When rebuilding the garden, Yan Lin drew a structural diagram of the house from memory, as well as every scene and tree in the yard, including the height of the yard wall, the materials used to build the wall, and the shrubs in the yard... He insisted on restoring it one-to-one.
When the military region leadership received the list of demands, they were all very worried. However, they were also concerned about the possibility of being wronged, especially after Ling Junye's relentless investigation uncovered several traitors. Therefore, they fulfilled all of Yan Lin's requests.
When the topic of Project Falcon came up, Ling Junye, who was implicated, was the most agitated.
He's also a bit of a madman, secretly stabbing people in the back, and recklessly reporting Secretary Ling for being incompetent, ineffective, and forming cliques...
When Secretary Ling received the news, those around him were very worried and wanted him to persuade Ling Junye.
But he just smiled wryly and didn't say anything.
Xu Manzhi is not dead; there is still a chance.
But things are different now.
What grounds does he have to ask his son and Wenjin for forgiveness? Back then, in order to consider the bigger picture and protect himself in the current environment, he was truly ruthless.
The last time Yan Lin saw Ling, he walked to the stone table, gently stroked the charred surface, and said slowly, "Secretary Ling, I understand your good intentions, but have you ever tried to hold the hand of your beloved and cross the Black River side by side with her, without any regrets?"
“There was once a girl who was like that.”
"pity……
"She is no more in this world."
Secretary Ling was stunned into silence.
He had no regrets.
In that situation, only his mediation could ensure that his wife and children could wait until the bright moon shone in the sky.
He did the same thing as Yan Zhouzhen protecting Yan Lin back then...
When Secretary Ling heard Yan Lin's thoughts for the first time, he suddenly realized the truth.
Perhaps he did the right thing.
But he also lost the hearts of Wenjin and Aye.
That night, Secretary Ling couldn't sleep.
Therefore, when Ling Junye submitted one attack after another against him, frantically reported his biological father, and personally ousted him from his position, he only bitterly instructed those around him to let him meet Wen Jin.
At first, Wen Jin didn't want to see him.
But in the end, she couldn't resist the blood ties with the child in her womb, so she came to the detention center with her big belly.
The fallen Secretary Ling was dragged away for criticism early in the morning. His clothes were still covered in sand, his hair was messy, and he was filthy. His once domineering aura had turned into a very disheveled state.
Overnight, he looked ten years older.
He staggered to his feet, tears welling in his eyes, whether from gratitude or remorse, he said in a hoarse voice, "Wenjin... I'm so sorry to you and your child, and... and to the unborn child..."
Wen Jin's expression was indifferent.
She waited for his passion to cool.
She could forgive him so easily. What did it matter if she knelt on the ground and begged him in the past? What did it matter if her son was imprisoned? She prayed to God every day while heavily pregnant to punish the heartless man.
Finally, God opened his eyes for once.
Everything is irreversible.
"mom--"
Ling Junye came up from behind and helped Wen Jin up. He didn't even glance at his biological father. His gaze became obedient and gentle. He said to his mother, "I used to be sick and weak. You took care of me for many years. Now it's my turn. Let's go back."
"good."
Wen Jin responded softly.
She had never seen such an obedient son.
When he was ill and weak, he was somewhat reckless and willful. But after such a major change, his son matured at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
"Ano..."
Secretary Ling shed tears.
He suddenly didn't know what to say, but at that moment, words seemed too powerless.
He will never know what it means to share hardships in this lifetime.
A few months later, Wenjin gave birth to a daughter in the hospital, whom she named Jiaojiao, meaning as beautiful as the sun and moon.
Ling Junye carried his younger sister to see Yan Lin.
Under Yan Lin's personal involvement in the reconstruction, Lin Garden has been restored to its original state. From the exterior walls to every scene and object inside the house, everything is a replica. He also built two wooden boxes inside the house and kept a lucky bamboo in the bedroom.
When he brought Ling Jiaojiao into the house, Yan Lin was changing the water for the bamboo. He was talking to himself, "Zhizhi, I'm listening to you. I'm changing my clothes and changing the water for the bamboo often. The house is spotless. You'll be happy to see it. There's also flour I bought in the kitchen. We'll make dumplings for you tonight..."
There were two pairs of shoes in the room.
A pair of military green shoes and a pair of navy blue cloth shoes, both with prints that Xu Manzhi liked.
There are two enamel mugs on the table.
A small round mirror with a red frame, which Xu Manzhi often used, hung on the wall.
Even the mosquito net hooks on the bed were bronze round hooks that Yan Lin bought from the black market.
Moved by the scene, Ling Junye's eyes involuntarily filled with tears.
"elder brother--"
He stopped arguing with Yan Lin, stopped teasing him, and even stopped calling him "Yan Lin" as before. Instead, he started calling him "Brother".
Yan Lin turned around, his brows furrowed, showing little worry, like a normal person. Instead, he smiled and said, "You've come."
"Um."
Ling Junye carried his younger sister forward.
"I guess her name is Ling Jiaojiao, right?" Yan Lin asked.
"How did you know? My mom and I just chose this name, and we haven't told anyone else yet." Ling Junye looked shocked.
Yan Lin, deeply wary, replied, "I guessed."
The little guy had warned his wife about the danger.
He always kept this kindness in his heart.
"How's the investigation going? Who set the fire at Lin Garden back then?" Ling Junye asked tentatively.
He can catch the insiders who betrayed him, and he can also prove that the machinery and other items were originally purchased for pharmaceutical production; there are traces to follow in all of this.
