The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 237 The Mistress Forces the Original Wife to Abdicate
After Jian Xi forgave Lin Xiao for the second time, he would often say some pure nonsense to Tang Wanru.

"Do you think Lin Xiao and I are suitable?"

"Yes, we have been together since middle school, but this is all a school romance."

"So what if the romance in school is wonderful?"

"After leaving school, I felt that the men around Lin Xiao were getting better and better. I have always felt a little..."

"I feel a little insecure when I'm with Lin Xiao."

"Tang Wanru, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Thank you, I just want a dignified exit."

"..."

Sin, sin!

When the dog man thought about what he had said, he felt disgusted with himself.

But the effect was obvious. Tang Wanru, a silly girl who was always willing to practice "justice" in her heart, became Jian Xi's undercover agent.

In fact, she can't be considered an undercover agent. At most, if something is wrong with Lin Xiao, she will inform Jian Xi.

Didn’t she also leak the secret to Nan Xiang after she heard Gu Li and Xi Cheng had sex?
After all, no matter how you look at it, cheating is always "unjust".

Now, with Jian Xi's advance request, if she stabbed Lin Xiao in the back, it would be in line with the "justice" in her heart.

At least, the dog man thought that her behavior could be regarded as a "righteous act"!
……

However, on the other side, in Gu Li's villa, Ms. Tang Wanru, who has a "heart of justice", is feeling a little nervous at the moment.

She thought that after she secretly told the secret, it would be Jian Xi who would come to protect their love, but she never expected that the one who suddenly rushed into the villa was... the mistress?
Uh, the mistress pointed at the original wife's nose and cursed, which shocked Tang Wanru. She didn't know whether she should help or not.

Fifteen minutes ago.

Lin Quan, who had been calm and focused all the way in the car, finally arrived outside Gu Li's villa.

In November, the weather turned cold. Little Green Tea wore a light pink wool coat. The untied belt revealed the white low-necked sweater underneath when she walked. She also wore cashmere straight-leg pants and brown leather boots.

The sunshine was very bright in the morning. When it shone into the villa area, the little green tea seemed to be glowing white, thanks to Jian Xi's long-term physical nourishment over the past few months.

Looking at the villa in front of him, Lin Quan's eyes were calm.

In fact, she knew the address of the villa a long time ago. She only mentioned it tentatively at that time, but she didn't expect Jian Xi to tell her directly.

It was then that she began to vaguely feel that perhaps her senior had actually begun to gradually let go of his love rival.

Otherwise, the senior would never have mentioned anything about the love rival before.

In addition to her love rival, when she was chatting with her senior during this period, the senior also casually mentioned some things about her love rival's small group.

Although he didn't say much, Lin Quan also roughly knew that Gu Li's life was not as good as it seemed, that Nan Xiang and Gu Li had broken up, and that Tang Wanru was a fool...

As for Lin Xiao, this love rival, Lin Quan thought about it and sneered, Cricket is just a stupid woman!

The little leather boots made crisp sounds as they stepped on the marble floor, and the quiet outside the villa was no longer quiet.

Walking up the steps, Lin Quan paused in front of the villa's door for a few seconds, then politely pressed the doorbell.

During the waiting time, she tightened the small white leather bag in her hand, then exhaled and adjusted her facial expression. After all, it was an away game, so she was still a little nervous.

After a while, she heard the sound of slippers tapping behind the villa door, and when the sound ended, the door was opened.

"Gu Li, come back... uh..."

Tang Wanru was stunned as she looked at the strange woman in front of her, whose face was almost glowing with smile, and the words she was about to say suddenly got stuck in her throat.

She thought Gu Li was back.

"Hello." Lin Quan greeted with a smile.

"Hello." Tang Wanru, who was wearing cotton pajamas and pigtails, answered blankly, then came to her senses and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Lin Xiao."

"Oh, Lin Xiao, right? She's at home." Tang Wanru nodded. It seemed that this was not the person who knocked on the wrong door. She turned around and shouted loudly to the villa, "Lin Xiao, someone is looking for you!"

After she finished shouting, she turned to Lin Quan and said, "Come in and sit for a while. By the way, who are you?"

Lin Quan smiled and nodded, "Thank you, my name is Lin Quan."

As she spoke, she followed Tang Wanru into the villa.

"Lin Quan? Lin Xiao? You and Lin Xiao are not relatives, are you sisters?" Tang Wanru brought the woman who was suspected to be Lin Xiao's sister to the living room and sat down, and made a joke that she thought was very interesting.

