"Aren't you afraid that your persistence will ultimately lead to nothing?" Lu Ziyin said calmly.

Qin Wan's expression changed, and she said coldly, "You're not going to help me?"

“I never promised to help you.” Lu Ziyin pushed the documents aside and looked up. “Besides, I never thought what you did was right.”

"Lu Ziyin!" Qin Wan exclaimed angrily, "I am your mother, I gave birth to you!"

“He is also my father!” Lu Ziyin couldn’t help but emphasize her words.

"How dare you!"

The document was slapped hard against Lu Ziyin's face. The sharp edges of the paper instantly cut Lu Ziyin's cheek, and blood dripped down.

Lu Ziyin didn't feel any pain. She just looked directly into Qin Wan's eyes and said calmly, "Mom, give up. Your life isn't just about Lu Xun. You also have..." and me!

"What do you know!" Qin Wan had initially felt a pang of guilt for scratching Lu Ziyin's face, but it vanished in an instant. "If I can't have it, no one else can!"

"I've fought for half my life, and I've driven away Lu Xun's true love! Why, why did Wen Lan, who is nothing at all, steal my man in the end!"

"They even have a son!" Thinking of this, Qin Wan suddenly laughed. "Yinyin, they have a son, aren't you afraid? What if Lu Xun doesn't want to give the Lu family to you anymore, and gives it to that wild thing instead? What will you do then? Will you run to your mother's arms and cry, huh? Hahahaha..."

"You..." Lu Ziyin didn't know what to say. She sighed and said helplessly, "You're not calm right now. Let's talk after you've calmed down!"

After saying that, Lu Ziyin wanted to leave.

Qin Wan snapped out of her daze, a cold smile creeping across her face. "So you're already planning to leave? Your girlfriend, Ding Kemeng, do you really like her? Why don't you bring her back so your mother can see her..."

"I told you, this has nothing to do with her!" Lu Ziyin couldn't help but shout.

"It's simple. You stay here, don't go back. Go to school here, stay with your mother for a few years, and outlive me until I die. Then your mother won't see her anymore..." Qin Wan was smiling, but there was no smile in her eyes.

Lu Ziyin knew that she was capable of harming innocent people to achieve her desires; this wasn't the first time she had done it.

"So, do you agree?"

Qin Wan approached, wanting to touch Lu Ziyin's face, but Lu Ziyin dodged away.

Her face darkened. "Think carefully. Mom isn't that patient!"

"You must really like that child, if..."

"good!"

Qin Wan was interrupted and looked at Lu Ziyin with some surprise.

Lu Ziyin looked up, her expression calm, and spoke again: "Okay, I promise you."

Qin Wan smiled, "What a good son of mine." Her son really is—soft-hearted!

...

After the winter break, March arrives, and early spring begins.

School started in Xiushui, but Ding Kemeng wasn't happy at all.

It seemed that her contact with Lu Ziyin had been cut off. Ever since he went abroad, she hadn't been able to contact him at all. At first, Ding Kemeng didn't think anything of it, assuming he was just busy over there. But as time went on, Ding Kemeng noticed something was different.

Lu Ziyin seemed to have vanished into thin air; all his contact information had disappeared! Not only that, but Tang Zhizhou and Xie Sichen were also unable to reach him!

Sitting in the classroom, Ding Kemeng stared blankly at the empty seat next to her.

"Still no news?" Xie Sichen couldn't help but ask Tang Zhizhou when he saw Ding Kemeng's appearance.

Tang Zhizhou shook his head. He had asked many people, but no one had any news about Lu Ziyin. The Lu family had been refusing to see guests for some time, and he still didn't know what had happened.

"Let's wait a little longer, let's wait a little longer..." Ding Kemeng said softly as she came back to her senses.

But no one knows when that will be.

In March and April, the pressure of the upcoming college entrance examination made Ding Kemeng seem to have forgotten the existence of Lu Ziyin, until one day, she received a package from an unknown person.

When Ding's mother saw the package, she was quite surprised because the sender's address was overseas, but none of her Mengmeng's friends were overseas, except for Li Yi!

Ding's mother, carrying a package, knocked on Ding Kemeng's door.

"Mengmeng, Mom has a package for you here. See if it's from your senior brother!"

The bedroom door was suddenly pushed open. Ding Kemeng quickly put away her phone, turned around, and couldn't help but complain, "Mom, knock on the door!"

Mrs. Ding smiled awkwardly, "Okay, okay, here's your package, take it and have a look. Mom's going to cook now, remember to come out and eat when you're done!"

"Okay, thank you, Mom." Ding Kemeng took the package, put it on her desk, and glanced at it. It was a package sent from overseas.

Did my senior send it?

She used a knife to open the package, and the contents were quickly revealed: a bunch of snacks, various kinds of imported snacks. Ding Kemeng was a little surprised. She took out the snacks, and at the bottom of the package was a large envelope. Ding Kemeng only glanced at it before she froze.

The words on the envelope were written by Lu Ziyin!

This package was sent by Lu Ziyin!

He suddenly disappeared for two months, and now he's suddenly reappeared, only to send her a bunch of letters...

Ding Kemeng gave a wry smile: Lu Ziyin was far too trusting of her.

There were ten letters in the large envelope, each marked with a date and filled with Lu Ziyin's longing for her.

Ding Kemeng didn't know how long she had been sitting at her desk, or how long she had been looking at the letter. When she came to her senses, tears had already soaked the letter. She hurriedly got up and tried to grab a tissue to wipe the letter dry. But the black ink only got dirtier with the tissue, and in no time, she had ruined the letter.

Ding Kemeng finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.

Lu Ziyin, I miss you so much...

[My darling, I miss you so much. I want to see you, touch you, talk to you, hear you laugh, see you play... I miss everything about you, but I can't. For two months, you haven't been able to contact me. Were you scared? Did you scold me? It's okay, even if you scold me, I'll be happy. I love every single one of you!]

[My darling, I still miss you so much today. Do you miss me? Are you scolding me? I dreamt about you, and in my dream you said you missed me. I was so happy!]

【My darling, wait for me, okay? Wait for me to come back. I really, really miss you…】

After crying her fill, Ding Kemeng wiped away her tears, carefully collected the letters one by one, put them into a bag, and locked them in the cabinet.

While Ding's mother was cooking, she faintly heard crying. Curious, she knocked on her daughter's door: "Mengmeng, are you done? Why do I hear crying coming from your room?"
