Qin Yingyue did not say anything else.
It had been so many years since they had parted. Every parentâs dream was to be able to taste their sonâs cooking. This brought them great happiness and comfort.
As she thought about it, Qin Yingyueâs eyes teared up.
âThankfully i didnât cry earlier.â Qin Yingyue took out a tissue and wiped her eyes.
âBut i didnât raise him. I donât feel at ease eating this meal.â
âWhat do you mean you didnât raise him?â Shen Shuyi said.
âYouâre the one who gave him life. Thatâs the greatest kindness youâve ever shown. No one is more qualified to eat what he cooks than you.â
Qin Yingyue wiped her tears. âItâs not as straightforward as you make it out to be.â
âYouâve been with Lin Jingzhan for so many years. Why havenât you picked up his ruthlessness? Youâre still so sentimental. Whatâs wrong with you?â
âThere are things you donât understand.â
Shen Shuyi took a sip of tea and did not say anything else.
Qin Yingyue was a smart person. There was no need for her to explain herself.
She would slowly figure it out if she was given some time.
She really could not persuade her beyond this.
Without personally experiencing it, she could not empathize with her friendâs situation.
âAlright, quickly wipe your tears. Lin Yi will be here soon. If he sees you crying here, what will he think?â
âIâll tell him that something got into my eye.â
âThat son of yours is so smart. Do you think you can fool him?â Shen Shuyi said.
âBut thatâs the good thing about him. He never cares much about things that have nothing to do with him.â
Just as the two of them were talking, the waiterâs voice came from outside the door. Qin Yingyue quickly wiped her tears to avoid being exposed.
Soon, the waiter came in with the dishes.
âIt looks pretty good.â Shen Shuyi nodded in satisfaction. Then, she picked up a piece of chicken for Qin Yingyue. âTry it. The food cooked by Chef Lin is not something that ordinary people can ever taste.â
Qin Yingyue took a bite and realized that the food was genuinely delicious.
Shen Shuyi could not understand the satisfaction in her heart, but she was very jealous.
That was because on Liang Cunxiaoâs fiftieth birthday, Liang Ruoxu patted her chest and said that she would make a feast for him. Moments later, she almost set the kitchen on fire.
Meanwhile, the first meal Lin Yi made for Qin Yingyue was so delicious.
Why was the difference in outcome so vast?
âItâs indeed delicious.â
As he wasnât familiar with Qin Yingyue, Lin Yi didnât say much and just smiled.
This was the first time Shen Shuyi had tasted Lin Yiâs dishes.
Previously, he had only heard from Liang Ruoxu on the phone that Lin Yiâs food was delicious.
She was finally tasting it today. It was indeed not bad. She even eaten half a bowl of rice more than usual.
The three of them ate dinner for more than an hour.
The topic of conversation at the banquet was more about Lin Yiâs daily life. It was also aimed at letting Qin Yingyue know more about Lin Yi.
It seemed that Lin Yi had a lot on his plate.
After dinner, the restaurant manager came out to send them off. Then, the three of them went down to the underground garage and prepared to take the car home.
In the underground parking lot, the Qin brothersâ car was parked diagonally opposite the A8. They could clearly see everything in front of them.
âBrother, theyâre here!â
Seeing the three of them come down the stairs, the two of them sat up straight and paid close attention to their situation.
Shen Shuyi stood beside the car and looked at Qin Yingyue. âOld Liang is on a business trip. You can stay at my place tonight.â
âIâve booked a hotel.â
âIf youâve made a reservation, just cancel it. Itâll be boring for me to stay alone at home.â
Lin Yi pursed his lips. What was their relationship?
Why was Shen Shuyi inviting her to stay at her house?
Even so, Lin Yi didnât think too much about it. He wouldnât spend so much time overthinking things that had nothing to do with him.
âAlright, since thereâs no one else at home, Iâll stay with you.â
After deciding on the route, the three of them got into their cars and prepared to go back and rest. After all, it was getting late.
On the other side, the Qin brothers looked at each other.
âBrother, things arenât looking good. Aunt is going to stay at Shen Shuyiâs house tonight. Can we wait any longer?â
Qin Yanfu was silent for a few seconds. âLetâs move now. Thereâs no need to wait any longer. We canât underestimate Aunt. She might slip away at any time.â
âGood!â
At the same time, Lin Yi drove towards the exit of the underground garage.
However, not long after he drove out, he saw a Rolls-Royce Cullinan blocking his way.
At first, Lin Yi didnât think much of it. He thought that the other party would drive off soon, but after waiting for more than ten seconds, he realized that the other party hadnât done anything. It seemed like they were intentionally stopping there to block the way.
âIs that him?â
Lin Yi was a little surprised to see the driver.
He immediately recognized Qin Yanling!
âIs this bastard here to seek revenge?â
Muttering under his breath, Lin Yi opened the car door and got out.
At the same time, the Qin brothers got out of the car.
They were standing opposite to Lin Yi.
âYouâve really forgotten the pain after recovering. How long has it been since your beating, yet you already want to take revenge on me?â
Qin Yanling looked at Lin Yi coldly.
âYouâd better get lost. I didnât come here today for you!â
In reality, he really wanted to use this opportunity to take revenge, but because of Lin Yiâs position as the team leader of Team 1, he did not dare to make a move recklessly.
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, Qin Yanling would not make a move.
âYouâre not here for me?â
These words surprised Lin Yi even more.
If they werenât here for him, there was no reason for them to block the road.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi had a bad feeling.
There were only two cars here. If they werenât here for him, could they be here for Aunt Shen?
That seemed even more impossible.
She was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liang family and the head of Huarun Group.
It didnât matter who they were, as no one dared to touch her.
Even if there were a genuine reason, they would confront the other party openly. They wouldnât resort to such a radical approach. After all, the Qin family wasnât that foolish.
At this moment, Shen Shuyi and Qin Yingyue, who realized that something was wrong, also got out of the car.
Seeing that the people standing opposite them were Qin Yanfu and Qin Yanling, Qin Yingyueâs expression changed drastically!
She knew very well that they were here for her.
âAunt, long time no see.â
Lin Yiâs expression froze when he heard this. His body froze on the spot as if he had been petrified.
The hairs on his body stood on end, as if he had heard something terrifying.
Previously, he had heard from Shen Shuyi and Liang Ruoxu that his biological motherâs name was Qin Yingyue.
She was the third daughter of the Qin Family in Yanjing!
Strictly speaking, Qin Yanling was his cousin!
Because his biological mother was their aunt!
Now, he actually called the woman beside Shen Shuyi âAuntâ!
In other wordsâ¦
At the thought of this, Lin Yiâs face turned pale, and even his lips trembled.
He turned his head mechanically and his gaze landed on Qin Yingyue.
His eyes were filled with complicated and indescribable emotions as he asked with a trembling voice,
âYouâ¦. youâre Qin Yingyue?â
