Actually, there was no need for an introduction; Lu Wanwan could recognize him imdiately.
It’s just that they all told her Xie Liancheng would only arrive tonight, and it was still the afternoon.
"I suppose Mr. Liancheng rushed back upon hearing Miss Lu was coming, earlier than planned," Mo Han said blandly. "My apologies for not giving a heads-up and bringing her over directly."
"You’re Ye Jing’s daughter..." Xie Liancheng seed not to have heard what Mo Han said. The hurried steps he had taken when he first entered now seed almost immovable after the initial shock.
He walked step by step toward them, his eyes filled with disbelief yet brimming with excitent.
"It’s unmistakable, it has to be you." Xie Liancheng approached slowly, his voice like a murmur to himself, "You’re her daughter, no doubt about it. You look so much like her..."
"Hello, Mr. Xie." Lu Wanwan looked at him calmly and extended her hand, "I’m Lu Wanwan, and my mother is indeed Ye Jing."
Xie Liancheng, for a mont, almost forgot to extend his hand.
Only after a while did he quickly say, "Sit, please sit down, no need to be formal."
As he spoke, he imdiately instructed the servants to serve tea and snacks.
"Miss Lu, Mr. Liancheng probably finds it hard to believe at first."
"Mr. Mo." Lu Wanwan sat down, speaking unhurriedly, "I believe Mr. Liancheng must have things he wants to say. I also have many questions, because my mother never ntioned this na. Thank you for bringing here, but since this matter doesn’t concern you, please excuse yourself for the ti being."
Mo Han was taken aback and gave Lu Wanwan a cold glance where Xie Liancheng couldn’t see.
"Mo Han, you may leave," Xie Liancheng uttered.
Unlike his earlier loss of composure, even saying sothing so ordinary was full of authority.
Mo Han slightly nodded, "Yes, I shall leave now, Mr. Liancheng. I will inform you once Mr. Xiao arrives."
Before leaving, he caught Lu Wanwan’s gaze looking directly at him and shot her a harsh look in return.
This woman probably wouldn’t be content to follow his directions, not adhering to what he initially planned.
Mo Han left with a gloomy face; if this woman didn’t comply, he would have to think of ways to make her more obedient.
"I really apologize." After Mo Han left, Xie Liancheng reverted to an ordinary middle-aged man’s state, looking at Lu Wanwan with an apologetic gaze. "Usually, I stay here and seldom travel far. This ti, I didn’t know due to so private issue I went to California and t a friend, which delayed . When I heard Xiao Ye’s call, I was very surprised. Had I known..."
"There’s no need for politeness, Mr. Liancheng, you’ve been very considerate," Lu Wanwan replied calmly. "It was my abrupt arrival."
"Lu Wanwan, is it?" Xie Liancheng personally placed the teaware just brought by the servant in front of her; his fingers even trembled slightly. "Your mother, how has she been all these years?"
Lu Wanwan was startled and looked at him.
It’s no wonder he wasn’t aware of her existence; after so many years, did he really not know her mother was no longer in this world?
But judging from the expression he had when he first saw her, other things aside, her mother must have been very important to him, she was certain.
Why could soone so important go for so many years without any word or inquiry?
"You didn’t know anything?" Lu Wanwan couldn’t believe it. "Over twenty years, you’ve never had any news about my mother?"
