Did Lu Jinghuai admit it just like that?
Lin Yan didn't react for a moment and blinked slowly.
"It's really you. How did you know that the Song family has an illegitimate child?"
"I found out by accident." Still just a few simple words.
Lu Jinghuai has been secretly investigating the Song family for so many years, and naturally he has discovered some secrets.
For example, the mistake Song’s father made many years ago, and the son that Song’s father didn’t even know about.
Lin Yan also came back to her senses and couldn't help but wonder, "What about the illegitimate child of the Song family? Did you bring him back just to compete with Song Jingya?"
"Well, to be precise, it's to let him destroy the Song family." Lu Jinghuai did not hide anything from Lin Yan.
"He hates the Song family. It can be said that he hates the Song family as much as I do."
The illegitimate son of the Song family took his mother's surname and was called Tang Zexing. Back then, Song's father was tricked into having a relationship with Tang Zexing's mother, but Tang Zexing's mother was not willing.
After the relationship, Song's father directly settled the matter with a check for 100,000 yuan. Tang Zexing's mother naturally did not want the money.
Later, Tang Zexing's mother became pregnant and was expelled from school. She returned to her hometown and gave birth to Tang Zexing.
Tang Zeyu's mother also did not intend to let Tang Zexing have any contact with the Song family.
Until six years ago, Tang Zexing's mother was diagnosed with cancer, and the cost of chemotherapy drained the Tang family's money. Tang Zexing had no way to find the Song family, hoping that the Song family could save his mother.
Unfortunately, Tang Zexing was unlucky. He did not meet Song's father but met Song's mother. When Song's mother saw Tang, who was basically a copy of Song's father, her face turned pale.
After a simple investigation, Song's mother found out Tang Zexing's identity. Not to mention giving Tang Zexing money, she directly drove Tang Zexing out of North City.
Tang Zexing's mother did not receive treatment and died of cancer the following year.
Tang Zexing has been dependent on his mother since he was a child. The Song family killed his mother. No one hates the Song family more than him. He hates Song's mother for not saving them and driving them out of North City. He hates Song's father for ruining his mother's life.
"Is Tang Zexing back for revenge this time?" Lin Yan was a little curious.
"Well, to be precise, we are partners. Tang Zexing can't overthrow the Song family, and I..."
Lu Jinghuai paused and explained.
"The Song family is very cautious, and I can't find any evidence for the time being."
What happened back then happened too long ago, and Lu Jinghuai was young at the time and didn't suspect the Song family, which led to the destruction of all the evidence.
Over the years, the Song family has not done anything illegal, and Song's father has become more and more cautious.
Originally, he could still find out something through Song Jingya, but now that she and Lin Yan have expressed their feelings, he can no longer contact Song Jingya.
As Song's father's illegitimate son, Tang Zexing would be more likely to gain Song's father's trust than Lu Jinghuai.
Lin Yan instantly understood what Lu Jinghuai meant, and the two of them stopped talking about this topic.
…
Lin Yan also did not forget what she promised her mother's sister-in-law last time.
On the second weekend of Lu Jinghuai's business trip, she said goodbye to her sister-in-law from Lin's mother's family and prepared to set off for Lin's mother's family, that is, the Zhang family. After all, she was going to visit her grandmother, and it was not necessary to go empty-handed to an elder like her uncle.
Lin Yan didn't know what she needed to prepare, but Uncle Chen was at home, so he naturally made all the arrangements.
Zhang's house, in Lin Yan's memory, the original owner came here once when she just returned to the Lin family. When Lin's mother's biological mother, the old lady of the Zhang family, saw Lin Yan, she sighed a few times and gave Lin Yan a jade bracelet.
Later, Lin Yan married Lu Jinghuai, and she never saw the Zhang family again except at Lin's mother's banquet.
Before leaving, Lu Yingqian heard that they were going to Zhang's house and planned to go with them. The little girl spoke seriously with a tense face.
"What if my sister-in-law gets bullied when she goes there alone? I can help her in any way I can."
In Lu Yingqian's opinion, Lin Yan's mother and sister both bullied Lin Yan, and the Zhang family, as Lin Yan's mother's family, must not have been nice to Lin Yan either.
If Lin Yan went alone, the Zhang family would bully her alone, and Lu Yingqian was very worried.
Lin Yan understood Lu Yingqian's thoughts and was touched, but she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Don't worry, I'm the wife of the Lu family now. The Zhang family won't dare to offend me."
Lu Yingqian hesitated for a long time and could only nod: "Sister-in-law, if they bully you, just come back and we will complain to my brother."
Lin Yan nodded with a smile.
Naturally, the Zhang family wouldn't be as brainless as Lin's mother. The Zhang family invited Lin Yan to dinner not to offend her, but to ease the relationship.
Mrs. Zhang, Lin's mother's sister-in-law, got up early in the morning to prepare, always paying attention to the movements outside, and would stick her head out to see when she heard the sound of a car.
When Lin Yan came, Mrs. Zhang just opened the door and greeted her with a smile. When she saw what Lin Yan was holding in her hand, she said helplessly.
"Why did you bring so many things with you when you came back?"
Lin Yan smiled and called out "Auntie" but didn't say anything else. She handed the gift in her hand to the aunt beside her.
The two entered the living room and sat beside Old Lady Zhang. The son and daughter of the Zhang family also stood up and greeted them, "Sister Yanyan."
Lin Yan also smiled and responded briefly before looking at Mrs. Zhang: "Grandma."
Mrs. Lin was conceived by Mrs. Zhang's youngest daughter when she was almost forty years old. She treated her like a treasure, but this also cultivated her selfish character.
So when she thought of the rumors outside and what Mrs. Zhang had said last time about what she saw and heard at Mrs. Lin’s birthday party, Mrs. Zhang held Lin Yan’s hand, feeling guilty and uncomfortable.
"Your mother is confused."
Old Mrs. Zhang was also a smart person. She didn't say anything like asking Lin Yan not to hate Lin's mother. She just shook her head helplessly, sighed a few times, and didn't continue the topic.
Lin Yan naturally would not respond. After all, Lin's mother was Mrs. Zhang's most beloved daughter and her mother. Mrs. Zhang could say a few words, but it was not appropriate for her to say more.
Mrs. Zhang started talking about other topics and couldn't help but talk about children.
"You two have been married for a while now, it's time to put children on the agenda. Having a child between husband and wife truly solidifies their relationship."
Old Madam Zhang also heard that Lin Yan and Lu Jinghuai were in a good relationship now, but the relationships in wealthy families were unpredictable. She had also heard about the affairs between Lu Jinghuai and the girl from the Song family, so having a child would be more secure.
Lin Yan knew that Mrs. Zhang was doing this for her own good, so she nodded and said, "We are also considering the child's matter."
Finally, Zhang's father came back, and the family sat at the dinner table and had a quiet meal.
"I saw you liked it last time I came back, so I asked the kitchen to make it again today." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile.
The last time Mrs. Zhang mentioned was naturally the time when the original owner just returned to the Lin family and came to the Zhang family to recognize people.
Two of the dishes were indeed the flavors the original owner liked, and they also suited Lin Yan's taste.
After lunch, Mrs. Zhang was old after all.
Mrs. Zhang's two children were accompanying Lin Yan in the living room.
