Chapter 329 Booking the Wedding Cakes (2)_1
Lin Yuan smiled externally, but was internally sizing up the situation. After she was robbed, she had seriously contemplated who she might have offended, deducing that the suspects could be counted on one’s fingers.
In the Lin family hollow, it could only be the people from the old residence. However, to her knowledge, Lin Jiazhong had spent all his silver on Lin Yongle’s medical treatment. Even Lin Yongcheng had not received silver from his father for a long time, to the extent that he was now sulking in school everyday, with no money to visit brothels.
