Chapter 39: Chapter 39 The Skilled New Love
Lin Xu said she had friends at Xie’s, but actually, it was a lie; she did this just to deceive Wen Li.
As for the so-called leaker’s information, it was nothing but a blank sheet of paper. She had arranged with a courier to deliver it to the villa at a scheduled time, only to expose Wen Li’s flaws.
Fishing law enforcement.
Let her steal the document and then catch her red-handed.
In this way, even without evidence, she could make Ji Tingyang see her true colors.
However, Lin Xu had not expected Ji Tingyang to return early, and she hadn’t even started the rest of her plan yet.
She also did not expect that Wen Li, in her panic, would push Ji Tingyang into the swimming pool. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
When Lin Xu found out, her mind went blank for a moment, and the fear of losing a loved one again swept over her. Without the slightest consideration of whether Ji Tingyang could swim or not, she dashed out impulsively.
Ji Tingyang indeed knew how to swim, but the sudden drowning caught him off guard, and he couldn’t react before the water rushed frantically into his nostrils.
After Lin Xu pulled Ji Tingyang to shore, she felt a surge of fright, grateful she had rushed over.
It seemed like Wen Li had just realized what she had done, her eyes brimming with tears and fear, and she sobbed intermittently.
Lin Xu couldn’t hold back and slapped her across the face, “If anything happens to Ji Tingyang, I’ll make sure you pay the price!”
Hospital, the doctor was talking to her about the examination results.
Ji Tingyang hadn’t been underwater for long, so there were no serious issues, and he could be discharged after waking up.
Lin Xu let out a sigh of relief, regretting that she hadn’t been meticulous enough, and wondered if Ji Tingyang had awoken yet.
Her mind occupied with thoughts of her son in the hospital room, she became oblivious to the doctor reiterating any precautions, clearly distracted.
“Miss Lin? Miss Lin?” The doctor called out to her a few times, “Did you remember everything I just said?”
Lin Xu was silent for a moment: “…Could you please repeat it?”
Doctor: “…”
After chatting with the doctor for about fifteen minutes, Lin Xu returned to the ward, and her first glance was at Ji Tingyang on the hospital bed.
Her face brightened with joy.
“You’re finally awake! How do you feel, is there anywhere that’s uncomfortable?” Lin Xu quickly approached, asking a flurry of questions.
Upon seeing Lin Xu, Ji Tingyang’s expressionless face suddenly lit up with a hint of pleasure, and a bit of brightness entered his eyes as he looked at her.
“I’m fine.” His voice was still hoarse from the drowning.
“Your voice is so hoarse, and yet you say you’re fine!” Lin Xu gave him a cup of water to soothe his throat.
Ji Tingyang obediently took the cup.
After confirming there were no other issues with his health, Lin Xu felt the weight in her heart drop. She lifted her eyes to look at the IV drip beside him, only to realize that Wen Li was also here.
Her face displayed undisguised displeasure, “Why are you here?”
Wen Li trembled, her eyes reddening again: “I was worried about Ji Tingyang and came to see him…”
“Thanks to you, he’s not dead yet, you must be so disappointed, right?” Lin Xu said coldly.
“No, it wasn’t on purpose, I didn’t mean it…” Wen Li’s eyes welled up with tears as she repeatedly mumbled apologies.
“Whether it was intentional or not, move out of the Ji Family’s house tonight!” Lin Xu’s face darkened, her stern gaze chilling like shards of ice.
Who knows if next time she would, while crying, say “it wasn’t on purpose,” and then do something dangerous again.
Lin Xu didn’t want to let her stay by Ji Tingyang any longer.
Lin Xu was usually gentle, her eyes often carrying a smile, and even when she occasionally got angry, she could be calmed with a little bit of coaxing.
The anger she displayed now, even Ji Tingyang had never seen before in his memory.
Move out of the Ji Family’s house?
This was what Wen Li had always hoped for. Since the day Ji Tingyang had confined her in the villa, she had never ceased to yearn for it.
Now, at last, she was about to realize her departure, but the way she was leaving was entirely different from what she had imagined.
She wanted to leave honorably and openly, not be chased away in disgrace because she had accidentally made a mistake.
What would others think of her if they found out?
Wen Li looked helplessly at Ji Tingyang, hoping he would speak up for her. After all, Ji Tingyang was the master of the Ji Family, as long as he disapproved, no matter what Lin Xu said, she wouldn’t have to move out.
Ji Tingyang received Wen Li’s pleading gaze, his thin lips parted slightly, “I…”
He had barely uttered a word when he was met with Lin Xu’s sharp glare.
“Shut your mouth! Your throat is so hoarse, what are you talking about!” she glared at Ji Tingyang fiercely.
She was seething inside.
This foolish lad was nearly killed by Wen Li, and he still wanted to speak for her.
She couldn’t help but recall the ending she had witnessed before, where Ji Tingyang was locked up in jail, yet he still couldn’t stop thinking about someone.
What an idiot!
Ji Tingyang was yelled at and stunned for a moment, holding the cup Lin Xu had just given him, blinking innocently.
“Don’t speak. Just nod or shake your head when I ask you something,” Lin Xu said irritably, “I want Wen Li to move out of the Ji family now, do you agree or not?”
She stared at Ji Tingyang, her chest heaving violently, her hand beside her clenched into a fist, as if she would strangle him right there if he dared to shake his head.
Under both of their gazes, Ji Tingyang nodded in agreement.
He actually agreed?!
Both Lin Xu and Wen Li were shocked.
Was it because Ji Tingyang was angry with her? Wen Li’s breathing hitched.
As for Lin Xu, she didn’t care why, as long as he agreed.
As if he was worried she had not seen clearly, Ji Tingyang reached out, tugged at her clothes to draw her attention, and then nodded again.
The rage in Lin Xu’s heart dissipated in an instant, and a smile bloomed again on her face, her hand gently caressed his head, and she gave it a nice rub, “Good boy.”
A faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared on Ji Tingyang’s lips.
Unlike Wen Li’s feeling just now, he nonchalantly rubbed Lin Xu’s palm.
This time it was warm.

Afternoon.
Lin Xu had completed the discharge procedures for Ji Tingyang, and upon returning to the villa, she instructed the nanny to pack up Wen Li’s belongings and send her back to school.
“Miss Lin, what is this?” the butler came over, puzzled.
“Wen Li is moving out, and her access to the villa is also being revoked,” Lin Xu said.
Surprised, the butler instinctively looked at Ji Tingyang.
Didn’t Young Master Ji like Lady Wen very much, could he agree?
To the butler’s surprise, not only did Ji Tingyang agree, but he was also obedient to whatever Lin Xu said.
Ji Tingyang had previously given many clothes and jewels to Wen Li, but she wanted none of that, so her belongings at the Ji Family’s were not much, it took less than an hour to pack.
The nanny unfeelingly threw her luggage onto the car, then just as unfeelingly stuffed the sobbing Wen Li into the vehicle, driving off from the villa.
Where there are many people, there will be gossip, especially since so many servants had witnessed Lin Xu evicting Wen Li.
In less than a day, rumors spread throughout the circle.
The new darling by Ji Tingyang’s side had impressive tactics, casting away the favored canary and securing her own position.
