Yun Nuan remained silent, and Cheng Cheng reassured her, indicating that she shouldn't worry.

"That's for the best. I hope we won't be so abrupt and scare people next time."

Lin Qixiu stepped aside to let the two leave first. Yun Nuan stared at Lin Qixiu for a while, then pulled Cheng Cheng along, her eyes filled with a hint of indifference. She suddenly spoke.

"No need, let's get this straight now and find a place."

Cheng Cheng turned to look at her and asked in a low voice

"Are you sure? Should we go back and discuss it with President Qin?"

Yun Nuan shook her head. Since Sister Cheng Cheng knew the other party and was certain that the other party was from the Lin family in the capital, there was nothing to be afraid of. All she cared about from beginning to end was the name Lin Yuyan.

This is the original owner's mother, the person the original owner missed most in this world.

Lin Qixiu was surprised; he hadn't expected her to understand so quickly. He was somewhat pleased.

"Then let's find a place to talk. Miss Cheng can come along if she's worried."

So the group moved to a coffee shop, where the green grass of a golf course was visible through the glass windows.

Cheng Cheng chose a seat that was relatively far away, so she couldn't hear the conversation but could still see people, which made her feel a little more at ease.

-----------------

The three people at the table remained silent. Yun Nuan was focused on looking at the menu, wanting to order some food, but there was only an hour left before lunchtime. She couldn't eat too much, otherwise Qin Yan would nag her.

She was torn between the chocolate cake and the taro cake; she wanted to eat both, but if she ate both, her stomach would feel uncomfortable, and she wouldn't be able to eat lunch.

"Let's order both together, don't worry about the money." Lin Song'an said smugly. Seeing her hesitate and compare when ordering a cake, it seemed that she wasn't as good to Qin Yan as the rumors suggested.

Yun Nuan looked at him as if he were an idiot. Arrogant and conceited—that was her first impression of Lin Song'an. Her second impression was that he was a naughty child who only knew how to throw tantrums!

"Hello, can I have half chocolate cake and half taro cake?"

Yun Nuan asked the waiter, and Lin Song'an hurriedly spoke up.

"Two at a time is enough, what store sells like that!"

Yun Nuan glared at him and looked away at the waitress. The waitress was a gentle girl, and she was also a little annoyed by what the person opposite her had said. What did he mean by "don't worry about money"? It sounded condescending and harsh.

Moreover, the boss instructed us today that if any girl with long hair and a doll-like appearance makes a request, whatever it may be, we should grant it.

The waitress was pretty sure this was the girl the boss had mentioned when Yun Nuan came in, so she smiled gently at Yun Nuan and spoke...

"Of course! Please feel free to tell us if you have any other requests."

Yun Nuan was surprised that the waiter agreed to her request, and her dimples appeared on her face with joy. She handed the menu back to the waiter.

"Thank you. Could you please give the menu to that lady and tell her it's on me, and ask her to wait for me?"

The waiter was captivated by her smile; it was so sweet, it melted his heart. Forgetting the two gentlemen opposite him, the waiter grabbed the menu and headed straight for Cheng Cheng.

"Alright, let's talk. You should be able to hold out until lunchtime, right?" Yun Nuan said innocently, though she was still holding a grudge from earlier.

Lin Qixiu smiled slightly and said, "It's alright."

Lin Qixiu first told her about Lin Yuyan, a very cliché story about a rich young lady falling in love with a poor boy from a poor family who was studying in the capital.

Perhaps there really was some true love between them. At that time, Yun Shanhe did not know Lin Yuyan's identity, and the two were like a beautiful campus couple.

Lin Yuyan wanted to be with him forever, so she told Old Master Lin. Old Master Lin objected, and since Lin Yuyan's premarital pregnancy had brought shame to the Lin family, the old man was so angry that he made her choose: either break off her relationship with Yun Shanhe and continue being the Lin family's daughter, or take the child and never return to the Lin family.

Having never experienced hardship since childhood, Lin Yuyan firmly believed that she could live well even without the Lin family. So, after saying goodbye to the old man, she followed Yun Shanhe after graduation and came to S City to develop her career.

The city's prosperity breeds endless desires, and the former lover has long lost himself in life. Yun Shanhe had already cheated on her when she first arrived in S City.

Lin Yuyan kept it a secret very well, and during her pregnancy, she used all her savings accumulated over the years to help Yunshanhe start his business.

Just before giving birth, Lin Yuyan witnessed Yun Shanhe's infidelity and suffered from postpartum depression after giving birth to Yun Nuan. Yun Shanhe's business succeeded, and Zhou Yue's brazen intrusion pushed the already frail Lin Yuyan to her limit.

A few years later, Lin Yuyan passed away due to illness, and Zhou Yue became Mrs. Yun.

Yun Nuan remained expressionless after hearing this. She had watched so many TV dramas, and these tropes were familiar yet frustrating. Clearly, Lin Yuyan was just that kind of person, abandoning everything for love, only to have love abandon her in the end.

Lin Qixiu continued speaking

"Grandpa had already regretted it, but the Lin family was also in crisis at the time. Grandpa arranged for people to help Yun Shanhe, hoping that he could give Aunt a good life."

But Grandpa never imagined that once Aunt left, she would never be able to return to the capital, and he would never see his daughter again.

So, out of spite, he refused to see anyone or anything related to her again. Over the years, he's been practicing vegetarianism and chanting Buddhist prayers, and he's dreamt of his aunt. He's already regretted his actions, so he asked us to find you and bring you back to the Lin family.”

The snacks arrived, but Yun Nuan lost her appetite after hearing the story. In this story, everyone stubbornly continued to make mistakes.

“Yun Nuan, Grandpa wants to see you. He is old and regrets those old things. He wants to take you back to the Lin family and take good care of you. Grandpa feels guilty towards Aunt.”

We'd like to take you back to the Lin family. Would you be willing?

"I don't want to," Yun Nuan said.

Lin Qixiu was at a loss for words when she rejected him so decisively, and asked her in return...

"Why?"

She looked at the two people opposite her with an indifferent gaze. "There's no need for that. I'm not the Yun Nuan I used to be. Or rather, I'm not Yun Nuan anymore. Even if I were, I would still refuse this suggestion."

How can you make your selfishness sound so righteous? It took you more than 20 years to realize your regret. Well, I guess we can give you another 20 years to learn to forget.

Just pretend Yun Nuan doesn't exist. You don't need to go to the trouble of searching for her and then say these words as if it were a charity.
