My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 823 - 832 Mother’s Best Friend

Li Hongge, overcome with anger and shame, accused Lin Xiangwan viciously. "Fine, fine, you don’t even care about your own mother, do you? You’d rather I go to my death, right? Just like your father, heartless and ungrateful! I knew you were incapable of true affection! Throwing you away when you were young was the right thing to do! A daughter like you, I’m better off without you!"

Two female officers restrained the agitated Li Hongge. "No disturbances allowed, visiting hours are over, go back now!"

Lin Xiangwan, separated by the glass, looked at her mother on the other side, listening to her discontent and verbal abuse.

She didn’t feel she was in the wrong, and couldn’t understand, even in her imagination.

"Let’s go, she has gone back," said the officer, rather politely.

Lin Xiangwan turned and nodded her head.

Outside, Su Yueze was waiting for her. Seeing her come out, he quickly approached and asked, "She must have scolded you, right?"

"Hmm!"

"Really, what kind of mother is she? She’s the one who committed the crimes and still has the nerve to scold you? She should be thankful to God that her daughter turned out so well, a law-abiding good citizen!" Su Yueze said, dissatisfied.

"..." Lin Xiangwan lowered her head, silent.

"Sorry, should I not speak ill of her? Even though she is a bad person, she’s still your birth mother!"

Lin Xiangwan shook her head. "No need to apologize; she is indeed a bad person, and I’m actually surprised that she scolds me."

She was upset and unhappy, which made Su Yueze worried.

"What’s wrong, are you under a lot of pressure, considering Qin Muchuan arrested your mother?"

Lin Xiangwan grew tense at the topic, obviously taking a deep breath. "Yes, why did it have to be such a coincidence?"

"Will it affect your relationship?"

Lin Xiangwan was at a loss. "I don’t know!"

"Do you blame Qin Muchuan?"

"Of course not. I have no reason to blame him; on the contrary, I think he did a good job!" Lin Xiangwan said without hesitation.

"Right, that’s good!" Su Yueze agreed emphatically. "So what are you upset about? Are you upset that woman can’t understand you?"

Lin Xiangwan shook her head again. "Although perhaps blood ties are important, I have no emotional connection with this blood relative, so it doesn’t hurt me at all. I don’t feel even a little bit sad for her. Yueze, this is why I’m in pain. Do you think I’m too heartless?"

"Of course not. Any emotion requires time to develop and is always reciprocal. She probably never took care of you for even a day, so it’s completely normal for you to have no feelings for her!"

"Hmm!"

"There’s no need to feel uneasy!" Su Yueze said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Lin Xiangwan still nodded, her mood subdued.

"Then give me a smile, will you?"

Lin Xiangwan felt the pain again. "I can’t smile; I just can’t manage it. Yueze, do you think Qin Muchuan will look down on me because of this?"

"Look down on you? Why?" Su Yueze asked, not understanding.

"Isn’t that obvious... is there really anything to doubt?" Lin Xiangwan frowned; this seemed like an obvious issue to her.

"It’s her who made the mistakes, not you; it has nothing to do with you. Why would he look down on you? Stop overthinking this!" Su Yueze pinched her cheek.

The pain from her cheek tugged at Lin Xiangwan’s nerves and brought her back to her senses. "Right, I have absolutely nothing to do with her. Even my name has no connection to hers. She never took care of me as I grew up. Why should her misdeeds affect me?"

"Hmm!"

Lin Xiangwan smiled, dispelling the gloom in her heart.

Just as they were about to walk out of the Detention Center’s gate, a woman in her forties or fifties caught their attention...

The woman, dressed neatly, was tall and slender, standing about 168 centimeters, with upright curly hair. From the back, she also looked quite stylish.

She was communicating with the Detention Center staff. "Officer Yu, please let me see her. I won’t say anything bad, I just want to bring her some food. She’s here without any relatives or friends, no one to provide for her!"

Officer Yu seemed to want to say something, looking around here and there. Seeing Su Yueze and Lin Xiangwan passing by, his face immediately turned stern. "No, Li Hongge is a serious offender. Visitation requires approval from higher-ups; I don’t have that authority!"

"But before..." the middle-aged woman tried to say something else.

Officer Yu immediately became stern. "What before? I didn’t let you see her before either! I’m telling you, troubling a low-ranking officer like me is useless; I really can’t decide on this matter!"

"Officer Yu..."

"Persisting with me here won’t do you any good!"

"Ah..."

The woman, looking particularly upset, walked toward a black car, carrying her things.

Lin Xiangwan and Su Yueze exchanged glances and quickly stepped forward, intercepting the woman outside the Detention Center’s gate. freёwebnoѵel.com

"Hello, are you here to visit Li Hongge?" Lin Xiangwan asked politely.

The middle-aged woman looked quite haggard, with no makeup on her face at all. Still, one could tell that her skin was in good condition, with only some slight wrinkles. "Yes!"

"How do you know her, or are you her relative?" Lin Xiangwan couldn’t shake the feeling, almost as if she was seeing a relative.

Indeed, Li Hongge was her mother. This woman had come to visit her again. If she was a relative, then she must be her relative too, right?

"Who are you?" The middle-aged woman finally turned her gaze on Lin Xiangwan.

Lin Xiangwan forced a dry smile. "Oh, I’m also here to see a friend."

"Oh!" The woman seemed reluctant to talk more and started to drive away.

"Excuse me, are you Li Hongge’s friend or relative?" Lin Xiangwan clung to the car door, persistently asking.

The woman looked quite defensive. "Why? What’s it to you?"

"Oh, just curious," Lin Xiangwan gave a poor excuse.

The woman glared at her. "Sorry, I’m not a celebrity, and I’m not obligated to satisfy your curiosity!"

Seeing that she was about to drive away, Lin Xiangwan grew anxious again and grabbed the car door, "Sorry, I lied. Actually, she is my relative, my aunt, and I have only recently found out about this!"

"Oh, you’re her niece?"

"Yes!" Lin Xiangwan nodded hastily.

"Xiaoxia?"

Xiaoxia? Who is Xiaoxia? Well, she had no choice but to agree. "Yes!"

"I never thought you’d change so much after growing up. I remember you were quite chubby as a child, but now you’re tall and slim," she began to talk more.

Lin Xiangwan nodded awkwardly. "Yes, aunt, may I ask who you are..."

"I’m her friend. Have you forgotten? I’m your Aunt Zhang!"
