When Qiao Man and Gu Xichen talked on the phone in the morning, they did not set a time. They only said that they would meet in the cafe of the mall. When Lin Yan and Fu Qingshan did not come, she had always thought that it was a date between her and Lin Yan. She did not expect that it would turn into a three-person date It even turned into a five-person date in the end.

She knew that Ji Yunshen had secretly sent bodyguards. That was why she wanted to take advantage of the surging crowd in the mall to go shopping with Lin Yan. She wanted to meet Gu Xichen in private and give him the USB drive.

However, since the date between the two of them had become a date between five people, and Ji Yunshen and Fu Qingshan were both there at the same time, no matter how secretive she was, it would be difficult for her to escape the eyes of so many people. Of course.. Ever since Fu Qingshan had appeared with Lin Yan, she had clearly realized that now was not the right time to meet Gu Xichen. The appearance of Ji Yunshen and Tian Tian was equivalent to shattering the last bit of luck in her heart.

Therefore, she took advantage of the time when Ji Yunshen and Fu Qingshan went to smoke and sent a text message to Gu Xichen to change the appointment.

Today was Saturday, if the date was rescheduled, Gu Xichen would be happy to do so. Almost the next second after she sent the text message, he replied with the simplest three words, got it.

Just as she put down her phone, Ji Yunshen and Fu Qingshan walked to the table. Since they could no longer achieve their other goals, they could only continue shopping wholeheartedly. Moreover, it had been a long time since she had gone shopping with Lin Yan.

If she really had to go back, she could probably think of the night five years ago, after her wedding that caused a stir in Lin city, Ji Yunshen invited his friends from both parties to Barcelona to accompany them on their honeymoon to make up for the ceremonial feeling she wanted That night when she and Lin Yan went shopping at the mall.

Qiao man and Lin Yan stood up when the two tall men were about to approach them. Tian Tian also jumped down from the child’s seat. Qiao man was about to bend down and pick up the shopping bag that Ji Yunshen had been sitting next to However, a big hand stopped them in mid-air and carried them over.

Ji Yunshen easily picked up the shopping bag with one hand, and then handed Tian Tian’s hand to Qiao Man. “Tian Tian loves shopping too. You and Lin Yan lead her around. Lao Fu and I will carry the things behind and pay for it. ”

Qiao man glanced at Ji Yunshen and held Tian Tian’s Chubby hand without saying anything.

After walking out of the Leisure Bar, Qiao man and Lin Yan each held Tian Tian’s left and right hands and walked in the crowded shopping mall. The two tall men followed behind the three of them half a meter away. Their eyes seemed to have never moved away from them It was as if the passersby passing by and all the beautiful scenery in the world could not compare to their backs.

…

The two of them continued shopping until one o’clock in the afternoon. Tian Tian was about to start her afternoon nap while Qiao man and Lin Yan were both wearing very high heels. After shopping for two hours, they both felt very tired and did not have the desire to continue shopping So they chose to end this shopping trip.

Lin Yan had the same habits as before when she shopped. She bought a lot of things, a few bodyguards, and Fu Qingshan’s hands were full of shopping bags. In the crowded crowd, she was always the one with the highest number of people turning their heads.

Tian Tian was very sleepy and a little noisy. Ji Yunshen took the shopping bag in his hand and gave it to the bodyguard beside him to carry. Then, he carried Tian Tian and let her sleep in his arms.

Qiao man followed by the side. She pulled the man’s loose suit jacket that covered Tian Tian tightly. Then, she turned around and hurriedly greeted Lin Yan before walking away quickly.

Lin Yan also waved at Qiao Man. It was not until the three of them disappeared from her sight that she turned around to look at Fu Qingshan beside her and randomly found an excuse “I just took off my clothes and felt that my palms were full of sticky sweat. It’s very uncomfortable. I want to go to the bathroom to wash up now. Just wait for me here! ”

After she said that, she walked away hurriedly in her high heels.

How could Fu Qingshan not know that she was thinking of Yu Lin because of Tian Tian? When old JI and Qiao man were around, she had tried her best to hide her emotions, afraid that it would affect Qiao man’s mood. Now that Qiao man had left.. She could no longer control her emotions.

Lin Yan’s petite figure was soon drowned by the crowd. Fu Qingshan pushed the shopping bag in his hand to the bodyguard who stretched out his hand and chased after her with his long legs.

Her eyes were sore and swollen. After escaping, she felt that the soreness and swelling gradually turned into a warm liquid.

She raised her head, trying to force back the warm liquid in her eyes. Just as she reached the corner of the shopping mall, she bumped into a small person who was rushing over from the side.

