Stealing Your Heart Chapter 146


    This was the first time Zong Jinghao had seen her in formal wear. The pink silk on her disyed her


    elegant curves. The ankle-length dress was perfectly tailored and the waist was gathered to show off


    her thin waist. Her hair was casually done up and it gave off the unique charm of femininity.


    It was only when she turned around then she realized the burning gaze from the man beside the car.


    She was about to greet him when Zong Jinghao started walking into the store with no signs of wanting


    to talk to her.


    Lin Xinyan seemed to understand his reaction. He must have seen Yuxiu’s car earlier.


    After Yuxiu had followed Lin Xinyan to the meeting room, Su Zhan had called Zong Jinghao.


    He came hurriedly, worrying that Yuxiu would put her in a difficult position or embarrass her. Who knew


    that when he came, the two were talking happily as if they were familiar with each other.


    He felt surprised. Lin Xinyan had note back that long so how did they know each other?


    And it seemed like they were on close terms.


    When Su Zhan saw Zong Jinghaoe in, he immediately walked over to him. “They just left.”


    “I saw.” The corner of Zong Jinghao’s lips were turned upwards, but it was not a joyous smile.


    Su Zhan shrugged. “They went into the room to talk so we didn’t hear anything. I don’t know what


    they’d talked about, but I’m sure that’s definitely not the first time they’ve met.”


    When they met, they did not seem like strangers to each other.


    “You’ve brought her home before? Is that why she knows her?” Su Zhan did not think that it was a


    usible reason. It was not Zong Jinghao’s style to bring Lin Xinyan home back then.


    His matters were decided by only himself. He was unable to reject the marriage because it was


    arranged by histe mother.


    He coldly said, “No.”


    Su Zhan immediately stopped talking. It seemed like there was something going on here. How did Lin


    Xinyane to know Yuxiu?


    Su Zhan opened his mouth and was about to continue talking when Shen Peichuan pulled onto him.


    He reminded, “Can’t you see that he’s in a bad mood?”


    Su Zhan closed his mouth.


    By this time, many guests have arrived. Lin Xinyan did not see Zong Jinghao when she returned to the


    lounge and Mrs. William had pulled her along to introduce her to friends, so Lin Xinyan packed away


    her thoughts.


    “You’ll be taking care of my clothes from now on.” The woman, who looked like she was in her fifties,


    had a graceful look. Her figure was slightly plump and she was wearing a ck dress with a veil cape.


    She looked noble in her clothes.


    The people who can afford to wear LEO’s designs were either rich or powerful.


    As Country Z’s capital, B City naturally had many rich people.


    “Thank you for your trust.” Lin Xinyan answered with a smile.


    “When I wanted to wear LEO’s designs, I had to go out of the country just to design my clothes. Now


    this is much better.” She looked at Mrs. William, and as if she wasining, she said, “It’s long due


    for you to open a branch here.”


    She seemed curious as to why Mrs. William had decided to open a branch here in Country Z. “Why did


    you think of opening a branch? And here, Country Z, of all ces? Is there a story behind it?”


    Mrs. William’s expression turned tense. The story behind this was a long story, and she did not want to


    talk about it. Lin Xinyan came to her rescue and said, “It’s me. I’m the one who asked Mrs. William to


    open a branch. I’m from Country Z, so naturally, the store is here.”


    “Oh, I see.” It was not a serious question, so the woman did not suspect the truth behind her words.


    “There’ll be a catwalkter. The designs are exclusively for LEO’s opening. If you like them, you can


    get them.” Mrs. William continued chatting with her.


    At this moment, a few guests hade in. It was Xia Zhenyu and He Ruilin. Perhaps it was because of


    the incidents at home, Xia Zhenyu looked tired. However, she hade because she was familiar with


    Mrs. William.


    Holding her arms was He Ruilin. She was Lin’s eldest daughter, naturally she had dressed up well. She


    was wearing a ck dress that exposed her back. There were slits on the dress that went up to her


    thigh. She looked seductive.


    She knew that Lin Xinyan would be here, so she had spent time and effort in dressing up.


    She no longer had the impulsiveness from before when she met with Lin Xinyan. This time, she was


    quietly standing beside Xia Zhenyu.


    The plump woman from earlier greeted Xia Zhenyu. Rich wives often apanied their husbands for


    events, it was normal for them to know each other for a few meetings.


    And they knew Mrs. William was because of their clothes.


    As the wives of CEOs and Presidents, they had to wear fanciful clothing. Bespoke wear perfectly fits


    their requirements.


    They would not have to worry about meeting someone else with the same clothing.


    And they could even request for matching sets to match with their husband’s suits.


