Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 368 - 369: A Friend Comes to Show Off
Chu Tingting calmed herself down. After carefully analyzing the situation, she felt that she could happily collaborate with Huo Qinglin.
As long as Huo Qinglin quickly took Lin Banxia away, then Huo Yanting naturally wouldn’t fight his brother for a woman.
That’s right, it really was a perfect plan. Besides, Huo Qinglin must be in a tough spot right now too.
After all, Lin Banxia was Huo Yanting’s ex-wife. That status alone could make Huo Qinglin retreat in the face of difficulty.
Even if he were a profligate who trampled on the baseline of morality and was indulged by Mrs. Huo, if he wanted a good ending with Lin Banxia, he’d have to endure a torrent of doubts.
Chu Tingting was genuinely afraid Huo Qinglin might be a coward, only bold enough to like Lin Banxia but utterly lacking in the courage to act.
As long as Lin Banxia was touched by Huo Qinglin, He Yanting would surely find her dirty and despise her, right?
Chu Tingting didn’t want to take risks. If she wanted a perfect ending with Huo Yanting, Lin Banxia had to be dealt with beforehand, one way or another. Either she married someone else, or she fled abroad and stayed out of their lives for good.
Otherwise, as long as she remained in this city, she would be like a ticking time bomb, ready to shatter her happiness at any moment.
Chu Tingting made up her mind to pick the most opportune time to find Huo Qinglin and join forces with him.
After witnessing the dangerous moment when a stone struck Huo Qinglin’s head, Lin Banxia felt deeply uneasy.
She was, in fact, quite afraid that the Huo Family would come after her if they ever learned the truth.
However, a phone call from Qi Han gave her a bit of comfort.
He told her that Huo Qinglin wouldn’t reveal he got injured trying to save her and that the Huo Family wouldn’t find out.
Lin Banxia sat in a rocking chair, carefully revisiting the memories of her past life.
In her previous life, Huo Qinglin had been utterly disgusted by her, refusing even to touch her.
Why, then, did he seem entirely different in this life, even willing to risk his life to save hers?
What exactly was the cycle of fate?
Lin Banxia felt utterly dazed. Could her assumptions have been wrong? Wasn’t everything destined to happen the same way in her past and present lives?
Could it be that the car accident Huo Yanting was supposed to face wouldn’t happen this time?
If that were true, it would be great. It would free her from her constant anxiety.
Still, for safety’s sake, on that day, she decided she wouldn’t let Huo Yanting leave home no matter what.
Suddenly, her phone rang!
Lin Banxia picked it up and glanced at the screen. To her surprise, it was Zhang Yike, who had once asked her to help with a job referral.
She hadn’t expected Zhang Yike to ever call her again.
"Hello, Yike!" Lin Banxia kept up her outward appearance of friendliness.
"Banxia, want to meet up? I’m at the usual hotpot place near the university," Zhang Yike’s cheerful voice came through.
Lin Banxia paused for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I’ll come over!"
When Lin Banxia drove to the hotpot restaurant near the university town, she saw Zhang Yike sitting alone by the window.
She was dressed in a black-and-white business suit layered with a black wool coat, exuding the polished air of a career woman.
In contrast to Zhang Yike’s professional attire, Lin Banxia appeared much more casual: a pair of jeans, a long sweater, and a short leather jacket. Her long hair fell over her chest, giving off a hint of a college student’s charm, as if she had yet to fully step out of campus life.
"Yike, you... started working?" Lin Banxia approached and asked with a smile.
Zhang Yike looked up at her, clearly pleased, and replied, "Yes, I’m now working in the Huo Group’s design department."
Lin Banxia was startled, but then something seemed to dawn on her. Unable to think of anything better to say, she forced a laugh and said, "Congratulations!"
