Shen Lin looked at each other very politely, not wanting to cause trouble or express arrogance, so she also prepared a simple gift.

"Miss Shen, our wife wants to see you. Please come to the Lanting Tea House for tea. ”

"May I know what Madame commands?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Shen! I do not know. I'm just here to pick you up. ”

When Shen Lin heard this, although there was still no change on the surface, there was a trace of turmoil in his heart.

Although she had heard about Yan's mother coming back from New Zealand for a long time, she didn't think that Yan's mother would take the initiative to find her.

Why look for her? What's the matter with her?

Shen Lin even began to wonder if the other party was Yan Jingzhe's biological mother.

You really can't blame Shen Lin for this. She's been lied to too many times. Coupled with yesterday's chaos, instinct made her more cautious.

"How could Mrs. Yan know about me?"

Shen Lin looked at the driver with a smile and an obvious inquiry in her eyes.

The other party obviously didn't know how to answer the question, looked down and thought for a long time, then took out the phone from his pocket, pressed a button, and put the phone to his ear.

The phone was quickly connected, and the driver said a few words to the other side, and then handed the phone to Shen Lin, indicating to Shen Lin that the other party was Mrs. Yan.

Shen Lin took the phone in disbelief, but still maintained basic etiquette and respect.

"Hello, Auntie?"

"Shen Lin, is that right? I am Jing Zhe's mother, Fang Lanqing. Just call me Mrs. Yan."

As soon as Shen Lin's words fell, a woman's gentle and powerful voice came, without any emotion, as if she was talking about a real estate contract.

"Yes, Madame Yan!"

"When I came back, I heard something about you from other people. I'm interested in you and want to meet you. Are you free? ”

Fang Lanqing said "interested", but his tone sounded colder than anyone else's.

This "other" also sounds subtle. Although Shen Lin wasn't sure who said anything to Fang Lanqing, what was certain was that it wasn't necessarily a good thing.

"Mrs. Yan, does Mr. Yan know about our meeting?"

Although Shen Lin and Yan Jingzhe could call each other by their names a long time ago, in front of Fang Lanqing, they were obviously dissatisfied with Shen Lin, so she still maintained the most appropriate title.

"I'm meeting with you privately, not on business. Let him know what to do? Fang Lanqing's tone was a little cold and stiff. She also seemed to realize this feeling very quickly, so she took a break to adjust her state. "Anyway, I just wanted to meet you, and I hope you can come."

When Shen Lin heard this, he was silent for a long time.

It's not that there is nothing to say, but that they are carefully weighing and thinking about what the other party wants to do and whether they should go to this meeting.

After thinking about it for a long time, what finally drove Shen Lin to meet was that she was very curious about the purpose of Fang Lanqing's meeting with her.

"Okay Auntie, I'll be a little late."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

With that, the phone hung up.

Shen Lin handed the phone to the driver, politely told the driver that he was troublesome to him, and then took the driver out of the lounge.

Luo Lina watched Shen Lin and the driver walk together, couldn't help but worry, and hurriedly moved forward.

"Boss, are you going out?"

Shen Lin nodded.

"I need to go out on some business and will be back in about an hour." After Shen Lin finished speaking, he glanced at the driver with his peripheral vision, and then looked up at the clock on the wall.

The driver obviously didn't intend to say anything, so Shen Lin pretended to ponder for a moment, and then said:

"Well, if something happens, I'll text you and remember to call me if you're in a hurry." When Shen Lin said this, she looked at Luo Lina very seriously, deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the last three words, and then repeated: "Remember to call me!" ”

As she spoke, Shen Lin also raised the mobile phone in her hand and gestured to Lorina. Shen Lin's meaning is very simple. She set a one-hour limit for the conversation. If she notices any problems during the conversation, she will notify Lorena via text message.

If she doesn't come back after an hour and doesn't call, Loryna has to take the initiative to call her.

Speaking of which, if Lorena still doesn't understand, then this assistant will be in vain.

Luo Lina looked back at Shen Lin with the same seriousness, nodded vigorously, and said, "Okay, I'll remember, boss." Don't worry. ”

Seeing that Luo Lina fully understood the meaning of her words, Shen Lin and the driver left with peace of mind.

Lanting Teahouse is a famous old teahouse, it was not built in the city center, so it is far from the central business district where Shen Lin is located, and it takes 20 minutes by car.

The driver just led Shen Lin into the teahouse, whispered a few words to the waiter in the teahouse, and then stopped himself. The waiter at the teahouse automatically took Shen Lin to the private room where Fang Lanqing was.

The first floor of the Lanting Teahouse was open, the second floor was a place to listen to cross talk, and Shen Lin was taken to the third floor, a place with only a few private rooms.

Lanting Tea House is close to the river view, so the private rooms on the third floor are built by the windows, so that guests can enjoy the scenery while drinking tea.

Shen Lin was led by the waiter to the private room on the third floor.

Although the private room is in the form of a sliding door, when it opens, it is full of antique Chinese atmosphere.

