Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 101 Tracking
Lu Zhiyan pulled Nan Xu into his arms and gently comforted her, "Don't take it to heart, he's just talking nonsense."

Nanxu's eyes filled with tears, and she began to waver.

She didn't believe Lin Jingshu was that kind of person, yet Nanshan spoke with such confidence.

Nan Xu clenched her fingers, her mind wavering.

It's better to ask about some things face-to-face.

She wouldn't blame Lin Jingshu; she had no right to.

Lin Jingshu gave birth to her and raised her, even if that's true. But it's not all Lin Jingshu's fault; that man's fault is also part of the problem.

He abandoned Lin Jingshu and she as well.

Lu Zhiyan saw it all and felt the pain in his heart.

But there was nothing he could do; it was someone else's family matter, and he couldn't interfere.

Even after getting into the car, Nanxu's eyes were still slightly red.

"Lu Zhiyan, take me home." Nan Xu lowered her head, her thoughts unreadable.

Lu Zhiyan knew, of course, that the home Nan Xu was referring to was not a villa, but the old Lin family residence.

He simply grunted an "Mm," started the car, and drove off.

Half an hour later, the car came to a smooth stop outside the Lin family's old house.

As soon as the car stopped, Nanxu couldn't wait to get off.

"Are you going back today?" Lu Zhiyan asked, his voice tinged with inquiry.

Nan Xu didn't answer; she didn't know either.

In that brief moment of hesitation, Lu Zhiyan already knew the answer.

"Call me when you want to go home, and I'll come pick you up." A hint of warmth lingered in his cool tone.

Someone was waiting for her to come home.

She used to think she was just young and inexperienced, but now it seems she may have grown up quite a bit.

"Okay," Nan Xu replied calmly.

As Lu Zhiyan watched Nanxu walk into the old house step by step, his eyes were filled with heartache and reluctance.

Lu Zhiyan only drove away when he could no longer see Nan Xu.

It looks like he'll be spending another night alone in his room.

Pushing open the gate of the old house, Lin Jingshu was not seen; there were only a few servants cleaning in the living room.

Upon seeing Nanxu walk in, one of the maids stepped forward.

"Miss, you're back." She said, bowing respectfully.

Nan Xu hummed in agreement and then asked, "Where's my mom?"

"The young lady is swimming in the pool in the back garden."

Nan Xu didn't say anything more and walked straight towards the swimming pool in the back garden.

From afar, Nanxu spotted Lin Jingshu swimming nimbly in the pool.

Although Lin Jingshu is nearly fifty years old, she maintains her figure very well, with no excess fat around her waist and a fair and slender body.

Nanxu sat quietly on a beach chair by the pool, waiting.

A moment later, Lin Jingshu walked up the poolside railing, picked up the towel placed beside her, and draped it over herself.

Upon seeing Nan Xu, Lin Jing Shu's face lit up with joy, her tone filled with delight.

"How did you come?"

Seeing Lin Jingshu's joyful expression at her arrival, she hesitated to speak.

After hesitating for a moment, Nan Xu slowly spoke.

"Mom, I went to see Dad today, and he said... he said I'm not his daughter."

Nan Xu's words were like a bolt from the blue.

Lin Jingshu was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained her composure and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The calm he maintained on the surface was merely a facade; in his heart, he was already filled with anxiety.

She didn't know whether she should tell Nanshan the truth; she was no longer a child and perhaps it was time for her to know the truth.

Yes, if that's the case.

Will all of Nanxu's good expectations for her be in vain?
She nervously clenched her fingers, trying to calm herself down.

Nan Xu looked at Lin Jing Shu, but ultimately didn't speak. These things weren't that important; as long as outsiders knew she was Nan Shan's daughter, that was enough.

She didn't want Lin Jingshu to become a target of public criticism; she only wanted Lin Jingshu to live a noble life.

Just like Nanshan said, she was a stain on Lin Jingshu's life, but a stain is a stain, she didn't care that much.

As long as Lin Jingshu's lifelong pride should not be erased by her, so what if she is a stain?

Seeing that Nan Xu didn't ask any more questions, Lin Jingshu finally felt relieved.

"By the way, Mom, I heard from Xiaoxiao that there's going to be an auction in France soon. Do you want to go?"

As she spoke, Nanxu was no longer sad; instead, her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

How could Lin Jingshu not understand her daughter?

She knows everything about a single action or expression.

The reason she's asking this now is clearly because she has a goal but it's inconvenient for her to go there herself.

"I really want to go!" Lin Jingshu cooperated by expressing her "desire" to go.

Nan Xu smiled and raised her head, a hint of smugness in her heart. "That's perfect. I've got my eye on a limited edition brooch. Can you just bid for it for me?"

"Okay." Lin Jingshu pinched Nan Xu's cheek, her tone full of doting affection.

It was still early, and the two of them had nothing to do at home, so they decided to go shopping at the mall.

Nan Xu drove Lin Jingshu to the mall.

As soon as their car parked in the underground parking garage, a black car blocked their way from behind.

Nan Xu frowned as she looked at the black car parked behind her in the rearview mirror.

She wasn't unaware of the black car; she noticed it as soon as they left the old house and it had been following them ever since.

At first, she thought it was a coincidence, perhaps because they had the same destination, so she didn't think much of it.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that the visitors are not well-intentioned.

Lin Jingshu also noticed Nan Xu's unusual behavior and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Mom, we're being followed." A fierce glint flashed in Nan Xu's eyes.

He then immediately took out his phone and sent his location to Lu Zhiyan.

Lin Jingshu immediately opened her phone and sent a message to Lin Jingheng, informing him of the mall's address.

At the same time, he hid the pin containing the tracker, which he always kept in his bag, in the pocket of his inner garment.

Two men wearing low-brimmed baseball caps got out of the black car.

Nan Xu and Lin Jingshu held their breath almost simultaneously.

Nanxu quickly locked the car and tried to find something handy to use for self-defense.

After searching for a long time, I only found a car repair wrench in the back seat.

It's probably something the driver forgot to leave behind while repairing the car.

Lin Jingshu habitually carries a stun gun with her when she goes out, but the voltage is only 40V.

While it won't knock someone unconscious, it's more than enough for self-defense.

The man walked to the car and knocked on the window; his hoarse voice came through.

"Excuse me, our young lady would like to discuss something with you. Please cooperate."

Nan Xu narrowed her eyes. What a big face! Let her go see him.

Nan Xu seemed to ignore him completely, not even giving him a second glance.

The man knocked again, and when there was no response, he knocked a few more times.

The man, not wanting to cause any trouble, tried to get Nanxu out by pulling the doorknob.

Nan Xu tightened her grip on the wrench.

"Mom, if he gets violent, I'll handle this. For the other one, you can use a stun gun or your high heels."

Lin Jingshu is used to wearing high heels, especially stilettos.

They might not be that powerful, but if they get hit, they'll be covered in bruises.

Lin Jingshu understood immediately after hearing Nan Xu's words and quickly took off her high heels.

She never imagined that one day high heels would be used as weapons.

Then she became someone holding a stun gun in one hand and a high heel in the other.
