Chapter 31 My Mom Was the Most Beautiful Diplomat in the 1990s
Wen Yimo remained silent throughout the entire performance, watching Lin Yinyin and her daughter put on a show.
She finally understood why Yoona had been behaving this way all along.
As soon as they entered the living room, Mrs. Xiao greeted them with a smile.
"Oh my, let Grandma see, our Yimo has grown up to be so beautiful."
Xiao's mother pulled Wen Yimo along, looking her over from left to right, extremely satisfied.
This enthusiasm caught Wen Yimo off guard. After what happened with Lin Yinyin and her daughter, she had thought this was the Lin family's attitude.
Xiao's mother gently pulled Yimo to a seat, then looked tenderly at Siyan.
"Ms. Si, hello. I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but unfortunately there hasn't been a suitable time. I'm really sorry."
"Aunt Xiao, you flatter me. My job is very special and I'm quite busy. I'm sorry to have troubled you with your concern."
Seeing how much Xiao's mother adored Wen Yimo, Lin Yoona was filled with jealousy.
He deliberately took two steps forward and hugged Xiao's mother's arm.
"Grandma, I miss you so much. Let's sit down quickly, I have so much to tell you."
"This child," Xiao's mother smiled helplessly.
She glanced apologetically at Si Yan, then stepped aside and led Si Yan and the others to their seats.
Lin Zizhou sat to Si Yan's right, and Lin Yinyin, no matter how unwilling, could only sit to Si Yan's left.
Wen Yimo and Lin Yun'er sat on either side of Xiao's mother.
Sitting in the seat of honor was Lin's father, who was looking at Wen Yimo with a loving expression.
"They look so alike, so incredibly alike. Seeing Yimo now is like seeing Zizhou when he was just over twenty."
Wen Yimo looked at the man to her mother's right. He had sharp eyebrows, a high nose, and a pair of brown eyes that were looking at her gently.
She really looks a lot like me. No wonder Yoona recognized me at first sight.
I doubt even I would believe it if I said I had nothing to do with him.
The Lin family members spoke very restrainedly, afraid of saying anything that might hurt Wen Yimo.
Wen Yimo, who had never felt her father's presence, had tears welling up in her eyes.
Seeing Si Yan and her daughter enjoying a harmonious time with the Lin family, Lin Yinyin's palms were practically clenched shut.
However, thinking of the paternity test results in her bag, Lin Yinyin cheered up again.
Si Yan, I'll expose you for what you really are in a moment. How dare you try to steal Zi Zhou from me? You're really too arrogant.
As they talked, Xiao's mother took out the gifts she had prepared, including a property certificate for a downtown property, a street-front shop, and several sets of valuable jewelry.
There are even original shares in Mr. Lin's company.
Lin Yinyin was extremely jealous, especially when she saw the jewelry and shares, things she could never obtain through any means.
It was given away so easily today.
No, these all belong to my daughter.
"Mom, I've brought the paternity test report you asked me to get."
Lin Yinyin took out the report, pretended to flip through it casually, and suddenly her eyes widened.
"This can't be right. Could there be a problem with the test results?"
Seeing Lin Yinyin's surprised expression, Xiao's mother frowned.
He grabbed the report, opened it, and what greeted his eyes was...
According to our center's analysis, Wen Yimo and Lin Zizhou are not related by blood.
"What? How could that be? Something must have gone wrong. I must have provided the wrong materials."
"It's alright, don't worry about it, everyone continue eating."
Not seeing the expected reaction, Lin Yinyin stood up anxiously.
"Mom, how can you not care? Looking alike is a far cry from being related by blood."
“These jewels of yours are all family heirlooms, and Dad’s shares are also of great importance. If they were given to outsiders, it would be a huge loss for the family.”
"Shut up."
Seeing Si Yan and Wen Yimo's increasingly cold expressions, Xiao's mother became furious.
"Yinyin, didn't Mom say not to worry about this? The report I made in Hong Kong has already come out, and the results show no problems."
"There must have been a problem with the testing agency. The agencies in Hong Kong are large and reputable, much more authoritative than hospitals in Taipei."
As she spoke, Xiao's mother glanced apologetically at Wen Yimo, then bent down and pushed everything in front of Yimo.
Lin Yinyin and Lin Yoona couldn't help but break into a rage.
Wen Yimo looked at what was in front of her, and then at Si Yan's reaction.
Seeing that Si Yan's expression didn't seem to object, Wen Yimo smiled and accepted it.
"Thank you, Grandma, I like it very much."
"Why not take it if it's free? It'll infuriate Lin Yinyin and her daughter."
Everyone enjoyed the meeting, and Wen Yimo accepted it calmly. Isn't it good to have a scientist father and entrepreneur grandparents?
As long as Mom doesn't object, why not accept it?
Besides, let's see how Yoona will pretend to be the young lady of the Lin family at school now.
When Grandma Xiao pulled him into the room after dinner, he casually asked her a question and found out that Lin Yoona's mother was just an adopted daughter of the Lin family.
This is getting interesting. The seemingly glamorous Miss Lin at school is nothing but an empty shell.
When Si Yan and Wen Yimo returned home, Grandma Wen was already eagerly waiting for them, worried that the mother and daughter had suffered some injustice. However, after hearing Yimo's account, she felt that the Lin family was still a polite and respectful family.
Grandma Wen wasn't envious of these things; she was just happy that the Lin family valued Yimo so much.
After the two families became acquainted, they visited each other more frequently, and Xiao's mother suggested holding a family reunion banquet.
Si Yan refused, saying that being too flamboyant in this era would not be good for Yi Mo's safety.
A few days later, Si Yan had finished reviewing the materials she had prepared.
Reporters from various countries flocked to the scene.
Si Yan, a Chinese diplomat, took to the podium to speak.
After a series of routine remarks, the American journalists began by asking questions.
"Hello, Ms. Si Yan, I am a reporter from the American Empire Daily. I would like to ask if the regulations recently introduced by China regarding trade measures with the United States are intended to target the United States?"
"Given China's recent trade actions, can we assume that China is waging a trade war with other major agricultural countries?"
Si Yan remained expressionless and spoke gently.
"Thank you for the question from the American journalist. First of all, China does not want to fight a trade war with anyone, but if someone forces us to fight, we will neither be afraid nor back down."
"Negotiations are welcome; if it comes to fighting, we're prepared to fight to the bitter end."
Si Yan's answer caused an uproar in the audience.
The live broadcast by Taipei Television also delighted the viewers.
"Good, well said. China has stood up. We will not provoke trouble, but if anyone has ill intentions towards us, we will not be afraid of trouble."
"Yes, those Americans are shameless. They always try to provoke conflicts between China and other countries. They deserve to be slapped in the face like this."
"That's so true, Mom. I want to be a diplomat when I grow up, just like the aunties on TV."
