Lin Wanwan didn't wipe away her tears until Gu Bei brought Qin Mu and Mu Lin in.
Seeing her red eyes, Gu Bei smiled and said, "Who bullied our little princess? Why did you make her cry?"
Lin Wanwan composed herself and retorted, "I'm crying for you. Grandma gave me all her belongings. You can just cry your heart out."
Everyone was pleased to see her witty banter with Gu Bei.
Xu Zhang laughed and said, "Never mind him, you can have Mom's from now on too."
Lin Wanwan tilted her head and asked Gu Bei, "If you're too embarrassed to cry, do you want me to help you cry again? But this time it will cost money, it's tiring to cry."
"Hahaha, okay, let me know how much you'll charge."
“I’ve changed my mind. I don’t want to help you anymore. Go find someone else, find Bai Ying. If she can’t cry, I’ll pinch her for you.”
Bai Ying laughed and tickled her, "Who's going to cry? I'm not like you, a crybaby."
Lin Wanwan shrugged. "So what if you're a crybaby? I can be flexible."
Qian Qian was happy to see so many people in her family.
"Qin Mu hasn't been seen for many years. Why hasn't he come over in the last two years? Is he tired of Grandma's nagging?"
Qin Mu said kindly, "Grandma, I'm innocent. The hospital is just too busy. I wish you would come to me from the rooftop. This is Mu Lin. Wanwan, he, and I grew up together. He only met you once or twice when he was little. Now he goes to the same school as Wanwan."
"Really? Then you're good kids too. You should help each other out when you're in the same school."
Mu Lin nodded obediently, "I know, Grandma. I brought some snacks and fruit today. I just had Auntie cut them up. Would you and Grandpa like some?"
"Sweetie, don't be so polite next time you come, just come and eat."
Xu Zhe took a bite of melon and asked, "What is Mu Lin studying?"
"Grandpa, I also studied law. I was in the same college as Wanwan."
“That’s great, that’s great. His senior brother will be here soon, you can chat. You young people should communicate and exchange ideas more. The future belongs to you, your grandfather is getting old.”
As soon as Cheng Jinyan entered, he heard Xu Zhe say, "Teacher, you're too modest. I just heard that our department wants to invite you back to take charge of the overall situation."
“I’m an old man, what would I do back there? It’s your time now, you young people. I’m too old.”
Lin Wanwan smiled and said to him, "Grandpa, you're not trying to slack off, are you? Saying you're old, but you don't look old at all. Do you not want to teach me anymore?"
"Hahaha, you're the best at sweet-talking people. I'll teach you, of course I'll teach you. You like it and you're talented, so Grandpa will definitely teach you. Just don't complain about the hard work."
Lin Wanwan leaned on Qian Qian's shoulder and said, "I'm not complaining about being tired. It's Grandpa who's complaining about being tired, saying he's too old to do it anymore."
"Isn't that right? Teacher, you're not trying to shirk your responsibilities, are you? Why don't you come back and take charge? You're still young."
Xu Zhe pointed at the two of them and said, "You two wouldn't have conspired together to persuade me, would you?"
Lin Wanwan raised her hand and said, "Your Honor, I am innocent! I just learned of this news."
Everyone was amused by her. Lu Feng sat next to Xu Zhe with the child in his arms, chatting with Xu Zhe from time to time.
Lin Wanwan pulled Zheng Yan to chat with her father, "Dad, this is Zheng Yan."
Zheng Yan greeted him politely, "Good boy, come home for dinner with Wanwan whenever you have time, don't be shy."
Zheng Yan nodded, "Thank you, Uncle."
"Dad, does your company offer preferential policies for self-employed individuals?"
"Why are you asking this?" Lin Jianbang asked curiously.
"I'm not doing anything, just looking into it. There are so many national policies these days, I want to learn more about them. Didn't Grandpa say that we should also understand the economy?"
Lin Jianbang nodded without suspicion, "There are indeed preferential policies."
"Tell us about it, we're both very studious, we brought our notebooks with us."
Although Zheng Yan didn't know what to do, she listened attentively and took notes like Lin Wanwan.
After Lin Jianbang finished speaking, Lin Wanwan hugged him and said sweetly, "Daddy, you're so amazing."
Lin Jianbang was both amused and exasperated. "Don't try to sweet-talk me. Do you want something from me?"
"Not yet," Lin Wanwan said with a smile.
Lin Jianbang said irritably, "Little fox."
"Dad, is your new workplace ready yet?"
"Not yet. Some specific details still need to wait for official documents. Also, as I just told you, don't do anything rash. The country does encourage private business operations, but specific issues and documents still need to be improved. So don't do anything rash."
Seeing that the two had something to talk about, Zheng Yan went to chat with Bai Ying herself.
"Dad, can you have some faith in me? I don't cause trouble anymore."
Lin Jianbang glanced at his daughter, then at Lu Feng next to Xu Zhe, and asked, "Did you two have a fight?"
Lin Wanwan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?"
“You are my daughter. I have doted on you for eighteen years. Even when you were rebellious before, your mother and I always indulged you, afraid that you would suffer any grievances. Do you think we can’t see through your forced spirits today?”
Lin Wanwan's eyes reddened again. "Dad, really, no. I'm all grown up now and I can handle my own things."
Lin Jianbang sighed and patted her head. "If you've been wronged, tell me and your mother. Dad can support you and your baby. Don't overthink it. We were so happy to see you two always together."
"Don't blame your mother. She only wants you to marry Lu Feng because she thinks he has a bright future. If you don't like him, just tell your parents. Don't suffer in silence."
Lin Wanwan lowered her head and shed tears. "Dad, I didn't. I just couldn't control my emotions. It might be because of the pregnancy. Didn't Grandma just say that?"
Lin Jianbang wiped away her tears. "You know what's going on. If you're unhappy, come home. Your mom misses you terribly and talks about you every day. She's worried you're not doing well at school."
Lin Wanwan wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Don't you miss me?"
"How could I not want to? It's really strange to suddenly have someone missing from the house, and no one to cling to my arm and act cute. I'll go home and stay for a couple of days next time I have a holiday."
"Okay, I'll go home when I have a holiday. I miss you and Mom too."
Qin Mu came over to greet Lin Jianbang, "Uncle Lin, it's been a long time since I visited you and Auntie. How is Niemining?"
"It's been a long time since we last met. I went to your house to wish you a Happy New Year this year, but you weren't there."
"The hospital is just too busy. How did I end up becoming a doctor?" Qin Mu said with a wry smile.
"Mu Lin looks much more energetic than before. It's been two years since I last saw you."
"Does your uncle still remember me?"
"Of course I remember. You were always bullied by Wanwan, and you always gave in to her."
"I've been accompanying my mom around looking for my maternal grandfather for the past two years. Thankfully, we found him. Now I don't have to run around anymore, and I can finally focus on my studies."
