859 Cannot Bear This

After reading the contents of the letter, Ji Qingyan and Guo Ningyue exchanged glances.

Their eyes were filled with confusion.

The contents of the letter were very different from what they had imagined.

In their heads, this letter should have recorded Lin Yi’s ident.i.ty and explained what happened at home.

Even if he was not the vengeful kind, he would have to eventually acknowledge his ancestors.

Despite this, there was nothing of the sort in this letter.

At the very least, in their eyes, there was nothing they wanted to see here.

“Mom, this letter seems to be for you. It has nothing to do with my brother,” Guo Ningyue said.

“I can tell,” w.a.n.g Cuiping said. “If I had known this would happen, I would have opened it long ago.”

“Sigh, I thought there was some shocking secret inside,” Guo Ningyue said. “I got excited about nothing.”

“You guys have watched too many television dramas,” w.a.n.g Cuiping said. “If it were me, I would write these things too, but I’m not cultured. I definitely can’t write to such a standard.”

“You would do the same thing too?”

w.a.n.g Cuiping stood up with a smile. “The two of you have never been mothers before. You won’t understand even if I tell you.”

“Why wouldn’t we understand? Wouldn’t we understand if you explain it to us?”

“As a mother, the greatest hope is for your child to live a safe and happy life, and only after that is the wish to get married and have children. She also mentioned this in her letter to me.

“You guys are always staring at your phones, worrying about all sorts of things, but in reality, daily life isn’t that complicated. The most important thing is for your child to be safe and sound.”

Both of them seemed to understand this.

Just as w.a.n.g Cuiping had said, there were some things that they did not understand since they had never been a mother before.

“But this letter is still a little strange. When she signed it, she only left her surname and didn’t mention her full name,” Guo Ningyue said.

“She felt that she wasn’t worthy of being your brother’s mother, which is why she didn’t leave her name,” w.a.n.g Cuiping said.

“Didn’t they say in the letter to act as though they’re dead?”

“That’s right.”

“That’s can’t be!”

“If she really didn’t want Lin Yi to look for her, she wouldn’t even leave her surname behind. She’d split cleanly.”

Ji Qingyan’s words inspired the two of them, especially w.a.n.g Cuiping.

“Perhaps she really can’t bear to part with him.” w.a.n.g Cuiping sighed with tears in her eyes. “The children I take care of are not my biological children. Yet, when I send them away, my heart feels like it is all knotted about. I can’t imagine sending my own son away. That feeling must be like cutting off flesh from my body. No one can bear such a thing.”

Ji Qingyan and Guo Ningyue shuddered, but they felt their hearts tremble as well.

Because one day, they would also get married and have children.

They definitely couldn’t bear to send their own child away.

“I’m guessing that this auntie really couldn’t bear to part with my brother. She left a surname and told my brother that his mother’s surname was Qin.”

Ji Qingyan fell silent for a long time.

She probably wouldn’t have sent Lin Yi away if she didn’t have a choice.

In the end, she did not even dare to leave her name behind. She could only leave her surname to prove her existence.

“Mom, I just remembered something,” Guo Ningyue said. “When my brother was sent here back then, you should have seen his biological mother, right?”

“Yes.” w.a.n.g Cuiping said, “It was raining heavily that day, but she cried even harder than the rain.”

“Then what did she look like?” Guo Ningyue asked. “My brother is so handsome. Auntie Qin shouldn’t be ugly, right?”

“She was wearing a scarf on her face. I didn’t see what she looked like, but her eyes were big and beautiful, just like my daughter-in-law.”

“Then she can’t be ugly. My sister-in-law has very pretty eyes.”

“Alright, let’s not discuss this anymore. The food is ready. We’re just waiting for the two of you to start eating. Let’s go.”

“Mom, wait a minute. I want to discuss something with Sis-in-law. We’ll go over later.”

“The dishes will get cold soon,” w.a.n.g Cuiping said. “Your sister-in-law has been out for an entire day and is hungry.”

“It’s fine. My sister-in-law isn’t hungry. We’ll join later.”

“There are no outsiders among us. I’ll bring some in for you two later. Just eat in the room,” w.a.n.g Cuiping said dotingly.

“There’s no need, there’s no need. We’ll just chat for a while, and then we’ll head out,” said Ji Qingyan.

“Alright, hurry up then.”

“Got it.”

w.a.n.g Cuiping left with the spatula and left the two of them to continue rummaging through her things.

“Sister-in-law, pack your things. I’ll go look for the recording from before.”

“Okay.”

A few minutes later, Ji Qingyan put away the blanket and Guo Ningyue found the box containing the recording.

“My mom’s moving with the times now. She knows how to mark the dates on the devices.”

Guo Ningyue was holding a black hard drive with a black mark on it, dating it from December 8 to December 24.

Connecting to the hard drive, Guo Ningyue searched for the video and asked,

“Sister-in-law, why are you looking for this?”

“I heard from Dongdong that Uncle Zhao fought with someone a few days ago. Your brother asked me to come back and look through the video to find the person who did it.”

“Huh? My father fought with someone? d.a.m.n it, who is so bold? Don’t they know who my brother is?”

“Calm down.” Ji Qingyan said, “Just let your brother handle this matter.”

“That’s true. We should just send my brother out. There’s no need for me to do anything.”

After learning the real reason for this, Guo Ningyue became serious.

“Sister-in-law, I found it. It’s here!”

On the screen, the two figures could clearly be seen. First, they were talking to Zhao Quanfu amiably, but after a few words, they started fighting.

As for what they were talking about, there was no way to know.

This was because the computer did not have a speaker, nor did it have a ready-made earpiece.

Even so, none of that mattered. They only needed to get a good look at the two men.

“Quickly take a screenshot and send it to my phone. I’ll send it to your brother.”

“I’ll do it right away. Don’t worry.”

…

At the same time, Lin Yi and Liu Wenchang had already driven to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Yangcheng.

The parking lot was filled with luxury cars.

Not only were there mature Maybachs and Bentleys, but all kinds of convertible sports cars could also be seen everywhere.

It was like a grand auto show.

Liu Wenchang’s S-Cla.s.s Mercedes-Benz, which cost more than a million yuan, was nothing in this venue.

“This place is quite luxurious,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“President Lin, you’re from Zhonghai. You don’t know the situation in Yangcheng,” Liu Wenchang said.

“Fifth Master is a person who can cover the sky with one hand. If he sets his sights on a business, he can definitely take it over.” Liu Wenchang said.

“About two months ago, he had his eye on a bathhouse for sale. It was the Water Cloud Pavilion we pa.s.sed by just now.”

“I remember.”

“But in the end, he s.n.a.t.c.hed it away and even forced the beautiful female owner of the shop to sleep with him. It’s like no laws apply to him.”
