It's hard to reason with a damned devil.
Sometimes Lin Qingtong wanted to ignore her, after all, people always have to learn to let go of their desire to help others and respect the fate of others.
But the woman in front of her was, after all, her beloved mother.
For a moment, Lin Qingtong stood there, stunned.
Su Wanjun raised her hand and took Lin Qingtong's hand, offering words of comfort in a seemingly earnest manner.
"Okay, don't be angry anymore. Did you come back today to see me about something?"
She pushed Lin Qingtong toward the bedroom.
Lin Yaochuan, who was already somewhat frightened by Lin Qingtong's beating, immediately became arrogant again when he saw Su Wanjun speaking up for him, and made faces at Lin Qingtong.
Lin Qingtong didn't want to argue with the kid anymore. She came back this time because of the computer.
After entering the bedroom, Lin Qingtong glanced around and asked, "Mom, are you sure you lost my old computer? Where did you lose it? I'll go find it."
Lin Qingtong had already prepared to retrieve the computer, but she didn't expect to hear Su Wanjun's slightly guilty remark.
"Um... I've decided to give the computer you gave to your sister. Jiao Rui needs a computer for college, and the one you bought was quite expensive, so I just gave it to her."
Did you give it to her?
Lin Qingtong was so angry that her hands trembled.
"You gave my computer to Lin Jiaorui without even asking. What if there are important files on it?"
Su Wanjun sat sideways on the bed, not daring to look at Lin Qingtong even once, and stubbornly retorted.
"It's just a computer. You're my own child. I gave it to you, so what? Can't I make the decision?"
"I'll just compensate you."
Her attitude ignited Lin Qingtong's anger. After pacing around in circles for a while, she finally spoke through gritted teeth.
"Do you know that there are very important documents on that computer? Now that Lin Jiaorui has taken them, she could very well use them to do something illegal."
"And if problems arise, they will only trace it back to me."
But Su Wanjun still acted as if she was obsessed with saving face.
"I'm your mother, and this is how you talk to me?"
In that instant, Lin Qingtong felt utterly exhausted; it seemed as if she could never communicate with Su Wanjun.
"Are you only satisfied after you've killed me?"
Upon hearing this, Su Wanjun finally showed signs of panic.
"I, I really didn't mean to. What should I do? I gave her my computer two years ago. You didn't make it clear back then. If I had known there was important data in it, I wouldn't have given it to her."
“When Jiao Rui was about to go to college, I said I would buy her a new one, but she said she didn’t want the old one and that it was better, so I gave her yours.”
She was still reluctant to admit that it was her fault, and instead shifted the blame to others.
Lin Qingtong sighed inwardly.
"Never mind, it's too late now."
"Give me Lin Jiaorui's phone number, I'll ask her."
Lin Qingtong got Lin Jiaorui's phone number and dialed it directly; the other party answered quickly.
"Excuse me, who is this?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong went straight to the point and questioned him.
"Did you take my computer to school two years ago? Where is it? Give it back to me now."
Lin Jiaorui on the other end of the phone snorted coldly and answered reluctantly.
"I threw your computer away a long time ago. It's a pile of junk. What would you need it for?"
"If you want to look, then go look inside the garbage dump."
She immediately slammed down the phone. When Lin Qingtong called back, Lin Jiaorui blocked her number.
Seeing this, Su Wanjun carefully tried to comfort her.
"It's just a computer and some data, didn't you keep a record of it?"
Lin Qingtong pressed her red lips into a tight line. If she really had a record of it, there would be no need for her to keep asking here.
That competition was a spur-of-the-moment decision; I never expected to win.
Even his name was chosen randomly after he lost a bet with a friend.
Su Qian, so what if you lost money?
Lin Qingtong only felt a faint pain between her eyebrows.
If the information is indeed in Lin Jiaorui's hands, then the person impersonating her must be Lin Jiaorui. Tomorrow, Shen Tinghe will meet with that fake Su Qian.
We'll see when the time comes.
The next day, Lin Qingtong arrived at the company early in the morning and followed Shen Tinghe closely.
Shen Tinghe paused, his deep gaze questioning him.
"What are you doing following me? Are you going to come with me to the restroom?"
Lin Qingtong gave a bright, radiant smile as she explained.
"Am I not your assistant? I should follow you wherever you go."
Upon hearing Lin Qingtong's words, Shen Tinghe immediately understood what she was thinking, but simply gave a cold smile.
"I know you want to see the real Su Qian, then bribe her through persistent pestering, and then prove that you didn't lie."
“But your methods are too clumsy; I can see through them at a glance.”
Lin Qingtong hadn't expected Shen Tinghe to think of her this way. Her red lips pressed into a thin line as she slowly spoke.
"I didn't lie."
Shen Tinghe slowly approached, his aura turning extremely cold.
"I've already made an appointment with the real Su Qian this morning. We'll know for sure who's the real one and who's the fake one then."
Lin Qingtong's eyes lit up immediately. She originally thought that Shen Tinghe would wait a few days before meeting Su Qian, but she didn't expect that he would arrange to meet her today.
Lin Qingtong gazed at Shen Tinghe with expectant eyes and a watery look in them.
"Can I come along?"
Shen Tinghe's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He raised his hand and pushed away her beautiful face that was leaning towards him. He then stopped talking, but did not refuse Lin Qingtong's request.
