She is so pitiful? I choose to pity myself first

Jiang Rou smiled and said, "By the way, I heard that you and Gu Shiye are together. I haven't congratulated you yet. I knew that you would be together sooner or later."

Lin Tingyu smiled and said, "Thank you."

Just then, the maid came outside to call them.

"Madam, Miss Lin, the eldest lady is back, and the master asked you to go downstairs for dinner."

"Let's go."

Jiang Rou and Lin Tingyu smiled at each other.

Jiang Rou is living a good life now. She specially called Lin Tingyu today to return the ointment to her, just to resolve a knot in her past.

Jiang Rou is living a good life now, so she doesn't have the same jealousy towards Lin Tingyu as other people do towards her. Instead, she feels more relieved.

Lin Tingyu could also see that if Jiang Rou was not truly relieved, there was no need for her to return the ointment to her.

Even if she lost it, she and Gu Shiye would not know.

But Jiang Rou still returned it to her personally and apologized to her.

This made Lin Tingyu feel more favorable towards Jiang Rou.

When the two of them went downstairs, Shen Zhinian was actually more familiar with Jiang Rou than before. They were much better together and really looked like old classmates who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

However, what Lin Tingyu didn’t expect was that she actually knew Uncle Chen’s daughter!

"Hello, you are Aunt Shen's daughter, right? Lin Tingyu, I have heard of you and read your books."

The woman looked a little tired and old. She didn't look like she was in her thirties or forties at all. She seemed to be several years older than her actual age.

This surprised Lin Tingyu a little.

Logically speaking, the Chen family is so rich, and as the eldest daughter of the Chen family, she can't have a hard life...

At least in terms of material things, she should not lack anything.

That's on the spiritual level.

After Lin Tingyu recognized who the other person was, his mood suddenly became complicated.

Because she felt...

She might know why Uncle Chen's daughter is not in a good mental state.

"Hello, I'm Chen Yan."

Sure enough, I didn’t admit my mistake.

Lin Tingyu had mixed feelings.

Chen Yan was a name she had heard of in her previous life, and she had only seen her photo on the Internet.

In this life, she had an intersection with the people in Chen Yan's life...

Li Nian.

Since Lin Tingyu started her graduate studies, she has had no contact with her former roommate Li Nian.

Li Nian did not continue her postgraduate studies. She took a year off to give birth to a child, but she returned soon to continue her studies.

When Lin Tingyu was in her first year of graduate school, Li Nian had already graduated from college, and after that they no longer had the chance to meet each other by chance at school.

Previously, she and Li Nian only had some interactions because they lived in the same dormitory, but later, Li Nian got married and had to take care of children, so she almost always went to school as a day student, and the only interaction they had was when they had the same classes.

But Li Nian had already taken a leave of absence from school, so the courses he needed to make up later were mostly staggered with those of Lin Tingyu. In addition, starting from his junior year, Lin Tingyu often did internships in hospitals, while Li Nian had no intention of becoming a doctor. He continued to finish his studies just to get a bachelor's degree from Imperial Capital University.

Lin Tingyu hasn't thought about Li Nian for a long time, but...

Now she had no choice but to think about it.

because……

Uncle Chen's daughter Chen Yan is...

Fu Hansheng's wife!

In other words, what Li Nian destroyed was Chen Yan's marriage...

The child she gave birth to was the child of Chen Yan's husband...

Although Li Nian was deceived in the beginning, and Fu Hansheng didn't let her know that he was married until she got pregnant, but later on Li Nian could have clearly chosen not to have the child, not to have the wonderful material conditions that Fu Hansheng gave her, and to choose not to be a mistress...

But Li Nian still didn't give up.

While enjoying everything Fu Hansheng gave her, she complained about herself and felt that it was good to have Lin Tingyu, the only person who knew everything, to confide in. But every time she finished talking to herself, she would hate Lin Tingyu and was afraid that Lin Tingyu would tell her secrets...

Whether it was the fact that Li Nian already knew that Fu Hansheng was married, yet she chose to give birth to his child and accept the money he gave her, or the fact that Li Nian later confided in her but hated her for knowing too much and was on guard against her...

Lin Tingyu found it difficult to comment.

So afterwards, Lin Tingyu consciously stayed away from Li Nian. When Li Nian was occasionally in a bad mood and wanted to confide in her, the only one who knew her secret, Lin Tingyu would quickly find an excuse to leave and didn't want to listen at all.

I thought I would never have any contact with Li Nian again in this life, but I didn't expect...

Lin Tingyu looked at Chen Yan in front of him, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

If Uncle Chen and her mother were to get married, then Chen Yan...

She would become her mother's stepdaughter, her nominal sister...

But she knew that someone had destroyed Chen Yan's marriage, and that her husband had an illegitimate child outside...

How to do?

Lin Tingyu was a little confused for a moment.

It would have been fine if she didn’t know Chen Yan before, but even if she knew about Li Nian’s affairs, she didn’t know the other people involved in this matter.

But now, she knows...

Moreover, although Chen Yan was not in a very good mental state, her attitude towards her and Shen Zhinian was still good.

"I know you're worried that we won't accept Aunt Shen."

After dinner, when they went out for a walk together, Chen Yan deliberately walked behind and chatted with Lin Tingyu.

"But don't worry. I'm almost 40 years old. My mother passed away when I was very young. My father has been taking care of me and my brother all these years... It's been almost 20 years now. My father has remained single for us, and he has been helping to take care of my nephew even after he retired..."

"We actually all hope that he can have someone who understands his feelings and stays with him, so that he won't be lonely anymore. However, when my dad first told us about this, my brother and I were a little worried, fearing that these people were only after my dad's money."

"However, after we knew it was Aunt Shen, we felt relieved."

Chen Yan smiled and said:

"Aunt Shen is really a very kind person, and she is very content. She never asks my dad for money. She only has eyes for my dad. She is not even interested in the fact that my dad was the president of Chen Corporation before he retired... In her eyes, it seems that our family property should belong to me and my brother, and she is not interested."

Chen Yan saw this point very accurately.

Shen Zhinian...is indeed a person who doesn't care about money.

"and……"

Chen Yan said something that Lin Tingyu didn't know:

"Do you know? A big guy my dad knows once pursued your mom when he was young."

"That big guy has a strong background, is very rich, and has power. But your mother chose your father without hesitation between them, and has not changed her mind for decades."

"I heard that your father could only be a small police officer in a small town because of that big guy."
