She could only imagine that the woman in front of her was indeed her own daughter. A mother and daughter have a bond that defies rational understanding, and she had raised her from a young age. How could she possibly fail to recognize her?
But she has beco so beautiful.
So striking.
One could hardly recognize her at first glance.
She could only feel that, faced with her, words fell short in describing her beauty.
Seeing Ye Ning like this, if she were to walk down the street, she wouldn’t dare to recognize her.
"Oh my, Ning, you’re even more beautiful than... the movie stars I’ve seen on TV."
Ye Ning gave a dry laugh.
She thought to herself, thankfully they hadn’t seen each other in so many years that so unfamiliarity was to be expected.
While she did not have feelings for the original host’s mother, out of respect for the original host, she would treat her mother kindly. Now that she had inherited the original host’s body, she would handle her forr life responsibly, including taking care of her mother.
Xie Yuqin felt a burst of pride as she stood there, receiving the envious glances of those around her. How fortunate she was to have such a wonderful daughter, so pretty, so sophisticated...
In her opinion, her daughter looked richer and grander than those noble heiresses on TV.
"If you go back ho, no one would recognize you. All my aunts and cousins will be so envious when they know how well you are doing here."
Truth be told, she felt undeserving of such a wonderful daughter. Ye Ning’s intimidating deanor, which was the epito of nobility and elegance, made her feel as though they ca from completely different worlds. No one, not herself, nor anybody in the Ye family, could compare to her.
But then, Xie Yuqin rembered Ye Ning’s marriage.
"But Ning, I heard you got married, is that true?"
"Yes, it’s true," Ye Ning said as they continued walking.
"How did this happen? Were you forced into marriage? Oh, what kind of mother am I that I wasn’t able to protect you..."
Xie Yuqin thought that her family definitely wouldn’t have matched her with a good family. She knew Rong Lihua’s true colors all too well.
Ye Ning said, "I wouldn’t say I was forced."
She thought to herself, the original host had practically begged for it.
However, from her perspective, marriage was not sothing she had desired.
Xie Yuqin imdiately asked, "Then how co..." Xie Yuqin examined Ye Ning’s outfit, it looked quite expensive, and then turned to Ye Ning and asked, "Did you marry into a wealthy family?"
Mu Yeli... it wasn’t just wealth that defined him.
Ye Ning answered, "Yeah."
Xie Yuqin’s expression darkened and a sense of foreboding settled in her heart.
"Ning, even if we’re poor, we have to maintain our dignity. Marriage is a lifelong commitnt. You must not marry soone just for their money, you’ll regret it. There’s not a single good person in the Ye family. Even if you were young and naive, they still shouldn’t have deceived you."
Xie Yuqin worried that Ye Ning might have married so rich old man.
That was not acceptable, no matter how much money he had.
Ye Ning hadn’t stayed with her, so she feared Ye Ning might have been misled, deceived, or brainwashed...
Just then, Ye Ning’s phone rang.It was Mu Yeli.
"Did you pick up your mother?"
"Um, yes, I did."
"Then I’ll send soone to pick you guys up."
"Oh, co ho?"
"Of course, as the son-in-law, isn’t it my duty to welco and entertain you guys?"
Well, he had a point there. He was indeed fulfilling his obligations.
Xie Yuqin was still questioning, "Who is that?"
"Speaking of the devil, he said he wanted to welco you."
