Quick Wear: Plan to Save the Unrequited Boss

Chapter 238 It’s not a life-saving straw, it’s a gift 18

The next day, Wen Ling went to find Lin Ran.

Lin Ran was not surprised at Wen Ling's arrival. If she hadn't come to find her, she would have gone to find her.

After pouring a glass of water for Wen Ling, Lin Ran spoke first.

"Could you please not tell your brother about what happened yesterday?"

She knew Wen Yu's temper best. If he knew what happened last night, he would definitely not let her stay in the country. Lin Chong and Wu Qian had not received the punishment they deserved, so she could not leave yet.

"If you want to deal with the Lin family, why don't you find my brother? It won't be difficult for my brother."

Wen Ling needed to understand the joints inside before she could answer her question.

It certainly can't be done for him.

"I want to resolve my own grudges myself."

She must avenge her mother, especially her sister, with her own hands. She hates her own weakness. Her sister has protected her since she was a child, and even at the last moment, her sister gave her hope of life. She hates her incompetent self.

She is simply not a match for Wen Yu. She understands that Shen Nan doesn't like her, and she also doesn't like herself being so weak and useless. It seems that she is a burden to others wherever she goes. She urgently wants to grow up.

"So, you showed up in front of the Lin family at the banquet just to attract Wu Qian and get her to deal with you, so you could find leverage?"

That’s indeed the case, Lin Ran nodded.

"I was careless. If you hadn't arrived in time last night, I don't know what the situation would be like now."

Wen Ling lowered his eyes and took a sip of water, then looked up at her. "Excuse me, but using yourself as bait isn't a smart move. People usually only gamble on themselves when they have no other options."

Lin Ran smiled bitterly. She wanted to take revenge with her own abilities, but it seemed that there was nothing else she could do except using herself as a bargaining chip.

Wen Ling didn't know about the grudge between her and the Lin family, but from yesterday's situation, she couldn't tell that Lin Ran was anxious.

"If you want to take revenge on your own, that's fine. Asking for help is also a way for you to get revenge. You can ask my brother to give you some guidance and you can do it yourself."

"Sister-in-law, you are too impatient."

After what happened yesterday, Lin Ran calmed down a lot. Now after hearing what Wen Ling said, she knew that she was too stubborn and had the wrong idea.

"I understand. I'll tell your brother."

Wen Ling nodded. Then the matter would be much simpler later. Even though her brother did not personally take part in the matter and was only giving instructions from behind, the Lin family would not have a peaceful life.

Thinking of Wen Yu, Wen Ling joked to Lin Ran, calling him his brother.

"My brother has an endless supply of tricks to deal with people. If you want to grow up, don't worry. Let me teach you a few more tricks."

-

"I can't thank you enough for saving my life. I'll be back in Country W soon to run your business for you."

Fu Qi sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, biting an apple in one hand. His face was still bruised and purple, looking a little scary.

"So you came back just to give him a chance to kill you?"

"Just think of it as paying him back for all the care he's given me over the years."

Fu Qi didn't take it seriously. Ji Wenli chuckled, "You're quite good at settling accounts."

Fu Qi stood up and tossed the apple in his hand. "I came here just to tell you that I'm going back. No need to see me off."

Wen Ling came in just as Fu Qi was leaving.

"Goodbye, Sister Wen Ling."

He said hello casually and left with an apple in his mouth.

"It seems like each of your friends has a story to tell?"

Wen Ling sat down next to him, a look of curiosity on her face.

"What do you want to know?"

He asked, looking into her sparkling eyes.

"Then let's talk about Fu Qi first. Who wanted to kill him yesterday?"

"He's his older brother, I guess. Fu Qi was picked up by his grandmother when he was twelve or thirteen years old. His last name was Huo, so he's considered Huo's illegitimate son."

Wen Ling blinked, "The current head of the Huo family is called Huo Qiao, right? But I haven't heard that the Huo family has another son."

Ji Wenli lowered his eyes and played with his hands.

"That's the Huo family's previous generation's secret. Fu Qi's mother was born in a rural town. She didn't have a good background, but she was beautiful. She was forcibly taken away by Huo Ming, the previous head of the Huo family, and later Fu Qi was born. Huo Qiao's mother was also cruel and ruthless. She had a big fight with Huo Ming, and then they both backed down. Fu Qi was left behind, but Fu Qi's mother had no background, and the Huo family was determined to make it difficult for her. She couldn't find a way to support herself, and later she fell ill and died from the struggle to survive."

