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 Yiâs identity 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.
âMom, this letter seems to be for you. It has nothing to do with my brother,â Guo Ningyue said.
âI can tell,â Wang Cuiping said. âIf I had known this would happen, I would have opened it long ago.â
âSigh, I thought there was some shocking secret inside,â Guo Ningyue said. âI got excited about nothing.â
âYou guys have watched too many television dramas,â Wang Cuiping said. âIf it were me, I would write these things too, but Iâm not cultured. I definitely canât write to such a standard.â
âYou would do the same thing too?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wang Cuiping stood up with a smile. âThe two of you have never been mothers before. You wonât understand even if I tell you.â
âWhy wouldnât we understand? Wouldnât we understand if you explain it to us?â
âAs 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.
âYou guys are always staring at your phones, worrying about all sorts of things, but in reality, daily life isnât that complicated. The most important thing is for your child to be safe and sound.â
Both of them seemed to understand this.
Just as Wang Cuiping had said, there were some things that they did not understand since they had never been a mother before.
âBut this letter is still a little strange. When she signed it, she only left her surname and didnât mention her full name,â Guo Ningyue said.
âShe felt that she wasnât worthy of being your brotherâs mother, which is why she didnât leave her name,â Wang Cuiping said.
âDidnât they say in the letter to act as though theyâre dead?â
âThatâs right.â
âThatâs canât be!â
âIf she really didnât want Lin Yi to look for her, she wouldnât even leave her surname behind. Sheâd split cleanly.â
Ji Qingyanâs words inspired the two of them, especially Wang Cuiping.
âPerhaps she really canât bear to part with him.â Wang Cuiping sighed with tears in her eyes. âThe 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 canât imagine sending my own son away. That feeling must be like cutting off flesh from my body. No one can bear such a thing.â
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 couldnât bear to send their own child away.
âIâm guessing that this auntie really couldnât bear to part with my brother. She left a surname and told my brother that his motherâs surname was Qin.â
Ji Qingyan fell silent for a long time.
She probably wouldnât have sent Lin Yi away if she didnât 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.
âMom, I just remembered something,â Guo Ningyue said. âWhen my brother was sent here back then, you should have seen his biological mother, right?â
âYes.â Wang Cuiping said, âIt was raining heavily that day, but she cried even harder than the rain.â
âThen what did she look like?â Guo Ningyue asked. âMy brother is so handsome. Auntie Qin shouldnât be ugly, right?â
âShe was wearing a scarf on her face. I didnât see what she looked like, but her eyes were big and beautiful, just like my daughter-in-law.â
âThen she canât be ugly. My sister-in-law has very pretty eyes.â
âAlright, letâs not discuss this anymore. The food is ready. Weâre just waiting for the two of you to start eating. Letâs go.â
âMom, wait a minute. I want to discuss something with Sis-in-law. Weâll go over later.â
âThe dishes will get cold soon,â Wang Cuiping said. âYour sister-in-law has been out for an entire day and is hungry.â
âItâs fine. My sister-in-law isnât hungry. Weâll join later.â
âThere are no outsiders among us. Iâll bring some in for you two later. Just eat in the room,â Wang Cuiping said dotingly.
âThereâs no need, thereâs no need. Weâll just chat for a while, and then weâll head out,â said Ji Qingyan.
âAlright, hurry up then.â
âGot it.â
Wang Cuiping left with the spatula and left the two of them to continue rummaging through her things.
âSister-in-law, pack your things. Iâll go look for the recording from before.â
âOkay.â
A few minutes later, Ji Qingyan put away the blanket and Guo Ningyue found the box containing the recording.
âMy momâs moving with the times now. She knows how to mark the dates on the devices.â
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,
âSister-in-law, why are you looking for this?â
...
âI 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.â
âHuh? My father fought with someone? Damn it, who is so bold? Donât they know who my brother is?â
âCalm down.â Ji Qingyan said, âJust let your brother handle this matter.â
âThatâs true. We should just send my brother out. Thereâs no need for me to do anything.â
After learning the real reason for this, Guo Ningyue became serious.
âSister-in-law, I found it. Itâs here!â
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.
âQuickly take a screenshot and send it to my phone. Iâll send it to your brother.â
...
âIâll do it right away. Donât worry.â

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 Wenchangâs S-Class Mercedes-Benz, which cost more than a million yuan, was nothing in this venue.
âThis place is quite luxurious,â Lin Yi said with a smile.
âPresident Lin, youâre from Zhonghai. You donât know the situation in Yangcheng,â Liu Wenchang said.
âFifth 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.â Liu Wenchang said.
âAbout two months ago, he had his eye on a bathhouse for sale. It was the Water Cloud Pavilion we passed by just now.â
âI remember.â
âBut in the end, he snatched it away and even forced the beautiful female owner of the shop to sleep with him. Itâs like no laws apply to him.â
