After I Woke Up to Find I Had a Wife - Chapter 43

“Pour sobering soup down this useless thing’s throat.” Lin Gong looked coldly and ruthlessly at the drunk Lin Sizheng.

The tall assistant nodded, took out a bottle of pungent, irritating sobering soup, directly gripped Lin Sizheng’s neck with both hands, and poured it down.

Lin Sizheng’s eyelids were half-closed. He desperately wanted to shut them completely. But thinking of the old man’s presence, he could only force himself to hang his head there and wait for the damned old man to finish venting and let him go home.

A pungent, sharp smell drilled into his already sluggish brain. Lin Sizheng’s jaw was forcefully pried open, and a large amount of spicy sobering soup was poured straight down.

“Ugh… ugh… ugh…”

Lin Gong stood not far away, covering his nose in disgust with a handkerchief.

Looking at this son who could not accomplish anything and only ruined things, Lin Gong grew angry no matter how he looked at him. If Siming’s leg had not been broken, he would not have had to use this illegitimate son.

Something that could not be brought onto the stage would always be unable to be brought onto the stage.

With a gloomy face, Lin Gong turned and got into the car, instructing the others to send Lin Sizheng back. Right now, he did not want to see this person at all.

Lin Gong’s kindly surface had already disappeared within his own vicious gaze. His narrow brow ridge was tightly twisted together. The originally plump, well-nourished face was now left with only a face full of harsh flesh.

When he had fought with Lin You’s grandfather for the position of family head, he had lost. When his son fought Lin Zhi, he had also lost. The Lin family’s third branch was like a cockroach that could not be killed, disgusting people.

Unwilling, Lin Gong gripped his black English-style cane. The veins on his withered hand bulged hideously. He had to seize the current opportunity. Before Lin Zhi returned, Lin You had to be pressed to death.

Did Su Qingfeng think that just because she came back alone, he would not know Lin Zhi’s movements?

Lin Gong withdrew his ferocity. His skill in maintaining composure was quite good, and he restored his surface gentleness again.

Lin Gong’s assistant expressionlessly poured down the sobering soup, then simply watched Lin Sizheng lie on the ground and vomit messily.

Afterward, he turned and gave the driver an instruction, then also left by car.

Seeing that everyone had left, the driver could no longer bear it. He opened a bottle of mineral water and hurriedly handed it over.

“Deputy Director Lin, are you all right?”

“Ugh… ugh… haha, I’m fine. Thank you.” Lin Sizheng sat heavily on the still-warm asphalt road and took the mineral water, drinking a mouthful.

“Cough, cough… Has that little girl already finished it?” Lin Sizheng, his hair messy and forehead covered in sweat, looked at his driver.

The driver nodded. “I saw that little girl drag President Lin away with my own eyes. Don’t worry, I already switched the drug.”

“Whew… That’s good. Let’s go back. That old bastard’s expression tomorrow will definitely be wonderful.” Lin Sizheng got up and leaned against the driver. The driver touched his head, feeling very distressed for him.

Fu Xinran searched from the first floor to the fourth floor but still did not find anyone. Some people at the banquet also sensed something was wrong. Seeing the aggressively imposing Fu Xinran, everyone tactfully began to take their leave one after another.

Seeing the guests leave, Xie Yun’an’s expression grew colder and colder. Every place in the Xie family that could be searched had already been searched.

Now, only the forbidden area remained. If she still had the slightest expectation for Xie Yunfeng before, then now she only wanted to kill him. But this was also an opportunity.

Standing beside the elevator, Xie Yun’an ultimately decided to go to the fifth floor. A password was needed to go up to the fifth floor.

No more than five people knew the elevator password.

Shen Mengmeng sat on the floor and thought for a while. She decided she could not be too excessive toward President Lin.

Dragging her aching legs, she got up and took a cushion, placing it under Lin You’s head. Then she casually took a blanket from the bed and covered her with it.

The little girl sat on the sofa, swinging her legs innocently and adorably. Shen Mengmeng felt a little embarrassed. She raised her head and looked at the little girl, then sat down beside her.

Shen Mengmeng had sweet features. Her palm-sized face was lively and pretty, and her voice was very sweet.