"So Huo Qiao knew Fu Qi was an illegitimate child and couldn't tolerate him, so he sent someone to kill him?"

Wen Ling frowned. This didn't make sense.

Ji Wenli shook his head. "The only one in the Huo family who was kind to Fu Qi was Huo Qiao. However, Fu Qi was determined to seek justice for his mother. Despite his young age, he teamed up with the Huo family's mortal enemy, got evidence against Huo Ming, and sent the couple to prison."

Hiss, twelve or thirteen years old is a ruthless person.

"So the relationship between the two brothers broke down later?"

Ji Wenli nodded. "No matter how dirty the Huo couple's actions were outside, they did maintain a very good image in front of Huo Qiao. After the Huo family got into trouble, Huo Qiao naturally knew that Fu Qi was involved and just thought that the Huo family had raised an ungrateful person."

"So when Huo Qiao asked him to meet him after returning home this time, he went without any precautions. It was like repaying the kindness he had shown him over the years."

Wen Ling was silent for a moment, "Fu Qi must have had expectations of Huo Qiao when he left."

"What about the two friends who practice cultivation with you?"

Wen Ling continued to ask.

Ji Wenli was stunned for a moment, "Are you so curious about me?"

Being curious about his friends means wanting to know more about his circle, and to round it off, it means being curious about him.

Wen Ling was waiting to hear the story, so she naturally followed his lead and said, "I'm very curious, so tell me quickly."

Ji Wenli felt happy.

"Shen Fan's becoming a monk is related to Lin Ran's sister."

Wen Ling raised her eyebrows in confusion. The information she received didn't mention that the heroine had a sister.

"When Lin Chong's first wife was still alive, the Lin family had two children, Lin He and Lin Ran, who were twins. Because my grandmother and Shen Fan were close friends regardless of age, I know a little about what happened back then."

Everyone really has a story to tell, Wen Ling listened attentively.

"I heard from grandma that Shen Fan's parents were in a deeply abusive relationship. Shen Fan's father was in love with Shen Fan's mother and forced her to marry him. Shen Fan was also the bargaining chip that Shen Fan's father used to tie his mother down, but he failed. In the end, his mother committed suicide, and his father followed suit."

The first half of Shen Fan's parents' story is somewhat similar to that of Wen Yu and Lin Ran, but one has a good ending and the other has a bad ending.

Ji Wenli continued, "Shen Fan had seen his father go crazy for his mother, so he's been very resistant to love since he was a child. It's said that Lin He fell in love with Shen Fan at first sight. I don't know if that's true, but he definitely beat Shen Fan up for a while afterwards."

"Later, Lin Chong's first wife, unable to accept her husband's infidelity, committed suicide. Wu Qian then took her two children into the family. Not long after, sisters Lin He and Lin Ran were involved in a car accident. It's unknown if it was man-made, but when Lin He was in the accident, she called Shen Fan for help, but Shen Fan didn't answer. In the end, only Lin Ran survived the accident."

"Lin Ran was able to go abroad thanks to Shen Fan. Not long after this incident, I don't know what Shen Fan was thinking, but he became a monk."

So that's how it is. Wen Ling couldn't help but sigh. It sounded like the grudges of the previous generation were a mess and couldn't be sorted out, affecting the younger generation.

"Do you think Shen Fan was finally moved by Lin He?"

Ji Wenli was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid only Shen Fan himself knows this."

"What about that little Taoist priest?"

When asked about Mo Beijin, Ji Wenli pursed his lips.

"Pure social anxiety."

This reason left Wen Ling with no way to refute it.

In the end, Lin Ran did follow Wen Ling's advice and asked Wen Yu for help, because there were several more zeros in the chat box between Wen Ling and Wen Yu.

Wen Ling probably knew why. His brother was probably very happy that Lin Ran could rely on him and ask for help.

The cold was getting stronger and stronger, and the Spring Festival arrived as scheduled. During the Spring Festival, Lin Ran could not stand Wen Yu's urging and returned to Country W. She had to come back after the New Year. Now she had set a trap for the Lin family, waiting for them to jump into it.
