I don’t know if it was because of the emotions at night or some other reason, but Gu Zhiyi thought of too many memories of his time with Lin Yan.
He remembered that they had agreed to apply for the university in the north city, but because of the Wang family's disturbance, Lin Yan entered the examination room with a fever and did not perform well.
In the end, when Lin Yan's results came out, she did not reach the target score and chose an ordinary second-tier university with low scores. From then on, the two were separated by a city.
After graduation, Lin Yan didn't want to come back and stayed in the city where she went to college. He originally planned to go to Lin Yan's city to find her after arranging everything, and his parents also supported him.
However, an accident happened again. The Wang family tricked Lin Yan back to the town and locked her up at home in order to exchange her for the betrothal money.
Gu Zhiyi had just graduated and emptied her savings, but still couldn't get enough for 200,000 yuan. Thanks to her parents who also felt sorry for Lin Yan, she was able to scrape together 200,000 yuan with their help to replace Lin Yan.
Gu Zhiyi didn't need Lin Yan to repay him for anything, nor could he use the money to control Lin Yan. Even if he had any ulterior motives, he would not take advantage of her.
However, Lin Yan took the initiative to find Gu Zhiyi, hoping that Gu Zhiyi would marry her, because if Lin Yan did not get married, the Wang family would not let go of a daughter who could be exchanged for a betrothal gift.
Gu Zhiyi remained silent. Shamefully, he did not refuse again and even looked forward to the wedding date. He thought that if Lin Yan did not like this city after the wedding, he could leave with her.
However, just as he was fantasizing about a beautiful future, on the eve of the wedding banquet, Lin Yan's biological parents came to find him, and it turned out that Lin Yan was not the daughter of the Wang family.
The Lin family is obviously a wealthy family. After suffering for more than 20 years, Lin Yan can finally live a good life.
At that time, Gu Zhiyi was really happy for Lin Yan, so he suppressed all his loss and regret and wished Lin Yan well.
It seemed like he and Lin Yan had been missing each other constantly in this life, and each time they were just a little bit off, leaving only regret in the end.
Gu Zhiyi accepted all of this calmly, and all he wanted was for Lin Yan to start a new life.
But he didn't expect that the one who accepted the so-called new life was not his Lin Yan, and his Lin Yan's life and death was unknown.
Gu Zhiyi took a deep breath, and the look in his eyes deepened.
Now he didn't know how many people would speculate and suspect that Lin Yan had been replaced by someone else, but he knew that he was probably the only one in the world who could and would look for Lin Yan.
Gu Zhiyi took a deep breath and calmed himself down. As an ordinary person, there was very little he could do. He could only collect details from the most limited information.
Gu Zhiyi wondered where the person who replaced Lin Yan, who looked exactly like Lin Yan, came from.
The most important thing is, does the Lin family know that Lin Yan is not the original Lin Yan? What is the Lin family’s attitude?
Gu Zhiyi frowned slightly and thought of Lin Jiao who "facilitated" the release of this inspection report.
He was not a fool, so he naturally saw Lin Jiao's dissatisfaction with Lin Yan. He knew that Lin Jiao was targeting Lin Yan, and even knew most of the reasons.
The test results came out, Lin Yan has no blood relationship with the Lin family. Even if the Lin family doesn't know that Lin Yan is not a member of the Lin family, Lin Jiao should be eager to reveal the news, right?
Logically speaking, the Lin family should know by now that Lin Yan is not their child, so why hasn't the Lin family made any move?
Gu Zhiyi was rarely confused. He hesitated for a moment, then calmed down and dialed Lin Jiao's number without hesitation.
In the early days of their "cooperation", Lin Jiao readily handed her phone number to Gu Zhiyi, but Gu Zhiyi rarely called.
So when she received Gu Zhiyi's call, she was surprised and a little excited.
"Mr. Gu, did you call me specifically to say something?" Lin Jiao raised her eyebrows while speaking.
"The test results are out. We should know the results. Didn't you tell the Lin family about your adoptive parents?" Gu Zhiyi asked directly without any nonsense.
There was a hint of displeasure in Lin Jiao's eyes. Ever since it was revealed that she was not the biological daughter of the Lin family, she hated the word "adoptive parents" the most. However, since Gu Zhiyi was still useful to her, she was willing to deal with it to some extent.
"My parents naturally guessed something, but I couldn't tell them directly."
Lin Jiao paused for a moment, feeling somewhat embarrassed but still speaking.
"It's useless to tell my parents exactly. Compared to a daughter with little affection, my parents will only choose the wife of the Lu family."
"The Lin family needs a Madam Lu now. If I expose everything, it will not benefit our Lin family, so they won't do anything to Lin Jiao. In fact... my parents will only be unhappy and may even help Lin Yan clean up the mess."
Gu Zhiyi understood what Lin Jiao said, and he knew that Lin Jiao was right.
The Lin family needs Mrs. Lu, not Lin Yan.
Gu Zhiyi's eyes darkened in an instant, and became even darker and unclear.
…
Before New Year's Day, Lin Yan also received the news that Liu Xiuying's chemotherapy treatment was over and she needed to be discharged from the hospital first. The next time she would come would be after the New Year.
Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan went together to see Teacher Gu and Liu Xiuying off. Before leaving, Lin Yan was prepared to face Gu Zhiyi.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhiyi was not there on the day Xiuying was discharged from the hospital. Lin Yan was a little surprised and confused for a moment.
Gu Zhiyi firmly believed that she had replaced the original owner and wanted to find something wrong with her. How could this rare opportunity not come?
However, Lin Yan did not plan to ask Teacher Gu and his wife, she just helped to pack up, and Lu Jinghuai also went to help with the discharge procedures.
After finishing everything, it was almost noon. The four of them went to have a simple meal. Finally, Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan sent Teacher Gu and his wife to the bus.
After seeing off Teacher Gu and his wife, Lin Yan temporarily put the Gu family behind her.
Because the wedding date they had agreed on was not long after New Year's Day, and as the day circled in red on the calendar approached, she felt an inexplicable panic.
Tong Miaomiao, who spent the most time with Lin Yan during the day, naturally noticed something was wrong with Lin Yan and asked a few more questions.
Lin Yan did not hide it and lowered her voice to briefly explain the situation. When Tong Miaomiao was proud, Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan were going to have another wedding in about half a month.
Tong Miaomiao couldn't help but blurt out, "Mr. Lu, isn't this too romantic?"
"Keep your voice down!" Lin Yan glared at her. She didn't want to become the topic of discussion.
Tong Miaomiao quickly looked around and saw that no one noticed her. She cleared her cough a few times and lowered her voice to help Lin Yan analyze the situation.
"Are you suffering from pre-marital phobia?"
Pre-wedding phobia? She and Lu Jinghuai were already married and had a wedding, so how could she be suffering from pre-wedding phobia?
Lin Yan subconsciously said what she was thinking, and Tong Miaomiao glanced at her.
"The last time you and Mr. Lu got married, was that even considered a marriage? At best, it was a marriage of convenience."
"Marriage is about feelings, and arranged marriage is about conditions being right, so I guess in your subconscious reaction this is your first marriage."
