C19 Her Selfredemption(19)

The business rivalry between Mo Tingchen and Lin Chen left both their companies in shambles. Mo's family was extremely displeased with him, and he was overwhelmed trying to make up for the losses.

One day, Mo Tingchen was discussing a partnership with a young female CEO at a restaurant when Yiyi stumbled upon them. Misunderstanding the situation, Yiyi ran off, and Mo didn't chase after her.

Heartbroken, Yiyi went to find Lin Chen. "Lin, why are your clothes so wrinkled?" she asked.

"I've been really busy these past few days, no time to change," Lin replied.

"Lin, you're all I have now," Yiyi said, tears welling up in her eyes.

Lin Chen kept his tone gentle, "Yiyi, did Mo Tingchen upset you?"

"Lin, he... boo hoo..." Yiyi cried, hugging Lin tightly.

Lin patted her back, comforting her, "Yiyi, you know how I feel about you, right? If you break up with him, I'll always be here for you."

Yiyi thought Mo Tingchen was completely unreliable now. Lin Chen was wealthy, handsome, and much more gentle. Maybe it was time for a change.

"Lin, really? You'll always be good to me?"

"Yes, as long as you want."

"Lin, you're so good to me."

Seeing Yiyi's shy expression, Lin leaned in and kissed her. Yiyi put up a token resistance before they ended up entwined on the couch.

Afterward, Lin looked at Yiyi, a sinister smile on his face. Yiyi woke up startled, seeing Lin's expression. "Lin, what's wrong?" she asked.

Lin quickly reverted to his gentlemanly demeanor, "Yiyi, you were having a nightmare and saw things wrong."

"Maybe I did see it wrong. Lin, let's go eat."

"Okay."

A fleeting look of malice crossed Lin's eyes.

"Host, I've detected that Lin Chen is going dark. He and Yiyi are already..."

"Hanhan, what does his dark turn have to do with me?"

Yuan Lingling was lounging on the couch, watching TV with a face mask on.

"A devoted supporting character going dark could be bad for the protagonist."

"Hanhan, the original wish was to get back at the protagonist. Are you sure you want me to intervene? Hmm?"

"Host, you're always right. The system next door is calling me, so I'm logging off!"

Hanhan thought: Who cares about the protagonist when merit points are so appealing?

Yuan Lingling felt a bit annoyed. Wasn't Lin Chen supposed to be the devoted one? And all this over a gift?

She looked into Lin Chen's recent situation and found out his family had abandoned him. The Lin family couldn't compete financially with the Mo family, and Lin Chen's relentless battle with Mo Tingchen had cost his company dearly, leading to his ousting as CEO.

Yuan Lingling chuckled. Lin Chen and Yuan Yiyi's so-called love was built on financial stability. Now that Lin Chen had lost everything because of Yuan Yiyi, he must be resentful.

But Yuan Yiyi being involved with someone other than Mo Tingchen was a real surprise.

"Are you really interested in this Lin Chen?" Mooh Bai asked, feeling a bit jealous as he watched Yuan Lingling stare at the computer screen.

"Huh? No, I just don't get along with Yuan Yiyi, so I'm looking into people connected to her."

"If you need anything done, just ask me. He's a guy; you shouldn't keep looking at him."

"I'm just checking some info... Hey, don't turn off my computer... Okay, okay, I won't look anymore. Mooh Bai, I'm hungry."

"Alright, I'll make us something to eat."

Mooh Bai headed to the kitchen, satisfied.

In reality, Lin Chen's company fell so quickly because Mooh Bai had a hand in it.

Yuan Lingling sent the details about Yuan Yiyi and Lin Chen to Mo Tingchen.
