"Eight o'clock, haven't you seriously considered what I've told you?" Gu Yifei looked at me and asked with a coy smile.

"Are you bored? I want to be alone for a moment. I looked at Gu Yifei. I really don't know why I didn't know he had such a face before.

"I'll tell you another secret. If you still have an impression, you should remember the person who bumped into you. He also came today, but he might be leaving soon." Gu Yifei shrugged at me, laughed, and turned to leave.

My heart lurched.

The person who bumped into me also came!

I had rolled down the stairs, but when I opened my eyes, I saw a man running away.

I thought at the time that he had accidentally hit me and was afraid of taking responsibility, so I ran for my life.

Is he here?

Could it be that he knew the Lin Family and Lin Yufan's mother?

As I thought about this, I couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Gu Yifei said that he would be leaving soon, so I must go over and see if it's that person.

My heart thumped.

I returned to the hall and looked around. There were a lot of people in the hall, and the banquet was about to begin in a moment, so there were even more people coming to congratulate him.

I didn't see that person clearly at the time. If he were to change his clothes now, I wouldn't be able to recognize him. Would it be like looking for a needle in a haystack if I were to search for him here?

Also, did Gu Yifei intentionally incite my relationship with Lin Yufan's mother to stop me from marrying into the Lin Clan?

My mind was in a whirl. Suddenly, I saw that there was an additional person beside Lin Yufan's mother, whispering in her ear …

The khaki jacket, the light gray slacks, and the thin, stooped figure reminded me of that afternoon.

It was him! It really was him.

He might have thought that I had rolled down the stairs and hadn't seen him at all, that I was here without changing my clothes, or that he hadn't thought of me at all, that I wouldn't be here at all.

My hatred welled up, and I couldn't even control myself, but I walked anxiously toward him.

I didn't know whether it was because Lin Yufan's mother said something or because the man saw me, but he suddenly turned around and quickly left from the back door.

I chased it!

But his speed made me believe again that he really meant to hit me, or else why had he fled so fast, and even looked back at me as he got into the car.

My eyesight is quite good. Even after so many years of studying, my eyesight is still 1.5. He looked back at me and I saw his face.

Thin face, long chin, thin eyes, thirty to seventy percent like a special agent's hairstyle.

He saw me coming out and got in the car without stopping for a moment.

I knew that I wouldn't be able to catch up to him, but I remembered his appearance. This person was very close to Lin Yufan's mother, otherwise he wouldn't be able to whisper in her ear like that.

When I returned to the hall, Lin Yufan's mother had already stood up. She answered the phone at the door, and when she saw me, she said, "Alright, we'll talk later."

I didn't know whether it was because I had a grudge in my heart, or because Lin Yufan's mother was really afraid of me, but when she saw me, her face no longer had the gentleness and benevolence from before. Instead, a hint of panic flashed across her face.

Instinctively, I thought she was talking to the man on the phone. He must have told her about my chase, which meant I'd seen him, which was bad for them.

I really wanted to walk over and ask, "Who is that person?" I want to ask, did you plot the murder of my child?

But, she is Lin Yufan's mother, can I go over and ask? If I ask at all costs, what will be the consequences?

"Eight o'clock. The banquet is about to begin. Let's go take a seat." At some point, Lin Yufan had come to my side, and he gently embraced my shoulder from behind.

I didn't know what to do, so I followed him to his seat.

Lin Yufan's mother recovered her composure a little, and the smile reappeared on her face. It was still warm and kind, with a smile on it.

"Today is my 56th birthday. Thank you all for coming. This cup is for everyone!" After Lin Yufan's mother finished speaking, she gently shook the dry red in her hand. Then, she slightly raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.

The applause rang out and it was time for everyone to take turns toasting.

When my relatives were almost done with their saluting, Lin Yufan grabbed my hand and was about to stand up to toast me, but Lin Jianni beat him to it.

She stood up, raised her glass, and opened her mouth to say, "Happy birthday to my dear mother! Always happy and beautiful! "

Gu Yifei had long prepared a smile on her face, holding a glass of wine and clearing her throat. "Auntie, Yiping wishes you good health and happiness!"

Lin Jia Ni and Gu Yi Fei exchanged a glance. Lin Jia Ni raised her hand to drink the wine in her hand. Just as Gu Yi Fei brought the wine to her lips, her mother stopped her. "Yi Fei, you're pregnant, so stop drinking this wine."

Gu Yifei looked at Mother Lin, then at Lin Yufan and me. "Auntie, don't worry. My glass is filled with water, so I won't do anything that would harm my baby."

"Alright then." Lin Yufan's mother happily replied and nodded her head.

The surroundings once again rang out with scattered applause.

When it was my turn with Lin Yufan, he stood up with a smile. Before he could say anything, Lin Yufan's mother spoke first, "I am very happy to be able to attend my birthday at eight o'clock today. Thank you! I forgot to introduce her to everyone. She's called Liu Eight, the goddaughter I just met. "

The moment Mother Lin finished speaking, it immediately caused a wave of sighs.

"So beautiful!"

"And I thought she was Yufan's girlfriend?"

"Where is he, Yufan's girlfriend is …"

Someone pointed at Yifei with the same finger.

I stood there, the smile slowly fading from my face.

Lin Yufan spoke up from the side, "Mom, you've already agreed to be my goddaughter at eight, but what I want to announce today is …"

"Yufan, today is your mother's birthday. What do you want to announce? Can you wait until after the birthday?" Lin Yufan's mother smiled, picked up her wine cup, and elegantly took a sip. She then said to everyone, "Everyone, continue. I hope everyone will be happy!"

I sat down in a daze. Lin Yufan hesitated for a moment and then sat down as well.

He was like a swan with its throat stuck in place. He stretched his neck and didn't say anything for a long time.
