Ye Qiu didn’t expect Li Wen Yin to find her so quickly. Looking at this woman whose eyes were blurred with tears, reluctant to blink as she gazed at her, Ye Qiu suddenly felt a softness in her heart.
"Hello, are you a student at this school? I’m looking for my daughter here, but my phone died and I got lost. Could you please help ?" Li Wen Yin tried to control her emotions as she spoke.
Beside her, Qin Guo looked at her, then at Ye Qiu, who bore a five to six point resemblance to her, her mouth agape.
"Sure, which departnt is your daughter in?" Ye Qiu smiled gently.
"The Art Departnt." Li Wen Yin spoke, but her gaze never left Ye Qiu for a mont.
"Could you tell your daughter’s na, ma’am?"
"Shen Jingshu."
"Ah! You’re Shen Jingshu’s mom!" Qin Guo exclaid, "No wonder she’s so beautiful; her mom is a great beauty too!"
Her words instantly broke through Li Wen Yin’s sorrow, making her chuckle lightly, "You have such a sweet tongue, how about Auntie treats you to a al?"
"Oh, that would be so embarrassing." Qin Guo smiled sweetly.
"It’s only right. You’re helping find my daughter, so let treat you to a al. By the way, what are your nas?" Li Wen Yin smiled at Ye Qiu.
"I’m Qin Guo, and this is my good friend Ye Qiu. Auntie, Shen Jingshu is quite famous at our school. Let’s go over to the Art Departnt and ask around." Qin Guo said eagerly, thinking to herself that although Shen Jingshu seed cold and aloof, her mom was warm and kind.
"Thank you so much."
"Where are you from, Ye Qiu? Don’t bla Auntie for being abrupt. I just feel a connection with you. I didn’t expect to randomly et soone on the street who looks so much like ." Li Wen Yin unintentionally probed.
Ye Qiu knew her intentions but willingly went along, thinking that her biological mother, like herself, hadn’t had an easy life.
Years ago, her own daughter was kidnapped by criminals, her health was frail, and her husband prioritized the family business, causing her sorrow for three years.
But everyone knew the daughter brought back three years later wasn’t hers, except her. She was wholeheartedly compensating Shen Jingshu, only to find out it had been a charade from start to finish.
Her husband, son, and adopted daughter, under the guise of doing what’s best for her, were actually harming her. If anyone had cared a bit more, they wouldn’t have let it go, leading to Li Wen Yin’s heart turning cold when she learned the truth years later.
She resented her husband, knowing why their daughter was kidnapped. Even when their family was attacked at the ti, why wasn’t there a search later? Why was he so sure their biological daughter was gone?
She resented her son and adopted daughter, too, for knowing the truth but not telling her. She could have t her daughter sooner.
When she learned later that her son and adopted daughter developed feelings for each other, she opposed it. Even without blood ties, they were like siblings for over ten years. It’s incestuous! What about their reputation?
But no one listened to her, thinking she was being unreasonable.
She later married Song Tianji, a marriage Li Wen Yin opposed, sensing his feelings for Shen Jingshu, known to everyone, were not sincere. How could she believe he’d genuinely care for Ye Qiu?
Unfortunately, at that ti, Ye Qiu was blind to it and wouldn’t heed the warning. Li Wen Yin thought since her daughter liked him, she’d protect her. But sotis things aren’t as simple as they seem.
Reflecting on the past, Ye Qiu’s attitude towards Li Wen Yin beca more gentle. They hadn’t done anything wrong, yet ended up as villains.
"Auntie, I’m from F Province." She replied with a smile.
"F Province isn’t that far. How did you end up studying here?"
"Two reasons: one, C University is great; and two, my brother graduated from here as well."
"You have a brother? That’s nice, brothers tend to spoil their sisters."
"Yes, my brother spoils a lot. He often says he’s grateful my grandmother braved the snow that day."
"What do you an by that?"
"I was an abandoned orphan, picked up by my grandmother in the snow." Ye Qiu said with a smile, without a hint of gloom in her eyes. It was clear she lived a happy life.
Li Wen Yin was genuinely moved. She’s an orphan? Could it really be such a coincidence?
"How old were you then?" Li Wen Yin asked, her breath sowhat hurried.
"According to my grandmother, I was about two to three months old."
It matched! Everything lined up!
Li Wen Yin’s eagerness was mixed with hesitation. She felt an instinctual connection to the girl in front of her, but back then, her husband had brought back soone who was clearly Jingshu! Where did it go wrong?
"From your look, your adoptive parents treat you well, don’t they?" She diverted her gaze, asking.
Ye Qiu smiled sweetly, "Yes, my parents and grandmother treat very well, even better than my brother. My brother isn’t jealous at all and treats even better."
"That’s wonderful!" Li Wen Yin couldn’t help but smile more broadly, "Have you ever thought about finding your biological parents?"
"I’ve thought about it, but I believe in fate."
"Don’t you resent them?"
"Not really, since I’ve never t them. Maybe they didn’t an to lose . Besides, if I hadn’t been apart from them, I wouldn’t have t my grandmother, brother, and my parents."
Seeing her smiling brightly, Li Wen Yin knew this child was raised with love, and she couldn’t help but smile more comfortably.
"I found out Shen Jingshu is probably practicing piano in the music room now. We can go straight there to find her." Qin Guo ca over to say.
"Okay, thank you so much, classmate."
"Mom? What are you doing here?" Seeing Li Wen Yin, Shen Jingshu looked surprised.
"I was passing by your school and thought I’d drop in. But my phone died, so I had these two helpful students bring here."
Shen Jingshu followed her mom’s gaze, then slightly froze for a mont, but quickly changed her expression, "Thank you to both students, sorry to trouble you."
"There’s no need to thank us, it’s our pleasure." Qin Guo curiously looked at the legendary beauty on campus, but in comparison, she still thought Ye Qiu was the most beautiful.
"Are you busy right now?" Li Wen Yin asked her.
"Not at all, Mom."
"Then let’s treat these two students to a al to thank them."
"Okay, let pack up."
Shen Jingshu packed her violin into its case. Normally calm, her hands trembled slightly at that mont. She pursed her lips, was it finally happening? How did her mom find out? Would she bla her?
Could this girl who looked so much like her mom be the real Eldest Lady of the Shen Family, whom she had replaced for over ten years?
