Upon hearing the two people's descriptions, Liu Chunlian fell silent for a moment.

After Lin Fan finished speaking, he did not urge her, but waited for his adoptive mother's reply.

He accepted whatever Liu Chunlian's answer was.

If Liu Chunlian doesn't want to talk about what happened back then, Lin Fan won't force her. In the future, if he meets President Liu again, Lin Fan will treat her as a stranger.

He would not inexplicably force his mother to do anything for some reason.

In his heart, a person's own feelings are the most important, and what he fears most is the mentality of "I'm doing this for your own good".

Especially parents who have lived most of their lives, they know their own hearts clearly and don't need their descendants to make decisions for their past.

"Sigh, I never thought we'd meet again."

Liu Chunlian looked at Lin Fan with a complicated expression on her face.

Suddenly, she felt that perhaps this was fate.

Liu Chunlian murmured something to herself, then slowly said, "You guessed right, he is your uncle."

"As for what happened, I don't know how to tell you."

"The only thing I can tell you is that your uncle is not like us. He may be very capable, independent, and have his own ideas."

"But in this world, on certain major decisions, there is no chance for us to coexist. So I have never mentioned him to you all these years, because in my heart, he has long since died with the passing of time."

Lin Shuying was very surprised. She never expected that the man who looked so much like her mother that she had met by chance on the street was actually her mother's brother.

Moreover, it seems that something did happen between my mother and my uncle, to the point that now, my mother doesn't even want to acknowledge this uncle.

"Mom, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean by 'not on our side'? Did Uncle do something really outrageous?"

Lin Fan noticed the conflicted look on his adoptive mother's face, so he smiled, patted Lin Shuying's head, and said, "Wife, don't make things difficult for Mom."

"Now that we know the truth, that's enough. There's no need to dig deeper. Let bygones be bygones. Why hold onto it?"

Liu Chunlian looked at Lin Fan with affection, then sighed and said, "Third brother is wrong. Let bygones be bygones. All you need to know is that that person used to be your uncle."

"As for if you have the opportunity to deal with him again in the future, don't worry about our relationship. Just treat him as a complete stranger. Don't deliberately distance yourself, but don't get too close either. The latter is especially important."

Seeing his adoptive mother's serious expression, Lin Fan nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice, "Mom, I understand."

Liu Chunlian has always been a gentle and kind person.

However, this time he told them not to get too close to that so-called "Chirp," which was clearly a warning.

Although Lin Fan didn't know what had happened between them, the reason why someone like Liu Chunlian would say such a thing must not be simple.

Therefore, Lin Fan naturally couldn't disobey his adoptive mother's wishes and should just obediently listen to her.

"Okay, Mom, you can cook now. Shuying and I will go out and wait for dinner."

"Don't dwell on what happened today. Let bygones be bygones. Your son is leaving now."

After pulling Lin Shuying out the door, Lin Shuying's expression was still somewhat dazed, as if she couldn't understand why Lin Fan and Liu Chunlian had so casually taken over this matter.

Lin Fan glanced at him, and Lin Shuying couldn't help but tap his head again, saying, "What's wrong? Are you still thinking about your uncle?"

Lin Shuying nodded and said seriously, "Honey, I always feel that since we are family and Mom's rare siblings, shouldn't we clear up any misunderstandings between the two of us? It's better for the family to be together."

Lin Fan smiled slightly, pinched Lin Shuying's cheek, and explained, "Wife, you've seen the harmony in our family, so you think all family relationships in the world are like this. But I want to tell you that not all blood relatives can be as harmonious as our family."

"Perhaps the situation between your uncle and your mother is far more complicated and worse than you imagine. If you force your mother to accept those past tragedies, it will be a harm to her."

"Given Mom's personality, she's not willing to take the initiative to face this matter, so let's not bring up these things from the past anymore. Let's just pretend we never knew about them."

There's something Lin Fan hasn't explained yet.

He wanted to say that, just like he had abandoned his entire family back then, never caring about his wife and daughter, if that were the case, should he also force his adoptive mother to have contact with this so-called uncle?

Lin Shuying grew up in a relatively harmonious family environment. Even though Lin Fan made many mistakes in the past, he has now corrected them and is a model husband.

Therefore, he mistakenly believed that family members had blood ties and that no matter how bad things got, they wouldn't become enemies.

But Lin Fan was well aware that in this world, blood ties still require long-term contact and interpersonal relationships to maintain the bond; otherwise, a situation where kinship turns into enmity could occur.

Since the adoptive mother doesn't want to have any direct contact with this brother, she shouldn't force him, and she shouldn't use the excuse of doing it for their own good to force them to accept it.

"Okay, I get it. I was too naive."

Lin Shuying nodded thoughtfully.

Neither of them mentioned it again.

And he deliberately didn't mention it to anyone else in his family.

They acted as if nothing had happened, and that they knew nothing about it, having never even seen that General Manager Liu in the provincial capital. Everything seemed to fade into silence.

After dinner, the family gathered briefly for a chat before going home to rest.

Lin Fan went to bed early today because he had an important matter to attend to tomorrow!

Liu Ming came to him, hoping that he could help save Liu Ming's company from its dire straits.

Lin Fan did agree at first, but things won't end so easily.

As Lin Fan said, he is actually quite vengeful at times. He has always remembered how Liu Ming treated him and what choices he made. It is said that businessmen pursue profit, which is true, but it depends on the situation.
