The Introvert is Becoming the Police Station's Beloved!

Chapter 284: Chapter 284: What to Do When My Daughter Is Wronged

Lin Mu nodded silently, while she started to worry in her heart. The He family has such good conditions; would they consider Yanyan? Would they look down on our family?

What if our daughter suffers grievances in the future?

On this day, Lin Mu was particularly silent. Anything Lin Xiaoyan wanted to buy, she nodded in agreement, not refusing even the very expensive clothes, which was unusual for her.

Lin Xiaoyan keenly sensed something off about her mom but didn’t ask her outright while they were outside.

Returning home, Lin Mu took the clothes to her room, carefully hanging them up.

Lin Xiaoyan stood beside the door, watching her mother with worries on her mind, and asked, "Mom, what’s wrong with you?"

Lin Mu looked at her daughter, "Nothing’s wrong."

"Then why aren’t you saying anything?"

Lin Mu smiled, "How am I not talking? I’ve been talking the whole time, I’m fine, go do your own thing."

Seeing that her mom didn’t want to talk, Lin Xiaoyan stopped asking.

She went to the living room, waited for her dad to come out of the bathroom, and softly said to him, "Dad, my mom seems a bit off, maybe you can ask her what’s wrong later."

Lin Fu paused, "There’s nothing off about your mom, she seems fine to me."

Lin Xiaoyan: "Just ask her anyway."

Lin Fu: "Alright."

Lin Fu walked into the room, closed the door, and thoughtfully looked at his wife who was organizing clothes. He went to the bed and sat down.

"Yanyan asked me to ask you, what’s the matter?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu’s movements came to a stop.

She glanced at the closed door and suddenly her shoulders drooped, her face full of worry.

"I’m worried about Yanyan..."

Lin Mu voiced her concerns, "Before we weren’t clear about Xiao He’s family situation, only knowing they had good conditions. But today I learned that it’s not just good; the Xiao He family conditions are simply excellent!

People always say low marriage, high marriage. I’m afraid Yanyan will be looked down upon in the future..."

Lin Fu understood his wife’s worries, he sighed, "Don’t worry about it now; let’s talk after meeting Xiao He’s family.

If Xiao He’s family...

Then at that time, we’ll sit down and talk with our daughter."

Lin Mu nodded powerlessly, "That’s all we can do now."

In the evening, when Lin Xiaoyan saw her mom again, she noticed that her mom seemed back to normal. She couldn’t help but give her dad a thumbs up in secret.

Lin Fu proudly winked at his daughter.

Fan Lalan arrived, and everyone ate and chatted at the same time.

Lin Hao hadn’t returned yet; he finished work very late. Considering his wife’s inability to wait too long, Lin Mu had prepared the meal for them first.

She left some for her son, kept warm in a food box, for his wife to take back to the other side.

"Today I came across a missing person notice, sigh... I wonder if it’s because of having kids now.

Before, I didn’t really feel anything when I saw those missing person videos.

Today, after watching that video, I felt a wrenching pain in my heart."

Fan Lalan said with a look of pity.

Lin Xiaoyan heard what her sister-in-law said and asked, "This morning I also saw a video of a three-year-old girl lost at her doorstep. Is it that one?"

Fan Lalan immediately nodded, "Yes, that’s the one. She went missing yesterday afternoon and still hasn’t been found."

Lin Fu: "Lost at the doorstep?"

Fan Lalan: "Yes! And it was just two or three minutes before she was gone!"

Lin Mu inquired upon hearing this, "Isn’t there surveillance?"

"I don’t know; anyway, they reported it to the police, who have been searching but found no leads."

"Sigh, it’s been a day and a night. That little girl is so cute. If she’s been kidnapped, it’s too pitiful."

As soon as this topic was brought up, Fan Lalan felt distressed and had an urge to cry.

Speaking this way, tears began to fall from Fan Lalan’s eyes.

Seeing this, everyone had mixed expressions of laughter and sadness.

Lin Xiaoyan hastily handed tissues to her sister-in-law, "Sis-in-law, don’t be upset. Maybe the child will be found tonight; with technology so advanced now, surveillance is everywhere!"

Lin Mu also said, "Yes, things are different now. In the past, once a child was lost, they might never be found again.

But surveillance is everywhere now; surely they’ll find her."

Lin Fu had a different opinion, "I think the likelihood of finding her isn’t high."

Just as Fan Lalan was about to stop crying, her tears began falling again upon hearing this.

Lin Xiaoyan: ...

The silent Nan Xi nearby: ...

Lin Mu glared at Lin Fu, "Eat your meal!"

Lin Fu shoveled food into his mouth, "What’s the matter? I’m speaking the truth. You guys think about it, it’s been so long already, what kidnapper would abduct a child and stay in the same place?"

Fan Lalan wiped away her uncontrollable tears, her voice slightly choking, "Sigh, I don’t know what’s wrong. But just thinking about that little girl breaks my heart."

Lin Xiaoyan looked at her sister-in-law, then at her belly, "It’s probably due to pregnancy hormones."

Lin Mu sighed and said, "That’s one aspect, but another aspect is you’ve now become a mother. Things you couldn’t empathize with before becoming a mom will now touch your heart.

Once you’re a mom, you’ll be moved by your child."

Fan Lalan listened and nodded, "Yes, I used to skip through these videos without a second thought. Now, thinking that if it were my child gone, my heart would be torn."

"Sigh, I hope they find that little girl and wish for all children to grow up safely alongside their parents."

After dinner, Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi went out to send Fan Lalan home.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at her sister-in-law’s belly and asked, "Sis-in-law, has walking become uncomfortable now that you’re in the late stages of pregnancy?"

Fan Lalan caressed her belly, "Uncomfortable, sigh, not only does my stomach feel discomfort, but my pubic bone also hurts."

"Additionally, I can’t sleep well at night; always feeling the urge to visit the bathroom, making trips five or six times a night..."

Talking about these things, Fan Lalan had endless words. Previously at home alone, her husband wasn’t around, and her physical discomfort and inner grievances had no outlet.

She worried about burdening her husband, busy at work.

Talking to her mother-in-law... well, she felt too embarrassed.

Speaking to her mom, her mom would just console her saying all women go through this, sigh.

"Sis-in-law, your efforts are appreciated, but hold on a little longer, you’ll soon be able to deliver!" Lin Xiaoyan comforted.

Fan Lalan smiled wryly, "That’s what I keep telling myself, thinking about how soon it’ll be born, and then I can sleep and turn any way I wish in bed!

No need to purposefully sleep on the left side, I can sleep right-side when I want..."

Lin Xiaoyan escorted her sister-in-law to the door, smiling as she said, "Soon, soon you’ll be able to sleep however you want!"

Fan Lalan smiled and nodded, "Hopefully, I just hope he/she is well-behaved after coming out."

After sending her sister-in-law into the house, Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi left. Walking along, she sighed, "Turns out pregnancy can be so hard. I used to think being pregnant was the happiest thing."
