But when she returned empty-handed and gave up all hope, her daughter unexpectedly came to her again after many twists and turns.

Ouyang Mingyue's eyes suddenly turned red. She wanted to reach out and hug the girl in front of her and ask how her daughter had been doing over the years, but she was afraid of scaring her and hesitated to take any action.

Bai Ying didn't know why the other party didn't say anything, so she could only ask one more question, "Um, can you give me back my jade pendant?"

Ouyang Mingyue subconsciously returned the jade pendant to Bai Ying.

"etc."

Seeing that Bai Ying was about to leave, Ouyang Mingyue reached out and grabbed Bai Ying's sleeve without any hesitation, not wanting her to leave like this.

It seemed that once they left, they would be separated for many years.

Bai Ying turned around, puzzled, and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"I……"

Ouyang Mingyue finally regained her composure. She smiled, not even a trace of her earlier despair. "I heard you're a student at Peking University, right? Peking University is in a state of disrepair right now, and I happen to have some spare money on hand that I'd like to donate to Peking University. Could you introduce me to someone?"

"Okay, okay!"

Bai Ying nodded happily and said, "What's your name?"

"Just call me Ms. Ou."

"Okay Ms. Ou."

The two agreed to meet tomorrow.

Ouyang Mingyue left the Shen family. She had no connection with the Shen family in the first place, so she naturally would not stay to celebrate Shen's father's birthday, not to mention that Ji Changbin, a person she didn't want to see at all, was in the living room.

Bai Ying returned to the reception room with a lot of doubts in her heart.

strangeness……

For some reason, she seemed to feel an instinctive closeness to the woman just now.

——

The next day.

Bai Ying had just finished school at noon and waited for Ouyang Mingyue at the school gate.

Ouyang Mingyue is obviously almost forty years old, and I don’t know if it’s because she knows how to dress up or because she is well-maintained, but she looks like she is only thirty years old at most.

The two standing together look more like sisters than mother and daughter.

Bai Ying stared at Ouyang Mingyue for a long time, and finally said in surprise: "You, you are!"

"What's wrong with me..."

Ouyang Mingyue's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she thought her true identity had been discovered.

She was very scared that once her true identity was discovered, Bai Ying would not want to have any contact with her.

After all... no matter what, it was because she didn't take good care of Bai Ying that she lost Bai Ying.

She didn't want Bai Ying to think that she had abandoned her and stay away from her from then on, so she concealed her identity and approached Bai Ying.

Who would have thought that the next moment Bai Ying would say:

"Ms. Ou, don't you remember? We've met before!"
