Chapter 69: Stress response

"So it's Mr. Fan."

Seeing Mr. Fan walking towards them, Lin Lihai and Lin Wu shook hands with him politely, and then exchanged pleasantries: "Is Mr. Fan talking business with Mr. Yu?"

"Yes, I'm quite interested in several projects of Mr. Yu's company recently, so I came over to chat with Mr. Yu."

Seeing Yu Moxun and Rong Ci standing in place without coming over, Lin Lihai paused, but didn't pay too much attention.

Mr. Fan didn't know the ins and outs, and just felt that Yu Moxun's move was a bit strange.

After all, as a businessman, even if Yu Moxun didn't know the Lin family, coming over to say hello and making more friends wouldn't be a bad thing.

While Lin Wu and Lin Lihai and the others were talking to Mr. Fan, the elder Mrs. Lin greeted Mr. Fan, and then walked towards Rong Ci and Yu Moxun with Sun Yueqing.

Yu Moxun looked at Rong Ci.

Rong Ci watched them come over without moving.

The elder Mrs. Lin spoke kindly: "Xiao Ci, long time no see."

Rong Ci didn't speak.

Seeing Rong Ci's stubborn appearance, the elder Mrs. Lin sighed: "Xiao Ci, you..."

At this time, Sun Yueqing spoke coldly: "Xiao Ci, even if you have more misunderstandings and resentment towards me, it's just between me and you, and your mother, it has nothing to do with Lihai, and your grandmother, Auntie hopes you won't lump them together and push away people who care about you."

Sun Yueqing, Yueqing Yueqing, she remembered that before Lin Lihai divorced her mother, he had told her with a face full of affection that Sun Yueqing was as her name suggested, arrogant and cold, and was the white moonlight he dreamed of.

He said that after meeting Sun Yueqing, he knew what love was.

They were in love with each other.

Lin Lihai said Sun Yueqing looked cold, but was actually a very good person, and hoped she wouldn't make a scene with her mother, and let her face the excellence of others.

Unlike other mistresses who intervened in other people's marital feelings, although Sun Yueqing was very good to her, her expression was always cold and indifferent.

With an aloof appearance.

After many years, Sun Yueqing was still as beautiful and cold as in her memory.

Therefore, this lecture, unlike other words of gentle flattery to a stepdaughter, sounded extremely sincere when spoken from her mouth, and was more convincing.

After all, a white moonlight as cold as her would not bother to make things difficult for a stepdaughter.

If there was any conflict, it was just that the stepdaughter was ignorant.

Sun Yueqing said that the matter between her and her mother, and Lin Lihai, did not affect the feelings Lin Lihai and the elder Mrs. Lin had for her.

Children all longed for fatherly love, longed for family affection.

This was even more so after parents divorced.

At that time, she was only eight or nine years old, and she loved both of her parents.

She couldn't bear to part with either of them.

But she was biased towards her mother in her heart, she felt sorry for her.

Therefore, when Lin Lihai and Rong Yingsheng divorced and fought for custody, even though Rong Yingsheng was already mentally unstable at that time, she insisted on following Rong Yingsheng regardless of the pleas of Lin Lihai and the elder Mrs. Lin.

Even after following Rong Yingsheng, she still had Lin Lihai and the elder Mrs. Lin and the others in her heart at that time.

But because she didn't want Rong Yingsheng to be sad, she didn't show it.

More than a year after Lin Lihai and Rong Yingsheng divorced, the elder Mrs. Lin came to Ducheng for something and secretly had someone contact her, saying she wanted to see her.

At that time, she hadn't seen the elder Mrs. Lin for more than a year, and she missed her too, so she hid it from her uncle and the others and came to see the elder Mrs. Lin.

But she didn't know that the elder Mrs. Lin had also specially brought Lin Wu along.

The elder Mrs. Lin said they were sisters and should get along well.

She was unwilling.

But seeing the elder Mrs. Lin's reproachful gaze, saying she was still too much like her mother, too sharp, she felt sad and began to doubt whether she was a child who was not broad-minded enough.

More than ten years had passed, and she still remembered it very clearly.

She remembered that she went to the restroom sadly that day, and when she came back, she saw the elder Mrs. Lin holding two ice creams, which were bought for her and Lin Wu.

One of them was accidentally scraped off a piece when a waiter carrying a dirty tray passed by, and it was also stained with some oil.

Lin Wu immediately chose the intact one.

The elder Mrs. Lin just rubbed her head and smiled, she didn't throw away the dirty one to change her for a new one.

When she came back, she handed the ice cream directly to her, not mentioning a word about why it was missing a piece.

And with the financial strength of the Lin family at that time, let alone such an ice cream, the old lady could afford a thousand or ten thousand.

But she just didn't change it.

From that moment on, she realized very clearly that the elder Mrs. Lin's heart for her had long since deteriorated.

And she would never forget the malicious look on little Lin Wu's face when she watched her holding that dirty ice cream.

Regarding Lin Lihai, there were many similar things.

Thinking of this, although she didn't care about Feng Tingshen anymore.

Looking at the kind-looking elder Mrs. Lin, and the hypocritical Sun Yueqing who looked like she was doing it for her own good, she smiled, and still responded to them with the matter between her and Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu: "You all say you are sincerely concerned about me, I actually quite want to believe it, it's just, your concern is to collectively help Lin Wu intervene in my marriage?"

Hearing her say this, there was no embarrassment on the faces of the elder Mrs. Lin and Sun Yueqing.

They probably guessed she would say that.

The elder Mrs. Lin sighed: "Xiao Ci, you know the situation between you and Tingshen, why do you have to force someone who doesn't love you to be with you? You can only start over after a divorce, Grandma is—"

"You want to say you are doing it for my own good, right?" Rong Ci cut off her words, she looked at her and Sun Yueqing, and said: "You have said so many words of concern like this, aren't you tired of it? You aren't even finding fresh words to brush me off, how can you make me believe it? Why don't you find some fresh rhetoric next time?"

Without waiting for them to speak, Rong Ci said again: "However, it probably won't be of any use. After all, no matter how much you say, it's all empty, the key is to see what you have done, right?"

The elder Mrs. Lin and Sun Yueqing were both stunned by Rong Ci's retort.

But the elder Mrs. Lin didn't change her expression, and just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Rong Ci.

She said to Mr. Fan who walked back: "Mr. Fan, are you done chatting? Shall we go first?"

Mr. Fan also noticed that the atmosphere on their side seemed a bit wrong.

He smiled awkwardly and nodded: "Okay."

Then he said to the elder Mrs. Lin and Sun Yueqing: "Old Madam, Mrs. Lin, then we will go first."

The elder Mrs. Lin nodded with a smile, but when she looked at Rong Ci, she sighed again.

Ever since Lin Lihai wanted to divorce her mother, whenever she didn't follow their wishes, her mother and son always liked to sigh when talking to her.

It was as if she was very disobedient, very troublesome, and all the bad things were caused by her.

So much so that after Rong Yingsheng and Lin Lihai divorced, when she and Rong Yingsheng returned to the Rong family to live, she had a stress response, afraid of being blamed by others, afraid of others sighing at her, so before she was twelve or thirteen, even though everyone in the Rong family was very good to her, she was still particularly well-behaved, afraid of making mistakes, afraid of having a self.
