One is Lin Zhibai's mother.

She was carrying Lin Zhibai's child.

Even if they had two more lives, they wouldn't dare to stop it.

Lin Zhibai waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about the matter.

"Go do something," he instructed his assistant. "Find some people to spread the word that Sheng Nanyin is with me. Remember, make it look neat and tidy... I want that ambiguous feeling."

Although the assistant did not understand the reason, he still nodded.

Lin's mother took Yun Wanqing to the mall, where they bought a lot of luxury goods in addition to nutritional supplements.

But Yun Wanqing showed no smile.

"What's wrong?" Lin's mother asked. "Is it because the things I bought today didn't suit your taste?"

“Auntie, no one has ever bought me so many things before. I’m so happy today,” Yun Wanqing said.

But the sadness on her face became even more pronounced.

Lin's mother smiled slightly: "It's Gu Fanyan who made you unhappy, isn't it?"

They were both women; she understood.

"But don't worry, as long as I'm here, there's no way Gu Fanyan and Zhibai will have anything going on."

“Auntie, actually Sister Fanyan is a very nice person... Why do you dislike her so much?” she asked.

Lin's mother looked at her with surprise, "Why do you say she's good?"

Shouldn't they be at odds now?

Yun Wanqing lowered her eyes: "Sister Fanyan has been smart and beautiful since she was little. We little kids all liked to play with her, and she took good care of us... I remember the first time I danced ballet, she was the one who taught me."

Lin's mother also regained some of her memories.

Gu Fanyan was indeed beautiful, sensible, and intelligent at that time, and was deeply loved by all the mothers.

At the time, they all said that whoever could get Gu Fanyan as their daughter-in-law would be incredibly lucky.

But when Gu Fanyan grew up and actually started dating Lin Zhibai, things were a different story.

"Let's not talk about the past anymore," Lin's mother shook her head. "In short, you don't need to worry about Gu Fanyan."

Yun Wanqing pursed her lips: "Auntie, I don't think running away is the solution. We're all in the same circle. Even if we don't interact privately, business cooperation is unavoidable."

"Instead of simply isolating them, it's better to encourage them to interact more and help them resolve their inner conflicts..."

"Auntie, do you think it's silly of me to say these things?"

Lin's mother's gaze made Yun Wanqing feel uneasy.

Lin's mother smiled and said, "I think your suggestion makes some sense."

What does Auntie plan to do?

"Don't ask any questions now, just listen to my instructions," Lin's mother said.

That day, Gu Fanyan received a phone call, and the caller turned out to be Lin's mother.

"Gu Fanyan, come here for a moment, I have something to tell you," Lin's mother said.

"Auntie, is it necessary for us to meet?" Gu Fanyan asked in return.

"Gu Fanyan, you used to call me Aunt Gu when we were little. Now I need your help. Will you help me?" Lin's mother asked.

Gu Fanyan thought about it and agreed.

She had received a lot of information in the past few days, confirming that Sheng Nanyin and her son were indeed in Lin Zhibai's hands.

He and Lu Dongjue were so close they were practically inseparable, so he must have done this for Lu Dongjue.

If we can get some information through Lin's mother, that would be good.

She arrived at the place Lin's mother had mentioned, which was the private residence of a wealthy woman.

The wealthy women socialized with each other, providing support for their husbands and passing the time.

Their main activity today is playing mahjong.

"Fan Yan is here."

"Fan Yan is getting more and more beautiful!"

"Fan Yan has arrived just in time. Let me help your aunt with the cards."

The ladies all know Gu Fanyan, and since she is the eldest daughter of the Gu family, there are bound to be many who want to curry favor with her.

Gu Fanyan agreed to each one, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a chair placed next to Lin's mother.

She stopped, unsure if the chair was meant for her.

"Sister Fanyan is here." Yun Wanqing walked over with a fruit platter in her hand and a big smile on her face.

Gu Fanyan's intuition was indeed accurate.

Yun Wanqing first placed the plate of fruit in her hand on the small table next to Lin's mother, and then told the nanny to put fruit on the small tables next to the other ladies as well.

She looked every bit the lady of the house.

"Fan Yan," Lin's mother said, her eyes glued to the mahjong table, "You are a young lady from a wealthy family. You have a good upbringing and are good at studying. Whether it's getting along with elders or managing a business, you have a knack for it."

"Wanqing will be marrying into the Lin family soon, can you teach her for me?"

If you want Yun Wanqing to learn manners, the Lin family has plenty of people who can teach her.

Lin's mother called her over simply to make her face reality and stop bothering Lin Zhibai in the future.

When she... really wanted to have some kind of relationship with Lin Zhibai?

Gu Fanyan didn't change her expression, only saying, "Okay."

A hint of surprise flashed across Lin's mother's eyes; she hadn't expected her to agree so readily.

"Sister Fanyan, please sit down." Yun Wanqing offered to bring her a chair.

"Wanqing, sit down," Lin's mother called out to her. "You're pregnant, Fanyan should get you a chair."

The ladies exchanged glances discreetly.

Everyone could see that Lin's mother was deliberately making things difficult for Gu Fanyan.

The Lin family and the Gu family are both much larger and more established than them.

No one dared to interfere in the affairs between the two families.

"Miss Gu, please have a seat." The housekeeper was perceptive and personally brought a chair for Gu Fanyan.

"Thank you," Gu Fanyan said.

"Sister Fanyan," Yun Wanqing suddenly spoke up, "Do you know how to grill tilapia? My aunt wants to eat tilapia for lunch, can you teach me?"

"I don't know how." Gu Fanyan sat down.

Yun Wanqing smiled and said, "Sister Fanyan, I remember you are very quick to learn and you can learn things very quickly. I think Auntie will taste even better the grilled fish made by you."

“Impossible,” Gu Fanyan replied, “I am not the Lin family’s daughter-in-law, you are. Aunt Lin’s fish tastes better when it’s grilled by you.”

"Such a simple principle, do I really need to teach you?" Gu Fanyan raised an eyebrow. "Aunt Lin, if Yun Wanqing's aptitude is so poor, I can't agree to the request you made of me."

Lin's mother paused, her hand holding the mahjong tiles still.

"It's alright, it's alright," Yun Wanqing quickly waved her hand, but her eyes were red. "I'll ask the nanny to help."

She left feeling wronged.

"Mrs. Lin, your future daughter-in-law has a very good temper," a lady said, trying to smooth things over.

"I must say, among all these children, she has the best temper." Lin's mother nodded with a smile.

Gu Fanyan sat to the side and listened without saying a word.

After playing a few rounds, the ladies got tired and went to the garden to enjoy the flowers and bask in the sun.

Gu Fanyan went to the restroom, and when she came out, she heard two ladies standing in a corner of the garden talking.

"What does Mrs. Lin mean by this? Are you trying to embarrass Miss Gu?"

"She's giving Miss Gu a warning. Didn't you hear about what happened a few years ago?"

"So what? Does Miss Gu think she'd cling to Young Master Lin?"

"Then why do you think she came here?"

"That's true. If they didn't have any particular plans, they definitely wouldn't have come."

Gu Fanyan leaned against the door, not going any further out, but instead lit a cigarette.

We have to find out Sheng Nanyin's whereabouts as soon as possible.

She won't take the blame for clinging to Lin Zhibai.

After thinking for a moment, she called Lin Zhibai.
