After lunch, He Tiantian played games with them.
Seeing that it was almost five o'clock, she said, "Jimmy, Amy, do you want to pick Mom up from get off work?"
"Yes, I do!" Jimmy nodded. "Mom's workplace isn't far, and sometimes I hold my sister's hand and go to pick her up from get off work."
“Okay, let’s go over together and say hello to your mother. Angela and I are going back now.”
“Okay,” Jimmy and Amy replied at the same time.
He Tiantian, Qi Zhengmin, Amy, and Jimmy checked the house before locking the door and leaving.
Walking on the sidewalk, shaded by trees, it wasn't very hot!
The four of them chatted and laughed.
After passing through this area, you'll reach the affluent neighborhood.
The architecture there is more elegant, and the environment is more beautiful.
At that moment, several black cars were driving in a line on the road beside us.
He Tiantian turned to protect the three children, which allowed the people in the car to see her face.
"Miss!" a woman in her fifties exclaimed, "Look outside..."
However, the car was driving a bit too fast and had already overtaken He Tiantian by a considerable distance.
"Stop the car! Stop the car!" the woman said to the driver in front.
An elderly woman dressed in elegant attire squinted and frowned, asking, "Xianglan, what happened?"
"I saw a young woman who looks remarkably like you when you were young," the woman named Xianglan said hastily.
We're almost at the entrance, and the driver just happened to park the car there.
"Look, Miss, look." Chunlan had served the old lady since she was a child, so she had never changed her address and always called her Miss.
The elegant old woman wore a royal blue cheongsam, her gray hair was neatly styled into a bun adorned with precious jade jewelry, and she wore a fine Hetian jade bracelet on her wrist.
Following Xianglan's hand, the old lady looked at the little girl in a pink t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers not far away.
Mrs. Brown came out carrying her bag and saw her son, daughter, He Tiantian, and Qi Zhengmin, who had come to pick her up from get off work.
"I have to work today, otherwise I would definitely have hosted you at home," Mrs. Brown said with a hearty laugh. "How about I invite you another day when I'm off?"
“Okay!” He Tiantian said, “Now Jimmy, Amy is in your care. We should go back.”
"See you another day," Mrs. Brown said with a smile, waving goodbye to He Tiantian and Qi Zhengmin.
After Mrs. Brown led the children away, Qi Zhengmin tugged at He Tiantian's arm and said, "Sister Tiantian, there are two grandmas over there staring at you. Do you know them?"
"Huh?" He Tiantian was taken aback. "Impossible. I met your family on my first trip to America."
That's absolutely true. In both her past and present lives, she's only been to America once. Where would she know anyone?
"Oh!" Qi Zhengmin said, half believing and half doubting.
"Okay, let's go," He Tiantian said. "Grandma will worry if we go back too late."
After saying that, He Tiantian took Qi Zhengmin's hand and walked back to get into a car not far away.
"Miss, doesn't it look like her?" Chunlan asked. "Not only does her face look like hers, but her walking posture is also similar!"
“There are many people in the world who look alike, so don’t overthink it. It can’t be…” The old lady stopped, subconsciously wondering if it was her granddaughter.
However, thinking about this reminds me of old stories!
"Miss, you..." Xianglan knew her young mistress best. They had loved each other so passionately back then, but both of them were proud and aloof. They argued over some trivial matters in life, and that beautiful love was worn away by the daily grind of life.
“It’s all in the past.” Bai Qiongyu waved her hand. “While it was my father who asked me to go back, it was also because I was tired of my life at the time. My only regret is that I didn’t fulfill my responsibilities as a mother to my young son and didn’t raise him myself. As for He Jinming, I can only say that we are more suited to be lovers than husband and wife!”
"Alas!" Xianglan was greedy, but fate played a cruel trick on her.
The young lady didn't want to mention it because she was afraid that recalling the past would only cause her more sadness.
But for so many years, Miss has been thinking about her son and has been sending people to inquire about his whereabouts. However, due to the blockade imposed by China, she has not received any reliable information so far.
Given He Jinming's stubbornness, he would never allow a junior to come and visit the young lady.
Miss didn't want to investigate, but Xianglan felt it was necessary to.
For no other reason than that the little girl looked like a young lady.
Since the master passed away, the young lady inherited the Bai family's estate. Ten years ago, the son-in-law also passed away. The son-in-law had a son and a daughter, and they began to have ulterior motives, always thinking of seizing the young lady's property.
Rather than letting those two hypocritical people get away with it, it's better to find the prostitute's offspring.
Xianglan is a very traditional servant who values the continuation of bloodlines.
Alas, Miss is also a pitiful person. Even if she remarries, her son-in-law will resemble He Jinming.
This only shows that the young lady still has feelings for her former son-in-law, He Jinming.
Xianglan recognized the woman who was talking to He Tiantian; she was a new maid they had hired who was skilled in cooking. Since that was the case, they would start their investigation from there.
Xianglan did not directly ask Mrs. Brown about He Tiantian's situation. Instead, she instructed one of her trusted maids to get along well with Mrs. Brown and inquire about the situation.
Mrs. Brown was in the early stages of needing acceptance at her new workplace, and she was pleased with the maid's overtures. After spending some time together, they would also talk about family matters.
I finally learned some information about He Tiantian.
When Xianglan learned that He Tiantian's surname was "He", her heart skipped a beat. She had a premonition that this little girl with the surname He, who looked seven parts like her mistress, must be related to her.
Xianglan asked people to continue the investigation, and they were all trustworthy people left behind by the Bai family.
When Mrs. Brown was resting, she bought the ingredients and used her skills to cook a lot of delicious food. She then invited He Tiantian and Qi Zhengmin to come over for a meal.
Anna also invited Mrs. Brown to bring her two children to her home during her time off.
It must be said that Mrs. Brown was a very polite and kind person.
When I came, I brought some homemade snacks as gifts.
Jimmy and Amy, though dressed simply, were very clean and tidy.
What's remarkable is that he hit it off with Anna immediately, and the two had a lot to talk about.
From cooking to flower arranging, we've become good friends after spending several time together.
Mrs. Brown never considered herself a benefactor; they simply interacted normally.
On the contrary, it was precisely because of this that she won Anna and Qi Shuliang's gratitude and goodwill. If Mrs. Brown had any problems she couldn't handle, they would definitely not stand idly by. (To be continued.)
