Mr. Tycoon Is Actually the Father of My Child!

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Really not considering Mr. Yin anymore?

The call was from the woman she had called mom for nineteen years.

Memories flashed through her mind, and the woman’s gentle, nurturing face made Qianqian’s nose tingle with sourness.

Lin Qian took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and answered the phone.

She knew that once she encountered Gu Yan, Madam Gu would definitely make this call.

She couldn’t avoid it.

After connecting, Lin Qian didn’t speak; the word "mom" rolled around in her throat, but she couldn’t utter it.

"Qianqian, is that you?"

Madam Gu’s affectionate voice came through the phone.

Lin Qian’s throat felt blocked, and she quietly murmured an acknowledgment.

"Qianqian, after four years, you’re finally willing to show up! Where have you been these past four years? Why didn’t you contact me?"

Madam Gu’s voice was tinged with a choke, "Qianqian, are you blaming mom? I’m sorry, I didn’t know your dad would be that kind of person. Back then, I gave him a sum of money to make sure he would take good care of you. But who knew, he didn’t care for you at all, and you inexplicably got pregnant and dropped out of school."

Madam Gu paused and sighed, "Qianqian, when you got into trouble back then, why didn’t you reach out to me and your dad? Whether or not you’re our biological daughter, your dad and I would not have ignored your situation."

Her words, laden with deep regret and tenderness, made Lin Qian’s tears fall like rain.

Back then, her biological father had delivered her to a stranger’s bed, a subject she found difficult to broach.

By the time she discovered she was pregnant, her biological father had already arranged for her to drop out of school and confiscated her phone.

She had no chance to seek help.

Moreover, Mr. and Madam Gu weren’t her real parents, so even if she had sought their help, what could they have done?

It was all in the past!

Lin Qian swallowed the bitterness in her mouth, opened it, and at last, called her "Mom," "Mom, I’m doing very well, thank you for your concern."

"Qianqian, don’t be so distant with mom. Now that you’re back, come home and see me and your dad. It’s just that Gu Yan is preparing to get engaged to Yu’an, and you’re part of our family, so it would be good if you could come back and lend a hand."

Madam Gu brought this up now—was it intentional or not?

Knowing her feelings for Su Yu’an, to remind her so thoughtlessly, was that really okay?

Lin Qian bit her lip and responded politely, "Mom, I’m quite busy with work, I’ll come and see you and dad when I have time."

"Qianqian, where are you working? How could any outside company compare to home? Why not work for the Gu family instead? After all, it’s our own business."

Faced with Madam Gu’s eager invitation, Lin Qian just felt overwhelmed.

"Mom, I’m working at MXL luxury brand counter now, there’s no need to trouble you and dad."

"You’re a counter saleswoman? Qianqian, how can you do such a low-ranking job? Rest assured, you at least called me mom once, I won’t neglect you again this time."

A low-ranking saleswoman?

Indeed, in the eyes of the wealthy, such a job wasn’t presentable.

But it had been her livelihood for four years.

"Mom, thanks again for your concern, but I really like my current job and haven’t considered changing it. I’m home now, we’ll talk another time."

She and they were just parallel lines in the end.

She didn’t want to disrupt this equilibrium, didn’t want to keep recalling the past.

They should keep their distance.

Back at the apartment, Lin Qian had already composed herself.

But the tearstains on her face still led the perceptive Lin Zirui to notice.

His face filled with concern, he hurriedly asked, "Mommy, have you been crying? Who bullied you?"

Hearing her son’s worried, tender voice made Lin Qian’s nose sting, and she nearly burst into tears again.

She gently embraced him in her arms, "Baby, nobody bullied Mommy. It’s just that when Mommy came back just now, some sand accidentally blew into my eyes."

So what if she had lost kinship and love?

At least she had gained such a lovely son.

When God closed one window, He indeed opened another for her, didn’t He?

Lin Zirui frowned slightly, clearly not quite believing her.

"Mommy, I’ve been thinking, and I still feel you need a big man to protect you. Won’t you really consider Mr. Yin? Mr. Yin is pretty handsome, rich, and very capable. I think he’s qualified to protect you."

Mommy must have been bullied again.

If she had Mr. Yin to protect her, no one would dare to bully her.

Hearing this, Lin Qian straightened up the little guy, and couldn’t help but laugh.

"Baby, the gap between Mommy and Mr. Yin is too big. What’s more, Mommy isn’t thinking of remarrying. You know, I just want to find your brother and sister and spend a lifetime with my little man and my little princess."

Was her own son also influenced by Little Candy?

Still trying to set up Mr. Yin Moran with her?

Having gone through a romantic relationship, she had not considered mixing with other men again.

"But Mommy..."

"Alright, baby, Mommy still needs your help with something."

Lin Qian cut off Lin Zirui’s words and, smiling, ruffled his soft hair, took out her mobile phone, and flipped through a few photos.

"Baby, this man’s name is Wang Jianguo, and he’s a member of your school’s board. Your computer skills are really great. Mommy wants you to send these photos anonymously to his home and to your school’s official website via email, can you do that?"

Her son was her Achilles’ heel, untouchable by anyone.

Wang Jianguo dared to harm her son’s tender heart covertly; she had to root out this pest!

"No problem, but Mommy, why do you want to expose him?"

Lin Zirui took the photos thoughtfully, and in a flash of inspiration, suddenly realized, "Mommy, is the discrimination I’m facing from the teachers and students at school related to him?"

Otherwise, with Mommy’s kind nature, she would never deal with an old man covertly.

She must have crossed her bottom line.

"My baby is so smart."

Lin Qian pecked him on the cheek, "He deliberately had that Mrs. Zhang stir up the students to ostracize you, and I could not just stand by and do nothing for our treasure."

"Hehe, I know Mommy loves me the most, even though you can be quite fierce sometimes."

Lin Zirui smiled sheepishly, touching his still somewhat sore little hand.

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, the slight sadness lingering in her heart instantly vanished.

This child still remembered last night’s punishment, coyly cooing her in a roundabout way.

"But don’t worry, Mommy. Our homeroom teacher has been replaced, and those students who laughed at and hit me have not come to school anymore. The rest of the classmates all get along very well with me."

"Is that so? That’s great!"

Lin Qian’s eyebrows perked up, but she couldn’t help thinking inside that the teacher’s replacement and the expulsion of several students were probably because of Yin Moran.

Thinking about it, she really owed him a big favor.

Thinking of that proud man, Lin Qian’s eyes sparkled, forcing herself not to think too deeply.

"Mommy, there’s still food kept warm in the kitchen. You go eat, I’ll get busy."

Lin Zirui spoke cheerfully and ran into his bedroom with his little short legs.

"Okay, thank you, my treasure."

What a caring little leather jacket he was.

Lin Qian stood up, her lips curved, and her eyes full of softness.
