Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Li Cheng opened the car door for Ai Shutong, "Miss, I have already picked up Mother Lin. She is in the hall of Jingyuan."

Ai Shutong got out of the car and said to Li Cheng, "There are some pastries from the Beijing Hotel on the back seat. Take them down and share them with everyone."

Li Cheng immediately smiled until his teeth were exposed, "Miss, you are still thinking about us, thank you for the reward!"

Ai Shutong waved her hand and went straight to Jingyuan.

He strode into the hall and looked up. On the east side, sitting on the armchair was a lady wearing a dark purple cheongsam with a slit at the waist.

Looking at the woman who had her hair cut long and curled, Ai Shutong was stunned for a moment.

Mother Lin didn't recognize the girl in front of her who was dressed fashionably and looked charming.

"Manager Li said that an old friend wanted to see me, but I don't know the young lady. Did the young lady find the wrong person?"

As soon as Lin's mother opened her mouth, Ai Shutong recognized her, "Lin's mother, I'm Shutong."

Mother Lin was shocked. "Miss? How is that possible? My young lady is only eighteen years old this year, and you look at least twenty."

Ai Shutong smiled and said, "I put on makeup on purpose because I was afraid that the people in the Jin Mansion would recognize me."

Although Mother Lin still didn't quite believe it, Ai Shutong's voice did sound like her own daughter's.

So she hesitated and asked, "Where have you been in recent years?"

Ai Shutong picked up the chair closest to her and sat down, "I went to Shanghai."

Then she glanced at Lin's mother and asked knowingly, "What about you?"

Sure enough, Lin's mother was surprised again and asked, "How could it be? I asked someone in Shanghai to find a young lady, but there was no news for several years."

Ai Shutong turned her head to look at her, "Who did you ask to find it? Fang Baozhu?"

Mother Lin looked back at Ai Shutong with an uncertain expression, "How do you know it's Baozhu?"

Ai Shutong: "Because Fang Baozhu went to my clothing store to buy clothes, and later I investigated her and found that there was someone around her who looked very much like you."

Mother Lin: "Has Baozhu seen you?"

Ai Shutong nodded heavily, "I have seen it!"

Mother Lin lowered her head to hide the complicated look in her eyes, "She didn't tell me."

Ai Shutong: "I guessed it. Fang Baozhu is hostile to me. Maybe she doesn't want you to have more contact with me."

Mother Lin sighed deeply and said weakly, "I don't know why she did this. When we got to Shanghai, she treated me very well."

Ai Shutong did not respond to her, and the hall fell into silence in an instant.

After a while, just when Ai Shutong thought that Lin's mother was about to fall asleep, she spoke again, "Miss, how have you been these years?"

Ai Shutong took a deep breath and said, "It's not bad! I went to college and opened a clothing store. Compared with other women of this era, I think I'm doing well!"

"How about you? Are you not having a good time in Shanghai? Why did you suddenly return to Beijing?"

Mother Lin said with a desolate look on her face, "Young lady, you don't know yet, do you?! Old Li died. I rushed back to see him for the last time, but he left too hastily. When I came back, he had already been buried."

Ai Shutong thought to herself that Platoon Leader Wang was too unreliable. He said that Mother Lin had an incurable disease and would not live long, but she didn't expect it to be Old Li!

"He was lucky. He was not young anymore, but he died quickly after he got sick. He didn't suffer much, and there were people to take care of his funeral after he died." Mother Lin kept muttering.

Ai Shutong got the point, "I can take care of you until the end of your life!"

After saying that, she looked straight at Lin's mother.

Mother Lin avoided her gaze with a flickering look in her eyes.

She knew that people like Lin Ma, who had old-fashioned ideas, were still old-fashioned and conservative at heart, even if their appearance had changed. She didn't fight for what she wanted herself, but insisted on letting others propose it to her.

Ai Shutong is rich now and has come to terms with it. After all, she has taken over someone else's body, so it is her duty to be the wet nurse who raised her for the original owner. What's more, Mother Lin is a hardworking, kind and capable person.

She does not lack the ability to make money, what she lacks is only guidance and platform.

Seeing that Lin's mother didn't say anything, Ai Shutong said, "I'll give you three days to think about it. After three days, if you want to go with me, pack your luggage and come here to wait for me."

After saying that, Ai Shutong stood up and left the room without waiting for her to reply.

When she returned to the Beijing Hotel, it was just lunchtime. After eating in her room, Ai Shutong called Mary and Zheng Ruyue one after another.

Invite them to dinner at Beijing Hotel in the evening.

Mary was very happy when she received her call, "Dear, you finally remembered me. Alan had already eaten Shen's feast. I have been waiting for your feast until my hair turned white."

Ai Shutong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Dear Mary, you are exaggerating. I have been very busy these two days. I called you right after I finished my work!"

Mary's coquettish voice came from the receiver, "Ai is the best to me."

However, Zheng Ruyue rejected Ai Shutong on the phone, saying that she was now married and needed her mother-in-law's permission to go out.

Ai Shutong politely expressed her understanding.

After hanging up the phone, she felt a little regretful. According to Zheng Ruyue's mother's standards for choosing a son-in-law, it would be easy for Zheng Ruyue to marry into a large feudal family as the eldest daughter-in-law.

But Zheng Ruyue herself is a person who advocates freedom. Living in that kind of family, she thought the result would be either exploding in silence or dying in silence.

Based on her previous understanding of Zheng Ruyue, she was a person who revered life and would not easily commit suicide. So after a long time, she would probably explode...

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Ai Shutong received a call from the hotel waiter, "Hello, Miss Ai, Miss Mary is looking for you."

Ai Shutong: "Oh! Okay, please give her some drinks and snacks, I'll be down right away."

When Ai Shutong arrived on the first floor, she saw Mary and Henry chatting happily.

She stepped forward cheerfully and greeted them, "Hi! Mary. Hi! Henry. Hello!"

Mary pushed the soda bottle in her hand away, pulled Ai Shutong and pushed her to the seat next to her, "Oh! Honey, why do you look so old? Is it because of too much pressure from studying?"

Ai Shutong knocked on the table and pointed at the big diamond ring on her ring finger with her chin. "Can you tell me where this came from?"

Mary didn't show any shyness on her face. Instead, she laughed "Hahahaha".

"Henry bought this. How is it? It's big and shiny enough!"

Ai Shutong glanced at Henry with appreciation, "You have a good eye! It almost blinded me!"

"When did you get married? Why didn't you tell me?"

Mary was shocked and said, "What do you mean by marriage? I am still a little girl! How can you scare me like this!"

Ai Shutong was speechless, "You've even put on your wedding ring, and you're lying with your eyes open!"

Mary pointed at Henry and said to Ai Shutong, "If you don't believe me, ask him. We are not married!"

Ai Shutong stared at Henry, "Tell me! Are you married or not?"

Henry took a sip of coffee, "I would like to, but I haven't found a bride yet."
