Marrying the Short-Lived, Maniacal Eldest Miss for Good Fortune 91

Chapter 91

Lin Shuxing wanted to restrict Fang Yi’s freedom.

But she soon discovered that there seemed to be nothing to restrict.

Her sudden departure to go on a joyride and adventure with others was like a thorn that had grown sideways. It had come suddenly, and after it was pulled out, only a barren wound was left. When the wind blew, one could hear an empty echo.

The woman’s life was too simple, always a three-point line: work, study, sleep, in a continuous cycle. Her circle was so clean it was outrageous, which in turn made the young lady who often ran out feel a little embarrassed.

He Shuanghua was still in the hospital. Her injuries were more serious than Fang Yi’s. It was said that she had undergone surgery and had been greatly weakened.

However, Lin Shuxing did not believe a single word about He Shuanghua’s news. After all, she had investigated her and knew that this hospital had already been transferred to He Shuanghua’s name.

Not to mention that she had a natural hostility towards her.

To put it in an exaggerated way, this great lawyer was almost her imaginary enemy throughout her adolescence.

Long ago, when she was still naive and hadn’t yet clarified her feelings for Fang Yi, the first emotion she felt was irritation and anger.

The woman in the little bear apron was indifferent to everything, and that little bit of intimacy with her friend was particularly glaring.

He Shuanghua was very beautiful. Although she also dressed simply, she would wear a light-colored windbreaker over her white shirt, with a just-right silver necklace on her chest, clean and gentle.

Her work seemed to be very busy, and the pressure was great. When she went to find Fang Yi, she would cry most of the time, and would bring two cups of cheap milk tea or small desserts, just like many young couples would do when they were shopping.

Her out-of-control emotions were not a big fuss, just silent tears. Her thin shoulders seemed to be bearing all the grievances of the world, and then in a long outpouring, half of this sadness would be unloaded.

When passersby would peek with curious eyes, Fang Yi would nonchalantly block the crying woman. Although she was not old at that time, she seemed to have long been accustomed to the role of a protector.

The young Lin Shuxing was very angry, but she didn’t know what she was angry about. It was as if her beloved toy had been snatched by someone else, and the warmth that the woman occasionally showed was not unique.

This realization made Lin Shuxing feel disgusted.

But when she appeared, biting her lip, Fang Yi would smile at her from a distance.

So annoying. How can someone be so annoying?

So one day, when she had bumped into Fang Yi hugging that woman, the little girl had turned her head and had left, and had never gone to that mall again.

Even after many years, when she had learned that He Shuanghua’s lover was Li Sinian, this indescribable hostility had not completely disappeared.

Fang Yi had accompanied He Shuanghua on an adventure, had gotten into a car accident, and had been injured. Her first reaction had been to hide it from her. The sense of powerlessness and anger from her childhood had resurfaced.

Her private property had been violated.

But fortunately, she had already grown up and did not have to sit and wait for death. She could use her hands to grab the woman and hide her.

The Li family had invested heavily in medical research and was almost in a monopoly position. It was not strange that Li Sinian had managed to achieve the miracle of dual-female reproduction this time.

When the Li family had not yet changed their surname to Li, they had been the largest medical family in the country, and their reputation had been spread far and wide, both at home and abroad.

Li Duqiu had initially just been her husband, Chen’s, apprentice. Her medical talent was not good, but she was a good hand at managing accounts. She had managed the large family so well that Chen had not had to worry about a single thing after their marriage.

Later, when Chen had died, Li Duqiu had naturally taken over the family. What He Shuanghua was doing was somewhat of a tribute to her.

Lin Shuxing hated He Shuanghua, but she had to admit that this woman did have some skills. She had spent several years of effort to set up a trap, and even an old fox like Li Sinian could only fall into it completely.

When Li Duqiu had changed Chen to Li, many people had been waiting to see her make a fool of herself. After all, this path was very deep, and she was no longer young at that time.

Countless people had been waiting for them to die quickly, ready to carve up this huge corpse.

It was a pity that not only did the Li family not die, but they had also leaped up and had climbed to the position of the leader of Z City.

