“Sorry, I didn’t mean to do that,” Lin Xiaomi explained in a low voice.
Xue Haolin noticed the blood in her hand and didn’t meant to do that, either.
However, it didn’t matter.
He carefully took the photo out of the broken frame, properly put in his drawer, and looked up at her.
“Who let you in?” As he asked, he remembered the message his secretary sent him.
He originally thought that Lin Xin’er came here, so he finished the meeting in a hurry but didn’t expect that it was her.
She noticed his behavior just now and never expected that he cared about Lin Xin’er so much even if it was only a photo.
Then, she didn’t know how to speak out the words in her throat.
Thus, she just raised her head to look at him attentively. It happened so fast yesterday, so she didn’t take a good look at him.
After all those years, it was the first time that she had seen his real face.
Meeting her eyes, Xue Haolin subconsciously frowned and said disgustingly, “Lin Xiaomi? Did you claim you were my childhood playmate? Ho, why did I not know I had a playmate like you?”
She looked at him unbelievably and asked in a trembling voice, “Have you forgotten me? Don’t you remember you said you would come back to me?”
He looked at her determinedly as if looking into the innermost part of her heart.
When she felt nervous, he suddenly gave her a smile that was harder on her than Jiang Hui’s slap.
“Miss Lin, you’re so ridiculous.” He smiled in a low voice, but this smile was so hypocritical. “Now, I know your mother was right about you. You love snatching things from Xin’er. Do you want to be my wife? Ha, are you qualified?”
Her face immediately turned ashen. “What do you mean? Why do I not understand you? What have I snatched from Lin Xin’er?”
In his eyes, her pale face was nothing but skillfully acting.
He didn’t want to talk to her anymore. “For the sake of Xin’er, I’ll pass the previous matters by. Xin’er is kind, but I’m not. If I find you bully her again or you try to hurt her, I’ll make you unable to live in this country.”
She looked at him with her eyes wide open and got a blank mind while seeing his warning expression.
She hurriedly took a small goldfish out of her bag.
“Haven’t you forgotten about it? I once gave one to you, and you said it was pretty.”
His face turned livid upon seeing the goldfish, directly went up to her, and grabbed it from her before throwing it onto the ground.
“You don’t deserve to have it. If you show it to me again, I’ll be impolite to you.”
He didn’t expect her to be so shameless. How dare Lin Xiaomi take out a small goldfish to pretend to be Lin Xin’er.
Luckily, Lin Xin’er had said that Lin Xiaomi liked snatching things from her and thereby might pretend to be his playmate when knowing that he was a great man.
Lin Xin’er was worried that he would be taken away by Lin Xiaomi, so she described what happened between them to prove that she was his playmate.
Hearing this at that time, he considered Lin Xin’er over-worried, for there were no such shameless people in the world.
However, unexpectedly, Lin Xiaomi showed up in front of him today with a small goldfish.
She looked pure, but deep down, she was so scheming.
If her mother even disliked her and loved the stepdaughter, how could she be naive?
Having lost his patience, he pressed the inside line and called the secretary inside.
He then said while pointing to Lin Xiaomi, “Get her out of here. From now on, she is forbidden to enter the company.”
Secretary Wang had worked for Xue Haolin for many years. It was the first time that he had treated a woman in this way, but Secretary Wang didn’t dare say anything.
After a nod, Secretary Wang walked up to Lin Xiaomi and said, “Miss Lin, please leave.”
Lin Xiaomi dazedly stared at the goldfish on the ground and felt that her sincerity for all those years was abandoned.
Lin Xiaomi felt so painful that she almost couldn’t breathe as if her heart was tightly grasped by someone.
Lin Xiaomi couldn’t control her thoughts and still wanted to say something. As she walked forward, she was stopped by Secretary Wang.
“Miss Lin, if you don’t leave now, I’ll call the bodyguards.”
She got her eyes reddened, but Xue Haolin already opened a document before him and started to work without glancing at her.
She didn’t know how she got out of the office and only heard Secretary Wang exclaim when she reached the elevator,
“Your hand…”
Her palm was covered with blood, but she clenched it, so it wasn’t apparent.
When she subconsciously stretched her hand, blood surged out and dripped onto the ground as she walked.
It looked very horrifying!
“It’s all right.” Lin Xiaomi smiled while seeing the shocked secretary and said, “I’m sorry for making the ground dirty.”
Secretary Wang couldn’t bear to see it and hurriedly took out a tissue before pressing it into her hand, but the tissue was instantly painted red.
Lin Xiaomi used to be afraid of pain and screamed with pain when she was put on a drip. However, now, she didn’t feel the pain even if she was bleeding.
“Thank you.” She expressed her gratitude and turned around before stepping inside the elevator.
Out of the elevator, all the employees passing her looked at her hand in surprise, pointed fingers, and discussed with each other.
Leng Yihuang sat on the hall and felt somewhat upset.
Some women tried to accost him from time to time.
When he coldly glanced at them, they walked away with embarrassment.
He felt agitated at the thought of Lin Xiaomi being upstairs with another man, which clearly showed on his face.
His handsome face expressed three words “Don’t bother me.”
He finally turned relaxed when seeing Lin Xiaomi get out of the elevator depressingly.
He jumped up in high spirits and said gloatingly, “Well, are you really driven out?”
Lin Xiaomi dazedly looked at the man before her and suddenly wanted to cry in his arms.
Leng Yihuang looked at her pale face, and his eyes turned fierce when he caught sight of her bloody hand.
“What happened?”
She said shaking her head, “It’s alright! It looks terrible, but the cuts are shallow and stop bleeding.”
“Xue Haolin made this?”
Seeing her in silence, he said with killing intent while rushing inside, “I’ll make him suffer!”
