Just as Lan Yujuan returned the 100,000 yuan membership recharge money via the original route, she heard the sound of the money arriving in her account from the bar counter.

She looked up and saw the woman she had been chatting with earlier walking up to her.

"Madam, please follow me!"

Lan Yujuan tidied herself up quickly, gave Qi Lei a look, and then walked around the bar.

"My surname is Yin, and my name is Yin Rong." The other person followed Lan Yujuan to the second floor, introducing herself as they walked.

"I'm a few years older than Boss Lan, you can call me Sister Yin or Sister Rong, either is fine."

Upon reaching the second floor, Lan Yujuan stepped aside at the top of the stairs to let Yin Rong pass first, replying with a faint smile:

"Okay, Sister Yin."

On the second floor at this time, a few tables of customers were sitting in twos and threes, mostly in a quiet atmosphere, drinking coffee while playing on their phones, reading books, or working.

After looking around, Yin Rong sat down in a quiet spot on the outermost side, where she could see the river view.

"This corner is nice, let's sit here!"

Lan Yujuan smiled faintly and nodded, then followed and sat down opposite her.

I have to say, the spot Yin Rong chose was absolutely brilliant!

This location not only offers a good view and a quiet environment, but it also successfully avoids surveillance cameras.

There are only two issues: the network signal is poor in this location, so people who need to use electronic devices when they come upstairs generally don't like to sit here.

Then there's the issue of the strong sunlight; sitting in this spot makes reading quite glaring.

"Isn't Boss Lan curious why I came to see you today?" Yin Rong asked directly after sitting down.

Whether it was Lan Yujuan's imagination or not, she noticed several times that the other person's gaze was fixed on her abdomen before quickly looking away.

The look in his eyes didn't betray any malice; it did indeed carry a hint of envy and regret.

Lan Yujuan pretended not to notice and feigned surprise, saying:

"Could it be that Sister Yin came here today not for the coffee, but to see me?"

"But just now downstairs, I clearly heard you say that it was because our coffee beans are delicious that..."

Upon hearing this, the other person laughed. "I was just saying it casually. Boss Lan, you didn't actually believe me, did you?"

"There were outsiders present; it was just something I said offhand!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yujuan immediately fell silent and stopped responding.

But to her surprise, the other party was even more direct than she had imagined. He turned around, took out a document from his bag, and handed it directly to Lan Yujuan.

"I know that Mr. Chen is currently investigating someone."

"Coincidentally, I have some information that I haven't been able to use for a long time."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lan, for taking this home and showing it to Mr. Chen. I would be extremely grateful if it could be of any use!"

The smile on Lan Yujuan's face suddenly faded. She stared at the documents on the table, neither moving nor speaking.

Who is Chen Mo investigating recently? No one knows better than her!

Her mind started racing, and she quickly figured out some key information.

In other words, Yin Rong, who came to find him specifically, was actually after that Xie guy.

So, is she trying to deal with Xie An'an, or Xie An'an's father, that high-ranking leader?

Lan Yujuan slowly raised her head, looked into Yin Rong's eyes, and said:

"So, what kind of relationship exists between Sister Yin and Mr. Xie?"

Regardless of the relationship, she disliked the idea of ​​using her and Chen Mo as pawns at such a crucial moment.

Yin Rong was stunned, her face turning pale instantly. She clearly hadn't expected Lan Yujuan to guess so quickly.

After a long pause, the other person took a deep breath and said softly:

"I never imagined that you two, husband and wife, would have such a close relationship. It's unbelievable that someone like President Chen would tell you everything."

Lan Yujuan listened quietly, still without saying a word.

This evasive answer was not what she wanted to hear.

"Okay, I can tell you." Yin Rong adjusted her posture, becoming more serious.

"A few years ago, Mr. Xie and I had a child." Even after so many years, Yin Rong's expression was still filled with sadness when she mentioned this, and even her hands on the table trembled slightly.

Yin Rong turned her head, gazing at the distant river view, and said softly:

"It's a little boy, he's over six months along, he has a heartbeat and he can feel fetal movement."

"I can feel his real presence every day, and I look forward to meeting him soon."

"I believe that by now, Boss Lan should have guessed what kind of relationship I have with Mr. Xie, right?"

Lan Yujuan lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and said, "Mmm."

Then I picked up the lemonade on the table and took a sip.

Yin Rong took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. When she spoke again, her eyes were already red.

Mr. Xie said that he has no children and no one to carry on his family line.

"If I can bear him a son, he shall marry me."

"I'm so happy. I see the baby in my belly as a turning point in my life. I feel like God is still looking out for me. I've suffered for half my life, so it's time for good days to come, right?"

Lan Yujuan held the glass in both hands, gently swirling it as she watched the bright green mint leaves slowly rise and fall in the warm water.

She had a rough idea of ​​who Yin Rong was.

Sure enough, Yin Rong's next words confirmed her guess.

"But who could have imagined that fate would play such a cruel joke on me!"

"Xie An'an, that woman who is so vicious at such a young age!"

"She secretly invited me to a banquet under Mr. Xie's name, but then tampered with the food."

"Mr. Xie did not show up that night. I later learned that those days happened to be the days when Mr. Xie was away on a business trip."

"I ate the tampered food, and my stomach started feeling unwell that night."

"When I woke up the next morning, there was no more fetal movement in my belly. I rushed to the hospital, but it was too late..."

Lan Yujuan listened quietly, gazing silently at the other person.

Perhaps it was a painful topic, because although Yin Rong didn't cry out loud, large tears fell like beads from a broken string, one after another.

Lan Yujuan took the tissue box from the side and gently handed it to Yin Rong.

"Later, because of the loss of this child, a rift gradually developed between Mr. Xie and me, and our relationship became more and more distant."

"Because of that child, he compensated me with a large sum of money."

"Although I still nominally hold the title of Mr. Xie's girlfriend, and my allowance arrives on time every month, in reality, he hasn't stayed overnight at my place for several years."

"Later, I found out that Xie An'an had secretly arranged for a girl younger than me to get on Mr. Xie's big ship behind my back."

"That girl, like me, looked seven or eight parts similar to Mr. Xie's first love, and their family backgrounds were also similar. She quickly won Mr. Xie's heart."

After hearing this story, Lan Yujuan turned her gaze back to the document on the table, feeling uncertain for a moment.

"So, you gave me this document today simply to get revenge on Xie An'an and avenge your child?"

Yin Rong sneered, shook her head, and gritted her teeth, saying:

"Xie An'an? She should have paid the price for her actions long ago!"

"But she is, after all, Mr. Xie's bloodline. As long as Xie An'an's protective umbrella remains intact, she will always have someone to back her up and someone to clean up her messes."

"If I can't have it, then nobody can have a good time!"

At this point, Lan Yujuan finally understood: Yin Rong's target was the one above.
