Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

Having spent so much time with Chi Junlin, Hui Zhilan naturally understood his meaning.

She thought that at this moment, it would be more effective for an outsider like Chi Junlin to offer comfort.

So she said to her daughter, "How about you go find your older sister, Anan? Mother has something to discuss with Miss Lin Jun."

The girl hesitated for a moment, but after spending the past few days with Hui Zhilan, she had become very close to both Hui Zhilan and her daughter.

So he nodded and was led outside by Hui Zhilan.

Chi Junlin and Hui Zhilan exchanged glances, and Hui Zhilan gave a slight signal, indicating that she wanted Chi Junlin to help comfort her younger sister.

Upon seeing this, Chi Junlin showed a knowing expression and nodded seriously.

They both understood what the other meant, and they were both relieved.

Then Hui Zhilan left with Hui Sanmei's daughter.

After the two left, Chi Junlin sat down in front of Hui Sanmei.

Seeing this, Hui Sanmei composed herself.

She forced a smile and asked Chi Junlin, "Miss Lin Jun, is there anything else?"

Chi Junlin looked at her and said, "Nothing special, I just chatted with Master Hui for a while. He said that starting tomorrow, we will strengthen security in the mansion and send more people to patrol the mansion."

I thought I should inform Madam about this, so I came over.

Upon hearing this, Hui Sanmei nodded to Chi Junlin and said, "I understand."

Seeing that the tear stains on her face had not yet faded, Chi Junlin thought for a moment and then said, "Madam, there is no need to be so sad. Lai Yuanwei was just such a scoundrel, and his current fate is entirely his own fault."

Upon hearing this, Hui Sanmei sighed and said, "How could I not know? But no matter what, he is still his daughter's father."

And to think that after all these years, my sincere heart has been rewarded with this ending... it's truly...

I was so blind, and I blame myself for meeting the wrong person..."

Hearing Hui Sanmei say this, Chi Junlin couldn't help but show a helpless expression and sigh.

He then added, "Actually, from another perspective, this is a good thing."

After all, from now on, without Lai Yuanwei, the lady will be free of this scourge.

After that, the lady no longer had to pay off his troublesome gambling debts, nor did she have to worry about her daughter being influenced astray.

Hearing Chi Junlin's words of comfort, Hui Sanmei felt that what she said was true and breathed a sigh of relief.

Without realizing it, I felt much more relaxed and less uncomfortable than before.

Seeing that his words of comfort had been effective, Chi Junlin continued with a smile, "Madam, you still need to cheer up quickly, after all, the entire Hui family depends on you."

"Without you for even a day, I don't think the men in the household would know what to do."

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's words, Hui Sanmei couldn't help but laugh and say, "How could it be such an exaggeration? I am just an ordinary woman in the Hui family. The Hui family will continue to function as usual without me."

Chi Junlin then laughed and said, "Madam is an experienced accountant. Others might not be able to manage the clan's businesses so well."

Hui Sanmei smiled, her face slightly dazed, and said softly, "Yes... In the blink of an eye, I have been managing the accounts for the Hui family for more than ten years."

Anan is now over eleven years old.

I'm already twenty-eight...

Chapter 263 is about transcendent friends.

Upon hearing Hui Sanmei's words, Chi Junlin deliberately feigned surprise.

Then he said, "Madam is already twenty-eight years old?"

Hui Sanmei, not understanding her meaning, looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chi Junlin looked at her face and said, "I thought you were a young and beautiful girl under twenty!"

When Hui Sanmei heard her say this, she realized that Chi Junlin had done it on purpose.

So she couldn't help but laugh and said, "My daughter is already eleven years old, how could she still be a young girl? Miss Lin Jun, please don't make fun of me. You are the one who is truly in the prime of your life."

Seeing her smile through her tears, Chi Junlin smiled gently and said, "This is how a wife should be. Smile more. Smiling makes you look younger and more beautiful."

Hui Sanmei felt a little ashamed when she heard her sincere and emotional words.

After all, she had been a wife for many years and had never heard anyone say such sweet words to her before.

Her cheeks felt hot, and when she raised her hand, she touched the tear stains on her face.

I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

So she picked up a handkerchief, wet it with water, and began to wipe away the tears on her face.

Seeing this, Chi Junlin sat closer and said to Hui Sanmei, "Let me help Madam."

Hui Sanmei hesitated for a moment, then nodded and handed the handkerchief to Chi Junlin.

Chi Junlin slowly raised his hand, moving even closer to Hui Sanmei.

The two could hear each other breathing, and Hui Sanmei was slightly embarrassed.

But she still raised her pretty face and let Chi Junlin wipe away the tears on her face.

Chi Junlin could faintly smell the delicate fragrance emanating from Hui Sanmei.

The fragrance is so real, just like the scent of herbs.

Now Chi Junlin could truly confirm that the women of the Hui clan might indeed possess a natural body fragrance due to their physical condition.

