Stealing Your Heart Chapter 36
Lin Guoan was reluctant to do it, yet he still took out some of it, considering the relationship between Lin Xinyan and Zong Jinghao.
Among Zhuang Zijin’s dowries, cash alone was worth as much as two million. The total value would be around five million if the valuable jewelry was considered.
Lin Guoan gave her a check and some jewelry, yet some of the jewelry were missing, including the bracelet that she once saw Shen Xiuqing wearing. Lin Guoan seemed to have figured out her doubts and explained, “It’s been a long time, and so some were broken and others went missing. This is all I have.”
Lin Xinyan knew full well but didn’t call him out, as she felt that getting these back was better than nothing. Furthermore, she could slowly take the rest of her belongings back. She kept the check, picked up the box and put it into the trunk.
She then went back to the house with Lin Guoan.
But it didn’t seem right.
Lin Xinyan saw pieces of a broken glass on the floor and water spilled on Lin Yuhan’s disheveled dress. She was weeping and her eyes were puffy and red. She sprang upon Lin Guoan as soon as she saw her and said, “Dad!”
It appeared that she felt deeply wronged.
Lin Xinyan glanced at her, then came up to Zong Jinghao and realized that there was something unusual on his face.
Did he drink?
But his glass in front of him was still full.
Lin Xinyan came up to him and asked lightly, “What’s wrong?”
Zong Jinghao struggled to open his eyes as his vision was blurred, as if trying to restrain himself from doing something.
He snorted coldly, “Help me up.”
Lin Xinyan put his arm around her shoulder, grabbed him by his waist and said, “We are going home.”
“You can’t leave!” As soon as Lin Xinyan helped Zong Jinghao up, Shen Xiuqing stood up quickly and said, “Don’t you have to be responsible for what you did to Han?”
“What happened?” Lin Guoan also realized that something’s wrong.
“Dad…” Lin Yuhan cried harder and said, “Just now…. just now…”
“What happened just now?” Lin Guoan looked at her daughter’s disheveled dress. He then stared at Zong Jinghao frowningly and said, “Young master Zong, what have you done to my daughter?”
Although he seemed to be questioning him, he really wished that he did something to Lin Yuhan.
He would not be threatened by Lin Xinyan anymore.
Looking at the broken glass on the floor, she was totally disappointed and shocked. Shen Xiuqing could really stop at nothing to achieve her goal, including using such a dirty trick!
She looked at Lin Yuhan and said, “Do you want to say that my husband molested you and wanted to do something indecent to you?”
She sneered, “My husband will not be interested in a contemptible woman like you.”
“Han, your sister was hurt. How could you speak for an outsider?” Lin Guoan said coldly.
Lin Xinyan said in disdain, “Sister? My mom has only one daughter, and it’s me. Why do I have a sister? Besides, I’m definitely close to my own husband. “
Zong Jinghao looked at one side of her face. He began to have an illusion after she called him husband for so many times.”
He felt that he was truly her husband.
Lin Xinyan carried Zong Jinghao to leave once she finished speaking. When they passed by Lin Guoan, Zong Jinghao suddenly stopped. He looked at them sternly and said, “I’ve experienced how the Lins treated their guest. I will pay you back for this!”
Feeling shocked, Lin Guoan turned around, looked at Shen Xiuqing and said, “What happened?”
She was panicked too as things went south. But since it had already happened, she sat down on a chair and said while crying, “It was my fault. I couldn’t even protect my own daughter.”
Lin Yuhan cried as well as she was frightened.
Shen Xiuqing had put drugs into the glasses of water and wine as well as plates that Zong Jinghao used. He didn’t taste anything apart from the glass of water while he was waiting for Lin Xinyan.
