There's always a reason why someone is pitiful.

Xu Keke gestured to Xifeng to watch over Fubao for her while she led Lin Juan and Grandpa Zhao to a secluded spot.

As Director Du spoke, his clear, resonant voice came through the microphone.

Xu Keke looked at the two people in front of her and said indifferently,

“I heard from Yang Lu that she helped Song Lin apply for a separate dormitory in Beijing, I think it was a two-bedroom apartment. He lives alone and has no one to take care of him. She originally wanted to persuade me to take my two children and go to take care of him. But I refused because I have elderly people at home and I also have a job.”

Lin Juan didn't understand and looked at her blankly, not knowing what she meant.

“Zhao Di’s maternal grandfather moved there some time ago. I haven’t been back to visit him yet. Tonight I’m taking Fu Bao and Zhao Di over. If it gets too late, I’ll stay at my parents’ house first.”

After Xu Keke finished speaking, she was about to leave when she remembered something and turned back. "If you want to leave, just go ahead. Fu Bao can come with me for now. I'll go back and get Fu Bao's things later. If you don't have time to help me prepare, I can get them myself."

As soon as Xu Keke left, Lin Juan looked at Grandpa Zhao and asked, "Tell me, what is this? What is she trying to do?"

"Sigh!" Old Zhao sighed deeply, "She wants you to go to the capital to find Song Lin."

"Let...let me go?" Lin Juan was even more bewildered than before. "If I...if I leave, who will take care of her child?"

"Why don't you understand? She still has her parents' home; she's sending her child to her parents' home."

Grandpa Zhao thought for a moment, "She's right. If you go to the factory and make a scene with her like this, you won't be able to live like this when you get back. You don't know what's going on up there, but all that commotion down there was because of her. She was saying such awful things. No one could stand that."

But she didn't even care. She stood there indifferently, watching as if nothing had happened, like someone else was having a good time. Occasionally, when she found something amusing, she would even laugh.

You can't handle this person. I told you long ago, Song Lin isn't home, don't mess with her, live a good life with her, help her take care of the child. But you just wouldn't listen.

If she goes home and you two live together, you won't be able to live like this anymore.

Lin Juan refused, her eyes widening. "Who does she think she is? How could I possibly let her have my family for nothing!"

Grandpa Zhao sighed, knowing she was going to be stubborn again, and advised, "Think about what she just said. Dalinzi lives in a two-bedroom apartment in Beijing. His living conditions are much better than our little courtyard. Just think of it as going there to enjoy a comfortable life with your son. What's wrong with that?"

You're always worried about Dalinzi's leg here, afraid it might develop into a chronic condition. If you went over there, you could take care of her.

Think about it carefully, isn't that the truth?

Lin Juan hesitated after hearing this, "But, but, what about Fu Bao? He's still so young. There's no one to take care of him."

"Oh dear, you forgot what Aunt Chen said about you when you pretended to be sick last time. You're always worrying about this and that, which is why your daughter-in-law has to keep you in check."

That child is her own, her own flesh and blood. Why are you worrying about her like that? Look at her just now, as soon as she saw you bring the child, she quickly took it from my arms.

Last time, she knew you didn't want to part with Fu Bao, so she deliberately tried to make you jealous.

Grandpa Zhao could tell that Lin Juan was already tempted. "Alright, I think that woman from the union is probably in trouble this time. While you can still find her, go over there and get Da Linzi's address and phone number. Just in case you can't find her again later."

As he walked, Grandpa Zhao kept muttering, "Your daughter-in-law is no ordinary person. I was wondering why she was standing there so calmly. She probably knew exactly what was going on. She probably already anticipated this outcome."

On the other side, Xu Keke was stopped by Zheng Shu, who asked the same question, "Did you already know that this would be the outcome?"

Xu Keke laughed, "How would I know? I'm not a god. You acted so convincingly, I thought you were really going to cause me trouble."

"I wasn't acting. I just wanted to cause you trouble." Zheng Shu looked at Xu Keke arrogantly. She was taller and had a better figure than the original owner of this body. Standing in front of Xu Keke, she resembled an arrogant princess.

"It's for Wang Lin!" Xu Keke said for her.

"Of course, before Wang Lin married me, he had a fight with his family because of you. It almost ruined our wedding. Don't blame him, he had no choice. Something happened to his uncle."

Zheng Shu clearly didn't want to say more, and Xu Keke understood that there must be a lot of maneuvering involved in such a matter, involving several parties.

If she spoke out, it would become leverage in someone else's hands. Given Zheng Shu's background, she was certainly wary of this.

“The institute arranged housing for him, and even though there were better options available, he still chose the one in your compound.”

Xu Keke felt no emotion whatsoever after hearing all this.

She recalled the original owner's long-buried memories. And in those memories, Wang Lin rarely appeared. In truth, the original owner had long since erased him from her world.

This doesn't necessarily mean indifference; true indifference lies in acting this way: taking advantage of opportunities, speaking up, and treating others like ordinary old classmates.

Xu Keke was very dissatisfied with the original owner's negative attitude towards her life.

However, Xu Keke felt that Wang Lin did the right thing in this matter.

If you can't let go, then forcefully forget him. Don't give others, or yourself, any chance or excuse.

"I will move out of the courtyard in a few days and live somewhere else."

If she hadn't known before, it wouldn't have mattered, but now that she did, Xu Keke decided to respect the original owner's wishes. She wouldn't give Wang Lin another chance to contact her.

Zheng Shu sneered, "You think that's what I care about? You know how Wang Lin feels about you..."