Looking at Hui Sanmei again, her eyes were red and her brows were delicate and charming; she was indeed a sight to behold.

Chi Junlin felt a pang of pity, thinking about Hui Zhilan's earlier suggestion.

Then he understood that Hui Zhilan meant that her younger sister was lonely and had never understood what love was for many years.

Therefore, he wanted Chi Junlin to help Hui Sanmei free herself from her lonely state of mind!

Let her understand what true love is!

Thinking of this, Chi Junlin felt an inescapable sense of mission!

She will surely live up to her mission and bring Hui Sanmei out of the abyss of loneliness!

At this moment, Hui Sanmei did not notice the change in Chi Junlin's expression.

She turned her face away simply out of shyness.

The two were now very close, allowing Hui Sanmei to smell the scent emanating from Chi Junlin.

The flavor is quite unique, like the fresh scent of grass with a hint of iron and rust. It's rich, yet incredibly comforting.

Hui Sanmei has a very sensitive sense of smell and has never smelled a similar scent on anyone else.

This gave her the feeling that Crimson Ruler was special in itself.

Unlike everyone else.

But at this moment, Hui Sanmei thought of something else.

Unable to resist, he asked, "Miss Lin Jun, may I ask you a question?"

"what?"

"So... what exactly is your relationship with my sister?"

This question had been weighing on Hui Sanmei's mind for far too long, because she had seen Chi Junlin and Hui Zhilan being close and intimate more than once.

Furthermore, Hui Sanmei also knew her older sister very well.

She knew that there must be some secret relationship between Hui Zhilan and Chi Junlin.

Because the way Hui Zhilan looked at Chi Junlin was different from how she looked at others.

It was a very subtle feeling, tender yet deeply moving.

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin smiled and said to Hui Sanmei, "Hui Zhilan and I have a purely platonic friendship. We talk about almost everything..."

Hui Sanmei was slightly dissatisfied upon hearing Chi Junlin's perfunctory reply.

So he said, "Miss Lin Jun, don't lie to me. I can tell that you should... should..."

She didn't know how to describe what followed.

It seems that the relationship between women cannot be described simply as one of mutual affection.

Chi Junlin smiled and continued, "I didn't lie to you. She and I are really just friends. However, my understanding of friendship is a little different from yours."

Hmm... perhaps from your perspective, my relationship with Zhilan should be considered something beyond mere friendship.

Hui Sanmei was a little puzzled, so she asked, "Beyond friendship... what does that mean?"

Chi Junlin then explained, "Well... if I said that I helped Hui Zhilan get out of the inner shadow left by Di Cangshan, so she trusts me extremely—would you understand?"

After listening, Hui Sanmei nodded as if she understood but not quite.

I feel a little bit of empathy for them.

Just like how she's currently trapped in the psychological trauma left by Lai Yuanwei, if someone could help her get out of that situation, she would probably...

So Hui Sanmei subconsciously asked, "How did you..."

Do you need my help?

Chi Junlin seemed to have anticipated the question Hui Sanmei would ask, so he asked it directly.

Hui Sanmei nodded with some doubt.

Because she was indeed puzzled as to how Hui Zhilan had been saved by the woman in front of her.

Chi Junlin then laughed and said, "Actually, the way to get over a relationship is very simple."

That is, to start a new relationship.

Hui Sanmei frowned and said, "The other relationship refers to..."

"Any kind of feeling is fine; it can be friendship, love, or even family affection."

Once you've fully committed yourself to another relationship, the pain left by the previous one will become numb, or even be forgotten immediately.

Hui Zhilan...it was always like this."

Hui Sanmei felt that she hadn't fully grasped it, but she understood it somewhat.

So he nodded.

Chi Junlin glanced at her, then took one of her hands and placed it in his own palm.

"So, do you want to experience a completely new relationship to forget the pain in your heart?"

"How...do it?"

Chi Junlin smiled and continued, "Want to know how Hui Zhilan did it?"

How was she?

Chi Junlin leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "She kissed me."

Hui Sanmei seemed surprised upon hearing this.

I never expected that Chi Junlin would utter such bold words.

But Chi Junlin's expression was extremely sincere, as if he were talking about something very ordinary, as simple as asking her if she wanted a piece of candy.

Hui Sanmei hesitated for a moment, her mind a jumble of emotions.

But I really want to get rid of that feeling of being covered in wounds.

Seeing Chi Junlin's sincere gaze, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Upon seeing this, Chi Junlin's smile widened.

She thought to herself that she had indeed lived up to her mission.

Hui Zhilan asked her to do it, and she did it so easily.

Chapter 264 Still Wanting More

Women are, after all, emotional creatures.

Sometimes, we think not with wisdom, but with emotion.

Just like now, even someone as intelligent as Hui Sanmei, influenced by the atmosphere and emotions, didn't realize that there was anything wrong with Chi Junlin's words.
