From the very beginning, this woman approached him, fabricated stories to deceive him, and it seems she was all plotting against Lei Yunzhu.
There was just one thing he didn't understand.
Fang Manzi knew far too much about his relationship with Zhizhi.
And her face...
There was something really fishy about her.
Yan Lin originally planned to have someone keep an eye on things secretly, but Fang Manzi was obviously in a hurry and wanted to take the Thunder Cloud Pearl before he left. In her desperation, she staged a "possession" act.
Instead, she completely exposed herself.
"Yan Lin, you've gone too far," Fang Manzi growled.
She wanted the Thunder Cloud Pearl.
This is a rare treasure of heaven and earth.
Who wouldn't want immense wealth and status?
Yan Lin sneered.
He said calmly, "What did I do wrong? I didn't make up any lies or try to deceive anyone. I wasn't being unreasonable. I just didn't follow your reasoning, and you got desperate? To be honest, I'd like to hear where you plan to go next, using Zhizhi's face to swindle people."
The thought of someone using Zhizhi's face, and being a fool at that, is unbearable.
He wanted nothing more than to destroy that face.
Using a stand-in is just an excuse for infidelity.
When he saw someone similar, he felt no joy, only anger.
"Yan Lin, you are so heartless and ungrateful. You will be a bachelor for the rest of your life and die alone. I think you will be miserable when you have no children and no one to take care of you in your old age."
Fang Manzi ran away after making those harsh words.
As soon as she left, Zou Xiaozhou ran out from the corner, looking puzzled, and said, "Brother Yan, is that woman sick? She cursed you because she couldn't have you."
What about dying alone?
What do you mean by getting old and having no one to take care of you?
With Yan Lin's abilities, he only needs to return to his comfort zone, and when he gets old, he will have plenty of people to take care of him.
At first, I thought Fang Manzi was pretty good.
But the fox's tail was eventually revealed; its behavior was too ugly.
ugly.
Even though she looks exactly like her sister-in-law, she's ugly no matter how you look at her, and doesn't have a single bit of her sister-in-law's beauty.
That's really strange.
Yan Lin beckoned to Zou Xiaozhou and said, "Tell Lao Zhou to keep an eye on Fang Manzi and the other people who went to Beijing. Go to the Fang family and investigate. I'm afraid this woman has something going on."
"good."
Zou Xiaozhou readily agreed.
Although Fang Manzi was someone close to the teacher and shouldn't have any fundamental problems, he would carry out any order given by Brother Yan without hesitation.
"I'm going to the Ling family's place. I'll be heading back this afternoon," Yan Lin said.
"Sigh, I know I can't keep you here. I don't know when we'll meet again. You can't live in the past forever. You have to interact with real people."
Zou Xiaozhou sighed.
Yan Lin didn't reply and got into the car on his own.
His heart was full.
There's no room for anyone else to stay here.
When the car arrived at the Ling family's house, Wen Jin pulled Ling Jiaojiao to write and pressed her head to teach her to read. The little girl wiggled her bottom and couldn't sit still. She wanted to drink water, then she wanted to pee, and then she wanted to eat a watermelon...
Wen Jin was completely enraged.
She didn't pay much attention to Ling Junye. He was in poor health and only wanted to learn a few words, but his strong learning ability seemed to be innate.
He learned it on his own without her prompting or teaching.
But to his surprise, his daughter, born late in life, turned out to be a mischievous little devil.
"Handsome Uncle—"
Ling Jiaojiao laughed and shouted as soon as she saw Yan Lin.
She no longer called him "big brother" like before. Instead, she imitated Ye Yuan'er, making faces and sticking out her tongue while calling him that, and laughing happily.
Wen Jin shook her head at the sight.
She scolded her and had her aunt take her away.
"Is there something you need?" she asked Yan Lin.
Yan Lin hummed in agreement and said to Wen Jin, "I would like to see Uncle Ling."
Wen Jin was clearly surprised that Yan Lin would mention Ling Danian, and her eyes were full of astonishment, but she quickly recovered and told him Ling Danian's address.
Yan Lin nodded, said goodbye to Wen Jin, and left.
Before leaving, he told Ling Jiaojiao, "Listen to your mother. Aunt Wen is old and needs someone to take care of her. She was also frightened back then and can't take it anymore."
"oh."
Ling Jiaojiao looked guilty.
She didn't want to practice calligraphy; it was incredibly boring and tedious. She'd rather roll a hoop, do some exercises, or catch crickets—anything was better than practicing calligraphy.
But she also knew that her mother had suffered a lot to give birth to her, and that her father was not allowed to come and see her, and that she had endured a lot of gossip.
She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help nodding.
"Big brother, I want to know, will I ever see my sister-in-law again? She's so beautiful, the most beautiful sister-in-law in the world. It's a pity I've never seen her..." she asked pitifully.
The child's pity and sorrow fell on Yan Lin's heart like a tear, flowing down his chest.
For the first time, he felt a sense of something beyond mere aversion towards children.
He squatted down, patted Ling Jiaojiao's head, and said earnestly, "If you think about it every day, you might be able to see your sister-in-law in your dreams."
"Really? I'll start thinking about it right now." Ling Jiaojiao was overjoyed.
She took off running, eager to tell her mother the good news.
Watching her carefree figure disappear into the distance, Yan Lin felt a deep sadness.
Over the years, he has never dreamed of Zhizhi, not even once...
Why……
The sighs dissipated in the wind, drifting and lingering, like a song of bygone years.
Yan Lin found Ling Danian's secluded courtyard.
"You've arrived?"
Ling Danian lay on the recliner and, upon hearing the footsteps, immediately recognized Yan Lin.
"Hmm. You knew I was coming to see you?" Yan Lin asked.