Lin Shuxing’s attending physician had been poached from their hospital. When Wen Qianxue had been critically ill back then, Li Duqiu had also personally come to visit and had given a death order to spare no expense and to do everything possible to save her.

The two families had also started to have in-depth contact at that time.

Many people were curious about how Li Duqiu had managed to get on with the Yanjing Li family. There were many different opinions on this. Even a relative from eight hundred li away could be traced back to a blood connection, which was really strange.

In fact, the answer was very simple. The Li family’s business was extensive, but the most important investment had always been in cutting-edge medical care.

Illness, treatment, life extension, and the next step was… the pursuit of longevity.

Li Duqiu had given Li Sinian a perfect start, but she had not expected that many years later, it would be snatched from her own mouth in the same way.

How could she accept this mockery?

Lin Shuxing had once been very suspicious of He Shuanghua’s reason for calling Fang Yi. After all, He Shuanghua herself had no support. But to bring Fang Yi along was equivalent to pulling Wang Quan and the Lin family into the water.

One was the Li family’s mortal enemy, and the other was the Li family’s ally. Fang Yi was just at the intersection of this puzzle.

Lin Shuxing had not hidden it and had frankly analyzed this suspicion to Fang Yi. The thrilling business war had become light and airy in her mouth, like gossip casually mentioned during a tea party.

The System stopped eating its popcorn, its round eyes wide as it played the professional straight man, sighing in admiration.

A very spectacular performance, but it was a pity that Lin Shuxing could not hear it.

The System was clearly a better listener than Fang Yi. The woman’s reaction had been faint to begin with, and when her brain was thinking about these trivial problems, it was even more boring.

“Without you, He Shuanghua would have been dead for sure,” the young lady had finally concluded, her eyes staring at Fang Yi, and she had viciously bitten a piece of osmanthus cake.

In her youth, what He Shuanghua had unloaded on Fang Yi was grievance. Now it was danger. Only the most stupid person would resolutely take on these things just because of the word “friend.”

She knew they were just friends, but she was still annoyed at Fang Yi’s indifferent and reckless appearance.

After hearing such a clear analysis and hypothesis, Fang Yi did not have much of a reaction, but when she had heard the young lady’s last sentence, she had curled her lips and had let out a very meaningful onomatopoeia from her throat.

“That’s great.”

While the young lady was staring at her, she was also looking at her, and the red that was as moving as a misty wave was reflected in her dark pupils.

That’s great. Her ending has changed.

Then her, their ending should also change.

Lin Shuxing saw the gentleness on Fang Yi’s lips, and a great jealousy arose. She threw away the osmanthus cake and pounced on her to bite her. “You’re great!”

The woman shook her head. “My head is not very good.”

Lin Shuxing watched as this woman, who was wearing a snow-white cardigan and had the air of a carefree immortal, gently raised her eyes, her bright red tongue brushing past her snow-white teeth, and she held a grape in her mouth.

Her eyes glanced over, clear and white.

“…You!” The young lady pushed her away, her ears red with anger, and her anger had inexplicably subsided. “I’m talking to you about serious business!”

“Hiss…” The woman let out a gasp of pain.

“Where does it hurt? The wound hasn’t opened, has it? Let me see.” Lin Shuxing immediately and nervously leaned over with her fluffy head, her red hair scattered on the back of Fang Yi’s hanging hand, a little itchy.

In the gap while she was checking, Fang Yi kissed her on the side of her face, her warm breath puffing in her ear. “My head hurts.”

“Ah? Really? You still have this symptom? Why didn’t you tell the doctor? I’ll have them come up.”

As Lin Shuxing spoke, she was about to make a call, but Fang Yi pressed down on her hand. “No need. It’s not because of the car accident.”

If it’s not because of the car accident, then what could it be?

Under the bright daylight, the two looked at each other for a few seconds.

“Fang Yi!” The young lady’s face was completely red.

“I’m here.”

“I’ll bite you to death!!”

The afternoon sun was just right, and the two of them were rolling on the sofa again.