Her makeup was already completely ruined. Looking down at the smeared cosmetics and black mascara on her hands, she shrugged. She no longer cared.

“Little baby, next time you see someone like me, you must avoid them. Don’t talk to them, understand?” Shen Mengmeng smiled and touched her head, reminding her.

The little girl did not mind the hand on her head. Tilting her head, she said, “I’m not scared. I have Mom. If you could come up here, then Mom must have given you the password, right?”

Shen Mengmeng was full of question marks.

What password? She had never used that thing.

She had just opened the elevator, pressed the button for the fifth floor, and come straight up.

Could it be that the fifth floor was separated on its own? Were rich people nowadays all this good at playing?

“You have to enter a password. Without the password, you can’t come up,” the little girl said, also full of confusion. But she still insisted, because every time she came up, she had to press the password.

“System, still not done? Hiss.”

Lin You’s consciousness was hazy. Zzzzt. Under an electric current within the range the human body could bear, Lin You finally barely recovered a little awareness.

“Host, I can’t shock you anymore. If I shock you again, it may harm your spirit.”

“You’ve already recovered most of your consciousness. It’s just that the drug in your body hasn’t worn off yet. Hold on a little longer. Fu Xinran is almost here.”

The system had already shocked Lin You twice. It could not directly shock Lin You’s body while she was unconscious, so it could only target Lin You’s spirit—what could be called her soul—for electrical stimulation.

“All right. No more.” Lin You’s consciousness had cleared quite a bit. “Your point shop is a little too cumbersome. Can’t you stock some things that protect the host’s safety? Medicine would work too.”

After recovering a bit of strength, Lin You opened her mouth and immediately criticized the system. The system had also discovered the problem. It and Lin You had searched through the shop over and over but had not found any suitable medicine to counteract the drug.

The system fell silent. It had already sent a report to the main system. It did not know whether the main system could receive it.

While Shen Mengmeng was still trying to get close to the little girl, Lin You’s finger moved slightly. Junjun caught the slight twitch of Lin You’s muscle very quickly.

She showed a curious look, then glanced at Shen Mengmeng, who was still nagging.

“Junjun, Big Sister is telling you, there are many bad people in this world, you know? Of course, Big Sister is definitely a good person. But next time you see a situation like this, run immediately. Don’t stop. Understand?”

“Mm.” The little girl nodded and answered crisply. Suddenly, the little girl’s eyes lit up. “Big Sister, my mom is here.”

“Ah, that fast?” Shen Mengmeng looked at Junjun, who suddenly ran off. Before she could pull her back, Junjun had already run to the door.

Click.

The heavy wooden door opened. Junjun raised her head expectantly to look at her mother, then directly threw herself into her mother’s arms.

Fu Xinran and Xie Yun’an had already checked all the rooms on the fifth floor. Only this one remained.

Xie Yun’an had operated something on her phone, and the door opened from inside. When Fu Xinran’s tightly stretched nerves saw a pretty little girl, they almost collapsed.

They had searched the entire Xie residence. If they still could not find Lin You, Fu Xinran’s face was extremely cold, her eyes filled with an icy storm.

Xie Yun’an reached out to touch her daughter’s forehead. Just as she was about to ask her something, she saw a petite woman with disheveled makeup stick her head out like a turtle and carefully look around.

Shen Mengmeng saw Xie Yun’an and Fu Xinran.

Heavens. The people outside were all big shots with overwhelming auras. Only then did Shen Mengmeng belatedly realize that she might look a little wretched.

Especially the two Omegas before her. Their looks were so outstanding that “beautiful” was not enough to describe their beauty. They were beauties with better looks and temperament than every film queen and diva she had ever seen.

If they went to act in movies, they would directly crush all the stars in the industry, big and small.

Shen Mengmeng felt a little nervous inside. She raised a claw and foolishly waved at everyone.

“Hi?”

That greeting made the bodyguards behind them react. They immediately rushed forward and pressed Shen Mengmeng against the door.

Before Shen Mengmeng could react, her face was already pressed against the door, both hands forced behind her back.

