Chapter 109 Your brother has committed crimes before
Zhou Jing looked at her calmly.
"Lin Yan, you don't have to be so resentful towards me. I told you that I had a reason for abandoning you back then. First, answer me, why did you suddenly return to Jingbei?"
Lin Yan put down her chopsticks and looked at her directly: "I don't have to answer you."
Her expression remained calm as she continued, "It seems your uncle still hasn't told you. When you know the truth one day, perhaps you won't have the right to blame me."
"Lin Yan, I don't care why you returned to Jingbei. I still say the same thing: don't disturb my life again, and don't even think about hurting Luoluo."
"She is my precious daughter whom I have loved since she was a child. She is simple, timid, warm-hearted and kind. If she gets hurt because of you, I don't know what I will do to you."
Lin Yan has tried very hard to remove the remaining maternal love in her heart.
But every word and every phrase Zhou Jing said was like a wheel rolling down her cruelly.
It still hurts...
Still sad...
She could only fight back with sharp words to cover up her indifference.
"Zhou Jing, if you have the time to warn me, you might as well work on your family relationships. Your sister likes your brother. Although they're not related by blood, they're registered in the same household registration, right? I'm sure your husband's family isn't an ordinary one either. If this gets out, won't it become a joke for everyone to talk about after dinner?"
Zhou Jing tried her best to control her facial expression, but the barely perceptible twitching of the corners of her mouth still revealed her inner acceptance of this absurd fact.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lin Yan continued, "Really? You feel ashamed too?"
Zhou Jing took a breath, clasped her hands on the table, and responded to her as if brainwashing herself.
"Luoluo is young and naive, and she mistakes her dependence on her brother for the throbbing feelings between a man and a woman. When she grows up, she'll understand that it's not love at all!"
"Don't fool yourself." Lin Yan reminded: "She is in her twenties, not young anymore."
Zhou Jing couldn't handle her sharp words and was a little frustrated: "Alright! This is my family affair, it's not your turn to judge. I know my daughter well, she won't stay confused forever!"
Lin Yan picked up the water cup and took a sip, then said calmly, "Okay, then I wish you a happy and fulfilling family."
"Yan Yan."
Just as she was about to leave, Zhou Jing called her.
"What's up?"
Zhou Jing restrained her expression, and the sharp eyes weakened a little.
Her expression was solemn. "Yan Yan, I'm going to ask you one last time. Has Lin Zhi ever come to look for you? He's been missing for a long time. I hope you can tell me the truth. Just think of it as a way to sympathize with my mother's feelings."
Lin Yan was silent for a moment, but still chose to tell her.
After all, her brother cares about her.
She also didn't want anything to happen to Lin Zhi.
"I saw him in Longping two months ago."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jing's face suddenly showed excitement.
His voice couldn't help but rise: "What did you say? Did you really see him? How is he now? Where is he?"
A series of questions bombarded her.
It can be seen that Zhou Jing is very worried about Lin Zhi.
Lin Yan said succinctly: "I was in danger in Longping, he showed up and saved me, and then left. I only saw him that one time, and I haven't seen him since."
"Did he tell you his contact information? Or what did he talk to you about?"
"No."
The hope that had ignited in Zhou Jing's heart was extinguished in an instant.
The creases in his brows grew deeper.
To be honest, she was also worried about Lin Zhi's safety.
The last time he appeared, he was wearing a mask and a hat. His mysterious look gave her a bad feeling.
She asked Zhou Jing: "Have you called the police? We can use the police's help to find him."
A different emotion flashed across Zhou Jing's face: "You can't call the police."
"Why?"
"Your brother..." Zhou Jing hesitated, as if struggling with something. After a long pause, she finally told the truth: "Your brother got into trouble before... Luoluo's father used his connections to help him get away with it..."
Lin Yan's heart suddenly turned cold: "What's the matter?"
"Don't ask that." Zhou Jing didn't plan to continue talking. She picked up her bag, stood up, and looked at her solemnly.
"Lin Yan, no matter what our relationship is, remember that your brother cares about you the most. If you have any news about Lin Zhi later, please tell me as soon as possible."
After saying that, Zhou Jing left the restaurant.
Lin Yan was silent for a moment, then slowly turned her head to look out the window. She was still unable to come back to her senses until Zhou Jing's car completely disappeared from her sight.
She didn't know how long she sat in the restaurant before she left with a look of disappointment.
After walking out of the restaurant, she took out her cell phone and was about to call a taxi.
The familiar feeling of being watched from behind hit her back like a sledgehammer.
She clutched her phone tightly and turned around.
However, no suspicious person was found behind him.
But the intuition is strong and real.
Just like the last time she went to the business hall to check her cell phone number, she always felt like someone was watching her in the dark.
She stood by the busy street, looking at the people passing by.
My thoughts fell into a brief confusion.
She closed her eyes for a moment and looked towards the coffee shop across the street.
Staring at the dome camera above the entrance of the cafe, an idea suddenly came to my mind.
So, I walked towards the coffee shop.
She went straight to the clerk and smiled politely, "Hello, my friend dropped a valuable necklace across the street half an hour ago, and I think the camera at your door happened to capture it. Could you please check the surveillance?"
The clerk had no say: "Miss, please wait a moment, I have to ask the manager."
After a few minutes, the clerk told her it was OK.
So I took her to check the surveillance footage.
After adjusting it for half an hour, she was about to dispel her doubts.
She finally found a figure in a corner of the video.
He was hiding in the corner, still wearing a mask and a hat, his tall and thin figure half hidden in the corner and half visible outside.
Looking straight at her back as she was using her phone to hail a taxi...
She had seen this figure last time in Longping, and it had already been reproduced in her mind.
He is Lin Zhi!
It's her brother...
After walking out of the coffee shop, Lin Yan still didn't understand.
From Longping to Jingbei.
Why was Lin Zhi following her in secret?
Is he silently protecting her? Or does he have some other, unspoken motive?
Besides, should I tell Zhou Jing about Lin Zhi's whereabouts...
She was thinking about this all the way, and before she knew it, the taxi had stopped at the entrance of her community.
She returned home distracted.
Before I sat down, the sound of the combination lock at the door rang.
Then the door opened.
He met Xing Yu's tired and complicated eyes.
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, surprised: "Didn't you go back to Longping? How come you're back so soon?"
Xing Yu didn't respond, didn't even change his shoes, and strode straight towards her.
Then he held her tightly in his arms...
Lin Yan's hand was suspended in the air. She felt something strange about him and asked softly, "Xing Yu, what's wrong with you?"
"No..." His voice seemed to be squeezed out from his chest, and he choked with suppressed sobs: "I just want to hug you..."
