My mother-in-law is remarrying and wants my family's assets as dowry. Die!

You agreed without Yan Ran's hesitation.

She didn't know Lin Jun's true plan, otherwise she would definitely have hesitated.

If Ding Yuxin eventually finds out she's been deceived, the first person she'll hold accountable is Yan Ran.

Lin Jun's last words seemed unremarkable to Yan Ran; they were just a typical personal attack.

But in reality, it struck right at Ding Yuxin's heart.

As a second-generation rich kid, Ding Yuxin's biggest fear is being attacked as a rich kid who lacks ability.

Therefore, Lin Jun's words will definitely help her form a firm belief in her mind that Lin Jun sincerely wants to cooperate with her.

Even Ding Yuxin's hesitation annoyed Lin Jun.

Once Ding Yuxin formed this conviction in her mind, she would no longer repeatedly test Lin Jun.

Lin Jun would then have less leverage over Ding Yuxin.

When everything settles down tomorrow and the two of them completely fall out, Lin Jun will be able to handle the situation more calmly.

Of course, at that time, Yan Ran would definitely become Ding Yuxin's punching bag!

Yan Ran, of course, couldn't see through these schemes at the moment.

In front of Lin Jun, she made a phone call to Ding Yuxin as Lin Jun had instructed.

After receiving the call, Ding Yuxin was initially furious, thinking that Lin Jun, that bastard, was cursing her behind her back again.

But soon I felt happy.

Although Yan Ran overheard those words cursing Ding Yuxin, they also revealed Lin Jun's true desire to cooperate with Ding Yuxin.

It seems I don't need to be so suspicious anymore, and I feel more certain now.

Thinking of this, Ding Yuxin couldn't hide her smile.

Once this matter is settled, no one will attack her anymore for being just a rich second-generation.

After making the call, Yan Ran asked Lin Jun if she could leave.

Lin Jun then added, "Remember what I just told you: if you don't plan to leave, I can offer you a more respectable and higher-paying job."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin. I will definitely consider it seriously," Yan Ran said before leaving.

The reason Lin Jun made this promise to Yan Ran was mainly so that Yan Ran wouldn't feel like she had stepped into an empty shell after learning the whole truth.

You have to give a desperate person a lifeline so they won't cling to anything indiscriminately.

As Yan Ran left Lin Jun's office, her heart began to stir with unease.

She had a hunch that tomorrow's auction would be much more than just an auction.

There must be a lot of scheming involved, and you'll definitely offend a lot of people.

So, is there anyone who would take revenge on you?

He needed to find a way out, so he simply took the 1000 million yuan and went abroad.

She quickly dismissed the idea. The money seemed like a lot, but if she went abroad and relied entirely on it, she wouldn't be able to live a decent life, and the money would likely be spent very quickly.

Fortunately, Lin Jun had just made a promise to me that he could give me a higher-paying and more respectable job.

Besides, by staying by Lin Jun's side, he could have a powerful backer and find a protective umbrella for himself.

This is the significance of the promise Lin Jun just made: it temporarily stabilized Yan Ran's morale and prevented the woman from panicking and making mistakes.

Yan Ran had just left Lin Jun's office when Fang Shu returned.

Fang Shu looked at Lin Jun and smiled, "I noticed your secretary didn't look too happy outside just now. Did she realize something?"

Lin Jun nodded gently: "That's for sure, but I also reassured her that there shouldn't be any trouble for the time being."

Fang Shu asked, "Is there anything you need me to do? If it's something I can do, just let me know. Don't be shy, my little husband!"

Lin Jun laughed and slapped her: "I didn't ask you to deliberately emphasize the word 'little' in front of me!"

Fang Shu teased her with a playful laugh, "You're really hard to please. If I say you're old, you disagree; if I say you're young, you're not happy either."

Lin Jun asked with a mischievous grin, "You really think I'm young?"

Fang Shu burst into laughter: "Not too small, not too small, that's good enough, and it's quite big!"

After joking around for a while, Lin Jun's smile gradually faded: "There shouldn't be any problems with Ding Yuxin for the time being, but I wonder how that old fox Zhu Dongyuan will play his cards?"

Fang Shu leaned on Lin Jun's shoulder: "No matter how he plays his cards, he's bound to attend the auction tomorrow. Once he attends, he won't escape your scheme. I'm very confident about that!"

Lin Jun himself is quite confident about this.

But Lin Jun had another worry: would Li Dong and Yu Qingqiu attend the auction?

If they attend the auction, will they contact Zhu Dongyuan and help Wu Yun find the evidence he wants?

Too many things are filled with uncertainty.

Lin Jun still felt a bit of a headache after thinking about it, but there was nothing he could completely control over these matters.

Now we can only take it one step at a time!

Seeing Lin Jun's somewhat troubled expression, Fang Shu gently massaged Lin Jun's temples.

"Don't overthink it. Many things can't be accomplished overnight, and many things need to be left to their own devices. Maybe we can't solve all the problems at once, but I believe you'll be the ultimate winner!" Fang Shu comforted Lin Jun. "At least tomorrow you can tear a chunk out of Zhu Dongyuan and give Ding Yuxin a good beating!"

Lin Jun laughed: "You see things very clearly!"

Fang Shu continued, "Don't worry, I'm firmly on your side. Tomorrow, I'll be your gun; you tell me who to shoot, and I'll shoot them!"

Lin Jun laughed loudly, "Then I wouldn't be willing to part with it!"

Lin Jun was speaking from the heart. He couldn't bear to let anything happen to him. If he missed this woman, given his suspicious nature, he might never lack women in his life, but he would never have a wife again!

At this moment.

Li Dong's anxiety had reached its peak.

He waited anxiously in the hospital room for Zhang Duo's call.

But no news came through. Had the assassin made a move?

Is Lin Jun still alive?

The auction is tomorrow, if it goes smoothly and the contracts are signed.

Li Dong was about to end up with nothing, becoming a discarded pawn.

Most importantly, he even married Yu Qingqiu, which is like winning over his mother but losing his army!

Seeing Li Dong's anxiety, Yu Qingqiu comforted him with heartache, "Darling, don't worry too much. The assassin hasn't made a move yet because he wants to strike decisively. Let's wait patiently a little longer!"

Li Dong wanted to get angry, but he held back and forced a smile: "Baby, you're right. I was indeed too impatient. Let's wait patiently a little longer; maybe good news will come soon!"
