Chapter 32 My Mom Was the Most Beautiful Diplomat in the 1990s
Si Yan's first speech representing China was a complete success. As soon as she returned backstage, she was surrounded by her colleagues.
"Siyan, you did a fantastic job today, especially when you responded to the American reporter, you were so assertive."
Yes, you are this one.
Si Yan's colleagues all wore proud smiles.
"Hey, it's not because I'm amazing, it's all thanks to the scientists who have dedicated themselves to our country."
"If it weren't for the advanced weapons that were showcased at the previous exchange meeting, I wouldn't have the confidence to say these things today. Our motherland is becoming stronger and stronger."
Yes, everyone nodded in agreement. In the past, even if Chinese diplomats had a lot of valid points when speaking on the international stage, other countries simply didn't recognize them.
Watching Si Yan's wise performance on the podium, the Lin family also expressed their praise and pride.
"Son, is there really no chance for you and Miss Si? I like her very much. I wish she were my daughter-in-law."
Xiao's mother looked at Lin Zizhou with regret.
His own son is useless, and he can't even get his wife and children back.
Lin Zizhou was slightly taken aback after hearing this. In fact, he had said it before, but Si Yan directly refused, saying that she wanted to dedicate the rest of her life to the motherland.
Si Yan asked him a question.
"If I don't marry you, will you stop loving Yimo?"
His answer at the time was, "Of course not."
"That's good. My daughter is eighteen now and will be taking the college entrance exam soon. We've both missed out on many years of her growth."
Si Yan looked up into the distance.
"I won't interfere with how your family compensates her in the future, but let's just continue to get along as we are now."
"You have your career, and I have mine. We are both striving for the country, and there is no need to dwell on petty love affairs."
Lin Zizhou nodded solemnly.
"I'm obsessed with it."
Lin Zizhou never brought up the topic again after that day.
So, despite Xiao's mother's regret, Lin Zizhou could only shake his head with a faint smile.
"Mom, you have such an outstanding granddaughter as Yimo, that's enough. One shouldn't be too greedy."
As Lin Zizhou finished speaking, an unreadable emotion flickered in his eyes, and it was unclear who he was trying to persuade.
Meanwhile, Lin Yinyin was furious after seeing Si Yan's performance on TV. Everyone around her was praising her, and she couldn't stand it, so she found someone to spread rumors that Si Yan's job was dishonorable.
But what she didn't know was that Si Yan's initial job application was not easy.
Si Yan brought various cutting-edge technology blueprints as a pledge of loyalty when she entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The government initially wanted to protect her, but Si Yan also said that she didn't understand the technology.
The reason Si Yan was able to provide these blueprints is because she has a good memory and speaks several foreign languages. She might as well work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and continue to contribute to China.
Of course, the motherland will not treat her unfairly. Although her contributions have not been made public, her file has actually been archived as that of an important national personnel.
Therefore, Lin Yinyin's rumors only spread to a small number of people before she was arrested by the police for endangering national security.
When she was arrested, she was still dreaming that Si Yan would be despised by everyone.
"Mom, Si Yan is a public figure. Won't there be a problem if you do this?"
“What problems could there be? This isn’t the first time Mom has done this. I used it before you were even born, but look, nothing has happened all these years.”
Lin Yinyin said nonchalantly, turning around to look in the mirror, rubbing her palms together and gently patting her face to help the cream be absorbed.
Because her husband was a troublesome man when she married young, she divorced him long ago, and now only she and Lin Yoona live in the villa.
It's not that I didn't think about getting involved with Lin Zizhou, but more than ten years ago, I ended up doing all the work for Si Yan.
Later, fearing that it would cause her to lose her wealthy life, she chose to get engaged and married.
After the divorce, she got older and didn't value relationships as much anymore, but she did think about money.
Originally, the Lin family had no relatives, and his own Yun'er was the most likely to inherit the Lin family's property. But now they only gave him a small portion. How could this be? He wanted everything.
Lin Yinyin, who was fully enjoying her wonderful future life, was awakened by a doorbell ringing.
"Who is it? It's the middle of the night."
"Hello, Ms. Lin Yinyin, we are from the property management. Someone left a gift for you in the security room earlier, so I brought it to you. It looks quite valuable."
Property manager Xiao Li glanced at the policeman crouching in the corner to the right, nervously wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he had no idea what Lin Yinyin had done wrong.
Never mind, with such a big fuss, it must have been something serious.
"Ms. Lin Yinyin, please open the door. The gift is quite valuable, and I must hand it to you in person."
"Who sent this expensive gift?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Yinyin opened the door without any suspicion.
The police rushed into the house as soon as the door was opened.
"Police, don't move, Ms. Lin Yinyin. You have been arrested for endangering national security. Please cooperate with the investigation."
"Help! What are you saying? How could I do such a thing? Let me go! Do you know who my adoptive father is?"
Hearing the noise downstairs, Lim Yoona rushed down in a few steps. Because the housekeeper had taken a few days off, it was just Lim Yinyin and her daughter at home.
"What are you doing? Let go of my mother."
Seeing the police officer pinning her mother down, Lim Yoona panicked; she didn't know what was happening.
"Lin Yinyin, right? Do you remember how you spent money to spread rumors about Si Yan three days ago?"
"Si Yan is a public official, and you can't just spread rumors and slander her. This is no small matter. You'd better cooperate with us and go back to the station for investigation."
"what?"
Lin Yinyin spoke in a trembling voice, then collapsed to the ground.
He then looked at Lim Yoona, signaling her not to speak.
"Okay, I'll go back with you. Yoona, you should also let your grandparents know you're safe and sound, so they don't worry."
Lin Yoona understood her mother's unspoken message and took a taxi to the Lin family home late at night after the police took Lin Yinyin away.
Just as Xiao's mother was about to rest and closed her eyes, she was awakened by a burst of crying.
When Yoona arrived, she rushed straight to the living room. The servants didn't dare to stop her, wondering what had happened and why Miss Yoona was crying so hard.
Seeing Xiao's mother come downstairs, Lin Yoona took two steps forward and knelt in front of her, crying pitifully.
"Grandma, something terrible has happened! Mom has been arrested by the police! Mom is such a good person, how could she have done something wrong! Please ask Grandpa to use his connections to get Mom out."
Seeing Lin Yoona crying her eyes out, Xiao's mother was extremely anxious.
"What's going on? Why are the police arresting Yinyin?"
Im Yoona lowered her head guiltily, knowing that if she told the truth, they definitely wouldn't help her mother.
I'll keep it a secret for now and wait until they rescue my mother.
Seeing that Lin Yoona could only lower her head and cry, Xiao's mother could only try her best to comfort her.
"Yoona, wait here, I'll have your grandfather contact his comrades right away."
