Having gotten what she wanted, Lin Mingmo did not linger any longer.

After glancing at his phone, he pretended to say, "Grandma Sheng urged me to go back. Mom, I can't accompany you."

"Go back now and stop throwing tantrums! The Sheng family has treated you well enough!" Yao Yuhui lectured. "It's better for everyone if you and your spouse have a harmonious relationship."

"Also, families like the Sheng family prioritize the continuation of their bloodline, so you should hurry up and get pregnant. When was your last period?"

Yao Yuhui started chattering non-stop.

As if she suddenly remembered something, Yao Yuhui frowned and said, "Find some time to go to the hospital for a checkup to see if there's anything wrong with your body..."

Lin Mingmo smiled calmly and asked casually, "Mom, was it very painful when you gave birth to me and my sister? My sister and I are only one year apart in age, so I should have been born naturally, right?"

Yao Yuhui's expression froze again. She was stunned for a moment, but didn't answer. She urged, "Okay, go back quickly."

After all, they don't have as much tenderness as ordinary mothers and daughters.

After leaving home, Lin Mingmo went straight to the medical identification center and submitted samples. When the identification report came out, the truth was revealed.

However, it will take a week to get the report.

It was already dusk when we left the appraisal center.

Lin Mingmo looked at the gradually fading orange color in the sky, not knowing where to go.

In the vast Jiangjin River, there was no place that made her feel safe.

"Teacher Lin! Teacher Lin!"

Lin Mingmo didn't think that this was calling her at first.

But the sound was getting closer and more familiar.

Lin Mingmo turned around curiously and saw a teenage girl running towards her.

Lin Mingmo looked carefully and found that it was a student she had taught before.

She hadn't heard this name for so long that she almost forgot it.

"Shanshan?" After seeing the girl's face clearly, Lin Mingmo called out tentatively.

After all, most of the students she taught were under ten years old, and their appearance would of course change as they grew up.

She didn't remember most of them, but Feng Qingshan was very talented and was the student she had taught for the longest time, so she left a deep impression on her.

"Teacher Lin, you still remember me!" Feng Qingshan was a little excited, and before she could catch her breath, she said excitedly, "Teacher Lin, I was accepted by the Central Dance Academy!"

"Really?" Lin Mingmo's eyes lit up.

She taught Feng Qingshan for nearly a year, and later recommended her to her teacher for more professional training.

I didn’t expect that she could make it this far and even be admitted to the top dance institution in the country.

"Teacher Lin, I'm so grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have discovered my love for ballet, let alone embarked on this path!"

The little girl was really excited, crying and laughing, hugging Lin Mingmo and expressing her thoughts incoherently.

The depression that had been accumulating in Lin Mingmo for so long was also dispelled by this lovely little girl.

"Shanshan, it's because of your talent and hard work that you can get to where you are today." She smiled gently.

"If it weren't for Teacher Lin's performance, I wouldn't have insisted on learning ballet... so thank you!"

"Then... I will accept this gratitude with peace of mind!" Lin Mingmo said to Feng Qingshan. "To celebrate your promotion, the teacher will treat you to a meal."

"Great! I'll call my mom!" Feng Qingshan said to Lin Mingmo while dialing the number, "Can I go to McDonald's?"

"Okay, okay!" Lin Mingmo agreed with a smile. "It's hard to control your diet, so let's indulge ourselves today!"

At McDonald's restaurant, Feng Qingshan grabbed a Big Mac and devoured it with relish.

Lin Mingmo was sitting opposite her, looking at her with a smile.

Not long after, Feng Qingshan's mother, Ms. Luo, rushed over and thanked Lin Mingmo repeatedly, saying that she had caused her trouble.

Lin Mingmo was deeply moved by her care and love for Feng Qingshan.

She recalled that when she was chatting with Ms. Luo in the past, Ms. Luo mentioned that she had enrolled Shanshan in many interest classes just to help her find a few that she really liked.

She doesn't force her children to achieve anything, and lets everything take its course.

It is not necessary for the child to marry into a wealthy family, as long as she is happy...

This is a normal expression of a mother's love for her child.

Looking at the mother and daughter having so much fun together, Lin Mingmo suddenly felt like she was redundant.

She stood up and said goodbye.

It was completely dark.

The colorful neon lights of various shops were lit up, and even the trees on the roadside were hung with colorful lights.

The pedestrians walked leisurely and relaxed.

Lin Mingmo just lowered her head and pushed open the glass door to walk out when a dark shadow suddenly blocked her way.

Thinking that it was a customer who was about to come in, Lin Mingmo moved aside to make room.

However, that deep and hoarse voice was heard.

"Lin Mingmo, you still haven't changed your habit of walking with your head down."

The sudden sound startled Lin Mingmo.

She looked up at the person in front of her in shock.

"Hmm... huh? Why is it you?"

She really didn't expect to run into Sheng Yuan at the door of an ordinary McDonald's restaurant on this not-so-bustling commercial street.

Does Shengshi want to enter the fast food industry?

"Just passing by." Sheng Yuan responded coldly with a sullen face.

Lin Mingmo subconsciously looked outside and saw Sheng Yuan was alone, with Fang Yaqi not beside him.

Was he really just passing through? This place wasn't in the same area as Shengshi Group, Rongjingwan, or the Sheng family mansion...

After saying "Oh", Lin Mingmo started walking towards the street.

Sheng Yuan frowned, thought for a few seconds, then turned around and followed.

"Why are you following me?" Lin Mingmo quickened her pace.

Sheng Yuan had long legs after all, so he walked calmly, and his voice remained cold.

"On the way."

Lin Mingmo bit her lower lip, suddenly stopped and changed direction.

Sheng Yuan also turned around and followed her.

When Lin Mingmo quickened her pace, he also quickened his pace. When Lin Mingmo walked slowly, he also slowed down. The distance between them always remained within one meter.

After finding out that he was following her on purpose, Lin Mingmo felt complicated.

"Why are you following me? If you have free time, you should spend more time with Fang Yaqi!"

Sheng Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, but his expression did not show much emotion.

"You don't go home after dark, but wander around on the road. Do you know how dangerous it is?"

"Dangerous?" Lin Mingmo looked at the brightly lit street and felt it was funny.

Sheng Yuan put one hand in his pocket, staring at him intently with deep eyes. His deep voice carried an irresistible majesty, "Go home."

"Sheng Yuan, do you live in the Pacific Ocean? You're so nosy!" Lin Mingmo clenched her fists and raged impatiently. "We live in a society ruled by law these days, so where do all these dangers come from?"

Once the hole is torn, all the emotions pour out.

Lin Mingmo couldn't control herself anymore.

"I've been walking at night since I was a kid and I've never been afraid! Even my parents haven't been worried... They've never even thought of sending a driver to pick me up..."

"But it doesn't matter. I'm brave. I always have a baseball bat hidden in my bag..."

"Be brave" once was also a curse cast on her by Lin Lidong and Yao Yuhui.

Under the shadow of this word, no matter how scared she was, she couldn't let them come to pick her up.
