The maid: "I have an older sister and an older brother, I am the third in the family, with a younger brother and two younger sisters below ." Under Fang Su’s unblinking gaze, the maid felt a tightness in her heart, a bit uneasy, and asked, "Madam, did I do sothing wrong? Please tell , and I’ll change it!"
Shaking her head, Fang Su spoke: "No, you go ahead and be busy!"
...
A few days passed in a flash, and today, Fang Su made a bold decision, to acknowledge the maid as the child she had prematurely given birth to years ago.
After all, it has been more than twenty years, if she said the maid was her child, then she was. Regarding the maid’s family, just give them so sweeteners, wouldn’t they be at her rcy?
Moreover, the maid was soone she picked up from the street during the New Year.
Feverish, collapsed on the ground, not a penny on her. Not knowing why, she, who usually did not ddle in other people’s business, had a rare mont of kindness, instructing the driver to stop the car and take the person to the hospital first. Later, when she learned the girl had nowhere to go, and thinking she just happened to need a maid at ho, she brought her back.
"Madam, did you need for sothing?"
The maid was washing clothes. Upon hearing Fang Su’s voice, the owner of the house, she quickly wiped her hands on her apron and hurried to the master bedroom.
"Sit."
Looking at the maid in front of her, Fang Su’s eyes gradually reddened, her voice hoarse: "Child, sit down."
The maid shook her hands repeatedly: "No, no, Madam, whatever you need to say to , I can listen while standing."
"You... listen, sit down quickly. I have sothing very important to tell you..." The words had not yet left her mouth, but tears were already streaming from Fang Su’s eyes: "Child, have a seat!"
"Madam, don’t cry, I’ll sit, I’ll sit now."
The maid’s mind was filled with confusion, not knowing what was wrong with the lady of the house. She seed very out of sorts.
"Chunxia..."
"Ah? Madam, I’m here!"
Wasn’t the lady always calling her "Xiao Xu"? Why is she calling her by her na today, and in such a fond voice?
"Chunxia, my daughter..." Sitting by the bedside, at this mont, Fang Su stood up, took a few steps to the maid, and embraced her.
The maid was Xu Chunxia, once a good friend of Kang Li. Hearing the lady calling her "Chunxia," she stood up in shock.
"Madam... Madam, I’m... I’m not your daughter. My last na is Xu, I’m Xu Chunxia, my ho is in Aoli Village, I..."
Held in Fang Su’s embrace, Xu Chunxia’s body was stiff.
"Child, you are my daughter, back then..."
Fang Su repeated the lie she had told to Lawyer Wang, albeit with slight alterations. Afterwards, with a pained expression, she stroked Xu Chunxia’s face: "It’s all mom’s fault, letting you suffer all these years!"
Xu Chunxia ca to her senses, broke free from Fang Su’s embrace, and retreated step by step until her back was against the wall, shaking her head repeatedly: "Madam, you must be mistaken, I’m really not your daughter. I have parents, I have brothers and sisters..."
"Good child. Mom knows it’s hard for you to accept all at once, but take a good look at mom’s eyes and brows, then look in the mirror at yourself. Don’t you see our eyes and brows are exactly alike?"
Fang Su said this as if giving Xu Chunxia a psychological suggestion.
After spending not a short ti under the sa roof, she had already seen through the little maid thoroughly.
Sensitive and self-abased, for her to escape from ho, hopping a train to North City, one can well imagine she must not have had a good life at ho.
