Nan Zhi didn't answer her son. She turned around and saw Lin Zhi going out through the French window. The little girl walking towards her was the one that Fu Lanchen had taken to the hotel restaurant yesterday morning.
"Mom, that sister is that aunt's child."
When her son's voice rang out, Nan Zhi looked over with eyes filled with jealousy.
At first, she couldn't get married to Fu Lanchen, but she didn't expect that a woman with a worse background than her could marry him. She even used a secret marriage to maintain the marriage.
Lin Zhi, she might not be so indestructible. Every day without a wedding proved that she hadn't earned the Fu family's approval. In that case, perhaps she still had a chance. With both of them having a child, and given her and Fu Lanchen's past, it was definitely Lin Zhi who would be the one to retreat in disgrace, while she would eventually return to Fu Lanchen.

When Lin Zhi came out, he saw Wen Yi and Sarah walking in this direction from the amusement park, followed by two tall and strong men in black.
Guessing that it was the bodyguard arranged by Fu Lanchen, Lin Zhi suddenly felt warm in his heart.
"Mommy."
When Sarah saw Lin Zhi, she let go of Wen Yi's hand and ran towards Lin Zhi happily.
Lin Zhi squatted down and stretched out his arms.
The mother and daughter hugged each other, and Wen Yi walked closer, "Sister Andy."
Lin Zhi picked up Sarah and looked at Wen Yi, "Thank you for bringing her out to play."
"Sister Andy, you're welcome."
Wen Yi followed obediently behind.
When they got back to the car, Lin Zhi saw that she had something to say and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wen Yi cleared her throat and said a little stiffly: "Sister Andy, if you want me to follow you, I'll be your assistant."
So that's why.
Lin Zhi raised his eyebrows, "This is not the place to chat."
We got in the car together and went back to the hotel.
At noon, Fu Lanchen did not come back. Lin Zhi knew that a person of his status would probably find a job no matter where he went. After all, the Fu Group had many branches across the country.
So, she ordered lunch herself and asked Wen Yi to eat with her.
On the way, Lin Ying called.
Lin Zhi left Sarah and Wen Yi in the outer living room, while he went into the inner room and closed the door.
After the call was connected, Lin Ying was silent.
Finally, it was Lin Zhi who spoke first, "Where are you?"
There was a questioning tone in her voice, but more of it was the concern of an older sister for her younger sister.
Lin Ying spoke softly, "Sister, I'm back in Fengcheng. I want to ask you for a favor. Can you talk to the Sheng family on my parents' behalf? My mother... you know her temper..."
Hearing her embarrassment, Lin Zhi did not hesitate, "When?"
"Any of these days is fine, if you have free time..."
"I need to check my schedule. I'll let you know after that."
"Chinese New Year is coming soon, aren't you going to take a holiday?"
Lin Ying's voice was soft, and every word she spoke was a careful test.
Because she is not her biological sister, and she has a bad relationship with her mother, she feels very awkward being caught in the middle.
“There might be a holiday.”
Lin Zhi couldn't give her a definite answer for the time being.
After the voice call was hung up, Lin Zhi checked his upcoming work schedule.
David had offered her a role as the third female lead in a period drama, filming in Hengcheng. Furthermore, a variety show she had recently filmed had been scheduled, and she had to film a promotional video for it, so she would have to return to Fengcheng almost tonight.
"Sister Andy..."
When Lin Zhi came out of the bedroom, Wen Yi saw that she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Lin Zhi didn't delay any longer and sat down at the dining table. "Then follow me. However, the salary may not be as high as before."
It used to be Yu Lan Film and Television, and now it is a small workshop. There is a big difference between the two.
Wen Yi didn't mind, "It's okay."
——
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Fu Lanchen returned home in the wind and snow.
Lin Zhi had already packed up, "I have to go, I have something to do when I get back."
"Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"
"Lin Ying ran away from home and is now back in Fengcheng. She needs me to help her meet the Sheng family."
"What's going on?"
"My sister is in love with Sheng Yan's brother and is planning to get married, but her mother, He Chunni, disagrees. They even went to the police station because of this."
Speaking of this, Lin Zhi sighed.
Fu Lanchen listened to her, made arrangements immediately, and flew to Fengcheng.
Lin Zhi returns to Fengcheng and sees Sheng Yan's brother, Sheng Shang, the boy Lin Ying is determined to marry.
She is fair and pretty, and her eyes and eyebrows look a little like Sheng Yan.
Although they are not born from the same mother, they still have the same father.
It was afternoon and the sun was shining brightly in Fengcheng.
Sitting in the living room of the Champs Elysées villa, Lin Ying was relaxed, but Sheng Shang seemed reserved.
Lin Zhi brought two cups of tea and looked at the boy with hunched shoulders.
"Where did you two go before?"
"Yuncheng is considered a tour."
Lin Ying interrupted and looked at Sheng Shang's reaction.
Sheng Shang nodded.
Lin Zhi returned to the topic, "What is your family's attitude towards you?"
She asked Sheng Shang.
Lin Ying turned her head, and Sheng Shang said, "My family has no objection, but..."
Having said this, she lowered her head.
Lin Ying held his hand, a look of guilt on her face.
Lin Zhi thought of He Chunni's face and couldn't help but sneer, "She really has nothing better to do than eat."
Although what he said was unpleasant to hear, Lin Zhi still did not complain for the sake of Lin Ying's face.
But she was also quite puzzled.
People like He Chunni love money more than anything else. The Sheng family is not an ordinary family. Why would she oppose her daughter marrying into a wealthy family?
"Sister, my mother is getting older now, and her temper is getting weirder. You know, even after I graduate, I still have to listen to her in everything."
Every time Lin Ying mentioned her mother, she looked dejected and her eyes were dull.
He Chunni's dominance is obvious to all. Her husband died early, and she took Lin Ying with her to marry Lin Gaoyuan, managing the entire household. Later, when Lin Zhi entered the entertainment industry, she instigated the seriously ill Lin Gaoyuan in order to extort money, which indirectly accelerated his illness and eventually led to his death.
"You don't have to listen to her in everything. For example, you did the right thing by running away from home with Sheng Shang this time. You see, she still can't do anything to you."
Lin Zhi's words made Lin Ying hang her head, "Sister, let's not talk about her anymore."
Lin Zhi sighed, "Okay. When are we going to meet the Sheng family? Tomorrow?"
Sheng Shang was anxious, "In the evening."
It seemed that she had not discussed it with Lin Ying. When she spoke, Lin Ying looked at him in surprise.
Lin Zhi looked at the two of them and instantly came up with an idea, "Then do it at night."
——
night.
As soon as it got dark, Lin Zhi set off for the restaurant that Sheng Shang had booked.
A low-key and high-end private kitchen.
“The food here is good and the environment is nice.”
When she arrived, Sheng Shang met her at the door and explained.
Lin Zhi didn't care. She felt comfortable in a place like this.
However, she never expected that there were paparazzi lurking outside the kitchen, and they happened to capture her and Sheng Shang lingering outside the store for a while.
"My parents just arrived too."
Sheng Shang led her through an antique corridor and into a row of carved ancient houses.