"Sister?" Little Green Tea's face looked a little strange, but she still smiled and shook her head, "No, I've never met her before."

"Never met before?" At this time, Tang Wanru, who had poured a glass of water for the guest, was a little confused. After placing the poured water in front of Lin Quan, she asked curiously, "If we haven't met before, how do you know she lives here? Are you two online friends?"

"Thank you." Lin Quan squeezed the water cup on the table to indicate that he received it, then smiled and said, "We are not online friends. It was a friend of Lin Xiao who told me that she lived here. Actually, to be precise, I know Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao may not know me."

"..."

Lin Quan’s meaning was not very complicated, but for Tang Wanru, whose brain capacity was a bit small, she was already confused.

She could only laugh dryly and said, "Your relationship seems a little complicated. Let's wait for Lin Xiao to come down and tell you."

"Okay." Lin Quan responded and waited patiently.

Tang Wanru shut her mouth upon seeing this. She didn't know why, even though the beautiful woman in front of her was smiling, she always had a bad feeling.

Seeing that Lin Xiao hadn't come down from upstairs yet, she laughed dryly again and said, "Sorry, she may not have gotten up yet. She usually gets up too early for work and likes to sleep in on weekends. I'll go call her."

"Okay." Lin Quan nodded and smiled, "Thank you for the trouble."

After watching Tang Wanru running quickly upstairs, Lin Quan restrained the smile on his face and his eyes sank slightly.

……

"Lin Xiao, get up, Lin Xiao!"

After Tang Wanru rushed into Lin Xiao's room, she saw that she was still sleeping, so she went up to her and pulled back her quilt.

Lin Xiao, whose sleep quality had greatly improved, turned over and slowly opened his eyes, saying dissatisfiedly, "Wanru, what are you doing? Can't you let me sleep in on the weekend?"

Lin Xiao was sleepy, speaking incoherently, and covered himself with the quilt again.

"It's already this late and you're still sleeping?" Tang Wanru lifted the quilt again, "Someone is looking for you." Lin Xiao, who was about to cover the quilt again, paused and said, "Looking for me?"

She then opened her eyes and asked, "Who's looking for me?"

"His name is Lin Quan. I don't know him."

"I don't know him either." Lin Xiao closed his eyes again and covered himself with the quilt.

"But she said she knew you!" Tang Wanru lifted the quilt again.

After all this, Lin Xiao lost her sleepiness. She stretched herself, leaned against the bed and asked, "There are so many people who know me. I really don't know this Lin, Lin...Quan?"

"Then I don't know. She said she came to see you and is downstairs now." Tang Wanru helped to get Lin Xiao's clothes and threw them on the bed, then said, "When I heard her name just now, I thought she was your relative or sister!"

"Sister?" Lin Xiao didn't change out of her pajamas. She just threw her clothes on and went into the bathroom to wash up. "I'm an only child, but I don't have any sisters. I've never heard of anyone named Lin Quan among my relatives. Oh, by the way..."

Lin Xiao leaned out and asked, "Is this Lin Quan a man or a woman? What do you want from me?"

"Female, I didn't ask what she wanted to do with you, and she didn't tell me."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao was a little surprised: "Then why did she look for me?"

Shaking her head, she retreated back to continue washing. Tang Wanru thought about it and said with a worried look on her face, "Could he be here to collect debts? I always feel that Lin Quan has bad intentions."

There was no sound in the bathroom, only the sound of Lin Xiao brushing his teeth and washing his face.

After a long while, she came out and answered Tang Wanru's words.

"Impossible, I have never owed any debt. But how do you know that the person who came here has bad intentions? Her tone was very fierce?" Lin Xiao still did not change his clothes. He just stood in front of the mirror, combed his hair, and then put on the clothes he was wearing. As for shoes, it was more comfortable to wear slippers.

Tang Wanru shook her head and said, "That's not the case. She spoke very gently and smiled all the time."

"Isn't that good? Why do you say they have bad intentions?" Lin Xiao looked in the mirror one last time, then turned around and said, "Let's go! Don't keep people waiting."

"I just have that feeling, and..." At this point, Tang Wanru couldn't help but complain, "Now you know not to make people wait anxiously. I called you for a long time just now, but you refused to get up."

"Oh, hurry up and go meet me, your cousin now."

Lin Xiao pushed and pulled Tang Wanru out of the door, feeling somewhat curious about this strange woman who suddenly came to see him.

