?
And she had just returned to the country.
Fate allowed her to hear Ye Xiao’s inner voice and let her know future events in advance.
She also had the chance to change the outcome beforehand.
This was a gift from heaven, wasn’t it?
This proved.
Even the heavens thought her original ending was too unjust.
So, it wasn’t her who was at fault, it was Ye Bingtong, it was Luo Li.
As Lin Yun looked, her lips curved into an unprecedented gentle smile.
She wasn’t completely alone; there were still people standing by her side.
Lin Yun earnestly replied, “Thank you. When I have the time, I’ll come and bother you.”
Lin Yun knew the Ye Family truly wanted to make it up to her.
But.
She didn’t feel the Ye Family had the obligation to do so.
This time she returned to triumph over Ye Bingtong with honor and free herself from her mental demons of many years.
These issues were between her and Ye Bingtong, unrelated to the Ye Family.
However, Lin Yun still accepted their kind gesture at this moment.
She still wanted to solve things by herself, but occasionally visiting the Ye Family might also be a good choice.
After all.
Her early discovery of Luo Li’s issues was all thanks to hearing Ye Xiao’s inner voice.
Ye Xiao.
Lin Yun silently repeated the name in her heart.
She felt.
Ye Xiao was the guardian angel sent to her by the heavens.
Otherwise, why would Ye Xiao know these things?
And why was she able to hear Ye Xiao’s inner voice by chance?
Since heaven favored her so, she naturally wouldn’t let herself suffer the so-called ending in the book this time.
Lin Yun was thinking this.
Suddenly a voice rang out.
“Xiaoyun, I’ve brought dinner home.” Luo Li walked in directly.
Lin Yun put away her phone and looked at him without a trace of emotion, “Put it down.”
“I chose everything according to your taste,” Luo Li said, his face wearing a gentle smile.
He naturally opened the meal box and sat down directly opposite Lin Yun.
Lin Yun glanced at the dishes.
Chosen according to her taste?
She clearly didn’t like heavy meals, so why were all the dishes extravagant? There wasn’t even a single refreshing vegetable in sight.
If it were before,
Lin Yun wouldn’t have questioned it; she would just try to eat a little, and when Luo Li asked if she liked it, she would even go against her own preferences and say she did.
Because,
for her,
Luo Li was her only friend and the only person she trusted.
She was afraid to lose him, so she preferred to suppress her real preferences rather than speak out and make Luo Li feel uncomfortable.
The former her felt she didn’t deserve to be loved, so Luo Li’s kindness seemed all the more precious and irreplaceable to her.
But now,
Lin Yun felt that she wasn’t a child nobody wanted; she too could be favored by the heavens.
So,
from now on, she would be kinder to herself.
“Xiaoyun, what’s wrong? Don’t you like it?” Luo Li was still gentle, “You’ve been too tired lately, you look a lot thinner, you need to nourish your body well. These, I prepared them especially for you.”
Luo Li was certain in his heart.
He had Lin Yun under his control a long time ago.
Even if Lin Yun didn’t like it, after hearing him say that, she would obediently eat.
But this time,
Lin Yun just glanced at him and put down her chopsticks, “Go buy it again.”
Luo Li thought he had misheard, revealing a confused expression, “What?”
“I won’t eat these. Pack them up, and give them to the sanitation workers. I want you to go buy them again,” Lin Yun said calmly.
Luo Li was stunned for a moment.
All these years,
this was the first time Lin Yun had resisted his arrangements.
He couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Actually, he had known Lin Yun’s preferences for many years.
But if he always catered to her, it would only bring out her spoilt temperament.
What he wanted was a well-trained, obedient wife, not an ancestor to serve.
Luo Li maintained his expression, still wearing that gentle facade, “Xiaoyun, don’t be capricious; I’ve told you, these are good for your body—you should eat a little. I traveled a long way to buy these, and it was very hard for me; you won’t let my efforts go to waste, right?”
Lin Yun looked down.
In the past,
she wouldn’t have thought there was anything wrong with such words.
She would just feel that she indeed should not be capricious, not trouble Luo Li.
But now,
Lin Yun just found it laughable.
She looked up and coldly said, “Luo Li, your duty is to be my assistant. All these things are part of your job. If you find it too hard or tiring, you can resign. I believe, finding a new personal assistant wouldn’t be too difficult.”
Luo Li’s smile stiffened.
Resign?
What kind of nonsense was that!
Over the years, he thought he had Lin Yun firmly in his grasp; he even planned to use Lin Yun to achieve a real social leap and become a member of the upper class.
Though their statuses seemed disparate, after all, Lin Yun was sick, relying only on him!
So, Luo Li had long regarded Lin Yun as his future wife, subtly training her without a trace.
But now,
his possession had risen in rebellion, even daring to tell him to resign?
“Xiaoyun, what’s going on? Are you in a bad mood?” Luo Li continued to ask with a gentle voice.
“Now, either go buy it again or I’ll find a new assistant,” Lin Yun said.
Luo Li didn’t believe it, and was about to say something,
when Lin Yun said, “I’ll count to three, and if you’re still here after that, sorry, I can’t afford your services.”
“Three…”
Without giving Luo Li a chance to speak, Lin Yun really began to count down.
Luo Li’s expression changed, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes; he stood up, still showing an accommodating face, “Alright, alright, our Xiaoyun is in a bad mood. I know, no matter how hard it is, I will find the food you like.”
He turned and left, as if he had been greatly wronged by Lin Yun’s single request.
Lin Yun watched his retreating figure with cold eyes, saying nothing.
What used to seem normal now felt all wrong.
Fortunately,
fortunately, there was Ye Xiao.
She was able to see Luo Li’s true face ahead of time.
