Chapter 158: The Young Woman from the Other Day

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Xiaowan said, “I should be the one asking you that. After all, I’m the one treating you to a meal.”

“Then I’ll have to think about it.”

“Okay. However, you’re not allowed to pick somewhere extremely expensive!” Lin Xiaowan quickly said, “Nevermind, you don’t have to think about it. I’ll do the choosing instead!”

“Okay, okay. Then will you come and pick me up from work, Qingqing?” Huo Zheng asked gently. Then, he quickly added, “Sister-in-law often goes to pick Brother up from work.”

In fact, Huo Zheng was not being very truthful. Qiao You’an did not go to Huo Cheng’s office if there was nothing important.

Lin Xiaowan did not think too much about it and said, “Alright. Then, I’ll tell the driver about this.”

Late in the afternoon.

The driver was waiting while Lin Xiaowan was choosing what shoes to wear at the entrance.

At this moment, Aunt Wu came over and said there was a visitor looking for Lin Xiaowan. The other party was Lu Yingxin, the young woman from the other day, so she did not dare to casually let the other party in.

Lin Xiaowan put her shoes on as she asked hesitantly with a frown on her face, “Did she say why she came?”

Aunt Wu replied, “She carried a cat with her. She said she wanted the cats to socialize. I guess she means that she wants the cats to play together…”

Lin Xiaowan had sensed the other party’s bad vibes so she was naturally not willing to meet the other party. She asked, “Where’s the driver? In the front porch?”

“Yes.”

Lin Xiaowan called the driver and asked the driver to wait for her in the underground garage. She could directly take the elevator down to the garage in the house. With this, she could avoid the other party.

After ending the call, she said to Aunt Wu, “I don’t know her. Just tell her that I have something to do and that I have to leave. Don’t let her in.”

Aunt Wu had spent quite some time with Lin Xiaowan so she had a certain understanding of Lin Xiaowan. As soon as she heard Lin Xiaowan’s words, she naturally knew Lin Xiaowan’s meaning.

After Lin Xiaowan left, Aunt Wu walked to the gate and said in a neither servile nor arrogant manner, “I’m really sorry, Miss. Second Madam has something to do and has already gone out.”

It had been ten minutes since Aunt Wu went in and came out again. Lu Yingxin knew that Lin Xiaowan was likely unwilling to see her. It did not matter if Lin Xiaowan had gone out or not, and it did not matter if it was true or not. No matter what, the result would be the same: she could not enter the house.

Lu Yingxin had noticed a silver Maybach parked on the front porch earlier when she arrived. However, in fewer than two minutes, it drove away. She surmised that the driver was picking up Lin Xiaowan.

Thinking about the big house, the luxury car, and how Lin Xiaowan had a driver to drive her around, Lu Yingxin felt extremely jealous and envious. She felt that it was extremely unfair. They were clearly about the same age. Why did she have to work so hard to please and flatter a fat old man only to get a bag while the other party could just sit back and enjoy all the wealth and glory? Moreover, previously, she was also scolded by the old man for having filthy thoughts.

The more Lu Yingxin thought about it, the more unwilling she felt.

‘He’s just a man no matter what. I don’t believe that a man can remain unmoved when faced with temptation…’

With this thought in mind, Lu Yingxin adjusted her expression and said with a polite smile, “Then I’ll visit again next time. I saw that there’s a cat here the other days so 1 thought we’d be able to exchange tips on raising cats…”

Lu Yingxin stroked the cat as she spoke. The cat had orange fur and round eyes. It was small and looked listless. Perhaps it was wary of the environment, it looked a little nervous as well.

Although Aunt Wu thought that there was no need for Lu Yingxin to visit again, she still smiled when she sent Lu Yingxin away.

When Lu Yingxin returned home, she casually tossed the small orange cat aside. It was not easy for her to come to Xilin Imperial Garden. Old Mr. Li had bought a house here, and she had to beg him every time she wanted to come over. The security of Xilin Imperial Garden was very tight so she could not casually come over on her own.

Initially, after convincing Old Mr. Li to let her come over, she thought she would be able to get closer to Lin Xiaowan. Unexpectedly, she failed to even see Lin Xiaowan, let alone speak to Lin Xiaowan.

Lu Yingxin found the cat to be an eyesore. She had bought the cat from a market for a very low price. In her eyes, it was thin and ugly. It did not want to get close to her at all. It trembled in her arms when she carried it.

“Stupid cat! You’re really ungrateful! If I didn’t buy you, you would’ve been abandoned!” Lu Yingxin said angrily as she kicked the cat.

The little orange cat yowled. After a while, it crawled over shakily to drink some water in a small bowl. Then, it curled up into a ball and lay still.

On the way to the Huo Corporation, Lin Xiaowan bought a bouquet of flowers. She was not very sure if Huo Zheng liked flowers. However, women were always happy to receive flowers. Although he was a man, she thought that he should be happy too.

Before she arrived, she received a call from Huo Zheng.

“Qingqing, where are you?”

“I’m waiting at the traffic light near the intersection. I should arrive within ten minutes.”

Huo Zheng replied, “Okay. I have a last-minute meeting. I’ll tell my assistant to wait for you at the entrance. Come up and wait for me, okay?”

Every time Huo Zheng spoke to Lin Xiaowan, his voice was gentle. It sounded like he was coaxing her.

“Okay, it’s fine if you have work. There’s no rush,” Lin Xiaowan said easily.

The doorman recognized Huo Zheng’s car and number plate. The car had just pulled and had yet to stop completely when he had already stepped forward to open the door. When he saw a slender hand reaching out, he was stunned and instinctively looked up.

Lin Xiaowan held a large bouquet of flowers and smiled at the doorman, revealing her dimples. She said softly, “Thank you.”

“It’s okay,” the doorman quickly said before he added tentatively, “S-second Madam?”

Before Lin Xiaowan could reply, Huo Zheng’s assistant, who was waiting at the entrance, walked over. “Hello, Second Madam.”

“Hello.”

Lin Xiaowan nodded at the doorman again before she left with the assistant. Since it was still within working hours, the employees were still around. When the receptionist on duty saw Huo Zheng’s assistant leading a young woman holding a bouquet of flowers to the elevator, she perked up immediately. She did not waste time and sent a message to the group chat.

[Receptionist: Second Madam is here! The president’s assistant brought her to use the president’s special elevator! She’s holding a big bouquet of flowers.. *crying tears of excitement*]
