"good."
Lin Xiangyu, who had been waiting for Min Enjing to tell the truth, spoke in a firm tone without hesitation.
At this time, the two had walked into a nearby park. Min Enjing stopped, turned to face Lin Xiangyu, and said with tears in her eyes: "Xiangyu, Auntie was deceived."
Min Eun-jung's expression and what she said at this time made Lin Xiangyu furious, but he still controlled his emotions and comforted her: "Aunt Eun-jung, don't cry, speak slowly."
Min Enjing's voice suddenly trembled: "Xiangyu, all of Auntie's savings... were cheated away"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly covered her face with her hands, and the sobs mixed with tears that flowed out from between her fingers, pouring out all the despair and helplessness she had felt during this period of time.
Seeing this, Lin Xiangyu instinctively hugged Min Enjing into his arms and gently stroked her back to comfort her.
Min Enjing burst into tears. At this moment, she had lost the calmness and composure she usually had when taking care of four children. She exuded an aura of fragility and helplessness. Like a wronged little girl, she curled up in Lin Xiangyu's arms, her shoulders still shaking.
Lin Xiangyu didn't say anything, but just held her in his arms, with his palm against her slightly twitching back, again and again, gently comforting her.
After crying for a while, Min Enjing's emotions gradually stabilized. She looked up at Lin Xiangyu and said with a choked voice: "Xiangyu, Auntie is really useless. You think so too, right?"
"That's not the case. Aunt Eunjeong, you raised four of us who have no blood relationship with you. How can you be useless?"
Lin Xiangyu looked at Min Enjing seriously and said, "In my heart, you have always been the most beautiful and greatest woman in the world."
Lin Xiangyu's words were like an arrow that struck Min Enjing's heart. She looked up at Lin Xiangyu's eyes and asked, "Xiangyu... do you really think so?"
"Of course, Aunt Eunjeong, you are the best woman in the world in my heart." Lin Xiangyu lowered his head and looked directly into Min Eunjeong's eyes and said.
The two of them were very close at this moment, their noses almost touching, and their warm breaths intertwined and fell on each other's lips. Min Enjing's heart beat wildly, as if it would burst out of her throat in the next second.
This made her feel a little confused, her breathing became rapid, and she couldn't help swallowing.
Lin Xiangyu was the same. Looking at Min Enjing's lips so close to him, he couldn't help but kiss her.
The last bit of rationality of Min Enjing as an elder allowed her to break free from Lin Xiangyu's arms before Lin Xiangyu kissed her.
Lin Xiangyu's actions just now made the situation awkward.
"Aunt Eunjeong...I..."
Lin Xiangyu wanted to say something, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Min Enjing: "Xiangyu, we are a family, we can't do that kind of thing."
Although Min Enjing said this, her heart was beating as fast as dense drum beats, making her ears buzz.
Lin Xiangyu felt extremely embarrassed at this moment. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Aunt Eunjeong, tell me about the scam."
After what happened just now, Min Enjing's emotions have stabilized.
Lin Xiangyu said this not simply to change the subject, but because he believed that he could help Min Enjing with this matter, so he wanted to hear the details of how she was deceived.
Min Enjing thought Lin Xiangyu was trying to change the subject, and she happened to be planning to do so, so she immediately started to talk:
"I was deceived by my best friend. Since this year, she has often posted some updates about driving luxury cars, traveling, eating big meals, and staying in luxury hotels. I was a little curious, so I asked her: 'Did you win the lottery?'
“She messaged me back and told me that she knew someone who had inside information and had made a lot of money by buying stocks recently.
"We didn't keep in touch for a while after that, until a while ago when she suddenly told me that she was back in Seoul and asked me out for dinner.
"I went there without thinking too much. During the meal, she said she had recently received some inside information and asked me if I wanted to make some money with her.
"I thought that if I made more money, I could give you more help after you graduate, and it would also reduce the pressure you would bear in the future, so I gave the money to her to buy stocks.
"As a result, this week, she suddenly told me that the news was wrong and the stock price had hit rock bottom, and asked me if I wanted to withdraw the little money I had left.
"When I heard the news, I almost collapsed and ran to her house immediately. She told me that she had no other options and she had lost all her money.
“Things had developed to this point, but I still felt something was not right, so I asked her for the stock purchase records, but she couldn’t produce them and kept delaying.
"I couldn't stand it anymore, so I told her that if she couldn't pay me, I would call the police and accuse her of scamming me.
"She ended up telling me straight out that if I called the police, she would have nothing to say to me.
“After I called the police, the security guards ignored me because I couldn’t produce any evidence.
"She asked me to take cash and deliver it to her house. I was so stupid that I didn't realize it was unusual."
Min Enjing recounted the general process of how she was deceived in one breath. Lin Xiangyu listened silently without interrupting.
After Min Enjing finished speaking, she smiled bitterly, looked at Lin Xiangyu and asked, "Auntie, is this stupid?"
Lin Xiangyu shook his head: "It's not that Auntie is stupid, but people nowadays are too bad."
"Xiangyu, all of my savings have been stolen, and I'm too stupid to do anything. What should we do as a family in the future?"
When Min Eun-jeong said this, she broke down and cried again.
When Lin Xiangyu saw Min Enjing crying, he felt extremely distressed and immediately hugged her in his arms.
Min Enjing did not push Lin Xiangyu away because of what had just happened. Instead, she grabbed his clothes tightly, buried her head in Lin Xiangyu's chest, and cried in pain.
It seemed as if he wanted to completely release the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for some time.
While Min Enjing was crying, Lin Xiangyu just kept stroking her back silently, comforting her without saying a word.
Because he knew that he would feel better only if he vented out the grievances in his heart.
It was not until Min Eun-jeong stopped crying that he spoke: "Aunt Eun-jeong, don't be sad. I have a way to get the money back from your best friend."