Shen Lin saw Fang Lanqing sitting on a carved Nanmu chair at a glance.

She thought that Fang Lanqing's aura should be very strong, at least comparable to her on the phone, but in fact, what Shen Lin, who saw Fang Lanqing, felt was only calm and restrained.

Hearing the sound of the sliding door being pushed open, Fang Lanqing turned his head to look over.

I have to say that Shen Lin was stunned by Fang Lanqing's face. If she can maintain this state at the age of 60, she really won't be afraid of the years.

"Coming? Sit down. ”

Fang Lanqing looked at Shen Lin, raised his hand, and gestured to the position opposite him.

Shen Lin first politely wrote the waiter, then obeyed Fang Lanqing's words, and walked over to sit opposite her.

After Shen Lin sat down, he looked at it, Fang Lanqing was quietly holding a bunch of materials in his hand, and there were two words "Shen Lin" clearly written on the top.

Seeing Shen Lin staring at the information in hand, Fang Lanqing didn't feel embarrassed and concealed it, but flipped over twice and spoke directly: "I've always wanted to know who is with my son, isn't it?" ”

Fang Lanqing took this for granted, and he didn't feel guilty for secretly investigating others and snooping on other people's privacy.

"You're right, but if you want to know something, ask me personally, instead of choosing such an uncomfortable and illegal way."

Shen Lin was not affected by Fang Lanqing's aura at all, she had always been arrogant.

Before she came, she also checked Fang Lanqing's information on the road, but these were simple things that could be found online.

Shen Lin knew that the other party was a veteran of the shopping mall, and there might be a lot of unexpected actions, but she didn't expect that Fang Lanqing would investigate her so carefully.

"A person's mouth can't tell the difference between good and bad. How do I know if what you're saying is true or if it's just what you're trying to say? ”

Fang Lanqing picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of the hot tea inside.

"To tell you the truth, after reading your profile, I like you very much. I even admire your personality, experience, and personal abilities. When I saw you, I realized that you were really exactly what you were on the profile.

Anyone who can be praised by Fang Lanqing, such a business giant, must be the dragon and phoenix among people in her heart, but Shen Lin is not happy to listen to such words.

She knew that there must be something waiting for her behind Fang Lanqing.

Sure enough, after Fang Lanqing put down the teacup in her hand, her gaze gradually cooled down from the interest just now.

"The only thing that can be confirmed is that my private detective is still objective and reliable." “

After pausing for a moment, Fang Lanqing continued.

"As for my evaluation of you, it is based on personal subjective wishes, and whether you are suitable for Jing Zhe is two different things."

Shen Lin made all the preparations, but when he heard these words, he still couldn't help frowning.

"Mrs. Yan, whether I am suitable for Jing Zhe or not, this should be decided by Jing Zhe himself, right?"

"People don't necessarily know themselves, or even who is the best fit for them? Especially, a child like Jing Zhe who has to bear the hopes of the entire family. ”

When Fang Lanqing talked about the family's hopes, the whole person became serious, and the atmosphere immediately broke out.

It seems that the development of the Gan family is the whole driving force of her life. If someone stands in the way of this, she will definitely fight the other party desperately. But the more she was like this, the more confused Shen Lin became. Her mother was a victim of the so-called family hope. She doesn't understand why the so-called family wants to ruin a person's love or even a happy life.

"Don't you think it's selfish?"

Shen Lin suppressed the anger in her heart and looked at Fang Lanqing.

Even though Shen Lin suppressed it well, Fang Lanqing still felt her anger.

Eyebrows raised slightly, Fang Lanqing looked at Shen Lin, and her tone was slightly teasing: "You seem to be very sensitive to this matter, is it related to your mother?" ”

"Yes, family origins do have an impact on people's minds, and I don't blame you. But I think you can get to where you are today on your own. You should have discarded most of the shortcomings and bad habits that are brought on you by bloodline, it's just that I didn't expect some things to get too deeply ingrained in your head. ”

Every word Fang Lanqing said was logical, rational and ironic.

She looked at Shen Lin like a scientist observing a monkey, without any respect, only objective inquiry, which made Shen Lin very uncomfortable.

"So what did your family of origin bring to you? Seeing everything from God's point of view and infinitely despising everyone? Shen Lin couldn't help but go back.

Fang Lanqing's performance was still cool, she continued after taking a sip of tea.

"No, it gives me endless wealth and the ability to see the world rationally. Therefore, Jing Zhe can guess what he has now, and Jing Zhe should have more wealth and ability to look at the future world more rationally, so he needs to be more rational about his relationship and marriage. ”

Fang Lanqing shattered all the warmth in Shen Lin's heart, as if she was not Yan Jingzhe's mother, but just a high-speed money-making machine.

In her world, there are no feelings, only rules and choices between right and wrong.

"I don't know where you and Jing Zhe fit in, but all interactions will inevitably face marital problems, and from a rational point of view, you are not suitable for Jing Zhe!"
