She waited for some time longer but there was no response until Secretary Wang’s voice came vaguely from the other end, “President, the meeting is about to begin.”

Then Lin Xin’er heard Xue Haolin saying, “I’m busy. Gotta go.”

Lin Xin’er heard the sound of a busy signal and found it hard to accept.

After all that she’d said, he didn’t have anything to say to her?

With all her sweet talking and effort going down the drain, she felt that she was at her wits’ end and that feeling irritated her.

Xue Haolin had spoilt her. In the past whenever she had frowned, he’d have been worried, asking if she had been feeling alright. How he had pampered her back then contrasted strikingly with how indifferent he was to her now, which made it impossible to accept.

She smashed her phone on the wall angrily. Only when she saw the phone case shattered into pieces did she feel a little bit less angry.

Jiang Hui thought she heard something, so she knocked on the door and went inside, asking worriedly, “Xin’er, what was that? What just happened?”

Lin Xin’er raised her hand and smoothed her hair, saying in a flat tone, “Nothing.”

Seeing that she didn’t look very happy, Jiang Hui didn’t dare to say more. Instead she asked, “The day after tomorrow is the day for your engagement party. Have you asked Haolin if it would be held as planned?”

What Jiang Hui said touched a raw nerve. All of a sudden, Lin Xin’er got agitated, “Of course it’ll be held as planned!”

Her pale face together with her sharp voice scared Jiang Hui so much that she dare not say one more word.

Lin Xin’er calmed herself and said, “Aunt, I’m sorry. I don’t feel quite myself today. Have you heard from Xiaomi? She must be mad at what happened that day. Ask her to come here and I want to apologize to her. Also I’m about to get engaged. She should be there to witness it, right?”

When she heard Lin Xiaomi’s name, Jiang Hui’s face turned pale. She frowned, “I can’t get through to her. It seemed that she has vanished into thin air. Is it really that necessary for her to come? All that’s on her mind is to avenge her grandma. She’ll only spoil everything if she comes.”

In Saatchi Group…

Xue Haolin threw his phone aside and disgust could be seen in his eyes. Secretary Wang stood beside him. In fact there was no meeting at all. She just came in here to take coffee to him.

“You still haven’t found her?” Xue Haolin’s face was a bit pale and his eyes were filled with blood.

The assistant shook his head. He was frightened and said nervously, “Sorry, President, it seemed that Miss Lin has vanished completely. She quit her job at the magazine and her phone is powered off. These days she didn’t go back to her apartment. I went to her workplace and asked, but no one knew where she went. Even her resignation letter was handed in by a man.”

Xue Haolin looked gloomy, “Do you know who that man is?”

The assistant shook his head embarrassingly, “Sorry, President, I couldn’t find anything about him.” He reached out to wipe the sweat off his forehead, “I tried to check the footage from the closed-circuit television cameras near Miss Lin’s apartment, but it was an old community and there wasn’t any cameras. All I found out is that before she disappeared, the second master of the Tang Family went there quite often.”

Xue Haolin’s eyes suddenly turned sharp. Tang Fengmo was notorious as a womanizer. He couldn’t imagine what would happen if Lin Xiaomi were with Tang Fengmo.

He took his phone, found Tang Fengmo’s phone number and dialed it.

“Mr. Tang, I’m Xue Haolin. I wonder if you’d like to have a meal with me.”

When Tang Fengmo arrived, he heard it from the waitress that Xue Haolin had been there for a while.

The Tang Family had no business dealings with the Xue Family, so there was really no need for him to come here.

But he was a little curious about what was going on between Xue Haolin and Lin Xiaomi. He meant to hear what Xue Haolin had to say.

In the quiet box, after the dishes were all served, only the two of them remained.

Tang Fengmo leaned lazily on the chair and asked coolly, “Mr. Xue, you asked to see me. What’s the matter?”

Xue Haolin also asked in a straightforward manner, “Xiaomi is missing. I heard that the last time she was seen, she was with you. That’s why I asked you to come here. How is Xiaomi doing now?”

The devil on Tang Fengmo’s shoulder slapped his leg forcibly and snorted: I knew that this was about Lin Xiaomi.

He dared to have an ulterior motive about Mrs. Leng. He was a dead man!

Tang Fengmo sneered as if he had just heard a ridiculous joke, “Xiaomi? As far as I can remember, you’ve always called her Miss Lin. Tut-tut, if being a brother-in-law were a job, then you had done a pretty good one. You care so much when it comes to the whereabouts of your sister-in-law.”

Xue Haolin’s face froze and he pursed his lips when he met Tang Fengmo’s sharp gaze.

But Tang Fengmo just laughed heartlessly as if he were trying to drive him crazy.

“So you’re not gonna tell me then?” As a businessman, Xue Haolin had dealt with all kinds of situations all these years. Everything that he owned, he earned it by fighting hard for it. That was why he’d got this natural majesty in him.

But among all the people, he was faced with a man with a loose tongue.

Tang Fengmo appeared to be scared by shivering exaggeratedly, “Mr. Xue, why are you staring at me? I’m so scared! Please don’t look at me like that. Right, I don’t have the same blood type with that fiancée slash freak of yours, so my heart is of no use to her. Please just let me go.”

Tang Fengmo spoke in a queer way, but every word he said was a real slap in the face to Xue Haolin.

The grip he had on the glass grew tighter and if one was attentive enough, they could even hear the glass slightly cracking.
Tang Fengmo smiled sarcastically: Humph, you won’t scare me. I’ve got Young Master Leng backing me up. Whoever dares to pick on me will be dead meat.

Tang Fengmo stood up in a lazy manner and waved his hand, “I have no appetite. Mr. Xue, you take your time. As for Xiaomi, I suggest that you stop harassing her. If that jealous and vindictive fiancée of yours learnt about this, Xiaomi would surely become a victim of her unreasonable retribution. Farewell!”

Just like that, Tang Fengmo came and went without any notice, leaving what was enough to make anyone furious.

Xue Haolin had always believed that he could remain calm in any kind of situations. He also knew that Tang Fengmo said that to irritate him, but he still couldn’t control how furious he felt right now.

His already blood-filled eyes turned scarlet and the hands that grasped the glass trembled slightly.

After Tang Fengmo walked outside the box, he curled his lip sarcastically, hummed a tune and left feeling triumphant.

Lin Xiaomi charged her phone. The moment she turned it on, numerous call reminders popped out.

There were missed calls from Sun Ru, Wen Jing, Xue Haolin, and even Jiang Hui and Lin Xin’er.

Lin Xiaomi looked at that name

Even now when she saw Lin Xin’er’s name, she couldn’t help having this surging feeling of resentment in her heart.

She opened the browser, typed in three characters: Leng Yihuang and clicked on the “Search” button.
