"Xiaoxia? Xiaoxia!"
Just as Ye Yun was in a daze, a middle-aged man rushed in from outside.
The middle-aged man was dressed impeccably, with a white shirt underneath, a blue tie, and a light-colored suit jacket. He wore glasses and exuded a mature and refined air. His overseas-educated demeanor alone suggested that he was a wealthy and successful businessman.
He rushed to the woman's side, put his arm around her, and patiently coaxed her in a low voice, "Xiaoxia, these belong to someone else. Let's return them to them, and I'll buy you another one, okay?"
The woman remained silent, her red eyes filled with tears as she stared intently at Ye Yun.
She was so stubborn, staring at Ye Yun without moving, as if looking at her lover from a past life. The man seemed unable to do anything about her obstinacy, sighed, and looked up to discuss it with the owner of the dress.
However, when he saw Ye Yun's appearance, he was visibly stunned for a moment.
"you……"
He uttered only one word before the light in his eyes dimmed, turning into a heavy sigh. Composing himself, he said apologetically to Ye Yun, "Excuse me, ma'am, look at this dress... could you let me have it? Or, I can buy it from you and pay double the price."
Ye Yun stared at him for several seconds before saying calmly, "May I ask how you are addressed, sir?"
"Forehead……"
The man looked slightly taken aback, seemingly surprised by her abruptness, but he still nodded politely, took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it to Ye Yun, saying, "My name is Mu Jingsheng. This is my business card. If you need anything, I can help you with something, as long as you can give me this dress."
Ye Yun looked at the three characters 'Mu Jingsheng' on the business card and suddenly realized what it meant.
"Oh...it's Mu, not Mu."
She reached out and took the business card. It wasn't as heavy as she had imagined; it was just a small, thin business card.
Qin Zheng noticed something was wrong with Ye Yun and called out softly, "Wife..."
Ye Yun immediately came to her senses.
She smiled generously, glanced at the red dress in her hand, and handed it to the woman. Looking at the woman's reddened eyes, she said softly, "This dress is really beautiful. We have similar tastes, so I'll give it to you."
The woman stared blankly at her, her tear-filled eyes fixed on her with such clarity.
Yet, he still didn't say a word.
Mu Jingsheng took out his wallet from his pocket, asked the salesperson about the price, and then counted out the money according to the double price the salesperson had mentioned earlier.
He handed the money to Ye Yun, but when he saw her face, he couldn't help but lose his composure.
“What a coincidence, you and my lover look a bit alike…” He embraced his lover beside him, looking deeply into Ye Yun’s eyes, as if he could see past memories through her.
If that child hadn't had that accident back then, he'd probably be about the same age as the girl in front of you now.
Unfortunately, his wife was pregnant with a boy that year. In order to marry her, he even took her to have an ultrasound scan, which had just been introduced from abroad at the time.
However, even after his elders learned that his sweetheart was carrying a boy, they still opposed their marriage.
She even forced him to marry other women.
That incident directly led to his beloved leaving him in anger.
When she reappeared before him, she was in a daze, and the child in her womb was nowhere to be found.
Everyone around said that the child was definitely dead.
How could a woman with mental disabilities possibly have the ability to take care of her child?
He didn't want to give up, but he searched many places and even secretly sent people to his lover's hometown to inquire, but unfortunately there was no news.
Memories flooded back, and a deep sense of regret finally welled up in the man's eyes.
"No."
Ye Yun saw the regret in the man's eyes and smiled wryly. So what was he regretting?
She gently pushed away the money the man offered. At that moment, she didn't feel the excitement she had expected when she found a close relative. Instead, it felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.
"These are for you."
She said only that one sentence, then took Qin Zheng's hand and turned to leave.
Only when Ye Yun had gone quite a distance did Ye Xia suddenly wake up as if from a dream and start looking for Ye Yun's figure. Her innocent and clear eyes searched for Ye Yun everywhere, and she broke free from Mu Jingsheng's restraint to chase after her.
Mu Jingsheng quickly hugged her and gently coaxed, "Xiaoxia...Xiaoxia, don't get agitated, that's not our child, that's not..."
Ye Xia's eyes turned red with anxiety, and she frantically reached out to grab Ye Yun's figure.
She was too excited to speak, her mouth agape as she gasped for breath, tears blurring her vision. Despite the man in front of her desperately trying to stop her, she strained with all her might to grab Ye Yun. Finally, a powerful voice broke through her turmoil, a hoarse whisper escaping from her stiff throat: "My...my daughter..."
Mu Jingsheng thought she was talking nonsense again, so he coaxed her, "Xiaoxia, that's not our daughter, you're confused again, that's our son!"
"My daughter, my daughter..."
Ye Xia stared blankly as Ye Yun disappeared completely into the crowd. Suddenly, she lost all her strength and slowly collapsed to the ground. Overwhelmed with grievance, the veins on her forehead bulged. Heartbroken, she looked in the direction Ye Yun had left, and large tears fell silently.
She suddenly grabbed Mu Jingsheng's arm tightly and gestured anxiously with both hands.
"My daughter... is that big... my daughter... is only that big..."
She frantically gestured to Mu Jingsheng, her words tumbling out incoherently. She pointed in the direction Ye Yun had left, but Mu Jingsheng didn't move. Enraged, she lost control and started hitting Mu Jingsheng's chest and scratching his face.
Mu Jingsheng was already astonished, and an absurd thought had already risen in his mind.
Could it be that the child was a girl?
But when he asked someone to inquire in Yejiagou back then, they said directly that Ye Xia had never gone back, let alone had given birth.
Has he been scammed again?
Mu Jingsheng suddenly remembered that his family had repeatedly prevented him from getting back together with Ye Xia during that time. His people must have been bribed by his family!
Mu Jingsheng snapped out of his daze and shouted, "Quick! Go after those people!"
His secretary hurriedly chased after Ye Yun. Mu Jingsheng helped Ye Xia up and comforted her, "Xia, let's go find her. I'll take you to find our daughter. Let's go!"
...
Ye Yun and Qin Zheng returned to the transport team around dark. Once back, she acted as usual, throwing the newly bought clothes into the newly bought basin and setting up a small stool to wash them first.
The business card in her jacket pocket fell out as she bent over, and she picked it up gently.
She gazed at the three characters 'Mu Jingsheng' above, her fingertips gently tracing their outlines. Thinking of the woman's excited face when she saw her, a surge of emotion welled up within her, bringing tears to her eyes, yet she suddenly burst into laughter…
