The notion of Lin Guoping, to Lin Yan, seemed further fetched than a fairy tale.
Her biological mother, Li Fen, who wished nothing more than to sever ties with her, would never help her. She'd take a detour even if they crossed paths on the street.
Lin Yan tried to persuade Lin Guoping, "You're overthinking it. I'll definitely be fine. There's nothing wrong with me now; it's just a matter of not agreeing on a price. I'll try to lower it a bit."
She was still very clear-headed. Although compensating with money was inevitable, it didn't mean they could demand an exorbitant amount.
After sending Lin Guoping off in his car, Lin Yan also hailed a taxi.
She needed to go back and discuss this with Lu Chenyuan. She couldn't hide and withhold information as if she were mute.
But Lu Chenyuan was as unreachable as if he had vanished from the world, impossible to find when he was busy.
