In the past few days, Lin Group could feel the pressure placed by Chen Group. If Lin Zhenyang doesn’t come to apologize and pick up Chen Hanyin within a week, then they can agree to a divorce. Of course, the consequences of the divorce would be unbearable for Lin Group.
Madame Lin looked at the document in her hand but doesn’t pay much heed to it. It’s been a week since she talked to Fang Yu. She had been patiently waiting for Fang Yu to approach her to give her an answer. However, Fang Yu has not made a move. This made Madame Lin wonder if she misjudged her and Fang Yu doesn’t love her son as much as she thought. But the happiness and satisfaction in her eyes tell her that she deeply loves Lin Zhenyang.
Irritated, she threw the report on the table and closed her eyes as she rubbed her temples. Because of this matter, she hadn’t slept for several nights. She thought, if Fang Yu doesn’t give her an answer by tomorrow, then she can only force her to leave with a tough approach. This is now the result that she wants but she will do it.
It isn’t easy for a woman to handle a big company. Maybe it is because she has been really tired lately, Madame Lin’s eyelids feel heavy and slowly doze off. After who knows how long, a piercing sound from the telephone woke her up, jolting her back to reality. Madame Lin pressed the red button and the secretary’s sweet voice sounded, “Ma’am, there is a Miss Fang here saying that she has something important to speak to you about. Do you want me to connect her call?”
Miss Fang? Is it her?
“Connect it.” Madame Lin revealed a small smile.
The phone rang again. This time, she didn’t press on the speaker and just directly answered it. She didn’t say anything as she waited for the other party to speak first.
The person on the other phone seemed to be having an internal struggle with herself, “I’m Fang Yu. I am waiting for you at the same tea room as last time.” Without waiting for her to answer, Fang Yu hung up the call.
Madame Lin looked at the phone and laughed. She knew that she had won.
They were in the same tea room as last time. Even the same private with the same two people. Even the tea was the same as last time. It is Da Hong Pao.
This time it is Fang Yu who arrived first. She quietly sat there waiting for her to arrive as well as for her love to end.
Madame Lin didn’t make her wait too long. She sat down across from her. There was a smile on her face. Although it is now obvious, it is still there.
Fang Yan lightly glanced at her and then silently closed her eyes. All the memories of her and Lin Zhenyang, both the good and bad appeared before her eyes. They have already laid out a beautiful future ahead of them but now it seems like there is no chance for it to happen.
Madame Lin quietly stared at her and didn’t say anything. She only sat there and appreciate the fragrant tea in front of her without any worries.
A half hour past. When she opened her eyes, Fang Yu met the pair of eyes in front of her. She gazed into them for a few seconds before she turned away and lightly said, “I….I will cleanly break up with Zhenyang.” These words were like a dagger twisted into her heart. She tried hard not to cry. This is what she chose. All the pain and bitterness, she has to bear with it.
“Thank you.” Madame Lin looked at her gratefully. That is the truth. Before she came, she had a hunch that Fang Yu would say this. But when she heard it, a stone dropped from her chest. She knew that it was cruel to use this type of pressure to force this kind girl to break up with her love but she had no choice.
“No, don’t thank me yet. I have a condition.” Fang Yu said.
Madame Lin’s brows knitted together, “What condition?”
“I want one million dollars. After I receive the money, I will immediately turn around and leave. I will not appear in front of you and I will make sure that he won’t find me.” Fang Yu bluntly said as if what she is talking about has nothing to do with her.
The smile on Madame Lin’s face didn’t change but her tone was a thousand times colder, “Do you know how much one million is? Do you think you are worth that much?” In the end, she is still an ordinary woman. If she wants money she is ready to give it to her. However, her confidence is too big. Who does she think she is to get one million dollars.
Fang Yu faintly smiled, It is full of bitterness and self-mockery, “I don’t know how much one million is but if I can, I would rather not want this money. This price is cheap to her if it requires her to exchange it for her love.
“How can I believe that you will actually leave Zhenyang when I give you the money?” After all, she is also a businesswoman so she needs to consider these options.
“I will write a contract to explain everything that happened today. If I do anything that opposes it, you can just take this out and show it Zhenyang. At that time, he wouldn’t want me anymore.”
Madame Lin seriously looked at her and then took out a pen and paper for her to write. Madame Lin also took out a checkbook and write out a check to her in her own name.
After she received the check, Fang Yu didn’t say much. She immediately got up and left the tea room while Madame Lin stared at her. Not long after, she also left.
Fang Yan really didn’t go back on her promise. On that same day, she left Lin Zhenyang. As for where she went, no one knows. In the next few days, Lin Zhenyang crazily ran around Shanghai looking for her, but couldn’t find anything about her. In the end, he wounded up in a bar and drank all day. This all seemed to be Madame Lin’s plan and it went smoothly. On the fifth day, Madame Lin ordered her son to come back and told him everything that happened that day with Fang Yu. Of course, she included some extra fictitious details.
“No, no, Xiao Yu isn’t that type of person.” Lin Zhenyang shook his head, unable to believe what his mother said, “Mom, I know you don’t like her but she isn’t someone who is only with me for my money.”
“Mom, you know where she is, don’t you. Tell me, tell me where she is.” Lin Zhenyang vigorously should his mother wanting her to give him an answer.
“I don’t know where she is.” Madame Lin pushed her son away and handed the contract that Fang Yu wrote that day to him. On it, it said that Fang Yu took one million dollars from Madame Lin, and from then on, she will have no other relation or contact with Lin Zhenyang. At the very end are her signature and date.
Lin Zhenyang shook his head. He couldn’t believe all of this is true. The woman in his arm who spoke about their beautiful future together was actually with him for his money. She knew that if he gets a divorce, he would have nothing so instead, she took some large amount of money and left. He doesn’t want to believe it but the handwriting is obviously hers.
“Silly child, now you know what type of person she is. Did you really think she loved you? All she wanted was your money. Once you have nothing, they will leave you without looking back.”
Lin Zhenyang didn’t want to believe what his mother said but the cold hard facts are laid in front of him. He doesn’t know what to believe. He grabbed the receipt and soullessly walked back to his room. He locked himself in there for two days. On the third day, with his mother’s persuasion, he went out and followed her to the Chen residence to bring Chen Hanyin back. After that, Lin Zhenyang never saw Fang Yu again.
A few months later, Madame Lin received a letter with no return address or stamp. Inside is the check that has passed its withdrawal date. There was also an additional sentence written on it: My love is priceless.