Lin Yan only felt a pain in her calf. Before she could react, she heard the child’s clean and clear voice with a hint of grievance “Auntie, Xixi can’t find mummy. Can you help Xixi look for her? ”

She hurriedly raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes. When she lowered her head to look, due to excessive shock, she froze almost instinctively. She only felt that the blood in her entire body was flowing backward, as if in an instant.. Her entire body had turned into an ice-cold walking corpse.

Because the child that was hugging her leg and calling her aunt was really too similar to Fu Qingshan. It was simply a miniature version of Fu Qingshan. However, their child had clearly been burned to death in the villa fire five years ago, and this child in front of her.. Where did he come from?

“Auntie, did you hear Xixi speak? ”

The little boy raised his head and stared at her face without blinking. “Auntie, Auntie… ”

Lin Yan seemed to have finally recovered from her daze. She could not help but squat down and meet the eyes of the little boy opposite her. “You… what did you say your name was? ”

“Aunty, my name is Wen Xi. Dong’s Xi. Mom, GRANDPA, and grandma call me Xi Xi. You can also call me Xi Xi. ”

Lin Yan’s hand unconsciously caressed the boy’s exquisite face and dark, thick hair. “then… Xi Xi, you have to tell aunty how you got separated from mom. That way, Aunty can help Xi Xi find mom quickly. ”

Wen Xi usually paid the most attention to his hairstyle. When his auntie messed it up, he only stretched out his hand to tidy it up. His awkward look was exactly the same as that man’s.

So, he really had a child with another woman outside?

Or, was everything just a coincidence?

And Wen Xi was just a child who happened to look very similar to him in this vast world?

His mind was in a mess, as if there were countless insects gnawing on him.

“Just now, Mommy said that she was thirsty, so Xixi took advantage of Mommy’s time to go to the bathroom to line up to buy ice drinks. But when I went back to the bathroom to look for Mommy after buying the ice drinks, mommy disappeared. ”

“Is that so? Why is Xixi so sensible? ”

Lin Yan’s hands held both of the boy’s arms. This kind of inexplicable affection and inexplicable closeness gave her a fright.

She tried her best to control her hands before withdrawing them “But… “. “Xixi, you have to remember that in the future, you can’t take advantage of Mommy’s absence to buy things. If she’s thirsty, you can ask her to accompany you and then you can buy it for her to drink. This way, you won’t get separated and Xixi won’t be unable to find mommy, understand? ”

Wen Xi nodded, and a faint shadow of disappointment appeared on her delicate eyebrows. “I know I’m wrong, Auntie. What should we do now? ”

Lin Yan smiled gently and reached out to Rub Wen Xi’s hair. “Auntie will take you to the bathroom door and wait for mom. If you can’t wait for mom, Auntie will take you to the radio station and use the radio to find mom, okay? ”

After Wen Xi heard this, a bright smile finally appeared on her face. “Okay, thank you, Auntie! ”

…

After Wen Nuan came out of the bathroom, she could not find Wen xi anywhere. She was so anxious that she was about to cry.

She searched through the surging crowd again and again. When she could not stand the terrifying thoughts that kept popping up in her mind, she called the police.

Then, she continued to search upstairs and downstairs. She asked almost everyone who passed by, but no one said that they had seen Wen Xi.

She was like a crazy person. Whenever she saw a boy in black in the crowd, she would run up to check to see if it was her Wen Xi. The parents who were leading the child thought that she was mentally ill Almost the next second, she carried the child and hurried away.

She wore seven-centimeter high heels and searched the mall again and again until the police arrived at the scene. Then, as if she had seen hope, she continued to follow them.

After searching for an unknown amount of time, a passerby heard her describe the child she was looking for and pointed to the bathroom upstairs “Just now, I saw a very beautiful woman at the corner of the smoking area on the third floor, holding the hand of a five-or six-year-old boy. I heard the boy call her aunt and ask her to help find his mother. I wonder if she’s still there… ”

Wen nuan quickly thanked her and ran upstairs as if her life depended on it.

Lin Yan was not familiar with this shopping mall. She led Wen Xi through many detours before they found the bathroom door where Wen Xi said she had gotten separated from her mother. In order not to make Wen Xi wait any longer, she also did not want Wen Xi’s mother to be anxious She thought about waiting outside the bathroom for ten minutes. If Wen Xi’s Mother did not come back to find her, she would bring Wen Xi to the broadcast room and use the broadcast to look for her mother.

The police and Wen Nuan came to the third floor. Following the clues left by the passerby, they found the corner of the smoking area. However, there was no sign of the beautiful woman she had mentioned.

Wen Nuan stomped her feet anxiously and her tears kept falling. “How could I be so careless? How could I leave Xixi alone in the same place? ”

Although the surrounding police were trying their best to comfort her, Wen nuan seemed to have fallen into a deep pit that she had dug herself and could not walk out no matter how hard she tried.

