Stealing Your Heart

“Ms. Chen, you must be joking. How can an outsider understand the relationship that does not concern them? Furthermore, you’re not a telepath who can understand the thoughts of others’ minds. Also, Ms. Chen, you’re the focus of this meal.” Lin Xinyan smiled as she easily changed the topic back.

With a smile that did not reach her eyes, Chen Shihan replied, “How am I the focus? Aren’t you the focus?”

Lin Xinyan slowly swallowed the food in her mouth before answering, “Jinghao and I are husband and wife. This man is our uncle, and we’re a family. Only Ms. Chen is a guest here. Aren’t I right?”

Chen Shihan dropped her smile.

Pretending not to notice it, Lin Xinyan continued, “The guest is the most important person in a house. So, Ms. Chen, you’re the focus of today.”

Lin Xinyan was no ruthless woman, but she would not take provoking words silently.

She had known this years ago—the weaker you were, the more others would push their luck with you.

The moment Chen Shihan entered the house, she had been sowing discord between Zong Jinghao and her.

She did not know when the hotel meeting that Chen Shihan mentioned had happened.

At the same time, she was anxious and uncertain.

However, she knew that if she let those emotions show, others would suspect her relationship with Zong Jinghao.

She was more than willing to ask Zong Jinghao about it privately.

She would never question him and show her suspicion while others were around.

Chen Shihan’s expression darkened before her face paled. It was an ugly look on her.

In the end, she jumped to her feet. “What a silver tongue you have!”

Lin Xinyan’s smile remained bright on her face. “Thank you for the praise, Ms. Chen. I was just stating a fact. Why are you angry?”

“Uncle Wen, I’m done.” At that, Chen Shihan grabbed her purse and rushed out of the room.

She felt that Lin Xinyan had embarrassed her.

If she stayed, she would only become a laughingstock for the others.

She had never been in less control than now.

Wen Qing’s expression darkened. “She’s my guest. Why were you sarcastic with her?”

Lin Xinyan opened her mouth to say something, but Zong Jinghao grabbed her hand. “Wait for me in the car.”

He wanted to have some words with Wen Qing.
