Lu Qingyan looked over in surprise: "How can I tell that they are the same person? He is so young, and they don't look alike at all."
In the evening, Zhao Linchuan picked up Lu Qingyan and took her home.
This time, Zhao Linchuan didn't torment Lu Qingyan's stomach; instead, he ordered takeout from a private restaurant. Lu Qingyan enjoyed the delicious food and felt she was finally living a normal life again. She never wanted to try any more culinary disasters.
Zhao Linchuan watched his daughter wolf down her food, and he felt a pang of guilt. He was a grown man, yet he was inept at housework, and the food he cooked was terrible; his daughter was truly suffering.
Looking at Zhao's father's guilty expression, Lu Qingyan could guess what he was thinking.
She was thinking that she should hurry up and find a new wife for Zhao's father, and a reliable stepmother for herself. That way, even if Wei Na used every trick in the book, she wouldn't be able to remarry Zhao's father when she finally found one.
Lu Qingyan went through the plot and the original owner's memories, and finally found a suitable candidate—Zhao Linmeng.
Zhao Linmeng works at Zhao Linchuan's company and is also Zhao Linchuan's old classmate.
They were initially attracted to each other, but missed their chance due to youthful shyness, and then each married someone else.
Zhao Linmeng's life wasn't easy either. She was an orphan, and her husband died unexpectedly not long after they got married, leaving her all alone.
After an unexpected reunion with Zhao Linchuan, she finally found a job at his company.
Although Zhao Linchuan had deep feelings for Wei Nana after marriage, he wasn't entirely without feelings for Zhao Linmeng either. However, being a responsible and dependable man, he buried these feelings deep in his heart.
After dinner, Lu Qingyan started doing her extremely simple homework. Before bed, as usual, she began crying and fussing, "I want my mommy! I want my mommy~~~"
The system watched this scene and burst into laughter.
Frustrated and unable to soothe the child, Zhao's father had no choice but to call Zhao Linmeng.
"Xiaomeng, the child is crying again." Zhao's father's voice was very tired. "This time, I'll have to trouble you to come and take care of her again."
A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Linchuan, why are you being so polite with me? I owe my current situation to your help, so it's only right that I help you now. Xinyi is a good girl. Talk to her nicely, and she'll understand eventually. Or you could just tell her everything directly, and she won't resent you anymore."
Half an hour later, Zhao Linmeng appeared in front of Lu Qingyan. She was wearing a women's suit and looked particularly energetic, shining with a unique radiance even in the dim light.
"Xinyi—" she called out as usual, preparing to coax Lu Qingyan to sleep.
To her surprise, Zhao Xinyi, who was usually throwing a tantrum, rushed towards her, hugged her tightly, and cried out, "Mom!"
Zhao Linmeng froze. She awkwardly looked up at Zhao Linchuan and stammered, "Brother Linchuan, the child..."
Zhao Linchuan whispered a reprimand from the side, "Xinyi, don't call her that. That's not your mother, that's Aunt Zhao."
Lu Qingyan continued her tantrum: "I don't care, I don't care, she's my mom! Dad, since Mom doesn't want us to leave alone, how about you let Aunt Zhao be my mom?"
