Chapter 911 Concealment

"It seems his eyes are better now; we don't need to urge him to go see an ophthalmologist," Madam Jun joked.

Lin Tan didn't reply.

She did not believe that Xie Yi was not hostile towards her.

From the moment he warned her, she knew this man was not someone to be approached.

"I heard from Song Zhi that your film will take several more months to finish filming?" Madam Jun asked.

"Senior Song Zhi will be filming for a few more months. My role isn't that big, so I'll only need to film for another month at most," Lin Tan said.

"Then come to my house after you're done filming." Mrs. Jun liked her very much. "Let's go shopping together."

Lin Tan smiled slightly: "Okay."

The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up.

Although their conversation was casual, Lin Tan felt an unprecedented sense of peace. She even felt a unique sense of security and warmth, a feeling similar to the kinship she had imagined.

Just as I was about to wash up and go to bed, Qin Mo sent me a message.

Qin Mo: "Are you busy?"

Lin Tan made the call directly.

The other party answered immediately.

"I was just on the phone with Aunt Jun. She asked Xie Yi to bring me some food," Lin Tan said, sharing her daily life with him.

Qin Mo was somewhat surprised: "Xie Yi?"

Lin Tan: "Mm."

Qin Mo thought about the bar and found it all very strange.

He knew Xie Yi had gone home, but he had actually traveled so far to Lin Tan's place in such a short time.

"Is there something you need on your call?" Lin Tan asked.

"I want to tell you that if Huo Sinian uses information about your biological parents to threaten you or make you do anything, don't agree." Qin Mo told her everything. "I'm currently investigating along the leads."

Lin Tan was taken aback.

She realized something: "A new development?"

"Today I learned that he's been investigating people who immigrated from Haicheng to other places more than 20 years ago overseas," Qin Mo told me. "In addition, he's investigated all the hospitals in Haicheng."

"Haicheng?" Lin Tan was confused. "Didn't Lin Jiancheng say I was found next to a trash can in Jinhuai Town, Beicheng?"

Born in Haicheng Hospital, but abandoned in Jinhuai Town in the north of the city.

It looks really strange.

"The specific reason is still under investigation," Qin Mo calmly informed him. "I'll let you know when I have any news."

Lin Tan: "Okay."

Qin Mo: "Also..."

Qin Mo hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Lin Tan pressed, "What's wrong?"

"Are you free the day after tomorrow, Saturday?" Qin Mo asked.

"I have three scenes to shoot the day after tomorrow." Lin Tan was very clear about her daily schedule. "Do you have any plans?"

Qin Mo: "No."

Lin Tan: "Really not?"

Qin Mo: "Yeah, I was just asking."

Lin Tan was a little puzzled, but since he didn't want to talk about it, she didn't ask any further questions.

Unexpectedly, after hanging up the phone, I received a message from Qin Luofeng on my phone.

Qin Luofeng: [Sister-in-law, it's Mom's birthday on Saturday, are you free?]

Lin Tan: [It's not certain yet. I'll talk to the director tomorrow to see if we can coordinate a time.]

Qin Luofeng: [Okay.]

Chat ended.

Lin Tan looked at her phone with a somewhat confused expression.

Qin Mo was good to her, she knew that, and she also knew that he didn't tell her because he didn't want to delay her work because of this. But from her perspective, this behavior was not so good.

Sometimes she didn't even know if Qin Mo's "protection" was right or wrong.

Amidst a jumble of thoughts, Lin Tan washed up and went to bed.

The next day, after arriving at the film set, she discussed with the director about taking a day off. She hadn't taken a single day off since the last film, and she was always very dedicated to her work. Therefore, her request was quickly agreed to.

Saturday arrived in the blink of an eye.

Lin Tan bought some things early in the morning and went to Yu Peiyun's house.

When she arrived, Qin Mo wasn't there; only Qin Luofeng was.

"Sister-in-law?" Qin Luofeng looked at him in surprise. "Didn't my brother say you were busy today and only free in the evening?"

Lin Tan: "?"

Lin Tan took out her phone and glanced at it.

The last message she sent Qin Mo was: "I'm going to Mom's to celebrate her birthday. Come over as soon as you're done with your work."

Two hours have passed since she sent the message, and Qin Mo still hasn't replied.

"He had something to do, so I got leave," Lin Tan explained gently, subtly covering for Qin Mo. "He'll come over when he's done."

Qin Luofeng: "I see."

Lin Tan hummed in agreement.

Yu Peiyun, who was chatting with her friend in the garden, didn't say much after hearing these words. Although she, as Qin Mo's mother, didn't know Qin Mo's character very well, she was certain that things were definitely not as they had just said.

"Peiyun, is that Qin Mo's wife over there?"

"She's quite good-looking, but she doesn't seem to have much presence."

"I heard he's an actor."

"What's wrong with you? How could you let an actress become the matriarch of the Qin family?" someone complained. "I remember you were vehemently against it before."

"Do you need us to make things difficult for her and make her back down?" someone asked.

“She is my Qin family’s daughter-in-law, and also the current matriarch of the Qin family.” Yu Peiyun said with a serious expression and an aura of authority. “Even though they haven’t held a public wedding yet, they are still recognized by my Qin family.”

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

I didn't expect her to say something like that.

“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear any of that,” Yu Peiyun said. “Anyone who goesssips like that in the future will be slapping the Qin family in the face.”

After saying that, he ignored everyone's reaction and walked towards Lin Tan's direction.

Upon seeing her arrive, Lin Tan greeted her warmly, "Mom."

Yu Peiyun: "Let's go inside and talk."

Lin Tan followed her inside.

We went upstairs.

Yu Peiyun frowned as she looked at her empty wrist: "Where's the bracelet I gave you? Why aren't you wearing it?"

"I'll be more careful next time." Lin Tan didn't argue and directly admitted her mistake.

Although there weren't many guests today, and most of them were Madam Yu's friends and relatives, she, as the daughter-in-law, should still act "respectably."

I was just in such a rush to get here from the film set that I didn't pay much attention.

"And this outfit of yours is really something." Although Yu Peiyun had admitted to their affair, she was particularly concerned about appearances, as they represented one's reputation. "Qin Mo didn't buy you any?"

"I bought it," Lin Tan said frankly. "It's at his place. I came directly from the film set today and didn't have time to go and change it."

Yu Peiyun stared at her for a while.

Lin Tan remained calm.

"Didn't Qin Mo tell you that there were other guests besides our family today?" Yu Peiyun asked directly, her eyes sharp.

“He might have said it,” Lin Tan said, trying to find an excuse, not wanting her relationship with her son to deteriorate. “But I didn’t pay much attention. It was quite noisy on set when I called, so I didn’t hear it clearly.”

Yu Peiyun bluntly stated, "You are not that kind of person."

Lin Tan was taken aback.

Yu Peiyun sat down next to him: "From the day you got your marriage certificate, I roughly knew what kind of person you were. If you really didn't hear him clearly, you would have hung up the phone and sent a message to ask him, instead of not caring about anything."

Lin Tan pursed her lips.

I didn't expect it to be exposed.

"He probably didn't even tell you what day it is today, did he?" Yu Peiyun frowned slightly.

Based on their last meeting, she could tell that Lin Tan was a meticulous person.

If she had known it was her birthday and that there would be guests, she wouldn't have come so hastily.

This is very unlike her usual style.
