Chapter 602 Lin Tan's Calm and Composed Mind

"You go out first, I want to talk to Madam Yu alone," Lin Tan said to Qin Mo, her eyes gentle.

Qin Mo didn't want to leave.

He knew what kind of personality his mother had.

If she could get Lin Tan to break up with him behind his back back then, who knows what she might do now?

It threatens her career.

They threatened her family.

She would use the same methods as Huo Sinian.

“You’re doing nothing but adding fuel to the fire.” Lin Tan knew Qin Mo’s temperament and tried to talk to him calmly. “Give me some time. If I still can’t resolve this, then you can come back.”

Seeing her say that, Qin Mo had no choice but to agree: "Okay."

Lin Tan turned her gaze to Yu Peiyun and stepped aside to create some distance: "Madam Yu, please."

Yu Peiyun was very angry.

She never expected her son to be so obedient to a woman. If things are like this now, what will happen after they get married? Won't he kick her and his father out?

Despite her anger, she still went inside with her bodyguards, her face stern.

Seeing this, Qin Mo frowned slightly, still unable to let go of the matter.

Lin Tan gave him a reassuring look and then closed the door.

In the living room, Yu Peiyun sat on the sofa, her eyes filled with disdain and disgust as she looked at Lin Tan.

"I just moved here today and haven't bought any tea or coffee yet." Lin Tan placed a glass of water in front of Yu Peiyun, politely and courteously. "I can only offer you some plain water."

“This is my son’s house, what are you doing here pretending to be the owner?” Yu Peiyun blurted out.

She had someone check before she came.

It turned out that the property was indeed under Qin Mo's name.

"It did belong to Qin Mo before today, but now I am the tenant here, and I am the owner of this place during the time I have rented it," Lin Tan said calmly.

Yu Peiyun was about to get angry again.

Lin Tan then handed her a contract: "This is the contract we signed this morning. However, considering that we've known each other for a while, Qin Mo didn't charge me a deposit and even gave me a 50% discount."

The words fell.

Lin Tan then pulled up her spending records: "This is the one-year rent I transferred to him this morning."

Yu Peiyun: "?"

Yu Peiyun stared at the two items, her brows furrowed in a knot.

It seems they didn't expect Qin Mo to actually rent out the house?

He earned back that little bit of rent in just a few minutes, didn't he?

“I know what you’re worried about,” Lin Tan said. “I have no intention of dating Qin Mo. I know very well that someone like me, born into an ordinary family, can’t cross the threshold of your family.”

"Then why are you still bothering him?" Yu Peiyun stared at her.

"To be precise, Qin Mo contacted me first," Lin Tan truthfully stated. "Since breaking up with him, I haven't contacted him or looked for him. I've completely treated him as a passerby."

Yu Peiyun wanted to refute.

The available data does indeed show this.

Lin Tan has always behaved properly and has not overstepped any boundaries over the years.

"Since you only see him as a passerby, what are you doing staying here?" Yu Peiyun's mood gradually calmed down with her words. "Wouldn't it be better to break up sooner?"

“I refused, but Qin Mo insisted,” Lin Tan said, laying it all out.

Yu Peiyun sneered, her gaze changing again: "I've seen this kind of tactic many times before. You pretend to be a pure and innocent girl who doesn't rely on men, but you actually want to use this method to make Qin Mo notice your specialness."

If she hadn't been so knowledgeable, she would have been fooled.

This woman's methods are truly extraordinary.

“I won’t argue with that, my behavior does make it easy for you to think that way,” Lin Tan said calmly. “But I still want to explain my behavior.”

Yu Peiyun: "Go ahead."

She wanted to see what kind of flower she could name.

Lin Tan met her gaze without flinching: "You should be able to tell that Qin Mo likes me now."

“I have plenty of ways to keep you two apart,” Yu Peiyun said.

“But if you do that, it will easily exacerbate the conflict between you and your son.” Lin Tan remained calm throughout. “It’s not worth it to affect your relationship for the sake of an outsider like me.”

A simple sentence stirred up some waves in Yu Peiyun's heart.

This was an angle she had never considered before.

She broke up with Qin Mo behind his back, and since he didn't know, nothing happened. However, he spent most of his time growing up with his grandfather and had little time to spend with them, so the bond between mother and son wasn't strong.

If she were to forcefully obstruct it now, it would indeed worsen the already strained relationship.

“Although Qin Mo is the president of the Qin Group, he is still just one person,” Lin Tan said. “If you try to stop him, it will only strengthen his determination to be with me.”

Yu Peiyun gained a little more knowledge about Lin Tan.

“Some people give up when they encounter difficulties, but Qin Mo is definitely not that kind of person.” Lin Tan looked at her. “Your obstruction will be seen as a challenge by him. The achievement after overcoming numerous difficulties will make him feel more accomplished. You should not deny that.”

Yu Peiyun remained silent.

But we have to admit that what Lin Tan said is true.

Qin Mo is indeed that kind of person.

From childhood to adulthood, he has never been afraid of difficulties; no matter what, he will find a way to solve them.

If she tries to stop him, it won't change Qin Mo's mind; it will only make him dislike her even more.

"You mean you want me to just watch you two get together?" Yu Peiyun looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.

"How do you think I compare to those rich young ladies in your circle?" Lin Tan asked.

“Of course it’s far inferior.” Yu Peiyun blurted out without thinking.

Lin Tan then asked, "Then why do you think Qin Mo would be interested in me?"

Yu Peiyun paused, her words caught in her throat, and a sense of doubt crept over her.

Qin Mo is very picky. Over the years, they have introduced him to potential partners, but none of them have interested him. He only goes to blind dates to go through the motions.

After several times, I even told them to stop making the arrangements.

“How would I know what methods you used?” Yu Peiyun asked.

“That’s Qin Mo, the president of the Qin Group, the heir you all have high hopes for.” Lin Tan was very good at talking to people. “What kind of tricks could he not see through?”

Yu Peiyun was asked the question, so much so that she blurted out, "What do you want to say?"

“What made him still like me wasn’t the methods he used, nor how outstanding I am as a person,” Lin Tan said rather coldly, but it was the best solution. “It was his own thoughts.”

"He was obsessed with the idea of ​​being dumped for no reason back then."

"The more you try to stop him, the more he'll feel that he likes it."

"If you leave it alone, he will get bored after a while and give up."

These words made Qin Mo sound very unpleasant.

But for the sake of peace for both of them, she knew Qin Mo was sincere, and after what had happened before, she knew that he really liked her, but she couldn't reciprocate his feelings.

Making a living is tiring enough.

She didn't want to deal with complicated interpersonal relationships on top of her work.

The only thing she could do for him was to follow his wishes and not push him away. After waiting for him to like her for a while without any results or progress, and realizing that she really couldn't win him over, she gave up.
