Hearing Lin Qian’s reassurance, Madam Gu was not ready to let the matter rest.
She reached out and took Lin Qian’s hand, "Qianqian, Mom knows you’re a good child and would never go back to an old relationship. But Yu’an is different, I’m afraid he will keep pestering you, wanting to rekindle the old fla. Qianqian, could I ask you to be harsh with him when he seeks you out, so he can give up on you completely?"
Only if Lin Qian acted as the villain and utterly despised Su Yu’an, could Su Yu’an beco completely disappointed in her and settle down to marry her daughter, Gu Yan.
Madam Gu’s intentions were fully understood by Lin Qian, but it deeply saddened her.
After all, she wasn’t her biological mother, and at this mont, Madam Gu’s main concern must be Gu Yan.
Lin Qian suppressed the sourness in her nose and forced a smile at Madam Gu, "Mom, you don’t need to ask ; I’d do it anyway. Su Yu’an broke up with four years ago, and with a man as rcenary as he is, how could I possibly change my mind? So please rest assured, I will never get entangled with him again."
Upon hearing this, Madam Gu hesitated, ultimately said nothing, and lightly patted her hand, nodding with a smile.
There was a reason Su Yu’an had broken up with Lin Qian.
And it was probably best not to ntion it.
Lest it rekindle Lin Qian’s feelings.
"Qianqian, how have you been these past four years? You were pregnant back then, but what happened afterward? Was the baby born? Who’s the father..."
"Mom, my child is with , a lovely boy, and he doesn’t have a father."
Lin Qian didn’t want to dwell on these sorrowful past events with Madam Gu, so after finishing her cake, she said, "Mom, my lunch break is almost over; I need to go back to work."
"Wait, Qianqian."
Madam Gu took a card out of her purse, "Qianqian, there’s not much I can do to help you, but here’s a bit of money; take it. Also, I’ll keep your marriage in mind and will surely find you a good, reliable man to take care of both you and your child."
"Mom, I’m not short on money."
Lin Qian frowned, looked down slightly, and spoke in a low voice, "Mom, I understand what you an. Don’t worry, I will not have any dealings with Su Yu’an."
So, there was no need for her to hurry in arranging a match for her.
"Qianqian..."
Madam Gu called out a few tis, watching Lin Qian’s retreating figure as she walked away quickly, and sighed.
Although she felt sorry for her, she was not her biological daughter after all.
All she hoped for was that her biological daughter could find a happy marriage, to make up for the many years of maternal love that had been missing.
Lin Qian returned to the store, her mood not at all uplifted that afternoon.
The past surfaced once again at the appearance of Madam Gu.
She tried her best not to think, not to reminisce, and forced herself to remain calm and detached.
At the kindergarten, it was ti for activity class.
Candy sat under the shade of a tree, furrowing her little brows, touching her soft hair, and looking at Lin Zirui.
"Brother, why did you pull Candy’s hair? It hurts a bit!"
Lin Zirui carefully placed the hair in a sealed bag and stuffed it into his pocket, "Because I need to take your hair and get it tested with my mommy’s."
"Why get it tested?" she asked.
"Because my mommy didn’t just give birth to back then, she also had my brother and sister. But my brother and sister were sold by my grandfather as soon as they were born. Everyone says you and I look alike, so I want to check if it’s true."
Lin Zirui didn’t hide anything and told the full story to Candy.
Candy’s little mouth ford an ’O’, "Brother, your grandfather is so cruel, how could he bear to sell mommy’s children!"
Indeed.
Lin Zirui pursed his lips.
After the shock, Candy’s big eyes flickered, filled with joy, "Hehe, Zirui, I’ve never had a mommy since I was little, and we even share the sa birthday; maybe I really am mommy’s daughter. Then you’ll have to call sister!"
Lin Zirui furrowed his little brows and scratched his head reluctantly.
She was supposed to be the younger sister, so how did she beco the older sister?
However, whether it was older sister or younger sister, as long as he could help Mommy find his brother and sister, that was all that mattered.
"Brother, no, I an, little brother, when are we going to take the test?"
"Don’t call little brother, call by my na. When I get ho tonight, I will get Mommy’s hair, and tomorrow afternoon during activity class, I’ll slip out and do the test."
"Okay, okay, little... Zirui, take with you tomorrow."
Both little ones were scheming excitedly and secretly, thrilled with their plan.
When school let out, Mr. Yin’s car was parked by the roadside, Yin Moran had co to pick up his daughter himself.
"Daddy, how co you have ti to pick up today?"
Candy was bouncing with excitent as she ran up to Yin Moran.
"Daddy just happened to have no engagents today."
Yin Moran scooped up his daughter and hooked the corner of his lips.
He would never admit that he wanted to spend more ti with his daughter after listening to soone’s words that morning.
His gaze swept towards Lin Zirui, who was looking up at him. Yin Moran’s dark eyes flickered, and he bent his lips into a smile. "
Your Mommy is working overti today. Do you want to co with ?"
For such a heartless woman, he would overlook her unreasonableness towards him today for the sake of this little guy who adored him so much.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zirui’s eyes lit up. Before he could open his mouth to speak, Candy had already started shouting excitedly, "Yes, Zirui, co back ho with and Daddy."
Lin Zirui nodded and reached out, taking hold of Yin Moran’s large hand.
He looked a lot like Mr. Yin. Perhaps he really was his father!
"Hehe, that’s great."
Candy was brimming with excitent, her big eyes spinning around as she hatched another mischievous idea, "Daddy, will Mommy be working very late? Then we could pick up Mommy on the way back when we send Zirui ho, and give Mommy a surprise, okay?"
Mommy would definitely be moved by Daddy this way.
Yin Moran raised an eyebrow slightly, having his own thoughts guessed by his daughter, he didn’t object.
"Daddy, please? It’s not safe for Mommy to go back alone at night. You’re a man, and it’s your duty to take care of won."
Seeing Yin Moran not speaking, Candy began to act cutesy and pout.
Yin Moran took the easy way down, "Okay, I’ll listen to my daughter."
"Yay! Daddy is aweso! Hehe, Zirui, are you happy?"
"Happy."
Lin Zirui’s eyes sparkled with brightness.
If they truly were his father and sister, that would be perfect.
As night fell and a day’s work was done, Lin Qian rubbed her sore lower back.
"I thought I’d have to work until midnight today, thankfully we finished early! Manager Lin, let’s go." An employee, changed out of their work clothes, greeted Lin Qian.
"Okay, coming, thank you all for your hard work." Lin Qian smiled, picked up her belongings, and prepared to leave work.
"Hey, look, there’s a really handso man outside, who’s boyfriend is he? I saw him waiting outside when I went to the restroom just now."
"Really! Look at his gentle temperant, like polished jade, dressed in all branded clothes, he must co from a distinguished family. Who is this gentleman? Who is he here to pick up?"
"Here he cos, look, who is he looking at?"
