Chapter 19 – The most important thing was that the public’s opinion of Lin Yiyi was already at the bottom and couldn’t get any worse (1)
Most people that knew of Lin Yiyi’s existence found her annoying and dislikeable.
It was surprising that such a dislikeable woman would have a son that had such fate with popularity.
A pure, attractive teenager, who hadn’t been immersed in society’s depravity and complexity, was bound to evoke an youthful, unblemished, beautiful feeling.
It wasn’t surprising that he would be so popular with girls…
It wasn’t just the girls at his school, even the female netizens couldn’t help but like him a lot too.
His mother was his mother, and he was himself. How could they confuse one thing with another?
The netizens adopted a lighthearted perspective and came to a tacit understanding to not write anything about his parents on Meng Yuran’s Weibo.
Everyone liked beautiful things. No one would want to destroy such simplicity and purity.
Besides, he was just a child. Why talk about the messy affairs of adults and make him feel upset and sad?
For the time being, Lin Yiyi wasn’t aware of this incident yet.
***
After picking up her children from school, Lin Yiyi was currently busy cooking.
Only two days had passed, but Meng Yuran and Meng Shanshan were already used to her cooking three meals a day for them.
Their home was a villa, and the Nordic style kitchen was spacious and bright. The kitchen had the best brands of kitchen utensils and tools, which made Lin Yiyi, who loved to cook, very happy.
Since she had seizing the kitchen yesterday, the kitchen could be considered her territory. Even Little Chen, who had already been hired to cook their meals, had been ushered out to water the vegetation in the front and back gardens.
At this moment, the stewing pork ribs were bubbling away with hot steam spiraling upwards.
A child needed supplemental calcium, and there were two children in this household.
Lin Yiyi paid a lot of attention to making her food nutritious. Food had to be delicious and healthy, so the side dishes had to be suitable too. Otherwise, even if she made a lot of food, and the children ate it, their bodies might not be able to fully absorb the nutrition from the food.
She washed the vegetables she had put into the sink and wiped the wok clean. Just as she was going to pour oil into the wok, the phone in her pocket vibrated. Immediately after, the phone’s ringtone started.
After wiping her hands and answering the phone, she heard a vibrant female voice.
“Your courage really has no bounds. Yiyi, how dare you try to commit suicide? Your body is given to you by your parents. Even your hair belongs to me! If Little Wang hadn’t called to tell me, you weren’t going to tell me anything, right?”
This was the novel’s Lin Yiyi’s mother, Lin Ping.
The Little Wang that Lin Ping was referring to was the chauffeur. Lin Yiyi had taken over his job during the past two days and given him time off.
Lin Ping was spitting mad. She wished she could pry open the phone to somehow jump out here and lecture her daughter while pointing at her nose. “I saw through that Meng Yan early on. He isn’t anything good. The divorce isn’t a big deal. You don’t need him. He isn’t the only man in the world. Didn’t I find you a stepfather after I got divorced…”
When Lin Ping had reached this point, Lin Yiyi heard a man coughing on Lin Ping’s end. It was probably the stepfather that Lin Ping had mentioned.
