My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 115 - 114 You’re the Prettiest1

Didn’t have time to think about why it was in the villa, quickly answered it.

On the other end was Lemon.

"Lin Zhenxin! Do you know how many times I’ve called you since yesterday? Do you know how worried I was after seeing the news? Why are you only answering now? Are you alright?" Yao Lemon cried as she spoke.

From yesterday to now, she must have called Lin Zhenxin a hundred times, but each call was like a stone sinking into the sea!

"Lemon, don’t cry. I’m fine." Although her body and voice were still weak, she was much better than yesterday.

"Where are you? I want to see you!" Only seeing her in person could truly set Yao Lemon’s heart at ease!

Lin Zhenxin was at a loss for words, she didn’t really know the exact location of the villa.

Just as she was thinking, the phone next to her ear was taken away by a large hand.

Accompanied by the magnetic voice, Li Yanan had already told Yao Lemon the address.

After the call ended, Li Yanan returned the phone to Lin Zhenxin, who then noticed there were over a hundred missed calls.

"Let your friend come to keep you company, I have some matters to attend to."

"Li Yanan..." Lin Zhenxin reached out and tugged at his suit pants.

"Hmm?" Li Yanan bent down slightly in front of her, and Lin Zhenxin suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her soft lips against his.

Li Yanan was completely unprepared, his hands still propped against the dining chair.

Just as he reached out to hold her, Lin Zhenxin released him, her small face turning bright red.

She didn’t know why, but his action of taking the call just now had really touched her heart.

"Thank you... for taking care of me last night..."

Lin Zhenxin turned her face away, the blush spreading to her ears, making her recovering face look much healthier.

"If you really want to thank me, next time..." The last part was whispered by Li Yanan in Lin Zhenxin’s ear.

Lin Zhenxin’s eyes widened; he actually wanted to...

She instinctively glanced at the sofa, her face turning crimson.

"Dream on..."

Not long after Li Yanan left, Yao Lemon arrived.

Astonished by the villa in front of her, her eyes almost popped out, let alone seeing Lin Zhenxin opening the door.

"Is this your husband..." Yao Lemon was at a loss for words to describe the shock in her heart.

"Come in first." Lin Zhenxin knew she must have a lot of questions.

Yao Lemon snapped back to reality, darted in front of Lin Zhenxin, and after confirming she was fine aside from her complexion, she hugged her and burst into tears!

Since seeing the news yesterday, her heart had been in her throat; unable to reach her by phone or find her, she almost went crazy with worry.

"I’m fine, it was just a fever." Lin Zhenxin chuckled; Yao Lemon’s temper was just like a child’s.

"You’re not fine, I was worried sick!"

Yao Lemon cried her heart out, but seeing her friend safe eased the anxiety that had plagued her all day.

"I really am fine, see, I’m doing well now?" Lin Zhenxin quickly handed Yao Lemon a tissue.

"How did the news suddenly come out? Could it be because of the Li Family... your husband’s mom’s grave was...?"

Yao Lemon glanced at Lin Zhenxin but didn’t finish her sentence.

"I feel like Shelley did this."

In fact, Lin Zhenxin had a premonition before, and the events that unfolded merely confirmed it.

"Did you dig up her ancestors’ graves or what, why is she against you?" Yao Lemon was beyond furious.

Lin Zhenxin shook her head, clearly not wanting to continue the topic.

The conversation flowed, and after a while, Lin Zhenxin entered the kitchen to fetch some fruit, casually turning on the television.

Soon after, Yao Lemon, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly yelped, startling Lin Zhenxin, who flinched in front of the fridge.

"Zhenxin, come out quickly!"

Lin Zhenxin rushed out of the kitchen.

"What’s wrong?" she asked, a bit bewildered.

"Look at the TV!" Yao Lemon pointed at the television in horror.

Following her gaze, Lin Zhenxin’s expression froze, her eyes widening.

It was Shelley?

"Isn’t that your station director?" Yao Lemon’s voice echoed in Lin Zhenxin’s ears, but she couldn’t respond.

Indeed, it was the director, along with the director’s daughter who caused a scene last time, and his wife.

"Why is she acting like a madwoman?" Yao Lemon was genuinely shocked.

Having seen Shelley before, she couldn’t reconcile her image with the disheveled woman on TV, wielding a knife wildly like a lunatic!

"I’m a disgrace, please forgive me, I don’t want to die..."

Shelley, barely clothed, was kneeling in front of the director’s family, her wrists and ankles with raw bite marks, deep enough to see the bone!

Her entire body would occasionally convulse, and all of this was being broadcast live.

Lin Zhenxin’s eyes widened; just the last time she saw Shelley, she was fine, but in such a short time...

"I don’t want to die... spare me..." Saying this, Shelley started cutting her own face with the knife, drawing gasps of horror from the surroundings.

Even the director’s daughter, who caused a scene last time, huddled pale-faced in her mother’s arms!

"Someone wants to harm me... someone is harming me... save me..."

