Zhang Wanru, wearing seven-centimeter high heels, followed behind the receptionist, the jingling of the heels echoing as they walked towards Lin An's office, attracting the attention of many employees.
With their gossipy spirit intact, everyone quickly started gossiping in the chat group.
"Guys! Listen up! This person looks like President Lin's biological mother."
"Really?"
"It should be. A photo of Mr. Lin's family that some netizens dug up. I've seen it online, and that's what they look like."
"Tsk tsk tsk, looks very young."
"They have the money to take care of themselves, right?"
"But didn't President Lin say she had severed ties with her family? Why is she at the company? What's she doing here?"
"You never know. After all, they're your own flesh and blood. Maybe they'll soften their hearts and make up."
"Absolutely not! I'm a fan of Lin Wei, I know more about her than you do, she doesn't deserve to be forgiven!" a newly hired male colleague interjected.
"What's going on? Tell me quickly."
“Their family not only values their adopted sons and is mean to their own children, but also favors boys over girls. When Lin Wei was a trainee, her parents never visited her and ignored her. As soon as she debuted, they made her help the family company get resources and use her name to accept business deals, which almost caused her to be blacklisted by the company.”
"Furthermore, Lin Wei said in her fan group that her mother only knows how to shop and never cares about her children..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, why would President Lin still contact someone like that..."
"It seems she came twice today. I saw her at noon today. She said she came to deliver lunch."
"It seems Mr. Lin was moved by her!"
"They're so easily moved."
"No way! Mr. Lin forgave her so easily? Sigh..."
"This is probably the power of blood ties..."
"I feel so sorry for President Lin!"

The two arrived at the CEO's office door. The receptionist knocked twice and reluctantly said:
"We're here! You can go in now."
Zhang Wanru pushed open the door and entered. She was somewhat excited when she saw Lin An.
On the one hand, they hadn't seen each other for some time, and on the other hand, Lin An was wearing a well-fitting shirt and sitting in the huge office, exuding an air of nobility that she had never seen in Lin An before.
Zhang Wanru, carrying a lunchbox, walked somewhat awkwardly to Lin An's desk and excitedly said:
"Son, thank you for letting me in. I'm so glad to see you again."
Lin An stared at her coldly, his face expressionless. After a few seconds of silence, he asked:
What are you doing here?
"I brought you food. I specially made your favorite meat and side dishes. You're so thin, you need to eat more meat."
As she spoke, Zhang Wanru took out the lunchbox and placed it in front of Lin An.
Through the glass lunchbox, Lin An saw that inside was a plate of braised pork with preserved mustard greens, with a glossy sheen.
When he was in the orphanage, he especially liked to eat meat because the food in the orphanage canteen was not very oily, and he was growing, so he felt hungry before mealtimes every day, and only meat could keep him full.
He can eat whatever he wants now, whenever he wants, and he doesn't crave meat as much anymore.
Lin An looked up at Zhang Wanru and sneered:
"Is this not the first time I've become this thin? Why are you bringing me food now? When I was at the Lin family's house, it seems like I was punished by you every week for various reasons and couldn't eat. Didn't you say back then that I should go hungry and reflect on my actions?"
Zhang Wanru blushed when Lin An asked her a question. She remembered that there had been a few times before when she had punished Lin An by not letting him eat at the dinner table, but that was because Lin An had bad habits or had offended his older sister and younger brother.
Moreover, it shouldn't be as serious as Lin An described; it happens every week, or probably only occasionally.
She was slightly angry, feeling that Lin An was being unreasonable and even considered leaving.
But thinking of Chen Xiaohe's demands, she could only silently tell herself to endure it for the sake of love and happiness. After all, Lin An was now a wealthy boss, and if they reconciled, she would save face.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Wanru forced herself to apologize:
"I'm sorry, son. I did a lot of things to wrong you in the past. I was so stupid back then, and I was deceived by Lin Haoran and Lin Zhe. But that's all in the past. Let's forget all the unhappy things from the past, okay?"
As Zhang Wanru spoke, she squeezed out a few tears.
For a fleeting moment, Lin An hoped that Zhang Wanru's apology was genuine.
But in an instant, he saw Zhang Wanru's eyes darting around as she wiped away her tears, secretly glancing at him.
Lin An knew perfectly well that it was all wishful thinking on his part. Zhang Wanru would not change. If he couldn't get family affection, letting go was the best course of action.
Lin An didn't continue the topic and said in a deep voice, "The food has been delivered. You can leave now."
After saying that, he focused his attention on the computer screen and began working.
Zhang Wanru felt like she was being pricked by needles, standing awkwardly in place. If she left now, Chen Xiaohe wouldn't let her go. She only had three days.
She tentatively asked, "Can I bring you food again tomorrow?"
Lin An didn't look up at her and said coldly, "Okay, but I have a few meetings tomorrow. Just drop your things off and leave."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Zhang Wanru's face, and she quickly said:
"Okay, Mom will put it in your office tomorrow, so you can eat it after your meeting."
Lin An hummed in agreement, leaving the choice to Zhang Wanru. If she was simply delivering the food, even if she hadn't cooked it herself, Lin An was willing to give her a chance and try to forgive her.
If she did something else, that would be a different story.
Zhang Wanru was extremely excited. She felt incredibly lucky; her wish had come true. Even though the person wasn't there, she could still enter the office. Wouldn't that mean she could...
Zhang Wanru became increasingly excited as she thought about it, feeling that she would soon be able to get Chen Xiaohe...
Lin An said coldly, "Aren't you leaving?"
"Let's go, I'm leaving now!" Zhang Wanru walked out of the office with a happy smile.
She walked briskly in her high heels. Although Lin An had been cold to her today, the fact that he allowed her to come again was a step forward. She believed that she and her son would soon reconcile.
At that time, she will not only have a wealthy and eligible bachelor boyfriend, but also a son of a rising business tycoon. It's likely that no woman in the entire city will have more prestige than him.
Before walking out of the company gate, Zhang Wanru rolled her eyes at the receptionist and snorted coldly:
"Just you wait, I'll fire you sooner or later!"
My younger sister was on the phone, and I couldn't hear what she was saying, but judging from her arrogant and smug look, I could tell it wasn't anything nice.
He then raised his middle finger at Zhang Wanru's departing figure.
After she hung up the phone, she thought to herself angrily:
"If President Lin makes up with you, I'll reorganize the workplace!"
