90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?

Following Lin Luping's footsteps, Xie Yan found herself in a place she was not very familiar with.

This is an extremely old residential area with narrow gaps between buildings. The moonlight shines through the mottled walls, casting patches of light and shadow.

It was quiet all around, with only the occasional bird song breaking the silence.

Lin Luping stopped at a corner, looked around, and then knocked on a wooden door that looked quite old.

The door opened quickly, but only a crack was left, and the person inside seemed to be observing the situation outside.

Xie Yan recognized him immediately. The person who opened the door was her stepfather in her previous life and her mother's poker partner in both her past and present lives - the gangster Yao Yadong.

Yao Yadong first looked her up and down, then spoke a few words in a low voice, as if to confirm that no one was following her.

Then he made room for Lin Luping to enter.

The whole process was very cautious and both of them moved very quickly, obviously they were used to this kind of meeting.

Xie Yan hid behind a pile of old bicycles not far away, trying her best not to be noticed.

Xie Yan vaguely heard some conversation, but couldn't make out what was said.

Xie Yan was shocked by her discovery. She didn't expect that Lin Luping had already had some connection with Yao Yadong at this time.

In her memory, Yao Yadong was an out-and-out gangster who worked in the town's steel plant and was several years younger than her mother Lin Luping.

Yao Yadong often played mahjong with his mother, and occasionally he would lose his temper and even hit others because of losing money.

He was also not disciplined in his private life, often flirting with other people's wives and beating and kicking his own wife.

In her previous life, three days after her father Xie Jianhua was buried, her mother Lin Luping called Xie Yan, who was attending university, and said she wanted to have a relationship.

Xie Jianhua's death was originally suspicious, and all the neighbors knew about it. Lin Luping's reputation was extremely bad at the time, and it could be said that she was notorious.

Before her husband's body was even cold, she couldn't wait to climb into someone else's bed.

Xie Yan was very disgusted with her mother's behavior, but she suppressed her dissatisfaction and tried to comfort Lin Luping gently: "Mom, I'm not against you finding a partner to spend the rest of your life with. It's just that Dad just passed away. Can you wait for about a year?"

Lin Luping was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then burst into tears: "Xie Yan, I knew you were unreliable. You don't care about your mother at all! You're away studying, and your mother is so lonely and sad, do you know? I'm calling you today to tell you, not to ask for your opinion, but to inform you! Besides, you have no right to control me!"

Xie Yan remembered that she did not delve into the matter at that time. She was just worried about her mother's reputation. Thinking that her mother was pitiful for losing her husband in middle age, she did not interfere too much.

But now, seeing this scene in front of her, Xie Yan couldn't help but re-examine this memory.

She began to suspect that perhaps without her knowledge, there had already been some kind of connection between Lin Luping and Yao Yadong.

Now, standing in the shadow of this old residential area, Xie Yan had mixed feelings.

She didn't know whether she should go directly to Lin Luping to ask for clarification, or keep the secret for the time being and look for more clues.

She was worried that if she acted rashly, she might alert the enemy.

In her previous life, neighbors had always been saying that Lin Luping and Yao Yadong had an affair and then murdered her husband.

Because of her image of Lin Luping as a victim and a loving mother, Xie Yan never believed the gossip, but now, Xie Yan looked at the closed door.

Perhaps, there is no smoke without fire, and there is no smoke without fire.

Xie Yan bit her lip, her eyes cold. Since she was here, she had to know why Lin Luping came out today.

She quietly approached the half-open door, trying to get as close to the crack as possible, trying to capture more information.

Because the gap in the door was very small and Yao Yadong's voice was very low, Xie Yan could only hear some fragments intermittently.

"That bastard isn't dead?" Yao Yadong's irritable voice came, "I'm telling you, I won't accept that little bastard of yours. I, Yao Yadong, will never help someone else raise a child. If you want to follow me, don't take care of the child."

Xie Yan's heart sank suddenly, she could hardly believe her ears.

Yao Yadong's words were like a sharp knife, piercing her heart.

She pressed herself against the crack of the door, trying to stay calm and continue eavesdropping on the conversation inside.

Lin Luping's voice was filled with pleading and helplessness: "Yadong, I know you don't like Xie Yan, but she is my child after all. I can leave her to Xie Jianhua! Why do you have to kill her?"

"Hmph, why are you saying so much? You still have to rely on me for support?" Yao Yadong snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain and anger. "I'm telling you, Lin Luping, if you want to be with me, you have to kill that burden. Otherwise, there's no room for us."

When Xie Yan heard this, a strong sense of anger and grief surged in her heart.

She didn't expect that Lin Luping would sacrifice her own daughter in order to be with Yao Yadong.

It turns out that everything that happened in the previous life had already been foreshadowed.

She still remembered that she had suffered many misfortunes before she was ten years old, and her grandmother even asked her to adopt a big stone as her godmother in order to pray for peace and good fortune.

It turns out that every disaster she encountered was caused by her biological mother Lin Luping.

The reason was simply that her mother wanted to be with Yao Yadong without any baggage!

"But...but I can't do it." Lin Luping's voice was filled with tears. "She is my daughter. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs!"

"Can't do it? Then don't be with me!" Yao Yadong's tone became even more fierce. "Let me tell you, Lin Luping, I, Yao Yadong, am not a philanthropist. I won't raise a child for others for nothing. If you have thought it through, get rid of that burden as soon as possible, otherwise, our relationship will end here."

When Xie Yan heard this, her body trembled involuntarily, and the anger and sadness in her heart intertwined into an indescribable emotion.

She could hardly believe her ears, but the facts before her forced her to accept this cruel reality.

She heard Lin Luping sobbing, as if she was trying hard to control her emotions.

"Yadong, let me think of a solution, okay? Give me some time, I...I will find a way."

"Alright!" Yao Yadong said coldly, "I'll give you a week. If you haven't dealt with that bastard in a week, we'll break up."

After saying that, Yao Yadong slammed the door shut, making a loud noise.

Xie Yan heard the "clacking" sound of women's leather shoes coming from the room. She quickly ran out and hid behind an abandoned machine outside the house. The weeds there provided her with an excellent hiding place.

Lin Luping stood outside the door for a few seconds, then slowly walked out of the old residential area.

Xie Yan pressed herself against the wall until the sound of Lin Luping's footsteps completely disappeared. Only then did she dare to stick her head out and look in the direction where Lin Luping left with a complicated look.

Her heart was filled with confusion and struggle, with disappointment and anger towards her mother Lin Luping, as well as helplessness and sadness about her own fate.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm her excitement, and then followed quietly.

She wanted to know how Lin Luping would solve the problem of "daughter", and she also wanted to know how many unknown secrets were hidden behind this seemingly calm but actually undercurrent family.

Lin Luping walked on the empty street, looking particularly lonely.

From time to time, she looked up into the distance, her eyes showing both confusion and determination.

Xie Yan followed carefully, keeping a distance, fearing that she would be discovered.

Xie Yan's heart was full of contradictions.

On the one hand, they are disappointed and angry about Lin Luping's behavior, and on the other hand, they are worried that Lin Luping might do something extreme.

Xie Yan knew that she had to take action as soon as possible to stop Lin Luping's crazy behavior.
