Stealing Your Heart

Zong Jinghao nodded, his strong jawline tensed, and he softly said, “Tell me.”

“Eight years ago, Lin Guoan and Zhuang Zijin divorced. He sent the mother and daughter to Country A. They never returned until recently, when Lin Guoan brought them back.”

Zong Jinghao frowned. So was that why she knew how to speak Country A’s language? It was because she once lived there?

“That’s all?” Evidently, these would not satisfy him.

Guan Jing hesitated, and continued, “After Zhuang Zijin was sent to Country A, she gave birth to a boy who was autistic. They lived a difficult life there. Before they came back here, the boy died from a car accident.”

Zong Jinghao frowned, and the look on his face became more serious. So the last time he saw the sadness in her eyes, it was because of her brother?”

The baby in her… “Nothing else? No other men in her life?”

“No. Just a psychiatrist who was close to her.” Guan Jing looked at the information the investigators sent him. “No one else. She never had a relationship in school, and no boys or men were close to her.”

This meant that it was likely that the baby in her was the psychiatrist’s.

The reason she was brought back by Lin Guoan was because of their engagement.

And as to why she loved money was because she had a difficult life in Country A. That’s why she worked as a translator for him, and also worked in a restaurant.

Now that he thought about this, Lin Xinyan’s actions were no longer a mystery to him.

And he now understood what He Ruize’s words meant.

He felt conflicted. He turned around and looked at the hospital for another time, before walking down the stairs, and leaving the hospital in his car.

In the hospital.

Lin Xinyan had not had lunch, and now she was hungry.

“Mom, I want to eat Eight-Treasure Rice.” Lin Xinyan had the sudden urge for sweet food.

Zhuang Zijin had been through pregnancy. She knew that pregnant women had cravings and were picky with their food.

The old saying was that sour cravings were for baby boys and spicy cravings were for baby girls. Will she be having a granddaughter or a grandson?

“I’ll make it at home.” Zhuang Zijin stood up, but she was worried that no one would take care of her daughter in hospital.

Lin Xinyan seemed to know what her mother was thinking about. She said while smiling, “I’m fine. The doctor just said to rest.”

If it was not worrying about her baby, she would not even be in the hospital.

Zhuang Zijin nodded and reminded her to rest well before leaving the room.

As Zhuang Zijin walked into the district, she was suddenly stopped by a few women.
