My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 124 - 122 Old Affairs 1

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhenxin’s expression was icy.

"It’s actually easy to explain, because your mother and Wan Zhi were not born from the same womb."

Tu Shaochen cast his gaze into the distance, as if he was speaking of something unrelated to both of them.

Lin Zhenxin’s slender fingers gradually clenched.

"Xinya’s temperament is very much like her mother’s, cold and detached, with stubbornness in her bones, not sweet-mouthed, not likable, silent yet doing many unknown things, burying them in her heart..."

Realizing that he had said too much, Tu Shaochen abruptly stopped.

"My elder brother and Xinya’s mother... to outsiders, they said it was a business alliance, but in fact, it was my mother who forced my brother to marry Xinya’s mother. At that time, my brother truly admired Wan Zhi’s mother, but because their statuses were too disparate, my parents absolutely disagreed."

Tu Shaochen squinted his eyes slightly, as if immersed in memories.

But Lin Zhenxin never expected that there would be such an outrageous melodrama entangled in all this!

"Businessmen prioritize profit, emotions always come after fortune and interests, that’s what my father taught us since we were young."

"My elder brother learned it all too well!"

"Xinya’s mother brought a large sum of money into the Tu Family when she married, and my brother used that money to expand the Tu Family, elevating it from a third-tier company to a top-tier enterprise in J City, rivaling the Li Family at the time!"

"You don’t want to tell me that Elder Tu also kept Wan Zhi’s mother in a golden house at the same time, do you?"

Tu Shaochen’s expression was subtle for a moment, but fleeting, and finally, he nodded.

"I won’t mention the past events, anyway, the end result was that Xinya’s mother passed away in depression, less than half a year later, Wan Zhi’s mother entered the house with her child! Of course, my parents set conditions for entry, which were that neither she nor Wan Zhi would have any inheritance rights!"

"From that point, the matter was settled, and no more waves were stirred."

Lin Zhenxin’s expression was cold, those unmentioned issues were clearly the scheming and intrigue between women.

The outcome was nothing more than ’to the victor goes the spoils’.

"I don’t know if it’s karma, but not many years later, Wan Zhi’s mother was also gone, leaving just the two sisters."

"Ironically, without knowing the past, the two have a very good relationship."

Tu Shaochen’s lips curled into a cold smile, startling Lin Zhenxin, who couldn’t help but feel there was an indescribable feeling when he talked about his brother’s legitimate wife.

"But there’s a secret that no one knows!"

As if sensing Lin Zhenxin’s inner thoughts, Tu Shaochen suddenly changed the topic, meeting her eyes.

"Xinya’s mother left her a fortune worth billions!"

"There are only three people in the world who know this, one is my brother, another is my sister-in-law, and the last one... is me! She told me in person, so it can’t be false!"

"The plan was to transfer the money to Xinya’s account when she gets married, to ensure her financial security!"

"But your father took money from my brother and seduced your mother to elope with him!"

"You’re lying!" Lin Zhenxin suddenly stood up, glaring at Tu Shaochen!

What did he just say? That her father took money from Tu Shaohong? Seduced her mother to run away?

She didn’t believe it!

She absolutely didn’t believe it! freewebnσvel.cøm

"He did take money from my brother, I saw it with my own eyes!"

Tu Shaochen spoke in a deep voice, looking at Lin Zhenxin with some pity in his eyes!

"What’s the purpose?" Lin Zhenxin struggled to regain her voice.

"If Xinya wanted to leave the Tu Family with your father, she had to sign an agreement to relinquish everything under her name! That was the purpose!"

"My brother’s purpose!"

Tu Shaochen seemed to be caught up in the memory, his voice filled with strong emotions!

"My brother didn’t like my sister-in-law, he couldn’t even tolerate the children she bore, because... in his view, they were constant reminders of his forced marriage to a woman he didn’t love by our parents! You’ve met him, you should know, he’s arrogant, controlling, as if the whole world has to be at his fingertips! In contrast, the more he disliked Xinya, the more he liked Wan Zhi!"

Lin Zhenxin’s defenses collapsed with a roar, her mind was blank!

Reason told her that what this person said was true, but emotionally, she couldn’t accept it!

"Did you invite me here just to tell me all this?"

When she said this, Lin Zhenxin’s voice was hoarse, her eyes wide with anger!

Tu Shaochen just looked at her, and after an unknown time, pushed a document he had long placed by his hand towards her.

"This is my real purpose."

Lin Zhenxin glanced at him suspiciously but still opened the document bag, her expression turning to shock when she saw what was written on the paper!

"You..."

"Not to mention that Xinya is someone I’ve watched grow up, and moreover, this time my brother acted without mercy on Jiaojiao just for the daughter of a despicable woman, I cannot remain indifferent either emotionally or logically!"

