Chapter 10: Troubled on Both Ends
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The fake lady who was wrongfully raised by the Lins for more than twenty years—once the real daughter of the Lins returned, her original position in the Lin family became extremely awkward. Furthermore, the ones who caused it were her birth parents.
Mother Lin was unable to completely let go of the Lin Nuan whom she’d taken care of for over twenty years, but she also couldn’t ignore her birth daughter. So, on the one hand, she continued to care for Lin Nuan, and on the other, she tried to think of ways to make it up to her birth daughter, feeling troubled on both ends.
But Lin Nuan knew what she had to do in that tough situation—the day the real daughter of the Lins returned, she found an excuse to move out of the Lin family’s home.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter moving out, Mother Lin still came by often to give Lin Nuan good clothes and good food, but the Lin family’s house… Lin Nuan had never once returned.
If Fu Huai’an was going to visit the Lins for his marriage with Lin Nuan, she would be frowned upon if she didn’t return with him.
Lin Nuan originally wanted to ask Fu Huai’an whether he knew that her birth mother had a mental illness?
Before she could open her mouth, Lin Nuan felt a warmth at the tip of her finger. When she looked down, she saw Tuan Tuan’s soft hand holding onto her.
Children are sensitive—Tuan Tuan sensed Lin Nuan’s mood change and felt a little scared…
Meeting Tuan Tuan’s bright black eyes, Lin Nuan forced down the words at the tip of her tongue and replied, “I know. Call me before you go, and I’ll… go there too.”
After breakfast, Fu Huai’an left for the lawyer’s office, and Lin Nuan got ready to head for the radio station.
Fu Huai’an had already dealt with the parked car near his house in the morning.
Lin Nuan said she wanted it to be proper, so Fu Huai’an would definitely grant her wish.
However, Auntie Li was taking a break in the afternoon, and Fu Huai’an had already left. Lin Nuan looked at Tuan Tuan who was sitting across from her, quietly staring at her with his big eyes. For a moment… Lin Nuan didn’t know what to do. action
She glanced at her wristwatch; it was almost 1 p.m. and she’d promised her colleague to help her cover the 1:30 p.m. radio program today. She couldn’t delay going to work anymore.
After some pondering, Lin Nuan changed into her clothes—which Auntie Li had already washed and ironed—and brought Tuan Tuan with her to the radio station.
…
When Lin Nuan suddenly brought such a cute little boy to the radio station building, it attracted many adults into coming over to take a look.

As he hugged the numerous snacks that Lin Nuan’s colleagues pushed onto him, he looked up at the crowd of uncles and aunties asking him endless questions. He looked adorable, like a cute little baby straight out of a comic.
Lin Nuan’s good friend Bai Xiaonian sat inside the broadcasting room and watched the chubby Tuan Tuan through the glass window. She too was cooing over the boy’s cuteness and desperately wanted to go out and squeeze Tuan Tuan’s tiny face.
After Bai Xiaonian tested the mic, she took off her headphones and leaned towards Lin Nuan, asking, “Nuan Nuan, where did you get such a cute baby from? He’s way too precious!”
Lin Nuan took a look at Tuan Tuan, and for a moment she couldn’t answer; she couldn’t possibly just tell Bai Xiaonian the truth, right?
“Hey, I’m asking you a question.”
Getting no response from Lin Nuan, Bai Xiaonian elbowed her lightly.
Bai Xiaonian was not a gossipy person, and she wasn’t someone who felt strong curiosity towards anything. However, Bai Xiaonian had been friends with Lin Nuan for more than ten years—she knew that Lin Nuan was in a difficult situation. She was afraid that Lin Nuan’s kindness would inadvertently bring some messy problems for herself.
Lin Nuan glanced at the clock in the broadcasting room and replied, “I’ll tell you later after the program…”
