Chapter 385: Chapter 385 Admission

“Me?”

Chen Hao pointed at himself.

“Boy, I can see that you are a rather smart guy. Could you stay back and do me a favor?”

The lady kept her emotions under control just in time.

“Very well, Madam. Chen Hao would stay on to help you!” said Fang Yi.

She really treated Chen Hao as one of her servants.

Chen Hao had no other choice. In the end, he reluctantly agreed to help.

After the rest of them had left, the lady grabbed both of Chen Hao’s hands in a sudden motion.

Chen Hao was greatly surprised.

“Madam, what’s the matter?” Chen Hao asked anxiously.

“Boy, although I have no idea who you really are, I can tell that you are a very kind person. Could you please enlighten me on where did you get this jade pendant from?”

As the lady spoke, she lifted up the jade pendant which she had picked up from the passageway earlier.

Indeed, it was the jade pendant which was given to him by Su Ziyue with the name 'Mengxin' engraved on it.

Chen Hao was taken aback by the lady’s emotional state.

However, he still managed to reply, “This belongs to my sister. What’s wrong, Madam?”

The lady immediately answered, “You’re saying she is your sister. Is she still alive? Is she?”

At the same time, she shook Chen Hao’s shoulders violently.

Chen Hao nodded his head. “Of course!”

At that moment, tears started to stream down the lady’s face.

No matter how dense he was, he could tell that something was fishy.

The lady was getting too emotional over the jade pendant.

Only until then did Chen Hao realize the reason why he thought the lady looked familiar as if he had met her somewhere before.

Just then, a thought flashed across Chen Hao’s mind.

He finally recalled something. Although the lady’s face was completely disfigured, her expressions as well as her features looked strikingly similar to Su Ziyue’s.

Could she be...

“Madam, I reckon that you’re not Aunt Xia’s cousin?” Chen Hao asked in an attempt to sound her out.

“I-I am!”

The lady wiped away her tears in an urgency.

She quickly contained her emotions.

However, it would be impossible for her to hide away her emotions forever.

“Mengxin, the name was engraved on the jade pendant. Is that you? Are you Fang Mengxin?” Chen Hao questioned her directly.

“W-Who is Fang Mengxin? I don’t know her! I’ve never heard about her. You’ve got the wrong person!”

The lady shook her head vigorously and continued, “I am just a peasant lady. I’ve lived here since I was little. You’ve mistaken me for someone else!”

“It’s impossible that I would get the wrong person, because you look too similar to Ziyue. Both of you look entirely the same!”

Chen Hao was feeling flustered deep down inside.

In fact, the purpose of this grueling trip to Chengdu was to look for Fang Mengxin.

However, Chen Hao knew that searching for Fang Mengxin under the current circumstances would be an uphill task.

Up until now, forces from several sources had appeared along the process.

Even the only lead he had now was in the possession of the Fang Family.

Chen Hao was in a dilemma of what to do next.

But now, a lady who looked exactly like Su Ziyue appeared before him.

Furthermore, the lady got very emotional at the sight of the jade pendant. Alas, there was no need for any further explanation.

“Did you say her name was Ziyue? Does she really look exactly like me?” the lady spoke with anxiousness.

“Yes, it was her who gave me this pendant. She has been so desperate to look for her mother that she even dreams about it. For all these years, she has been all alone and lived a destitute life. She was brought up in an orphanage,” said Chen Hao.

Tears flowed down from the lady’s eyes.

Then, she collapsed onto the chair feebly and cried at the same time.

“Are you still going to deny that you are Fang Mengxin? You’re Fang Mengxin, aren't you?” asked Chen Hao.

Finally, the lady nodded her head with her hands covering her face. “I am!”

Thereafter, she got up to her feet suddenly and tugged at one of Chen Hao’s arms. “I am begging you, please allow me to meet with Ziyue. I don’t care which side of forces you are from. I promise I will follow you wherever you want me to go, as long as you allow me to meet with Ziyue!” Fang Mengxin said in tears.

Chen Hao felt like the weight on his shoulders had finally been lifted.

Fang Mengxin was found.

“Aunt Fang, don’t worry. I would definitely allow you to meet with Ziyue. This time, I’ve brought her with me to Chengdu!”

As a matter of fact, Chen Hao was overjoyed at the moment.

He had accomplished his mission. Most importantly, Su Ziyue’s mother was found!

“Ziyue is here too? Where is she?” asked Fang Mengxin.

“She is at the villa where I am staying at, waiting for updates from me.” At the sight of Fang Mengxin, Chen Hao felt that there was a natural bond between the two of them. At that moment, he said, “Aunt Fang, from what I’ve gathered, you used to be known for your beauty. Did something happen to you back then?”

Fang Mengxin stroked her cheek and asked, “Are you referring to my face?”

Chen Hao nodded.

“I did this to myself. You know very well that I have a lot of enemies out there. I had no other choice but to do this for better concealment of my identity. Therefore, I disfigured myself twenty years ago. Later on, I decided to reside in Clearwater Village in Chengdu. Xia and I have been working in tandem for all these years. Whenever anyone was looking for Xia, she would escape using this method. Hehe, no one would expect that a hideous peasant lady to actually be Fang Mengxin! I suppose you wouldn’t be able to tell either if I hadn’t seen the jade pendant falling from your pocket,” said Fang Mengxin.

“Indeed, I did not expect that!”

“In the beginning, I was hardly even able to contain my emotions at the sight of that girl who came together with you. Is her name Fang Jiannan? Is she my brother’s daughter? She must be. When she was little, I used to carry her all the time. I almost let loose of my emotions when she was standing before me just now. It’s all because I am so reluctant to see anyone from the Fang Family… My emotions totally got out of my control when I saw the jade pendant which I’ve left to my daughter. I have been missing her every single day. I really miss her so much! For several times in my life, I’ve hated God for treating me so unfairly. But now, I realize that God has in fact been treating me very well.

My daughter is still alive, and now, she is coming for me!” Fang Mengxin said in tears.

Chen Hao could understand such emotion better than anyone else.

“By the way, boy, what is your name? From what I’ve heard from Fang Yi, your name is Chen Hao? Are you from the Chen Family in the Southern Region?” asked Fang Mengxin.

“I…”

It was out of Chen Hao’s expectation that Fang Mengxin was able to gather so much information from the event earlier.

He hesitated and did not say a word.

“You must be. I know it’s you who’ve summoned all the helicopters. Is this the GPS tracker exclusively owned by your family? Which generation of the Chen Family are you from? Do you know someone named Chen Pingan?”

Fang Mengxin fired away several questions at one go.

Chen Hao could only cave in as it appeared that he would not be able to keep any secrets in front of her.

And so, he said, “I have no idea which generation of the Chen Family I am from. Also, I’ve never heard of Chen Pingan. All I know is that someone from the Chen Family would really like to meet you. Aunt Fang, I would arrange for you to have a reunion with Ziyue. But after that, you would have to go somewhere with me. This is the only condition I have.”

“Hehe, since you’re someone from the Chen Family, I understand what you’re trying to do. Chen Hao, after meeting my daughter, I will go with you. All the bad blood between the two families arose because of my daughter and I. Don’t you think it’s about time to put an end to all of this?”

Fang Mengxin caressed Chen Hao’s head as though she was caressing her own child.

Thereafter, she added, “But Chen Hao, I have a condition too. I have no idea about your relationship with my niece, Jiannan, but you have to promise me that you would never reveal my identity to anyone, especially someone from the Fang Family. Would you be able to do that?”
