After the driver of two cars in succession had to call to cancel the reservation because he still couldn't find the location after 20 minutes of driving around, Che Linwan couldn't help but panic.
"Where are you?"
"That's the place to be!"
"What buildings are nearby?"
"A club."
"anything else?"
"A man-made lake?"
"...Miss, your address is in the center of the lake! Are you on a boat? The kind of boat used for taking pictures?"
"no no… "
Snapped! The phone was disconnected.
The other party canceled the trip.
…
Che Linwan had actually finished crying when she climbed into the passenger seat.
But Su Zhenling still stuffed a box of tissues into her.
"what?"
"Wipe your face, it's dusty."
She was stunned for a moment and immediately realized that they were dried tears.
"What's going on with you? Did you have a quarrel with the Cai family?"
Cai's family... Oh, Xiao Lemi's family.
"No."
Su Zhenling glanced at her and stopped talking, and went on the road with peace of mind.
After sending her downstairs to the apartment, he added, "You can take me with you if you have any quarrels in the future. It's just an extra charge. Don't go alone."
"What if I say I cheated?" She was joking.
But once he said it, it really seemed like that was the case.
Su Zhenling actually cooperated and thought for a while, "Wait until you get the adoption rights before cheating. It's not good to cheat during a lawsuit."
"Pfft..."
"By the way, have you asked Xiaoxia? Brother De called me today and talked about it. I didn't dare to talk about the quarrel with me. I was afraid that he would think that I had offended the young master and let me mention it when the time came. It would be terrible to come to your door with a gift and apologize.”
Che Linwan remained calm, "What did Brother De say?"
"Brother De said that the sponsorship money from the commander suddenly stopped. I wonder if it is because his son has been wronged..." Su Zhenling's own tone was extremely aggrieved, "Don't serve this kind of young master to me in the future, I can't serve you." . To be honest, I thought the cooperation was quite reliable at the time, tsk tsk! Alas, the second generation of rich officials are unreliable.”
Che Linwan couldn't answer anything and went upstairs silently.
Since then, I have been busy with the adoption procedures for Xiao Lemi.
Although Jin Chongguang charges neatly and has a black heart, he has two brushes in his hands.
Song Ruying was defeated frequently, and finally she found someone to crash Lin Wan's car.
The result was captured by a surveillance camera.
When the final verdict was issued and Song Ruying completely lost her rights as a guardian and compensated for the reputational damage caused to Che Linwan during the trial, Che Linwan burst into tears in the collegial court.
She understood what Su Zhenling warned her: taking care of a child is not taking care of cats and dogs.
This was just the first lesson the cold and cruel society taught her. It had exhausted her.
"You are very brave. I hope you will be brave enough to take care of that child in the future." When leaving the collegial court, the judge with a solemn expression came over and shook hands with her.
It was a young female judge. But she was also a female judge carefully selected by Kim Chung-kwang.
The female judge grew up in a single-parent family, with a single mother who was a devoted mother.
"She believes in the power of women, more than men. So I won't say too much for you in court. You just need to remember that you have to be strong."
For the first time, Jin Chongguang did not leave quickly to go back to his office to make money, but waited for her at the door.
"Thank you." Although he didn't like Jin Chongguang as a person, Che Linwan had a new understanding of his business abilities.
He silently stretched out his hand, and Che Linwan reluctantly reached over and shook it.
Jin Chongguang looked surprised, "Where's the last payment? Why are you shaking hands with me?! Where's my money?"
"..." Tsk.
She couldn't wait to call Su Zhenling and tell Su Zhenling the good news, "We can get a divorce!"
"Don't worry, we might as well wait until you get the child back. Let her be stable for a few days. In case her family doesn't give up."
"thanks, thanks!"
"By the way, you have to report to the institute if you have a child, you know that, right?"
"… Um."
Then she looked at the phone screen silently and became stunned again.
Xia Mingzhi would want to know this news, right
He has always had a good relationship with Lemi, who also said that when she grows up, she will marry Xiaozhi's brother.
Children these days are very precocious, so maybe what others say is true.
At least... let him take a look at Xiao Lemi.
Then, let's wait until tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Lin Wan drove to the entrance of the children's home.
Xiao Lemi sat there obediently in a clean cotton skirt.
He waved his hands happily when he saw her coming in.
"The child didn't sleep last night." The teacher on duty told Che Linwan. "After changing her clothes, she sat there. We said she would have time to change her clothes when she woke up in the morning, but she insisted on waiting like this."
Che Linwan held back his tears.
Xiao Lemi walked over with a small schoolbag on his back. He raised his head and looked a little strange in his eyes, "Do you want to call you mom from now on?"
"Of course not! Just call me aunt."
"Then you will call me sister from now on?"
"well?!"
Che Linwan looked at her empty schoolbag and asked, "Where are your things?"
"Give them all to my friends!"
"Oh, that's so generous."
Che Linwan originally praised her, but Xiao Lemi's face suddenly darkened, "I'm sorry. Then I'll ask them to get it back."
After saying that, he ran away.
Che Linwan hurriedly caught up with her and grabbed her, "Why? Why do you want to come back when you give a toy to someone else?"
"Because you are unhappy..."
"I'm not unhappy!"
"Won't you blame me for wasting money?"
"Won't!"
Che Linwan knelt down and hugged her, "Then we'll visit them often and give delicious food to our friends, okay?"
"But I don't want to come back..."
"..." Sure enough, children are really difficult to take care of!
Xiao Lemi was very busy on the first day back home.
Take out the things you bought one by one, place them well, then look around, and then put them in another place.
It seemed very empty when I lived alone, but suddenly a little guy squeezed in and it immediately became lively.
"Xiao Lemi, should we move to a bigger house?"
What Che Linwan wanted was to rent out his house and rent a larger one, and just put some money into it.
But Lemi looked at her for a long time and said firmly, "Don't buy a big house. Auntie can't afford a big house."
I couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.
"How about just having pizza tonight?"
"Okay! Call Brother Xiaozhi and ask him to deliver pizza, right now, right now!"
Che Linwan paused.
[I took Lemi home. Let me tell you, you don’t have to worry about her anymore.]
[good. I see.]
[If you have time, come over and eat pizza with her.]
[I’ve been busy lately.]
Okay... She silently deleted the finished message.
I vaguely felt that something had changed quietly.
