After discussing the collaboration, Lin's father and mother felt they got along even better with Xu Xianrui and his wife.
They seemed to understand why Lin Yan had asked them to invest in their own company. They weren't unworldly, they just didn't react as quickly.
It was difficult to repay favors. If they didn't ask for anything, Xu Xianrui and his wife would surely be preoccupied with how to repay them. It was better to make a reasonable request so they could offer some compensation.
Lin's father was confident that his factory would be profitable. Of course, after taking so much money from them, he had to make money and couldn't let their investment go to waste.
"Young Master Meng, the information has been found. However..." the voice on the phone sounded hesitant.
"However, what?" Meng Shuo Jing's brows furrowed. Was she not living well? Were her biological parents treating her badly?
"I saw Young Madam Meng and her husband here. They also seem to know Miss Fu Yan."
"My sister? Why is she there? Xiao Bao is still so young, and they just found him. Why did they go out again?"
"It seems Miss Fu Yan saved Young Master Xiao Bao."
What? Xiao Bao was saved by her too?
Then their family owed Fu Yan a debt that was truly hard to repay.
"What exactly is the situation?" Meng Shuo Jing asked.
"We found the video from that time. It seems Miss Fu Yan discovered the traffickers at the station and saved Young Master Xiao Bao. Oh, Miss Fu Yan's surname is Lin now, and her name is Lin Yan.
I've already sent the video link to your email. Miss Lin Yan rescued Young Master Xiao Bao while traveling after her high school entrance exams.
She is now attending the best high school in Yi'an City. From what I've observed, her current parents care about her very much."
"So my sister and brother-in-law went to thank her?"
"It's likely. However, they also signed a contract. Young Madam Meng had bodyguards with her, so I couldn't investigate too thoroughly."
"I understand. Send me all the information you've found in a moment, and you don't need to investigate further over there."
Meng Shuo Jing felt it was truly a coincidence. He had almost been abducted before, and she had saved him. Now his nephew was almost sold, and she had also helped.
Their Meng family owed her two lives. He wondered if his sister would compensate her, so she could live a better life.
Is her name Lin Yan now? He felt he should go to Yi'an to see her and check for himself if she was doing well.
No matter how much others said, he wouldn't be entirely at ease. Now that he knew she had saved his nephew again, he felt even more compelled to thank her properly. These were two lives!
However, he would wait until his sister returned before saying anything. He needed to discuss it with his sister and see how they could help her live a better life.
Fu Yin sat in her classroom, but her mind had wandered elsewhere.
In the third period this afternoon, there was a basketball game in the high school section, and Meng Shuo Jing was one of the players. She really wanted to go and watch.
Although Meng Shuo Jing had never responded to her, Fu Yin hadn't given up. She believed it was simply because she wasn't outstanding enough in the school, and they belonged to different departments, so they had too few opportunities to meet.
But she knew Meng Shuo Jing definitely remembered her. Now, all she had to do was work hard to make him fall in love with her.
In her past life, he got engaged to Fu Yan, wasn't it because Fu Yan was outstanding enough? The alliance between the Meng family and the Fu family was also a win-win situation.
Now that Fu family only had her, as long as Meng Shuo Jing remembered her, he would definitely choose her for the arranged marriage!
It was just that she had come back a bit too late. She had to learn many of her classes from scratch, and her painting wasn't as outstanding as her music or ballet.
Unless she could win several national awards, but she knew her talent wasn't that high.
Therefore, she still needed to showcase her other strengths to make the Meng family believe she was worthy of Meng Shuo Jing.
Once she could establish a connection with the Meng family, her status in her parents' hearts would also be elevated. In her previous life, Fu Yan was like that, wasn't she?
She had an engagement with the Meng family, so even though she wasn't a child of the Fu family, she still overshadowed her, the biological child of the Fu family, in every way.
Fu Yin pondered how to get leave for the third period this afternoon. She wanted to go to the sports field to watch Meng Shuo Jing's game. However, this game was between two schools, and many junior high teachers would surely be present.
If the teachers saw her, how would she explain it! She hesitated, unsure whether to ask for leave.
Fu Yin looked out the window at the beautiful scenery, and her thoughts drifted back to the junior high school in that small town.
She had originally forgotten about it, but a few days ago, someone had asked her where she used to live. To portray her tragic image of having her wealthy life stolen for many years, she had described the town where she lived in detail to that person.
She also spoke of her concern for Lin Yan and her magnanimity about the past, and how Lin Yan had stolen her parents from her.
Seeing their denouncement of Lin Yan, Fu Yin felt very satisfied. That's right, why should Lin Yan just get away with it!
She should be hated by everyone, called malicious by everyone, so that she, the true daughter whose life had been stolen for over a decade, would appear even more pitiable.
This school was so good! Every flower and tree was designed, and every teaching building had an elevator.
There were no old, uneven desks and chairs, no walls that shed dust at a touch, and no cement floors that could never be cleaned.
The hygiene here was handled by cleaners, and every floor tile was spotless. The cafeteria here had a rich variety of food, with a taste comparable to a five-star hotel.
This was the life that rightfully belonged to her. Thinking of Lin Yan living in such an environment now, she couldn't help but smile.
"Fu Yin, what are you thinking about? Why are you so happy?" a classmate nearby asked.
Fu Yin snapped back to reality, only to realize she had actually smiled.
"Well, I was thinking about Senior Meng's game this afternoon. It's a shame, I probably won't be able to watch it."
This classmate also knew Fu Yin's fondness for Meng Shuo Jing, but who was Senior Meng? He was the perfect male god in the hearts of girls, so he was definitely hard to pursue!
"Then why don't you ask for leave? Anyway, the third period is geography, which is particularly boring. And the geography teacher doesn't care about attendance, so you can just go." she suggested.
"That's what I was thinking, but I'm worried about seeing other teachers there. If Teacher Yang sees me, I'm finished," Fu Yin said hesitantly.
"It's okay, Teacher Yang likes you so much, she definitely won't be angry with you."
Fu Yin's grades were quite good in the class, especially in mathematics, so Teacher Yang had a very good attitude towards Fu Yin.
In fact, Fu Yin had already made up her mind to skip class, she just wanted some validation.
"Then I'll go. After all, Senior Meng's games are really spectacular, and I don't want to miss them."
