Chapter 260: Tinglan, long time no see

lous about food. The nutrition is well-balanced and comprehensive, never cutting corners. When Shuting Lan chose this kindergarten, she prioritized this aspect because her own cooking skills are lacki...Xiaoxin didn't know why Shu lawyer suddenly turned pale, feeling both anger and fear, even a hint of confusion in that moment.

Shu Tinglan stood in the hotel lobby, her mind buzzing.

How much did Zhuo Yu'an know

If he could find Sun YuYue and get close to her, then he should have found out everything about her, and about the child too, right

Shu Tinglan couldn't help trembling. Over the past few years, she had handled too many divorce cases and custody disputes. Once it involved interests and child custody issues, countless cases saw the two parties turn against each other.

And since Zhu Yuyan already knew about the children's existence, she hadn't come looking for her. Was he plotting something After all these years of divorce, Shu Tinglan had no idea what kind of schemes that cunning man would come up with.

If he doesn't want the children, that's fine. If he wants to fight her for custody, what are her chances of winning

At this moment, she stood in the hotel lobby, her mind already having gone through every worst-case scenario.

"Lawyer Shu, are you alright" Xiao Xin was very nervous. He had never seen Lawyer Shu like this before, so disoriented.

Shu Tinglan shook her head, telling herself not to scare herself. Everything was just her imagination. Things weren't that bad; it was all in her head.

"It's fine, let's go. We can come back another day."

"Okay."

As the two were about to walk out, at that moment, two people walked in from the revolving doors of the hotel lobby. Shu Tinglan froze instantly. It turned out to be Zhuo Yu'an and Sun Yueyue. The four almost bumped into each other face-to-face. Shu Tinglan wanted to dodge but couldn't, staring blankly at the two who had entered.

"Shu Jie..." Sun YuYue saw her and was very happy, taking a step forward towards her.

Zhuo Yu's heart skipped a beat. Following Sun Yueyue's gaze, he saw Shu Tinglan standing there. The world seemed to freeze, everyone passing by became a blur in the background. Even though Sun Yueyue was speaking and gesturing, he couldn't hear anything. All he could see was Shu Tinglan before him.

For the past few years, he hadn't even dared to imagine them meeting. Even imagining it felt like a luxury. But now she was standing right in front of him, so unexpectedly. So close. Close enough that he could see himself in the reflection of her glasses, close enough that his heart nearly stopped. He just wanted to run over and hug her, to tell her how much he missed her.

His nails dug into the flesh of his palm, the pain bringing him a slight jolt of awareness. He clenched himself in restraint, forcing himself to appear as usual.

Shu Tinglan had never imagined that she would meet Zhuo Yunan in such a scene. This man, besides losing some weight, seemed to have changed nothing. He was still wearing a well-tailored white shirt and suit pants, mature, stable, with a tall and upright figure, exuding an elite aura. He looked at everyone with a polite and distant demeanor.

She forced herself to calm down, grabbing Sun Yu's arm and pulling him close as if she were fiercely protecting him, though in reality, she was using his strength to support herself.

Sun YuYue and Xiao Xin looked at each other, puzzled. They couldn't understand what was going on, but the tension in the air was palpable despite the silence between the two figures.

Zhu Yu'an was the first to greet.

“Tinglan, it's been a long time.” His voice was tight and hoarse, truly a long time, as if separated by a lifetime.

Shu Tinglan ignored him and directly dragged Sun Yuyou out, putting all her strength into pulling her hand. Her intuition told her to stay away from Zhuo Yuan'an, and not only did she need to stay away, but so should the people around her, like Sun Yuyou.

Just now, looking at Zhuo Yu'an's expression, he probably didn't know about the existence of the two children.

"Shū JieJie, where are you taking me" Sun YuYue, a high school boy, was taller than Shū TíngLán and actually stronger too. With just a little effort, he wouldn't let her pull him along.

"Come with me!" she shouted, her voice rising, at Sun Yueyue.

Lawyer Sun, his wife, and Sun Yueyue all watched her walk away. They understood the children's affairs better than anyone else, and she was worried that Sun Yueyue might have said something inappropriate. Fortunately, it wasn't too late now.

Sun Yueyue was still a high school student, and her temper wasn't small. Her own parents hadn't yelled at her like this before. Now that she had gotten into a stubborn mood, she also shouted back loudly.

“I'm not leaving. I'm staying here to learn from Mr. Zhu. I'm not going anywhere.”

Xiaoxin felt very awkward beside her, today's Lawyer Shu was acting strange.

"Are you leaving or not" Shu Tinglan couldn't help but shout at Sun Yuyou.

Sun Yuyou was, after all, just a high school student. Plus, his parents had always been very respectful to him. He'd never been yelled at in public like this before, so his temper flared immediately.

“Why are you telling me what to do I'm not going.”

Shu Tinglan was stunned. She was really confused and flustered by Zhuo Yu'an's sudden appearance, making it impossible for her to think clearly.

Yes, what right does she have to control Sun YuYue What gives her the authority to tell Sun YuYue what to do Just because they took care of her for three years Just because they are her benefactors So she's taken advantage of the situation and thinks she has the right to order Sun YuYue around

Sun Yuè also spoke impulsively out of anger. Seeing Shu elder sister's dimmed expression, he felt sad too. However, his pride got in the way and he wouldn't speak to ease the tension.

At this time, Zhu Yu'an spoke first.

“Go back with your sister, Shu.”

His words gave everyone a timely way out, his tone calm.

Shu Tinglan led the way, not even glancing at Zhuo Yu'an. Sun Yueyue and Xiaoxin hurried after her.

Xiao Xin kept glancing back, seeing that Mr. Zhuo was just like a wooden statue, standing there motionless and staring in their direction.

All the way, Shu Tinglan's heart was hanging in the balance because Zhuo Yu'an behaved so calmly. His calmness felt as if they had just seen each other yesterday.

There are only two sentences in total.

Tinglan, long time no see!

The calmer he was, the more afraid she became.

"I was a bit too quick to anger just now, I apologize."

Sun Yu quickly waved her hand and said it was nothing.

He was also very irritable just now. In front of his idol, being scolded by Sister Shu, it was really embarrassing.

Shutinglan looked at him. Compared to other kids his age, he was already very mature. She realized she had been too harsh on him. Now, looking back, she felt a pang of guilt. Lawyer Sun and Teacher Shi wouldn't even scold him, so why did she yell at him for no reason and even try to stop him from interning at Zhuoyuan Technology

Having calmed down a little, she asked:

“Why did Zhuo Zong, the CEO of Zhuoyuan Technology, personally take you there”

Sun Yueyue scratched her head, and said a little embarrassedly:

“Shu Jie, actually I was bragging. Director Zhu didn't just take me; he led all of us for this competition. The senior engineers from the tech department said that Director Zhu is now in charge of the research and development department, and he personally selected and trained many new recruits.”

Is that really so So it's really just a coincidence

She askedstudent, the child everyone envied, the role model for all the other children in the courtyard. While Gu Ruandong was the bad kid, the one parents forbade their own children from associating with.Now,...
