In just a few words, Yue Lanxing felt she had received a lot of information. "You eloped too? Mother! Now that things have come to this, please tell me the whole story. I'm an adult now, and I can share this responsibility with you."
Yue Lanxing stood up and knelt down. "What are you doing? Get up." Wang Qingqing tried to pull him up, but she immediately pulled her hand back. It had become a habit of hers over the years.
Yue Lanxing knelt down because his mother couldn't help him up. "Mother!" Wang Qingqing had no choice but to sit down and tell him the story from back then. "You are not my child."
The news was explosive, and Yue Lanxing's eyes widened. "Don't you realize we don't look alike?" Wang Qingqing wanted to touch Yue Lanxing's head, but in the end she just waved her hand in the air.
Yue Lanxing nodded as he looked at his mother. He had noticed, but he had never doubted it. He just assumed that his father, whom he had never met, was good-looking. Who would have thought that the mother who raised him was not his biological mother?
"It should be the previous generation of the Yue family. There were three siblings: Yue Wenxing, Yue Wenzhi, and Yue Wenzhu. Yue Wenzhu was the youngest sister and also my daughter. When she was twenty-three years old, she met a schoolteacher, who was your father."
"However, their families disagreed, so the two of them eloped. It wasn't far, just in the suburbs. I was the young lady's maid, and I went wherever she went. We lived a life of luxury. Although the Yue family disagreed, they had already done so, so they just kept quiet."
Wang Qingqing rubbed her eyes and looked at Yue Lanxing again. After looking closely, she realized that the child was indeed a member of the Yue family, with the same eyebrows and eyes. "The incident happened when you were born. You know about your illness. When you were born, you looked like a little monster."
Wang Qingqing laughed as she spoke. She had endured all the hardships, but thinking back, it was truly difficult. Yue Lanxing saw tears in her mother's eyes and also remembered her childhood experiences, so she couldn't help but lower her head.
“Your father ran away, and Miss couldn’t bear it and wanted to commit suicide. I volunteered to raise you, but whether you live or die depends on God’s will. Miss returned to the Yue family to recuperate after giving birth due to insufficient blood and energy. So I took you to seek medical treatment from place to place.”
“I had almost forgotten about these things, but I didn’t expect you to run into me again.” Wang Qingqing wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. “Maybe this is fate. Here, take me to see the Second Young Master, and I will explain things to him.”
“Mother, no need, I’ll go and explain to them.” Yue Lanxing paused before speaking again, “I know you said some things to comfort me, but don’t worry, they just saw me at the banquet and that’s why they want to investigate.”
"I'll handle this. Since Mother knows Uncle Yue, I won't take her away today. I'll go cook, and I'll go back after we eat." Yue Lanxing staggered as she stood up, but steadied herself in the next second.
Wang Qingqing was still immersed in her emotions. She hadn't seen her young lady for over twenty years and wondered how she was doing. To be honest, she had thought about abandoning the child and returning to her young lady's side, but Lanxing had always been well-behaved since childhood. Perhaps knowing that she was sick, she wouldn't make a big fuss even if she had an attack.
She grew to love the child more and more as she raised it. If she hadn't asked her today, she would have thought it was her own child. Thinking of this, Wang Qingqing started wiping away her tears. She had thought that after the child was cured, she would take it back to Miss to see and make her happy. Why was she so sad at the last minute?
Yue Lanxing, who was in the kitchen, was also feeling heavy-hearted. If his mother had been ordered to bring him out for treatment, he wouldn't have been so upset just now. Perhaps he had been abandoned, but he didn't feel much resentment.
He is fortunate to have such a foster mother. He will explain things to the Yue family next time he sees them. The most important thing he has learned so far is to let go and calm down.
The meal was unpalatable, but Yue Lanxing told Wang Qingqing some funny stories to make her laugh before leaving.
Xu Zhaoyue held a meeting at the company today with Manager Hong from the Second Department of Western Medicine and Wang Tianding. Wang Tianding has changed his name to Xu Qian.
At this meeting, Manager Hong hoped to leverage Xu Zhaoyue's connections to procure a batch of ultrasound diagnostic equipment from outside sources.
"Manager Hong, it's very difficult to get ultrasonic scanning equipment even overseas. Has your department become proficient in operating all the equipment we imported before? As things stand, there's absolutely no need to worry about the anniversary celebration."
Xu Zhaoyue didn't believe Manager Hong's reasoning. In order to save face at the anniversary celebration, but before she came back, their department hadn't prepared any big moves, just some technical improvements.
"Isn't it because you've been leading the way? It's not really appropriate for our Second Department to keep using the equipment that's already been brought back from abroad. But I saw this technology in foreign newspapers. Who wouldn't want to see a medical breakthrough?"
"I seem to remember hearing about the successful technology development two years ago, but I didn't expect it to be produced so soon." Manager Hong's tone was somewhat complaining.
Xu Zhaoyue held her forehead with her hand. This matter was a bit strange, but it could be used as an opportunity. "I'll think about it some more. Even if I agree, the money is not a small amount, and I still need to submit a report to my superiors."
"Okay, okay, please reconsider. If there are any issues with the money, our second department still has R&D expenses." Manager Hong practically congratulated the second department as well.
After seeing them off, Xu Zhaoyue felt like she had forgotten something, but Xu Qian had given her a wink earlier, and she would probably find out later that night.
"Why didn't you say something earlier? Otherwise, why did I bring you here? You and Miss are classmates, you should at least have some friendship with her outside." Manager Hong spoke only after walking into his own territory with a gloomy atmosphere.
