This time, when Lin Zhipei appeared, she did not fail to recognize her child as she had before when she had an attack. Upon seeing Lin Zhipei, she held her hand tightly and looked at her for a long time.
Lin Zhipei has loved coming to the sanatorium to chat with Qin Suzhen since she was a child, and her habit has not changed over the years.
When Qin Suzhen wasn't having an attack, she was always very quiet. At this moment, she was sitting in the garden of the sanatorium, listening quietly to Lin Zhipei speak.
Lin Zhipeng nestled close to Qin Suzhen and said, "Mom, I'm planning to drop out of school and go back to China instead of studying abroad."
Qin Suzhen remained motionless and unresponsive. Lin Zhipeng, having anticipated this, was not surprised by her reaction. Lin Zhipeng continued, "I want to go back to China and stay by your side. How about I come to see you every day from now on?"
Lin Leyao kept talking to herself, while Qin Suzhen remained silent, simply holding Lin Zhipei's hand and stroking it gently.
After a long while, Lin Zhipei left the sanatorium. After her daughter left, Qin Suzhen stared blankly at the magnolia tree opposite for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.
Just then, Qin Suzhen's caregiver said, "Sister Suzhen, a guest has arrived."
The visiting guest had already appeared before them. Upon seeing this girl who didn't look very old, Qin Suzhen's usually expressionless face showed a hint of surprise.
The girl opposite me smiled sweetly and called out, "Aunt Qin, hello! I'm Zhi Pei's good friend."

Lin Leyao and Xin Ying have been living a very happy life recently, but there are always people who are so angry at their happy appearance.
Since Dai Jiaozhi's unsuccessful visit, she has not appeared at the hospital again.
Since the other party wasn't coming, Lin Leyao and Xin Ying were happy to have some peace and quiet.
That day, after Xin Hailan returned to S City from Yunnan with Dai Jiaozhi, she was absent-minded. After learning that her father was ill, all the thoughts that had been piling up in her mind suddenly disappeared. Now she just wanted to go back to Australia.
However, Dai Jiaozhi persuaded Xin Hailan to stay calm.
After hearing Xin Ying's firm refusal, Xin Hailan had given up hope of her father returning to China, but Dai Jiaozhi was not like that; she would not allow her granddaughter to give up so easily.
Dai Jiaozhi assured Xin Hailan that she would definitely be able to get her family back to China to settle down soon, and would fulfill her father's dream.
Xin Hailan, who originally wanted to return to Australia immediately, hesitated again. If she could stay a little longer, she could wait for her father to return to China. That would be such a wonderful thing!
After much deliberation, Xin Hailan decided to follow Dai Jiaozhi's arrangements. One was for her own son, and the other was for her own father; they were both working for the same person and the same goal.
Time passed slowly, and finally the day arrived when Xin Ying could be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate.
Even a broken bone takes a hundred days to heal, let alone Xin Ying's internal injuries, which require even more rest.
On the day she returned home, Lin Leyao's leg had fully recovered and she could walk and run without any problems. However, the doctor reminded her that the injured area on her leg might hurt on rainy days in the future.
Repaired items are never as good as the originals, and Lin Leyao was prepared for that. She accepted the side effects mentioned by the hospital without any concern.
More than two months have passed since the incident and its public announcement. During this time, news about the two has flooded the internet, and many media outlets have tried to interview them, but they have all declined.
Since going public, the two seem to have disappeared from the internet without a trace.
Netizens were obsessed with them, and media reporters were also eager to dig deep into all sorts of gossip, but Lin Leyao and Xin Ying were so engrossed in their own lives that they completely ignored them.
They stayed in their own world undisturbed, while Xin Si Nan, who was in the entertainment industry, suffered greatly. As the boss of a large entertainment company, she seemed to have become the public relations officer for her two younger sisters, busy dealing with the media every day.
Because the hospital where the two were staying was highly private, paparazzi were kept out of the hospital gates and could not get any photos of Lin Leyao and Xin Ying.
However, the more they suppressed their anger, the more frantic they became. Even after two months of not being able to photograph Lin Leyao and Xin Ying, the paparazzi outside showed no signs of discouragement and kept watch outside the hospital 24 hours a day.
On the day Lin Leyao and Xin Ying were discharged from the hospital, they rode in Xin Sinan's car and left the hospital openly under the watchful eyes of reporters' various high-definition cameras.
Once outside the hospital, Xin Ying felt as if she had been liberated, and she wandered around aimlessly.
After entering the villa area, Xin Ying got out of the car and insisted on walking home with a limp.
Having spent so much time in the hospital, Xin Ying felt that everything around her was so familiar. She would occasionally touch the bushes in the green belt, the little flowers by the roadside, and the grasshoppers in the grass.
This time, Lin Leyao didn't restrain her, but stood beside her and walked home slowly together.
As she walked, her legs started to ache, and Xin Ying hissed in pain. She wondered if the pain was from overusing her legs, and she glanced guiltily at Lin Leyao beside her.
This time, Lin Leyao was not angry at Xin Ying for not taking care of her body. Instead, Lin Leyao reached out and supported Xin Ying, saying, "If it hurts, help me. Don't put weight on your injured leg."
Xin Ying was very surprised and looked at Lin Leyao's face suspiciously, trying to discern her expression: "Why aren't you blaming me this time?"
