Chapter 117 I Won’t Wait for You Here
Lin Yanrong's face turned pale in an instant. She turned to Lin Shuhuai helplessly, tears welling in her eyes: "Mommy, you really need to listen to my explanation!"
Lin Shuhuai's face was as cold as ice, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable determination: "Then you'd better give me a reasonable explanation and tell me what nonsense you just said!"
Lin Yanrong's lips trembled, but she couldn't squeeze out a word. She knew in her heart that every word the housekeeper said on the phone was true, and she had no way to defend herself.
Lin Shuhuai's anger intensified as she watched her. She knew her daughter well enough to know that Lin Yanrong had gotten herself into trouble again, and that this time, she had crossed Mrs. Lin's bottom line.
Lin Yanrong could only cry helplessly, she knew she had made a big mistake this time.
Lin Shuhuai stared at her coldly as she cried for a while, then said in a cold voice, "Have you cried enough? If you have, apologize to me!"
Lin Yanrong was so frightened that she dared not resist and could only do as Lin Shuhuai said. "I'm sorry, Miss Ye, I shouldn't have said that to you." Her voice was tearful, and she apologized while sobbing.
"And I'm sorry, Auntie." She turned to Mrs. Lin again, her voice full of regret.
Ye Wanqing looked at this scene and felt that the matter had been resolved, so she glanced at the watch on her wrist: "It's getting late, Mrs. Lin, I should go back. I will come to see you again tomorrow."
By this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and it was indeed not appropriate to keep Ye Wanqing any longer. Mrs. Lin nodded slightly: "Housekeeper, you should see Miss Ye off."
Ye Wanqing smiled and refused: "No, butler, I can do it myself."
She waved her hand gently, signaling the butler not to bother. Seeing this, the butler returned to his post.
At this time, Lin Shuhuai took the initiative to speak: "Miss Ye, let me take you there."
Ye Wanqing looked at Lin Shuhuai. This little aunt of Lin Xuan had always been polite and distant to her. But at this moment, her eyes revealed a hint of sincerity.
Ye Wanqing knew that Lin Shuhuai must have something to say when he offered to send her off. She did not refuse: "Then I'll trouble you, Mrs. Lin."
Lin Shuhuai responded with a smile: "This is what I should do."
As he spoke, Lin Shuhuai accompanied Ye Wanqing to the gate of the villa. Ye Wanqing's car was parked in the driveway outside the villa. Lin Shuhuai walked her to the car before speaking:
"Ms. Ye, I heard you're here to help Mrs. Lin with her health. She's old and hasn't been sleeping well lately. Master Chen retired last year, and you're the only one who can inherit his skills. You've really taken the trouble to care for Mrs. Lin."
Ye Wanqing responded with a smile: "Mrs. Lin has always been very kind to me. This is what I should do."
Lin Shuhuai said with emotion, "I've never had any prejudice against you. I'm also very sorry about what happened between you and Xuan. That child didn't know how to cherish others, and he lost such a good person."
Ye Wanqing frowned slightly, as if she didn't want to talk about the past too much: "It's all in the past. There are also some things I didn't do well enough."
Lin Shuhuai looked at her with admiration in his eyes. "We all know your character. Mrs. Lin and I admire it very much. Yanrong grew up in the Lin family and was spoiled. After studying abroad, she is still immature and doesn't consider other people's feelings when she speaks or acts."
"As her mother, I am also responsible for her disrespect towards you. I solemnly apologize to you here, Miss Ye." As he said this, Lin Shuhuai bowed slightly and saluted Ye Wanqing.
Ye Wanqing quickly said, "Mrs. Lin, please don't be like this. Miss Lin has already apologized, you really don't have to be like this."
Lin Shuhuai insisted, "This is what I should do. You are our Lin family's benefactor, how can we let you suffer any injustice?"
After apologizing, Lin Shuhuai looked at Ye Wanqing and said, "It's getting late, Miss Ye, please be careful on the road."
"Then I'll go first, Mrs. Lin." Ye Wanqing nodded, then opened the car door and got in.
As soon as she sat down, she saw through the car window the familiar black Rolls-Royce slowly driving by. She knew it was Lin Xuan's car.
Ye Wanqing adjusted the temperature in the car, started the car, and slowly drove away from the Lin family's gate. She felt a mixture of gratitude towards the Lin family and a sense of relief from the past.
Lin Xuan's sudden appearance made Lin Shuhuai feel a little surprised. She looked calmly in the direction where Ye Wanqing had left, a faint smile on her lips, then turned around and walked gracefully back to the villa.
Lin Yanrong had stopped crying, but her eyes were still red and she looked a little embarrassed. Lin Shuhuai glanced at her coldly, his voice without a trace of warmth:
"Go to the study and reflect on your actions. You don't need to eat tonight, and you are not allowed to leave the study before nine o'clock. Otherwise, your journey in the entertainment industry will be over."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xuan walked out from the shadows of the living room. His eyes fell on Lin Yanrong's red and swollen eyes, and his brows unconsciously frowned:
"What happened?"
Lin Shuhuai glanced at Lin Xuan lightly and said calmly: "She said something she shouldn't have said to Miss Ye."
Lin Xuan's face darkened instantly. Lin Yanrong wanted to ask for help, but when she saw Lin Xuan's cold eyes, she could only lower her head and walk silently towards the study.
After Lin Yanrong disappeared, Lin Shuhuai turned his gaze back to Lin Xuan: "You seem to be taking it easy today."
"Yeah." Lin Xuan simply replied, his expression still calm, as if he didn't notice the hidden meaning in Lin Shuhuai's words. "Where's mother?"
"He should be resting upstairs." Lin Shuhuai replied indifferently.
At this time, the housekeeper slowly walked down the stairs. Seeing Lin Xuan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Master, you are back?"
"Yeah." Lin Xuan nodded gently, "How is Grandma doing recently?"
"Mrs. Lin said she wanted to take a nap, and Miss Ye accompanied her in painting for a while. She should still be resting now." The housekeeper answered respectfully.
Hearing the housekeeper's words, Lin Xuan's eyes flickered with surprise. He remembered that Ye Wanqing often accompanied Mrs. Lin to paint, and whenever the housekeeper mentioned dinner on the phone, he would always mention this. However, since their divorce, Mrs. Lin rarely painted anymore, and he hadn't heard such news for a long time.
Lin Shuhuai was leisurely savoring the exquisite tea and snacks, with a playful smile on his face: "Miss Ye's craftsmanship is indeed extraordinary."
She looked up at Lin Xuan with a playful look in her eyes: "Would you like to try it?"
Lin Xuan didn't refuse and casually picked up a piece of the dessert and put it in his mouth. The delicate taste, sweet but not greasy, reminded him of the time when Ye Wanqing always liked to make these little snacks when she was at the Lin family. However, he had never tried it before.
The housekeeper added, "Mrs. Lin's favorite is the dim sum made by Miss Ye. The taste is always just right."
Lin Xuan finished the last bite of his snack and stood up: "I'm going to the study to deal with some documents."
Lin Shuhuai glanced at him sideways, a mocking smile on his lips: "Always being stubborn, now you regret it?"
Hearing this, the butler smiled and shook his head: "Young Master may just be a little slow in reacting."
"If you are slow to respond in love, the other person may not necessarily wait for you." Lin Shuhuai took another sip of tea and sighed in his heart. The divorce of Lin Xuan and Ye Wanqing was really a big loss for him.
The housekeeper nodded slightly, agreeing with Lin Shuhuai's words. Lin Xuan, with a frown on his face, hurried upstairs.
