Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 944: Lin Xiang’s Fate

Chapter 944

Chapter 944: Chapter 944: Lin Xiang’s Fate
This feeling is terrifying.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Yixiu noticed what Lin Zhenyu was contemplating and asked with a frown.
Lin Zhenyu lowered her head, "I’m sorry."
She shouldn’t think optimistically, but she couldn’t help herself.
Lin Zhenyu knew about everything Zhou Yixiu did to Qi Cheng. She just felt that if Zhou Yixiu continued like this, Qi Cheng wouldn’t just let it go.
After all, even a cornered dog will jump over the wall, and a rabbit will bite when desperate, let alone Qi Cheng.
Qi Cheng had already been made miserable by Zhou Yixiu.
Zhou Yixiu didn’t say anything more to Lin Zhenyu. He always felt that women were the most difficult to communicate with in this matter, so he just walked out.
He instructed people to keep a close watch on Cheng Yanxi. At this time, Qi Cheng would definitely find various ways to look for Cheng Yanxi, and there might even be a showdown.
When Qi Cheng gets angry, he won’t care about anything.
Zhou Yixiu had to remain cautious.
Just as Qi Cheng returned to the Qi Family, Assistant Gao asked, "Do you need someone to find Ms. Cheng?"
"No need." Qi Cheng looked indifferently at the information on the tablet.
Assistant Gao initially thought Qi Cheng, in such a hurry to come back, would definitely rush to have someone find Cheng Yanxi. But he did nothing.
He was quite idle.
Unable to figure out what Qi Cheng wanted to do, Assistant Gao remained silent.
Not long after, a video call came through from Zhou Jinlian, "Qi, what made you think of contacting me?"
Zhou Jinlian changed the way he addressed Qi Cheng every time he spoke with him.
Qi Cheng looked at Zhou Jinlian without hiding that he had regained his memory, "I need your help with something."
"Whatever Qi needs me to do, just let me know. I’ll do anything I can." Zhou Jinlian was very enthusiastic in front of Qi Cheng; after all, he had reaped a lot of benefits from Qi Cheng.
After Zhou Yixiu left, he didn’t return by evening.
Lin Zhenyu sat alone at home, thinking that it was her remark about their daughter that upset him.
Then she mentioned Qi Cheng, which made him unhappy.
She really meant well for him.
She thought that besides Zhou Yixiu’s father, no one else wished more for Zhou Yixiu to be well than she did.
But Zhou Yixiu seemed never to understand her goodwill for him.
Having married such a man, she didn’t know if she was fortunate or unfortunate.
Lin Zhenyu ate dinner alone, and after spending some time with Zhou Yixiu, she had somewhat become unused to being by herself.
Clearly, she had been alone like this in the past. But now, she couldn’t seem to get used to it.
Just after finishing dinner, a call from a subordinate came through, "Madam."
"Is something wrong?" Lin Zhenyu asked.
"There’s news about the third miss, whom you’ve been asking me to find." Lin Xiang had been missing ever since that incident, and the Lin Family parents were very worried. Lin Zhenyu had been having people search, but only now was there news.
"Where is she?" The person responsible for the search was someone Lin Zhenyu trusted.
The other party provided a location, and despite being pregnant, Lin Zhenyu went to retrieve Lin Xiang.
This brat, not knowing what she’s up to, truly worried everyone to death.
The car soon arrived at a villa in the suburbs and stopped. Lin Zhenyu got out of the car and saw a subordinate alighting from another car, greeting her, "Madam."
"Lin Xiang is here?" Lin Zhenyu looked at the house in front, unsure, and asked.
The subordinate nodded, "We received information that the third miss is indeed here."
They quickly knocked on the door, and a middle-aged housekeeper, likely the villa’s maid, answered.
Seeing Lin Zhenyu, the housekeeper warily asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Lin Xiang." Lin Zhenyu replied sternly.
"There’s no such person here." The housekeeper said coldly, about to close the door.
The subordinate immediately blocked the nearly closed door, restrained the housekeeper, and led Lin Zhenyu into the villa.
Lin Zhenyu’s people soon searched the entire house thoroughly.
Standing in the luxurious living room, Lin Zhenyu surveyed the setup; the house was evidently not ordinary and affordable only by a few.
Lin Xiang was actually living here?
Quickly, news came from upstairs, "We’ve found the third miss."
"Bring her down." Lin Zhenyu instructed.
Soon, they brought a woman down.
Though she wore loose pajamas, the woman’s appearance was utterly haggard.
Lin Zhenyu’s gaze fell on this woman, and at once she recognized this emaciated woman as Lin Xiang, "Lin Xiang!"
Unexpectedly, in the time they hadn’t seen each other, Lin Xiang had turned into this.
Dark circles under her eyes were heavy, her hair was disheveled, and notably, when she saw Lin Zhenyu, her expression was bewildered, almost as if she couldn’t recognize her older sister.
Were it not for their sisterhood, Lin Zhenyu would have doubted whether this person was indeed Lin Xiang.
The housekeeper from earlier was quickly brought over by the subordinates. Lin Zhenyu asked, "How did she become like this? What did you do to her?"
The housekeeper noticed Lin Zhenyu’s imposing presence and realized she had provoked someone she shouldn’t have.
She no longer carried her previous indifference and hurriedly replied, "I don’t know. I’m just the cook; she was already like this when I got here."
"Who sent you here?" If what the servant claimed was true, Lin Xiang ending up like this was inextricably linked to the house’s owner.
The servant shook her head, indicating she had no idea.
Lin Zhenyu quickly ordered for an investigation into the house’s owner.
Her gaze returned to Lin Xiang.
Long ago, Lin Zhenyu’s greatest hope was for Lin Xiang to marry any of the Qi Family’s young masters, to become a little wife, and lead a good life.
Then, Lin Xiang was naively ambitious, always eyeing other people’s men.
First Qi Cheng, then the second brother.
If she had been more rational back then, how could she have ended up like this?
Her once radiant sister had long lost her luster, resembling a withered cabbage.
Moreover, prolonged captivity had taken a toll on her sanity.
It was clear how much she had suffered.
Lin Zhenyu sighed; regardless, she decided to take Lin Xiang back first.
She had Lin Xiang placed into a car.
The subordinate had just put Lin Xiang in the car, and before Lin Zhenyu could leave the house, someone blocked her in the living room from coming out of the yard.
Seeing the people, Lin Zhenyu was taken aback, "Who are you?"
The opposition had a lot of people, tightly blocking the entrance. Although Lin Zhenyu wasn’t afraid of confrontation, she could sense malice emanating from them.
The leading man politely said, "Our master would like to invite Madam Zhou over."
"Your master?" Lin Zhenyu said angrily, "Is it your master who made Lin Xiang like this? Very well, I was just planning to find him!"