The doll mountain that had just been piled up was knocked over, and all kinds of polar bears and raccoons scattered and fled. A certain one that had not been able to roll off the sofa was unfortunately flattened by the weight. It was only after a long while that it was rubbed round again by the fuming young lady.

This pair of hands, which had won countless trophies and had signed billion-dollar agreements, was now wrapped in a circle, pressing on the doll’s head to shape it, and flexibly arching it into a circle.

The sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling window, plating the young lady’s red hair with a golden edge. Her exquisite eyelashes blinked, and the faint butterfly that had condensed into a shadow fluttered its wings.

Fang Yi watched as she proudly held the little white bear in her palm, and couldn’t help but show a smile.

Lin Shuxing looked up and also smiled.

She placed this little doll with a square head in front of Fang Yi and said patiently, “This is you.”

With sharp edges and corners, the square-headed white bear’s ears were rubbed round by her, and it had a strange cuteness.

This is me.

Fang Yi murmured, the smile on her lips growing wider.

The next second, the young lady slapped it down and flattened the little white bear.

“…”

“This is the consequence of being disobedient.” Lin Shuxing raised her chin slightly, her expression cold.

Fang Yi gently picked up the little doll, mourned for it for three seconds, and said in remembrance, “She was a good bear.”

The System was so scared by Lin Shuxing’s gaze that it didn’t dare to breathe. It always felt that the young lady was not joking, and that the host was really full of a dull force.

Although the two of them got along exceptionally romantically and harmoniously, a simple analysis of the young lady’s behavior was still a little scary.

This entire floor belonged to Lin Shuxing, and it was densely packed with many surveillance cameras. The security doors that the System had seen alone had three.

In the past, Fang Yi would be annoyed when she was watched at work, but now she was being a double standard. If Lin Shuxing wanted to see, she would show it generously, and had even given her the lock screen password.

Anyway, she had no secrets to hide.

In this large flat, Lin Shuxing had specially prepared a study for Fang Yi. The computer configuration was all top-notch, even a little better than the one she used at the company.

When Lin Shuxing was not at home, Fang Yi would work and study here most of the time.

In the past, when Fang Yi was at work, Lin Shuxing would always feel that time was infinitely long. But now that Fang Yi was free, she had become busy. It was a trade-off, which was really depressing.

Her business had just been separated from the Lin family not long ago. Although most of the affairs were handed over to her subordinates, there were inevitably still many matters that she had to handle personally.

Perhaps because she was afraid that Fang Yi would be bored alone, the two black-faced devils were also brought over. The butler had specially picked them up and dropped them off. When she had put down the cat carrier, there were faint tears in her eyes.

Seeing that she was so reluctant, Fang Yi had politely asked her if she wanted to hug them before she left.

The butler had coughed reservedly. “This may be against the rules, but still, thank you.”

After she had finished, she had opened her arms to the woman and had assumed a very standard hugging posture.

Fang Yi: ?

“I was talking about the cat.”

“Then there’s no need.”

After sending off these two little gods, the butler had left quickly. In the time it had taken Fang Yi to turn around, she had already disappeared, without even having a sip of water.

At this time, Fang Yi had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

Except for the inconvenience of her left hand, she was actually quite satisfied with her current life.

She had a home, a cat, and could work remotely from home. He Shuanghua’s mission was almost over, and the little fox’s career was flourishing. She didn’t have much of a debt in points, and there was still the ten thousand from the snowy mountain promise on her account.

They were all very close to their dreams.

Fang Yi had taken a long vacation. Zong Heng had originally been quite critical and was very dissatisfied with her always doing things halfway, like a low-quality rubber band, with only two states: tense and loose.

But it was unknown what Wang Quan had said in the company. In the middle of the night, Fang Yi had received a message from Zong Heng, with a rare hint of humanity, saying that the project had already been implemented, and there was no need to be in a hurry. She was still young, and the future was still long.

Fang Yi was quite moved. This seemed to be the first time Zong Heng had said something nice to her.

But the next second, Zong Heng had said that there was a research institute in Yanjing that was making bionic mechanical arms, and the technology was already very mature, and they were willing to provide a spot.

