Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 522 - 503: Killing Someone with a Borrowed Knife
In the afternoon, Lin Banxia called her mother, Cheng Roning, and told her about Old Sir Huo coming to propose. Cheng Roning was overjoyed, repeatedly saying that Lin Banxia was her greatest pride and that she was truly happy for her. ππ»πππππ«π£π€πππ΅.ππ€π’
Lin Banxiaβs own mood was delightful, full of joy, as if happiness was just within reach.
But it also seemed that the car accident involving Yan Ting was drawing near.
Lin Banxia didnβt dare to look at the date signed in the diary. Only ten days remained...
Lin Banxiaβs heart inexplicably grew uneasy, chaotic and restless.
According to the current timeline, in ten days, she still wouldnβt have become his wife.
The wedding at the end of the monthβthere were still seventeen days until the end of the month!
Lin Banxia clutched her chest tightly. She didnβt dare to mention anything about this car accident to anyone, because she was afraid.
She had actually wanted to tell Yan Ting about it, but she was also scared. Would he think she was too bizarre? Would he think she was some kind of ghost from a previous life? What if she frightened him away?
Lin Banxiaβs heart was full of torment. She was so timid that she didnβt dare to tell him the truth.
No matter what plans he had for that day, she wouldnβt let him go out. She needed to make sure he lived through that day safely.
Lin Banxia glanced at the date. She knew that a year from now, Old Sir Huo would pass away!
Thinking of these sorrowful matters, Lin Banxiaβs mood grew heavy once more.
That evening, a wealthy matron was hosting her birthday party. Luo Mei attended as an invited guest. As soon as she entered, she caught sight of a familiar figure.
Lu Huan Ning saw Luo Mei and immediately became proactive. "Auntie, hello, my name is Lu Huan Ning. Iβm a friend of your sonβs."
Luo Mei cast her a cold, dismissive glance. "No need to introduce yourself. I know who you are. Youβre the one to blame for ruining the relationship between my son and Lin Banxia."
Luo Mei knew of Lu Huan Ning because she had arranged for an investigation into her and had seen her photos.
Lu Huan Ning, now put on the spot, froze for a moment. Flustered and at a loss, she hastened to explain, "Auntie, you must be misunderstanding something. I didnβt interfere in their relationship. Qing Lin loves me!"
"Oh, really? Are you sure he truly loves you?" Luo Mei let out a cold laugh, then mocked, "If he loves you, why is he acting like heβs dying for Lin Banxia? Lu Huan Ning, donβt you feel pathetic? You, who at least have some fame, lost to the likes of a completely useless Lin Banxia. Even I feel embarrassed for you."
"What? Auntie, what did you just say? Qing Lin likes Lin Banxia? Thatβs impossible! I know that Qing Lin used to absolutely despise her. How could he possibly like her now?" Lu Huan Ning, deeply stung, forced a smile while trying to make sense of it.
Luo Mei lifted her chin and gazed at her condescendingly. "I thought you were smarter than this. Turns out, you donβt even know who my son loves, and yet you dare cozy up to me here?"
"Auntie, are you serious?" Lu Huan Ningβs face turned pale.
"Donβt you think I know my own son? He does like Lin Banxia now, and heβs been utterly lost in despair ever since sheβs preparing to marry Yan Ting. Lu Huan Ning, do you hate Lin Banxia? If you do, go ahead and take revenge on her." Luo Mei suddenly felt that using someone else to deal with a problemβa borrowed bladeβwas a highly effective idea. She intended to leverage it. Lu Huan Ning stood there frozen. She had been frantically searching for the seductive vixen who had bewitched Huo Qinglin, only to realize in the end that she had once again lost to Lin Banxia. What a cruel joke.
