Grandpa Yu stood at the study doorway, watching his son's family's farce. He shook his head and turned back into the study. Yu Changnian, after being reprimanded by Yu Wan, calmed down considerably, coldly snorting, "Don't come home so late next time, it makes people worry." Seeing her husband's attitude soften, Xiao Hong stopped crying and stood up. Yu Wan offered a few more words of comfort, finally easing the atmosphere in the house.
After finishing dinner and taking a shower, Lin Jin couldn't wait to retreat to her private space. She had planned to read in this quiet corner and enjoy some time alone. However, despite holding a book, she couldn't concentrate on the words.
The fact that Xiao Hong had been following her lingered in Lin Jin's mind, making it difficult for her to let go. She couldn't help but wonder what Xiao Hong's motives were. Wasn't the only connection between them that Lin Jin had helped Xiao Hong with her nephew's illness? Now that the illness was cured, logically speaking, Xiao Hong should have no reason to have someone follow her again!
Lin Jin felt increasingly uneasy. She was certain it wasn't because she had helped Xiao Tao treat his illness. So, what was the reason Xiao Hong was following her?
Lin Jin sat in the chair, her hands supporting her chin, her brows slightly furrowed, trying hard to recall everyone she had interacted with recently. She silently muttered to herself, "I've only offended Su Yue here..."
Su Yue, the woman Lin Jin loathed. Lin Jin recalled all the difficulties and mockery Su Yue had inflicted on her, and a surge of resentment welled up within her. However, the person had only said they would follow her, observing her daily movements and the people she met—this seemed inconsistent with Su Yue's usual behavior. After all, Su Yue had always wanted to find someone to take revenge on Lin Jin; wouldn't taking direct action be more in line with her character?
"So, it shouldn't be Su Yue's people..." Lin Jin muttered to himself, his tone tinged with doubt.
So, if it wasn't Su Yue, then who could it be? Lin Jin's thoughts were a jumbled mess, and she couldn't make sense of them. She suddenly remembered Xiao Hong, the woman she had only met twice.
When Lin Jin first met Xiao Hong, she didn't have much of an impression of her, only finding her somewhat mysterious. However, during their second meeting, Xiao Hong said something puzzling. She asked Lin Jin who she was, which greatly surprised Lin Jin.
"Who else could I be? Aren't I just me?" Lin Jin pondered Xiao Hong's words repeatedly, feeling that there seemed to be some deeper meaning hidden within them. Did Xiao Hong know something about her? Or was Xiao Hong herself somehow connected to this matter?
The more Lin Jin thought about it, the more complicated things became, and she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
Suddenly, Lin Jin's eyes lit up. She thought of a possible clue—Beijing, Xiao Hong… Perhaps, all of this is related to her background!
Thinking of this, Lin Jin's heart skipped a beat. What exactly was the relationship between Xiao Hong and the Yu family? This question kept swirling in her mind, making her increasingly curious.
It seems I'll have to find some time to ask Aunt Liu. After all, Aunt Liu is Xiao Hong's sister-in-law, so she must know something about Xiao Hong! Maybe she knows something about Xiao Hong and the Yu family. Besides, my godmother might also know something about these matters.
