After dinner, when Xu Ke was about to wash the dishes, Li Pingyu stopped her, “Let Lin Yao do it. I need to discuss something with you.” Lin Yao cleared the table and went to the kitchen, her face gloomy for some unknown reason. Li Pingyu sighed deeply, looking at Xu Ke, “Xiao Ke, I’m sorry, Lin Yao did something wrong, and I don’t even know how to tell you.” Xu Ke was stunned. Lin Ge silently got up, went to the bedroom, and returned with a contract in hand. His expression was awkward, as if he wanted to say something but couldn’t bring himself to, handing the contract to Xu Ke with a mixture of embarrassment and unease.
Xu Ke felt an inexplicable tension, a bad premonition. When she saw the buyer’s name on the contract, she could hardly believe her eyes. Lin Yao. Her mind went blank with rage. Even if Lin Yao had written Lin Ge’s name as the buyer, she wouldn’t have been this angry. What did this house have to do with Lin Yao? How could she do such a thing? Over the past two years, Xu Ke had endured many things, but today, Lin Yao had truly gone too far. All the contracts were properly signed, just one step away from paying by card. Xu Ke never imagined Lin Yao would do something like this. Although Lin Yao had always been frugal, Xu Ke never thought she had a character flaw, always believing she wasn’t a bad person with some sense of morality and principles. Thus, she never guarded against her, still trying to treat her like family and tolerate her as much as possible.
