"Good."
Not knowing the full story, the Lin Family didn't jump to conclusions, but those present were a different story.
"Your mother gave birth to you and raised you, and this is the kind of ungrateful child she raised?"
The young woman said, "Since you enjoy standing up for the weak so much, why don't you take her home to live with you in your old age?"
"You... I've never seen a daughter like you, not even caring about your own mother."
"Now you've seen it?"
Another person helped the middle-aged woman up, saying, "Sister, it's not good for you to kneel like this. Since your daughter is a terrible person anyway, I have an idea for you: go to court and sue her. She has to support you in your old age."
"It's necessary, but it's only a few hundred yuan a month, which I can afford. And if I get unhappy, I might just use that money to buy things she doesn't need."
"How can you be like this? You live in a big villa, but you're unwilling to support your own mother. You're heartless and cruel."
"I may be heartless and black-hearted, but what can you do to me?"
Although the young woman's attitude was terrible, her eyes were glistening with tears; she was just putting on a brave face.
I really can't stand watching this kind of drama.
What's going on?
Has God opened his eyes?
Then hurry up and take this char siu away.
[When her daughter was in high school, the mother said she had seen through the illusions of the world, sold the house, and donated all the money to a temple, leaving not a single penny for her daughter. This caused the daughter to go hungry, forcing her to work hard and support herself through school, which is how she achieved what she has today.]
[As a result, the mother who once saw through the illusions of the world is now old and resorting to moral blackmail, demanding that her daughter support her in her old age. Does she think the world is good one moment and bad the next?]
The onlookers were shocked; was it really that explosive?
The man who had just grabbed the middle-aged woman awkwardly let go of her hand.
Those who recently spoke up for middle-aged women are now feeling unlucky.
Therefore, what you see is not necessarily true, and what you hear is not necessarily real.
Everyone lowered their heads in shame.
Lin Tingyue stepped forward, took the young woman's hand, and looked at her with bright eyes. "You did nothing wrong, please continue to live your life well."
The young woman nodded, and as she lowered her head, tears fell, which Lin Tingyue gently wiped away.
When she looked up again, the young woman was back to her assertive self.
She shoved the middle-aged woman aside, glanced at the crowd, and said, "Have you finished watching the show?"
The onlookers, realizing they were in the wrong, quickly dispersed.
The middle-aged woman shouted, "You can't leave! You can't leave! You have to speak up for this unfilial daughter..."
No one was left behind. Even the daughter she had managed to trick out of the house closed the door to her, ignoring her no matter how much she knocked.
Finally, they notified the property management, who took the person away.
Back in the car, Bai Yaxin to herself, "What was she thinking? Even if she's seen through the illusions of the world, she should still make sure her daughter is settled. The young girl needs her family's support at this crucial time, and she just abandoned her like that."
"Yeah, I guess they don't want to raise them anymore. There are so many people these days who don't deserve to be parents," Lin Rusong said.
"Since you've chosen to be a parent, you must be responsible for your child."
[Mom is right!]
Bai Yaxin smiled and took her two daughters' hands.
Once home, Bai Yaxin to herself, "I'm exhausted today. I should wash up and go to bed early. Some money-grubbers are still counting how many red envelopes I received today."
[Mom must not be talking about me, right?]
Bai Yaxin suppressed a laugh.
Lin returned to the room, Tingyue took a shower first.
She wrapped her hair up, rolled around on the bed, and started playing on her phone.
When she ran out of videos to watch, she opened a shopping app. Things she used to be reluctant to buy were now readily available, but Lin Tingyue resisted the urge to place an order.
She hadn't forgotten that there was still a branch office waiting for her; as the boss, her wallet had to be fat enough.
Holding up her phone, she murmured, "It's like a dream."
But she remembered that all of this stemmed from the Lin Family's love for her.
The Lin Family has been so good to her; she must repay them properly in the future.
Feeling sleepy as she thought about it, Lin Tingyue went to blow-dry her hair, which made her more alert.
"How awful!"
While strolling around, Lin Tingyue inexplicably opened the chat window with Ying An. Ying An hadn't replied yet, but Lin Tingyue stared at the message she had sent, and her mood suddenly became a little complicated.
What's going on? Lin Tingyue pressed her chest. She was perfectly fine when she was at her grandmother's house.
[It must be emo time.]
Lin Tingyue opened her music app and played patriotic songs. Suddenly, she felt like she was the light of the righteous path, a model youth, and a pillar of the future.
Looking at that sentence again, it did indeed seem much more normal.
but!
Just as Lin Tingyue had calmed down, Ying An's reply appeared Lingling.
Lin Tingyue: "!"
Before she could even look, her hand slipped, and she exited.
Ying An watched helplessly as the "typing is in progress" message disappeared.
Ying An felt a pang of regret; should he have replied that way?