Shelley’s screams came through the TV, and Lin Zhenxin’s hand trembled, dropping the glass she was holding onto the floor!

With a crash, it shattered into pieces!

The sensational headline added to the live broadcast was heart-stirring.

Yao Lemon, having cursed Shelley earlier, was still stunned by the scene, the sound of the glass shattering made her shiver!

Seeing Lin Zhenxin’s face pale as paper, Yao Lemon quickly turned off the TV!

With the TV off, silence filled the villa’s hall.

Lin Zhenxin remained standing, her previous posture unchanged, feeling cold to the bone!

Intuition told her this had something to do with Li Yanan!

"Zhenxin, are you alright?" Yao Lemon steadied herself, only to see Lin Zhenxin head upstairs without a word, heading towards the study.

Yao Lemon quickly followed.

Entering the study, Lin Zhenxin went straight to the silver laptop she used before, opened the browser, and began searching with keywords.

Soon, user-uploaded videos surfaced online.

Hands trembling, Lin Zhenxin clicked play.

Chaotic, noisy sounds erupted, presenting a scene far more graphic and bloody than the TV broadcast.

Yao Lemon was stunned too.

Shelley was truly taking a knife to her own face, slicing deep and convulsing from the pain!

The video was only a minute and a half long!

Holding her breath, Lin Zhenxin watched it to the end, Yao Lemon sticking by her side, enduring the horrifying minute and a half!

She almost felt like throwing up!

Lin Zhenxin sat silently in the leather chair, her eyes glazed over.

Did Yanan do this?

If he really did...

Lin Zhenxin shivered, unable to fathom the thought!

"Lemon... let’s go shopping!" Lin Zhenxin tilted her head up, speaking softly, masking the tremble in her voice.

"Huh?" Yao Lemon was taken aback.

She just recovered from a fever; was shopping alright?

But before she could voice this, Lin Zhenxin slammed the laptop shut, grabbing her arm, leading her downstairs...

The two took a cab to the city center.

This was T City’s busiest and most prosperous area, the crowd giving Lin Zhenxin a slight sense of safety.

Throughout the way, her mind kept replaying Shelley’s screams and those bloody scenes.

Yao Lemon felt her hand being clenched tightly by Lin Zhenxin, to the point of pain, almost as if it might get crushed!

The phone rang, and Lin Zhenxin glanced down; it was Li Yanan calling.

She instinctively hung up!

He called again, and she hung up again!

It was like a test of endurance!

Even Yao Lemon, slow as she might be, could vaguely guess something seeing this pattern!

Only when they entered the mall did Lin Zhenxin finally find a place to sit down.

Yao Lemon sat next to her, thought for a moment, and went to buy her a hot milk.

Without a word, Lin Zhenxin accepted it, warming her hands.

"Could it really have been Li Yanan who did it?"

Yao Lemon hesitated to voice her question; the villa and the impression Li Yanan left her with felt far from simple.

Lin Zhenxin didn’t respond, and Yao Lemon fell silent as well.

"Tell me honestly, does he abuse you?" Yao Lemon pursued, determined to get to the bottom of it.

"He wouldn’t!" Lin Zhenxin reflexively countered.

"On the contrary, he protects me too much." Once the topic began, Lin Zhenxin couldn’t help but think back to everything from when they first met to the present, reluctantly admitting that Li Yanan was truly too good to her, so good... it made her feel somewhat guilty.

"I’ve told you about Shelley and the director, but that day when Shelley sought me out, she told me the director never sent that email, and it vaguely felt like Yanan hired someone to do it! Yesterday when the news broke, I got so anxious I spiked a fever, and today Shelley was involved in an incident..."

"If he really did it... I’m saying if, would you... be afraid?"

After years of friendship, Yao Lemon could understand Lin Zhenxin’s tangled emotions.

Lin Zhenxin raised her head and looked at Lemon, her clear eyes filled with complex emotions.

She didn’t answer the question, and that was what had been troubling her all along!

Surprisingly, she wasn’t afraid of Li Yanan at all; what worried her most was whether he left any loose ends if he didn’t handle it well.

Such thoughts completely contradicted the proper upbringing Lin Zhenxin had received since childhood!

"Why not let’s go upstairs and take a look, I want to buy some decent clothes for Gu Daxiong."

Yao Lemon cleverly changed the subject.

Lin Zhenxin nodded and followed Yao Lemon onto the escalator.

With heavy hearts, the two walked into a designer men’s clothing store, and due to their attire, the staff didn’t approach them.

Yao Lemon listlessly browsed through, noticing that any shirt here cost three to four thousand yuan.

Lin Zhenxin’s gaze fell upon a black shirt in the display cabinet.

She didn’t know how long had passed, but the previously indifferent staff suddenly swarmed toward the entrance like bees drawn to nectar, cheerily greeting an arrival, and when Lin Zhenxin casually glanced over, she paused for a moment.

She then tugged on Yao Lemon, gesturing toward the entrance.
