Chapter 927 Her Ambition
Lin Zhiyi was startled by the sudden question.
She quickly said, "I was curious because I just heard it. If Mrs. Gao is disgusted, I won't ask."
"Forget it, you might as well go to the orphanage and ask me." Mrs. Gao looked at Lin Zhiyi, as if waiting for her answer.
Lin Zhiyi laughed and said, "I won't go into other people's business."
"Okay, let me ask you about the red dress you wore just now. What do you think of it?" Mrs. Gao asked.
Lin Zhiyi took the opportunity to look like a model.
Tall and slender.
Mrs. Gao is plump and not suitable.
But judging from her expression, she must like it very much.
Lin Zhiyi felt that if she said something flattering against her will, Mrs. Gao would not be able to wear it well even if it was custom-made, and would instead resent her.
She whispered, "Mrs. Gao, this style was sold out in less than a week at the Jingshi counter. This shows that it is not popular in Jingshi. Choose the peacock blue dress next to it."
"Are you lying to me? I saw someone posting this skirt on my WeChat Moments a few days ago." Mrs. Gao said.
Lin Zhiyi didn't expect this, but since the words were already said, she could only explain it back.
"Then you can't wear it, or people will think you're imitating her. If you believe me, you can try that peacock blue dress now. It must look great."
"Really? I'd like to see it. Don't try to trick me."
Mrs. Gao walked over to the manager and pointed at the skirt.
Mrs. Gao, who changed into her skirt, immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone praised her for her good selection.
Mrs. Gao loved being flattered, so when she heard these words, she immediately bought the skirt.
After changing back into her clothes, she walked up to Lin Zhiyi and stuffed a piece of paper into her hand.
"for you."
Lin Zhiyi lowered her head and took a look, and there was actually an address on it.
After she entered the map on her phone, it showed an orphanage.
Looks like a good harvest today.
Next we sat together to chat and eat snacks.
Before I knew it, it was already past four in the afternoon.
After Lin Zhiyi said goodbye to Mrs. Jia, she felt extremely sleepy as soon as she got in the car.
I didn't even pay attention to Gong Chen's message until I got off the car and saw Gong Chen walking hurriedly towards the door.
"Third Master, where are you going?"
"Why don't you answer the phone?" Gong Chen asked hurriedly.
Lin Zhiyi looked at her cell phone and found that she had just taken a nap in the car and Gong Chen had called her many times.
"Sorry, I fell asleep in the car."
As soon as Lin Zhiyi finished speaking, she was carried into Gong Chen's arms.
"Be sure to answer the phone next time."
"Well, I will." Lin Zhiyi comforted.
"I just want this to be over quickly."
This is the first time I heard such a negative tone from Gong Chen's mouth.
Lin Zhiyi raised her eyes and said, "I just happened to have some news, what about you?"
Gong Chen nodded: "Go up and talk."
"it is good."
Back in the room, Lin Zhiyi quickly ordered some food.
The food for afternoon tea was not enough to fill her up, and she needed energy to digest the information she had received.
After a while, a bowl of steaming noodles was brought into the room.
Lin Zhiyi lifted her skirt, sat on the chair and started to eat heartily.
Gong Chen looked at her, smiled, and poured her a glass of water.
"Is afternoon tea not delicious?"
"These foreign managers are really deceiving. They say the tea is foreign, but it's not fragrant at all, and the desserts are greasy. Almost everyone just tasted it, and by the end of the meal, the desserts on the table were broken."
Lin Zhiyi said this and took a big mouthful of noodles with a slurp.
Gong Chen raised his hand to wipe the soup that splashed on her cheek and continued, "Eat slowly. I'll tell you what I found out first."
"Yeah." Lin Zhiyi nodded.
"Mrs. Sun's name is Xia Chun. She is an orphan. She took the initiative to seek financial support from Mr. Sun. I think the other wives should have told you what happened during that time. She married into the Sun family by pleasing Mr. Sun."
"Mr. Sun's son, Mr. Sun said that Xia Chun is not a simple woman. Every step she takes seems to have her own purpose. At first, they all thought she was just a gold digger, and it was nothing to let her spend some money to please the old man."
"Later, it was discovered that she had used the old man to interfere in the company's affairs. That is, as Mr. Jia said, she had handled some of the company's business when the old man was ill. When Mr. Sun found out, he immediately banned her from entering the company."
Lin Zhiyi wiped her mouth and chuckled, "Isn't this Mr. Sun making a big deal out of nothing? Xia Chun is just handling some things for her husband. Is it necessary for him to be so scared?"
Gong Chen said, "Of course it's not that simple. Mr. Sun discovered that Xia Chun has been whispering in the old man's ear. Not only that, she has also been reading the old man's documents in private. Her ambitions are definitely not limited to these few businesses. Mr. Sun just doesn't want there to be any problems with the final will."
"Ok."
Lin Zhiyi nodded.
Whether it is for his own benefit or the benefit of the Sun family, Mr. Sun’s approach is understandable.
Gong Chen continued, "I heard that Mr. Sun sounded angry, so he must be hiding something. Mr. Jia gave him a few more glasses of wine, and he told everything."
Lin Zhiyi asked curiously: "What did he say?"
"He said Xia Chun seduced him."
"..."
Lin Zhiyi thought of what Mrs. Gao said.
The son inherits the father's legacy.
But for some reason, she was somewhat reluctant to admit that Xia Wan was such a person.
Although Xia Wan's eyes looked calm, they contained many stories.
Lin Zhiyi said: "You can't trust a man's words. No matter how wrong you are, it can't be your fault."
Gong Chen raised his eyebrows, but Xiaoxiao didn't object.
He said, "Indeed, the seduction issue does need to be investigated, but he and Xia Chun did have a relationship, and it was before the old man died. After the old man's health deteriorated, Xia Chun showed a weak and fearful expression in front of Mr. Sun many times."
Lin Zhiyi curled her lips: "Then he thought this twenty-something stepmother seduced him? He is indeed a man."
"Zhi Yi, you seem to be disgusted with talking about Xia Wan." Gong Chen asked back.
Only then did Lin Zhiyi realize that she had been arguing all along.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what happened. Maybe he knew Xia Wan was an orphan."
Gong Chen hummed and continued, "As you said, Mr. Sun was indeed tempted. He and Xia Chun were flirting with each other until the old man passed away. During that time, he relaxed his vigilance against Xia Chun. It was not until the old man's lawyer announced the will that he realized that he was bewitched by Xia Chun."
"Confused?" Lin Zhiyi said in surprise.
"Although Xia Chun married the old man, no one took her seriously. Even if she was mentioned in the will, it was just a small amount. Who would have known that the old man left one-third of his property to her?"
Lin Zhiyi asked, "She is the old man's wife anyway. It's not too much to get half of her. One third should be fine too. Maybe the old man really likes her?"
"What if the will was finalized before Xia Chun showed up?"
