My Husband Is The Emperor: I Woke Up With A Husband - Volume 1 Chapter 414 395

A/N: sorry for the late update, yesterday I really thought I could muster up one more chapter but my anesthesia didn’t wear off and my body just demanded rest from me, causing me to sleep for a full one day. Anyway, enjoy~

Li Lian responded to the woman’s words with a smile, “I say this because I feel like I could put my trust in you and that you are someone who could protect the trust others have to you.”

It wasn’t easy for Li Lian to trust in others, there were many reasons for her to trust Guanying. The first being that the woman had an honest character, and over hearing Li Jun Wei’s words about Guanying character, it only confirmed Li Lian more that the woman could be trusted. There was another stronger reason which would sound manipulative but logical to Li Lian. After she had saved Guanying, the woman felt very grateful for the bottom of her heart, and to the person who had saved her, the last thing Guanying would ever do to Li Lian was to betray her.

Guanying felt thrilled that she had received Li Lian’s trust. “I have to say honestly, Li Lian. For the past few years, I never had a close friend to share my worries to. But when I talk to you, there is a feeling in me that we would be a close friend. You remind me of myself in a sense which makes me feel comfortable.”

“How strange,” Li Lian commented, receiving Guanying’s confused expression. With a smile, she continued, “I had similar feeling when I saw you.”

There was no single stroke of lies when Guanying stated her feeling of how much she wished to be Li Lian’s friends. She wanted to know more about Li Lian, therefore her curiosity lingered toward Xie Hue Lin, carefully so not to be intrusive, she questioned, “Was there a fight between you and Miss Xie?” Somewhere it felt strange to Guanying herself to use the word ‘younger sister’ to speak about Xie Hue Lin because it didn’t feel like she suited the word, and chose to stick with ‘miss’.

“At first I thought of her as my younger sister, but I soon discover that it was only me who had thought that way,” Li Lian watched Guanying, who was very attentive to listen to her words. When Li Lian placed the teacup down at the same time the waiter came to settle the dishes on the table. Once the waiter left Li Lian spoke, “Do you want to hear about it? It won’t be pleasing to hear during the meal, but if you are curious I can tell you.”

Guanying was determined to know more, “I wish to listen if it is alright with you.”

Li Lian smiled again and parting her lips, she begin the story which had always been painted the wrong way by Xie Hue Lin and the people around her.

Meanwhile, on another building, Jin Nu Yuan stepped anxiously inside the large hotel which belong to Li Corporation. She was sitting on a large window on the lounge which helped her to see the cars that were about to enter the building. Upon seeing her motherentering the hotel, Jin Nu Yuan jumped to her feet and quickly makes her way toward Mrs. Jin.

“Mom!” called Jin Nu Yuan, walking toward her mother, her eyes then fell on the woman who stood beside Mrs. Jin stiffly and her expression twisted in anger. It was Zi Lingyu. Jin Nu Yuan didn’t particularly hate Zi Lingyu. It was the makeup that Mrs. Jin forced Zi Lingyu to wear which makes her silhouette similar to Li Lian’s even if their appearance were clearly different. But if one had an illness that made their eyes blurry, Zi Lingyu would look nothing less than Li Lian.

“Why did you bring her here?” asked Jin Nu Yuan sharply, she didn’t welcome anyone who look like Li Lian. Just a sight of Zi Lingyu boiled her hatred.

“Because she is important,” Mrs. Jin said, looking at her daughter who was very childish with a sigh, “Haven’t I told you not to gather attention. What you are doing now is the opposite to what I have warned you.”

Jin Nu Yuan looked left and right, “The place is empty, so it’s fine! Anyway, you said that you have plan for Cousin Jun Wei, what’s the plan? Why do you need the hotel and why her? I thought you were working to separate Jun Wei and that woman, but they were going to get divorce soon, so what’s the need for this plan?”

“Shush,” Mrs. Jin cut Jin Nu Yuan’s hurried question that came one after another, making her feel dizzy, “You don’t need to know the details. It is true that Jun Wei and Li Lian is having a divorce but there is still hesitation in him.”

