The two had met once when they were children. When she first came to Xin'an with Bai Xiangdong, she recognized Lin Yueyu the first time she saw her, and her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
How is she supposed to explain that she is Chen Hongxia and not Lin Yingyu?
However, Lin Yueyu seemed not to remember her, and in addition, Lin Yingyu deliberately reduced her contact with the Chen family, so the two did not have many opportunities to meet.
Lin Yingyu didn't know whether Lin Yueyu recognized her but didn't say so, or whether she didn't recognize her at all. Both of them had special identities and were deliberately hiding their relationship with the Lin family.
Perhaps that's why she pretended not to know her.
She had lived in fear for so many years, and she didn't trust anyone.
Those letters were ticking time bombs in her hands, and the Lin family's identity was also a ticking time bomb. If Lin Yueyu's identity were discovered, and she were to expose her, she would be finished.
She hoped that Lin Yueyu would become harmless.
The best way is to get her out of here quickly, so that she can never recover or be charged.
Lin Yingyu and Zhou Qi hit it off immediately, and a shocking accusation was pinned on the Chen family.
With those letters and other deliberately fabricated evidence, the Chen family quickly disappeared in Xin'an.
Lin Yingyu breathed a sigh of relief. The two most unstable threats were gone, and now Bai Xiangdong and Zhou Qi were all in the same boat; if anything happened, no one could escape.

"mom?"
Lin Yueyu and her husband took a train from the desolate countryside back to Xin'an. As soon as they got off the train, they saw their son whom they hadn't seen for six years.
Six years may not seem like a long time, but the young man from back then now has fine lines on his face from years of hard work and calluses on his hands.
His shoulders have become as broad as his father's back then, and he has grown from a young lad into a man.
Although only 6 years had passed, Lin Yueyu felt as if more than 10 years had gone by.
She held her son's hand, tears streaming down her face, stinging as they fell onto her broken wounds.
Where is your sister?
She held her son and cried for a while, then remembered her daughter and quickly looked behind him.
But no one was seen.
Six years of hard work had turned Chen Yuqi's once fair face into a wheat-colored one, but it had also transformed his once boyish chest into the broad chest of an adult, making him much more composed. He quickly comforted his mother.
"Mom, don't worry. They only notified me to come over this time. My sister is fine."
"……That's good."
Lin Yueyu held her son and cried uncontrollably. She thought that her family would never be able to reunite in this lifetime.
Chen Yuqi's eyes also felt a little hot. Her mother had changed. Although she had carefully combed her hair before coming, it was still frizzy, dry, and yellow due to long-term malnutrition, as well as countless white hairs.
He never knew that his mother's hands were so small and her arms so thin.
Chen Fangyang looked at his son without saying much. He was not used to speaking in front of people and had become very reserved and cautious.
The family didn't exchange pleasantries for long before the staff took them away separately. Lin Yueyu was taken directly to the police station, where Fang Dajiao was already waiting.
"Lin Yueyu, you say you were unaware of those letters, but do you know who they were originally addressed to?"
"Chen Hongxia, perhaps I should call her Lin Yingyu!"
For six years, she had been repeating that name in that dilapidated shack that offered barely any shelter.
Everything happened too fast back then. Her family was completely pushed around. Her husband was on his deathbed and suffered from a hidden illness. Her children were not by her side. Lin Yueyu thought she would die in that unfamiliar and harsh place.
But she still survived.
She worked countless farm chores with her husband every day, suffering from heatstroke in the summer and chilblains on her hands and feet in the winter, but she still persevered.
Those days were long enough for her to go over everything in her mind countless times.
Until that vaguely familiar face turned into a face she remembered from her childhood, she suddenly understood everything.
Few people knew her identity, and even fewer were able to contact the Lin family and then smear her.
She couldn't think of any other possibility besides this one.
The interrogators exchanged glances and had a plan in mind. Based on Fang Dajiao's information, they investigated the children of the third wife and found that there was indeed a person named Lin Yingyu.
"Is the Lin Yingyu you're talking about Lin Yuan's daughter?"
The head of the Lin family was originally the eldest branch, and Lin Yuan was not very famous among them. After the Lin family fled, almost the entire eldest branch went to the other side of the strait.
As for Lin Yuan's branch of the family, they went to the United States, where Lin Yuan's business flourished, and his children were also active in the public eye.
"She is the eldest daughter of the third uncle's family that we mentioned. I met her once before, but she didn't leave any impression on me."
Lin Yueyu's initial encounter with the third branch of the family was quite unusual. Her mother held her and pleaded with the clansmen for justice. The two sides were not on equal footing, and she could only look up at them.
As the young lady of the main family, Lin Yingyu brought her other younger siblings to watch.
At that time, her mind was filled with fear and terror, and she didn't retain much of an impression of those fleeting faces.
His interactions with the Lin family were limited to that, and he couldn't even recall when Chen Hongxia's family had moved in.
Chen Hongxia was unassuming, just like all quiet and reserved women.
The two rarely crossed paths, and when they occasionally met on the street, they would only nod to each other.
"Looks like I remembered correctly!" Fang Dajiao slapped his thigh, pleased with his good memory.
