That day, after Lin Yixun finished her breakfast, Half Mountain Villa welcod a few unexpected visitors. Among them was a man Lin Yixun recognized, Leng Yixiu’s assistant with the surna Chen, but as for the other foreign n, Lin Yixun didn’t know them.
"Miss Lin, this is Dr. Smith, a world-renowned plastic surgeon. These two are Dr. Smith’s assistants, and they are also very famous doctors in the industry."
Hearing Assistant Chen say this, Lin Yixun instantly understood his aning, she faintly glanced up.
Lin Yixun faintly glanced at Dr. Smith, then turned her gaze to Assistant Chen, "You can send them back."
"Miss Lin, Dr. Smith was specially invited from abroad by the boss. It took a lot of effort for the boss to invite him..."
At the ntion of Leng Yixiu, Lin Yixun’s face grew even colder, "How much effort he spent is his business, but I don’t need it!"
Leng Yixiu went to great lengths to bring a plastic surgeon from abroad, rely because he found the scar on her face unsightly. He wanted to remove the scar to make her look pleasing to the eye, but she would not let him have his way.
She would bear this ugly scar every day, to spite him, to disgust him!
Assistant Chen, seeing Lin Yixun’s cold deanor, didn’t know what to do. He couldn’t understand; don’t all won care greatly about their appearance? If it were any other woman, she would certainly accept this offer gladly. Why was Lin Yixun so resolute in refusing?
However, what he didn’t know was that Lin Yixun, like other won, did care about her appearance. But won beautify themselves for those they love. She couldn’t be with the one she loved but had to face a face she detested every day.
Restoring her appearance made no difference to her.
Seeing Lin Yixun turn and head upstairs coldly, Assistant Chen couldn’t help but call his boss to report the situation.
On the other end of the phone, Leng Yixiu listened to Assistant Chen’s report, his deep eyes gradually dimming. After a long while, he spoke in a deep voice, "Alright, I understand."
In fact, Leng Yixiu had more or less anticipated this result but still wanted to test it one last ti.
He smiled bitterly, how much must Lin Yixun hate him to not even care about her own appearance!
...
Lin Yixun thought that after going against Leng Yixiu’s wishes, she would face the man’s wrath, but unexpectedly, Leng Yixiu showed her rcy by agreeing to let her visit Lin’s mother.
When she saw her mother again, Lin Yixun felt as if a century had passed. At the mont she saw Lin’s mother, all the grievances and pain of that ti were magnified.
She strode forward, throwing herself into her mother’s arms, burying her head deeply in her chest.
Lin’s mother’s sudden embrace surprised her mother, who asked worriedly, "Xiao Xun, what’s wrong? Did sothing happen at work that made you unhappy?"
Lin Yixun’s nose tingled, she hugged her mother tightly, trying to absorb her warmth. After a while, she lifted her head from her mother’s embrace, forced back her tears, and said with a strong nasal sound, "Nothing’s wrong. Work is going well. The boss values greatly. It’s just that I haven’t seen you in a while, and I missed you."
Lin’s mother smiled in relief, "You child, even at this age, still acting spoiled."
"You’re my mother. No matter how old I get, I’m always a child in front of you." Lin Yixun tightly embraced her mother’s waist, speaking in a low voice, "Mom, I’m sorry I haven’t been able to see you for so long."
"Silly child, there’s no need to apologize to mom. You’ve been busy with work and business trips, it’s understandable. But look at you, you’ve lost weight after being away for so long."
Lin Yixun felt even more guilty and remorseful for her mother’s understanding and trust. All along, her mother had unconditional trust in her, but she had used that trust to constantly deceive her.
"Mom, if... I an if, soday you find out I lied to you, would you bla ?"
"How could you lie to ? My Yixun never lies to anyone," Lin’s mother said, reminiscing about the old days. "I still rember, once an aunt half-jokingly asked you how much savings we had, and without thinking, you revealed all our family’s savings. At that ti, I thought, my girl is really naive, how can we easily tell others our family’s savings? Yet you wouldn’t lie to fool her. Xiao Xun, do you rember how you reacted when you heard this?"
Lin Yixun shook her head, it was a long ti ago, she really couldn’t rember.
"At that ti, you put your hands on your hips and said indignantly, people should be honest and not lie," Lin’s mother paused and laughed, "You were unruly as a child, but you always did well in this. No matter how big a mistake you made, you wouldn’t lie."
Lin Yixun listened quietly, her heart feeling increasingly troubled. Her mother had always unconditionally trusted her, not knowing that she was no longer who she used to be.
She couldn’t imagine what her mother would do if soday the truth was revealed.
No, she would never let that day co!
After seeing Lin’s mother at Shengde Hospital, Lin Yixun’s mood, which had been gloomy for so ti, finally improved significantly. At least she wasn’t as silent as she was a few days ago, although she still treated Leng Yixiu coldly. When Leng Yixiu wasn’t around, she would occasionally learn from Sister Yi and help trim the villa’s backyard flowers and plants.
Ti slipped by silently, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed. One morning, when Lin Yixun got up, she received a call from the hospital saying that all of her mother’s health indicators were normal and she could be discharged in a few days.
This was fantastic news for Lin Yixun.
With her mother being discharged, given her health condition, she would naturally need a caretaker. The old house was dark and damp, leaking when it rained, unsuitable for her mother’s recovery.
At this point, finding a new house beca the most pressing matter.
Lin Yixun went downstairs to the villa’s backyard, trimming the flowers and plants while thinking about the matter of finding a house. At this mont, she heard the roaring sound of cars from the front yard.
She thought it was Leng Yixiu returning, so she didn’t pay much attention. However, it was indeed unusual for Leng Yixiu to co back in the early morning, as he usually returned around six or seven in the evening.
She refocused her mind on trimming the rose branches. Suddenly, footsteps approached from behind. Thinking it was Sister Yi, she was about to ask if they should water the roses when she turned and froze, as if struck by an immobilization spell.