“I’ve asked the doctor, and you can walk now, but you can’t overdo it each day. Besides, you’ve been holding it in for over two months. If I don’t let you get out of bed, you’ll go crazy!”
After hearing Lin Leyao's words, Xin Ying smiled and said, "Wife, you still care about me the most."
As she spoke, Xin Ying gave Lin Leyao a deep kiss on the cheek.
Lin Leyao quickly steadied her and instructed, "Don't move around, walk slowly, just like taking a stroll."
Xin Ying looked at Lin Leyao and obediently replied, "Okay."
However, just two seconds after she finished speaking, Xin Ying's expression changed instantly.
Xin Ying accidentally kicked a cement flower bed in the green belt next to her, and the loud "bang" startled Lin Leyao.
Xin Ying's face turned deathly pale instantly, and Lin Leyao quickly squatted down to check Xin Ying's legs.
Xin Ying still has a metal plate in her leg, and it's impossible to tell from the outside whether her leg is injured. After the examination, Lin Leyao immediately decided, "Let's go back to the hospital for a check-up."
“No need,” Xin Ying said, pulling Lin Leyao back. “It was a foot that was kicked, not a leg. The steel plate inside is fine.”
Lin Leyao refused outright: "No, just in case."
Xin Ying bent over, stubbornly refusing to go back to the hospital.
We finally got out of the hospital, who wants to go back!
But Lin Leyao was determined to leave. Seeing that Xin Ying was unwilling to move, Lin Leyao bent down and picked Xin Ying up in her arms.
When Xin Ying was carried in a princess carry for the first time, she was so shocked that her mouth dropped open.
Xin Ying's face flushed red: "Why are you holding me? Put me down right now!"
"Why can't I hug you? I have no choice but to hug you if you're naughty."
Xin Ying's ears turned bright red, and she lowered her head and whispered, "What if someone sees us on the street?"
After Xin Ying repeatedly assured Lin Leyao that she would go to the hospital to check her leg, Lin Leyao finally put Xin Ying down.
The two walked home to the garage to get their car. Along the way, Xin Ying helped Lin Leyao walk while thinking to herself, "I really need to take good care of my health in the future. It's not a good thing that my wife is stronger than me."
After returning to the hospital to have their legs checked, the two went back to their long-missed home. The renovated yard had regained its lush greenery after so long, and the previously droopy flowers, plants and trees had perked up, as if welcoming the two reborn owners home.
Unbeknownst to the two, who had been away from the internet for many days, they had once again become a trending topic after their previous mudslide accident and public announcement of their relationship.
An unknown paparazzi posted recent photos of Lin Leyao and Xin Ying on Weibo.
There is only one photo, which is of Lin Leyao carrying Xin Ying in her arms.
In the photo, Lin Leyao is carrying Xin Ying and walking forward with great momentum, while Xin Ying looks extremely shy leaning against her.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this photo.
"Did I ship the wrong people?"
"What's this? Why does my husband look so shy? Has my husband turned into my wife?"
"Help! The melon has turned into a flower!"
"I always thought Lin Leyao was the bottom one, but it turns out she's the top one. What should I do? I think I've fallen in love with her."
Holy crap!
The photos quickly went viral and were widely shared by influential figures, sparking heated discussions about the couple's on-screen chemistry.
Lin Leyao's fans, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to have been injected with adrenaline today, covering their mouths and chuckling in various corners of the internet.
"My baby is so amazing, he can actually outmaneuver the CEO."
"Even Xin Ying, with her strong presence, was overshadowed by my daughter. My daughter is amazing!"
"My beautiful daughter is someone else's husband!"
While netizens were discussing it heatedly, Xin Si Nan saw this photo and the content of the discussion, and posted a "?".
The comments under the Weibo post are all asking about Lin Leyao and Xin Ying's romantic relationships.
Xin Si Nan stared at the photograph for a long time, falling into deep self-doubt.
Was what he saw before just an illusion, and his sister was actually someone else's wife?
Xin Si Nan was so curious about this that she scratched her head, but she couldn't possibly ask her sister herself, so she deleted the Weibo post as if nothing had happened.
However, his act of deleting his Weibo posts seems to confirm Xin Ying's true nature.
Xin Ying, who had a good night's sleep after returning home, never expected that something so challenging to her dignity would happen while she was sleeping.
She had just gotten up in the morning when she saw the message Xu Hong had sent in the middle of the night.
"So you're that kind of person..."
?
Which one?
Xin Ying browsed through Weibo and finally found out what had happened. She was both angry and amused. The person involved had no need or way to deny such a thing. Was she supposed to shout her gender on Weibo to the whole country? That would be too embarrassing.
Xin Ying edited the text and replied to Xu Hong: "Don't dream, I'm not your type."
Xu Hong spat out a mouthful of saliva: "Tui!"

Chapter 121
Xin Guangjin oversaw the entire wedding preparation process, and everything was finalized in less than a month.
Originally, Xin Ying had planned to hold the wedding in Finland, but her health was no longer suitable for long-haul flights. Therefore, the wedding location was ultimately set for a beautiful island in Southeast Asia.
According to Lin Leyao and Xin Ying's wishes, no business partners were invited to the wedding; instead, relatives from both the Xin and Ji families and close friends of the two elders were invited.
The wedding invitations were mailed out one by one, and Lin Leyao took one of the invitations and went to the sanatorium in person.
