It was a call from Lin Zhenbiao's old housekeeper.

In recent years, Jiang Yan has rarely returned to the Lin residence, and there seems to be a barrier between the grandmother and granddaughter.

In fact, Jiang Yanhui found out some of the truth back then, but he did not immediately question Lin Zhenbiao. Just because he didn't say anything doesn't mean nothing happened. Who is Lin Zhenbiao?

Naturally, he knew that his grandson knew some things, so he became much more restrained.

In addition, Siyi disappeared for five years after that, so no one brought it up.

Lin Zhenbiao was getting on in years, and even though Jiang Yanhui was still angry with him for what he had done back then, he was still an elder. She thought that some things were in the past, and if he could make amends, he should. She couldn't really turn her back on her family.

However, deep down, I still haven't truly chosen to forgive.

So he rarely visits him. Now, even if there's something really wrong, it's usually the old housekeeper there who calls, and only then does he go.

Jiang Yan turned to the side and looked at the bathroom door.

Seeing that Siyi hadn't come out yet, he lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong? Tell me over the phone. I'm not in City A right now and can't get back."

His tone was somewhat stiff, which the old butler could naturally tell.

After a few seconds of silent contemplation on the other end of the phone, he said, "Master Lin hasn't been feeling well lately and wants you to come back and have a meal with him. The Ying family's in-laws have booked a private room at Zhoujingxuan for tomorrow afternoon, so Master Lin wants you to come back."

Jiang Yan responded with a blank "Mmm," and then asked, "What time?"

"eight pm."

"Understood." He also had some things he needed to clarify with the Ying family, so he decided to take this opportunity.

Jiang Yan didn't ask any further questions and hung up the phone directly.

The old butler, holding the landline, was left looking embarrassed.

The elderly man sitting on the sofa looked even older than he had five years ago, with all the hair at his temples turned white.

His eyes didn't seem as sharp as they used to be, but there was still a hint of ferocity between his brows.

Some people are destined to live their entire lives with the idea of ​​trying to control the fate of others.

"Master Lin... Young Master said he understands."

Over the years, Lin Zhenbiao's temper has also become quite bad, and the old housekeeper has been very careful when speaking.

He didn't mention me?

The old butler thought for a moment and then said, "Young Master said you shouldn't worry about anything else and should take care of your health. He's in a meeting over there and is quite busy, but he'll come over tomorrow."

Lin Zhenbiao snorted, "A meeting so early in the morning?"

The old butler chuckled and lied somewhat reluctantly, "Young Master isn't in City A; he seems to be in the United States."

Although he knew this, he realized it was just the butler trying to appease him.

Lin Zhenbiao, however, did not get angry. He slowly closed his eyes, responded with a single word, and after a moment waved his hand, signaling the butler that he could leave.

The old butler hesitated for a moment, his gaze involuntarily falling on the coffee table opposite the sofa, where a newspaper lay quietly, its headline containing some truly sensational news.

[The Jiang family patriarch spent millions, gifting a precious 50 million yuan hairpin to his destined lover.]

Jiang Yan returns to her destined love, and her mysterious wife makes an appearance.

Jiang Yanhui and the young master of the Mu family, vying for the beauty's favor, engage in a battle of jealousy.

.........

The old butler looked at the blurry profile in the photo. Even though it wasn't a high-resolution photo, he knew at a glance that it was Ye Siyi.

Even I recognized myself, let alone Master Lin.

That woman disappeared for five years, why doesn't she just disappear forever?

Just like that, it appeared...

-

Resort hotel restaurant.

Jiang Yanhui sat opposite Beibei. He watched his son eat the toast with gusto and felt exceptionally happy. He brought the milk next to him to his lips and asked, "Want some more? I'll order you some more?"

Beibei shook his head, took the milk from his hand, and gulped down two mouthfuls. Only then did he notice that Jiang Yan hadn't touched her breakfast. He asked curiously, "Uncle, why aren't you eating?"

"You should eat breakfast slowly, don't you know that?"

Jiang Yan elegantly picked up her coffee, took a small sip, and said, "You were eating so fast just now, you could easily choke."

"That's because my sister and I are used to it."

Beibei pursed her lips and explained, "Mom takes us to school every day, but my sister and I don't go to the same school because she goes to a school for the deaf and mute, so it's several streets away. Mom also has to go to work, so we're always in a rush when we get up in the morning, so we eat very quickly."

One can imagine how hard it must be for a woman to raise two children, let alone work. In fact, being a lawyer is never an easy profession; although the income is substantial, the effort is always proportional to the reward. Hearing Bei Bei's simple words, Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

That woman must have had a tough time these past few years, right? But it doesn't matter. Now that he knows, he'll always be by her side and never let her suffer alone again.

