"Brother, you're really heartless! I was just trying to comfort Mom for you, and this is how you treat me?"

"Hurry up and leave, don't get in the way."

Lu Feng put his arm around her and led her out the door. "He's a traitor, Brother Zhang. You're no good. See for yourself."

Lu Anyang immediately gave him a look.

Lu Feng grabbed Lin Wanwan and ran away quickly.

"Lu Feng, you're all grown up now, are you still afraid of your older brother?"

"You're so big now, aren't you afraid of your mother anymore?"

Lin Wanwan was speechless. "That makes sense."

The five-day holiday passed quickly.

Lin Wanwan returned to her miserable life of manual labor, but fortunately, she was doing work that she was interested in.

Thinking about it, it's actually quite a happy experience.

Last night at work, Lin Wanwan saw Cheng Jinyan in his office and knocked on the door to go in.

"Come in."

"Director Cheng, I have a question. Are you free now?"

Cheng Jinyan looked up at her. "Sit down. What's wrong? Are you a workaholic? Is there a problem at work?"

"Director Cheng, there's something I need to confirm with you."

Cheng Jinyan raised an eyebrow at her, signaling her to continue.

Lin Wanwan rolled the documents in her hand into a cylinder and held it to his mouth.

"Director Cheng, on May 1st, I saw someone in a Western restaurant who looked a lot like you. There was also a tall, beautiful woman sitting opposite him. Director Cheng, was that you that day?"

Cheng Jinyan reached out and pushed the paper tube near his mouth. "You saw it?"

"Yes, please explain who that tall, beautiful woman over there is."

"Want to know?"

Lin Wanwan nodded frantically.

"Thanks to you, I've been going on a lot of blind dates lately."

"What, are you blaming me for every blind date you go on?"

"How can it not be your fault? You said that the only thing left that Bai Qi and I haven't gotten married is that we're being dragged off to blind dates whenever we have free time."

"This has nothing to do with me, don't blame me."

Lin Wanwan shook her head in horror, "It's all my fault."

"If it's not your fault, who is? My teacher's wife is always introducing girls to me, so I can only drag Bai Qi down with me."

Lin Wanwan clasped her hands in a fist salute, "Then take care, senior brother."

He was about to run away after saying that.

"stop!"

Lin Wanwan turned around with a fawning smile, "Senior brother, I haven't finished my work yet."

"Treat me to lunch!"

"Please! You must come!!"

Lin Wanwan was speechless. She had come to gossip, but ended up getting ripped off with a meal.

Men are indeed untrustworthy; they are cunning and treacherous.

At lunchtime, Cheng Jinyan and Lin Wanwan went out for lunch. As soon as they drove up to the door, they saw a familiar figure.

"Mu Lin?"

Mu Lin saw her too, waved and smiled at her.

She quickly opened the car door and got out. "Why are you back? Why didn't you call? When did you arrive?"

Mu Lin smiled at her, "I arrived this morning. I was going to call you, but I was afraid of disturbing you at work, so I thought I'd wait for you at the entrance of your workplace. Are you going to have lunch with Brother Cheng?"

He peeked into the car and nodded to Cheng Jinyan, who was inside.

"Yeah, let's do it together!!"

"Will this be a disturbance?"

Lin Wanwan pulled him to the car. "Senior brother, should we let Mu Lin come with us?"

"Okay, let's get in the car first."

"Xiao Linzi, why didn't you tell me you were coming back so I could have picked you up?"

Lin Wanwan was quite happy. Mu Lin went to Hong Kong to pursue a master's degree and then naturally stayed in Hong Kong.

Lin Wanwan hadn't seen him for two years.

"Is Auntie back? Where's Uncle Mu?"

“My mom is back too. My dad went back to Beijing last month. My mom kept talking about you and said she wanted you to come back for dinner.”

"Oh, did Auntie buy me another gift?"

"Yes, there are a lot. You can drive over and move them."

Lin Wanwan was overjoyed, "I love unwrapping presents the most, Auntie is so kind."

"I got a share of the gift too, don't I deserve it?"

Lin Wanwan turned to look at him, "If you hadn't been gone for two years, you would have been better off."

"Aren't you accusing me? Didn't I call you?"

Cheng Jinyan listened to their conversation with a smile.

"Did Brother Cheng get a promotion?"

Cheng Jinyan glanced at Lin Wanwan in the passenger seat. "You got promoted, didn't you?"

Mu Lin said with a smile, "When I called her before, Wanwan said that the person she was clinging to had become even more powerful. She sounded so proud when she said it that you would think she had been promoted."

"Let's have some spicy hot pot at Wanwan's restaurant. You haven't been here before, have you?"

Mu Ni nodded. "I heard about it as soon as I got back. Are you treating today?"

Lin Wanwan was in a good mood and waved her hand generously, "Since we're on my turf, I'll treat you."

The three of them enjoyed their meal very much. When they left, Lin Wanwan pulled Mu Lin along.

"I haven't even asked you yet, how long are you going to stay in Beijing?"

Mu Lin patted her head, "We won't be leaving for now, don't worry."

Lin Wanwan then let him go and went to work with Cheng Jinyan.

"You and Mu Lin have a good relationship?"

Lin Wanwan said nonchalantly, "Yes, he's been my shadow since I was little. He always thinks I'm right and he's always been there for me. Even when I was rebellious and acted like a hooligan, Mu Lin never complained about me."

Cheng Jinyan nodded slightly, and after a while said, "What were you like when you were a child?"

Lin Wanwan thought for a moment before saying, "When I was little, I was a princess with a lot of fuss. Mu Lin was sickly when she was little and was often bullied by the kids she played with. I just didn't believe it. The more those kids refused to play with Mu Lin, the more I wanted to play with her. I even directed Mu Lin to beat them up."

"Can you beat them?"

Lin Wanwan suddenly burst out laughing, "When Mu Lin was little, he was so small, who could he beat? He always lost every fight, and I always had to save him. My dad was a soldier, and he was afraid I would be bullied, so he told me to fight when I was little so I could hurt people."

“Every time we got home after a fight, we would be praised. My parents were very protective of their kids. They knew that those kids were just bullies, but they didn’t say anything. I don’t know if it was because I was too difficult when I was little, but Mu Lin became stronger at some point. He could win fights without my help. Later, he was the one who protected me. But later, because my aunt took him around, we saw each other less often.”

"I feel a little regretful that I haven't seen what you looked like when you were a child."

Lin Wanwan looked at him with an expression as if she had a swarm of flies. "You'd better not see him. I'm afraid I'll torture you to death."

Hahahaha, were you this scary when you were a kid?

"Why don't you ask my parents or Mulin next time? I might have acted out when I was little."

"But it must be very cute too."

"That's right, I'm loved by everyone, and I was even prettier when I was a child than I am now."

Cheng Jinyan smiled and said nothing more.

When Lin Wanwan got home from get off work, she saw Gu Qing sitting in the living room chatting with Lu Anyang.

He immediately stood up when he saw her come in, "President Lin is back?"

Lin Wanwan saw her and joked, "Mr. Gu, what brings you here to see me?"

"Sorry to bother you, I didn't tell you in advance that I was coming this way."

"Mr. Gu, you're too kind. Please have a seat, or I won't dare to sit down."

The two looked at each other and smiled.
