Adopting/Raising The Male Lead and The Villain

47

Zhong Yuhuan paused for a bit and went on, "Xu Yunhui had put up with Zhong Chi for 20 years and finally became his legally wedded wife. She doesn't say it, but she was proud of her achievement. If she suddenly realized that what she had been working on for 20 years could just disappear like that, she would go crazy. She would look for an alternative and go after Zhong Chi's pocket book."

Lang Jinzhi listened to her long speech and showed no signs of being impatient. After this very moment, he was finally certain that his cousin had changed greatly, from her personality to her ability to plot, everything about her had changed. And, the best part of it all was that she was still able to maintain such a clear mind amidst all this and not let hatred and revenge cloud her eyes. She still remembered that she needed to plan for a better future for herself.

Lang Jinzhi carried on nonchalantly, "She would first want to make Zhong Chi give her son the legal rights. Once the opportunity arose, they can do away with Zhong Chi. By then, her son would be the Zhong's legal heir."

Zhong Yuhuan laughed. Her girly laugh reached the other end of the phone and got to Lang Jinzhi's ear, it tucked on his heartstring and softened him up.

Zhong Yuhuan, "Yes, and I will be out of the country just to leave them ample amount of time to carry out what they have in mind. They would want to have everything taken care of when I was out of the country. But they won't know when I will return."

Lang Jinzhi held the cellphone tighter, walked into his office, and sat down. "Do you really think they will have the courage to do that?"

"Twenty years she had been waiting for this. Now that she was finally Mrs. Zhong, her tolerance would continue to decline. In order to get her repayment for the past 20 years, she will become bolder and bolder. As long as Xu Yunhui bring it up, Xu Yushan would for certain buy into it as well," said Xu Yunhui.

For greed, Xu Yunhui was willing to be someone's lover and didn't even let go when he got married. She gave birth to two kids out of wedlock, and still she wouldn't let it go. His wife died from anger because of her, she was yelled at, beaten, still she wouldn't let it go...

Therefore, because of greed, they would never let go of the Zhong's empire.

"I understand what you are trying to say now," said Lang Jinzhi.

"Then, do I need to tell cousin specifically how to proceed?" asked Zhong Yuhuan.

Lang Jinzhi paused for a second.

If it was the past, perhaps he would, but now....

Lang Jinzhi looked down at the fountain pen on his desk.

He said in a low voice, "No need. There are men who can take care of it."

Zhong Yuhuan immediately switched away from her sophisticated self and resumed her normal light-hearted tone and asked, "How much would that cost?"

"You can keep your money," said Lang Jinzhi.

Zhong Yuhuan stuck her tongue out, "Then how can I repay you, cousin?"

Lang Jinzhi paused for a second. He rarely ever received gifts, and definitely did not have any experiences asking for gifts. He thought about it for a while and finally said, "My fountain pen is out of ink."

"Okay! I will go buy some for cousin tomorrow after school!" said Zhong Yuhuan in an even more cheerful voice.

"Mm."

Zhong Yuhuan asked in a low voice, "When are you free, cousin?"

"Huh?"

"I want to go have dinner with grandpa at Yue Lan Mansion. And I want to take Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan with me. They should go meet their grandfather too."

Zhong Yuhuan wanted to strengthen the two boys' sense of home.

She wanted them to know that they were truly, truly tied together and would never be apart. That was why she needed to introduce them to her family.

Lang Jinzhi paused on his end, probably looking at his calendar.