Seeing that her mother had walked toward the couch, Jin Nu Yuan sent one petty glare toward Zi Lingyu who tailed them noiselessly and went to follow her mother. She wondered why her mother had called her early this morning, saying there was important thing she had to do and brought her here. Jin Nu Yuan came in a hurry only because she learn that her mother’s goal was to separate Li Lian which Jin Nu Yuan could hardly wait to see.

At first, Jin Nu Yuan didn’t care much who Li Jun Wei married of, Mrs. Jin made plans for the person who marry Li Jun Wei to be a person who was on their side, but she couldn’t accept Li Lian who had outright embarrassed her in many occasions. Jin Nu Yuan was similar to her mother, they were people who would burn what others do to them and make sure to make the person suffer afterward in a worse fashion.

She raised on brow at her mother, wondering what her mother was trying to push when all they needed to do was wait. “What hesitation?”

“Seeing how Li Lian is still in Jun Wei’s house instead of him driving her out, there is a possibility that his heart is still attached to that woman. We need to cut their feelings cleanly so in the future we wouldn’t even see a glance of the woman,” Jin Nu Yuan slowly nodded as her mother speak, thinking that it was true. Mrs. Jin looked at Zi Lingyu who sat beside her, and when she touched her hand, Zi Lingyu’s eyes flickered in a slight shock and surprise, as though she was in fear while sitting with the two woman. “This is where you would come in handy. I have planned out everything perfectly and what we need to do is to dive for result. Sometimes there are time when we need to take risk to achieve something.”

Jin Nu Yuan couldn’t understand what risk, she couldn’t follow her mother’s words and asked, “What do you mean?” and her mother looked back at her, her smile curl higher.

“You’ll see.” was the reply coming from Mrs. Jin when her phone suddenly rang with the new call she receive.

Back to the restaurant, Guanying stared at Li Lian’s face in utter shock. The surprise was clear and she was almost flabbergasted as if she had just seen spider speaking human language, “Are you truly sisters with Miss Xie?”

Li Lian chuckled faintly at her innocent question and she responded with a nod.

“I can’t believe there would be any sister who would bully their older sister for years, stealing her fiance, and even try to defame you,” Li Lian had decided to keep the matter about Xie Hue Lin trying to kill her when telling her past to Guanying. Nevertheless, even without the sin of attempting to kill, what Xie Hue Lin did for the past years were something that only people without heart and moral would do.

“I was in an accident after that and for a year I wasn’t able to go anywhere because I fell to coma. At that time…” Li Lian sighed, she wasn’t fond of telling her past as looking back she felt heartache for herself who had been misled by the thought of love from her blood-related family when there was only one single person who loved her truly like a family who was her grandmother. “My family didn’t visit me for once, my parents, and my sister they didn’t visit me, only Jun Wei did. He waited for me throughout one whole year.” And she hadn’t told Jun Wei yet, but what he did mean world to her. She never thought there would be someone who would love her ardently and loyally like he did.

Guanying smiled slightly when hearing about Mr. Li’s name and it was because when Li Lian spoke about him, the man who was known to be ice-cold seemed to be the most perfect man one could ever have. It makes anyone who see them instead of feeling jealousy but to be filled with a fluffy warmth.

Yet when the thought of Xie Hue Lin passed by Guanying’s mind, annoyance came to her heart. “It makes me feel angry thinking about how you suffer under her. Li Lian, do you need help?”

Li Lian was slightly taken aback by her offer, “What help?”

“Like yesterday, I know fairly amount of people in the cosmetic industry. I could help to whispers words about her so she wouldn’t receive any more work from our field.”

It sounded like a good idea, but Li Lian responded with shook of her head, “Instead of that, can I ask you a little of a heavy request?”

Guanying felt unfair for Li Lian, and knowing this help was to revenge herself for what Xie Hue Lin did in the past, she quickly gave a response, “Of course. What can I help you with?”

“I want you to let Hue Lin as the model to promote new makeup from your cosmetic. Of course I won’t be doing this for free, I have a project which I wish to work with you,” Li Lian said with a smile, her eyes that were bright glimmered in a low darkness when she spoke.
