Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

On the highway, Lin Ping was driving the BYD Han EV that Lin Shen had given her at high speed.

On a sunny day, even a long journey home can be delightful.

Therefore, Lin Ping would occasionally hum along to the tune of the car music while driving, and the upturned corners of her mouth showed that she was in a very good mood.

But Zheng Yanfei was in a bad mood.

Fear, doubt, disbelief, distress...

A host of negative emotions shrouded Zheng Yanfei's heart like a gloomy haze, transforming her from a cheerful little girl into the melancholy young woman she is now.

Lin Ping seemed to have noticed her emotions, so she spoke softly with concern.

"Xiaofei, what's wrong? You seemed pretty happy just now, why are you suddenly unhappy?"

"No, no!"

Zheng Yanfei's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly waved her hand, forcing a smile onto her face.

"I'm fine, I'm just thinking about something."

"Is it about going home?"

Lin Ping thought that Zheng Yanfei still harbored resentment about going home, so she comforted her with her own understanding.

"Actually, there's no need to be afraid. I won't take you to see your father this time. Just come with us."

"If he really comes, whether you see him or not is entirely up to you; you have the final say."

"If you don't want to see them, I won't let them come."

"Um……"

Although Lin Ping offered comfort in the wrong direction, her warm words still touched Zheng Yanfei's heart.

But clearly, her dejected expression wasn't caused by these things.

Zheng Yanfei stole another glance at the gold necklace Lin Ping was wearing around her neck.

The hollowed-out petal design is unique and clearly comes with a hefty price tag!

Could they be the same necklace?

After all, although this kind of necklace is not common, there must be similar styles.

Could it just be a coincidence?

Zheng Yanfei tried to comfort herself, but the more she observed Lin Ping, the more alarmed she became.

Because once the seed of doubt begins to take root and sprout in the heart, it can no longer be suppressed.

picture!
so similar!
My aunt's figure is so similar to that of the young woman who used to be Lin Shen's lover!

They are almost identical!
They are about the same height, both have sexy figures with prominent breasts and buttocks, and even their waist-to-hip ratio is so perfect!
Could they really be the same person?

Zheng Yanfei pursed her lips, covered her left chest with her hand, felt her heart beating faster, and her breathing became more and more rapid.

No wonder Brother Lin Shen gave us all earplugs back then.

If the goal is simply to protect the privacy of both parties, wearing a thin gauze blindfold is sufficient.

After all, who could distinguish someone from so many people in Shanghai just by their voice?
Unless the other person is someone you know very well!
In other words, it is very likely that Brother Lin Shen knows about the kinship between me and my aunt!
Zheng Yanfei's eyes widened suddenly. She remembered the slightly strange expression on Lin Shen's face when she introduced her aunt to him.

At first, I thought he just felt a little disgusted with my family's financial situation.

Looking back now, that was a subtle expression after learning the truth!

Zheng Yanfei pouted slightly, a sense of resentment towards Lin Shen welling up inside her.

From the moment they met until they became lovers, Zheng Yanfei never had any negative feelings towards Lin Shen.

Even knowing that he only saw her as a lover, not a girlfriend, Zheng Yanfei still felt that Lin Shen had thought things through carefully.

But this time, Zheng Yanfei was a little angry.

Brother Lin Shen clearly knew about my relationship with my aunt, yet he still made us both serve him?!
Isn't this obviously intentional?
Brother Lin Shen is so mean!

If my aunt knew the truth, wouldn't she be devastated?

After all, her boyfriend was the same person as her niece's boyfriend...

This messy ethical relationship was a complete shock to someone as traditional as my aunt!
Can she accept it?
Zheng Yanfei had already accepted that her aunt was the young woman from that night, but there was still one thing she was quite suspicious about.

That's their personality.

Although she didn't spend much time with Lin Shen's young mistress that night, Zheng Yanfei could tell from her behavior that she was a particularly promiscuous woman.

One word to describe it: sassy!

She used all sorts of methods to please Lin Shen, including twisting her waist and sticking out her buttocks, which could even be described as seduction.

She wanted to stick to Lin Shen and never get off, acting as a sales assistant and making Lin Shen do all the shopping at the supermarket.

They can even blurt out things that make one's cheeks burn, as if they don't exist.

Could this sexy young woman, exuding a seductive charm and captivating allure, really be my aunt?
Compared to her, her aunt was dignified, mature, steady, reserved, and introverted—a typical gentle and intellectual woman.

Moreover, now that she has achieved success in her career, she has brought out the unique charm of a mature young woman to its fullest extent.