"I hold thirteen percent of the shares in the Tu Family, today, I transfer them all to you!"

What Lin Zhenxin held in her hand was the stock transfer agreement!

"You have full rights to enter the Tu Family board of directors!"

"I’m not interested in joining the Tu Family board of directors!"

"You are Xinya’s daughter, if the day ever comes that she returns, the shares in your hands will allow you and your mother to stand tall in the Tu Family! Even if not for yourself, for your mother, are you sure you have no interest?"

One sentence from Tu Shaochen rendered Lin Zhenxin silent.

After an indeterminate amount of time, she reached out to take the pen from Tu Shaochen’s hand and heavily signed her name on the document!

"No matter what conflict you have with my brother in the future, just call on me, I’ll stand by your side unconditionally!"

Lin Zhenxin heard him say.

But a tear fell silently in response.

"If my father felt no affection for my mother, then what am I?"

If her existence was just a tool for Tu Shaohong to reclaim everything, then what is she?

Watching Lin Zhenxin’s tears, Tu Shaochen remained silent for a long time, as this question was something he couldn’t answer for anyone!

"I’ll have someone take you back."

Finally, he uttered only that sentence...

Lin Zhenxin had them take her back to the subway station.

Beside her was a box of her personal items, sitting dazedly on a bench at the subway station entrance.

The cold wind was biting, and her camel cashmere coat offered no warmth.

Her phone kept vibrating, but Lin Zhenxin felt nothing, her pale face staring off into the distance.

At some point, a tall figure stood before her, unmoving.

Lin Zhenxin looked up dazedly.

The sharply defined, chiseled handsome face appeared before her.

Thin lips pressed tightly, inadvertently revealing faint nasolabial folds.

Who else could it be but Li Yanan?

Lin Zhenxin’s canvas shoes accidentally kicked his calf, leaving a faint shoe print on his pants.

"Didn’t I tell you to call me? Why are you sitting here?"

Li Yanan placed his warm large hand over her chilly face, noticing how she was shivering with cold. He took off his coat and draped it over her.

Underneath the coat, he wore only a thin black shirt, the one she bought for him yesterday.

Only when she smelled his familiar, crisp scent did Lin Zhenxin stop shivering and come to her senses.

"Why are you dressed so lightly? You’ll catch a cold!" Lin Zhenxin pretended to give the coat back to him.

But how could her strength compare to Li Yanan’s?

He held her down firmly, putting his coat over hers.

For a moment, Lin Zhenxin looked humorously bulky.

"Men are not afraid of the cold!"

He said, pulling her soft, small hand into his palm, kneeling before her, and blowing warm breath onto her hands.

— Liar.

This word twirled on Lin Zhenxin’s lips but in the end, she swallowed it back.

Li Yanan sensed she was troubled.

In fact, he’d arrived at the station half an hour early, and Sister Wang had told him Zhenxin left half an hour ago.

He called her, but she never answered.

Until he saw her pale face blown by the wind from a distance at the subway entrance.

Lost in thought, she didn’t notice he was approaching.

"Yanan..." Lin Zhenxin suddenly spoke.

Li Yanan looked up, quietly responding, waiting patiently.

"Will you men really, for the sake of money..."

"Pardon?" She hadn’t spoken for a long time, and when Li Yanan looked, he saw tears streaming down Lin Zhenxin’s face!

"Abandon all shame, sell your emotions?"

Whether she felt wronged for her mother or sad for herself, she didn’t know.

Li Yanan fell silent instantly. His handsome face remained calm but exuded a chill.

Lin Zhenxin belatedly realized she’d asked the wrong question.

Wasn’t it for wealth that his father...

"Do you think I would?" Li Yanan reached out and tucked Lin Zhenxin’s windblown hair behind her ear.

Lin Zhenxin instinctively shook her head.

Li Yanan seemed quite satisfied with her reaction, though his handsome face showed no emotional fluctuation.

"As long as you believe I won’t, that’s enough; other men, I don’t care about."

Li Yanan brought her cold hands to his lips for a gentle kiss, their matching platinum rings on their ring fingers glinting.

"Get on." Li Yanan turned his back to her and said.

Confused, Lin Zhenxin just stared at his broad back.

"The car’s parked a bit far, let me carry you there." Saying that, he had already picked up the box of her personal items.

Lin Zhenxin didn’t speak; she wouldn’t dare in broad daylight.

Besides, it was in front of a bustling subway station.

"No way." She muttered, getting up herself. Li Yanan got up as well.

He said nothing, just reaching out to pat her on the head!

"Why does it feel like you’re raising a daughter?" Li Yanan loved to tousle her head, a habit he’d formed.
