Yancheng, Lin Yao’s hometown.

In the spacious living room, a man in his fifties and a serious face was sitting on the sofa.

Unlike many people who relax when they get home, or simply lie on the sofa, this man still sits straight even at home, without a trace of curve, like an old pedan, sitting upright like a bell.

He has a handsome appearance. Even when he is old, he can still see his super high appearance when he was young. However, his expression is too serious, which makes people feel awe at first sight and dare not get close to him.

The man just hung up his daughter's phone angrily, and his chest was slightly undulating. He thought for a while, grabbed the landline next to the sofa, and pulled it out for his ex-wife.

"Hello?"

A pleasant magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone, but the volume was deliberately lowered, as if it was afraid of disturbing the family.

"Haiyao, why didn't you stop Lin Yao from falling in love?"

The man asked directly without caring about the other party's concerns.

"Lin Duanzheng, I only found out that Lin Yao was in a relationship two days ago. I asked her to tell you, but she didn't want to, and I couldn't do anything about it."

There were rustling footsteps across from the other side, and it sounded like the other party had walked out of the bedroom and came to a place where it was easier to speak. Her voice became much louder, with grievance and helplessness in her tone.

"Haha, Haiyao, my daughter grew up with me since she was a child. She couldn't tell you about such a big thing first and hide it from me."

Lin Duanzheng sneered and then said:

"Did you encourage your daughter to fall in love? The one with the surname Fang was introduced to her, right?"

"Lao Lin, what do you mean? Why do I introduce my boyfriend to Yaoyao?"

Hai Yao asked back with some dissatisfaction.

"Haiyao, you hope your daughter is like you, so that you won't seem to be wrong back then, right?"

Lin Duanzheng's anger suddenly came up and he directly scolded:

"My daughter is definitely not a woman like you who is unwilling to be lonely. She is from my Lin family and must not embarrass the Lin family. Haiyao, you are not allowed to contact Lin Yao again in the future!"

"Lin Duanzheng!"

Hai Yao on the other end of the phone also became angry and said loudly:

"You are always so self-righteous! Do you know why Lin Yao has always been reluctant to go home, because she doesn't want to be your puppet like she did when she was a child!"

"Haiyao, don't compare my daughter with you. Her character is ten times better than you!"

This was the first time Lin Yao's parents had contacted each other in several years. Two people in their fifties still started arguing in two or three sentences like before. If Lin Yao saw it, she would definitely feel familiar and helpless about this scene.

After more than ten minutes of fighting, the battle reached its climax.

"Anyway, I don't allow you to teach Lin Yao badly again!"

Lin Duanzheng slapped the table with a stern voice.

"You want to teach your daughter, will she pay attention to you?"

Hai Yao sneered without any fear, and replied sarcastically.

"You..." Lin Duanzheng was about to continue to rub his ultimate move when a crisp sound suddenly came from the other end of the phone:

"Mom, who are you quarreling with?"

Hai Yao immediately stopped fighting with Lin Duanzheng, and his voice became gentle and friendly:

"Yes, why don't you sleep yet? You have to go to school tomorrow."

"Mom, I just fell asleep and was woken up by you."

The girl's voice is sweet, with a coquettish meaning:

"I want you to sleep with me."

"Okay, go to bed first, mom will come over later."

Hai Yao finally coaxed her daughter away, then turned around and continued to say to Lin Duanzheng on the other end of the phone:

"Lao Lin, I don't want to argue with you anymore. I will send you a pair of people to school tomorrow morning. I advise you not to force yourself to interfere with Yaoyao's affairs. My daughter has grown up."

Lin Duanzheng snorted coldly: "I am different from you. I will not forget my biological daughter if I have a stepdaughter. I will go to Kyoto next week to bring Lin Yao back."

"Lao Lin, you..."

Hai Yao was about to persuade him, but Lin Duanzheng had already hung up the phone.

She was silent for a moment, and finally she could only sigh helplessly.

"After so many years, this person has not changed..."

She thought for a while and found Lin Yao's phone number. She was about to call when her little daughter's voice came from behind:

"Mom, do you want to find your sister, don't you want me anymore?"

Hai Yao turned around and saw the little girl's youthful face with a little worry and gloom. She immediately held her stepdaughter's hand with heartache and said softly:

"Yes, you are my mother's daughter. My mother will be with you all her life, but..."

She observed the expression of her daughter who was in her rebellious period of youth and whispered:

"My sister is also my mother's daughter. My mother hopes that both of my daughters will live happily."

"Yeah, did mom just want to call her sister and go to find her, but don't want me anymore?"

A second-year junior high school girl named "Ye Yes", hugged Hai Yao's arm, her eyes were swaying and pitiful.

"Mom doesn't have it, mom doesn't go anywhere."

Hai Yao completely softened her heart and hugged her little daughter tightly.

"Really? Mom didn't lie to me?"

Twilight had wide round eyes, and tears were still hanging on his face.

"Mom promises that I will never leave you. Let's go, let's go to bed."

"Yeah, OK!"

The little girl burst into tears and laughed, and hid into her stepmother's arms in attachment. The mother and daughter walked towards the bedroom together.

Under the slightly dim corridor lights, the girl who was rushing into Haiyao's arms raised a cunning curve on her mouth, and a sneer of a successful plan appeared on her face.

"Sorry, my sister I have never met before. This is my mother. You will never be able to take it away in your life."

......

At the same time, after hanging up the phone number of Lin Duanzheng's ex-wife at home, he immediately called himself a student in Kyoto.

"Hello, teacher."

A respectful voice came from the opposite side. Although Lin Duanzheng was in trouble in marriage and parent-child relationship, he was indeed an expert in academics and was highly respected by students.

"He Mian, please book a flight ticket to Kyoto next week. I will give you the money after I arrive in Kyoto."

Lin Duanzheng told his students that he is a very old-fashioned person and he doesn't even want to use WeChat, let alone online ticket booking.

"Teacher, are you coming to Kyoto?! I will definitely treat you well. What week do you plan to arrive?"

The man named He Mian was quite surprised and asked quickly.

"Thursday, I'm sorry, thank you."

Lin Duanzheng thought for a while and said to He Mian.

"Teacher, don't say that, I'll book the ticket right away!"

"Um."

After finishing the call with the student, it was already dark. Lin Duanzheng looked slightly tired on his face, but he still sat straight and his posture did not change at all.

He looked up at the ceiling, and after a moment of silence, he muttered to himself in a determined voice:

"This time I must bring this unworthy woman back."
