Chapter 7 Everyone Has Their Own Fate

Jinhai Road, Biotechnology Research Institute.

Lin Ping curled up on the couch, her body continuously twisting.

There was a bit of vomit on the floor.

The Chinese medicine pills had all entered her stomach, tormenting her like a raging fire, unbearably bitter.

Chen Xin stood by expressionlessly.

Suddenly, Lin Ping got up and grabbed the corner of his shirt, "Chen Xin, I feel so awful, just a sip, please, just one, or I will die!"

Chen Xin glanced at his watch, "It's not time yet, bear with it."

"Why do you have to treat me like this when we all grew up together? How can you be so heartless and watch me suffer?"

Chen Xin leaned in close, his eyes full of anger.

"How dare you bring that up? It's because Brother Shen cares about the old times that he sent me here! If it were Bai Long, given his nature, what do you think he would do to you after you did such a thing?"

Lin Ping's back turned cold upon hearing this, "Bai Long, has he returned?"

"Not yet."

"Are you going to tell him?"

Chen Xin's eyes lowered, "No."

Lin Ping breathed a sigh of relief, but her body was still burning uncomfortably, and her heartbeat was so rapid it seemed uncontrollable, as if she might die at any moment.

She clung tightly to Chen Xin with her delicate hands, her eyes blurry, the corners of her mouth slightly curved.

Gradually, her consciousness became confused.

"There's something you guys never knew. Last year, Brother Shen asked me to deliver sedative pills to the lady, and guess who I met at Bie Yuan, it was unbelievable, it was actually..."

Chen Xin suddenly showed a fierce look and harshly slapped Lin Ping.

"Shut up, have you forgotten who you are?"

Lin Ping seemed to be awakened by the slap, immediately releasing Chen Xin's shirt corner.

She felt so wretched at the moment, being a medical doctor, having achieved so many honors, yet she couldn't redeem herself.

"My identity, what identity? Isn't 10 years of waiting long enough?"

Chen Xin turned his head away, not responding.

The clock inside the room tick-tocked...

Lin Ping continued to question, "Tell me, why can Lady Tang, but not me? Is it because I am old and not as pretty as her? But I was once young too, why can Brother Shen not see it?"

Her words were filled with sorrow, and she sobbed as she spoke.

Chen Xin observed the woman in front of him.

The woman with whom he grew up and fought side by side.

She was not only not old but also stunning.

She had captivating eyes and a proud figure.

Especially when her slightly curly long hair swayed at her slender waist, it inevitably led men to fantasize.

Human feelings are inevitable!

But Lin Ping forgot her place, she shouldn't focus on her young master, nor should she challenge the master's limits.

If it hadn't been for Li Zhenshan's kindness in taking them in, they would have starved to death on the streets long ago.

The Leng Family's kindness to them was as heavy as a mountain.

Not only did they lead a carefree life, but they also spared no expense to educate and ensure each of them had a skill.

"Everyone has their own fate, you shouldn't ask for too much."

"Yes, I know, but I never really intended to harm Lady Tang! Taking two pills a day wouldn't have much effect, at most cause irritability."

"It's a matter of principle, a mistake is a mistake."

"Then please ask Brother Shen for mercy on my behalf, tell him I realize my mistake, I will quickly come up with a solution to help Lady Tang recover her memory, okay?"

"Do you think that's the only mistake you've made?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why use experimental medication in Mei Garden? That was glass! Taking it out brutally, doesn't Lady Tang feel the pain?"

Lin Ping quickly averted his gaze and lowered his head.

Guilt, fear, panic, a flood of complex emotions surged in.

Before heading to Nanshan, Lin Ping was the only one in Li Garden who had seen Tang Xiaowan, apart from Chen Xin.

A year ago, to quickly find out who the unjustly treated little girl was, Li Zishen specifically left Chen Xin in Qingcheng and issued a death order: if you can't find the person, you're not allowed to return to Li Garden for a day.

Chen Xin was not only the domestic project director of Yishen Group but also Li Zishen's personal bodyguard.

However, that time, his post was left vacant for seven full days.

Such misuse of great talent, all just to find a little girl.

Lin Ping was curious and confused.

Later, when she met Tang Xiaowan in person, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis she had never experienced before. She hated the girl's beautiful appearance and even more so her vibrant energy.

She too had possessed all these attributes once!

Unfortunately, during the best years of her life, she wasn't as fortunate as Tang Xiaowan.

Lin Ping's breathing became more labored.

She started to breathe heavily, too nervous to control herself.

"At that time, the situation was so urgent that I grabbed the wrong medication when I left! It was indeed my negligence, but it wasn't intentional, I hope..."

"With those little tricks of yours, you think Brother Shen didn't know? He was just considering past affections, wanting to give you another chance, but you... you disappointed him too much."

So Brother Shen had known all along.

No wonder Li Weilian came back at this time.

No, he cannot replace me.

Only I am the most loyal, the most reliable.

Lin Ping panicked.

She knew that if she couldn't see Li Zishen today, she might never get the chance in her lifetime.

Without Li Zishen's orders, she couldn't even enter the gates of Li Garden.

"I was wrong, I want to see Brother Shen."

"There's no chance left for you, you have ten minutes to prepare."

"No, I must see Brother Shen!"

"An hour ago, I received a call from Bai Long, everything there has been settled. According to Brother Shen's habit, he will arrange for his return to Jin City by tomorrow morning at the latest; you better watch yourself."

"That quick! Everything's cleared up?"

Chen Xin nodded and left.

He left a black bank card on the table.

Lin Ping, with her face streaked with tears, rushed to the cabinet, twisted open a bottle of medicine, and poured it into her mouth, then collapsed to the floor.

"Brother Shen, I was wrong, I'm sorry!"

After leaving, Chen Xin's expression was stern; he flicked his index finger slightly twice, and two brawny bodyguards quickly approached him.

The voices were very low, audible only to the three of them.

After giving instructions, the two bodyguards continued to stand at attention, and Chen Xin, without turning his head, got into a black sedan.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the second floor of Li Garden.

Tang Xiaowan was in her bedroom enjoying food, her silver-gray robe outlining her slender figure exquisitely.

Her skin was like a baby's, tender and smooth.

At 20 years old, indeed a girl's most beautiful age, her face had the most collagen, radiating youth from the inside out.

Yet, her way of eating was not at all ladylike, quite unrestrained.

On the lounge chair, with her legs crossed, humming Little Qu'er, one slipper on the balcony, the other turned upside down near the entrance, her dark, low ponytail as messy as a bird's nest.

Suddenly, three knocks sounded.
