She looked at him, "Who did you meet just now?"

Fu Lanchen's dark eyes were obviously startled.

"We had dinner together with the director of this branch office, and I listened to his report on the company's situation."

"The restaurant next door?"

“Near the company.”

Lin Zhi didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he took the phone that was charging on the bedside table, checked the time, and lay back down.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, Fu Lanchen's voice rang out above his head, "What's wrong?"

Lin Zhi closed his eyes. "I remember Nan Zhi is from Northeast China. Did she bring her son back to visit relatives?"

"Her affairs have no interest to me."

Not sure if it was sincere or just a formality, but Fu Lanchen's light tone made Lin Zhi slowly open his eyes.

She leaned sideways, staring out the window in a daze.

Hearing the bathroom door close, Lin Zhi sighed slightly.

Speaking of Nan Zhi, she no longer felt sleepy.

The sound of running water came from inside. She supported herself on the bed and sat up again, then opened WeChat and tried to send a message to Lin Ying.

Unexpectedly, the other end quickly replied: [Sister, I'm not asleep yet.]

Lin Zhi: [Where are you?]

[Outside. My mother doesn't agree with my marriage, so I won't go back to Fengcheng.]

Lin Ying's words surprised Lin Zhi a little.

She actually threatened He Chunni with running away from home. You know, Lin Ying didn't dare to disobey her mother before.

[The man's family is quite wealthy, why didn't He Chunni agree? ]

Lin Zhi asked, expressing his doubts.

Lin Ying responded: "Who knows what she was thinking? I didn't expect the two families to come to blows over a disagreement. If I had known, I would have waited until after the wedding to inform my mother."

What should you do at school? Ask for leave?

We both took time off. His parents wouldn't agree, and it was ultimately because of my mom. It's so annoying.

Lin Zhi felt a little emotional.

She suddenly thought of her biological parents. What were they thinking when they gave birth to her and then abandoned her? She had thought women like He Chunni were toxic. Could they be even more hateful than women like He Chunni?