The person in the middle was confused while the bystander was clear. Although Wen Nuan’s thoughts were in a mess, the police beside her were very clear-headed. Moreover, because they had been in contact with all kinds of cases all year round, their thoughts were more agile. Therefore, they asked Wen Nuan and her child about the place where they had lost their child Only then did Wen nuan seem to remember something. “Yes, yes, I taught me, Xi Xi. If you get separated from your mother, go back to where you were and wait for me. He… He is very likely to go back to the bathroom door and wait for me… ”

After saying that, she ran towards the direction of the bathroom where she had separated from Wen Xi. The few police officers behind her also ran behind Wen Nuan. One had to know that in such a crowded shopping mall, if one wanted to find a child who had separated from his mother.. It was not easy. They could not let go of any clues.

When the group of people arrived outside the washroom where Wen Nuan and Wen Xi had just separated, they caught up with Lin Yan and Wen Xi walking out. Wen Nuan ran in front. Because she was so anxious, she did not control her steps properly and almost bumped into Lin Yan.

Their gazes met unexpectedly. They were both slightly stunned and their expressions changed.

Wen Xi saw Wen Nuan and quickly let go of Lin Yan’s hand. She ran over and hugged Wen Nuan’s thigh tightly. “Mama, Mama, Mama, I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time. You’ve finally come back to look for me! ”

The police officer following Wen Nuan heaved a sigh of relief when the child found his mother. He walked over quickly and showed Lin Yan his police identification card. His tone of voice carried the typical righteous tone of a police officer “Miss, we are the police officers from the South Star Street police station in Lin city. We just received a report from this miss saying that the child had gotten lost with her in the shopping mall. According to the rules, we need you to follow me back to the police station to make a statement. Can you please cooperate with us? ”

Lin Yan took another deep look at the warmth on the other side before shifting her gaze away from her face. She smiled at the few police officers in front of her and said, “okay, no problem. I’m willing to cooperate. ”

In the crowded shopping mall on Saturday, Lin Yan walked in front in her high heels, followed by Wen Nuan and Wen Xi, followed by a few police officers. Soon, she disappeared from the eyes of passersby.

About half an hour later, the police car steadily stopped at the entrance of the police station.

After the group of people entered, they walked to the police officer’s desk and sat down. Then, they began to conduct a routine interrogation of Lin Yan who was sitting across from them.

“May I ask your name, Identity Card number, home address, and occupation? ”

Lin Yan’s starry eyes slightly curved into a smile. She reached out her hand to stroke the long wavy hair on her shoulder, and then said gently, “Name is Lin Yan. Identity Card number is 221305199007030520. Current address is Qingshan Villa, no. 27 Binhai Road. As for occupation, I’m currently unemployed. Because I just came out of prison, I haven’t found a job yet! ”

When the policeman sitting opposite Lin Yan heard her say that her name was Lin Yan, a graceful figure almost immediately appeared in his mind. Everyone knew that the name Lin Yan was once a member of the upper-class society It was even a taboo in the entire Lin city.

There were rumors that back then, the Lin family was besieged by a few large military and political forces led by the Fu family, which had a long-standing feud. As a result, the Lin family fell from the title of upper-class Socialite in Lin city to Mrs. Fu, who bore her husband’s surname. It was also because of her marriage to Fu Qingshan As the main culprit of the fall of the Lin family, she held a grudge against the Fu family from then on. As a result, she personally used a huge fire to destroy the Qingshan Villa worth billions and the Fu family’s blood and bones that were still in their infancy.

Fu Qingshan was severely injured in the fire. The thick smoke entered his lungs and he was unconscious for three months. When he woke up, Lin Yan had been sent to prison for three months because of intentional arson. Some people even said that.. Fu Qingshan was unhappy that the Fu family sent Lin Yan to prison, so he replaced all the people in the prison.

Finally, when he saw Lin Yan, who was hiding in a corner of the prison, she raised her head and looked at his handsome face against the light. She said lightly, “Fu Qingshan, I was the one who set the fire. ”

No one knew what happened inside. They only heard the man’s angry roar, echoing in the dark corridor of the prison for a long time.

Some people said that from that day on, the name Lin Yan became a taboo.

But probably no one would have thought that after personally setting the fire to burn down a villa worth billions of dollars and burning her own child to death, she would reappear in the eyes of everyone after only four years.

Did Fu Qingshan hate her so much that he had to personally destroy her, or did he love her so much that he became obsessed with her that after letting her go, he indulged her so much that he only let her spend four years in prison?

The police had clearly already known her true identity from the recollection in their minds and from what Lin Yan had said. After all, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse, even if Lin Yan was no longer that high and mighty young lady from back then.. She was no longer even Fu Qingshan’s wife.

