Chapter 105: Chapter 105: An Old Acquaintance Seems Familiar (Part 1)
“Pretty sister.”
Just as Mu Ruyue left the venue, a figure pounced towards her, fiercely colliding into her embrace, with Xiao Qingqing lifting her watery eyes to gaze at Mu Ruyue.
“Sister, why didn’t you co to see Qingqing?”
For so reason, seeing this girl rush into her arms, Mu Ruyue’s heart couldn’t help but soften.
“Qingqing, you must not be impolite.”
An elegant reprimand ca from behind them, and then Madam Sheng Yue, dressed in a goose-yellow muslin dress, approached with a smile, her steps exceedingly graceful, like a true noble, exuding an air of nobility all around.
...
“Yue’er, the news of that day’s competition has already spread throughout the entire city,” Madam Sheng Yue said with a gracious smile playing on her lips, her eyes full of affection as she looked at the young girl before her, “I had not expected Yue’er to be such a prodigy. It’s ridiculous how the Qin Family is so full of themselves.”
Having said this, Madam Sheng Yue slowly stepped forward, gently grasping Mu Ruyue’s hand, “Yue’er, rest assured, with here, not even the entire Alchemy Conference can touch you, let alone the Qin Family.”
Feeling the warmth of Madam Sheng Yue’s palm, Mu Ruyue felt warmth inside her, and her usually indifferent eyes gradually grew warr, “Then, I thank you, Madam.”
“Still calling Madam? Yue’er, why don’t you beco my daughter instead?”
Mu Ruyue looked at Madam Sheng Yue in surprise.
“Hehe,” Madam Sheng Yue chuckled softly, gently saying, “I ntioned to you the other day that I had a daughter before Qingqing was born, and she would be about your age now. Unfortunately, she was taken away by our Xiao Family’s enemies over a decade ago. They hurt my poor daughter just to strike at us. Now, seeing you, Yue’er, it’s as if I’m seeing my precious daughter…”
Madam Sheng Yue gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes and sighed faintly; she still did not know whether her own daughter was dead or alive, and that had beco her greatest pain.
“Pretty sister, it seems you really have beco Qingqing’s sister,” Xiao Qingqing, pulling on Mu Ruyue’s sleeve, her large eyes filled with excitent, “That ans Qingqing and the pretty sister are family now.”
Mu Ruyue, looking at the gentle face of Madam Sheng Yue, seed to think of her parents back in Huaxia, her eyes growing moist, “Mother…”
“Ah, my good child,” Madam Sheng Yue stepped forward to embrace Mu Ruyue, her eyes glistening with tears, “I don’t know why, but seeing you makes think of my daughter. I feel an inexplicable closeness to you, perhaps we had a connection in a past life, don’t you think?”
Just then, the people from the Qin Family walked out, eyeing Mu Ruyue and her group coldly, snorting through their nostrils.
“Sister, that is Madam Sheng Yue,” Qin Luo pulled Qin Feifei’s sleeve and said.
“What?” Qin Feifei was taken aback, her gaze towards Mu Ruyue now laced with so jealousy. Why could this woman catch Madam Sheng Yue’s eye? Could it be just because she saved Madam Sheng Yue’s daughter?
Madam Sheng Yue patted Mu Ruyue’s shoulder, her cold gaze sweeping over the erging mbers of the Qin Family. Her lips curled up into a sinister smile, “I’ve heard that the people of the Qin Family have been giving my newly adopted daughter a hard ti?”
Qin Feifei bit her lip, calming the jealousy in her heart, and her face showed a smile, “Madam Sheng Yue must be mistaken, we have not troubled her.”