“Pain, pain, pain… Let go… you people.” Shen Mengmeng got angry. Her brows twisted, and she roared at the people pressing down her hands from behind.

The moment Fu Xinran stepped into the room, she saw Lin You lying on the floor. She hurriedly stepped forward, her legs going soft as she knelt on the ground. Both hands trembled as she patted Lin You’s face.

Fu Xinran’s cool fingertips touched Lin You’s face. Tears slid down, one drop after another like broken strings of pearls, falling onto Lin You’s face.

Lin You sensed Fu Xinran’s aura. The wet droplets on her face fell onto the tip of her nose. Lin You became anxious. She wanted to get up and tell Fu Xinran she was fine.

Lin You desperately tried to move her body, but it was futile. She tried several times, but could not even move a finger.

“Madam Lin, let the doctor take a look. You must take care of your body. Family Head Lin will be fine.” The impact of a beauty crying made even Xie Yun’an, who was also an Omega, feel pity.

The Xie family doctor waiting nearby put down the medical kit and crouched on the ground, undoing Lin You’s tie and the buttons on her shirt. They carefully checked her pupils and nose.

The pulse monitor attached to Lin You’s hand was testing her pulse. The stethoscope was placed on Lin You’s chest, then her lungs were also checked. There were no major problems.

“Miss, President Lin has no obvious external injuries. She should have been drugged. We need to draw blood for testing.” The doctor put away the stethoscope and had the others first help Lin You onto the sofa to lie flat.

Xie Yun’an looked at Fu Xinran. For something like drawing blood for testing, Fu Xinran’s consent was required. Fu Xinran turned her head and glanced at Shen Mengmeng, who had a towel stuffed in her mouth and was pressed to the ground, unable to move.

Xie Yun’an followed Fu Xinran’s gaze and saw her too. With a nod, the bodyguard immediately pulled the towel out of Shen Mengmeng’s mouth.

“Madam Lin, I’m the one who saved President Lin. If you don’t believe me, ask Junjun.” Shen Mengmeng got an opening and hurriedly spat out the most important words.

“You know me?” Fu Xinran stood not far from Shen Mengmeng, her voice like ice, cold enough to kill.

Shen Mengmeng looked at the icy woman before her and froze.

So beautiful.

Her coldness was not indifference. It was more like a holy, beautiful snow mountain overlooking the world. Now that she had been angered, she was suppressing herself, like an avalanche about to erupt.

What would happen after an avalanche? An image of an avalanche appeared in Shen Mengmeng’s mind, and she shivered.

“I’m an artist under Tanglong Entertainment. At the annual meeting, you and President Lin both appeared in the company’s promotional materials.” Shen Mengmeng immediately answered. Now was the critical moment to save herself. She had to seize the chance.

“The Xie family never invites any workers from the entertainment industry.” Xie Yun’an’s lofty yet unscornful gaze fell on Shen Mengmeng’s face from the side.

The moment Shen Mengmeng clearly saw Xie Yun’an’s gaze, she felt extremely inferior, as if she had been stepped into the dirt. It had nothing to do with the other person’s gaze. She had only suddenly discovered that she herself was in the dust.

Shen Mengmeng lowered her head dejectedly and lay on the floor. Ignoring the female Beta pressing on her, she said in a muffled voice, “I was brought in by someone. He told me to wait for President Lin in the little garden, and then President Lin fainted.”

“I… There are some things I’ll only tell President Lin. I won’t tell anyone else. That person said President Lin was only drugged unconscious.”

“If you don’t believe me, go ask the doctor yourselves. Anyway, I didn’t do anything. On the contrary, I dragged President Lin here from the little garden.”

After saying this, Shen Mengmeng stopped speaking. She lay on the floor like a salted fish. Xie Yun’an originally still wanted to ask something, but Fu Xinran stopped her.

Doctor Zhuo An and another Lin family doctor, after receiving the notice, had also arrived. Their conclusions were almost the same. Everyone quickly sent Lin You to the nearest private hospital.

After Xie Yun’an verified things with Junjun, Shen Mengmeng was taken away by Fu Xinran.

Xie Yun’an saw Fu Xinran and the others off. She could not leave yet for now. There were still people in the family waiting for her to deal with them.
