The music in the coffee shop is soothing.
Lin Yuan crossed her legs and leaned against the armrest of the sofa.
Without even glancing at the gift box Qin Fengying handed him, he smiled and curled the corners of his mouth.
"Mrs. Lu, you're too kind. When Mr. Lin and I weren't home, the housekeeper told us that you had visited our house several times!"
"Please forgive us for the poor hospitality!"
Her eyes were flippant, and her tone was bland and indifferent, showing none of the enthusiasm she had shown when she wanted to become in-laws with the Lu family.
Qin Fengying gathered the hem of her skirt and sat down opposite her.
His expression changed, and he felt very uncomfortable.
She could tell that her son, Lu Han, genuinely liked Mengmeng and was even somewhat dependent on her.
Compared to girls her age, Lin Mengmeng is also more mature.
Qin Fengying wholeheartedly approved of this prospective daughter-in-law and even secretly found out her birth date and had it checked by a master.
The master said that if Lu Han missed Lin Mengmeng, he would never meet a better girl again.
Seeing Lin Yuan's attitude change drastically, she felt heartbroken for her son.
"Mrs. Lin, please don't say that. My good-for-nothing son caused such a big disaster. If it weren't for you all helping him out, Old Lu and I really wouldn't know what to do!"
After Qin Fengying finished speaking, she took the initiative to call over the waiter and ordered the cappuccino that Lin Yuan liked.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as the waiter was about to leave, Lin Yuan quickly called him back.
"Let's switch to an iced Americano. Cappuccino is too sweet; I haven't drunk it in ages!"
The waiter felt embarrassed for Qin Fengying because it was such a blatant disrespect.
He stood there, looking at the two of them with some difficulty.
Qin Fengying forced an awkward smile, "I'm glad Madam Lin likes it..."
After the waiter left, Lin Yuan squinted and stared at Qin Fengying for a few moments.
"Hey, my husband Lin didn't agree to me coming. He even blamed me for not understanding the situation before trying to claim kinship with your family."
These words made Qin Fengying's face even uglier.
I don't understand what.
It's just that the Lin family felt their daughter was being taken advantage of after they heard that Lu Han was an adopted son of the Lu family!
Ultimately, what the Lin family valued was the Lu family's wealth and background, not Lu Han himself.
Tucked a stray hair behind her ear and chuckled, "Mrs. Lin, Mengmeng has been to my house many times. Everyone knows how close she is to my Han'er."
"I heard from Han'er that the two of them have booked a hotel room together. As parents, we should respect our children's choices!"
Qin Fengying came today to fight for a chance for her son.
Even if we can't reach an agreement, we can't let the Lin family treat their son so blatantly.
"Mrs. Lu..."
Lin Yuan never expected that she would say something like "the two children booked a hotel room" in this kind of setting.
Seeing the waiter come upstairs, he frowned, looked away, and cleared his throat.
As soon as the waiter left, she glared at Qin Fengying and began to defend her daughter.
"Madam Lu, you must be joking. My Mengmeng is very well-mannered, as everyone in Jiangzhou knows. How could she possibly go to a hotel with a man so casually?"
"But your Lu Han... tsk tsk, I heard that he still owes money and is being chased by debt collectors at Fanghai Hotel!"
Lin Yuan picked up her coffee, took a small sip, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips no matter what.
Anyone can push their limits!
Aside from her slightly poor academic performance, and the fact that her daughter had a hotel room with Lu Han, she was still innocent. At least she didn't cause trouble like that fake young master Lu Han.
"What did you say? Debt?"
Qin Fengying had never heard her son mention money.
It's impossible not to be shocked to hear from others the reason for his injury.
"Oh, Mrs. Lu, you didn't know about this until now?"
Lin Yuan leaned forward with an exaggerated expression.
The sound was so loud it was overwhelming.
"Many young masters and ladies from Jiangzhou's social circles were there at the time. They witnessed the creditors pinning Lu Han to the ground and beating him, then smashing a bottle over his head, and the blood..."
Seeing that Qin Fengying was speechless, Lin Yuan deliberately paused.
"I heard all this from Mrs. Wang. She said that after her daughter came home, she vomited for several days and couldn't eat."
"She thought that girl had been fooling around outside and gotten pregnant. After pressing her for details, she found out that Lu Han had lost a lot of blood that day, which terrified many girls!"
Qin Fengying clutched her chest, surprised and puzzled, "Wasn't Mengmeng there at the time?"
After saying this, Qin Fengying picked up her milk-free and sugar-free coffee and gulped down half of it before she finally felt like she had come back to her senses.
"Oh dear, Mrs. Lu, I was just about to clarify things about my Mengmeng and Lu Han!"
Qin Fengying was in a state of utter confusion. She blinked and asked, "What do you mean?"
“My Mengmeng does run into Lu Han quite often. She’s focused on starting her own business, and she only goes to your house to discuss collaborations with Lu Han.”
"As for dating Lu Han and having sex in hotels, that's probably someone else."
"Why don't you go back and ask your son what he has to say..."
Lin Yuan went along with it, completely absolving Lin Mengmeng of any responsibility.
Qin Fengying could hardly believe her ears. If the music hadn't continued, she would have thought she was dreaming!
The Lu family hadn't even fallen yet, and the Lin family was already eager to sever ties.
It goes without saying how other people will view Lu Han.
"Mrs. Lu, we can't accept such an expensive gift. You should take it back with you... I have an appointment, so I won't stay any longer!"
While she was still processing this series of news, Lin Yuan picked up her handbag and strode away with a mocking smile.
snort!
Trying to use my daughter to whitewash that idiot? No way!
Fortunately, we adopted Lin Xiaoya early on, and now she's come in handy...
Qin Fengying didn't know how she left the coffee shop. The waiter chased her to her car, and she realized that she had even forgotten her bag on her seat.
She rushed to Fanghai Hotel, and stumbled as soon as she entered.
The security guard was startled and helped her up: "Are you alright?"
Qin Fengying just wanted to know if what Lin Yuan said was true.
She didn't say anything, pushed past the security guard, and headed straight for the elevator.
After Xiao Li at the front desk finished serving the customer, the security guard said, "Luckily, it wasn't an old lady who fell just now, or we would have been in trouble again!"
Xiao Li looked puzzled. "Who is it?"
"They look somewhat familiar, but I can't quite place them..."
The security guard was new and had only run into Qin Fengying once during shift changes, so it was normal that he didn't recognize her.
Xiao Li only glanced in this direction and wasn't sure if it was Qin Fengying.
He asked the security guard to keep an eye on things for him for a while, then jogged to the monitoring room.
Room 1818 was unusually lively today.
Both young masters of the Gu family have gone there.
What if it really was Qin Fengying who went upstairs just now? That would be...
"Mr. Gu just lost a small item and asked me to check the security camera footage at the entrance."
According to the workflow, a receptionist like her should not have the authority to view the surveillance footage.
But due to the urgency of the situation, she had no choice but to tell a little lie.