The people who were shoveling food that night were like two completely different kinds of people!

Therefore, even though she had strong suspicions, Zheng Yanfei still felt that Lin Ping was not the young woman from that night, based on her personality.

We need to double-check!
So Zheng Yanfei subtly inquired out of curiosity.

"Auntie, how long is your company's vacation this time?"

"About two weeks."

"so much!?"

Zheng Yanfei covered her mouth with both hands in astonishment.

"Your company has great benefits! By the way, the name Shennan sounds very sophisticated. Shen... could it be your boss's name?"

"clever."

Lin Shen smiled. Originally, she planned to reveal Lin Shen's identity after a while, but since Zheng Yanfei had guessed it, she didn't intend to hide anything anymore.

"The founder of Shennan is our boss, Lin Shen."

really!

Zheng Yanfei was startled; all her guesses had come true at that moment!
Lin Shen's brother founded Shennan, and he is also his aunt's boss!

In other words, Lin Shen is the boyfriend that Auntie was talking about!
No, they should be lovers!

Now that things have come to this point, there's no need to continue discussing whether Lin Shen is Lin Ping's boyfriend or not.

Because the answer is already quite clear.

But Zheng Yanfei still wanted to confirm, so she asked out of curiosity.

"So, is this Mr. Lin your boyfriend, Auntie?"

"Well..."

Lin Ping felt a little embarrassed that her boyfriend's true identity had been exposed.

"Yes, he is indeed my boyfriend."

"That's not right, Auntie."

Zheng Yanfei leaned closer and exclaimed in surprise.

"Didn't you say your boyfriend is a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties? Mr. Lin is only in his twenties!"

"Huh? How did you know?"

Lin Ping was slightly surprised and glanced at Zheng Yanfei.

Did I tell you his age?

"Uh, that..."

Zheng Yanfei was startled by Lin Ping's words, but quickly came up with a new excuse.

“I used to see a lot of things about Shennan on Douyin. People said that its boss is a young man.”

"Really? So Mr. Lin is so popular on Douyin."

Lin Ping smiled, her words carrying a hint of pride and arrogance, almost as if she were showing off.

"He is indeed only 25 years old, but he founded Shennan. The company has already taken shape and has more than 50 employees. Its development prospects are very good."

"And we've already opened dozens of physical stores. And let me tell you a little secret: Shennan's first store was mine!" "Really?"

Zhao Ya also curiously leaned over.

"Xiaoping, could Lin Shen be the owner who bought your cat cafe?"

"correct."

Whenever Lin Shen is mentioned, Lin Ping's eyes fill with endless tenderness.

"Originally, I was just a cat cafe owner who was about to go out of business. If it weren't for Mr. Lin giving me a hand, I probably would be unemployed now."

"But Mr. Lin trusted me a lot. Not only did he let me continue as the store manager at first, but he also arranged for me to be a rotating store manager in other cat cafes he acquired. In the end, he even promoted me to the customer service manager of Shennan."

As she spoke, Lin Ping's voice filled with gratitude.

"So I am very grateful to him, and of course I love him very much."

"..."

Lin Ping's words deeply touched the softest spot in Zheng Yanfei's heart.

She never expected that Brother Lin Shen would be so kind to her aunt!
Not only did he acquire her soon-to-be-bankrupt cat cafe, but he even hired her as an employee of his company.

This can be described as a life-saving grace.

I reckon my aunt will really like Brother Lin Shen...

Zheng Yanfei felt a little blocked up, suddenly realizing that the bond between her and Lin Shen was far less deep than the bond between him and her aunt.

She and Lin Shen had only met a few times before she fell in love at first sight and eventually became his mistress.

If you really want to know what happened between them, there's really nothing.

She hadn't given anything to Lin Shen, except for her health, and hadn't received any benefits whatsoever.

But Brother Lin Shen was still very kind to me. He not only gave me pocket money, but also bought me all kinds of cosmetics and bags.

Similarly, he bought one for his aunt, but his aunt was able to help Lin Shen at work.

After a period of wild thoughts, Zheng Yanfei suddenly felt somewhat frustrated.

However, she is an optimist and quickly adjusted her mindset.

Since I can't help Brother Lin Shen in his career, I'll just give him more emotional support in terms of relationships!
Let's start by helping him win over his aunt!
Zheng Yanfei was certain that if her aunt knew that she and her niece shared a boyfriend, her aunt would definitely not be able to accept it.

The two even served Lin Shen together on the same bed!

