226 An anonymous exposé

After dinner, the Auntie was still clearing the dishes on the table.

Lin Li wanted to help, but she was pulled aside by mother Zhou, who said that the two of them hadn’t seen each other for a long time and wanted to have a private talk.

The two of them sat on the sofa in the living room. Mother Zhou turned her head to look in the direction of the study room, and then looked at the little guy who was sitting on the side watching cartoons. She whispered in Lin Li’s ear and asked, ” “What’s wrong with Zhou han recently?”

Lin Li pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at her mother-in-law and said, ” “Mom, isn’t this good?”

“Yes, yes, yes. It’s pretty good, pretty good.” Mother Zhou nodded and said with a smile, I’m just curious. Why did Zhou Han’s blockhead suddenly change his mind? ”

Lin Li just smiled and didn’t reply. In fact, she wasn’t too sure either. Recently, Zhou Han’s attitude towards the child was obviously much better. Although he was still serious, everyone could feel that he had changed. He was no longer as obvious in rejecting the child as before. Although the way he looked at the child was still serious, he was no longer so cold.

In fact, she wanted to ask why, but in the end, she didn’t ask. She felt that there was no need to ask so clearly. The current outcome was good, and it was what everyone hoped for.

Lin Li, don’t take what mom said to heart. I’m just anxious. Mother Zhou said as she held her hand.

Lin Li shook her head and held her hand. I didn’t.

“Mommy knows that you’re a good child.” The topic became heavier as they continued. Mother Lin quickly changed the topic and said, ” “Xiao Li, when do you and ah han plan to give Xiao bin a little sister?”

Lin Li was slightly stunned. She felt that she had changed the topic too quickly, and her face became a little hot.

“Mom, why are you talking about this?” Lin Li turned her head away, not daring to look at her.

Seeing that she was shy, mother Zhou smiled and said with a disapproving look, ” “What’s wrong with that? it’s only a matter of time. You two have to have your own children.”

Lin Li’s face turned red from the question, but when she turned her head, she happened to meet the eyes of the little guy beside her. Those big black eyes were staring at her at the moment, and his expression seemed to be a little worried and nervous.

Lin Li suddenly remembered the day the little guy asked her if she didn’t want him because she had a little sister. She thought that this child must have heard what her mother-in-law said just now, so his sensitive little heart was probably overthinking it again.

Worried that the child would misunderstand, Lin Li quickly turned her head to look at mother Zhou and said, ” mom, Zhou han and I don’t have any plans in this area for the time being. We only have Xiaobin.

“This Yingluo.” Mother Zhou still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Li.

Lin Li expressed her attitude, ” mom, I just want to get along with Xiaobin right now. We can talk about other things in the future. After saying that, he turned to the child and smiled.

Seeing this, mother Zhou also saw something. The corners of her mouth slowly curled up into a smile, and she patted Lin Li’s hand. it’s been hard on you.

The days passed by peacefully for more than half a month. During this period of time, the little guy’s relationship with Lin Li was much better than before, and he was also more cheerful. Sometimes when he was with Lin Li, he would take the initiative to give the little things he made in the handicraft class in kindergarten to Lin Li. Lin Li would ask him about the things in school and would tell her. Now, he wasn’t so afraid to see Zhou han. During this period of time, the little guy had more work to do. And that was to send coffee to Zhou han.

In the beginning, he still needed Lin Li to be by his side to encourage him. When he sent it over, he only felt at ease when Lin Li was by his side. Later on, he slowly didn’t need it anymore. When it was time, he would ask Lin Li to brew coffee and then bring it to Zhou Han’s study room.

Of course, it wasn’t just the child who had changed during this period of time. Zhou han had also changed a little. Although it was only a minor adjustment and change in the details, Lin Li knew that this was enough for the child. As for Zhou han himself, he was also trying his best to do it. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

Zhou Han’s biggest change was that he came back earlier at night. He no longer worked until midnight every day before his child fell asleep. Now, he mostly brought home for work, so he would try his best to come back before his child went to bed so that the child would have a chance to say good night to him. In fact, at the beginning, Zhou han was not quite used to it. He just nodded his head slightly stiffly to indicate that he heard it. Later on, he slowly got used to it and his reaction became natural. Sometimes, he would also respond to him softly and say good night.

In fact, it would be pretty good if she could continue to live an ordinary life like this. Lin Li even realized that she was really letting go of the past bit by bit and starting to treat her marriage with Zhou han seriously. During this period of time, she always had the illusion that maybe she could continue to live an ordinary life with Zhou han.

However, accidents were called accidents because they were so fast that people had no time to react. By the time you came back to your senses, things had already been set in stone, and you could only accept it.

There were some things that they thought they could hide the answer until they died, but when it was revealed, the power was beyond everyone’s imagination.