    Xia Zhenyu did not show anything else but a smile for greeting Lin Xinyan despite the fact that Lin


    Xinyan was involved in causing her family troubles. After all, this was a public ce.


    Lin Xinyan was not familiar with her. It was only because of He Ruize that she knew about her.


    She returned a smile to her.


    In a corner, Shen Xiuqing was holding a broom as she red at Lin Xinyan. Her daughter was missing


    and she had suffered in prison while Lin Xinyan was enjoying her life here.


    At this moment, a man walked in. Instead of looking energetic, the man looked tired. The suit on him


    wrinkled with his slumped back.


    When she saw the man who came in, Shen Xiuqing opened her mouth and was about to call him.


    However, she remembered his heartlessness, and she closed her mouth.


    “Yan.” He walked towards Lin Xinyan.


    Lin Xinyan’s expression darkened. Why was he here?


    “It’s your shop opening, I’d definitelye to support you.” His voice was soft. He had seen the cars


    outside and knew that there were many rich and powerful guests today.


    He could not really be considered as her supporter.


    “No need, please go back.” Lin Xinyan rejected.


    She did not want to hold him ountable for the past, but neither did she want to forgive him.


    Lin Guoan did not leave nor give up because of Lin Xinyan’s words. After that incident six years ago,


    he finally realized who was good to him.


    The daughter that he loved had run off with the money when the times were difficult, and he had to take


    care of the mess that she left behind.


    “Yan, dad wants to thank you.”


    Lin Xinyan frowned. “Thank me for what?”


    “Six years ago, thepany had troubles. If Zong Jinghao was not there to help me, I wouldn’t be here


    now.”


    What?


    The troubles in thepany six years ago were dealt with by Zong Jinghao?


    “I was curious why he had helped me back then, and he told me it was because of you.”


    Lin Xinyan understood even less after his words. Why did Zong Jinghao do this?


    Suddenly, she recalled that there was a pregnant woman who wanted tomit suicide. She had told


    her that she would give her money to her.


    Did it look like she had wanted Lin Guoan to be fine in Zong Jinghao’s eyes?


    She had only wanted the pregnant woman to not be in danger. She was pregnant at that time, so she


    had not wanted terrible things to happen to the other pregnant woman.


    Zong Jinghao had given her the money and then requested for a divorceter. She had then left


    Country Z. Out of Country Z, she did not know what happened in the country and how thepany


    troubles were resolved.

    “I think he loves you a lot, or else he would not help me because of you.” It was because of this that Lin


    Guoan had locked himself in the house without drinking or eating for a day. It was not because he was


    touched, but because he was frustrated. If he had not been so estranged from Lin Xinyan, the Lin


    family might have been richer and more powerful.


    When he coincidentally saw Zhuang Zijin with the two children thest time, he had decided to chase


    after Zhuang Zijin again to get Lin Xinyan’s forgiveness.


    Lin Xinyan had given birth to two cute children for Zong Jinghao, so he must have been good to Lin


    Xinyan.


    It would look great for him if he was publicly known as Zong Jinghao’s father-inw.


    If Lin Xinyan had no worth, he might not be as humble and eager to please her as he is right now.


    It was not easy to change a person’s personality.


    Lin Xinyan had not thought that Zong Jinghao would care about Lin Guoan after she left.


    Was it really because of her that he had done this?


    “I won’t be in your way. I’ll look for somewhere quiet and stay there. The more people there are, the


    merrier it looks. You can just treat me as someone to fill in the space here.” Lin Guoan was afraid that


    Lin Xinyan would chase him out. So he quickly retreated to a quiet ce to stay.


    Lin Xinyan did not bother with him any further. If he wanted to stay, then he would stay.


    She still would not forgive him so easily.


    The hurt that he had brought to her and Zhuang Zijin was an unerasable mark. Every time she thought


    about it, it still hurts.


    Shen Xiuqing was furious. Her face had lost its lustrous look in prison, and her eyes were ring hard


    as if her eyeballs were going to pop out of their sockets. She looked terrifying.


    She had never seen Lin Guoan as humble and as eager to please someone, but he was doing it now.


    And it was to please Lin Xinyan.


    She could not ept his change. She could not ept her downfall. All of these were because of Lin


    Xinyan’s return.


    Go to hell! Go to hell!


    She threw away the broom and walked towards Lin Xinyan. When she was near Lin Xinyan, she took


    out the hidden knife that she had brought.


    “Lin Xinyan, go to hell!”


    “Careful.”


    Lin Xinyan turned around to find a woman who looked like a demon from hell stabbing a knife towards


    her heart—