If my aunt knew this, she would probably be so ashamed that she wouldn't be able to show her face to anyone.
Therefore, the key is to get the aunt to accept this calmly!

Zheng Yanfei was thinking about how to get Lin Ping to accept the fact that she and her niece both liked the same man.

First, I have to get her to accept that Lin Shen has other girlfriends.

Could it be that my aunt already knows?
After pondering for a moment, Zheng Yanfei decided to ask indirectly, so she asked with a face full of curiosity.

"My aunt's boyfriend is amazing! He started his own company in his early twenties. He must be a rich, handsome, and successful guy, right?"

"He is indeed very handsome, tall, and rich."

The more Lin Ping talked, the more she felt she had gotten a great deal.

How could a divorced young woman with a child get involved with a rich second-generation like Lin Shen?

Even if she's just a mistress, that's good enough!
I guess I used up all my luck in this lifetime just to meet President Lin...

Lin Ping's beautiful eyes were filled with endless emotions, but Zheng Yanfei suddenly said something out of the blue.

"But Auntie, I feel like there's a big age gap between you and him. Won't his family put a lot of pressure on him to date you?"

Zheng Yanfei said worriedly, but upon seeing Lin Ping's dejected expression, she immediately waved her hand to comfort her.

"I'm sorry, Auntie! I shouldn't have brought this up! I don't think there's anything wrong with you dating Lin Shen! Please don't take it to heart."

"Xiaofei, I know what you're worried about."

Lin Ping muttered to herself as she drove.

"Actually, my relationship with Lin Shen is very complicated and cannot be explained in a short time. I will tell you when I have time."

"Ok."

Now that Lin Ping had said so, Zheng Yanfei felt more at ease.

She was at least likely aware that Lin Shen had other girlfriends.

In other words, her aunt, like herself, was willing to become Lin Shen's lover?
That Brother Lin Shen is incredibly skilled!

He actually managed to win over his quiet and gentle aunt!

Zheng Yanfei felt no jealousy or resentment towards Lin Shen for having multiple relationships; she only admired him for his ability to win over multiple women.

However, there was one thing she still didn't understand.

Could that flirtatious young woman in bed be my aunt?
Could it be that my aunt is actually a woman who has a lot of affairs in private?
Uncertain of this, Zheng Yanfei could never believe that the woman that night was Lin Ping.

After all, the difference in their personalities is just too great.

Could it be that I've made a mistake?

Perhaps Lin Shen has another young married woman as a lover...

Zheng Yanfei couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Two or three hours later, Lin Ping drove the car into a service area to rest and charge the battery.

"Xiaoping and I are going to the restroom."

Zhao Ya handed An'an to Zheng Yanfei and said softly.

"Xiaofei, are you going?"

"I'll go later."

Zheng Yanfei took the initiative to sit in the back row to accompany An'an, and then she suddenly called out to Lin Ping.

"Mom! Mom! I want to use your phone to watch cartoons!"

"it is good."

Lin Ping handed the phone to An An, then gave Zheng Yanfei a gentle smile.

"Xiaofei, can you help An'an find some cartoons to watch? The password is her birthday."

"it is good."

After Zheng Yanfei carried An'an back to the back seat of the car, she suddenly had a thought and took out her phone to smile at An'an.

"An'an, how about I use my phone to find some cartoons for you to watch? I have some good ones!"

"it is good!"

An An clapped and cheered.

Then Zheng Yanfei found her a show called Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf to watch, which immediately piqued her interest.

She then took the opportunity to check Lin Ping's phone.

Although this approach is quite shameful, Zheng Yanfei really wants to confirm how far Lin Ping and Lin Shen's relationship has progressed.

You stole my boyfriend, so it's normal for me to look at your phone, right?
Zheng Yanfei, who didn't consider herself a good woman anyway, naturally checked Lin Ping's phone without any qualms.

Of course, she didn't look at the chat history on WeChat, since such things are indeed a bit too private.

She started by looking at the photo album.

If you can find photos of them together or in close proximity in the album, then their relationship should be confirmed.

So Zheng Yanfei flipped through Lin Ping's photo album and found that it was full of photos of An An, or some work photos.

It's normal, nothing special.

That shouldn't be happening!

Zheng Yanfei frowned slightly. Being clever, she immediately opened her private photo album and used An An's birthday to decipher it.

Sure enough, it opened.

However, when the sound of the private conversation came into Zheng Yanfei's view, her beautiful eyes widened suddenly.

Why are all these photos like this?! (End of Chapter)
