Drop It

As Lin Kangnian gradually told Lin Nannan everything he had found out, she fell silent.

Just when Lin Kangnian thought she wouldn’t speak, he heard Lin Nannan say with sudden understanding, "So, the reason we’re not moving against Yu Yao is to catch a bigger fish?"

"Who is Yu Yao?" Lin Kangnian asked.

Lin Nannan looked up at him and said, "Brother, don’t get involved in what happens next."

Even if you tried, it wouldn't work. No matter how far their reach was, if they didn't want you to find something, no amount of effort would help.

Lin Kangnian gave her a puzzled look, but seeing how serious she was, he seemed to realize something and nodded. "Alright, I understand."

"Brother, thank you for all your hard work earlier!" Lin Nannan expressed her gratitude.

He had taken her words seriously, investigated thoroughly, and even made a special trip to tell her. No matter how much time passed, that kind of devotion never faded, and she deeply felt it.

"What are you talking about? We’re family—no need for such formalities," Lin Kangnian replied. Then, looking at his sister, who hadn’t changed much except for being a bit more tanned than two years ago, he said softly, "During these two years you dropped off the face of the earth, the whole family missed you terribly, especially Mom. She was losing sleep over it, regretting that if she had known the separation would last so long, she wouldn’t have returned to Beijing first. She should have stayed longer with you and Du Du..."

Lin Nannan’s heart ached as well. Kindness deserves kindness—she knew how well the Lin family treated her and couldn’t ignore it. But some things were beyond any promise she could make. She replied earnestly, "This time, let Mom stay here for a few more days. After I finish my work, I’ll go with A Hang and Du Du to visit Grandpa and Grandma."

Lin Kangnian had been waiting for her to say exactly that. He nodded and said, "Good. When the time comes, our whole family can be reunited."

Understanding that the authorities weren’t ignoring the situation but were instead laying a trap for a bigger fish, Lin Nannan felt much better. She asked out of the blue, "What about Zheng Min and Lin Shuang? Are they married? How are they doing now?"

Over the past two years, she had been completely cut off from outside news, so she had no idea how they were doing.

"Zheng Min is married. She always regretted that you weren’t there, but she’s doing well now. She married a good man and is pregnant—she’s due by the end of the year." Lin Kangnian’s tone softened noticeably as he spoke about family matters.

"My second uncle hasn’t returned much, but Lin Shuang comes back a few times a year. She’s become much more sensible than before and has a better relationship with the family. After all, she had no idea about the things Zhang Ling did."

Lin Nannan nodded, not dwelling too much on the matter. After all, Lin Shuang had genuinely wished them well back then and deeply resented what her mother had done, even wishing she hadn’t been born to Zhang Ling.

Lin Nannan simply couldn’t understand that kind of hatred.

Deep down, Lin Shuang was a Lin through and through and hadn’t been corrupted by Zhang Ling.

"When she gives birth, I’ll make sure to send her a gift then!" Lin Nannan said, unsure if she would be able to attend in person but making the promise anyway.

Lin Kangnian understood and said with a smile, "She’ll be thrilled!"

When Zheng Min got married, not only did Zheng Min regret Lin Nannan’s absence, but the whole family did too.

If Lin Nannan and her family had been there, it would have been perfect.

Unfortunately, Lu Hang was away on a mission at the time and couldn’t be reached, while Lin Nannan and Lu Dudu were missing without a trace—they couldn’t even be located. As a result, none of them attended, which was a real shame.

If Nan Nan could return for Zheng Min’s childbirth, it would be wonderful. But given the current situation, it seemed unlikely.
