Sister Yi saw Lin Yixun coming downstairs after washing up and couldn’t help but smile and ask, "Miss Lin, what would you like to eat for breakfast?" "Do we have noodles in the kitchen?" "Noodles? Wouldn’t they be too oily? Mr. Zhou said, to nourish your body, it’s better to eat something light." The Mr. Zhou mentioned by Sister Yi is a nutritionist hired specifically for Lin Yixun by Leng Yixiu to take care of her diet. "Then forget it, I’m not hungry anyway." Seeing that Lin Yixun was about to leave without eating anything, Sister Yi, thinking of how Lin Yixun stayed upstairs alone the whole day yesterday and barely ate anything, couldn’t help but call out to her, "Miss Lin, please wait a moment, I’ll go talk to Mr. Zhou." Sister Yi thought that even if Lin Yixun had a bowl of noodles with not much nutrition in the morning, it was still better than eating nothing at all. The nutritionist also agreed that Sister Yi had a point and didn’t oppose it. The cook in the kitchen was someone Leng Yixiu had hired at a high price, and his culinary skills were top-notch, so making a bowl of noodles was certainly not a problem. Soon, a bowl of hot and fragrant noodles with minced meat topping was brought out by Sister Yi. The noodles looked and smelled great, and they likely tasted delicious too. But for some reason, as soon as Lin Yixun smelled the noodles, she felt a bit nauseous. She took a deep breath and drank a glass of hot water, which made the feeling go away. Lin Yixun didn’t think much of it, as she had always had a sensitive stomach and would occasionally feel nauseous in the past. Given how she had been through a lot recently and had missed meals, it was normal for her stomach to feel uncomfortable. However, Lin Yixun didn’t eat much of the bowl of noodles. "Miss Lin, please eat a bit more?" "I can’t eat anymore." "How about I get you some hot porridge?" "No need, I really don’t have an appetite." Lin Yixun stood up from her seat, glanced deeply at Sister Yi, and sincerely said, "Sister Yi, thank you for everything during this time." "Miss Lin, it’s my job to take care of you." "Regardless, thank you." When she finished eating, Old He’s car was already waiting at the villa entrance. Lin Yixun silently got into the car, and an hour later, they reached their destination. Compared to a few days ago, Lin’s mother’s condition had improved quite a bit, even her complexion looked better. Lin Yixun felt relieved at this, thinking that as long as her mother was well, as long as her family was fine, everything she did would be worth it. "Xiao Xun, who sent you over today? I saw you getting out of a black car from upstairs just now." Lin Yixun paused slightly in her hand holding the fruit knife, and the long apple peel fell into the fruit plate. She lowered her eyes, avoiding her mother’s gaze, and replied nonchalantly, "I got up late this morning, so I took a cab. It turns out I was lucky today and caught a ride in a luxury car. Who would have thought that even people with luxury cars would occasionally give rides to earn some gas money." Hearing this, Lin’s mother’s gaze dimmed, "Oh, so that’s how it is. I thought... I thought that car was Xiao Ou’s." Mentioning Ouyang Hao, Lin’s mother sighed and muttered, "Actually, Xiao Ou is still a good boy, cheerful and handsome, most importantly, he cares a lot about you. But in the end..." Lin’s mother stopped halfway through her words, seeing Lin Yixun’s pale face, she stopped herself, "Forget it, fate is hard to determine." Lin Yixun forced a smile, "Yes, sometimes, even if you are in love, you can’t be together. He and I just weren’t meant to be." Knowing her daughter well, Lin’s mother was aware that the matter with Xiao Ou had greatly hurt Lin Yixun. Seeing Lin Yixun’s expression darken, her heart ached, and she decided to change the heavy topic. "Xiao Xun, the weather is nice today, how about you accompany me for a walk?" Lin Yixun nodded, "Sure, the doctor also said that going for walks is good for your health." Shengde Hospital had great landscaping, with mountains and lakes forming a beautiful environment. There was a long walkway along the lakeside, extending all the way to the center of the lake. In the center of the lake was a pavilion with wooden benches for patients to rest when they got tired from walking. Lin Yixun accompanied Lin’s mother for two rounds around the lake. In the bright sunlight, they walked while occasionally listening to her mother recount amusing stories from the past. The dark clouds in her heart for days seemed to have lifted considerably. "Mom, are you tired? Shall we rest over there?" Lin’s mother nodded, "I am a bit tired. Getting old, not as strong as before." "You are not old at all. To me, you are always young and beautiful." "You and your sweet-talking mouth," her mother fondly patted her head, her eyes filled with immeasurable tenderness. Lin Yixun leaned on her mother’s shoulder, thoroughly enjoying this hard-earned time. She thought, even without love, even though her life was a mess, being able to lean on her mother’s shoulder and enjoy the sunlight was wonderful. However, what she didn’t know was that not far from them, a pair of resentful eyes were staring at them. Last night, Cheng Ying had been forcibly sent here. Her illness was different from common diseases; it was hard to control when it flared up, but she recovered quickly. In fact, by the time she was sent to Shengde, her consciousness had already become clear. Thinking about how she lost control in the western restaurant yesterday, she regretted it deeply. She had been taking her medication on time, so why did she suddenly have an episode? How scary did she look at that time? Did she frighten Leng Yixiu? After regaining her senses, she said nothing, did nothing, and didn’t contact Leng Yixiu. She simply followed the doctor’s orders, taking her medication and sleeping on time. She thought, only by recovering quickly could she get Leng Yixiu to come back to her. Of course, all of this depended on Lin Yixun not being in the way. The reason she and Leng Yixiu ended up was all because of that woman, Lin Yixun! But, lo and behold, just when she was thinking about how to deal with Lin Yixun, she had appeared in front of her. She curled her lips sarcastically, was this fate? Cheng Ying’s gaze slowly shifted from Lin Yixun to the middle-aged woman beside her. Who was that woman? Why was Lin Yixun with her? Cheng Ying squinted, finding the middle-aged woman somewhat familiar. She couldn’t remember where she had seen her before. Turning to her assistant, she said, "Find out who that middle-aged woman is and what her relationship with Lin Yixun is."
