Chapter 165: Achieved Her Goal

In the car, Xing Linlin deliberately cozied up to Xing Zewu. She wanted to see how far Xing Zewu could go for her. After what happened last night, her reputation had been ruined. Cheng Xingyang did not even come to pick her up today. This was the first time Xing Linlin tasted defeat. All these years, she had been tainting Xing Shu l s reputation and did not expect her efforts to come to nought in the end. She had to fight back. The first step of fighting back was to see how far Xing Zewu could go for her.
Xing Linlin turned her head with reddened eyes. She looked very sad. “Brother, Xing Shu was the one who told me to handle the donation paperwork back then. She told me to use my name. I didn’t expect her to turn around and spin a different tale in the end. I was too naive. How could anyone treat me well for no reason? She must have known that I was the rightful daughter of the Xing family long ago, so she deliberately set me up like this.”
Xing Zewu could not bear to see Xing Linlin suffer. He had lost a lot of weight recently. The two of them were just one step away from getting to home run. But now, they were biological siblings. Xing Zewu gripped the steering wheel tightly and controlled himself not to look into Xing Linlin’s eyes. “The Xing family will settle this matter. Next time, when you treat someone with an open heart, remember to be careful. Dont be deceived again.”
It seemed that he had forgiven her and believed her words. Xing Linlin lowered her eyes. Xing Zewu trusted her, so she could make good use of this.
Xing Linlin tugged at Xing Zewu’s sleeve. “I’m sorry, Brother. I didn’t expect to be the daughter of the Xing family. Don’t be angry with me. You’ll definitely meet a better woman in the future.”
Xing Zewu was soft-hearted toward Xing Linlin. When he heard this, his heart ached. “Yeah, I will. So will you.”
Xing Linlin choked on her tears. “I won’t. After that viral video was circulated and coupled with what happened last night, no one will dare to marry me in the future. Cheng Xingyang didn’t come to pick me up today either. He must be disappointed in me.” She wiped her tears. “Brother, Cheng Xingyang and I are together because we got drunk that day. When I woke up, I was also very flustered. I didn’t know what to do. I don’t like Cheng Xingyang, but the person I really like will never look at me.”
“What do you mean? Who do you like?” Xing Zewu found it strange. Over the years, he had been used to agreeing to Xing Linlin’s requests. He had never rejected her requests.
Xing Linlin had been hankering after Cheng Lang for a long time. She took this opportunity to express her true feelings. “This incident has made me realize that Cheng Xingyang doesn’t really like me. I won’t be happy with him. I’ve seen Cheng Lang a few times in the past. He’s a man worth entrusting my life to and better than Cheng Xingyang. If I can be with Cheng Lang, I’d be willing to die even. Brother, can you help me?
