I Pretended to be Devoted and Weak, but My Husband Can Read Minds

Chapter 36: Exposed

Lin Xin sat in the cafe with an ugly expression, a cup of cold coffee in front of her.

Her assistant, Gu Lan, carefully stepped forward. “CEO Lin, it’s too late. Don’t drink the coffee.”

Lin Xin looked up and saw that it was Gu Lan. She felt wronged and her eyes turned red. She gestured for Gu Lan to sit down and said in a low voice, “Do you think I’m still in his heart?”

Gu Lan naturally knew who Lin Xin was referring to. She smiled and leaned forward slightly. “Of course!”

Lin Xin looked at Gu Lan with teary eyes.

Gu Lan comforted him. “President Huo and you are childhood sweethearts. Think about it. Who else could stand by his side other than you?”

Lin Xin did not speak, but her expression softened significantly.

Gu Lan continued, “Is there anyone who knows better than you what kind of person President Huo is? You know all his taboos, right? I don’t think anyone in this world knows President Huo as well as you, right?”

“There is,” Lin Xin said softly.

Gu Lan was stunned. “Who?”

“Huo Quan, Elder Brother Huo.” Lin Xin’s tone was waning.

Gu Lan heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Xin reproachfully.

Lin Xin sighed. “Huo Quan treats Huo Ce like a brother and a father, but why did he choose an idiot like Ning Wan for him in the end? I can’t figure it out.”

Gu Lan frowned. Lin Xin had been asking this question for two years.

“What exactly does he like about her? She’s useless. He said that that woman loves Huo Ce. I believe that. She said that she doesn’t like money and has no motives. Hmph! I don’t believe it!” Lin Xin said hatefully.

“President Lin, I don’t think any of this is important. What’s important is that Ning Wan now has the status of Young Madam Huo. Regardless of whether President Huo loves her or not, she’s standing in a position that she shouldn’t be in. You don’t have to worry about exposing her or researching why she appeared in that position. What’s the point? The most important thing is to pull her down from that position,” Gu Lan said earnestly.

Lin Xin sighed. “Gu Lan, fortunately, you’re here to remind me from time to time so that I won’t lose my composure. I’m always trapped by my inner demons and always want to figure this out. Sigh, you’re right. It’s meaningless. I have to let Ning Wan leave the Huo family. This woman is really lucky. She came back unscathed even after encountering the kidnappers today!”

“Unscathed?” Gu Lanluo raised his voice.

Lin Xin nodded blankly. “Yes, basically not injured.”

Gu Lan looked at Lin Xin with a meaningful smile. “She was kidnapped in a bathing suit and came back unscathed?”

Lin Xin’s heart trembled. “You mean…”

Gu Lan smiled. “I don’t mean anything. CEO Lin, there are some truths that need encouragement. Even the person involved might not be able to tell the truth!”

Lin Xin’s eyes lit up. “That’s right, Gu Lan. You’re really too smart!”

Gu Lan smiled. “Boss, you’re the smart one. I didn’t say anything!”

The next day, the headlines on the entertainment section were very eye-catching.

[Young Madam Huo was rescued from the kidnappers in a bathing suit. Her entire body was covered in injuries, making Young Master Huo furious.]

Gu Lan held the tablet and smiled.

How stupid. She did not expect to deal with two women at the same time with just a few words.

If Huo Ce investigated carefully, he would definitely find out that this was a trending topic that Lin Xin had bought. Lin Xin’s goal was to ruin Ning Wan’s reputation. However, she had forgotten that Ning Wan was his face no matter if Huo Ce liked Ning Wan or not. He may not like her, but he could not be publicly slandered. Lin Xin had violated Huo Ce’s big plan and would definitely be eliminated by Huo Ce.

As for Ning Wan, no matter if she was chaste or unclean, after this trending topic, she would not be able to clarify her innocence even if she was covered in mouths.

It was too easy to deal with these two women.

It seemed that her transmigration trip was going abnormally smoothly!

Gu Lan’s goal was quite simple. She wanted to become the male lead’s stepmother, have the most handsome and richest husband, and have the most handsome and richest son in the future!

This was the character she had chosen in the book she had transmigrated from. A character who would enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of her life was the favorite of many women. How could it be her turn to play such a good role if not for her quick reflexes?

She was a very lucky person. She was born for this book, for Huo Ce and Huo Yuan. This world would become hers!
