them for late-night snacks for a while, but he wouldn't eat. He would just sit quietly and wait for Lu Kuo.Once Lu Kuo said, "Why are you here if you're not going to eat"Zuo Yu'an said, waiting for y...Shu Tinglan didn't leave, she just stood in front of the desk and looked at Zhuo Yu an, meaning very clearly that she wanted him to solve this matter immediately. Zhuo Yu an looked at her like this, and suddenly asked

"Shu Tinglan, where do you get the audacity to barge into my office Do you think I'll automatically agree to whatever you say"

Shoutinglan was stunned. Where did she get the confidence It seemed like subconsciously, she knew that Zhu YUAN wouldn't make things difficult for her, so she dared to barge in without fear

Embarrassed by her subconscious, she felt ashamed after Zhuo Yu'an reminded her.

"I'm sorry, I believe Lin Zhifei can handle this position. I hope you'll keep your promise then." She walked out of his office with a composed face, but her heart was crumbling inside.

Although the two hadn't officially confirmed their romantic relationship, they had been intimate for a while. She didn't know her place and overstepped boundaries. After she closed the door, she fled in embarrassment.

In Zhuo Yu'an's office, Wen Jian and Wang Yan seemed to have grasped some astonishing truth from his words. He dialed an internal line to contact the Human Resources and Finance departments, personally verifying Lin Zhi's commission issue.

"Yes, I'll pay from my personal account first."

As he said, he would certainly agree to whatever Shu Tinglan asked.

"You're with Lawyer Shu" Wang Yan asked curiously, his head still a little fuzzy. He had been told it was him and Lin Zhihao before.

“Let’s continue the meeting.” Zhuo Yúan wasn't willing to bring up the topic again.

Wang Yan and Wen Jian both understood, Shu Tinglan was the person Zhu YUAN truly cared about, Lin Zhifei was just a smokescreen.

The discussion about the product eventually wore thin, with all three participants growing restless, especially Wen Jian. She seemed lost in thought several times and finally had to call a halt.

How could Zhuo Yu'an possibly like Shu Tinglan

Why her, of all people

Wen Jian's mind was buzzing with these questions The nightmare from her youth suddenly swept over her, catching her off guard.

Why is it always Shu Tinglan

Why is it precisely Shu Tinglan

She thought her world had long been vast and boundless, that the pain of her original family could no longer hurt her in the slightest. But fate, it seemed, had entered another cycle.

Her mother and Shu Tinglan's mother;

She and Shu Tinglan;

This enters the loop again.

She made a phone call to Wenlan across the ocean late at night, asking...

"Mom, back then, did you ever regret quietly waiting for Dad in the background"

"No regrets, only regret that I couldn't give you a complete family."

"Not a bit of regret Why" Wen Jian asked.

"Because of love." The Wenlan people are as their name suggests, gentle and kindhearted. They always follow their inner feelings and never shy away from saying "I love you" in front of their children.

Wen Jian nodded, receiving a boost of strength from Wen Lan, enough to keep going.

"Did you have a conflict with Yu'an" Wen Lan and Wen Jian, not only mother and daughter but also confidantes, could talk about anything.

"No."

"Mom is coming back to China next week, and I haven't seen her in a long time."

"Do you want to come back"

"Well, you're all going back, and I want to go back too. No matter how good it is out there, it always feels like you're just drifting."

"That's good too." Many things, with Mom around, she can help me think of ideas.

Shu Tinglan also left work early, walking with Lin Zhixuan. On the way, Lin Zhixuan received a text message notification of an incoming payment, looked at it happily, and handed his phone to Shu Tinglan's face.

“Zuo Yu'an is still a person.”

Shu Tinglan smiled, remembering how she had barged into his office today. He hadn't made things difficult for her and had quickly resolved the issue, even praising her.

"Other people are actually pretty good."

It's just that, some people are destined not to be together.

"It's good, but we're not a match. If you have time, you can search for the Zhuo family in Beijing."

"The Zhu family" Shu Tinglan hadn't really delved into Zhu Yunan's background. Back in Qining High School, she hadn't paid him any attention. Later, they ended up together by chance and she didn't bother to look into it.

“Yes, Zhuo is the only child. Given his background, rest assured, Wen Jian has no chance. A family like that would never allow a woman like Wen Jian, a illegitimate daughter, to enter their home.”

"Oh." Shu Tinglan had never been interested in his family background before, and now it was irrelevant. He sounded impressive, but she wouldn't go looking into it.

"Right, I'm going to use this money to pay off the rest of the mortgage. There will be some left over, so I'll get Aunt [Name] a better hospital, so you can visit her anytime."

"No, the current hospital is fine. If we need to change, I'll help her switch." Shu Tinglan rejected without hesitation; she didn't want to burden Lin Zhifei.

"Do you have money to change hospitals Does your bank account balance have five digits I'm not saying this about you, but your earning speed is slower than a turtle. At this snail's pace, you still have the face to reject me Besides, I'm not giving this to you for free. You'll have to pay me back later. My little notebook remembers everything, and I'll be adding interest and inflation in the future."

Lin Zhiyao, while speaking, transferred money in various ways on the banking app. With two beeps, Shu Tinglan received a notification of the incoming funds on her phone - it was incredibly efficient.

She lowered her head to look at the amount in the text message, her eyes reddening. How could she possibly deserve a friend like Lin Zhixuan

"Hello, thank you."

Lin Zhihao ignored her and continued excitedly to apply for early repayment.

Shu Tinglan's mother is currently hospitalized in a private hospital, which has good facilities in all aspects. However, the only problem is that the hospital's management system does not allow visits under normal circumstances except for special cases. Therefore, Shu Tinglan can only learn about her mother's condition through the attending physician.

I chatted with the attending physician during the Spring Festival, and my mother's condition has improved a lot. Her condition is stable and she doesn't need to stay in a completely sealed hospital. She was also planning to transfer hospitals, but because of financial concerns, she hasn't decided where to go yet.

Now that Lin Zhixuan has this money, many things can be solved easily.

The next few days, work was still very busy, she could only spare a little time each day to go to the hospital. She still mainly went to private hospitals, besides being expensive, there were no other problems.

Having settled on a hospital, she took an afternoon off to arrange the transfer.

Her mother's mental state has indeed improved a lot, and she keeps holding her hand tightly.

"Lanlan, would you like to live with Mommy at home"

"Mom, I talked to the doctor. From now on, you can come home on weekends." This was a compromise they reached. After so many years in the mental hospital, she probably couldn't adjust to the outside world if she were released all at once. Most importantly, Shu Tinglan couldn't take care of her mother 24/7 at home.

Mother silently nodded, as if agreeing.

The new hospital is much better than before. The ward is nicer, and my mother's movement isn't restricted anymore. She can walk around the courtyard with the help of a caregiver, as long as she stays within the hospital grounds.

It seems like everything is going in the right direction.

Her work is also progressing smoothly. In about half a month, all due diligence will be completed. Subsequently, the transaction negotiations between Zhuo Yuan Technology and Sheng Prui as well as the final delivery will be handled by Director Xiao and Zhou Ming, without her further involvement.e had never looked at her like that."Are you satisfied with putting yourself in danger"He hated that she hadn't left the city even after he made it so clear last night. What if Gan An caught herShu Ti...
