Yi Mingjun's eyes dimmed again. "Xiao Heng, you like it here now. But when you get to Beijing, it'll be much better there. You'll definitely fall in love with it very quickly."

"I don't know if I'll fall in love with Beijing, but I love it here now, and I only want to stay here."

Seeing that they couldn't persuade Lin Zhiheng no matter what they did, the Yi couple communicated with each other through their eyes.

Yi Mingjun was shrewd and patient, and he signaled to Liu Xiangrong not to rush.

Dealing with a cold-hearted guy like Lin Zhiheng requires patience and a gradual approach, like boiling a frog slowly, to win him over little by little and eventually coax him home.

Outside the door

Before Shen Mengya even arrived outside Lin Qingyan's house, she could see the car parked in front of Lin Qingyan's house from afar.

They're here! The Yi family has really arrived.

Her phone call wasn't in vain, and her trip wasn't in vain either.

The Yi family must be reuniting with Lin Zhiheng inside now. Is Lin Qingyan willing to give up her younger brother?

She couldn't wait to go and take a look, and her pace quickened unconsciously.

Grandma Lu also saw the car, but she didn't think it was going in the direction of the Yi family.

Last time, provincial and county leaders came to praise Lin Qingyan, they drove over. Is it possible that leaders are coming to praise Lin Qingyan again this time?

If the leaders come to praise Lin Qingyan, why would they go and join in the fun? Lin Qingyan definitely wouldn't welcome them.

She called out to Shen Mengya, trying to get her to slow down.

"Mengya, why are you walking so fast?"

They're about to receive praise again. Don't you feel envious, jealous, or upset when you see that?

"Grandma, I want to see Comrade Qingyan as soon as possible. I have a lot to say to her. I'm afraid if we go too late, she will go to the clinic. If she gets busy, I won't have time to talk to her."

Grandma Lu shook her head and said nothing.

Mr. Lu also saw the car. He thought almost exactly the same thing as Mrs. Lu: another leader must have come to see Lin Qingyan. He was happy for his daughter-in-law.

But when he got closer, he noticed that the car's license plate started with 01, and he couldn't help but pause in surprise.

It turned out to be a car from Beijing, and upon closer inspection of the numbers on the back, he found them strangely familiar.

Not many people in Beijing can afford to drive a car; most cars are company vehicles.

He was wondering why the license plate number looked familiar when he suddenly remembered someone: Yi Mingjun.

He and Yi Mingjun were both veterans who transferred to local factories to become leaders; he worked at a fertilizer factory, and Yi Mingjun worked at a cement factory.

The two factories originally had no connection and no business relationship, but they sometimes attended meetings together and thus knew each other.

Grandma Lu and Grandma Yi had a past conflict, not a major feud, but the two families were not on good terms and had always kept to themselves.

He knew that the car Yi Mingjun was driving did not belong to Yi Mingjun, but to his work unit.

They had previously discovered that Lin Zhiheng was likely a child of the Yi family, and now that Yi Mingjun's car had appeared here again, he must have come to recognize Lin Zhiheng.

Yi Mingjun used an official vehicle for personal reasons to find Lin Zhiheng, which shows how anxious he was to reunite with the child.

He had heard from others that the Yi family only had one child, and that child was currently seriously ill.

Yi Mingjun's family moved to Beijing later. In the years before that, the Yi family only had that one child, and they never mentioned their other child to anyone. It wasn't until the child was rumored to have a serious illness, often coughing up blood and even urinating blood, that the Yi family went to great lengths to search for their other child.

He only recently learned that the Yi family had lost a child sixteen years ago. At that time, they were still living in Tianjin, so they focused their search there. The Beijing newspaper published a missing person notice, but he hadn't heard any news of the child being found when he came from Beijing.

The day before yesterday, Old Mrs. Lu mentioned that Lin Zhiheng was a child of the Yi family. At the time, he was busy taking care of Lu Zhengting and Lin Qingyan's marriage, and he saw that Lin Zhiheng didn't seem to want to return to the Yi family, so he didn't say anything about it.

While he was staring blankly at the car, Shen Mengya had already entered Lin Qingyan's house.

She indeed saw Yi Mingjun and Liu Xiangrong there.

To her surprise, the two looked rather disheveled. They were sitting on the ground, crying their eyes out, their faces streaked with tears. They were pleading with Lin Zhiheng to come home with them, like beggars begging for alms.

She shifted her gaze to Lin Zhiheng and found that he didn't even glance at Yi Mingjun and Liu Xiangrong.

It must be that Lin Zhiheng doesn't want to leave; the couple can't do anything about it.

She chuckled inwardly at the couple's rather low-level tactics. If Lin Zhiheng wasn't going to leave, why didn't they just have someone kidnap him?

On second thought, she realized that the Yi couple might have tried a soft approach first, and if that didn't work, they would definitely have to resort to a hard one.

When she walked in, everyone inside except Lin Zhiheng, who had his head down and didn't see her, showed displeasure on their faces when they saw her, except for Lu Zhengting, Lin Qingyan, and Grandma Lin.

Lu Zhengting asked her, "Weren't you going back to Beijing with your grandmother today? What are you doing here?"

He had always been indifferent to Shen Mengya, and now he was just a little more indifferent than before.

Shen Mengya then delivered the prepared explanation she had prepared beforehand.

“Brother Zhengting, I’ve come to say goodbye to Comrade Qingyan. You’ve already married her, what more can I do? I want to reconcile with her, let’s turn from enemies to friends, and become good sisters-in-law in the future.”