Lin Li accompanied the child as he sat on his small bed. The little guy looked at her with his big eyes, and his face seemed to be full of questions.

Lin Li touched his head and tried her best to smile, but the smile was bitter and ugly. 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

“Auntie.” The little guy called her softly.

Lin Li replied softly, ” yes, what’s wrong? ”

The child looked at her and asked innocently, ” “Why didn’t you let me go to school these two days?”

“The school is on break for the next two days, so you don’t have to go to class.” Even Lin Li herself felt that this reason was a Little Blind, but she really couldn’t think of a better reason to tell him. He was still so young, so innocent and cute. She really didn’t want to see him get hurt, especially when he was so mature and sensitive.

“Is that so?” The little guy was puzzled and murmured in a low voice, ” “But the teacher didn’t mention it.”

Lin Li didn’t have the heart to lie to him, but it was for his own good, so it was obviously the best choice. She only said, ” your professor Chen called me. She said she’ll be there in a few days. The school is on holiday now, so there won’t be any classes.

“Oh.” The little fellow nodded doubtfully.

Lin Li accompanied him to read for a while. Seeing that he was rubbing his eyes with his hands, she guessed that he was probably sleepy, so she said, ” “Are you sleepy? Lie down and take a nap.”

The little guy was really tired. He usually had a few hours of lunch break in kindergarten, so he didn’t object. He took off his coat and put it on the small chair by the bed. Then, he laid down and pulled the blanket over himself. Before closing his eyes, he didn’t forget to say to Lin Li, ” “Auntie, wake me up at 2:30.” She usually woke up at 2:30 am in school.

Lin Li smiled and nodded, ” okay.

After covering him with the blanket, Lin Li retreated from the room and closed the door.

Standing on the balcony of the living room, Lin Li saw several press vehicles parked at the entrance of the community. They were all people from the gossip media.

Recalling the scene two days ago, when she was surrounded by those reporters at the entrance and almost couldn’t walk out, Lin Li was still a little frightened.

She and Zhou han didn’t expect that Xiao bin’s background would be exposed, and it was through the internet. Almost the entire Jiang city knew about it in one night.

Three nights ago, someone anonymously posted a post on the Jiangcheng City Forum. In the post, it brought up the incident of Ling LAN taking photos of Anran. It even wrote about how Ling LAN used a knife to threaten Anran in the hospital. However, no one expected that the anonymous informant would dig out Ling LAN and Zhou Han’s marriage. It was so detailed that even Ling Lan’s rotten private life when she was in America was exposed. The post even revealed Xiao bin’s background. It turned out that when Ling LAN was still su Yicheng’s fiancée, she had already secretly hooked up with the bartender of a bar. Later, when su Yicheng unilaterally called off the engagement, she followed Zhou han to the United States. However, eight months after she and Zhou han arrived in the United States, she gave birth to Xiao bin in a hospital in New York.

The anonymous informant seemed to know a lot about Ling LAN. He listed the exact time when Ling LAN first met the bartender. From this, they concluded that the child was not Zhou han, nor was he su Yicheng, but the bartender’s child!

Because of the rape case, Ling Lan’s mind had already become a little muddled. Now, she was arranged to stay in the sanatorium to cooperate with the treatment. Therefore, all the spearheads were now pointed at Zhou han. These two days, there were so many reporters camping out and surrounding them that no one could leave the house. Even the company was surrounded so tightly that not even water could pass through. Special Assistant Xu almost quarreled with those people, and Zhou han could only ask Special Assistant Xu to send him the work by email.

This matter had become a big deal now, and of course, it had also alarmed the institution’s compound. That afternoon, father Zhou personally called her, and she was the one who picked up the call. She could hear that father Zhou’s tone was very serious at that time, with a sense of Majesty that even made people a little scared. In fact, father Zhou didn’t say much, only asking her to pick up Zhou Han’s phone.

She could imagine what father Zhou would ask on the other end of the phone. Zhou han was silent for a while before saying, ” “Xiao bin is my child.”

She didn’t know what father Zhou said on the other end of the phone because Zhou han hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Lin Li thought for a while and finally decided to go to the study.

He reached out and knocked on the door of the study. After hearing no response for a long time, he finally opened the door and went in.

She pushed the door open and saw that Zhou han wasn’t sitting behind the desk. Just as she was feeling puzzled, she looked up and saw him standing in front of the window with a cigarette in his hand. He was looking outside and seemed to be in a daze.

Lin Li was a little choked by the strong smell of smoke that filled the room. She covered her hand and coughed lightly. Cough, cough ...”

Upon hearing her voice, Zhou han turned his head and looked at her in a daze.

Lin Li held back her cough and walked over to him. When she got closer, she found that the ground was full of cigarette butts, at least ten of them.
