Lin Lin was told on the way that Wen Baobao was kidnapped by Lu Junhan.
She rushed to keep Wen Shuyue’s company though she was still mad at Wen Shuyue, because trifles could never ruin friendship.
“What a bastard! If I meet Lu Junhan, I’ll beat him up. But you don’t have to worry. He’s not gonna hurt Baobao. He just tries to threaten you with Baobao in his hand,” Lin Lin resented.
Wen Shuyue was also aware of that, but she couldn’t stop worrying that Lu Junhan would probably maltreat Baobao.
With an unnatural look, Wen Shuyue took a glance at Lin Lin. “Lin Lin, thank you for being with me at this moment. I thought…”
“Come on. Don’t tell me you thought I would abandon my bestie because of a man. That’s not gonna happen. But I can’t forgive you that easily. You’ve got to make it up to me,” Lin Lin interrupted, apparently having seen through Wen Shuyue’s mind.
Lin Lin and Wen Shuyue never said cheesy words to each other, which was especially awkward for people like Lin Lin.
Wen Shuyue finally put on a smile and agreed without hesitation, “Sure. However you want it, I’ll make it up to you. But you’ve got to trust me. He Siming and I are just friends. I was trying to defeat him that day, so he’d meet you as we bet.”
But Wen Shuyue hadn’t expected things would go wrong. Or else, in no way would she have had the bet. Now, she not only lost the game but also made her friend angry.
“None of these will help since he doesn’t want to meet me. I got it. I have to depend on myself. It’s time for Plan B.” With a sigh, Lin Lin put on a gloomy look but soon turned peaceful.
Plan B?
So Lin Lin had Plan A before?
With the corner of her lips curled upward, Wen Shuyue suddenly realized Lin Lin was better at hooking up with men than Wen Shuyue imagined.
But it was not the time to talk about these now. Looking solemn with a phone in her hand, Wen Shuyue hesitated about whether to inform He Siming of the news or not.
The phone suddenly buzzed.
“Earth to Yueyue! Your phone is buzzing. Pick it up.”
The buzz and Lin Lin’s voice suddenly rang, which pulled Wen Shuyue back from her thoughts. Wen Shuyue picked up the phone without a look at the caller ID.
“Hello, who’s that speaking?”
Wen Shuyue was thrilled to hear the answer and said with a smile, “Mom, you finally call me.”
Ever since Wen Shuyue went abroad, her mother had never called her and Lu Junhan had kept her mother away from her, which was why Wen Shuyue hadn’t really do anything that would really bring doom to Lu Junhan. Today, Wen Shuyue was over the moon to receive the unexpected call from her mother.
Lin Lin was astonished to hear that and also felt happy for Wen Shuyue. Lin Lin bantered, “Like they say, when God closes a door for you, He will also leave a window open for you. So you don’t have to worry about Baobao, he’s absolutely gonna be fine.”
“Knock it off.” Wen Shuyue rolled her eyes at Lin Lin and continued speaking on the phone excitedly, “Mom, how have you been? Has Lu Junhan hurt you?”
When Wen Shuyue’s mother answered her questions, the smile on Wen Shuyue’s face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a solemn and confused look.
Since Wen Shuyue hang up the phone quite a while later, she had worn a long face.
With the eyes fixed on Wen Shuyue’s face, Lin Lin perceived that something seemed wrong and nudged Wen Shuyue. “Hey, you should be happy that your mother called you. Why the long face ?”
Wen Shuyue shook her head and said blandly with the hands holding the head, “My mother is still in captivity. She wants me to cooperate with Lu Junhan. Or else, Lu Junhan will keep me from seeing my mom and Baobao.”
“What? Son of a bitch. Let’s go find them now.” Lin Lin was pissed off and pulled Wen Shuyue to find Lu Junhan together.
Wen Shuyue stopped Lin Lin when she came to her senses. Before Wen Shuyue spoke, she received a message. Wen Shuyue’s mother sent Wen Shuyue an address and wanted to meet her there alone.
Lin Lin drove Wen Shuyue there and waited outside since Lin Lin was not allowed to get in.
Wen Shuyue felt more of concerns and nervousness than excitement since it had been long since she met her mother.
As the door creaked open, Wen Shuyue entered carefully. When she was looking around, a familiar but strange voice suddenly rang from the front.
“Yueyue.”
Wen Shuyue turned to the source of the voice subconsciously. Upon seeing her mother, she instantly beamed with a smile and rushed to her mother.
“Mom, we finally meet.”
Being emotional made Wen Shuyue choke. She threw herself into her mother’s arms when tears welled up in Wen Shuyue’s the bloodshot eyes and almost trickled down.
Patting Wen Shuyue on the back with a smile, Wen Shuyue’s mother persuaded her gently, “Yueyue, I know it must be hard for you these years. But your son is very important, you can’t risk his life for business.”
These words gave Wen Shuyue a start. She put her hands off dully and forced a smile. “Mom, it’s been long since we met. That’s all you want to say to me?”
“Yueyue, I…” Wen Shuyue’s mother tried to explain but she bit her words back.
“Can you tell me how my father died? Where are his remains preserved?” Wen Shuyue asked with a frown. When she was told her father was dead, she didn’t believe it. But she lost hopes since she failed to contact her father all these years.
Wen Shuyue expected her mother would tell the truth. Out of Wen Shuyue’s expectation, the only thing her mother was concerned about was to persuade Wen Shuyue to cooperate with Lu Junhan.
Shifting her eyes, Wen Shuyue’s mother couldn’t think of an excuse and gave up with a sigh. “Actually, your father is still alive. He was arrested by the policemen.”
“What? Why? Is he really…”
“The blood tie is really amazing. Being physically apart doesn’t make you guys mentally apart at all.”
Lu Junhan suddenly interrupted Wen Shuyue with his disgusting voice.
“Lu Junhan! Why are you here?”
