Unrecognized Love and Hatred: The Most Stirring Heart -
Winter, 2018.
The Lin Corporation went bankrupt, and Harbor Citys financial giant, Chufeng Lin, leaped from the top floor of the Lin Corporation building. The once most talked-about richest family in Harbor City, the Lin family, fell overnight.
In the vast Lin residence, the servants were busy packing up and leaving, everyone in chaos, except for the woman in a white wedding dress.
She is Chufeng Lins daughter鈥擰ingxue Lin.
Once the most esteemed woman in Harbor City, the Lin familys precious pearl, she is now nothing more than a homeless stray.
Her home is gone, destroyed by the man she cant forget.
"Miss, come with us, will you? The court will seize the property tomorrow," said one of the servants.
"Why are you even persuading her? If it werent for her entanglement with Yuan Yu, helping him escape abroad, how could the Lin family have ended up in this situation! She caused her own father to jump off a building, and she still has the face to live in this world. Shameless!" another servant sneered.
Qingxue Lin seemed not to hear their contempt and ridicule. She, dressed in a pure white wedding gown, gently held the pendant of the jade amulet at her chest.
"You once said you would marry me on my twentieth birthday," she whispered, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.
"You didnt keep your promise."
In the biting cold of winter, she stood by the sea in her thin wedding dress, the sea breeze piercing to the bone.
On the huge LED screen of a distant building, Yuan Yu, who had returned in glory, appeared with his Chinese fianc茅e, Zixing Yi, the daughter of the French KuboTech CEO.
Qingxue Lin knew this woman.
It was she who helped Yuan Yu destroy the Lin Corporation.
Qingxue Lin pulled off the jade amulet from her chest, slowly loosened her hand, and let the amulet fall into the soft sea sand, stained with dust.
"You didnt keep your promise, and I wont wait anymore."
Qingxue Lin closed her eyes, two streams of tears slowly falling down her cheeks. Barefoot, she stepped into the cold seawater.
On December 17th, two days after the Lin familys bankruptcy, the Lin familys daughter committed suicide by throwing herself into the sea. The news occupied a small corner in the Harbor City tabloids, and people only sighed about her short life over tea and dinner, with no further ripples.
As for the biggest gossip focus in Harbor City, it was naturally Yuan Yu, who replaced the Lin family as the new elite in Harbor City.
After taking over the nearly bankrupt Lin Corporation, he bought back at a high price the old Yu family residence that had been sold years ago.
In the recovered Yu family backyard, a woman with a high fever lay there, unresponsive.
Her face was flushed, her brows tightly furrowed, as if trapped by some terrible nightmare.
In her drowsy consciousness, Qingxue Lin seemed to return to a distant past.
At the school celebration dance, the lights dimmed, and a beam of white light shone, illuminating the girl in a white lace short skirt and an exquisite tiara, dancing gracefully on the stage like an elegant and beautiful swan on the lake.
After the dance, she received countless applause and admiring glances.
In the front row, a tall, delicately featured young man looked at the girl on the stage with undisguised possessiveness in his eyes.
The scene shifted to the Yu familys misfortune, the young mans home destroyed and family lost.
At the airport, she, with red eyes, saw him off from Harbor City.
"Your father wants to cut the grass and eliminate the roots, but you help me escape?" The young mans once affectionate eyes now only held cold anger.
Qingxue Lin felt a deep sorrow: "I cant stop my fathers mistakes, you should go!"
"You let me go today, I will come back and take revenge on your father and the Lin family," his gaze was resolute.
"Yuan Yu, dont be like this..."
The girls outstretched hand could never catch his sleeve again, and Yuan Yu turned around and left without any hesitation.
The scene was filled with overflowing blood, she saw her father lying on the ground, convulsing in pain, blood flowing all over the floor.
He said: "This... is the retribution for letting him go!"
Qingxue Lins chest ached terribly, and she suddenly opened her eyes.
"Ah? Shes awake! Go tell the young master, shes awake!"
