en stay away from me."Fu Mo held her with an icy gaze, reaching out to pull the woman leaning against the kitchen counter up. He fixed one hand on her lower back, "Lin Jinyan, are you ordering me arou...Lin Jinran turned back, her eyes filled with confusion, and asked, "Who was that"

Zhang Sao shook her head and truthfully said, "She didn't say, just said she was looking for you. Her voice sounded like an accent from outside the province."

Foreign accent

She doesn't seem to recognize people with accents, does she

I can't seem to think of anyone I know right now who has an accent from outside the area.

Lin Jinran stopped guessing and, with her round belly held high, slowly climbed the stairs and returned to the living room.

The phone lay on the coffee table, Lin Jinran walked over and picked it up, politely asking, "Hello."

The earpiece crackled with the cacophony of car horns and bustling chatter, yet there was no reply.

"Hello" Lin Jinran had to ask again.

The chaotic noises lessened, and then a middle-aged woman's loud voice came through the receiver, "Are you Lin Jinran, the young mistress of the Fu family"

The sound was too loud, flooding into Lin Jinran's ears. He instinctively moved the receiver away a few inches, frowned, and asked in bewilderment, "Who are you"

"I'm someone you don't know, I called you just to tell you something." The middle-aged woman said it openly, with the feeling of a friendly neighborhood elder sister.

The middle-aged woman didn't explain why she was calling. She just blurted out, "Let me ask you something first, did your mother fall off the overpass by the nursing home and die"

Lin Jinran was startled, a moment of astonishment flashing across her pale face. Her delicate brows furrowed even tighter.

"Do not answer, instead ask 'Who are you, and why do you ask'"

"Let's just say I was in the vicinity at the time."

Lin Jinran almost instinctively tightened his grip on the phone, his voice becoming more urgent, "What did you see"

"I saw some things, but I can't tell you for free. If you give me five hundred thousand dollars, I'll tell you what I saw." The woman exposed the purpose of her phone call, haggling with a lion's mouth.

Lin Jin instantly understood, a look of disgust flashing across his small face, "How do you know you saw fifty million"

Her mother's accident was no secret.

She also contacted people to help her find proof of the situation at the time, but she couldn't find any.

There's no wall that wind can't blow through. This woman who suddenly appeared could be trying to take advantage of this situation and extort money.

The middle-aged woman's voice did not sound, faintly Lin Jinran heard that the opposite seemed to be discussing something, the voice was too light, she couldn't hear clearly.

Just as I was about to hang up the phone, the middle-aged woman's voice came over again, "How about thirty million"

Lin Jinran let out a wry smile. He was truly too tired to keep up appearances anymore, so he simply said, "I have no money."

"No" The middle-aged woman's voice was clearly unconvinced, muttering loudly, "You're the chairman's wife, how could you not have 300,000 Well, twenty thousand will do too."

Lin Jinran was really out of patience now, "Ma'am, if you continue like this, I will report our conversation to the police."

"Hey, why are you calling the police I'm helping you! Besides, we don't know each other. Why would I just tell you that out of the blue" The middle-aged woman seemed flustered, hurriedly explaining herself. "Listen, I really saw a woman rushing past there at the time."

Lin Jinyan, who was about to hang up the phone with zero interest, suddenly jolted, "What does she look like"in Lin Jinran's eyes just now made his heart extremely uncomfortable.In the corridor, Lin Jinran's figure was gone. Fu Mo'han looked at Xu Rong'hua and ordered, "If you have a headache, go to the doct...
