She glanced towards the direction of the sound. There seemed to be an ongoing event at the nearby shopping mall since they had constructed a makeshift stage in the empty space in front of the building. Even scantily dressed ladies were dancing to an upbeat song.

There were many spectators.

Without her even knowing, Su Yue walked towards the mall and joined the crowd.

“Beibei, don’t run away! Wait for Grandmother!”

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang and it surprised Su Yue. She turned around.

“Beibei...”

A slightly plump woman in an emerald-green dress had an LV handbag slung on her arm. She was chasing after a young boy.

‘Yueyue, is the soup salty?’

‘If you like it, next time I’ll send the soup to your school alright?’

‘My son is so blessed to have found such a lovely and sensible girl like you.’

...

Memories flooded Su Yue’s mind.

“Yueyue...”

Su Yue was still reminiscing about the past when the woman called her.

The mild-tempered and warm lady that she remembered strode towards her and Su Yue flashed her a smile. “Aunt.”

Wang Yuexiang stood before Su Yue as she carefully scrutinized her. Her smile and expression seemed to hint some regret and disappointment.

She pulled the boy closer to her and pointed to Su Yue. “Beibei, call her...”

Wang Yuexiang hesitated and said, “Call her sister.”

With Su Yue’s age and appearance, it was perfectly fine for the 9-year-old boy to address her as his older sister. But the tricky thing was, he was Ming Ansheng’s son.

The boy didn’t immediately obey. He frowned at Wang Yuexiang and asked, “Grandmother, she calls you Aunt. But I address her as Sister. Then wouldn’t you be my aunt?”

Su Yue let out a burst of laughter.

Wang Yuexiang poked the boy’s head with a disapproving look. “You cheeky boy!”

“But she does look like an older sister.” Beibei sounded like an adult as he sized up Su Yue. After a moment of deliberation, he said, “Hello, Sister.”

Su Yue kept her eyes fixed on Beibei’s face for some time before she smiled. “Hello.”

She greeted in a polite manner.

He really resembled Meiduo.

Su Yue’s eyes darted to Wang Yuexiang, and she intended to bid her goodbye.

Wang Yuexiang pressed on. “When did you return?”

Su Yue replied softly, “I arrived yesterday.”

“Oh, you came to attend your Third Brother and Third sister-in-law’s wedding.” Wang Yuexiang smiled bitterly and she bent her head.

All of Ming Ansheng’s friends were all starting their own families, except for her son.

When she saw Su Yue, her heart ached even more for her son.

Su Yue nodded and murmured.

Wang Yuexiang asked again, “Why are you here? Are you with your friends?”

She glanced around their surroundings as if looking for Su Yue’s friends.

Su Yue shook her head. “I stay near here. So, I came here alone to take a walk.”

Wang Yuexiang replied, “So, you stay in this area.”

Su Yue nodded.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wang Yuexiang continued, “There is a piano competition in the shopping mall. Beibei is taking part so I’m here with him.”

“That’s great.” Su Yue glanced at Beibei. The handsome boy carried an aura of impishness. She smiled at him and encouraged him. “Good luck.”