"Uncle, I have something I want to ask you."

Beibei has become addicted to calling him "uncle." Jiang Yan was initially a little resistant, but she has accepted it after hearing it for a while.

He looked at the little one in front of him with gentle eyes, "Hmm?"

Beibei propped her chin up with her little hand, looked at Jiang Yanhui, and asked, "You told me yesterday that you did something that made Mom angry before. I think Mom really doesn't like you. Can you tell me what you did that made Mom so angry?"

Jiang Yan was taken aback, somewhat surprised that the little guy would ask him this question.

He seemed unsure how to answer. After a moment of hesitation, he said, avoiding the main point, "It's just that a man did some things that hurt a woman, including not believing her and misunderstanding her, so she has never forgiven me all these years."

Beibei's little brows furrowed slightly, as if she didn't quite understand the meaning of men and women. She nodded as if she understood, "Does that mean you bullied my mom?"

Jiang Yan lowered her eyes and gently tapped the side of the cup with her slender fingers. "You could say I bullied you."

Beibei's face immediately turned cold, and her tone was extremely displeased, "So you bullied my mother! Humph, I will not be with a bad guy who bullies my mother!"

Jiang Yan chuckled softly, "Beibei, do you know that there are many kinds of meaning to bullying?"

"Many kinds? Are there many kinds of bullying?"

"of course."

In an attempt to salvage his image and win over his son, a shameless man resorted to underhanded tactics, saying to the child, "Look, I'm a man, and your mother is a woman. So, when a man bullies a woman, it actually represents something else entirely."

Bei Bei's thoughts were nowhere near as deep as his, and she was immediately puzzled, "Bullying is bullying, what's the point?"

"Of course."

Jiang Yan casually picked up his coffee and took a sip. Sunlight fell on the top of his head, making it shimmer. His deep, charming eyes sparkled with a few unfathomable glints. "Sometimes when a man bullies a woman, it means that the man really... well, likes that woman."

Beibei suddenly realized, "So, Uncle, you really like my mom?"

"I don't just like your mom, I love your mom."

The deep male voice corrected the child's understanding without hesitation, and he smiled gently, "So, are you going to help your uncle win back your mother?"

Bei Bei gently touched his chin with his tiny fingers, his calm and collected demeanor was quite amusing. He seemed to have considered it very seriously before finally saying, "I need to assess your overall qualities first before deciding whether or not to help you!"

He also really liked this uncle, who was so handsome and seemed very capable. He thought he would be a very presentable father to him.

But seriously, Ye Siyi is his mother. Even if he likes her, he'll still observe this uncle's overall character before making a decision.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Fine, you can test your uncle however you like. Does that mean I can see you every day from now on?"

"You want to see my mother, right?"

Beibei cut to the chase and exposed the person without giving them any face, scoffing disdainfully, "Trying to use us as a cover? Don't think I'm a three-year-old. You can't fool me! But since you've confessed so honestly, I can give you a friendly hint. Here, I'm telling you secretly."

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow slightly and leaned closer, "What hint?"

"Mom loves men with abs! Do you have them? If not, you should go back and work out."

Beibei made the number eight with her short fingers, waved it in front of Jiang Yanhui, and said proudly, "At least eight-pack abs! I often see Mom reading those magazines and watching TV commercials, and every time a handsome guy with eight-pack abs appears, Mom stares at him without blinking!"

Jiang Yan took a sip of coffee, which got stuck in her throat.

Hearing this, he coughed violently...

Ye, Si, Yi!

How dare you look at other men?

Eight-pack abs?!

-

After Siyi and Tiantian finished breakfast, they went downstairs. She had already prepared everything and was just waiting for Beibei to come back.

She had originally planned to call Jiang Yan directly and ask him to bring the child up, but then she thought that this meeting was unavoidable, and since she was going to come down anyway, she simply brought Tian Tian down to the hotel lobby.

She just didn't expect that unexpected encounters would keep happening at the elevator entrance of this hotel.

Today, she encountered not only Yu Chengfeng at the elevator entrance, but also Lin Piaoyun, whom she hadn't seen for five years.

"Siyi".

When Lin Piaoyun suddenly saw Siyi, she almost felt flustered. After so many years, she really thought she would never see her again. It turned out that they were destined to meet again.

She was somewhat agitated, trying her best to control herself, but she couldn't help but tear up, her voice tinged with grievance, "...Where have you been all these years? Why haven't you contacted me at all?"
