Chapter 75 Aftermath
ad infiltrated their ranks. He immediately realized this was connected to the commotion at the large-scale laboratory and the ripple effect of her escape. Shortly after, he learned that Ripple had gon...Wu Junyi, without any external disturbances and frightened by his older sister's methods, diligently studied. He dared not have rebellious thoughts anymore because those people were a cautionary tale for him.
The three members of the Wu family were all smiling when they saw Lianyi picking them up at the airport. Wu Yong's smile was genuine, Wan Guifen's was somewhat strained, and Wu Jinyin's was a bit silly.
"Ripple, thank you for coming to pick us up."
Mr. Wu smiled and said with a chuckle.
"It's not easy for you to come once, wait until Junyi finishes reporting, and let him take you to play for a few more days."
After meeting the Wu family, Lian Yi walked and talked, explaining their itinerary clearly to them.
"Okay, this time I came with Junyi to take a stroll and see things. The capital has developed so rapidly in recent years. Thanks to you and Junyi, we can broaden our horizons."
"That's right, it would be even better if the soft ones could come over too."
Mother suddenly said that, which made the whole atmosphere awkward.
"Mom, if you want her to be more gentle, just give her a call and ask her to come back directly after graduation."
Liàn Yī said without a trace of sincerity.
"Me"
Before Wanmu could finish her words, Junyi interrupted her:
"Mom, let me finish reporting this first! I'm starving!"
"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll go check in first."
After making arrangements for Wu Jinyi, Lianyi took the three of them to have a hot pot dinner. Then she sent Wu Yong and Wan Guifen to the pre-booked hotel to rest. She was going to return to her house near the school to rest, as she had an important meeting tomorrow. She had squeezed out time today to pick them up.
Wu Junyi hesitated for a long time, but finally, after Lian Yi sent him back to school, he still called out to her as she was about to leave.
"Big sister, I have something to tell you."
"Say!"
"It's about my older sister."
"I'm listening!"
I overheard Mom and Lian Rou talking on the phone, they mentioned children. She seems to want Grandma to ask you to do something.
Upon hearing this, Lian Yi retracted her foot that had taken a step forward and looked directly at Wu Junyi, saying:
Tell me more about it.
"It was after I received the acceptance letter that my parents decided to send me here for reporting. My mom gave my elder sister a call, saying they wanted to get together in the capital. She had been studying abroad for four years and hadn't come back. My mom really missed her."
As they chatted, the conversation turned to children. It seemed my older sister had given birth, though I wasn't sure who the father was. But from what my mother said, it sounded like only the Zhao family could help, and the only one who could speak to them was you.
It's estimated that Mom will talk to you about this in the next two days, so you better be prepared. If it's a small matter, you can agree. If it's a big matter, let Uncle Zhao make the decision instead. Don't be influenced by your mom.
"Alright, I got it. Don't worry about it, just focus on being a good college student."
The ripples waved goodbye.
The next day, Lianyi saw Zhao Fenglin, who had just returned from Shanghai, at the company.
"Dad, I have something to tell you. Could I take five minutes of your time"
"Of course! Recently, the company's focus has completely shifted from Shanghai. Our family of three even have less time to eat together."
After Zhao Fenglin had helped Lian Ri sit down, he smiled and said.
"It's all right after this period, of course, Mom and I support you."
"What brings you to me today"
"Dad, do you know that Xianrou has a child"
Ripples asked plainly.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Fenglin nodded and then said:
"Your mother doesn't know about this, and I haven't told her. Where did you hear about it"
"This is my younger brother, Wu Junyi. I heard it when our foster mother and Lianrou were on the phone."
"Ciara was born in France, and it was kept a secret from everyone, even your mother who visits her every year. "
“If I’m not mistaken, this child should be Yang Ziyì’s. She wants to ask Wan Guifěn to help me because she either wants the child to acknowledge his father or for her to rekindle her relationship with Yang Ziyì. And she wants Zhao family to take the lead in this.”
"I have already given her my head once, she was the one who refused and actively proposed going abroad. For those four years abroad, all her expenses were also borne by me. Next, I don't intend to interfere in her affairs with the Yang family."
Zhao Fenglin, as a man and a father, strongly disapproves of Zhao Xianrou's actions.
"Dad, please don't be angry! Even if you don't show up, Lianrou will still have your label on her. It's better to solve all of this at once."
"Do you have a solution"
Zhao Fenglin asked directly.
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll leave this whole thing to you."
Zhao Fenglin waved his hand, authorizing Lianyi to handle this matter.
When the time comes, it'll require both parents to be present. Remember to give Mom a heads-up beforehand and explain everything clearly. Don't let her get caught off guard, and I don't want her to be taken advantage of either.
After the conversation ended, Lianyi gave a final instruction and then got up to leave.
"You've given me the hardest part."
"That's your wife, you're responsible for her!"
Ripple smiled mischievously and then vanished.
The day before Wu Junyi officially began his classes, Wan Guifen met with Lian Yi alone and then talked about Jian Rou.
"Ripples, I don't know how Lin Rou became pregnant before marriage, but she is very sure that the father of the child is Yang Ziyi. This person was her fiance before, but their engagement ended because they found out about you two being swapped."
Now that the child is three years old, she can't possibly be without a father. And she can't stay abroad forever, so I'm hoping you can help her out.
Wàn Guìfēn wiped her tears as she spoke.
"Qian Rou is so naive, why are you only telling me this now My mother visited France several times to see her, and she never mentioned this at all. If she wanted to rekindle the relationship with the Yang family, it would have been better for my mother to step in directly."
Her expression was calm, she simply spoke about the facts.
She probably felt embarrassed to say it herself! I came to help you out, she doesn't know about this either. I only found out about the child's father from her, so don't ask her about it for now, lest she think I gossiped.
Wan Guifen immediately explained.
"I understand, since this matter involves the Zhao family, as the person involved, she would definitely come back with her child. Are you sure she will return to the country"
"When the time comes, I'll just say I'm sick and want to see her and the children. She'll definitely come back."
"I know what to do. Wait until Lianshou and the child come back, then you can let me know. At least we should know her thoughts and not disregard her wishes."
Ripples picked up her small handbag, as if she had agreed to this matter.
"Okay, I will contact Fiber as soon as possible and have her return home."
With a smile on her face, Wan Guifen couldn't believe how smoothly things were going. As soon as Lianyi left, she rushed to the hotel room phone and dialed an international long-distance call.
Ten days later, Xianrou hugged a three-year-old boy and flew back to Shanghai.ripples had already checked the SUV, and there was no tracker installed in the vehicle. These three people apparently concealed their whereabouts to rendezvous with her.She drove her fully enclosed ca...
