On the other side.
Madam Bai brought Qiao Mianmian to the kitchen. When the busy people saw her, they immediately greeted her respectfully. “Madam.”
Madam Bai nodded and said to them, “You guys do what you need to do. Don’t worry about me.”
She pulled Qiao Mianmian aside and gestured for her to sit at the kitchen table.
Then, she turned around and put on an apron. She smiled and said to Qiao Mianmian, “Mianmian, if you have anything you want to eat, tell me. I’m good at normal home-cooked dishes. It’s okay if I don’t know how to cook, I can learn on the spot. As long as it’s something you like, I can make it for you.”
Qiao Mianmian was shocked to see that Madam Bai wanted to cook for her. She quickly stood up and said, “Auntie, how could I let you cook for me?”
She had thought that Madam Bai had brought her here for a meal.
Madam Bai walked up to her and patted her hand gently. Her eyes were full of love and concern. “Why not? Auntie likes you, so what if I cook for you? Mianmian, when I see you, I feel like I’m looking at my Little Seven. When I think about how my Little Seven might still be suffering outside, I feel terrible. Why did I give my precious Little Seven away back then? No matter how dangerous it is, I should have brought her along.
“Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been separated for so long.
“Whenever I think about this, I feel terrible.”
As Madam Bai spoke, her eyes reddened and her voice choked.
Qiao Mianmian was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Madam Bai was about to cry, she panicked. “Auntie, don’t-don’t be sad. I believe you had no choice but to give her away back then. Perhaps that family treated her well too. She’s living quite well now.
“Besides, aren’t you still searching for her? I think the two of you will definitely reunite one day.”
“Will we?” Madam Bai held her hand tightly and looked at her steadily. “Do you think that we will be reunited one day?”
“Of course.” Qiao Mianmian didn’t know if they could reunite again, but she didn’t want to see Madam Bai continue being sad. Hence, under Madam Bai’s expectant gaze, she said with certainty, “I believe it will.
“God knows how much you miss your daughter. He will definitely let you and your daughter reunite.”
“But…” Madam Bai looked at her with guilt in her eyes. “When the time es, she’ll definitely blame me. Even if we reunite, she won’t acknowledge me as her mother, right?”
No matter what difficulties she had in the past.
It was a fact that she had handed her daughter over to someone else, causing the mother and daughter to be separated for more than ten years.
“I think if you really had your own difficulties back then, she should be able to understand. If you weren’t forced to, which mother would give their own child away? Besides, Auntie, you’ve been searching for her for more than ten years, which proves that you really had your own reasons back then. So, as long as Auntie is willing to tell her about what happened back then and treat her better in the future, she won’t reject her biological mother, right?”
“Really? Do you think so, Mianmian?”