Fang Yi: ?

She only had a slight fracture, not a broken arm.

After inquiring, she had only then learned that due to Wang Quan’s storytelling skills, which were comparable to spreading rumors, the superficial wound had become a “bloody hole” after being passed around. Her right hand was even more incredible. Before it had been unable to move, it had still been giving the middle finger to the culprit, expressing a stubborn and unyielding spirit of resistance.

Everyone knew that this was an exaggerated rhetoric, but Zong Heng had believed it.

She had probably guessed which car accident Fang Yi had been involved in. With the Li family’s methods, it was quite normal for it to be a car accident or an assassination.

He Shuanghua had won, but Li Sinian had not. Li Duqiu had actually not cared about the success or failure of a project at all. She had just deliberately let go to train Li Sinian.

If the sky fell, the Li family would hold it up. She could influence the mainstream media with a flick of her finger.

Li Sinian had been submissive for so many years. It was rare for her to be stubborn and refuse to admit her mistake, and she had been shouting that if anything happened to He Shuanghua, she would be buried with her.

The entire Li family had been in a mess. Li Duqiu had been so angry that she had almost had a heart attack. In a fit of rage, she had frozen all of Li Sinian’s assets and had told her to see clearly that without the family, she was nothing!

…

This news was all told to Fang Yi by Lin Shuxing.

A certain big king had also faintly said that Li Duqiu might as well accept He Shuanghua early on. This little girl was much smarter than Li Sinian, and it would also be good to improve the family’s genes.

The sarcasm was maxed out.

After the young lady had finished her schadenfreude-filled retelling, she had laughed and had fallen into Fang Yi’s arms, had hooked her chin, and her fair, rosy knuckles had slowly caressed the woman’s lips, and she had said in a low voice, “This is just the beginning.”

Fang Yi liked to see her so flamboyant and unrestrained smile, which reminded one of a summer garden, and ripe cherries, and the scent of youth rushed to her face.

Lin Shuxing’s hands were wrapped around her neck. They had kissed in the garden and had eaten the sweet and sour fruit together.

Fang Yi’s left hand was much better. Although she still couldn’t touch water, the gauze had been removed, and her movements were not as clumsy as before.

After a deep kiss, the young lady had gasped for breath and had told Fang Yi to close her eyes.

The woman had obediently listened. The waiting process was also full of expectation. A silk ribbon had slid past her wrist, and the silver box had still held the young lady’s body temperature, and had been gently placed between her fingers.

Click—

“You can look now.”

Fang Yi had opened her eyes and had been so blinded by the dazzling gems in front of her that she had closed them again.

A large box of diamond rings, of all colors, had been shining brightly in the sunlight. Even a layman could easily see that each one was priceless.

“Don’t you like this? I’ve chosen one of each color. You can match them with your clothes and wear them in rotation.”

The young lady had wrapped her arms around Fang Yi’s thin figure from behind and had given her a peck on the cheek as if asking for a reward.

The woman was not as surprised as she had expected, or rather, she was only surprised.

“It’s not that I like rings, but because you gave it to me,” Fang Yi had said slowly.

You gave it to me, a token that is not a love token.

So even if it had fallen off in the car accident, she had wanted to go back and pick it up. Later, she had even commissioned others with a lot of money to find it, wanting to find it back and give the young lady an explanation.

Only then had Fang Yi belatedly realized that to the young lady, a ring might just be a slightly more valuable accessory that could be replaced at any time.

So Lin Shuxing had not been wearing it all the time.

The young lady had been very pleased with this sentence. She had smiled and had held Fang Yi’s wrist, had helped her to take off the bare, plain ring that had lost its diamond, and had casually thrown it into the trash can.

It was too light. It had not made any sound when it had fallen into the darkness, and was not worth mentioning.

A new ring had been slowly pushed up. The young lady’s tender and soft hand had then held Fang Yi’s, and had carefully caressed the slightly rough calluses on the inside. The large and the small had formed a sharp contrast, and the same dazzling light had been shining between their fingers. She had admired it:

“It’s beautiful.”
