It was winter, but Lin Nuan felt that the wind was especially warm.
The branches rustled in the wind, and the dried leaves fell all over the ground, landing on the shoulder of Cen Mo's black woolen coat.
Lin Nuan bent over and patted the leaves off Cen Mo's shoulder, then helped him up. "To Mom and Dad, seeing the two of us standing here is the happiest thing for them!"
"Do you hate me?" Cen Mo suddenly asked Lin Nuan.
"What?" Lin Nuan stared at Cen Mo with her clear eyes, puzzled.
"If it weren't for me, Mom wouldn't have gone crazy, and Dad wouldn't have swapped you with the Lins. If I hadn't gone missing, we might have been a happy family …" Cen Mo's voice was very hoarse.
Lin Nuan shook her head. "You didn't want to be lost either. Who doesn't want to live by their parents' side? You want it more than anyone else! Moreover … I feel that everything in this world has its limits. If I hadn't been swapped with the Lins, I wouldn't have met Wen Moshen, gone to Iraq, met Huai 'an, and wouldn't have the happiness I have now! "
She stared at Cen Mo and smiled. "Moreover, you should ask Lin Ran whether you hate me or not!"
Cen Mo was silent. He heard Lin Nuan say, "Brother … even if Mom and Dad are no longer around, we have to be a happy family."
Cen Mo's gaze landed on Lin Nuan's fair and pretty face, and he couldn't describe what he was feeling.
"Our family has missed too many good times. Now that Mom and Dad can't be by our side, I believe they'll be happier than anything else to see us siblings living a good life!"
Cen Mo couldn't hold back his emotions and gently pulled Lin Nuan into his arms. He suppressed the sobs in his voice and said, "In the future, I'll take good care of you on behalf of Mom and Dad!"
Lin Nuan placed her hand on Cen Mo's waist and nodded. "We'll take care of each other."
That day, Lin Nuan communicated with the cemetery management office and asked them to add a few words on her biological parents' tombstones … Son: Lu Boye.
…
The address Lin Ran sent Lin Nuan was a teahouse.
Before Cen Mo and Lin Nuan arrived, Lin Ran felt very uneasy …
Lin Ran had never heard anyone mention her missing brother when she was young. At that time, her mother was crazy, and her father never mentioned him. But sometimes, she could tell from her father's tone that he was looking for someone.
When she was young, when she wanted a new pair of shoes, her father would apologetically say that the family couldn't afford it. Where was the money? His father said that he had his own uses for it …
She had always known what her father was looking for. It would cost a lot of money every month, so their family didn't have any extra money except for the necessary monthly living expenses.
Even for a meal of meat, his father had to start calculating several days in advance.
When she was young, she always knew that her family was poor, but she didn't know why! Her father was more hardworking and capable than anyone else's father, but why was it difficult for him to even have a meal of meat!
When she saw the letter Ji Yun had left behind, she realized that the reason they were poor was because their parents had been searching for their lost son. They hadn't given up all these years.
Lin Ran asked for a pot of forget-me-nots, but her heart couldn't calm down.
Remembering that Lin Nuan wanted her to tell her parents that she had found her brother, Lin Ran didn't say much in front of Liang Mulan.
But … Lin Ran couldn't hold back her curiosity.

Lin Chen asked around about Cen Mo.
Lin Chen was usually busier. The day before yesterday, Lin Ran had specially made a trip to the company to ask about Cen Mo. But in the three hours she was there, all she could do was sit on the sofa and watch Lin Chen make phone calls and sign documents. So, in the end, she left quietly and didn't disturb him.
Lin Ran searched for Cen Mo on the search engine, but there wasn't much information about him. It only said that Cen Mo was from the Cen family and that the Cen family had already gone bankrupt.
Lin Ran picked up her teacup and took two sips, then wrapped her coat tightly around herself.
In the past, before Lin Ran knew that she was a child of the Lin family and that her parents were looking for someone, she hated that person to the core. She felt that he was a burden to the family and had to spend so much money.
But now, this person was suddenly found by Lin Nuan, and she was really going to meet him. Lin Ran felt a little agitated and a little nervous.
"Thud thud thud —"
Someone knocked on the door of the private room, and Lin Ran got up in a fluster, almost spilling the tea in her cup.
She stood up, and the chair made a "clatter" sound. The door of the private room opened.
Seeing Lin Nuan open the door and enter, Lin Ran's gaze looked behind Lin Nuan. The tall and long-legged Cen Mo stood behind Lin Nuan, his well-defined facial features as if they were carved by a knife.
Lin Ran heard her heart pounding. She was actually as nervous as when she first met Lin Chen …
Their gazes met, and Lin Ran saw the depths of Cen Mo's dark eyes, so deep that it made one's heart tremble.
Lin Nuan and Cen Mo came in and sat opposite Lin Ran. Seeing Cen Mo remove his woolen coat and place it on the back of the chair, Lin Ran returned to her senses and sat down.
She reached out for the teapot to pour tea for Lin Nuan and Cen Mo, but Cen Mo picked up the teapot first. Shielding the lapel of his suit with one hand, he bent over and filled her cup with water. "Let me do it!"
Although Lin Ran wasn't Cen Mo's blood-related younger sister, she had lived with Cen Mo's biological parents for so long, so it wasn't too much to say that Lin Ran was Cen Mo's younger sister.
Moreover, when Lin Nuan's identity was exposed back then, almost everyone in the Lin family treated Lin Nuan as a member of the Lin family! Moreover, when Cen Mo first heard about Lin Nuan and Lin Ran from Lin Chen, he felt very sympathetic towards Lin Ran.
Moreover, on the way from the cemetery to the teahouse, Lin Nuan told Cen Mo that after she brought her mother out of the mental hospital, her mother only acknowledged Lin Ran. Lin Ran accompanied her mother almost every day, and before her mother passed away, she even planned to take her mother overseas for a vacation with her boyfriend.
Cen Mo was very grateful to Lin Ran.
Now, even if it was to return the favor, Cen Mo ought to treat Lin Ran as his biological younger sister and take care of her in the future.
Cen Mo looked at Lin Ran, who was sitting opposite him. He didn't seem to know how to ask about his parents' lives in the past. Instead, Lin Nuan said to Lin Ran, "Regarding Dad and Mom's lives in the past, I'm indeed not too sure. I didn't talk to Dad, and Mom only regained consciousness for a short while before she passed away …"
Lin Ran nodded.
"When you were young, it must have been tough living with Dad and Mom, right?" Cen Mo sounded apologetic.
She looked at Cen Mo, nodded, and said, "It was tough. When I was young, my family of three squeezed into one house, and the living conditions were very poor. Logically speaking … if Dad was hardworking, the family wouldn't be in a mess. But every time we had meat for a meal, Dad had to calculate for a long time. All the shoes on my feet were only changed when there were holes in them and I was so small that I couldn't wear them anymore."
I'm begging for monthly votes, I'm begging for monthly votes!
