"Of course it's because I'm pretty and have a good personality. He fell in love with me at first sight," Xing Zhaozhao blurted out without thinking.
These were all things that Gao Mingcheng told her personally when he was pursuing her.
Lin Wan clicked her tongue twice, shook her head, and said, "You're too naive. He only took a liking to you because you look like his deceased wife."
Xing Zhaozhao looked "angry": "That's impossible, that's not what he told me."
Lin Wan pointed at Gao Mingzhi: "If you don't believe me, ask him. He's Gao Mingcheng's older brother. You've met him before."
Xing Zhaozhao looked at Gao Mingzhi.
Gao Mingzhi chuckled and clicked his tongue: "She wasn't lying to you. You really look just like my sister-in-law who died young. The other day, when my wife saw you, she thought she'd seen a ghost."
Xing Zhaozhao's face turned even uglier.
Lin Wan patted her arm to comfort her, saying, "Young lady, you should have a long-term vision. Don't just focus on the love and romance in front of you. You should be grateful that you have such a good-looking face. You can not only win over the old, but also the young."
Xing Zhaozhao was taken aback and looked at Lin Wan in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"Do you know who Gao Mingcheng's son is?" Lin Wan asked.
Xing Zhaozhao shook her head. How would she know who Gao Mingcheng's current son is?
“His son is Gao Hongfei, the current chairman of Zhaohong Group, and also the only child left to him by his deceased wife,” Lin Wan said.
Xing Zhaozhao's expression suddenly changed. She abruptly stood up from her chair, looking at Lin Wan with disbelief. Her voice trembled slightly as she asked, "You... what did you just say his son's name was?"
Lin Wan assumed Xing Zhaozhao was intimidated by her and looked at her reaction with satisfaction, saying, "Gao Hongfei, Zhaohong Group, you should know him, right? The richest man in the country, he's practically a household name in Lanyuan."
Xing Zhaozhao's heart was pounding rapidly. She clenched her hands tightly and barely managed to suppress any inappropriate emotions from her face.
Dafei, her son, is still alive?!
She blinked hard twice, forcing back the tears that had already welled up in her eyes.
"Is what you're saying really going to work?" she asked Lin Wan.
"Of course." Lin Wan said proudly, recalling her past glory. "Back then, I could fool him with my face, which only looked about seven or eight parts like his mother. Let alone you."
Xing Zhaozhao's face darkened, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Suddenly sensing a strange malice, Lin Wan paused for a moment, then looked more closely but found nothing, so she dismissed it as her imagination and didn't take it to heart.
"So? Want to take this opportunity to make a fortune? I guarantee you'll be set for life." Lin Wan asked Xing Zhaozhao with a smile.
Xing Zhaozhao paused for a moment, then put on a look of being tempted but also very troubled: "I'm afraid I won't do it well."
Seeing that she was moved, Lin Wan felt completely at ease, and the wrinkles on her face deepened into a smile.
"It's alright, I'll teach you." She patted Xing Zhaozhao's hand reassuringly and said, "You'll stay here with me tonight, and I'll tell you everything about the Gao family in detail. I'll teach you step by step what to do when you see them. Once you've learned enough, we'll go to the capital together to find the Gao family."
Going to the capital? Are you going to see Hongfei?
Xing Zhaozhao's heart started racing again, and her hands began to tremble involuntarily.
With great difficulty, she managed to suppress her excitement and looked at Lin Wan, saying, "Stay here tonight? I'm afraid that won't work. My family doesn't know yet. I need to go back and tell them, and make sure everything is arranged at home before I can do it."
Lin Wan frowned, somewhat displeased, and asked, "How long will it take?"
Xing Zhaozhao roughly calculated the time: "I'll come over the day after tomorrow, is that alright?"
Lin Wan thought for a moment and reluctantly nodded in agreement: "Alright, but you should still try to hurry. Time waits for no one, and no one knows when or what changes might occur in the capital."
“Then it’s settled.” Xing Zhaozhao said as she stood up, picked up her basket and headed outside. “Have your people take me to Zhaohong Square, the place they took me today, and pick me up there the day after tomorrow.”
Actually, Xing Zhaozhao was even more anxious than Lin Wan, wanting to see Hongfei and wonder how he had managed all these years.
However, there was no use in being anxious. She had to go back first and make arrangements for the three children at home. In addition, she was going to the capital with Lin Wan this time, and she didn't know how long it would take to return. She also needed to find a suitable excuse.
With this thought in mind, Xing Zhaozhao's steps became even more hurried.
Lin Wan watched Xing Zhaozhao's impatient departure, nodded in satisfaction, and turned to Gao Mingzhi, saying, "See? I told you long ago, as long as there are enough benefits, I'm not afraid she won't be tempted."
Gao Mingzhi chuckled and gave her a thumbs up: "Then I'll be waiting for your good news."
Lin Wan's men took Xing Zhaozhao to the place where they had taken her away before and then left.
Xing Zhaozhao stood by the roadside, unable to contain herself any longer. She squatted down, covered her face, and began to cry softly. It was tears of joy; it was wonderful that her Dafei had been alive all along.
Passersby saw her squatting there crying and came over to ask with concern, "Girl, are you alright?"
Xing Zhaozhao quickly wiped away her tears and smiled, saying, "I'm fine, thank you."
After saying that, she picked up her basket and hurried home, needing to get back quickly and settle things at home.
She hadn't walked far when she suddenly remembered something and abruptly stopped.
Wait a minute, if Hongfei is the chairman of Zhaohong Group, then wouldn't Xiao Gao be her grandson and Lianzhou her great-grandson?
She said, "What a coincidence! We always seem to run into each other. Turns out we're family."
Xing Zhaozhao smiled, her eyes crinkling. She hesitated, thinking she had Gao Yang's phone number, wondering if she should call him first. But then she decided against it. If she called and said, "I'm your grandma," he'd probably think she was crazy. Anyway, she'd see him soon.
