Chapter 38

Lin Jingxuan was unaware of his ex wife's thoughts as he was trying to control himself from showing any emotions that would betray his emotions. His love for his family.

He felt pained to be thought of as an irresponsible father but he had his reasons. Reasons he couldn't tell anyone.

Lin Jingxuan still loved Yi Shuyan and Yue Ling so much but he was forced to cut off all connections from them.

After they left the Lin mansion,this was the very first time he has ever met Yi Shuyan. He wanted to embrace her and even ask how she had been through all these years.

As a father,he always had the urge to meet Yue Ling,to see her grow up. Who knew that right now,he wouldn't even recognize her if they crossed paths.

Did she also resent him like her mother did? She most certainly did. He had done the unforgivable to both her and her mother.

As a child, Yue Ling rarely formed deep emotional connections and didn't have friends.

Despite having known grandparents and aunt for a long time,she never really got close to them. She simply greeted them and didn't spend much time with them.

But when she loved someone,she would stick to them wherever they went. Back then,he was even forced to take her with him to work sometimes because he couldn't bear to leave her.

Those days were gone now. Yi Shuyan's disappointed gaze spoke everything.

He really had no right to ask what they did with whatever belonged to them but he couldn't bear them becoming a target to opportunists and other bad people.

What had just happened even opened his eyes to the fact that anything can happen to his family. Or else, how was someone able to locate his Yi Shuyan and Yue Ling and even convince them to take such a big decision.

Another thing was that he hoped one day Yue Ling would take over. He didn't take sides when it came to his children but Lin Meilin didn't give him the feeling of satisfaction. She seemed to do everything with no love for it.

When Yue Ling was younger,she was well versed with medicines and treating simple injuries and even a few simple diseases.

Yue Ling had the talent. He knew it very well. She even once said she would be a doctor.

But now when this happened,it showed her lack of interest. She had also cut off the only connection they had left.

What career had she taken up? He couldn't help but wonder.

Lin Jingxuan left after apologising to Yi Shuyan. He was apologising for so many things but mentioned only meeting up with her without asking.

At night when Yue Ling was having dinner with her mother,she couldn't help but notice how bad her mother's mood was.

Yi Shuyan didn't realize she was loudly hitting her cutlery against her plate again and again to vent out her frustration.

"Mother!" Yue Ling exclaimed as Yi Shuyan added salt to her food again after doing it several times.

Yi Shuyan stopped in shock before she realized what she had been doing.

"I'm sorry Ling'er," she said.

"Did anything happen today, mother?" Yue Ling asked. Her mother must have gone through something disturbing today.

"It's nothing, just that students are giving me a hard time," she said. Yi Shuyan didn't want to lie but at the same time couldn't say what really happened.

Another thing was she was curious. Curious as to why Yue Ling sold their shares without her knowledge. What was the reason Yue Ling said she couldn't say before.

"Okay, mother," Yue Ling said to her mother. She knew Yi Shuyan wasn't telling the truth.

Her mother had been working for way too long to start having serious problems about her students.

In the end,they both decided not to speak about it again.

The next day.

"Wait up, don't be too fast," Yi Bingbing complained. She was still looking at the clothes but Han Li kept rushing her.

She hadn't yet met any man who was patient when it came to shopping. Even her brother complained about wasting time.

Didn't they know the saying that went,"Good things take time."? That was the same thing here.

"Okay,but please hurry up," Han Li spoke. He was a patient man but his time was fully allocated to Lehan.

Lehan could need him anytime so he had to rush with this to be able to fulfill both tasks without disappointing anybody.

As they left the shop,Yi Bingbing's phone rang.

"Hello mother," she greeted.

"Hey dear, how are you doing?" Lu Ximei asked.

I'm fine mother, just buying some things,I got something for you and father too when you get back.

"Thanks dear,are you with Songli?" Lu Ximei asked. Just in case,so she can greet her daughter's good friend.

"No mother,I'm here with Han Li," Yi Bingbing replied.

Lu Ximei thought first before replying to that.

Recently, wherever Yi Bingbing went,she heard that she was there with Han Li.

"Could you pass the phone?"Lu Ximei said.

Yi Bingbing hesitated and never really wanted to do it but she just did. Something about her mother's tone scared her.

"Hello Li,how are you?" Lu Ximei greeted.

"I'm fine madam, how are you and Mr. Yi?"

We are fine,see you soon,young man.

Lu Ximei smiled as she thought of something. Anyway,Han Li wasn't a bad man. He had grown right in front of her eyes as he was her nephew's closest friend.

Han Li was reliable, patient, smart and trustworthy.

"Why are you smiling,I hope you're not thinking,"

Before Yi Zhoujan could finish his sentence,he was slapped on the arm by his wife.

"Don't focus on what I'm thinking and start getting better," Lu Ximei spoke.

Yi Zhoujan winced as he became unhappy. Very soon,he was going to meet Han Li soon again.

As Yi Bingbing and Han Li were leaving,she noticed somebody she knew.

The same skinny figure wearing a mask this time.

The person saw her too but pretended not to have, this made Yi Bingbing smile.

She knew the kind of problem Lin Qinqing was facing. Public embarrassment once again but on another level.

How could it not be mentioned in their friend circle as they studied in the same school?

It was surprising that the lady could still have time for shopping.

Yi Bingbing made sure to show her best smile as she walked away. Even though they didn't confront each other,she knew what made the crazy woman angry.
