"It's alright Yufan. We'll talk about it in the future. Today is Auntie's birthday, so it's not appropriate to say anything about us." I was worried that Lin Yufan's expression would affect the atmosphere of the banquet as I quietly advised him.

However, Lin Yufan's expression did not recover even after a long time.

"Yufan, come here." Lin Yufan's mother took advantage of the time when everyone was toasting to come over and whisper to him.

Lin Yufan nodded and told me, "I'll be back at eight." He followed his mother.

I don't know why, but I suddenly had a very uneasy feeling that something bad was about to happen.

I was nervous in my room, so I went to the door and unexpectedly heard Lin Yufan and my mother's conversation.

"Mom, eight o'clock isn't like that. This is not true! "

"I also hope that she isn't such a person, but this child has always been very scheming, and she approached you to return the money back then, so why did she marry you? She tricked you into saying that she was pregnant and wanted you to marry her, but you thought that it was true. She and I secretly …" Lin Yufan's mother said angrily, her mouth opening in a bunch of words. When she finished, her voice became softer and softer, "I can't hear anymore."

I could see how much she resented me, and how much she resented me.

It was true that I was close to Lin Yufan at first because of the repayment of the money, but later on, I also developed feelings for him, and my pregnancy was also real. Why did she say that I was faking it?

How could she say that about me?

As I listened to these words, I unconsciously put my hand to my chest.

"Also, that time I gave her a hundred thousand yuan to break up with you, she didn't agree, but this time she said she had an abortion, and I don't think the child is there anymore. You guys don't have any feelings for each other, so you should break up, so you gave her two hundred thousand yuan." As Lin Yufan's mother spoke, she sighed heavily, "But who would have thought that even though she accepted my money, she would still rely on you to not split up."

"Mom!" Lin Yufan called out to his mother, "You don't need to talk about this matter, you don't need to talk about it. When I've investigated thoroughly, can we talk about this matter?"

"I'm afraid that if she cries, you will protect her again." Lin Yufan's mother said worriedly.

"I hate deceit the most in my life. I will investigate this matter thoroughly." As he spoke, Lin Yufan strode towards the stairs, while his mother tidied up her dark blue and golden velvet dress. She recovered her composure and walked over with a gentle smile.

When she didn't notice me, I quickly retreated. Seeing that she was passing through the crowd with her wine cup as if nothing had happened, and that Lin Yufan had left without even saying goodbye to me, I felt that I couldn't stay here any longer.

In any case, other than Lin Yufan who would pay attention to me, no one else would see me in their eyes. Thus, while others were busy toasting, I quietly entered the elevator by myself.

Coming out of the elevator, I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I took out my phone and called Lin Yufan.

Lin Yufan answered the phone and briefly told me that he had something to do and was busy. He told me to go back alone after the banquet.

"I know …" I wanted to tell him that I had heard his conversation with his mother, that it was all unnecessary, that I really loved him, but Lin Yufan had just finished his sentence and dropped the phone.

The phone was beeped with a blind tone, like a wall that blocked my mind.

I thought about what Gu Yifei had said. I tried to persuade myself more than once that Gu Yifei did everything possible to break up the relationship between me and Lin Yufan in order to prevent me from entering the Lin Clan. I wanted to marry her as well, so I deliberately said bad things about his mother.

She arranged for that person to deliberately bump into my child. However, my child stopped developing half a month ago.

I took out my cell phone and looked through the calendar bit by bit. It turned out that half a month before my miscarriage, I had met Lin Yufan's mother at the teahouse.

Mygod!

Startled, I tried to remember what had happened that day.

That day I was pregnant, Lin Yufan's mother originally ordered tea, but considering that I was pregnant, she also gave me fresh water, ah no, it was actually lemonade, could it be that there was a problem with the lemon juice?

That day, she advised me to break up with Lin Yufan. I was too sad, so I just sat there without saying anything. For a long time, my eyes were sore, and I was afraid that she would see me trying to suppress my tears, so I deliberately turned my head to look out the window …

Was that when I did it in my lemonade?

My heart began to thump, and I suddenly felt my heart racing. I couldn't walk anymore.

I crouched down to recover my heartbeat.

Just for a moment, it seemed, I saw a pair of white high-heeled shoes, baring two legs that were neither too fat nor too thin, and above them, a blue velvet cheongsam.

"Why are you squatting here? Have you recovered? " Lin Yufan's mother looked at me condescendingly. There was an indescribable feeling in her voice.

I looked at her. At this moment, I realized that this gentle and kind face, full of smiles, which has baffled me countless times, was actually so sinister.

She didn't want me to marry into the Lin family, and every time she told me about it, I thought it was understandable as a mother.

Her smile made me promise her again and again, but, I love Lin Yufan, and again and again, I can't help it.

Now that I've heard her speak to Lin Yufan like that, I think it's time I asked her.

"Auntie, I heard your conversation with Yufan just now." I looked at her and bit my lower lip, trying to look calmer.

Because I know that peace has power.

I saw Luo Xian's delicate, aged face twitch unnaturally.

"You've changed my impression of you." I looked at her, still speaking calmly.

"Actually, you know that I just don't want you to marry Yufan." She looked at me and said, as calmly as I did, "I've already given you a lot of face by acknowledging you as my goddaughter. Don't you understand what that means? "

"You shouldn't have …" I wanted to say that you shouldn't have harmed my child, that you shouldn't have lied to Yufan about my false pregnancy, that you shouldn't have used any means to achieve your own goals.