When she reached the stairs, she saw the mysterious visitor.

But the first moment she saw the other person, she suddenly felt a little regretful, regretting that she should have dressed herself more carefully just now.

Although Lin Xiao had just tidied herself up a little, and her appearance was not considered sloppy, but when she saw the woman in the living room downstairs bathed in the sunlight coming in from the window, she felt like an unkempt woman.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as messy beauty these days, and SpongeBob’s pink pajamas looks extremely out of place under his open cotton jacket.

After a little hesitation, she walked down the stairs.

Hearing the footsteps, Lin Quan, who had been waiting for a long time, turned around and looked over. Seeing the other person like this, she still maintained a polite smile.

However, when Lin Xiao looked at the woman in front of him, a strange thought suddenly came to his mind.

"I think I've seen this sister somewhere before?"

However, she couldn't remember where she had seen him before. After staring at him for a second, she smiled and nodded:
"You're looking for me? As if you know me but I don't know you, what can I do for you?"

Lin Quan did not reply at first, but just looked at her love rival with a smile. After such a long time, this was the first time she met him face to face, and at such a close distance.

After silently sizing up Lin Xiao for a while, the doubt on his face became more and more serious. When he walked down the stairs and just reached the back of the sofa in the living room, Little Green Tea smiled and nodded and said:

"Hello Lin Xiao, we finally meet. I came to see you because I hope you can take the initiative to leave Senior Jian Xi."

……

Gu Li has been very busy recently. Ever since she and her boyfriend Gu Yuan agreed at the beginning of the month to raise the company's valuation so that they could sell it to Gong Ming at a high price, she has been busy with this matter these days.

"Shenggu's three forest plots in the southwest will be purchased by foreign companies at a premium in two years and developed as tourism resources for wildlife reserves. If we buy them now, the value-added will be conservatively estimated to be around 300 million yuan."

In Gu Yuan's home, Gu Li and her boyfriend sat on the sofa and rehearsed the lines on how to play tricks on Gu Yuan's mother.

The filial son Gu Yuan, who was standing by, nodded after listening, and then asked, "But if I say it directly, my mother may not believe it."

"You are the person appointed by your mother to purchase Shenggu. If she doesn't trust you, who else can she trust?" Gu Li took a sip of coffee and continued, "But your words do need to be improved."

Gu Li put down his coffee, straightened his posture, cleared his throat, and spoke again:
"The current net asset value of Shenggu Group is 530 million. Of this, about 100 million is intellectual property that cannot be redeemed, and 50 million is goodwill, which was probably put together recently and has no actual value. Do you understand? When the time comes, you can tell your mother this first. As the saying goes, you must first criticize before you praise. Only then will your words be credible."

Hearing this, Gu Yuan smiled and nodded with his chin in approval.

It was as if he had thought of the scene where his biological mother Ye Chuanping would be fooled around by the two of them.

"Yes, it is indeed more credible. My mother might actually believe it."

"It's not a possibility, it's a must to make her believe it."

Gu Li rolled his eyes at him and his tone became serious: "If you can't even pass this first level, there's no need for us to discuss anything here. I'll sell the company as soon as possible, and you should listen to your mother and marry your fiancée as soon as possible."

"Haha, don't worry, my mom will definitely handle it." Gu Yuan consoled with a smile, but when he thought of his fiancée, his expression didn't seem very good again.

"What's wrong?" Gu Li glanced at him and asked, "Can't bear to part with your fiancée? Your mother likes her so much, so she must be very good in all aspects, right? She should be the lady from a wealthy family that your mother wants, right?"

When she said this, the words that Ye Chuanping used to scold her came to Gu Li's mind again. The four words "small family" almost became her obsession.

"Can't bear to part with her? A lady from a noble family?" Gu Yuan sneered, "She is not a good person. My mother was just deceived by her appearance."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "What kind of lady from a rich family would get together with her own driver?"

……

At noon, Gu Li, who had arranged part of her plan, returned to her villa in a happy mood. What made her even happier was that it turned out that the good daughter-in-law that her evil mother-in-law had chosen was also a cuckold.

Huh? Why should I say that?

After dispelling some bad thoughts, Gu Li happily pushed open the unlocked door of the villa.

"Ladies, I'm Back!"

As soon as Gu Li entered the room, she closed her eyes, raised her head and hands, waiting for the servants' greeting and cheers like a queen.

However, what awaited her was a quiet atmosphere.

As soon as Gu Li opened her eyes, she frowned at the situation in the villa.