Was Lin Tingyue frightened by him?
In fact, Lin Tingyue didn't even see what he sent.
[Scaring myself~]
Lin Tingyue hummed a song and opened the chat box again.
"What if I said I wasn't joking...?"
Lin Tingyue was stunned when she heard it read aloud. "Is this right?"
Just then, the patriotic song Lin Tingyue had chosen finished playing, and the music software automatically started playing a currently popular love song.
The drumbeats of the music are like the rhythm of a heartbeat.
So, the bewildered Lin Tingyue suddenly realized: Mr. Ying liked her?
Chapter 107
Lin Tingyue had never considered liking someone, neither in her past life nor in this one.
Back in school, the boys in my class were all annoying and difficult to beat up; beautiful romances only existed on TV.
After starting work, simply becoming a corporate slave who completes tasks on time has already exhausted all of Lin Tingyue's energy, let alone developing an office romance with a colleague. She's lucky if she doesn't end up hurting her colleagues.
Therefore, at this moment, Lin Tingyue was unusually confused.
Ying An was neither her classmate nor her colleague.
He was one of the few people Lin Tingyue Lin Tingyue met who were of decent character, aside from Lin Yuhuan and Lin Shengyan, after leaving her previous environment.
Ying An, this should be considered special.
"Aaaaaaah!"
Lin Tingyue tugged at her hair. "So how exactly am I supposed to reply?"
[Or, should we pretend I'm asleep and didn't see it?]
Lin Tingyue, being incredibly clever, collapsed to the ground, wrapped herself in the blanket, but given Ying An's personality, she'll probably keep watching her phone.
[You can't stay awake until dawn, can you?]
Having just calmed herself down, Lin Tingyue sat up again. Resigned, she picked up her phone and discovered that Ying An had sent her another new message when she wasn't looking.
Mr. Ying: I was just joking with Miss Lin. The director said I wasn't funny enough. I'm working on it. Maybe I scared Miss Lin?
[He really doesn't have much of a sense of humor.]
Lin Tingyue breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "I can learn a few corny jokes."
Mr. Ying: Okay, thank you for your suggestion, Miss Lin.
Lin Tingyue sent a nodding emoji.
After thinking for a moment, she sent a goodnight emoji, indicating that she was going to sleep.
Mr. Ying: Good night.
Staring blankly at the chat box where no new conversations were appearing, Ying An unconsciously gripped his phone tighter. He really wanted to know Lin Tingyue's answer, but he was even more unwilling to let Lin Tingyue feel troubled because of his words.
He didn't want to become a burden to Lin Tingyue.
The Lin Family Villa.
Lin Tingyue pulled the blanket over herself with satisfaction. [Now I can get a good night's sleep.]
The Lin Family members standing outside Lin Tingyue's door said they could go to sleep now.
" Lin Rusong," Bai Yaxin asked, taking Lin Rusong's hand, "What's troubling you late at night Tingyue?"
Lin Rusong thought about it carefully, " Tingyue is a money-grubber, maybe she's worried about money?"
"It's not impossible."
Lin Yuhuan and the other two looked helplessly at Bai Yaxin and Lin Rusong. Lin Shengyan, "Mom and Dad, didn't you just say that eavesdropping is immoral?"
Bai Yaxin had her own reasons. "You won't be able to hear it when you go back to your room?"
Lin Tingyue's thoughts are confined to a fixed range; whether you want to hear them or not, they will resonate directly in the minds of those who can hear them.
Lin Shengyan.
"So, since we're just listening in the room anyway, we might as well come here and listen. What if Tingyue needs us?"
Lin Xiawan nodded. "Mom is right."
Judging from her appearance, if something happens to Lin Tingyue, she'll be the first to rush in and stay by Lin Tingyue's side.
Lin Shengyan turned his head again and saw that his older brother was already ready to go.
Lin Shengyan suppressed a laugh and nudged Lin Yuhuan's arm. "Big brother, Lin Tingyue doesn't need us right now."
Lin Yuhuan coughed lightly, "I know."
Lin Rusong suddenly said, "How about I give Tingyue a little more pocket money tomorrow?"
Lin Shengyan, winning over a money-grubber was way too easy!
On the third day of junior high, Fan Qing asked Lin Tingyue to go out to see a movie.
While in the movie theater, Lin Tingyue felt that the person in front of her looked a lot like Lin Qiyan. After the movie, Fan Qing and Lin Tingyue went to a restaurant for dinner, and Lin Tingyue saw that person again. Lin Tingyue tentatively called out, and sure enough, it was Lin Qiyan.
"Hey, Tingyue, what are you doing here?" Lin Qiyan asked in surprise.
Lin Tingyue said, "I came to see a movie with my best friend. Qiyan, this is Fan Qing, my best friend. Qingqing, this is Sister Qiyan."
