Chapter 601 They Came to the Door

Chapter 601 They Came to the Door

The more this happened, the more guilty Qin Mo felt.

He desperately wanted Lin Tan to blame him, scold him, and think he was an unreliable and irresponsible scumbag.

"Qin Mo, don't romanticize the path you didn't take," Lin Tan told him. "If we hadn't broken up back then, we might be strangers by now."

Qin Mo: "No."

Lin Tan: "Yes."

Qin Mo didn't understand why she was so certain.

Lin Tan told him, "Young people all have self-esteem, and so do you and me. If I really come to Haicheng to go to university, your mother will definitely stop me again, and my university life will become terrible. I might break up with you because of the pressure."

Qin Mo wanted to say that he would handle it.

During that time, he was busy taking over the Qin Group while also working on a project with the professor.

If that's true.

I'm afraid the outcome will be similar to what Lin Tan predicted.

"It's fine as it is now," Lin Tan said.

“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have suffered so much by Huo Sinian’s side.” Qin Mo felt that he was the one who started everything, “and suffered so much injustice.”

Lin Tan: "Think positively."

Lin Tan said, "At least it tempered my character."

Having put on so many acts in front of Huo Sinian, she can now calmly deal with many things.

Qin Mo asked her, "Is your unwillingness to accept me because of what happened back then?"

“No,” Lin Tan said, “I just feel that we’re not a good match.”

Seeing Qin Mo stirred her emotions.

I'll think of their wonderful chats and everyday moments.

But that's all there is to it.

It's already good enough that someone like her can live a good life. She doesn't want to cause herself any more trouble, doesn't want her life to become a mess again, and doesn't want to hold Qin Mo back.

Thinking about it now.

Although Qin Mo's mother's actions were extreme, what she said was not unreasonable.

Qin Mo is the heir to a wealthy family in Haicheng, but she is just an ordinary person among the masses.

The two individuals are too different in status.

If Qin Mo hadn't gone to their town to recuperate, they would never have had any connection in their lives.

“If possible, I hope you can let go of the past and start anew,” Lin Tan said earnestly. “There is no shortage of outstanding women in wealthy families; you can meet the right one.”

Qin Mo: "I only like you."

Lin Tan asked, "If there were no past, would you like me if you saw me?"

Qin Mo: "Yes."

Lin Tan: "Liar. If you didn't know me, you might not even notice me if I walked past you ten times. How could you say you like me?"

“But it existed in the past,” Qin Mo said.

Knowing she couldn't persuade him, Lin Tan stopped debating and changed the subject, saying with a hint of teasing, "If your company's employees knew that their CEO Qin was so pure-hearted, they would probably be very surprised."

"I don't care what they think," Qin Mo said. "I only care about you."

Lin Tan parted her red lips slightly.

She was about to tell him that she really couldn't give him a future.

Qin Mo said as if he had guessed: "You don't need to respond to me, you don't need to like me, just let me see you and be willing to talk and eat with me."

Lin Tan hesitated for a moment, the words he had spoken that night echoing in her mind:

"I want my feelings to be put into practice. I want to be useful to the girl I like, instead of just saying I like her, care about her, and love her, but doing nothing."

"So that even if you still don't like me someday in the future, at least I won't have any regrets, because I tried my best."

After careful consideration, she agreed: "Okay."

She hoped Qin Mo would give up soon.

I hope he falls for someone else soon.

I hope he finds happiness soon.

I originally wanted to keep my distance from him, but I was afraid he would become withdrawn like before, remaining so for four or five years.

Thinking of this, Lin Tan paused.

She suddenly calculated the time and realized that she and Qin Mo hadn't seen each other for four or five years, but for six or seven.

In a little over a month, it will be exactly seven years.

Seven years...

Time really flies after starting university.

A few buzzing sounds.

Qin Mo's phone rang.

Upon seeing the caller ID, Qin Mo hung up immediately, not intending to answer.

"Go ahead and do what you need to do," Lin Tan said.

Qin Mo: "It's nothing."

It was Mom calling.

They must be looking for trouble with Lin Tan.

Lin Tan: "?"

Lin Tan looked at his expression with some confusion.

Yu Peiyun was furious when Qin Mo didn't answer the phone. She immediately had someone give her Lin Tan's apartment number and went straight upstairs after receiving it.

"It was my mom calling," Qin Mo told her truthfully. "It's nothing serious."

Lin Tan asked, "Why is she suddenly talking about these things? And she let it slip."

Qin Mo didn't want to say it.

But they also knew that this couldn't be kept secret.

“She had someone investigate you and was a little angry when she found out I picked you up at the airport yesterday,” Qin Mo said. “I explained the situation to her, and she accidentally brought up what happened back then.”

Lin Tan thought for a moment and replied, "You should call her back."

Qin Mo: "?"

Lin Tan said, "Since your mother knows that you are still in contact with me, she will most likely check my current address. Given her personality, she might even come to my door to talk to me."

After all, it was she who caused her to break up with Qin Mo.

She would definitely be anxious if she found out that she was in contact with Qin Mo.

"I'll handle it. I won't let her cause you any trouble," Qin Mo promised.

Lin Tan was about to reply.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Lin Tan glanced at it and concluded, "It's probably your mother."

"I'll go." Qin Mo didn't want to cause her any more trouble. He hoped she would just focus on her own things. "No matter what happens later, you don't need to worry about it."

"I'll go," Lin Tan said. "They're all women, so it'll be easier to talk to them."

Qin Mo: "No."

Lin Tan: "Okay."

The words fell.

Lin Tan went over and opened the door.

The first thing that caught my eye was Yu Peiyun, dressed in luxurious clothes, and two bodyguards.

The moment Yu Peiyun saw her, a surge of anger rose in her eyes. Just as she was about to settle scores with her, she suddenly caught sight of Qin Mo walking over out of the corner of her eye.

She frowned: "What are you doing here?"

"That's what I should be asking you." Qin Mo's attitude was distant and lacked emotion. "Why did you come here?"

"I've come to see her." Yu Peiyun didn't hide her intentions and looked directly at Lin Tan, her expression carrying a hint of authority.

Qin Mo: "My affairs are none of your business."

Yu Peiyun's attitude was assertive: "As long as you are my son, I have to care about your affairs."

"Have you forgotten what you promised?" Qin Mo reminded him.

Yu Peiyun certainly hadn't forgotten.

But she couldn't just stand by and watch Qin Mo be with a country girl.

If word gets out, where will they put their faces?

"I will handle Luo Feng's matter properly," Qin Mo said. "I also hope you won't cause trouble for Lin Tan."

Yu Peiyun didn't speak, but simply looked at Lin Tan.

She hadn't expected this woman to be so cunning. She had managed to get Qin Mo to favor her so much without telling him what had happened back then. Now that Qin Mo knew the truth, wouldn't he be even more protective of her?

Thinking about this...

Yu Peiyun's mood worsened.
