The man didn't believe a word of Feng Lin's explanation and angrily slammed his fist on the table.
"Feng Lin, you don't know her? She calls you 'Mom'? Stop pretending!"
Feng Lin didn't know how to explain it. She kept pushing Su Xiaoyu away from her, but Su Xiaoyu just held her waist tightly and wouldn't let go.
"Brother Chen, let me explain, she has mistaken you for someone else."
"Mistaken identity?" The man sneered. "Do you think I'm stupid? Feng Lin, are you even human? If I'd known you were a mother, I wouldn't have wasted my time here with you."
He picked up his bag and was about to leave when Feng Lin hurriedly tried to stop him, but Su Xiaoyu tripped him up, hindering his movement.
I tried to pull him, but missed; he just missed me.
"Brother Chen!"
Feng Lin could only call out weakly from behind, but she couldn't get the man to turn around.
With a loud bang, the door slammed shut, and the man disappeared from everyone's sight.
Su Xiaoyu looked up, stole a glance, and only after the man had walked away did she slowly get up.
Feng Lin's face was full of anger as she stared intently at Su Xiaoyu and demanded sharply, "Who exactly are you?"
Su Xiaoyu wiped her tears haphazardly with her sleeve, raised her little face, and said indifferently, "Oh. I mistook you for my mother."
Feng Lin could hardly believe her ears when she heard this casual remark.
She's seen people mistake one for another, but she's never seen anyone mistake one's mother for another!
Just as Su Xiaoyu was about to slip away, Feng Lin reacted quickly, grabbing her clothes and demanding sharply, "Where are your parents?!"
Su Xiaoyu turned her head to look at the clothes that were being held in someone else's hand, and then cast her gaze in Yi An's direction.
Yi An was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around, wishing she could bury her head in the table.
He tried to cover his face with his hands, creating the illusion that he didn't recognize Su Xiaoyu.
Feng Lin stared at Yi An, then grabbed Su Xiaoyu and quickly walked over.
With a ferocious expression, she tapped the table in front of Yi An.
"Sir, is this your child?"
Yi An had no choice but to bite the bullet and raise her head, feigning ignorance: "Huh?"
Unfortunately, Su Xiaoyu didn't give him that chance at all. She sweetly called out "Daddy" and buried her head in Yi An's arms.
Yi'an was starting to question the meaning of life.
He looked down at the obedient-looking Su Xiaoyu with "affection," and spat out the words through gritted teeth: "Didn't you just say you have a father?"
Su Xiaoyu couldn't hear anything anymore, she kept calling for her father, as if she was afraid that no one could hear her.
Yi An could only resign herself to her fate and look up to admit, "I am her father."
Feng Lin finally found a place to vent her anger.
"How can you look after your child! How can you let your child grab anyone and call them 'Mom'! Do you know how much trouble this will cause?! My boyfriend has misunderstood!"
Hearing her righteous accusation, Yi An hesitated for a moment before confirming, "Was that man who just left your boyfriend?"
Feng Lin didn't know why he suddenly asked that, and without thinking, she retorted, "What's wrong? Can't I have a boyfriend!"
"It's alright. I apologize to you on behalf of my child."
Feng Lin sneered upon hearing the apology.
"Is an apology all it takes?"
Yi An retorted, "Then what else do you want?"
Feng Lin crossed her arms over her chest, tapped her feet idly, and arrogantly threw out a sentence.
"Give me some money!"
Yi'an was so angry at her for demanding money so confidently that she laughed.
"Are you trying to extort me now?"
Feng Lin was displeased upon hearing this term. "How is this extortion?! Because you didn't manage your child properly, my boyfriend misunderstood me, causing me so much emotional distress! Shouldn't I get some compensation for emotional damage?"
Yi An looked at her, who was acting like a rogue and a scoundrel, and even her beautiful face gradually became distorted.
He knew all along that Zhao Bo could never find the kind of "perfect" girlfriend he was talking about.
"You want money, right? Then let's go to the police station and talk. I'll give you whatever the police officer says, okay?"
Feng Lin hadn't expected him to take it to the police station, so she immediately changed her tune: "Fine, fine, I guess I'm just unlucky! Just don't let me see you again!"
She finished speaking impatiently, stomped her foot in frustration, and left.
As he left, he muttered to himself, "A grown man like that, so stingy."
Su Xiaoyu straightened up from Yi An's embrace, glanced in the direction Feng Lin had left, raised her small face, and said, word by word, "She insulted you."
Yi An was furious and immediately scolded him: "Now you have the nerve to tattle on others? Why weren't you like this just now? Didn't you say you have a father? You're just calling people 'father'!"
Su Xiaoyu ignored his insistence on the matter, pretending not to hear anything, and sat back down in her seat to eat the hamburger she hadn't finished.
Yi An got even angrier. "I'm talking to you, Su Xiaoyu. Don't you dislike me being your father? Then why are you calling me that? Let me tell you, I don't like being someone else's father either!"
Su Xiaoyu pursed her lips and complained softly, "This uncle is so petty."
These words reached Yi'an's ears precisely.
"I'm petty? I'm petty! I'm even petty!!"
He raised his voice higher and higher each time, until finally even the people next to him couldn't stand it anymore and patted Yi An on the shoulder.
"Brother, why bother arguing with a kid? We're adults, don't be so petty."
Yi An: "...?!"
Feng Lin stormed out of the restaurant and called her boyfriend several times, but he didn't answer. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a figure suddenly flashed into her mind.
She hesitated and turned back to look at Yi An, who was still arguing with Su Xiaoyu in the restaurant, and suddenly froze.
"Could he be...?"
What followed was swallowed up by the surge of astonishment.
After finishing their meal, Yi An led Su Xiaoyu to linger at the entrance of Chengyan Technology, hesitant and undecided.
"Do you think we should tell him about this?"
Su Xiaoyu looked up at him blankly, without saying a word.
After hesitating for a moment, Yi An gritted her teeth and walked into the company.
As soon as they returned to the office, Zhao Bo, having heard the news, came seeking revenge in a menacing manner.
He slammed the illegible personal ad onto the table in front of Su Xiaoyu and demanded loudly, "Su Xiaoyu, did you make this?!"
Looking at his irritable appearance, Yi An glanced at the marriage advertisement on the table and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
After asking the question, he realized that nothing was as serious as what he had just encountered.
"Brother, let's not talk about this now. I have something even bigger to tell you."
Yi An pulled Zhao Bo to the sofa away from Su Xiaoyu and sat him down.
Seeing his serious expression, Zhao Bo also felt nervous.
