Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 207

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 207

The floor was covered in marble tiles, yet Lin Xinyan felt as though she was walking through cotton, making her feel insecure. She didn’t know what was in store for her.

The more she anticipated it, the more anxious she got.

She didn’t know if good news or bad news were waiting for me.

Their footsteps seemed to echo through the large courtyard.

Every echo sent ripples through her heart.

The door was red in color with intricate carvings on it, and there was a woman standing in front of a table with her back facing the door. She put her palms together, as though she was praying.

When they got to the door, Cheng Yuwen patted Lin Xinyan’s shoulder to tell her to stop moving. Lin Xinyan understood what he meant and nodded.

Cheng Yuwen lifted his foot over the doorstep and walked into the house.

“You still dare to come and see me?” The woman yelled, clearly angered.

Lin Xinyan shivered. That was definitely Yuxiu’s voice.

Her hands balled into fists by her sides.

Who in the world was she?

A million questions circled around in her mind, yet no one could answer them.

Cheng Yuwen stood behind her and looked at the table in silence. The memorials of the Cheng family ancestors were lined up neatly on it.

“I don’t want our family art and traditions to die just like that…”

“You’re stupid!” Cheng Yuxiu yelled, turning around. “We made a promise…”

She noticed Lin Xinyan standing at the door and cut herself off.

Her voice began to shake as she spoke again. “W-why are you here?”

She looked at Cheng Yuwen again. “You’re saying that she’s your student?”

Her face paled bit by bit and her breath quickened, making her whole body trembled, as though she was going to collapse any moment.

“That’s right,” Cheng Yuwen said, oblivious to her anger. “You can’t tell your secret to your son or your daughter-in-law, yet you gave Lin Xinyan our family heirloom. Doesn’t that mean she has the right to learn the art of tea silk weaving? I’m sure you don’t want that skill to vanish from the face of the earth?”

Lin Xinyan raised her hand and looked at the jade bangle on her hand. Didn’t it belong to the Zongs?

Didn’t Cheng Yuxiu say that she received the bangle from her mother-in-law?

Since when did it belong to the Cheng‘s’?

Cheng Yuxiu’s beautiful features were tainted with anger. “Don’t you know that you’re going to ruin her life if you do this?”

“I know, but I can’t just sit by and watch the Cheng‘s’ disappear from the world without a trace.”

Cheng Yuwen held on fast to his beliefs. Stepping forward, he put his hands on his sister’s shoulders. “I’m old, and I don’t have much time left. I don’t wish for anything, but I don’t want to see the downfall of the Cheng‘s’.”

Cheng Yuxiu clenched her fists. “Even so, you shouldn’t have kept me in the dark while you do whatever you want!”

Cheng Yuwen turned around. “If I told you first, you wouldn’t have agreed. Since when did you ever care about the Cheng family? The only people you care about are your husband and your son.”

He got angrier as he spoke. “You don’t care about the Cheng‘s’ anymore! Your world only revolves around the Zong’s now!” He began to shout at her.

Cheng Yuxiu closed her eyes and forced herself to stay calm.

When Cheng Yuwen called her to tell her about his new student, she was furious. However, little did she expect the student to be Lin Xinyan.
