The video call was disconnected.
Xu Liang lowered his eyes and only heard Lin Jing's voice ringing in his ears.
"After all, we are master and servant. Don't let me use any tricks to force you. Leave in a decent way."
Although he had expected this scene to happen, Xu Liang's heart still ached.
After more than ten years of love, all he got in return was suspicion and resentment. What he thought was a mother-son relationship turned out to be just his wishful thinking.
"Okay, I'll go, but there's something I want to tell you, Madam."
"Although I don't know where the problem lies, there must be something wrong with this notice. There must be a trap in Jing City. You... must be careful."
After saying these words, Xu Liang's eyes quietly turned red.
He didn't want others to see his cheap tears falling at this moment, so he turned around and left without looking back.
He didn't even take any of his supplies with him. He came with empty hands and left with empty hands.
Lin Jing looked at Xu Liang's back and couldn't help but recall the scene when she first met Xu Liang.
He was a young man with clear eyes. She had trusted him wholeheartedly and even thought how great it would be if Ayan could be as obedient and capable as Xu Liang...
But Xu Liang is not her son after all.
She will never allow anyone to betray her, not even once!
Lin Jing's eyes gradually turned cold, and he waved his hand: "Let's go to Jing City!"
The jeep drove from the country road onto the national highway. When passing the toll station for routine inspection, Lin Jing was still nervous. She clenched her fists and her heart was pounding.
But everything went smoothly, and she was not stopped until she entered the city of Jing.
When he saw the familiar streets and buildings, Lin Jing's tense mood finally relaxed.
It turned out that she was worrying too much.
Qiao Ruoxi's analysis was correct. If the police were really searching for her, A Yan would not have been able to live peacefully in the Pei family's old house. She would have been called in for questioning by the police long ago.
"Madam, we're home." A strange voice came from my ears.
Lin Jing was stunned, then she remembered that Xu Liang had been driven away by her.
Those who followed her now were the few Chinese Christians who were not wanted. She had never even seen the faces of some of them.
Outside the car window was the villa where she had lived for almost thirty years, but at this moment the villa was deserted and there was no one around.
And in the future, this villa will no longer be popular...
Lin Jing took a deep breath and slowly uttered five words: "Go to the Pei family's old house."
…
Hearing that Lin Jing had arrived, Old Lady Pei sneered, "She's finally back. Let her in."
"Mom, I brought you some local specialties from my trip, please don't mind."
Lin Jing carried a few gifts she had bought on the spur of the moment and walked towards Old Mrs. Pei, looking around for Pei Junyan.
Mrs. Pei said with a cold face: "I thought you were planning to wait until after Ayan's wedding before showing up."
Lin Jing sighed and pretended to be sad: "How could that be? Yaori died young, and I'm Ayan's mother. How could I not be present for such an important event as the wedding?"
This trick was indeed very effective. As soon as Pei Yaori was mentioned, the arrogance of Mrs. Pei immediately dissipated a lot, and her eyes turned red.
"Okay, I know it's not easy for you to raise A-Yan alone. With the third brother and Ruoxi taking care of the wedding, you really don't have to worry about anything. Just focus on being your mother-in-law tomorrow."
Lin Jing smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am naturally relieved about what Yaozhou and Ruoxi are doing. If I interfere too much, others will think that we are not getting along. It's better for me not to be here."
Mrs. Pei snorted coldly: "If you give them normal suggestions, will they not listen?"
Lin Jing didn't respond, but changed the subject: "Mom, where's A-Yan? Why can't I see him? Did he run away to play?"
Mrs. Pei curled her lips: "You also know that he likes to play, why do you always indulge him? He was a good child, and now he has become like this, shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"
Lin Jing nodded: "Yes, this is my first time being a mother too, so I made many mistakes. I will encourage him to make progress in the future."
Old Mrs. Pei shook her head. The mother and son were the same. They apologized faster than anyone else, but they had no sincerity in changing.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so she is too lazy to care about it.
"Ayan went to the wedding venue to rehearse the formalities. The third brother and Ruoxi also went with him. They should be back soon."
When Lin Jing heard this, her heart was relieved.
Old Mrs. Pei didn't look like she was lying. The fact that A Yan was fine meant that their identities were not exposed. She was still the eldest wife of the Pei family, and everything was the same as before.
"Mom, there's something I'm embarrassed to ask you, but I still want to ask you." Lin Jing said as she quietly observed Mrs. Pei's expression.
"If you want to ask, just ask. If you're embarrassed, then don't say it." Old Mrs. Pei sat back on the sofa, picked up the milk tea that Ruoxi bought for her, and took a sip happily.
Lin Jing choked. This old woman was really rude in her words.
"Mom, I don't know how to start talking when you say this. I actually want to ask you, when you said Ayan was getting married, you gave Pei's 3% shares. Does that still count?"
"I know that since Yaori passed away, we, an orphan and a widow, have not made any contribution to the Pei Group. We are unworthy of the shares."
Lin Jing wanted to confirm whether what Qiao Ruoxi said was true or not.
"Since you say so, I won't give it to you." Old Mrs. Pei raised her eyebrows.
