in Jinran and walked towards the distance. After a few steps, he stopped, turned his back to Lin Jinran, and spoke softly, "Jinfan, about what you said last time, I've thought about it very carefully....Having endured a night of frustration, Xu Ronghua had barely slept. Hearing Lin Zhigang's snoring beside him, the anger in his heart grew more and more intense.

She's worked her whole life for what she has, and she won't let Liu Fengqing take it so easily, not ever!

Outside, the sky was gloomy with thick clouds, as if rain were about to fall at any moment. Xu Ronghua turned over and got out of bed, ignoring Lin Zhigang who had just finished washing up. He left home alone and headed straight for the hospital.

After breakfast, Liu Fengqing would usually take a stroll in the garden to digest her meal before heading to the rehabilitation room. Ever since she was able to stand up and walk slowly, she mostly relied on caregivers to help her down the stairs for leg exercises.

When Xu Ronghua rushed over, he just missed the direct confrontation with Liu Fengqing and arrived empty-handed.

After waiting for ten minutes, Liu Fengqing didn't show up. She went to ask a passing nurse where Liu Fengqing was. The nurse pointed to the stairwell not far away and told her to practice walking the stairs.

She chased after him, but there was no one there. Just then, her phone rang. It was Lin Ruochu asking her to go over.

Xu Ronghua felt a surge of anger, stomped his foot in frustration, and turned to leave.

A few minutes after leaving, Liu Fengqing's caregiver appeared in the rehabilitation room. The two slowly walked into the rehabilitation room and began a new day of rehabilitation training.

Upon receiving a call from Lin Zhigang, Lin Jinyan was quite surprised. It had been a long time since they last contacted each other, and such a sudden contact must mean something important.

Lin Zhigang asked Lin Jinran to meet at a cafe. Lin Jinran felt resistance in her heart and initially just perfunctorily replied. When Lin Zhigang mentioned his plan to visit his mother in the hospital, she immediately agreed to meet out of caution.

The cafe was a half-hour's drive from Fu's residence, on the first floor of a building not far from Lin Zhigang's company. As promised, Lin Jinran arrived and saw Lin Zhigang beckoning to her from a seat.

His steps faltered, Lin Jinran walked towards him. She called out politely and distantly, "Dad."

She came over, completely afraid of her father going to her mother for trouble, helplessly agreed.

"Sit down." Lin Zhigang's attitude was still filled with arrogance, though slightly better than before.

He pulled up a chair and sat across from him. Since Liu Fengqing's divorce from Lin Zhigang, Lin Jinyan had rarely enjoyed paternal love, let alone sitting at the same table with his father.

His usual calmness and composure seemed out of place. She wasn't used to it at all.

"What's the matter" Lin Jinran asked straightforwardly. She believed that Lin Zhigang wouldn't come to see her without a reason, and there must be something important he wanted to discuss.

Lin Zhigang tightened his face and snorted coldly, “You are my daughter, I'm fine, can't I see you”

Lin Jinran pursed her lips and didn't speak, not bothering to argue with him.

"Even if you divorce your mother, I'm still your father. Does a father need a reason to see his daughter" Lin Zhigang growled unhappily.

Those around who were drinking coffee all turned to look over and watch the commotion.

Perhaps Lin Zhigang felt that his words had intimidated Lin Jinyan. He picked up the coffee in front of him with a fat hand, took a sip, and put down the air of a leader. He seemed to ask like an interrogator, "The last time I went to the hospital, I saw your mother was awake. When did her mother wake up"

A flicker of surprise crossed his mind, and Lin Jinran roughly guessed the purpose of Lin Zhigang's visit. It was mainly about his mother.

She lowered her eyes and replied softly, "It's been a while."

"If I hadn't gone to the hospital yesterday, you wouldn't have even told us about it, would you" Lin Zhigang still put on an airs and glared at her, clearly very dissatisfied with Lin Jinyan's actions.and did not affect her in any way.She seems to have gained some weight, probably because of the pregnancy. But her face remains as clear and serene as ever. She just seems to be able to stay slim no...
