Stealing Your Heart Chapter 208

Lin Xinyan was just making sure that Bai Yinning hadn’t been lying.

Cheng Yuxiu’s face went deathly pale again the moment she heard Lin Xinyan’s question. She stared straight at Lin Xinyan, feeling as though she had been dropped into an icy pond that froze her from head to toe.

She knew Bai Hongfei?

“You’re not comfortable talking about it?”

Lin Xinyan noticed that she had hesitations.

Cheng Yuxiu immediately denied it. “No.”

Cheng Yuwen had left her with no other choice.

“How did you end up in trouble?” Cheng Yuxiu asked as she was concerned.

“You don’t have to worry about that, Zong Jinghao managed to settle it for me, and I’m fine now. I just want to know more about you. Did Cheng Yuwen have other motives in getting me to learn tea silk weaving?”

Lin Xinyan felt like there was a huge scheme involving her that she had no idea about.

Cheng Yuxiu closed her eyes and made a quick decision.

It’s not like she could do anything to change the situation anyway.

However, she still feared that it would bring trouble to Lin Xinyan. Her cold and clammy hands clasped Lin Xinyan’s hands. “You’re a good girl.”

Her eyes were red and her voice was trembling. “I can tell you everything, but you need to promise me something.”

Since she was the birth mother of Zong Jinghao, then she would definitely want the best for her son. Now that Lin Xinyan had given her two grandchildren, she would most certainly be fond of Lin Xinyan. After all, she had given the family heirloom to Lin Xinyan, which was a sign that she won’t do any harm no matter what.

Lin Xinyan nodded. “Say it.”

“I need you to keep what I have to tell you to yourself. Don’t tell anyone about it, including Jinghao.”

Lin Xinyan lowered her eyelids. The request didn’t come as a surprise to her. If she didn’t mind Zong Jinghao to know about what she was going to say, then she wouldn’t have gone such lengths to conceal them.

She was just confused as to why she wouldn’t even talk to her own son.

The world was full of pain, birth and death, old age and sickness, love and betrayal. However, none of those would compare to not being able to talk to one’s love ones even if they were standing right before you.

Lin Xinyan felt the urge to ask her what was preventing her from talking to her son.

However, she couldn’t bring herself to do it. She figured that there must be something holding her back.

Lin Xinyan raised her head and answered, “Yes, I promise.”

Cheng Yuxiu didn’t seem relieved, instead looking more troubled than before. She didn’t want to drag Lin Xinyan into this mess, yet things were getting out of her control.

Involving Lin Xinyan would do her no good.

Cheng Yuxiu went silent for a few moments, unable to muster the courage to speak up.
