It seems that the various pressures of the past six months have forced her to make changes.

"I never imagined that the small business owner who used to run a hamburger shop would now be someone I can no longer reach."

"Sister Lulu, please stop making fun of me."

Lin Yifeng gave a wry smile and brought her a cup of hot tea.

Meng Lulu held a cup of hot tea and looked at Lin Yifeng with a complicated expression, her eyes gradually reddening and her nose twitching.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Meng Lulu's feelings for Lin Yifeng were quite complex.

At first, she only wanted to play around and take advantage of him, but gradually she became interested in Lin Yifeng and eventually fell completely in love with him.

Most importantly, she witnessed Lin Yifeng's rise to prominence over the course of the year.

From a cautious small business owner to a towering figure in the province, Meng Lulu's influence in Zhongzhou Province is probably no match for Lin Yifeng's.

Meng Lulu never imagined that such a day would come, that Lin Yifeng would achieve his current status.

Fat Donglai, Wallace, Mixue Ice Cream, as well as newspapers and various other businesses.

How could Meng Lulu, who was involved in political circles, not know what had happened to Lin Yifeng?

Meng Lulu put the teacup aside and grabbed Lin Yifeng's hand.

"Young man, do you still stand by your word?"

The atmosphere in the room became somewhat tense.

An'an tilted her head and looked at the uncle who was very close to her mother.

Lin Yifeng was momentarily stunned.

Meng Lulu stared intently at Lin Yifeng, her gaze sharp as a knife.

She risked everything to come to Lin Yifeng, just wanting an answer.

A response that Lin Yifeng once gave.

Now that she is approaching the end of her life, her greatest concern is for An'an, who is by her side.

For An'an's sake, she had to find out all of this clearly.

Lin Yifeng understood Meng Lulu's meaning, of course.

With his current status, he could easily kick Meng Lulu and An'an, this troublesome pair, aside, or even throw the five million back at them and let them fend for themselves.

However, Lin Yifeng was not such a cold-blooded person after all.

He smiled slightly at Meng Lulu.

"Sister Lulu, what kind of person do you take me for, Lin Yifeng?"

"Of course I keep my word."

"You can leave An'an to me without worry."

Upon hearing this, Meng Lulu finally couldn't hold back anymore.

This strong mother's last bastion collapsed, and she buried her face in Lin Yifeng's arms, sobbing softly.

Lin Yifeng felt his chest gradually becoming wet with tears, and he didn't know where to put his hands. He could only gently pat Meng Lulu's back and softly comfort her.

"Sister, everything will be alright."

When An'an saw her mother start to cry, she angrily walked over and punched Lin Yifeng's leg with her little fist.

"You're not allowed to bully Mommy! You're not allowed!"

This left Lin Yifeng somewhat amused and exasperated.

Meng Lulu composed herself and hugged her daughter.

“An’an, your Uncle Lin didn’t bully Mommy. He even helped Mommy a lot.”

"Quickly, apologize to your uncle."

"You can't treat your Uncle Lin like that."

An An tilted her head, her big eyes filled with confusion.

Really?

"real."

"oh."

An An turned her head and bowed to Lin Yifeng again.

"Uncle Lin, I'm sorry, An'an was wrong."

Lin Yifeng gently stroked An'an's head and handed Meng Lulu a tissue to wipe away her tears.

"An'an is such a good girl."

After Meng Lulu calmed down, she sat on the sofa and glanced at An An next to her.

Lin Yifeng also understood that An'an couldn't listen to the following conversation.

He went outside and shouted twice into the corridor.

"Come from the east!"

"From the east?!"

Soon, word spread from the supermarket, and Donglai jogged over to Lin Yifeng's office.

He looked at Meng Lulu inside the room with a puzzled expression. Lin Yifeng didn't have time to explain to him. He just asked Donglai to help look after the child and take An'an to the supermarket to see if there was anything good to eat and get her some.

He needed to talk to Meng Lulu about something.

After settling Meng Lulu's daughter in, Lin Yifeng closed the door.

This time, he made no attempt to hide anything and went straight to the point.

"How much longer?"

Meng Lulu stiffened, avoiding Lin Yifeng's gaze.

"Soon."

"Once they return from Kyoto, the review will probably begin immediately."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yifeng was taken aback at first, but quickly realized what Meng Lulu meant.

The person in charge of the provincial review is Yan Bingshan, who was promoted this year.

If Meng Lulu was sent in, it was by Lin Yifeng's people.

To put it bluntly, the two of them belong to opposing factions within the province, except that Meng Lulu and her group used to be in charge.

Now that Yan Bingshan has been promoted, and with Lin Yifeng's university town plan, Meng Lulu and her faction will have no chance to take the initiative for a long time to come.

The incident at the university town serves as a cautionary tale for the province, and the fact that Meng Lulu and her group haven't run into trouble yet clearly means they've been put on the chopping block and are ready to be dealt with at any time.

This made Lin Yifeng feel somewhat embarrassed.

In other words, it's as if he was the one who sent Meng Lulu to jail.

Seeing Lin Yifeng's embarrassed expression, Meng Lulu seemed to see through his thoughts and suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled.

"You've really gotten to the top."
