Lin Wanwan arrived in Beijing just in time for lunch, and called back beforehand.
Seeing her parents, the Xu family, and her maternal grandfather's family all there, Lin Wanwan felt a warmth in her heart.
Yuanyuan was the first to burst into the house in a prank.
"Grandma, Grandpa and Grandma, I miss you so much. Great-grandpa and Great-grandma, do you miss me?"
The group of people in the room hugged him and showered him with affection.
Lin Wanwan saw Tuanzi in the corner, waved to him, and beckoned him over.
"Tuanzi, don't you miss Mommy?"
Tuanzi is already nine years old this year, but Lin Wanwan still can't help but treat him like a three or four-year-old child.
Tuanzi hesitated for a moment, then stood in front of Lin Wanwan, looking down at her.
"What's wrong? Is something bothering you? Tell your mom."
Tuanzi lowered her head and after a while whispered, "Mom, I'm sorry, it was my sister who protected my brother."
"Tuanzi, why do you say that?" Lin Wanwan hugged him.
"It's because I didn't protect my little brother that he was taken away by someone else. Mom, will you hate me? I know I'm not your child. I was born to Dad and another woman."
Lin Wanwan always knew that he was sensitive, so she always cared about him more than Yuanyuan.
Lin Wanwan led him to the next meeting room and had him sit next to her.
"Tuanzi, look at Mommy."
Tuanzi slowly raised her head to look at her, her face covered in tears.
"Mom, will you hate me?"
Lin Wanwan's eyes immediately welled up with tears. "Tuanzi, your mom and dad will never hate you. If you and your brother encounter danger again in the future, I hope you can protect yourself first. You are also my most beloved baby."
Tuanzi looked at her with tears in her eyes, "But your little brother is missing. You and Dad are very sad, Grandma is very sad, and Grandma on your mother's side is very sad."
"Tuanzi, we will be very worried and sad if either you or Yuanyuan is in danger. So Mom hopes that you will always protect yourself first, no matter what. If our Tuanzi becomes stronger in the future and can protect your younger brother and us while protecting yourself, then Mom will be very proud."
Just like Dad, Dad is very strong. He can protect not only Mom, but also you and Grandma. But if he didn't care about his own safety and got hurt, how could he protect us? So Mom hopes that you will always prioritize your own safety. It wasn't your fault that your brother was taken away; it was the fault of those bad people.
"Mom, you really won't hate me?"
"Tuanzi, no matter who your father had with you, you are still my son. Mom has raised you from a baby to this age, writing stories for you, drawing picture books for you, and teaching you to speak and write. How can you say that you are not Mom's child? Don't you want Mom anymore?"
Lin Wanwan felt terrible. She didn't know how to explain to Tuanzi that he wasn't her biological son.
From the very beginning, all she wanted was for Tuanzi to grow up in a loving environment so that even if she found out later that she wasn't her biological child, she could accept it calmly.
Tuanzi went up and hugged her, "No, Mommy, I love Mommy the most."
Lin Wanwan pulled him away and looked at him solemnly, saying, "Tuanzi, except that you didn't come out of my belly, you are just like Yuanyuan. Mommy loves you very much, and I love Yuanyuan very much too. No matter what, Mommy will never hate you because you are not my biological child. Yuanyuan, is there something Mommy did wrong that makes you feel this way?"
Tuanzi immediately shook her head, "I'm sorry, Mom."
"Tuanzi, you don't need to keep saying sorry. You didn't do anything wrong. It's not your fault that your little brother was taken away by bad people."
Tuanzi nodded vigorously.
"Tuanzi, Mom hopes you can be happy, strong inside, able to protect yourself, and do what you love."
Lin Wanwan wiped away his tears, "How about Mom takes you to wash up?"
"Who told you I'm not your mother?"
Tuanzi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I overheard my great-aunt talking to my grandmother."
Great-aunt? Lu Feng's aunt?
After finishing her meal, Lin Wanwan comforted the two children and went back to her room.
Lu Feng looked at her and asked, "Does Yuanyuan still sleep with her brother?"
"Yeah, he's bragging to his brother about how he bravely fought off thugs."
Lu Feng couldn't stop laughing. "Yuanyuan's personality is very similar to yours, optimistic and cheerful."
After washing up, Lin Wanwan hugged him and asked, "When did your aunt come?"
"Aunt? I don't know her, Mom has never mentioned her."
"She was talking nonsense at home, and Tuanzi overheard it. I comforted her for a long time today. No matter how annoying she is, if she dares to talk nonsense again, I won't give you and Mom any face. The more she wants something, the more I'll make her lose it all."
Lin Wanwan was a little angry.
Lu Feng comforted her, "I'll handle it. Our family has nothing to do with theirs anymore. She used to covet the family property left by Grandpa, and now she's after your company. She thinks the company belongs to me and my brother, and that if you manage the company, you'll run off with all the money. She's probably gossiping to my mom again."
“If she has nothing to do, I don’t mind finding her something to do. I’ve met your cousin a few times before. He’s a good-for-nothing, and he’s even keeping a mistress and has two illegitimate children. If she comes to the house again and spouts nonsense, I don’t mind keeping her busy.”
Lu Feng hugged her and laughed, "Alright, then I'll leave it to my wife to handle."
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Go to sleep, you have to go to work tomorrow."
Lu Feng lowered his head and kissed her. "Go to sleep."
The next day, Lin Wanwan got up very early, ate breakfast, sent the two children to school, and then went to work.
As soon as she sat down, Li Muzi came over and asked, "Is everything alright at home?"
"It's alright, thank you for doing so much for me these past two days."
"Don't mention it. With our relationship, all you have to do is let me gossip a little."
"What's there to gossip about? You woman, all you ever think about is gossip."
Li Zimu leaned closer and lowered his voice, saying, "Could you tell me if Director Cheng likes you?"
Lin Wanwan rolled her eyes. "Can you say something reliable, my dear sister?"
"How is he unreliable? Look at our Director Cheng, what a workaholic he is! For you, he actually gave up his job to accompany you to find your child. Tell me, what else is this but love?"
"Can you stop talking nonsense? Stop fantasizing! We're family, don't disrespect our relationship."
Li Zimu looked at Lin Wanwan and shook his head, "My silly sister, the boundaries of the word 'family' are very blurred. You and your husband are not only lovers but also family now, right? You and Director Zancheng are family, but could you be family too?"
Lin Wanwan glared at her, "Don't talk nonsense. You can mess with me, but if it affects Director Cheng, don't blame me for turning against you."
Li Zimu immediately raised his hand, "Okay, okay, I won't gossip anymore, alright?"
