Chapter 600 Qin Mo Knows What Happened Back Then

Upon seeing these words, Yu Peiyun's expression immediately turned sour.

What a fine Lin Tan.

She had completely forgotten what she had promised and was even arguing with Qin Mo.

She made a phone call: "Where is she now?"

“Wangjiang Huating.” The other end replied, “After returning yesterday, the eldest young master took her to the third young master’s company. I don’t know if it was to process her employment.”

Yu Peiyun: "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, she got into her car and drove straight to where Lin Tan was.

Considering Qin Mo's personality, she still called him on the way.

"What is it?" Qin Mo's tone was as cold and emotionless as ever.

Yu Peiyun: "Where did you go yesterday?"

Qin Mo paused.

She realized that she might have investigated Lin Tan.

"To Grandpa's." He said casually, and it wasn't a lie; he had indeed taken Lin Tan to see his grandfather.

“You never used to lie.” Yu Peiyun was increasingly disappointed. She never expected her child to turn out like this. “My people clearly found out that you picked up Lin Tan and took her to Qin Jiangye’s place.”

Qin Mo asked, "This is my private matter."

"What do you mean, 'your private matters'?" Yu Peiyun objected to this. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Isn't it just that you want to marry her?"

"She's not interested in the Qin family," Qin Mo said bluntly, "and she doesn't like me either."

Yu Peiyun laughed in exasperation.

As a woman herself, how could she not know Lin Tan's little scheme?

Isn't it just a way to use Qin Mo to transcend social classes?

"You promised before that you wouldn't cause her any trouble or investigate her," Qin Mo brought up the old matter again, "and now what are you doing?"

Yu Peiyun remained silent.

She was in the wrong in this matter.

But she doesn't think there's anything wrong with stopping some people with ulterior motives.

"Since you say she has no feelings for the Qin family or for you, why are you so worried about me contacting her?" she retorted. "Are you afraid I'll find out about your relationship and break you up?"

Qin Mo thought she was being unreasonable.

He put aside his company business and had a car prepared to go to Lin Tan's place.

“I don’t care what you think of her, it’s impossible for you two to be together,” Yu Peiyun said.

Qin Mo didn't understand why she was being so extreme: "We're just friends."

Yu Peiyun: "Do you think I would believe that?"

Qin Mo: "Whatever you say."

"Do you really think I didn't know you two had talked back then?" Yu Peiyun suddenly said, exposing his lie without hesitation. "If I hadn't stopped her in time, she probably would have used tricks to marry into the family long ago."

These words were spoken.

Qin Mo paused.

He repeated those words several times to make sure he hadn't misheard before asking, "How did you know?"

Yu Peiyun paused.

Qin Mo then asked, "What do you mean by 'stopping'?"

Yu Peiyun was stunned.

She listened to her son's questioning through the phone.

A question popped into my head.

Lin Tan didn't tell him?

Then why did he still go to see her? After being so humiliated, how could they possibly reconcile?

"I……"

"When Lin Tan broke up with me, was it you who interfered?" Qin Mo asked.

"What are you saying? What do you mean by interfering?" Yu Peiyun was immediately displeased, but she was still thinking about this matter. "I just don't want your bright future to be ruined by a country girl."

"You were young then, what did you know about love and romance? Who knows if she was..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Qin Mo then hung up.

He instructed the driver to head towards Lin Tan's place.

My heart is churning with a mix of complex and suppressed emotions at this moment.

He said he wondered why Lin Tan broke up with him for no reason, and how this usually gentle girl suddenly became a different person.

I see!

When he arrived at Lin Tan's place, Lin Tan was packing her clothes and luggage. She wanted to get everything organized as quickly as possible so she could go to work with peace of mind.

Lin Tan was somewhat surprised to see him arrive: "Why are you here?"

Qin Mo stood outside the door watching her, the words he was about to say stuck in his throat.

He didn't know how to face her.

Guilt and self-blame.

A mix of emotions churned within me.

If he had realized it in time, would their fate have been different?

"What happened?" Lin Tan noticed his strange mood and asked gently.

Qin Mo moved his lips and squeezed out a few words from his throat: "I know everything."

Lin Tan: "?"

Lin Tan was completely bewildered.

Thinking about recent events, it seemed there was nothing she was hiding from him: "What do you know?"

"I'm sorry." Qin Mo lowered his eyes, not daring to look into her eyes.

He couldn't imagine how she had gotten through it. His mother was always ruthless and would stop at nothing to achieve her goals. Forcing her to break up with him must have meant she had done something extremely outrageous.

"What happened?" Lin Tan's eyes were full of confusion; she had no idea what had happened.

Qin Mo remained silent.

Lin Tan pulled him into the room and closed the door.

After isolating herself from outside affairs, she asked, "You can say anything, don't keep it to yourself."

Qin Mo moved his lips, trying several times but unable to make a sound.

Lin Tan wasn't in a hurry.

Just wait for him.

Time passed second by second.

Just as Lin Tan was about to ask him again, Qin Mo spoke up: "How my mother forced you to break up with me back then."

Lin Tan was taken aback at first, then smiled and asked, "Is it because of this?"

Seeing her like this, Qin Mo felt even more guilty.

"How did you know?" Lin Tan was quite curious about this.

The only people who knew about this were her and Qin Mo's mother.

It doesn't make sense that it was his mother who said that.

"She accidentally let it slip on the phone just now." Qin Mo's voice was soft and muffled, lacking his usual coldness and aloofness, filled only with heartfelt apology. "If I had been more attentive, I might have noticed something was wrong."

"It's not your fault." Lin Tan had never blamed him.

Qin Mo: "That's to blame."

Seeing him like this, Lin Tan knew he was starting to get stuck in a dead end.

Qin Mo felt nothing but contempt for his past self: "Someone as good as you would never break up with me for those worldly reasons. It was my pride that made me lose you."

If they hadn't broken up.

She didn't have to suffer the torment of Huo Sinian.

She will come to Haicheng to attend university, and they will have a very, very good future together.

"According to you, I should blame myself for saying those harsh words to you." Lin Tan felt that Qin Mo seemed more mature, but deep down he was the same as before. "I should have told you that I believed you could handle it."

"It's not your fault." Qin Mo wasn't good at sweet talk; all his words reflected his truest feelings. "It was because I was too weak back then, and my mother was too extreme and went too far."

"Then don't blame yourself." Lin Tan reached out a finger and touched his head.

Qin Mo: "Why?"

Lin Tan: "Hmm?"

Qin Mo: "Why are you so good to me?"

"Because I met a wonderful young man when I was young." Lin Tan's eyes were gentle and warm, and she smiled, hoping that he could come to his senses.
