Chapter 194 Mu Chaoran and his wife come to visit
This time, Lin Xige was really hurt badly by Mu Chaoran.
The couple sleeps in the same bed.
But they are different bedfellows.
They were sleeping together, within arm's reach of each other, but their hearts were drifting apart.
.........
Lin.
It was already early morning, and the sky was gleaming with paleness.
The light was still on in Lin Bingxue's bedroom.
How could she sleep?
My life is going to be ruined!
"Useless, such a waste. He couldn't even do such a small thing well. Not only did he fail, but he even got himself involved..."
Lin Bingxue paced back and forth in the room, her face pale, and she looked a little mentally unstable.
Shen Shen nagging.
"Have they given me up? I heard that Mr. Mu is very good at forcing me to confess under torture... Can they survive it?"
"Oh, no one has contacted me so far, so I should be safe, right?"
"This Li Fang is really something. She always appears in front of me when I don't want to see her. Now that I need her, she disappears like a ghost."
"What should I do? Am I going to die soon? I don't want to live a hard life. I can't stand it!"
Lin Bingxue kept mumbling and was very anxious.
She didn't know what was waiting for her next.
Maybe someone from the Imperial Garden would come at daybreak, and President Mu would bring Lin Xige to the Lin family.
Or maybe, President Mu will take her directly to the Imperial Garden!
Lin Bingxue has lived under the doting of her father and mother since she was a child, and her parents have always taken care of everything for her.
When she grew up, she got engaged early, and her fiancé was there to help her with everything.
She is almost carefree.
So, when she realized that Lin Xige was coming to take away everything from her, she chose to strike the most severe blow without hesitation.
Without her current life, Lin Bingxue would be no different from being dead.
She was used to spending money lavishly without considering the price, and she was used to being doted on by people around her, being the center of attention...
How could she bear the ordinary life in obscurity!
Lin Bingxue watched the sky outside the window gradually brighten, and became more anxious and uneasy.
"How about..." she thought, "I should just run away?"
But where to run to?
How to run?
If she left Haicheng like this, she would never be able to come back, and would completely cut off ties with the Lin family. She would also be wanted nationwide by Mu Chaoran.
Lin Bingxue thought of all the possible solutions in her mind, and in the end, she could only wait quietly.
Sit back and wait for death.
The sky gradually brightened, then became brighter, and the sun rose.
In the Lin family villa, everyone was busy with their own work as usual, and there was no sign of anything unusual.
Mother Lin walked into the restaurant, checked the time, and asked, "Where's Bingxue? Hasn't she gotten up yet?"
"Yes, ma'am," the servant replied. "Shall I go upstairs and hurry them up?"
"No need, let her sleep a little longer," said Lin's mother. "She likes to sleep in, let her be. Anyway, there is nothing to do today."
Mother Lin is particularly loving and caring towards her only precious daughter.
I just want to give her the best of everything in the world.
Mother Lin also instructed, "Ask the kitchen to leave some breakfast and keep it warm. When the ice and snow warm up, we can eat it right away."
"Good lady."
Mother Lin sat down.
I had just taken two sips of tea when I saw Father Lin walking towards the dining table while talking on the phone.
"Okay, I understand. Yeah, okay."
Father Lin responded twice, hung up, and put away his phone.
"What's the matter so early in the morning?" Lin's mother asked curiously, "You are frowning."
Father Lin said: "Mu Chaoran and Mrs. Mu will come to visit us later, and we have to welcome them. And..."
Mother Lin looked at him and said, "You need to finish what you are saying. What does it mean to say half of it?"
"Mu Chaoran specifically asked to see Bingxue. I don't know what he was thinking. His assistant specifically emphasized that Bingxue must be present and cannot leave for any excuse or reason."
This was obviously directed at Lin Bingxue.
When Lin's mother heard this, she became unhappy and put the teacup down heavily.
"Although Mu Chaoran is a new noble in Haicheng and holds great power, all the wealthy and prestigious families have to look up to him and give him some face. But, isn't he too overbearing... If Bingxue has something urgent to do today, she can't go to do it. Why does she have to make time to wait for him?"
Lin's mother loves her daughter very much and doesn't want her to suffer any injustice.
Mu Chaoran came again with a threatening attitude, as if he was bullying someone.
So, Lin's mother was very dissatisfied.
Father Lin patted the back of her hand and softened his tone: "Maybe it's something important."
"We only have normal dealings with the Mu family. We are not close friends and we don't have close business cooperation. What important things can he have?"
"Oh, think positively. It's possible that Mu Chaoran specially brought his wife to visit you this time for good reasons."
Speaking of this Mrs. Mu, Lin's mother asked, "I haven't seen her yet. I only caught a glimpse of her on the news. She's pretty and looks quiet. Hey, Master, are you familiar with Mrs. Mu?"
Father Lin shook his head.
"I hope it's a good thing," said Lin's mother, "but I don't like Mu Chaoran's style and manner. It was just a visit, but he acted like he was giving a notice, so arrogant... After all, we are his elders, he should have some basic respect. Fortunately, I didn't betroth Bingxue to him in the first place."
"By the way, where is Bingxue?" Speaking of Lin Bingxue, Father Lin looked around, "Where is she? Why hasn't she come for breakfast yet?"
"Still sleeping in the room."
"Then hurry up and wake her up and get her dressed up." Father Lin urged, "Mu Chaoran will be here soon."
Mother Lin snorted, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let your daughter have a good sleep and rest. We don't know when President Mu will come."
"It's half an hour later." Father Lin replied, "We still have to be polite when receiving guests."
The Lin family is unwilling and does not wish to offend Mu Chaoran.
They are all wealthy and prominent families in Haicheng, and well-known figures, so naturally, being able to maintain superficial harmony is the most important thing.
It is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
Besides, the Mu Group is becoming more and more powerful in Mu Chaoran's hands. Maybe in the future... Lin's Company will need to rely on the Mu Group.
Father Lin turned his head to look at the housekeeper: "Go, wake Bingxue up."
"Yes, sir."
The housekeeper went there immediately, went up to the second floor himself, and knocked on the door of Lin Bingxue's boudoir.
"Miss, Miss?" The housekeeper called several times, "It's almost nine o'clock, it's getting late, you should get up...Miss?"
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Bingxue's voice came out: "I'll sleep a little longer and not have breakfast. Don't worry about me. I'll get up and go downstairs by myself when I wake up."
"Miss, there are guests coming to our house, and the master asked me to wake you up."
