Translator: Lonelytree 

Li Huaisheng, the boss of Linyue Pavilion and Mengyue Pavilion, had adopted a goddaughter.

This matter caused a huge commotion in Ning An town.

Li Huaisheng acknowledged her as his goddaughter, so almost everyone knew that this goddaughter was the most likely heir to inherit all of li Huaisheng’s assets.

Soon, many people were filled with curiosity about li Huaisheng’s goddaughter.

When li Huaisheng held a banquet and invited all the neighbors to drink with him, they saw a tall and beautiful woman with a delicate oval face, fair and smooth skin, and beautiful facial features walk out of the house. Everyone was surprised.

This girl was simply a fairy that had walked out of a painting. She was really beautiful.

Where did Li Huaisheng’s luck and fortune come from? He found such a beautiful child to be his goddaughter.

Of course, there were also people who suspected that the girl’s sudden appearance might have an ulterior motive.

When Li Huaisheng saw Lin Jinlan come out, he raised his hand and introduced her to the crowd, ” everyone, this is my goddaughter, Lin Jinlan. In the future, I may have to trouble all of you to take care of her! ”

Li Huaisheng’s words once again surprised everyone.

The meaning behind his words was obvious. He was implying that she might inherit the Li family’s business in the future.

Someone whispered in each other’s ear, “isn’t this Li Huaisheng being too sloppy? His family business is no longer the same as before. It used to be a small cloth shop, but now it has two big shops. I heard that the monthly business profit is no less than three to four thousand taels. Most importantly, the design and production costs of customized clothes are sky-high, and the profits are even bigger.

“They just handed over the family business to a little girl who came out of nowhere. Are li Huaisheng and his wife out of their minds?”

“That’s right. This li Huaisheng has been talking about adopting a child for the past ten or twenty years, but there has been no movement for the past ten years. I didn’t expect that, in the blink of an eye, he would acknowledge a woman whose background is unknown. Isn’t this too hasty?”

“look at such a beautiful woman. She must be the reincarnation of a Vixen. Then, she must have used some kind of method to confuse Li Huaisheng and his wife. That’s why they suddenly told everyone to acknowledge their family and plan to hand over the inheritance rights. This is simply an unreasonable decision.”

In short, everyone was full of doubts about the fact that li Huaisheng suddenly recognized a daughter and intended to hand over the family business to her to inherit. They were suspicious and speculated.

More people thought that this woman, who Li Huaisheng recognized as his relative, had evil intentions.

After all, this woman was not born and raised in Ning An town. Instead, she was a complete stranger to everyone who had appeared out of nowhere.

Of course, they said what they wanted. As for li Huaisheng and his wife’s thoughts, only they knew.

Li Huaisheng looked at the surprised and bewildered expressions on everyone’s faces and immediately said, ” this child’s name is Lin Jinlan. She’s my savior.”

After being introduced to Lin Jinlan, she bowed to the crowd and said in a clear voice, ” Jinlan greets all of you. From now on, I’ll be in your care!”

When li Huaisheng mentioned their she was his family’s savior, everyone was a little stunned. They didn’t know where she had come from.

Judging from the way she spoke, this woman was also a well-mannered person.

Li Huaisheng explained to everyone, ” some time ago, I was bitten by a venomous snake when I passed by a mountain path. At that time, Jinlan happened to pass by and saw that I was seriously injured. Without saying anything, she helped me suck out the venom on my leg.

“That’s why I’m able to stand here safe and sound and talk to everyone.”

“Manager Li, how could there be such a coincidence? You were just bitten by a venomous snake, and she passed by. Without a word, she risked being poisoned to save you?

“Could it be that she was the one who released the venomous snake? You were bitten by the venomous snake when you were passing by, and then she passed by as well and coincidentally saved your life?”

This person’s words were clearly suspicious. This was all Lin Jinlan’s scheme.
