My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy-Chapter 423 - He Cornered Me in the Garage

Chapter 423: Chapter 423 He Cornered Me in the Garage

A mere birthday, and they’re giving away a billion, even the largest family fortune can’t withstand such reckless squandering.

I glanced at Jiang Jiaying in the distance.

At this moment, she was surrounded at the center like a star held up by the moon, becoming ever more arrogant and willful as she spoke at length to the reporters about her feelings.

“You know? I’ve always had this feeling since I was young, I just felt I had the potential to be a wealthy heiress, and looking at it now, it turns out to be true…”

I sighed and then turned to Lin Nansheng,

“Do you really trust her that much? Have you ever considered that one day she might deceive you?”

This world is full of human malice.

After a moment of thought, Lin Nansheng asked me,

“Xiaoyun, are you worried that I won’t care about you in the future? You can rest assured, although you are only my goddaughter, I still appreciate you a lot. If you face any difficulties in the future, I will help you. Don’t feel any psychological burden, I won’t treat you differently.”

Lin Nansheng’s words moved me deeply, and after much deliberation, I decided to express the doubt in my heart.

“The woman you loved, was her name Song Xianjing?”

Lin Nansheng did not deny it,

“Yes! Ah, after so many years, I don’t know how she’s been doing.”

“If you have the time, I can take you to see her!”

“Really? I’m available anytime.”

Lin Nansheng seemed very interested, with an extremely excited expression on his face.

It felt as though he had waited a long time for this day.

I hadn’t thought of how to respond yet.

His cell phone rang again.

“I’ll take this call!”

I nodded.

Lin Nansheng didn’t seem to avoid me and directly answered the call in front of me.

During the wait, I also heard the male voice coming from the phone.

It was Gu Yuanzhou!

Though I couldn’t see him, the voice coming from there was exactly the same.

I was utterly shocked!

Could there really be someone in the world with such a similar voice?

I patiently waited for Lin Nansheng to finish the call, and then curiously asked him again,

“Uncle Lin, that man’s voice sounds so familiar, doesn’t it?”

Lin Nansheng was slightly startled and then said after thinking,

“Perhaps you’ve met before! He came to A City not long ago to help me with some matters.”

His explanation immediately piqued my interest,

“What’s this relative of yours called?”

“Oh, his name is Louis!”

“Louis?”

“Yes! Is there an issue?”

“Um, why an English name, I heard him speaking Chinese…”

“He often handles some international business, dealing with foreign friends, having an English name makes things easier.”

Though the name didn’t match Gu Yuanzhou’s.

But that glimmer of hope still didn’t extinguish in my heart.

I still wouldn’t give up until I reached the Yellow River, especially since I heard in his phone conversation about having that man come for a business meeting on Wednesday…

So I proposed,

“How about next Wednesday? Next Wednesday, I’ll take you to see where Song Xianjing lives.”

“Today is Friday… just five more days! Okay then!”

Lin Nansheng’s face brightened like a young man in love, a little excited, and when he heard there were still five days to wait, even a bit disappointed.

At this moment, Jiang Jiaying seemed impatient with how long I had been talking with Lin Nansheng, and she hurried over to interrupt our conversation.

“Dad, what are you talking to her about?”

She clung to Lin Nansheng’s arm, acting coquettishly.

By then, she had clearly become like the daughter of a wealthy family.

“Jiaying, although Xiaoyun is younger than you, she’s also my goddaughter. I hope you two can support each other as sisters from now on,” he said.

Lin Nansheng took my hand and, with his other hand took Jiang Jiaying’s, placing our hands together.

From Lin Nansheng’s eyes, I could tell that he genuinely cared about me.

Even as a goddaughter, he still valued me greatly.

He hadn’t distanced himself from me despite having found his so-called biological daughter.

This was a very rare kind of affection.

Jiang Jiaying, however, seemed extremely reluctant. She pulled her hand back, gave me a sidelong glance, and then said,

“Dad, I understand.”

But Lin Nansheng insisted solemnly.

“Jiaying, you’re a few years older than Xiaoyun, and you’re the older sister. Promise me now, in front of me, that you won’t bully your younger sister in the future, okay?”

Jiang Jiaying stamped her feet in anger and complained,

“Dad, as you saw earlier, she kept exposing my flaws in front of others and even played so much defamatory information about me on that giant electronic screen. I was almost destroyed by her. Such a sister is a viper at heart; it’s not my fault, it’s hers. It’s clear she is the one bullying me, so how can it be said that I am bullying her?”

Lin Nansheng spoke with earnest gravity,

“I know there has been conflict between you, which is why I hope you can reconcile. Past disputes and misunderstandings were due to not knowing that the other person is one of your closest kin. Now that you know, it’s time to throw away those prejudices and start anew!”

Although Jiang Jiaying was very unwilling, she still promptly agreed in order to please Lin Nansheng.

“Alright, I’ll definitely listen to what dad says… Little sister, good little sister, I’ll take good care of you from now on, and I hope you’ll also be obedient, otherwise, I, as your older sister, will have to teach you a lesson.”

Jiang Jiaying’s words were clearly against her will, and the smile on her face was equally insincere.

Silently, I withdrew my hand and said goodbye to Lin Nansheng,

“See you next week.”

As I turned to leave, I heard Jiang Jiaying asking Lin Nansheng,

“Dad, where are you taking her next week?”

“To meet a friend!”

“Can I come along?”

“No.”

“Dad, you’re playing favorites. You like my little sister more! Taking her out and not bringing me! Do you have some new business venture you’re giving to her?”

“Of course not. You can rest easy. I’m just going with her to see an old friend,” he answered.

By the time I heard this, I had already walked away, sneering to myself at Jiang Jiaying’s intense possessiveness.

In the underground parking lot, I was just about to hail a car when a figure approached me slowly from the garage. Only when he got close did I realize that it was Ding Yinuo.

Seeing him then, his expression was extremely dark.

Even from a distance, I could sense an air of danger.

Actually, at the dinner table, Ding Yinuo had seemed silent, but I caught a glance of him, and he must have been very angry.

I even guessed that it was fortunate Lin Nansheng had announced today that Jiang Jiaying was his own biological daughter, or this man might have flipped the table right there and then.

Now, his chilling presence instilled a faint fear in my heart…

“Ding Yinuo, what do you want to do?”

The vast parking garage seemed especially dim, leaving just the two of us.

His approach frightened me, and I started to back away until I reached a dark corner, my back against the wall, shivering.
