When Zheng Weiqian pulled her into the mess, Fang Yan already knew that the people from the Lin Family would come and look for her. She thought that the first people to come to look for her would be the Lin Family"s woman, but she never thought it would be him. “Can I take some of Miss Fang"s time to have a chat?” Lin Zhenyang politely asked. When he looked at her face, he seemed to have transported back to 20 years ago when he first met her. Although it is not a stunning face, she was still able to grasp his eyes because those eyes were particularly clean, clear of any impurities. Twenty years later, he can see those eyes again on her daughter.
“Can I refuse?” Although she highly opposed his arrival, she could only pretend to be relaxed to keep him from finding out too much.
Lin Zhenyang laughed and didn"t show any sign of giving up. Seeing him like this, Fang Yan was left with no other choice but to let him in.
“I don"t think Mr. Lin and I have nothing to talk about.” When she let him sit down, Fang Yan sat at the opposite of him.
“You are Fang Yu"s daughter.” Lin Zhenyang stated. Although the investigation didn"t mention her parents, her eyes and face resembled Fang Yu"s so much that he wouldn"t mistake it.
“So it turns out Mr. Lin knows my mother.” Fang Yan feigned surprised. The truth is going to come out one way or another so there is no point in denying it.
“I don"t just know her.” Perhaps he will never forget in his entire life. Because of her, he knew what is love. Because of her, he knew what betrayal felt like.
“Really? I never heard my mother mention Mr. Lin before. I never knew my mother knew an outstanding man.” Fang Yan"s voice carried a tone of mockery. She never thought that there would be a day where she would talk to him face to face.
“I want to see your mother.” That was his purpose today. He wants to see that woman and ask her why she took the money, why she betrayed his feelings and ask her if she had ever loved him or was it all just for the money.
“It"s really unfortunate but my mother isn"t here anymore.” Fang Yan calmly said, showing no signs of sadness.
“You"re saying she–––” Lin Zhenyang didn"t expect this. He thought that she was just hiding. Even though he hated her, he never thought that she would die.
“Yes, dead.” Fang Yan acts as if he had never spoken and said with a calm tone as if it has nothing to do with her.
Lin Zhenyang suddenly felt how ridiculous he is. Twenty years of searching and dedication only to receive notice of her death, then what is the point of hating her, she is already gone.
“Then I won"t bother you anymore.” After a while, Lin Zhenyang stood up and said goodbye. He doesn"t dare to stay here and look at that face, those eyes. He would only remember his days with that woman, that is his sweet nightmare.
Fang Yan looked at the person who disappeared out the door. She felt like her mother"s feelings were worthless. Because of him, she gave up her life, but that man didn"t even ask where she was buried. This is her lifetime of love, it really is worthless.
When that car left, another luxury car stopped in from of the apartment and Old Madame Lin came out with the help of the butler.
Ding Dong
“May I ask who you are looking for?” Fang Yan does not recognize these two old people in front of her. She doesn"t know many people in Shanghai and the only elderly person she knows is Old Madame Zheng.
“You are Fang Yan.” The old madame looked at that face. She is 100% sure she is that woman"s daughter.
“You are–––” Fang Yan curiously asked.
“Do you not think that it is impolite to let the elderly to stand by the door?” Old Madame Lin is very dissatisfied that this girl still hasn"t invited her in.
“I don"t know you.” But she still let them in.
“I am looking for you today is to look for your mother.” When she sat down on the sofa, the seventy-year-old madame gave a feeling of oppression.
“I don"t understand what you mean.” Fang Yan could already guess who she is but she doesn"t understand why she would come and ask this when her son just came earlier. Could it be that Lin Zhenyang doesn"t know she"s here?!
“Where is Fang Yu.” The old madame went straight to the point. The result of the investigation was unexpected, it only mentions that she came to China in recent years but they weren"t able to find anything about her parents or family. These results made her feel uneasy so she personally came to find out for herself.
“I don"t understand why Old Madame Lin wants to look for my mother.” Fang Yan poured a cup of coffee and sat opposite her and didn"t ask her what she wants to drink.
Old Madame Lin looked at Fang Yan. From her movements, she could tell that she is hostile towards her.
“Is this how you treat your guest?” The old madame asked in dissatisfaction.
Fang Yan took a sip of the coffee and lightly said, “You, are you a guest?”
“Humph.” She disdainfully said, “Your mother would never treat me this way.” Although she does not have a good impression of Fang Yu, she still gave her some courtesy and respect. But it seems her daughter is a lot worse.
“That is my mother, not me.” Her smile faded as she looked at her.
The old madame felt uncomfortable under her gaze and helplessly said, “I am here to look for your mother, tell me where she is.”
“She"s dead.” Fang Yan coldly said.
“How–––” She never thought that Fang Yu had pa.s.sed away, “When did she pa.s.s away?”
“Eight years ago.” Fang Yan"s voice was calm causing Old Madame Lin to be in a daze.
“Why–––” Regarding Fang Yu, she felt a bit guilty. But what is the point in asking this now?
Fang Yan looked at her and doesn"t understand why is there a look of regret on her face. Shouldn"t she be happy?
“Did you come back for revenge?” The old madame sighed and asked.
.
She could feel Fang Yan"s hostility. She came back eight years ago, and eight years ago, Fang Yu––––. In this way, she could guess that Fang Yan appeared for revenge. Fang Yan scoffed, “You can rest a.s.sured, Lin Family and I have no relationship. Not to mention, my mother dies of illness, why would I retaliate on your Lin family.” Lin family"s women would always be oversensitive. “I won"t ever appear in front of you and I also hope that you would come to see me.”
Fang Yan"s words made the old Madame satisfied. She called out to the butler, “Let"s go back.”
Before she left, she looked at Fang Yan for a good while and didn"t say anything and followed the butler out.
