Chapter 17 You Are My Daughter

• Lin Yuanfeng let out a soft sigh, his voice filled with reluctance. "It has been so long since that incident. Why do you still hold onto it? We were forced to do it back then."
• What a terrible situation it was, not having enough money to pay off gambling debts, so they thought of selling their daughter!
• Lin Fei tried her best to suppress her anger and sarcasm. "That's not my concern. I still have to go to work. Goodbye."
• After saying that, she hung up the phone.
• Lin Yuanfeng held the blackened phone in his hand, his face darkening. Lin's mother, who had been listening to the conversation, felt guilty.
• That child blamed them.
• "If Fei doesn't want to come back, then..."
• "She's just angry." Lin Yuanfeng's face remained calm.
• "You should go find her and say a few kind words to her. She has always had a good relationship with you since she was young. She will definitely listen to you." A glimmer of hope flashed in Lin Yuanfeng's eyes.
• "Sigh..." Lin's mother sighed.
• "But..."
• Before Lin's mother could finish her sentence, Lin Yuanfeng interrupted her.
• "There's no 'but.' She doesn't want to see me at all now. I don't have a chance to make up for my past mistakes, so you're the only one who can go and say a few kind words to her."
• "Will she listen to me?" Lin's mother still had some concerns. "And I don't even know where Fei works."
• "She will listen. You have a good relationship with her." Lin Yuanfeng calculated in his mind, and his expression softened a bit. "She works at M.Y Group."
• ...
• Lin Fei didn't expect to see Lin's mother outside the company. The familiar figure overlapped with her memories, leaving her unsure of how to react.
• Should she call her mom?
• Her mouth moved, but no words came out.
• After a while, Lin Fei approached and said dryly, "Why are you here?"
• Seeing that she didn't even want to call her mom, Lin's mother's gentle expression froze.
• "I... came to see you."
• Lin Fei looked around at the employees leaving work. They were standing in the middle of the road, attracting attention. She pulled Lin's mother to the side.
• "I'm doing fine. If there's nothing else, you should go back."
• The cold words eventually made Lin's mother's eyes turn red. She held onto Lin Fei's hand, her nose feeling a bit sour. "Fei, we were wrong back then. Give us a chance to make it up to you, okay?"
• Lin Fei looked at the hand being held and Lin Mu's reddened eyes, and couldn't help but think that it was all fake. After all, the person in front of her was the mother she had called for more than ten years.
• But when she thought about how she had cried and begged for mercy back then, only to be sent to Mr. Wang's fate, and the greedy and shameless Lin Yuanfeng, her softened heart hardened.
• Lin Fei pulled her hand back and inserted it into the pocket of her coat.
• "I don't need you to make up for anything. The best way to make up for it is to stop disturbing my life."
• The emptiness in her hand and the discomfort in her heart made Lin Mu shed tears. "Fei'er... are you going to cut off contact with us? You are my daughter."
• The word "daughter" made Lin Fei's heart ache. She didn't want to be so cold to Lin Mu, but if she showed a soft attitude, Lin Yuanfeng would definitely be relentless.
• "I have already repaid the favor of being raised by you. From now on, let's treat each other as strangers and not disturb each other."
• Lin Mu fell silent, but her crying became even more intense.
• Lin Fei silently watched, not saying anything more. However, the scene in front of her was too shocking for her soft heart. She was afraid that she would soften, so she looked away and shifted her attention.
• Just as she looked away, she saw Jiang Yihan, who had just come out of the company. His powerful and cold aura made her heart tremble even from a distance.
• Just as she was about to look away again, Jiang Yihan suddenly looked over in her direction, and his cold and sharp gaze made her scalp tingle.
• Lin Fei instinctively blocked Lin Mu's figure and forced a sweet smile, as a way of greeting Jiang Yihan.
• Jiang Yihan's icy face remained unchanged, and his sharp and cold gaze scrutinized her, creating a strong pressure that was proportional to the distance.
• Lin Fei's nerves tightened, and she turned around and grabbed Lin Mu's hand, leading her towards the side of the road. "Let's find a place to have a good talk."
• Lin Mu was still in a daze, and before she could react, Lin Fei had dragged her into a taxi.
• Soon, the taxi disappeared from the company's entrance, and a cold light flashed in Jiang Yihan's deep black eyes. He coldly withdrew his gaze, and his aura became even colder.
• Han Li stood nervously on the side, not knowing why his boss's mood had turned bad again.
• Lin Fei brought Lin Mu to a tea house, where the fragrance of tea filled the air and a light white mist slowly rose from the teacup.
• After Lin Mu calmed down, Lin Fei sipped her tea and briefly explained the things Lin Yuanfeng had asked her to do, with a calm and indifferent expression.
• "I have already repaid most of what I owe."
• "But..."
• Lin's mother wanted to salvage the situation, but after thinking for a while, she couldn't find the right words.
• However, jobs were not easy to come by. Lin Fei had sent out countless resumes, but received very few responses, which left her feeling defeated.
• But how could Lin Fei give up so easily?
• Regaining her confidence, Lin Fei searched for other companies to send her resume to on the computer.
• Just as she was engrossed in looking at a company, a document appeared in front of her. "Lin Fei, this document needs the CEO's signature."
• Lin Fei looked up and instantly became nervous. She hesitated to reach out and take the document. "Ah... I still have something unfinished..."
• She didn't want to see Jiang Yihan.
• The way he looked at her yesterday still sent shivers down her spine.
• Huang Jing frowned and, seeing that she didn't take it, threw the document on the table. "It's just a signature, it won't delay anything. Go quickly and come back quickly."
• After saying that, regardless of whether she accepted it or not, Huang Jing turned around and left to attend to other matters.
• Lin Fei stared at the document with the blue cover and silently prayed, hoping for the best. Then, she bravely picked up the document and headed towards the CEO's office, not forgetting to turn off the computer before leaving.
• "Knock knock!"
• Lin Fei stood at the door and knocked. "CEO Jiang, there is a document that requires your signature."
• No one responded.
• Was Jiang Yihan not present?
• If that was the case, then it had nothing to do with her. It was Jiang Yihan's absence, not her refusal to go.
• Lin Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
• She happily walked towards the secretary department, but before she took a few steps, a tall and upright figure appeared in front of her, causing her footsteps to halt and the smile on her lips to freeze.
• "Jiang... CEO Jiang."
• Jiang Yihan's cold gaze slightly narrowed as he glanced at her. "What are you doing here?"
• "There is a document that requires your signature. I thought you weren't here, so I was about to go back to the secretary department."
• Lin Fei honestly replied.
• She was mistaken. She should have hurried back to the secretary department!
• "Bring it in."
• Jiang Yihan uttered these words and walked towards his office. Lin Fei had no choice but to follow him.
• In the spacious CEO's office, Lin Fei felt a sense of oppression and nervousness because of the man sitting behind the large desk. Faintly, her stomach began to feel uncomfortable.
• No way...
• "CEO Jiang, here is the document."
• Lin Fei handed over the document and then stood to the side, her body tense. Her stomach felt like it was in turmoil, making her desperately want to go to the bathroom!
• Lin Fei wanted to punch herself. How could her stomach ache out of nowhere!
• Could it be because of the milk she drank in the morning that was close to expiration?
• But it wasn't expired yet!
• "Gurgle..."
• The sound of rumbling stomach was particularly noticeable in this quiet office.
• Let her die... It's so embarrassing.
• Jiang Yihan had a dark and serious expression on his face as he glanced at her. "It's only 9:30 in the morning, and you're already hungry?"
