Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 322 - 323 She is a Fool

Leng Weichen personally admitted that Lin Banxia was his companion tonight, which was enough to drive Anya mad with rage.

It was as if a few knives had been stabbed into her chest, the pain overwhelming and desperate.

She had always believed that she was the one most suited for Leng Weichen, but never expected that before she could even confess her feelings, Lin Banxia had stolen him away.

This grudge had already grown beyond mere resentment. In an instant, she felt Lin Banxia had ruined her entire life.

An impulse surged in her, as if wanting to drag Lin Banxia down with her to mutual destruction.

Anyone with eyes could see Huo Anya teetering on the verge of collapse, yet Lin Banxia merely looked at her with cold indifference.

Towards Huo Anya, Lin Banxia herself carried deep resentment.

The last time she destroyed the pear garden, Lin Banxia had not settled accounts with her, leaving only Old Sir Huo to step in and organize repairs and pay compensations.

Huo Qinglin, though also sending warning and jealous looks toward Leng Weichen, had learned to control his emotions by now.

Perhaps one failed relationship had forced Huo Qinglin to mature a little, making him carry himself with growing steadiness.

That failed relationship, however, had been Lin Banxia’s gift to Huo Qinglin—an unwelcome rite of passage.

It was only after he understood what love truly was that his heart, without a doubt, had already been stolen by Lin Banxia.

"Anya, let’s go sit over there for now. Don’t embarrass yourself here," Huo Qinglin didn’t address Lin Banxia directly, but his gaze clearly conveyed his dissatisfaction with her choice to accompany Leng Weichen.

Exhausted, Huo Anya followed her brother to a nearby chair and sat down, bitterness staining her tearful eyes as she glared at Lin Banxia with seething hatred.

Leng Weichen hadn’t expected Anya to lose herself in such madness, and he felt faintly irritated.

Lowering his gaze to glance at the girl beside him, whose expression remained composed, Leng Weichen asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine," Lin Banxia shook her head.

"I just don’t understand why Miss Huo is acting like this," Leng Weichen said, vexed.

"You really don’t see it? She likes you!" Lin Banxia scoffed lightly.

Furrowing his brows tightly, Leng Weichen replied, "I knew she was fond of me, but I didn’t expect her to resent you being near me so fiercely."

"A woman’s jealousy is far more dangerous than you might think." Lin Banxia suddenly recalled her own past self.

Though she hadn’t been as brazen as Huo Anya, she had tasted the bitterness of jealousy to its fullest. It was far more painful, far more disorienting, than a knife slicing through the heart. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Back then, she was like a lost soul, obsessing over the gossiping celebrities, models, beautiful female employees, and even the social partners tied to Huo Qinglin. As long as they were women—young and attractive—she would spin scenarios in her mind, imagining them entangled improperly with her husband.

"Let’s grab a seat over there. Standing is exhausting," Leng Weichen looked at Lin Banxia again, noticing her drifting into her own thoughts, and gently offered.

Lin Banxia cast a somber glance at Huo Qinglin, who was seated opposite her, seemingly lost in his own thoughts as well. It was impossible to tell what was on his mind.

Retracting her gaze, Lin Banxia threw away the sorrows of her past life from her thoughts.

As she followed Leng Weichen to find a seat, the commotion at the door suddenly drew everyone’s attention.

Lin Banxia’s two small hands resting on her lap instinctively clenched the fabric of her dress.

Excited chatter reached her ears: "It seems Mr. Huo and his new girlfriend have arrived."

These words were like a boulder crashing down on Lin Banxia’s chest, causing her breath to come in constricted, painful gasps.

Leng Weichen’s eyes casually swept over Lin Banxia’s face, spotting her tense expression. He immediately understood what was happening.

Huo Yanting had discarded her, but her heart was still inexplicably tethered to him.

Such a foolish woman!
