Stealing Your Heart Chapter 49

When the car window was wound down, Lin Xinyan saw the Madam’s appearance, which was as elegant and noble as ever. She was He Ruize’s mother.

Why does she want to see me?

Lin Xinyan tried to get some information from the driver. “Why does Madam want to see me?”

The driver shook his head. “I have no idea about this. I’m just told to invite you over.”

He Ruize was good to her, so she should agree to it regardless of the reasons. She then said, “Let’s go.”

Walking up to the car, Lin Xinyan greeted her politely, “Hello.”

Sitting inside the car, Xia Zhenyu smiled gracefully. “Are you free now, Miss Lin? There’s a cafe not far away. Shall we go there?”

Lin Xinyan nodded her head after hesitating for a second.

“Come into the car.”

The driver came and opened the door for her, while she bent over and got in the car.

Soon, the car stopped in front of the cafe.

Lin Xinyan followed Xia Zhenyu into the cafe.

Xia Zhenyu chose a relatively quiet place to sit down, whereas Lin Xinyan sat across from her. The waiter walked up to them and asked, “Excuse me; what would you like to order?”

Putting her bag on the sofa next to her, Xia Zhenyu looked at Lin Xinyan and asked, “What would you like to drink?”

“Just give me a glass of water,” Lin Xinyan replied calmly.

“Another one for me too. We’ll call you if needed.”

“Okay.”

The waiter left, and silence followed.

Lin Xinyan sat quietly, waiting for Xia Zhenyu to speak.

She suddenly came to me. Maybe it isn’t just for coffee, or is it?

Xia Zhenyu took a sip of water, and when she put down the glass, she said, “How did you meet Ruize?”

“My brother was ill, and he was his doctor. We become friends after some time,” Lin Xinyan answered frankly.

“I see. How long have you been together?” When she was speaking, she sized her up. “I think you’re very young. Is Ruize your first love?”

Lin Xinyan was baffled by her questions. Did she think that I’m in a relationship with Ruize?

Lin Xinyan suddenly remembered that on the day of the banquet, He Ruize introduced her to others as his girlfriend, so she asked her those questions.

Lin Xinyan was about to explain when Xia Zhenyu spoke again, “I don’t want you to be together.”

She looked serious. “I hope his wife has a family background that is socially well-matched. I heard that a lot of things have happened to your family now.”

Lin Xinyan pursed her lips tightly, finally understanding her motive of seeing her.

“Given the current situation of your family, it’s even harder for me to accept you. You will understand, right?” Xia Zhenyu softened her tone, took out a card from her bag, and slid it on the table toward Lin Xinyan. “There’s some money here. Although it can’t help you through the hardships that your family is facing, at least it’s enough to sustain your life.”

Lin Xinyan pushed the card back to her, smiling. “Auntie, I’m not handicapped, how can I take your money?”

Is she trying to get rid of me with money?

She smiled bitterly in her heart. She was sent away by Lin Guoan at the age of ten, was only able to come back because Zong Jinghao became ‘lame’.

She had never enjoyed the privileges given by the Lins, and yet now she had to bear the impact of the fall of the Lins.

“I understand what you meant. I won’t be with him. I always see him as a big brother. If it’s okay, I’ll leave first. I still have to work.” Then, she rose to her feet.

“Wait a minute.” Xia Zhenyu stopped her. She had thought of a lot of words to say, but those words were only for when Lin Xinyan refuses to leave him. Yet now, she agreed to her so easily, which made her look mean instead.
