Xie Liancheng pondered for a mont, the teacup in his hand paused, and he said softly, "No, in the past twenty years, I have not set foot in Manchester, and all my capital has been withdrawn from China. After learning she got married, I never inquired about her again or concerned myself with any matters of the Ye Family. For both her and , this is the best outco."
He looked up, seeing the confusion on Lu Wanwan’s face, with a faint bitter smile at the corner of his lips.
"I never expected her daughter to be this grown-up; I never dared to think about these things before. So when I heard about you from Xiao Ye, I was truly surprised," Xie Liancheng’s voice was exceedingly gentle, "My reaction earlier was probably too abrupt; you look very much like her. It seems ti really can change everything. When I think of her, I always wish ti would stop..."
"Mr. Liancheng." Lu Wanwan saw his eyes lowered, filled with an inescapable heaviness.
This made her, soone who was forced to co, moved as well.
Lu Wanwan moved her lips, and what she needed to say next was hard to express.
He always thought that her mother was still alive, and for soone terminally ill, would it not be better if they could hold onto this belief until the end?
"I’m really sorry; usually no one can talk to about these things." Xie Liancheng shook his head with a smile, as if sowhat self-deprecating, and picked up the teacup, "But no matter the reason you’ve co to see this ti, I’m very happy. At the very least, if she let you co, she probably doesn’t hate as much anymore. It’s been so many years, and as long as she’s doing well, that’s the best outco."
"She..." Lu Wanwan hesitated, "Mr. Liancheng, my mother is no longer with us."
Clang—
The teacup in Xie Liancheng’s hand fell to the ground.
"No longer here..."
"My mother has passed away."
Xie Liancheng was taken aback for quite a while, looking at Lu Wanwan, "When did it happen?"
Lu Wanwan knew, Xie Liancheng must have thought her mother asked her to co before she died.
But before she passed, she never got to see her one last ti.
"It’s been ten years." Lu Wanwan’s voice was choking, "I never got to see her one last ti either."

Momo wandered outside the manor with a small backpack.
But this place was really too large; aside from that house, there were basically no obstacles.
He walked for a long ti to get close, but such a big house, is mommy really inside?
Even if he got in, how would he find her?
In the street surveillance, they scanned and found mommy had appeared in this nearby city, and the clue was about to break.
Then Brother Paul, with a probing mindset, hacked into the security system around here, among which a manor had the most robust security system.
After a great deal of effort, they obtained the manor’s surveillance, confirming that mommy was indeed brought here.
Momo ca all this way, seeing that mommy was inside, he definitely wouldn’t give up.
He carried a tracker, letting Brother Paul tell Brother Mu Bei their location, but he was afraid of alerting the bad guys.
After all, with mommy held hostage, even if Brother Mu Bei’s people ca, it would be useless.
Momo planned to find a way to sneak in, even if discovered, he was just a little kid. If he could be locked up with mommy, even if moved away, Brother Mu Bei would know where they were.
"It seems this Miss Lu is the daughter of Mr. Liancheng’s very close friend."
"Yes, I’ve never seen Mr. Liancheng so excited... Huh, who are you? Lisa, look, there’s a child here, looking so pitiful."
