After Lin Liqing left, Lin Wanzhen thought about it and then asked Yao Qian to recommend a lawyer to help Lin Liqing handle the Lin family's assets.

"I'll go."

"No, everyone knows about my relationship with the Yao family. If you go, who knows what the rest of the Lin family will think. Recommend a lawyer who is good at handling these kinds of things, and only tell Lin Liqing that I sent him."

"Alright," Yao Qian agreed, deliberately not looking for someone from his own law firm, but instead asking an old classmate.

Lin Liqing originally did not want to involve Lin Wanzhen, but when it came to the matter, many people still gave her face.

"Mr. Lin, did you go to see your sister?"

"Mr. Lin, what did President Lin say? Is there any inside information?"

"Mr. Lin, is the company being sold to Ms. Wanzhen? We don't want to lose our jobs."

Lin Liqing was somewhat at a loss. He knew that his sister had achieved some success, but had not yet joined the ranks of the top billionaires. He did not expect that her success would be so deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people.

Lin Wanzhen did not want to get involved in the Lin family's affairs, but instead bought the Lin family's old house at a high price.

A month later, Lin Liqing settled his family affairs and met with Lin Wanzhen one last time before leaving.

"Wanzhen, thank you for your help."

"I didn't help much, I just introduced a lawyer to me."

"No, many people made things convenient for you because of your reputation; otherwise, those things might not have been enough to cover the debt gap." Lin Liqing knew very well that without Lin Wanzhen's name backing them up, the Lin family's assets wouldn't have sold for this price.

"What happened to the rest of them?"

"I wanted my mother to come live with me abroad, but she said she couldn't get used to living abroad and couldn't get along with my wife, so she refused to leave. We've already sold off the house, and my mother might stay with my uncle."

"Does the Yan family also own property?"

"The house we live in now is still here, and some jewelry is still here," Lin Liqing said somewhat guiltily. His uncle saw through his scheme and helped him deal with the debt problem, taking advantage of his connections and methods.

That is, they borrowed Wanzhen's name.

Looking at his expression, Lin Wanzhen thought for a moment and then understood: "Did you use my face?"

"Wanzhen, I never intended to use your name. Uncle, after I finished discussing the debt, he went right after. By the time I found out, I had already finished negotiating with several lenders, so I couldn't tell anyone else to make him pay the full amount."

"Hmm, it's nothing." Lin Wanzhen shook her head indifferently.

"Will this cause you trouble?"

"No, even though you don't do business, you've grown up in this circle. It's human nature to curry favor with those in power. Those lenders aren't necessarily giving me a lot of face. They just don't want to offend me and want to quickly resolve the debts between the two families. They're not so foolish as to ask me for favors."

"I'm sorry, Wanzhen." Lin Liqing apologized again, and then said, "I took out my savings and left a shop for Liqiang. Let him do whatever he wants with it. As for Baozhen, there's really nothing left in the house. There's nothing left to leave her."

Lin Wanzhen showed no expression and did not interrupt.

Lin Liqing continued, "Baozhen told me that the small house she used to live in on Yilan Street is still under her name, and she can transfer it to you as a small reward for helping this time."

Lin Wanzhen remained noncommittal. She didn't even care about such a small house, and she wouldn't live there anyway. As for whether or not she wanted it, that depended on her mood!

"Dad," Lin Liqing's voice was heavy, "His condition is not suitable for him to go abroad for the time being, so I sent him to a sanatorium. I will pay the fees on time."

"Well handled. You've had a tough time. Now that the Lin family isn't backing you up, you should focus on building your own life."

"Yes, thank you, Wanzhen. This is my phone number abroad. You can contact me if you need anything."

Lin Liqing left, and Lin Wanzhen stood on the company building watching his figure disappear into the distance.

Yao Junze came out of the office lounge and hugged her waist from behind.

"Bad mood?"

"No, I'm just feeling a bit sentimental."

"Shall I make you some soup tonight?"

"Let the housekeeper cook it. Your hands are too precious; save them for surgery."

"It's their honor to make soup for you."

"You ate candy, your mouth is so sweet!"

What's the use of eating candy? I'll eat you instead.

Lin Wanzhen felt it was time to get married, and she planned to order a ring in a few days and get married once it was finished.

At a cocktail party, Lin Wanzhen, dressed in a custom-made traditional Chinese style evening gown, greeted and chatted with people with a smile.

In a corner of the party, a sarcastic voice spoke: "Your Lin family has fallen from grace, and you still have the nerve to come to this kind of high-end party?"

"Oh dear, don't say that. She is, after all, the wife of the Tao family," another voice said gently, but with a subtle hint of sarcasm.

Lin Baozhen's voice was tense and sharp: "Your families have also been affected, so what are you pretending for? We're all in the same boat."

"Hmph, you can't expect anything good from a dog's mouth. No wonder your father didn't want you back then. Is there really something wrong with your birth chart? It's bad luck. Now that you're back, the Lin family is doomed, and the Tao family might too."

"Shut up!" Lin Baozhen's voice rose, drawing attention to the conflict.

Lin Wanzhen was behind some greenery. Just as she was about to come out, Tao Mingya suddenly appeared and scolded Lin Wanzhen in a low voice.

"Don't you have any manners? What are you yelling about? Aren't you ashamed?"

"It's them."

"What happened to them? Did they scream? What kind of place do they come from? If I had known you were like this, I should have married Wanzhen."

Lin Baozhen's breathing grew heavier and heavier.

The gentle voice from before added insult to injury: "Yes, when has Wanzhen ever been so rude? It's just that her fate is really something else."

Lin Wanzhen's calm voice came through: "I don't like people talking about me behind my back."

The group froze for a moment, then the woman with the gentle voice smiled and said, "Wanzhen, it's been a long time."

Who are you?

The woman almost lost her smile, awkwardly introducing herself: "I'm your third sister-in-law. I even helped you choose fabric for your clothes when you and Mingya came to visit before."

"Third sister-in-law? I don't have a third sister-in-law. Even if she were to become one, shouldn't she be in court or at the Yao family's house?" Lin Wanzhen didn't give her any face at all.

Originally, when the argument between the group was attracted by Lin Baozhen's loud voice, few people paid much attention. However, once Lin Wanzhen arrived, more people took notice, and many pricked up their ears to listen to their conversation.

The woman's face flushed red; she wanted to get angry but dared not offend Lin Wanzhen.

Tao Mingya put on what he thought was his best smile: "Wanzhen, she and her mother bullied you so much back then, and even beat you up. I'm going to get revenge for you."

"You look down on me? Or does your Tao family look down on me? Do you think I need you to vent my anger on? A man who can't even protect his own wife wants to take out his pent-up frustrations on me? You're a joke!"

"Wanzhen, the affection we had back then..."
