Lin Yi woke up from her nap, tidied herself up, and went downstairs. She was surprised to see her adopted daughter returning so late.
He asked with concern, "What happened?"
Lin Yiyi's adopted daughter was lost in thought about the phone call when she suddenly heard her adoptive mother's voice, which startled her.
She panicked: "N-nothing...it's nothing!"
Then, feeling guilty, he made up an excuse: "Mommy, my clothes accidentally got dirty, I need to go to the bathroom!"
After saying that, he hurriedly fled without waiting for Lin Yiyi's reply.
Seeing this, Lin Yi's eyes flickered slightly.
Just then, the driver came in to inquire about tomorrow's itinerary, and Lin Yiyi called him over.
Lin Yi asked him, "Has anything unusual happened along the way?"
The driver paused, his eyes darting around.
Lin Yi's expression immediately turned serious: "Speak! I didn't pay you such high salaries to be freeloaders! If this leads to any harm to Miss, none of you have thought this through!"
The driver scratched his head nervously and said in a low voice, "Nothing happened on the road, but while I was waiting for someone at the hotel entrance, I overheard some gossip. A few doormen were talking about the young lady's background, saying..."
"Shut up!"
Lin Yiyi was furious. She pointed to the door and said, "Get out! No one is allowed to mention this again!"
The driver was startled and quickly looked down to hide the disappointment in his eyes.
Even after the driver left, Lin Yiyi was still at the peak of her anger, and she was furious.
She absolutely forbade anyone to mention her adopted daughter's background!
Whenever this matter is brought up, she can't help but think of the child who was lost because of her, and her ill-fated relationship with Chef Qiao that can never be severed.
She hates it!
Hating herself for her carelessness, she had sent the child all the way to the Qiao family's hometown in a fit of anger, and then left the child alone.
What I hate even more is that I can't control my rationality and am too easily driven by emotions. Even after all these years, and I claim to have started a new life, I still impulsively rush into things whenever I hear even the slightest news about someone surnamed Qiao.
Even though there's clearly no possibility for them anymore, they still...
Lin Yiyi sat on the sofa, looking pained, and rubbed her temples.
She's so tired and feels so bad; she probably really needs to rest for a while...
Lin Yiyi's adopted daughter regained her senses in the bathroom and decided to go downstairs to make amends for her strange behavior earlier.
She was standing upstairs and witnessed the scene, and couldn't help but clench her fists.
Is her background something she finds difficult to talk about?
Is it because she's not her mother's biological daughter?
snort!
Just like Aunt Cheng said, Mommy never had a biological daughter in this world. She accompanied Mommy for more than 20 years, and everything she received in return was only right and deserved.
She was determined not to let those outsiders who didn't know the full story get away with it!
Lin Yiyi's adopted daughter took a deep breath and stood upstairs for a while longer.
Seeing that things had calmed downstairs, she turned around and brewed a pot of tea.
...
As Lin Yiyi recalled the bits and pieces that had happened in the past and present, she felt increasingly distressed, and she leaned back on the sofa in her distress.
At that moment, Lin Yiyi's adopted daughter came over carrying a pot of tea.
"Mommy, you look scary! The family doctor was right, you're not suited for long trips. Here, this is a remedy I got from the family doctor before you left. Drink some to help you feel better!"
Lin Yiyi had a splitting headache, as if what her family doctor said was true: she wasn't suited for long trips. So why did she come in the first place...?
hiss!
Thinking about these things.
My head hurts like it's being stabbed with countless needles.
