09. Room 418

Lin Shengxia did not leave the Haoting Hotel. After coming out of room 419, she turned around and used the room card to open the room that was supposed to belong to her.

As soon as she opened the door, she fell weakly on the carpet, and she couldn't even insert the room card into the entrance. Her legs were shaking from the tossing and turning last night. If it wasn't for Gu Zekai, she wouldn't have been able to hold on until now. Thinking of this, Lin Shengxia suddenly curled up her legs and stared blankly at a corner in the cold room.

But as if he remembered something, his fingers gently stroked the wall on his left, as if - just to get closer to someone.

Lin Shengxia didn't cry, but that didn't mean she wasn't sad. When Gu Zekai said without caring about his face, "All the women in the Lin family are lowly," she already knew how much that man hated her in his heart, or maybe he hated the Lin family behind her!

Both of them were businessmen, and it was inevitable that they would meet at some public banquets. He did not conceal his icy cold eyes and his disgust for her, as if she were a bacteria.

Over time, people in the business community realized that the surnames Lin and Gu could never be put together!

But no one knows what kind of secrets are hidden in it!

She had her dignity, although sometimes she hated this about herself.

Lin Shengxia is not unaware of how people outside comment on her. Her self-confidence, strength and sharpness in negotiations make people avoid her. In the eyes of many men, a woman like her can be an excellent work partner but cannot be a qualified wife, simply because men prefer to have a gentle wife who whispers to them, asks about their well-being, cooks delicious meals and watches relaxing TV when they get home.

In fact, she should be thankful that Gu Zekai did not take action against Lin because of his hatred, otherwise, even if she relied on herself, she would not be able to turn the tide!

In City T, if Gu Zekai really wanted to wipe out a family, he would never leave any way out with his methods.

But obviously - when she first met Gu Zekai, he was not like this!

Lin Shengxia tilted her head to look at the wallpapered wall, as if she wanted to see through it what Gu Zekai was doing in the next room. Perhaps she felt that her idea was ridiculous, and her diamond-shaped lips curled up in a mocking smile, but this time she was mocking herself!

How could the strong woman who was widely discussed in the outside world be so timid? She was so timid that she dared not show the slightest feeling in front of a man, so timid that she could only hide in the next room separated by a wall and carefully guess what the man was doing at this moment? She was so timid that she could only use the same strong and cold sarcasm to cover up her secret love for a man!

Inside the door, she was just a woman named Lin Shengxia, and she would feel heartbroken and sad.

Outside the door, she represents the Lin family, so she has to disguise herself by being strong and tough!

But whether inside or outside the door, Lin Shengxia would not cry, simply because her tears had dried up the year her mother passed away!

After taking a deep breath, she finally stood up, put on the disguise mask again, opened the door and walked towards the elevator.

Even though she was sad, Lin Shengxia only allowed herself five minutes, just because -

She is Lin Shengxia from the Lin family. She must take good care of her mother's inheritance and prevent it from being coveted by outsiders, no one can do that!
