After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO

Chapter 314 - 312: People are like catkins in the wind, gathering and parting beyond their control!

"Minister, may we meet again." Today, Lin Jia was clad in sky-blue jeans paired with a shirt, exuding the sweetness of a ripe peach. This young girl was increasingly adopting Lin Meiqing’s grace, bewitching in every frown and smile.

She and Lin Meiqing were two completely different types of women. Lin Meiqing was a mature beauty who still possessed her charm. She was sensible and knew exactly how to provide a man with the utmost comfort and pleasure. Lin Jia, on the other hand, was untouched—a genuine treasure worth exploring by any man. Every inch of her body was priceless.

"Take care," Shen Fanyun said, pulling his thoughts back to the present.

Lin Jia’s eyes lit up. "Hehe, got it."

"Minister, you take care, too," Lin Jia smiled, then turned and dragged her luggage away.

With her back to Shen Fanyun, Lin Meiqing remained silent for a very long time. Only when Lin Jia’s silhouette had completely vanished did the beautiful woman turn around. She gave Shen Fanyun a passionate kiss. Despite the bustling crowd, Lin Meiqing didn’t care, clinging to Shen Fanyun and losing herself in the moment.

Hmm?

Shen Fanyun smiled as Lin Meiqing’s soft, slick, fragrant tongue forcefully entered his mouth. This feeling... it’s truly unforgettable. Moreover, her movements were gentle and slow, as if she were searching for something. Lost in their swirling passion, the two nearly forgot they were in a public place.

"I’m leaving," Lin Meiqing said, reluctant to part. She clung to Shen Fanyun’s neck, muttering about leaving but desperately holding on, refusing to let go.

Shen Fanyun grunted in acknowledgment. "Have a safe trip."

"I’m really leaving now," Lin Meiqing repeated.

Seizing a moment when no one was looking, she grabbed Shen Fanyun’s right hand and pressed it against her full, voluptuous bosom. As Lin Meiqing’s breathing grew more ragged, her chest heaved dramatically, naturally allowing Shen Fanyun’s large hand to indulge in an unimaginable pleasure.

"I’ve heard you men can’t keep your hands to yourselves when you kiss."

"I’ll indulge you this one time," Lin Meiqing whispered, blocking the view from onlookers and allowing Shen Fanyun’s gentle hand to roam over her proud peaks.

"Satisfied?" Lin Meiqing finally let go, glaring at him with a hint of annoyance.

Shen Fanyun wore his usual teasing smile, his expression playful. "It was alright."

"You take care, too," Lin Meiqing instructed.

"I will," Shen Fanyun nodded.

Lin Meiqing waved, then finally turned and strolled away. Her figure grew smaller and more distant in his view until she turned a corner and vanished completely.

「Ten minutes later.」

The high-speed train officially departed, signifying that Lin Meiqing—the woman who had given him countless wonderful memories and experiences—had truly left. He had no idea when they would ever meet again.

"Have you found anything?" Shortly after, a sharp, youthful figure appeared behind Shen Fanyun.

"More or less," his capable subordinate, Zhan Feng, replied.

"Lin Meiqing is from the Lin Family of Capital City," Zhan Feng said with a sigh. "They’re a superpower of a clan that stands tall in Capital City, their awe-inspiring influence reverberating far and wide. In that great city, they are among the absolute elite—one of the few families who can command the winds and rain, whose authority can blot out the sky. A true aristocratic family." Their heritage, family influence, and power were all in the highest tier.

Zhan Feng had never imagined that Lin Meiqing hailed from the prestigious Lin Family, a true-blue, bonafide daughter of a noble house. With a status like that, she could have done whatever she pleased in Hangcheng City, outshining every other woman.

Shen Fanyun let out a quiet sigh. No wonder Lin Meiqing’s aura and bearing always left him feeling there was more to her. What ordinary family could have raised a young woman like that?!

"Years ago, the Lin Family faced a rebellion. Rumor has it that members of the family’s second generation tried to usurp power and pull Elder Master Lin from his throne," Zhan Feng explained. "Elder Master Lin’s methods were ruthless. Not only did he crush the rebellion, but he also executed an entire branch of the family. The slaughter was said to have blotted out the sun; it was utterly cold and merciless."

Zhan Feng paused, then his tone shifted. "However, it seems there was a twist to the story later on."

"A twist?" Shen Fanyun didn’t know much about these things. If Lin Meiqing hadn’t been connected to the Lin Family, he wouldn’t have had any interest in the grievances of these powerful clans. He wouldn’t care if there was enough bloodshed to float shields, let alone if a family was annihilated overnight and erased from existence. What did it have to do with him? These great families spent their lives consumed by internal strife—and not just simple squabbles, but life-or-death struggles.

