Chapter 337 - She only cares about one person's compliments

Wan Jia gave the pill to him with her eyes screaming of curiosity.

"What's with that look?"

She asked hesitantly. "You're going to kill them?"

Lu Aotian met her gaze with his. "In your eyes, am I a person that kills without reason?"

Wan Jia: "You're right. You don't kill. You make people beg to die. Honey, let them off this once, okay? If they seek any more trouble, I will not have anything to say."

Lu Aotian didn't know why his wife was trying to defend them but he agreed. "Okay."

Wan Jia was finally relaxed.

Lu Aotian was currently thinking about how weird it was for his enemies to be offering help to his wife. Could it be that they wanted something in return?

When he went back to his office, he got into his investigation mode.

"Bro, what are you doing?" the curious Lu Shaoting was at it as usual.

"Investigating Qian Li." He answered expressionlessly.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Find out everything about his ancestors. The more detailed the better."

Hours later.

"That was strange. I found no connection between them and sister-in-law. Not even a tiny one with the He family." Lu Shaoting said.

"There's none with the Lin family." Lu Aotian sighed.

"Perhaps they are related to Xia Rou?" Lu Shaoting thought aloud.

"They are not." That was Lu Aotian's first hypothesis since Xia Rou was the only person around Wan Jia whose life was mysterious.

"Forget it. I'll keep a close watch on them." Lu Aotian said.

"Bro, what do we do with the Yun family? Are we going to wait for them to make a move?"

"We are going to make them impatient. They are waiting for us to start fighting, right? Our next move is to fill the media with good news from the family. Let them pull out their trump card while we still have all our cards."

Lu Shaoting nodded. As expected, his brother always came up with the most effective plans.

He looked at him and wanted to ask something, in the end, he changed his mind and left Lu Aotian's office. Unfortunately, Lu Aotian wasn't looking at him and didn't see the questioning look in his younger brother's eyes.

…

Talking of good news and happy occasions, one of them had arrived. In the blink of an eye, it was already the day of the Golden Star Awards. The awards ceremony would be in the evening.

In the capital, the most talented stylists were so busy that they didn't have time for a breather. Habitually, Wan Jia was going to style her sister. Lin Lihua already had a personal makeup artist and didn't need to use Qing Tai Media's team.

As Wan Jia left her office for Lin Lihua's apartment, Su Ling was curious. "Boss, are you going to style Lin Lihua?"

"Mmh."

"As an actress from Qing Tai Media, she's not going to wear an outfit from her company's designers, but from EFW instead?"

Wan Jia found Su Ling's statement laughable. She sounded as though she was jealous about Lin Lihua being so casual with EFW.

"Lin Lihua is my sister and she likes my designs. Why would she go for others?" Wan Jia laughed.

Su Ling was stunned. "Your sister? Boss you…you're from the Lin family?"

They were on the corridor. Wan Jia peered beside her from the corner of her eye and smiled in satisfaction. Her expression turned warmer as she said to Su Ling, "Her mother is mine too."

Su Lin who was clueless was even more excited than Wan Jia. "Oh my world! You must be so happy, right? Does that mean the CEO of Lin Industries is your father?"

Wan Jia gestured a hush. "Keep it down."

"Oh."

She turned absent mindedly and when she saw a petite assistant make a phone call, she took out her own phone and sent a one word message to Lu Aotian. [Done.]

Lu Aotian's next step of his plan was to find an opportunity to spike rumors about Wan Jia's real family. The ultimate result he wanted was to make the news distract the Yuns. It would give him time to catch them guard less. He had already discussed this with the Lins and they were all alright with it.

When Wan Jia noticed that the petite assistant had been spying on her for three days in a row, she found a chance to spill the news.

A reply came quickly. [Good girl.]

She blushed when Lu Aotian called her a good girl. It wasn't hard to picture his face while tying such words.

…

At the Lin residence, Lin Lihua looked beautiful in her red new gown. It had a slightly deep V that showed off her full chest and was backless. Wan Jia had carefully chosen her shoes and jewelry. With her thick hair falling to her back in waves, she looked absolutely stunning.

Su Ling who was at the side was awed. "You're really going to wow the masses. You look like a queen. All that's missing is a crown."

Wan Jia giggled. "Wrong. All that's missing is a king." And he won't be missing for too long.

Su Ling caught her meaning and laughed. "Actually, she doesn't care about our praises. She only has ears for one person's praises."

Lin Lihua glared at them. Teasing, teasing. They only knew to tease her. But when she thought of how a certain someone would react seeing her like this, she blushed like a little girl.
