It had been so many years since they had parted. Every parent’s dream was to be able to taste their son’s cooking. This brought them great happiness and comfort.
As she thought about it, Qin Yingyue’s eyes teared up.
“Thankfully i didn’t cry earlier.” Qin Yingyue took out a tissue and wiped her eyes.
“But i didn’t raise him. I don’t feel at ease eating this meal.”
“What do you mean you didn’t raise him?” Shen Shuyi said.
“You’re the one who gave him life. That’s the greatest kindness you’ve ever shown. No one is more qualified to eat what he cooks than you.”
Qin Yingyue wiped her tears. “It’s not as straightforward as you make it out to be.”
“You’ve been with Lin Jingzhan for so many years. Why haven’t you picked up his ruthlessness? You’re still so sentimental. What’s wrong with you?”
“There are things you don’t understand.”
Shen Shuyi took a sip of tea and did not say anything else.
Qin Yingyue was a smart person. There was no need for her to explain herself.
She would slowly figure it out if she was given some time.
She really could not persuade her beyond this.
Without personally experiencing it, she could not empathize with her friend’s situation.
“Alright, quickly wipe your tears. Lin Yi will be here soon. If he sees you crying here, what will he think?”
“I’ll tell him that something got into my eye.”
“That son of yours is so smart. Do you think you can fool him?” Shen Shuyi said.
“But that’s the good thing about him. He never cares much about things that have nothing to do with him.”
Just as the two of them were talking, the waiter’s voice came from outside the door. Qin Yingyue quickly wiped her tears to avoid being exposed.
Soon, the waiter came in with the dishes.
“It looks pretty good.” Shen Shuyi nodded in satisfaction. Then, she picked up a piece of chicken for Qin Yingyue. “Try it. The food cooked by Chef Lin is not something that ordinary people can ever taste.”
Qin Yingyue took a bite and realized that the food was genuinely delicious.
Shen Shuyi could not understand the satisfaction in her heart, but she was very jealous.
That was because on Liang Cunxiao’s fiftieth birthday, Liang Ruoxu patted her chest and said that she would make a feast for him. Moments later, she almost set the kitchen on fire.
Meanwhile, the first meal Lin Yi made for Qin Yingyue was so delicious.
Why was the difference in outcome so vast?
“It’s indeed delicious.”
As he wasn’t familiar with Qin Yingyue, Lin Yi didn’t say much and just smiled.
“You’ve really forgotten the pain after recovering. How long has it been since your beating, yet you already want to take revenge on me?”
Qin Yanling looked at Lin Yi coldly.
“You’d better get lost. I didn’t come here today for you!”
In reality, he really wanted to use this opportunity to take revenge, but because of Lin Yi’s position as the team leader of Team 1, he did not dare to make a move recklessly.
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, Qin Yanling would not make a move.
“You’re not here for me?”
These words surprised Lin Yi even more.
If they weren’t here for him, there was no reason for them to block the road.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi had a bad feeling.
There were only two cars here. If they weren’t here for him, could they be here for Aunt Shen?
That seemed even more impossible.
She was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liang family and the head of Huarun Group.
It didn’t matter who they were, as no one dared to touch her.
Even if there were a genuine reason, they would confront the other party openly. They wouldn’t resort to such a radical approach. After all, the Qin family wasn’t that foolish.
At this moment, Shen Shuyi and Qin Yingyue, who realized that something was wrong, also got out of the car.
Seeing that the people standing opposite them were Qin Yanfu and Qin Yanling, Qin Yingyue’s expression changed drastically!
She knew very well that they were here for her.
“Aunt, long time no see.”
Lin Yi’s expression froze when he heard this. His body froze on the spot as if he had been petrified.
The hairs on his body stood on end, as if he had heard something terrifying.
Previously, he had heard from Shen Shuyi and Liang Ruoxu that his biological mother’s name was Qin Yingyue.
She was the third daughter of the Qin Family in Yanjing!
Strictly speaking, Qin Yanling was his cousin!
Because his biological mother was their aunt!
Now, he actually called the woman beside Shen Shuyi ‘Aunt’!
In other words...
At the thought of this, Lin Yi’s face turned pale, and even his lips trembled.
He turned his head mechanically and his gaze landed on Qin Yingyue.
His eyes were filled with complicated and indescribable emotions as he asked with a trembling voice,
