Jiang Wan Yu looked at him with deep sympathy and said, “Yi Chen, you’ve gone through so much.”
Not only did he have to watch out for Lin Haowei, but he also had to navigate the complexities of dealing with the Xu family.
On top of that, he had to develop his own career under the watchful eyes of both families.
Countless challenges had consumed his energy and efforts.
Seeing the tender gaze in Jiang Wan Yu’s eyes, Lin Yi Chen’s heart softened.
He had been waiting for this day, the day she would accept him again.
He reached out and pulled Jiang Wan Yu into his embrace, and said, “As long as you and Dian Dian are well, all my efforts are worth it.”
In this world, there was no one more important to him than the two of them.
In the following days, Lin Yi Chen stayed in Jiang Wan Yu’s apartment to recover from his injuries.
However, as the current CEO of the Lin Group, an extended absence would raise suspicions.
So, after his gunshot wound had healed, Lin Yi Chen had to leave for work.
“Don’t overwork yourself. Delegate what you can to Xu Ce, and take care of your health,” Jiang Wan Yu reminded him before their parting.
She had also taken a few days off from her job at Huacheng Real Estate using the excuse that it was time to return and continue working.
Lin Yi Chen’s expression turned sour when he learned that Jiang Wan Yu was going to work for Yi Lingfeng.
“Xiaoyu, please don’t trust Yi Lingfeng. He has ulterior motives for getting close to you. He’s doing it to seek revenge on me.”
Jiang Wan Yu couldn’t help but ask, “Why? Do you have some sort of grudge with him?”
She had never heard Yi Lingfeng mention any animosity between them.
At this moment, Lin Yi Chen coldly chuckled and explained, “I don’t have a personal grudge with him, but he and Lin Haowei have a deep-seated hatred.”
“What?” Jiang Wan Yu was shocked.
“Actually, over a decade ago, Yi Lingfeng and I had a good relationship. My mother, Luo Wanwan, was best friends with his mother,” Lin Yi Chen said with a sigh.
“Since that’s the case, why would there be a grudge?” Jiang Wan Yu was puzzled.
Lin Yi Chen’s voice turned grim as he continued, “Because of Lin Haowei.”
“He not only seduced Lin Zi Xuan’s girlfriend, but that was just one of the evil deeds he committed. Back then, my mother couldn’t bear Lin Haowei’s tyranny and obsessive control, so she begged Yi Lingfeng’s mother for help to escape from the Lin family.”
“My mother managed to escape Lin Haowei’s clutches. But unfortunately, Yi Lingfeng’s mother’s involvement angered Lin Haowei.”
“In his quest to find out my mother’s whereabouts, he violated Yi Lingfeng’s mother and together with Zhou Jiancheng which caused a car accident that led to the death of Yi Lingfeng’s parents and the takeover of the Yi family’s business.”
“If it weren’t for Yi Lingfeng’s father discovering Zhou Jiancheng’s ambitious plans early on and leaving a will that preserved the most crucial asset, Huacheng Real Estate, the Yi family would have ceased to exist long ago. Yi Lingfeng’s deliberate approach to you is most likely to seek revenge on me and make Lin Haowei suffer.”
Lin Yi Chen concluded with a heavy tone, “But he doesn’t even know that Lin Haowei couldn’t care less about my life or death.”
Hearing this, Jiang Wan Yu’s face turned pale.
Finally, she understood why Yi Lingfeng had such severe psychological trauma regarding intimacy and had been unable to perform.
It was because he had witnessed his mother being destroyed by a scumbag when he was too young to do anything about it.
But he had been powerless at that time.
Seeing Jiang Wan Yu’s pale complexion, Lin Yi Chen gently patted her back and reassured her, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you.”
He had gone to great lengths to navigate the Lin and Xu families, even hurting the woman he loved, all for the sake of becoming strong enough to protect her.
He would never allow his beloved woman to suffer the same fate as Lin Zi Xuan’s girlfriend or Yi Lingfeng’s mother.
Jiang Wan Yu softly murmured her agreement, her heart now firmly convinced that Lin Haowei was a truly wicked man.
This demon of a man had harmed so many people, even his own son, and he deserved to lose the woman he loved.
Such a person deserved to live a lonely life!
