Compared with Lin Nuan, Lin Ran felt that he was an outsider to this family.

The mobile phone in Lin Nuan's pants vibrate. She plugged in the electric kettle, started boiling, and pulled out her phone. She picked up the phone after seeing Fu Huai'an's name on the screen.

Lin Nuan glanced at Lin Ran, who was still in the kitchen. She lowered her voice and said, "Hehe..."

"Are you in the Lin family?" Fu Huai'an asked.

"Yes..."

"I'll have to stay at the office tonight to work overtime, but I'll try to get there as early as possible. If I can't pick you up and Tuan Tuan in time, I'll send a driver over ......"

"It's okay, focus on your work! You don't have to worry about Tuan Tuan and me!

After Lin Nuan hung up the phone, she went to get the hot water bottle. Lin Ran blew the water in the cup. She continued to lean against the counter and calmly opened her mouth and said, "There is no more water......"

Seeing that Lin Ran had no intention of leaving, Lin Nuan asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

"Didn't you say that you would never have anything to do with the Lin family again? Why are you here again" Lin Ran asked, her emotions unrecognizable from her calm voice.

"I'm sorry!" Lin Nuan pursed her lips and said. "Mom called me earlier today, so I ......"

Lin Nuan felt guilty about Lin Ran, and it was indeed her fault for breaking her promise...... Like a fickle and despicable character. She couldn't continue to explain, but fell silent.

She didn't want to make excuses to say that she couldn't bear to cut off all contact with Liang Mulan and Lin Jingquan, who had raised her for more than 20 years; This is what hurts Lin Ran the most.

"I'll give you all these assets, so can you not come here and stay away from my parents" Lin Ran said with a faint smile, without the angry and vicious words she had before.

Lin Nuan's hands clenched into fists. It's one thing to know what's wrong and what's right, but it's another thing if she can really let go.

"Don't say you don't want those. I will only be relieved if you take them, who knows what you want from our family! Lin Ran said.

The kitchen was silent except for the sound of boiling water in the kettle.

Lin Ran looked at Lin Nuan and said, "Lin Nuan, do you know what you look like now?" In simple words, I'm sure you can understand that you are no different from a third party! You know deep down that it's wrong to be a family destroyer, but you still continue to pester that married man, even though you have promised his wife that you will stay away from her husband!

Lin Nuan's ears became hot, because she couldn't retaliate.

Lin Ran was right.

Even if what happened that year was not Lin Nuan's choice, even if she was also a victim, even if her parents who had raised her for more than 20 years suddenly became someone else's, she couldn't accept it!

Her behavior is indeed no different from that of a third party.

"Don't you think it's funny that my parents want me to make peace with you and treat you like a sister? It's like asking your wife to be friends with a third party...... Absolutely unheard of! Lin Ran said, her smile gradually disappearing as she spoke. Lin Nuan, every time you appear in our house, you are in the heart of a straight knife! Do you think... Can I really be sisters with you?

Lin Ran put the cup on the marble counter, put his arms around himself, and said, "While you were talking happily downstairs, I was left upstairs alone. It's like I'm an outsider in this family! This feeling... Only when you're around! Father, mother, and even brother were very kind to me when you were away, so when you came to my house, I despised it! Do you understand?

Lin Nuan nodded.

"I had a complete falling out with you before. Even if we try to patch it, the cracks will still come out, and I can't sit back and pretend to be sisters like you are like nothing happened. You have never experienced the life I once lived, and you do not understand my anger and hatred!

This was probably the first time Lin Ran had spoken to Lin Nuan calmly, and there was no uncontrollable anger, so Lin Nuan listened carefully.

"My brother is right, you are innocent, and I was also raised by your parents. I understand it all, but my hatred can't be solved like this, and I'm not a pretend person......"

...

Lin Ran took the lead in coming out of the small kitchen and sat in the living room to play with Tuan Tuan.

Tuan Tuan is introverted and quiet, so he just keeps looking at the kitchen with a straight face.

Lin Nuan made tea and brought it out to Lin Chen, who had already come back downstairs.

Tuan Tuan misses his father. He walked slowly towards Lin Nuan, and his little hand tugged at Lin Nuan's sleeve.

Lin Nuan bent down and heard Tuan Tuan whispering in her ear, asking when they would be able to go home.

Lin Nuan smiled faintly and stroked Tuan Tuan's head. Her eyes were slightly red, and she asked, "Tuan Tuan, do you want to go home now?"

"Yes!" Tuan Tuan nodded.

Seeing that Lin Nuan seemed to have plans to leave now, Liang Mulan frowned and said, "What's the hurry?" Dinner is almost ready... I made a few of your favorite dishes!

