Qin Yingyue was dressed elegantly, wearing wide-leg black pants and a white three-quarter sleeve top.
Her aura was not as fierce as Shen Shuyiâs either, instead exuding a gentle tranquility that came with maturity.
âI remember that back when you and Old Liang were about to get married, you dragged me out shopping every day.â
Qin Yingyue covered her mouth and laughed.â The clothes and quilts you picked were so old-fashioned that 1 was embarrassed to talk to you.â
âTsk, if I had good taste, I wouldâve taken your Old Lin away. Maybe Lin Yi would have been my son now.â
âIn your dreams.â
When there were no outsiders, the two women, who were over 50 years old, teased each other playfully. Both of them were open and stubborn.
âWhat have you been doing these past few months?â
âItâs a vacation. I drove there myself. I walked through a few of those small cities in the country. Itâs quite interesting to look at them now,â Qin Yingyue said as she took a sip of tea.
âYouâre quite carefree. Other than going on business trips, I havenât been anywhere else for a long time.â
âYou are shouldering such a huge family business. It canât be compared to an idle person like me.â Qin Yingyue smiled and said.
âMoreover, your Liang family can be said to be in the limelight now. Other than the Lu family who can only quietly try to suppress you, no one in the entire country dares to point fingers at you.â
âFor those few days, both Old Liang and I didnât sleep for several days in a row. Itâs been so many years since Iâve felt like this,â Shen Shuyi said.
âBut then again, I really have to thank Lin Yi for this. If he didnât create this opportunity, the Liang family wouldnât have even had the opportunity to take this risk.â
âHow is the Wang family now? Have they made any moves?â Qin Yingyue asked.
âNot yet. Itâs all very peaceful,â Shen Shuyi said.
âBut the Qin family doesnât seem to be very peaceful.â
âThe Qin family? What happened to them?â
âI heard that a few days ago, Lin Yi beat up Qin Yanling at Quanjude, but his injuries werenât serious. His wrist was fractured.â
âWhy were they fighting?â
âRemember how Lin Yi went to the Central Guards Brigade and become comrades with Qin Yanlingâs girlfriend? Your nephew suspected that something had happened between the two of them and started fighting,â Shen Shuyi said.
âThis is really mysterious. Back then, Lin Jingzhan beat up your two brothers. Now, your son beat up your second brotherâs son. These two are too much.â
âI really canât do anything about the two of them.â Qin Yingyue smiled bitterly and said, âThey only know how to make me worry.â
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Just as the two of them were chatting and laughing, there was a knock on the office door.
âThe secretary is probably here. Letâs go eat after 1 finish reading the contract.â
âCome in.â
Creakâ¦
The office door was pushed open. Shen Shuyi thought it was her secretary and did not turn around.
However, Qin Yingyue was stunned.
Seeing her best friendâs expression, Shen Shuyi subconsciously turned around and was surprised to see Lin Yi enter!
Shen Shuyiâs expression froze and she was speechless.
On the other hand, Qin Yingyueâs expression became uneasy at this moment.
She wasnât ready to see Lin Yi at this time.
Shen Shuyi was the same. This was something she had not expected.
However, she was much calmer than Qin Yingyue.
For a moment, Lin Yiâs gaze met Qin Yingyueâs in midair.
That indescribable feeling made both of them feel strange.
Blood was thicker than water. Mother and son were connected.
There were some things that could never be given up.
However, Qin Yingyue felt guilty. Her heart raced and she looked uneasy.
No matter how hard she tried, he could not control the throbbing in her heart.
The person she had been thinking about day and night was standing right in front of her.
Only she, who had experienced it herself, could understand her nervous heart. At this moment, her heart was so excited that it could not rest.
It had been more than twenty yearsâ¦
Qin Yingyue panicked when her son was standing right in front of her.
She could only forcefully turn her head around and look at the scenery outside the window.
She was afraid she would cry.
Just looking at each other for a second was enough to make her cry.
âWhy are you here? The people below didnât inform me that you were here.â Shen Shuyi pretended to be relaxed.
âExecutives like you are always overworked, so 1 came over to give you some fruits.â Lin Yi smiled.
âI didnât ask them to say anything. This is a surprise for Aunt Shen, but you seem to have a guest. Iâll leave the things here and go.â
âDonât go.â
Shen Shuyi looked at her watch. âItâs already noon. Letâs eat before leaving.â
âHuh? You want me to stay for a meal?â Lin Yi said casually.
âIâm about to call you mother-in-law. Why are you still being so polite to me? You have a client here. Why are you asking me to stay back to eat with you?â Shen Shuyi rolled her eyes at Lin Yi. âSheâs my good friend and not an outsider. Iâm not planning to bring you guys outside. Weâll go to the companyâs canteen and have a simple meal.â
Initially, Shen Shuyi had planned to go out to eat with Qin Yingyue.
But now that Lin Yi was here, this plan needed to be canceled.
All the meticulous arrangements in the world could not prepare them for such a coincidence.
If she arranged an opportunity for Qin Yingyue to meet Lin Yi, the latter would probably say that she wasnât ready for it for the rest of her life.
However, now, Lin Yi had appeared right in front of her.
This could be said to be a gift from the heavens.
Even if they could not reunite, it was still good for them to eat noodles together so that she could look at him for a while.
âThatâs not good, we donât know each other,â Lin Yi said, â1 donât mind, but Iâm afraid sheâll be embarrassed.â
âWeâre both in our fifties. Weâre both old enough to be your mother. Whatâs there to be embarrassed about?â
âHuh?â
Lin Yi muttered in his heart, âWhat a strange analogy.â
Although that was what he thought, Lin Yi didnât think too much about it.
âAlright then. Aunt Shen, your words have swayed me.â
For a long time, Lin Yi had been very respectful to Shen Shuyi.
He even felt that she was the only person he could not figure out.
Since he couldnât refuse, he naturally had to listen obediently.
âLetâs go. Itâs almost time for lunch, so letâs go eat.â
Qin Yingyue frowned slightly and secretly glared at Shen Shuyi.
However, Shen Shuyi acted as if she did not see it. She carried her bag smugly and pulled her out of the office.
Before she left, she even picked a box of cherries which they could eat after the meal.
The two of them walked out of the office. At this moment, Shen Shuyiâs secretary walked over.
âPresident Shen, Iâve already prepared the iron ore contract for Aozhou.â
âPut it on my desk. Iâll deal with it tomorrow.â
âOh, okay.â
Although the amount of the contract was quite important, Shen Shuyi didnât have the mind to deal with it anymore.
Lin Yi pursed his lips as he walked behind.
His gaze landed on the two of them, especially the unknown woman. Lin Yi was quite suspicious.
How close was their relationship that it could make a composed woman like Shen Shuyi act this way, even disregarding company contracts?
Moreover, why did that woman look at him so strangely?
