Chapter 39
Resentment
Liu Lin didn’t feel sorry for the valuable gold leaf. The only thing she regretted was that it had allowed Ye Ling to escape this calamity.
Liu Lin sighed with regret in her heart and was about to give Du Juan some instructions when Du Juan suddenly remembered something. A look of nervousness and fear appeared on her face. “By the way, someone else came looking for me…”
“Who?” Liu Lin asked.
“I don’t know him. He was a young man who looked quite intimidating. I felt like he saw through all the lies I told him.” Du Juan’s voice was filled with fear and unease.
Liu Lin paused for a moment, a sense of foreboding creeping over her. “What did you say to him? And what did he look like?”
“Of course, I didn’t say anything!” Du Juan quickly denied it. Then she hesitated and said, “But when he left, it seemed like he already knew something… Oh, and he was about two heads taller than me with a shallow mole under his right eye.”
In an instant, Liu Lin’s blood seemed to freeze. Her body felt as if it had fallen into an icy cellar. Her eyes widened, revealing a mix of panic and terror.
Min Nan!
Why would Min Nan go to see Du Juan? Did that b*tch Ye Ling tell him?
Liu Lin felt both scared and furious. After hurriedly giving some money to Du Juan and sending her away, she returned to her dormitory. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
According to Du Juan’s words, Min Nan probably suspected something.
Did he suspect her involvement?
If Ye Ling had sought Min Nan’s help, she might have revealed more to him, such as the fact that Liu Lin was Ye Ling’s roommate.
Would Min Nan make any connections? Although she hadn’t left any evidence of her involvement in Wu De’s case, she was indeed a suspect.
Liu Lin felt anxious and restless. At this moment, she despised Ye Ling with every fiber of her being.
If it weren’t for Ye Ling, she would have been able to control Min Nan completely in this lifetime and make him fall head over heels in love with her!
But now, that b*tch Ye Ling shamelessly approached Min Nan. Did she become paralyzed whenever she saw a man? How despicable!
Wu De was also a useless piece of garbage. He couldn’t even handle a woman. He deserved to rot in jail!
Liu Lin cursed angrily, then began to contemplate her next move.
She had been avoiding Min Nan, afraid that he would suspect her. But now, it seemed that she couldn’t continue like this.
She had to take the initiative and find Min Nan. She couldn’t let Min Nan gradually fall in love with Ye Ling.
Liu Lin’s gaze fell upon a bamboo box placed beside her bed.
Inside the box were the things she had prepared after her rebirth. Her original plan was not to use them unless everything went smoothly.
But now, Ye Ling hadn’t been assaulted by Wu De, and Du Juan hadn’t succeeded in sending her to the police station.
What was worse was that Min Nan not only didn’t fall in love with her, but he even started to suspect her.
The situation was even worse than in her previous life!
This was the only way…Liu Lin hurriedly opened the bamboo box. Under the dim light, a white dress and a porcelain bottle lay quietly in the box.
The white gauze dress was embellished with tiny sequins, making the entire dress look divine and holy.
Liu Lin looked at the white dress with a tinge of disgust and anger in her eyes. She wished she could tear it to shreds, but after a few seconds, she forcibly suppressed her inner emotions and took out the white dress.
The next day, when Liu Lin’s two roommates woke up, they looked at her in astonishment. One of them leaned on the edge of the bed and playfully remarked, “Liu Lin, why are you so beautifully dressed today? Have you set your sights on some intellectual youth?”
“This white dress is gorgeous. Those filthy men have probably never seen such a beautiful white dress in their lives. You’ll drive them crazy, won’t you?”
Liu Lin was fixing her hair in front of the mirror when she heard her roommates’ comments. She shyly replied, “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Liu Lin asked her two roommates to apply for leave for her. Then, she looked at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath. A ruthless look flashed across her eyes.
As she stepped outside, the sky was overcast. It was a cloudy day.
Liu Lin carefully contemplated the details of her plan as she made her way. She made sure nothing was overlooked.
Upon reaching Sun Li’s house in Willow Village, Liu Lin took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
With the memories from her previous life, Liu Lin was well aware of Min Nan’s daily routines. Since it was morning, if he had no important matters to attend to, he should be at home.
Wan Hai and Wan Feng were about to head out to the production team. Upon hearing the knock on the door, Wan Hai couldn’t help but mumble to himself, “Our house has been quite lively these past few days. I bet this person has come to look for Min Nan again.”