But with the tricks and scheming she had used on Fu Qingshan, or the fact that she did not seem to be in a sorry state when she spoke just now, it made people feel that this woman was not simple, and even felt an inexplicable fear.

The police had already quickly copied down Lin Yan’s answer and continued to ask “then… Miss Lin, how did you get together with this child? Do you know that he and his mother have already gotten separated in the mall? Please describe the process to US briefly. ”

Lin Yan’s fair and straight legs were lazily crossed together. Her fingers played with her hair that had fallen down, and a warm smile remained on her lips “I met this child on the way to the bathroom. At that time, he was crying to me that he could not find his mother. I was afraid that he would be taken away by the bad guys, so I brought him to find his mother. I even stood at the door of the bathroom for a long time, waiting for his mother to return to the place where the two of them got separated to find him… “. “… “…”

Speaking up to this point, she pondered for a few seconds before nodding slightly.”… Yes, this is the rough outline of what happened, Mr. Police officer.”

The police officer who made the statement nodded. Then, he exchanged glances with his colleague beside him and asked, “Miss Lin, just now, I saw that you and this child’s Mother didn’t look very natural. Did the two of you know each other before? was what happened at the mall today just a coincidence? ”

“As expected of a police officer. His ability to observe people’s expressions meticulously is much better than an ordinary person’s. ”

Lin Yancong’s slender fingers continued to play with her hair that was hanging down. Her appearance was still extremely nonchalant. There was no sign of anger or anger at all “I am indeed an old acquaintance of the child’s mother. She was my senior when I was studying at university in England. She had a very deep relationship with me. However, due to a lot of things, we did not contact each other after that. I can seriously and responsibly say that it was really just a coincidence that I met this child by chance today. ”

This eliminated the suspicion of deliberately creating a panic. It also eliminated the suspicion of abducting and selling the child. It also eliminated the suspicion of implicating the child because of the grudges between adults.

Other than that, there was only the last step in the procedure, bail!

The police officer who made the statement and the other policemen beside him looked at each other for a few seconds. Then, they gripped the pen in their hands and said with difficulty, one word at a time, “Miss Lin, it’s like this. Although we have already eliminated the other suspects, we still need your family to make a trip here. So, please see if your family can… ”

Lin Yan’s expression was still as calm as ever, and her voice was even more calm. “Okay, I understand. What’s the problem? ”

As she spoke, she took out her phone from her handbag and dialed a number.

Wen Nuan Hugged Wen Xi and sat on a chair about half a meter away from Lin Yan. When she heard that she was going to make a call, she hurriedly hugged Wen Xi and stood up. She then said to the few police officers who had just rushed to the scene to be on duty “officers, can I take my son and leave first? I still have an old man who is paralyzed in bed at home and needs to be taken care of. I can’t leave for a long time. ”

The few police officers naturally wanted to be flexible, but Lin Yan’s matter had not been settled yet. If they were to rashly ask her to leave, Lin Yan would probably have superfluous thoughts.

Just as the few police officers were in a difficult position and did not know what to say, Lin Yan lightly said something “Mr. Police officer, let her leave first. There is indeed an old man who is paralyzed in bed and needs to be taken care of. I can’t leave for a long time. I have plenty of time. It doesn’t matter. ”

Because of her words, warmth quickly looked over. She did not seem to think that she would be so generous to let her go.

In her past contacts, if she met someone she did not like, or someone she did not want to see again in her life, they would either mock or sneer at her. They would definitely not be as casual as they were now. They would not be unperturbed about being spoiled or humiliated. That kind of gaze was as if they were looking at everyone Including her, they were all like bystanders. It was not worth her stirring up any waves.

With this arrangement, the few police officers were naturally more than happy. They quickly responded, “Oh, I see. Then I’m really grateful for Miss Lin’s cooperation. ”

Because of the police officers’ words, Wen Nuan snapped out of her daze. “Lin Yan, long time no see. Thank you for Xiaoxi just now. ”

This was the first time Wen Nuan had spoken to her since their unexpected reunion. Moreover, it was after an hour that she said it had been a long time.

Thinking about it carefully, it had indeed been a long time since they last met.

Ever since she had abandoned Lin Nancheng, who had been imprisoned, and left the country to acknowledge Wen Jiaming as her ancestor, they had not seen each other for about five years.

Lin Yan looked at her and Wen nuan smiled coldly. “It’s okay. It’s nothing. ”

The expression on Wen Nuan’s face was rich with disbelief, disappointment, and a little unwillingness.

She probably imagined that Lin Yan would lose control of her emotions and ask her about this child. Why did she look so much like Fu Qingshan? Was She fu Qingshan’s child Was it the reason why she left Lin Nancheng, who was imprisoned five years ago, alone?
