Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When she heard the word “mother,” Ling Tianya subconsciously raised her brow. The word itself was not strange to her, but her actual mother was.

For so many years, whenever her mother was mentioned, it was always followed by condemnation such as having an affair, running away with someone, being shameless...

Similarly, Ling Tianya also heard a lot people’s denunciation of her. She was called a sack of bad luck, the b*tch daughter of a sl*t, shameful things...

She did not know that Yu Meizi would just leave her and Ling Tianxin behind to run away with someone. So Ling Tianya had always had contradictory thoughts about her biological mother,.

The brave and opinionated Ling Tianya, at this very moment, became timid. Because she had no idea how she should be facing Yu Meizi mentally and emotionally.

“Where is she?” Ling Tianya asked Mr. Zhong.

Mr. Zhong was slightly taken aback by Ling Tianya’s cold attitude.

“She is in the living room. Madame Ruan and Mrs. Ruan are accompanying her.”

Ling Tianya took a deep breath and suddenly thought of something. “Did she come by herself?”

Mr. Zhong shook his head. “No, there is a middle-aged man and a teenage boy.”

Ling Tianya nodded and, with great determination, stood up from the chair. Then, she followed Mr. Zhong to the living room.

On the way there, Ling Tianya’s heart was not calm. In her head, she thought of several reactions she should have when she saw Yu Meizi shortly.

But every reaction just formed in her mind before it was immediately dismissed.

This time, she was truly helpless.

Before entering the living room, Ling Tianya heard a woman’s voice that did not belong to Madame Ruan or Wang Yazhi.

Ling Tianya’s body froze. Although this voice sounded older than she remembered, she was certain that it was the voice of her mother, Yu Meizi.

An intense sorrow rushed up Ling Tianya’s throat, making her choke up.

“Young mistress?” When he noticed that Ling Tianya stopped, Mr. Zhong looked back with sympathy in his eyes.

As a long-time housekeeper of the Ruan Family, he knew everyone in the family. Of course, this included Ling Tianya.

Mr. Zhong knew the story about Ling Tianya’s mother. That’s why when she saw Ling Tianya look so lost, Mr. Zhong felt sorry for her.

“Nothing, let’s go.” Ling Tianya made herself take a few deep breaths before she walked toward the living room.

However, even so, her heart was pounding fiercely inside of her body.

Finally, she entered the living room. Ling Tianya immediately spotted Yu Meizi who was sitting on the sofa looking very awkward.

Yu Meizi was wearing a grey trench coat. Judging from the style and the shape, it was obvious that the coat was rather old.

Her hair was thin and there was white hair on her forehead and temples. In Ling Tianya’s memory, Yu Meizi’s hair was thick and black. Back then, people always said that Ling Tianya’s hair was exactly the same as Yu Meizi’s, black and shiny.

Yu Meizi’s face looked pale and her body thin. Her skin was so wrinkly that it created a stark contrast against Wang Yazhi, who is sitting next to her looking healthy and well.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ling Tianya stood there motionless. This woman was her mother, but she was no longer the mother in her memory...

At this moment, Ling Tianya did not know whether she should cry or laugh.

“Yaya, you are here!” Wang Yazhi noticed Ling Tianya first and said in a soft voice.

Yu Meizi’s body shook suddenly as she stood up from the sofa. Her eyes were red when they found Ling Tianya.