"They say that the branch that was wiped out had no intention of rebelling. They were framed, made into scapegoats," Zhan Feng revealed. "Elder Master Lin regretted it for many years, but it was useless. He had already eradicated the entire line, root and stem. No amount of regret could change that."

Shen Fanyun was slightly taken aback.

Could it be that Lin Meiqing is from that very branch? That she miraculously escaped and has been living in Hangcheng City for nearly twenty years, completely detached from the Lin Family? If so, why go back now, after finally securing a peaceful life? Even if her family was framed back then, times have changed. Her branch has lost all its power. Even if the verdict was overturned, what could they possibly reclaim? They’ve completely lost their standing! To return so rashly might just throw her back into mortal danger.

"Elder Master Lin’s health is failing. He’s not expected to survive the year," Zhan Feng muttered. "With these large families, more people just means more problems. It’s all open conflict and covert power grabs. With the Elder Master’s impending death, some of the senior members of the Lin Family see it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Shen Fanyun sneered. From the sound of it, the Lin Family was about to endure another bloodbath. As if Elder Master Lin didn’t kill enough people, now his descendants are preparing to follow his example for another round of slaughter? He had never liked these clans. Pathetic.

As for Lin Meiqing returning to Capital City, he figured she most likely intended to take back everything that once belonged to her branch of the family.

But she’s just a woman. What waves can she possibly make? The Lin Family is a super-clan. After the Elder Master, there are surely countless other capable and powerful figures within the family. Lin Meiqing is just a lone, helpless woman. What’s the difference between going back and sending herself to her death? Foolish.

Although Shen Fanyun didn’t agree with or support her choice, he knew that everyone had their own path. After all, that place was her home. Separated for twenty years, she must have spent countless days and nights longing to return, yearning to set foot in Capital City once more.

In fact, Shen Fanyun understood her feelings and her deep-seated homesickness better than anyone. He had been the same back in the day. After drifting for nearly a decade, even after becoming a titan in his own right, he could never forget the mountains and rivers of his hometown. Too happy to think of home? For most people, home is the ultimate sanctuary.

"Arrange for someone to protect Lin Meiqing in secret," Shen Fanyun ordered Zhan Feng. "There can be no mistakes. If anything happens, I will hold you personally responsible."

Zhan Feng nodded and solemnly promised, "Don’t worry, nothing will happen to her. If there’s an accident, I’ll answer with my life."

Zhan Feng was well aware of how important this woman was to Shen Fanyun. If anything happened to her, no one could bear the severe consequences. The Lin Family itself might bring a great catastrophe upon themselves. With Shen Fanyun’s current power, destroying the Lin Family would be as easy as taking something from his own pocket.

These so-called super-families, with their awe-inspiring might, may intimidate ordinary people. But to Shen Fanyun? They were nothing more than ants. All their talk of commanding the wind and rain meant nothing before a truly peerless individual. Even if they had another hundred years to develop, they would never even catch a glimpse of Shen Fanyun’s back. The gap between people could be immense.

"You can go," Shen Fanyun instructed.

"Understood," Zhan Feng smiled. Before leaving, he added, "According to the latest news, Han Long has hired a group of experts from Capital City. They’re here specifically to deal with you."

Shen Fanyun just scoffed. "Mm."

Since negotiations had failed, a fight was inevitable. He had anticipated Han Long would make this move; he just wasn’t sure how much money he’d spent this time. Top-tier experts didn’t come cheap, and most families couldn’t afford them. Fortunately, Han Long’s family was wealthy enough that it wouldn’t break the bank, though it probably still stung.

"Should I handle them, or...?" Zhan Feng asked. When it came to fighting, Shen Fanyun was a master, but Zhan Feng himself was no slouch. Moreover, they were both trained in the art of killing, making their combat prowess far beyond what ordinary people could comprehend.

With his hands in his pockets, Shen Fanyun spoke nonchalantly, "I’ve been bored lately. I’ll take care of it myself. I’m actually quite curious to see what kind of experts they are."

It had been a long time since he’d had a proper, exhilarating fight against a worthy opponent. Now that someone had finally come to play, how could he pass up such a rare opportunity?

BEEP.

A message arrived from Lin Meiqing. "My train has departed. I’ll be careful, and you do the same. Once I’m settled in Capital City, I’ll keep you updated. And don’t you worry, your Auntie won’t fall in love with anyone else. You can be one hundred and twenty percent sure. In this life, you’re the only one for me!"

Lin Meiqing certainly had the capital to look down on any other man.

Shen Fanyun sighed. The beautiful "Auntie" who had given his life such a unique sense of feeling and understanding was, as of this second, truly gone.

The past, and all its beautiful memories, replayed in his mind like a film in reverse, prompting him to relive them over and over.
