Chapter 186 - Two Attitudes

“Madam, don’t be anxious. A child who just learned of her true parentage would most likely feel like they were abandoned and would hate their parents. And she’s only eighteen this year, she’s still in a rebellious stage.”

The female servant gently consoled her. She was an old nanny in the villa who everyone called ‘Mama Wu.’

“How can she say we abandoned her?” Tan Yalan raised her eyebrows in anger, making her appear harsh and unkind. “I went through nine months of pregnancy to bring her out in this world. With that alone, she’s hugely indebted to us. Moreover, we lost her by accident. Now that we’re taking her back to the Yu family to enjoy the riches, she’s unwilling?”

Seeing her madam’s manner, Mama Wu sighed.

After all, she had worked here for a long time and she had her sources of news.

The Yu family’s company ran into trouble lately. Another prominent family in the city, the Li family offered to help, but the condition was that the two families entered an alliance marriage.

But the young master of the Li family was a silly one. Yu Shiwei of the Yu family, on the other hand, was famous for being a perfect miss in North City. With her haughty personality, how could she possibly be willing to marry that silly young master?

Furthermore, they had given up looking for this Second Miss over ten years ago. Now, they’re anxiously seeking her back... Wasn’t their intention obvious?

Although she felt that it wasn’t quite right, she was but a servant. She watched First Miss grow up, so she would feel it’s unfair to see the girl marry a silly young master.

But then again, towards the Second Miss who was about to return, this seemed...

“Madam, you need to talk things over slowly. After all, it’s been years. Why don’t we check out the sort of people Second Miss’s adoptive parents are first?”

Mama Wu’s words reminded Tan Yalan.

Her voice grew sharp all of a sudden. “Mama Wu, you’re right. I’ll send someone to look. I want to see how her adoptive parents taught her, for her to say things like her biological parents are dead. How immoral must her adoptive parents be? They are probably afraid that her biological parents would find her one day. How can I allow them to teach my child in such a way?!”

She redirected her anger towards Gu Qingjiu towards her adoptive parents.

Mama Wu’s lips slightly parted, as if she wanted to say something. But ultimately, she said nothing.

Tan Yalan waved a hand. “Forget it. Mama Wu, I’d better take a look at it myself. Didn’t Hu Yan say that she’s in the military right now? Since we have no business dealings and connections in Dayi City and that she’s in the military too, it won’t be easy to see her. I’d better see her adoptive parents first and then take action from there.”

Her words made the solution clear. Mama Wu nodded and replied, “Do you need someone to accompany you? I’ll ask Old Hong to book your flight tickets first.”

Old Hong was her husband, and also the housekeeper of the Yu family.

Tan Yalan nodded. “Okay. Keep an eye on your phone. I refuse to believe that after I meet her adoptive parents, she would still refuse to see me. If she calls back, notify me. I’ll go to Dayi City first to check on their background.”

“Okay, Madam.”

Mama Wu responded. Something suddenly struck her. “Miss said she has an appointment tonight and won’t be coming back for dinner.”

At the mention of Yu Shiwei, Tan Yalan had a rebuking look in her eyes. “Even if that child finds out that she need not enter an alliance marriage, she shouldn’t make it so obvious.”

But from her voice, she clearly sounded indulging.

It was a stark contrast compared to how stern she was towards Gu Qingjiu.
