After the mother was reborn, she was deeply involved in the battle for favor between her sons

Lin Xu received Xie Changyan's message on the way to the hotel.

Xie: [Do you have time to meet and chat today? ]

She looked through the chat history and found that she had sent five or six messages to invite him for dinner but received no reply, so she gave up.

But today he actually took the initiative to send her a message, and a flash of surprise flashed across her eyes.

Willow catkins flying: [You sent it to the wrong person? ]

Xie: [If you are Miss Lin, then you should have sent it correctly.]

Lin Xu smiled faintly, replied to him, "See you in the afternoon," and then went into the hotel.

Ji Yuqiao cried so hard last night and got drunk. Lin Xu was worried about her, so she came to check on her.

When she entered the room, Ji Yuqiao had not left yet. He was curled up in bed fiddling with his phone, unwilling to get up.

Seeing her, Ji Yuqiao changed her arrogant temper and became embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I drank too much last night and made random calls, disturbing your New Year's celebration."

"It's okay. Didn't you say we are friends? There's no need to be so formal between friends." Lin Xu smiled indifferently. "Did anything happen last night?"

Ji Yuqiao pursed her lips, looked sad, and was reluctant to speak.

"If you don't want to talk, then don't talk." Lin Xu sat on the edge of the bed and stroked her cheek. "You've slept for so long, are you hungry? How about I treat you to a meal?"

Lin Xu's voice was as warm as the spring breeze, and as gentle as coaxing a child, and my originally uncomfortable chest became warm.

Ji Yuqiao looked at her and felt that her cheeks and chest became warm when she touched them. "You sound like you are coaxing a child."

"Maybe it's because I have three children at home." Lin Xu said.

Even though they have grown up, she still can't adapt and still treats them the same way she used to treat children.

Ji Yuqiao thought of her two brothers at home. Although they loved her and were reluctant to let her suffer since she was a child, they almost always agreed to her requests. But their hearts were not as delicate as girls, and they had never treated her so gently.

She huddled in the bed, looking at Lin Xu with a flash of shyness in her eyes, and whispered, "It would be great if you were my mother..."

"What did you say?" Lin Xu didn't hear clearly.

"No, nothing." Ji Yuqiao immediately shook her head, blushing, and quickly threw off the quilt and got up from the bed, "Let's go eat, I'm so hungry."

The place for dinner was chosen by Ji Yuqiao, a high-end restaurant that only accepts VIP guests.

She took the menu and asked Lin Xu: "Do you want to eat anything?"

"No, just order the food."

"Okay." She ordered a few dishes with ease.

When the food was served, Ji Yuqiao wolfed it down as if he hadn't eaten for a long time. "I haven't come here to eat for a long time since my brother stopped paying my living expenses. Thank you for treating me."

"Eat slowly. No one is going to snatch the food from you." Lin Xu was afraid that she would choke, so he handed her a glass of water.

As soon as they started eating, Ji Yuqiao started talking more. She said to Lin Xu angrily, "Didn't I tell you last time that I have a boy I like? He suddenly asked me out last night."

"I rushed over without even having the New Year's Eve dinner. I thought he was touched by my persistence and finally wanted to be with me. Who knew he just wanted to pay me back."

Before, Xiao Yu worked part-time in a coffee shop and soiled a customer's clothes, so she gave Xiao Yu 100,000 yuan.

As a result, he kept thinking about distancing himself from her and returning the money to her as soon as he saved enough.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuqiao felt a tightness in his chest and slammed the cup heavily on the table in discomfort.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I thought our relationship had improved during those days in the library, but it turned out to be all my fantasy! He said that the person he liked was never me!"

Ji Yuqiao was so sad that she went to the bar on impulse and spent all the money he returned to her.

"Am I not good-looking? Why doesn't he like me? What should I do to make him like me?" Ji Yuqiao drank the water in her hand as if it were wine, took a big gulp, and started complaining to Lin Xu.

"Since he doesn't like you, why are you unwilling to give up?" Lin Xu was puzzled.

"My brother said that you have to fight for the things you like, and you can't give up easily, even if it means sacrificing some means," said Ji Yuqiao.

Wen Li also doesn't like her elder brother, but her elder brother still keeps Wen Li by his side.

Big brother succeeded, so what he said must be right.

Lin Xu: "..."

This is the truth, but it sounds so weird.

"You can work hard for it, but we shouldn't humble ourselves. It's said that you have to learn to love yourself first before others will love you. Do you understand?" Lin Xu said to her.

Ji Yuqiao shook her head blankly, "I don't understand..."

Lin Xu smiled and said, "You said before that he has good academic performance and has won many competition awards, so he must be a person who loves to study. Maybe if you participate in the same competition with him and then beat him in the competition, he will definitely look at you with new eyes."

"If you continue to ignore him, will he be at a loss and come looking for you?"

Ji Yuqiao was delighted, but soon lost her composure. She hesitated, "Those competitions are very difficult..."

How could she possibly score better than Xiao Yu?

"You passed the make-up exam successfully in just one week, which is enough to prove that you have a strong learning ability, so you will definitely have no problem in the competition." Lin Xu encouraged her, "Why don't you trust me and give it a try?"

Ji Yuqiao lowered her head and took a bite of food, "Let me think..."

Lin Xu accompanied Ji Yuqiao for lunch, and the two went shopping in the mall. It was not until the time for the appointment with Xie Changyan that Lin Xu separated from her.

When Lin Xu arrived at the coffee shop, Xie Changyan had already arrived, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Sorry, I'm late." Lin Xu sat down opposite him.

"It's okay, I came too early." Xie Changyan put down the cup, revealing obvious bruises on the corners of his lips.

Lin Xu was stunned, looking at the corner of his lips in surprise and asked: "Why is your face injured?"

The indifferent expression on Xie Changyan's face suddenly became subtle, "You, don't remember?"

"Ah? What should I remember?" Lin Xu blinked in confusion.

"..."Xie Changyan was silent.

He originally wanted to ask her what the kiss last night was about, but it turned out that the person involved had no memory of it at all, and he was instead troubled by the scene from time to time.

He sneered at himself, his fingers gently stroking the edge of the coffee cup, "Ms. Lin, we..."

"Does your injury hurt?" Lin Xu suddenly spoke, interrupting him. Her clear eyes were filled with concern as she stared at the corner of his lips.

Xie Changyan only felt the corners of his lips getting hot as she stared at him, and his throat boiled.
