304: Mom also saw it

The mother and daughter didn't speak a word on the way to the port. Xu Yao still snuggled up to Lin Meixian as before.

Several times, Lin Meixian wanted to speak but held back.

Some things just can't be said.

The topic of security was the bank card that Lin Meixian had given her earlier. When they were about to reach the port, Lin Meixian took the initiative to ask Xu Yao:

"Yaoyao, did you use the money in the card to pay off your debts?"

Xu Yao shook her head: "Mom, I have saved all your money. I can earn money to pay off the debt myself."

Everything Xu Yao said to Wen Yiyi today was true. She is now fully focused on her career. As long as her career is doing well, why would she be afraid of having no money?

After continuing to live broadcast on Orca for a while, Xu Yao will start selling products again.

As for the short dramas, although they have just been launched on the platform, the data are very good. It is certain that they will make money, but I don’t know how much money exactly.

Seeing Xu Yao so confident, Lin Meixian was happy and confused at first.

Yaoyao is so capable, so isn't she useless as a mother?

Xu Yao now wanted to ask Lin Meixian why she married Wen Zhicheng, and whether it was related to Xu Qinghua's death. The driver Qiangzi was still there, so Xu Yao endured it again.

——I’ll ask you later when we worship!

It was already evening when we arrived at the port.

It was from this port that Xu Qinghua boarded the ship four years ago.

Xu Qinghua said he was going to board a luxury international cruise ship to win over a major client. Unexpectedly, he never came back.

The boarding area was strictly managed, and Lin Meixian and Xu Yao paid tribute to Xu Qinghua from a distance.

Both mother and daughter recalled the warm memories of when Xu Qinghua was still alive.

"Mom, why did you marry Uncle Wen? Don't lie to me, Uncle Wen is good to you. We just finished worshipping Dad, and Dad might be listening to what you said."

Xu Yao spoke unexpectedly. Lin Meixian had not yet recovered from the beauty of the past and was stunned by Xu Yao's question.

Lin Meixian wanted to prevaricate a few more words, but Xu Yao looked at her quietly, with a pair of eyes filled with inquiry, admiration, and even grief!

Obviously, Xu Yao didn't want to hear lies anymore.

Lin Meixian lowered her head and sighed, "At that time, I thought about the debt your father owed and that he had to pay it back. Once the Xu family went bankrupt, everyone would avoid us, mother and daughter. Even your engagement would be in jeopardy. I..."

From what Lin Meixian said, she remarried Wen Zhicheng in order to pay off Xu Qinghua's debts and to provide support for Xu Yao?

Xu Yao had thought about this possibility before, but hearing it from Lin Meixian's mouth in person was a different feeling.

Xu Yao couldn't help shedding tears.

"mom--"

Xu Yao blamed herself for not being capable enough and also for being too concerned about face in the past.

In fact, after doing live streaming to sell goods and filming cheesy videos, Xu Yao realized that if she wanted to become famous quickly, she had to take risks.

The more pretentious she is, the slower she becomes famous. She never showed her face in the first three years of her self-media work, and the number of fans she accumulated in those three years was not as much as the number she gained after showing her face for a month.

If she had been able to film a video showing her face earlier, would Lin Meixian not have to marry Wen Zhicheng?

Xu Yao had a thousand words stuck in her throat. Lin Meixian held her hand to comfort her, but was suddenly bumped from behind.

When Lin Meixian looked up, a figure had already disappeared in the crowds of people at the port!

Lin Meixian's eyes widened.

Xu Yao didn't care about crying anymore. She was anxious to help Lin Meixian stand steadily. Seeing that Lin Meixian looked strange, Xu Yao was anxious: "Mom, are you okay?"

Lin Meixian slowly shook her head: "I'm fine, I just...saw a familiar figure..."

That back view really looks like Xu Qinghua.

Lin Meixian tried to hold back but couldn't help it. She broke free from Xu Yao's support and chased after her.

“Qinghua, Qinghua!”

Lin Meixian screamed a few times and stumbled.

The tourists at the port turned around to look at Lin Meixian, but none of them was Xu Qinghua. Lin Meixian was so anxious that she was sweating.

Xu Yao squeezed next to Lin Meixian, and Lin Meixian burst into tears: "Yaoyao, I think I saw your father. I will never mistake that back figure, it's your father! Four years ago, the police didn't find your father's body. Do you think he is still alive?"

Xu Yao was still relatively calm.

"Mom, there are a lot of people in this world who look like you. It's just a silhouette from behind. That's not Dad."

The back looks like Xu Qinghua, someone Xu Yao had just seen last night.

Fu Hong's lover, Mr. An, not only looks like her from behind, but also has a similar voice.

Mr. An reminded Xu Yao of her father, but she calmed down after a night of reflection.

Seeing that Lin Meixian was still dazed, Xu Yao held Lin Meixian's hand even tighter: "If Dad were still alive, how could he not come back to see us for four years? Would he be able to watch others bully us? Would he be able to watch you remarry and marry someone else?"

Reality is not fiction, there are not so many melodramatic stories about people jumping into the sea and losing their memories!

Xu Yao originally wanted to advise Lin Meixian to be more practical, but Lin Meixian felt like she was struck by lightning after hearing her words.

——If Qinghua is really still alive and finds out that she has married Wen Zhicheng, how can Qinghua come back?!

Lin Meixian's face was pale and her legs were weak. She fell backward limply and Xu Yao almost couldn't hold her up.

In the end, it was Qiangzi who helped, and together with Xu Yao, they helped Lin Meixian into the car.

…

Lin Meixian is sick.

The illness is quite serious.

Unable to catch up with the figure, Lin Meixian's mood fluctuated greatly and she broke out in a sweat. The wind from the port blew and she got a fever before she even got home.

Xu Yao sent Lin Meixian directly to the hospital.

Fever can be treated with antipyretics, but Lin Meixian's mental state is even more worrying. Her face is pale and she looks listless.

During the process, Wen Zhicheng called many times, but Lin Meixian didn't answer.

Wen Zhicheng called Xu Yao again to ask where they were.

Xu Yao glanced at Lin Meixian who was receiving an IV drip. "Uncle Wen, Mom wants to stay with me tonight and won't be going back. She's worried that Yiyi will be upset if she sees her. A couple of days will help Yiyi calm down."

Wen Zhicheng really wanted to vomit blood.

The person who was beaten was Wen Yiyi. As a father, he hasn't settled the score with Xu Yao yet, but Lin Meixian is still angry?

However, this may not be what Lin Meixian herself wants. It is probably because Xu Yao does not want Lin Meixian to return to the Wen family, fearing that Wen Yiyi will vent her anger on Lin Meixian.

Thinking of Xu Yao's momentum today, Wen Zhicheng also knew that Lin Meixian now had a backer, and swallowed the surging anger abruptly: "Hey... then you take good care of your mother, tell her not to worry about Yiyi, I'll take care of the family matters!"

"Yeah, I'll tell her."

Xu Yao said a few perfunctory words to Wen Zhicheng and hung up the phone.

There were no outsiders in the ward, so Xu Yao sat down beside Lin Meixian's bed. "Dad is really gone. Even if he were, it's not wrong for you to remarry after four years of no news. I don't have that kind of feudal thinking, and neither should you. I only care about whether you are happy now. I still say what I said before. If you don't want to live with Uncle Wen anymore, I support your decision."

Lin Meixian said that she and Wen Zhicheng were in business partnership and the two were inseparable.

Xu Yao didn't care.

What business could be more important than a mother’s happiness?