Lin Ran sat quietly on the sofa.

She was no longer agitated by everything, because her heart was gradually getting cold. Whenever her parents became better to Lin Nuan, her heart became even colder.

"I received a call from Huai'an asking me to help him get an important document!" Lin Nuan lied.

Lin Ran and Lin Nuan had already walked out of the kitchen one after another, so Liang Mulan subconsciously glanced at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran's face was expressionless, but the fingers on his chest were clenched into fists, and his knuckles were white.

"Lin Nuan just received a phone call......" Lin Ran said simply.

It's not good to delay sending important files. Lin knows that for a company, important documents... It can only be handled by the people you trust most.

"I'll give you a ride..."Lin Chen said, turned around and went upstairs to change his clothes again.

"No need! I just booked a taxi using the app and it will arrive soon. Just let the security guard know and let the car in later!

Although Liang Mulan couldn't bear to be separated so soon, she didn't force Lin Nuan to stay.

Lin Nuan bent down and helped Tuan Tuan put on the uniform jacket at the door. Tuan Tuan stood still obediently, asked Lin Nuan to buckle his coat, and then carried his small schoolbag.

Lin Nuan stood up and found that the taxi was already at the door.

She put on her hat and grabbed her coat in her hands. After getting the satchel, she smiled and said, "I'll go first!"

She didn't call her parents in front of Lin Ran anymore.

Lin Ran handed the envelope to Lin Nuan and said, "Take it ......"

Lin Nuan glanced up at Lin Ran, but did not take the envelope. She said, "I'm not going to take this, it's too bulky!"

She hugged Tuan Tuan and looked at Liang Mulan and Lin Jingquan who were standing by the door, and Lin Chen who was standing behind them with his hands in his pockets. Tears formed in her eyes.

She solemnly bid farewell to the Lin family in her heart.

Afraid that they would notice the change in her mood, Lin Nuan turned around and left while hugging Tuan Tuan, and silently walked into the cab.

She closed the door and held Tuan Tuan in her arms. She didn't look back, her eyes moistened.

...

There were no important documents to send to Fu Huai'an's office, but since Lin Nuan said it in front of Tuan Tuan, she didn't want Tuan Tuan to know that she was lying.

She thought for a while before asking Tuan Tuan: "Do you want to go to the company with your mother to find your father?"

Tuan Tuan nodded eagerly. He misses his dad so much!

Lin Nuan is not the kind of person who is good at creating sudden surprises, so she honestly texted Fu Huai'an and told him that she lied about to send him documents in front of the children and asked him if it was convenient for them to go to his office.

Fu Huaian hurriedly replied that it was very convenient.

This simple sentence brought Lin Nuan back from her depressed mood, and a happy smile curled up at the corner of her mouth.

Lin Nuan remembered that Fu Huai'an hadn't eaten yet, so he asked the driver to go to Wangjiang Restaurant to order food by the way, planning to eat a little with Fu Huai'an in the company.

Fu Huaian asked his assistant Xiao Lu to wait for Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan at the entrance of the building in advance.

Seeing the taxi approaching, Xiao Lu guessed that Lin Nuan had arrived, and the gentleman respectfully opened the door of the back seat of the car. He took a box of food that Lin Nuan had placed on the seat next to her, greeted her, and said, "Mrs. Fu, Mr. Fu asked me to come down to pick you up and Tuan Tuan."

Lin Nuan was still a little unaccustomed to hearing others call her Mrs. Fu, but she just smiled and nodded, "Thank you, I'm sorry, I'm troublesome!"

Lin Nuan walked into the CapitaLand Building with Tuan Tuan in her arms, followed by assistant Xiaolu, causing some people to turn around and look at her curiously. Seeing Xiao Lu's respectful demeanor and attitude, they couldn't help but guess Lin Nuan's state.

The mirror wall of the elevator reflected Xiao Lu, and he walked half a step behind Lin Nuan. She noticed that he was wearing only a shirt... His sleeves were messily pushed to his elbows, and his staff tags hung crookedly around his neck. He didn't look like his usual neat self, and Lin Nuan wondered if they were very busy that day.

Lin Nuan couldn't help but ask, "Are you all very busy today?"

Xiao Lu raised his head and said with a smile: "En... We were all very busy because the board suddenly wanted to check our finances and they wanted it as soon as possible. We have to hand them over by tomorrow morning, so the entire finance department has to work overtime, and once that's done, our president has to look at them again before they can be submitted.

Even by this time, not a single employee in CapitaLand's finance department was off duty. Since the presidents haven't approved the accounts, they still can't leave even if they stay and do nothing......
