The meeting place was a coffee shop. Yue Lanxing had heard that the desserts here were delicious and had wanted to buy some for the young lady, but she hadn't been able to find the time. So they decided to meet here.
"Mom!" When Yue Lanxing arrived, Wang's mother was already waiting. "Lanxing!"
Both of them wanted to walk up to each other, but stopped a step away. "Sit down, I have something to discuss with you." Wang Qingqing and Yue Lanxing sat down to talk.
"Mom, how did you get to Maple Leaf Mansion?" Yue Lanxing asked the important question first. He needed to confirm whether the Yue family had used any coercive methods, but Wang Ma's current attire didn't suggest that she had been forced.
Wang Qingqing took a deep breath before speaking, "My cousin and your second uncle came to pick me up. I didn't want to go at first, but I've already raised you. You can decide for yourself whether you want to go back or not."
“But they told me that the Third Miss, your birth mother, has been sick for many years. She said she would not rest in peace if she could not see you and be recognized by your ancestors. So I thought I would go and see her, so that you and your mother could not suffer anymore.”
“What they said is true.” Wang Qingqing nodded heavily and said, “The Third Miss was fine at first, but when I heard that she had asked you to be hospitalized, I couldn’t help but slap her hard, and then she had a relapse.”
"The eldest young master said that this illness requires injections, but these injections have side effects. The third young lady doesn't have many years left to live." Wang Qingqing took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears. After all, she had served the third young lady for so many years, how could her feelings not be deep?
Yue Lanxing blinked; he hadn't considered this situation before. "What kind of needle? What kind of medicine?"
"I don't know what kind of medicine it is. Aren't you at the Xu family's? Why don't you find a doctor to take a look at her? She's your own mother. You and your son have been separated for so many years. Why don't you try to reconnect with her?"
"When you said you didn't want to acknowledge it before, I thought you're all grown up now and I can't control your thoughts. There's no emotional connection there, so if you don't want to acknowledge it, then so be it. There's still plenty of time."
“But if the Third Miss really doesn’t have much time left, I still want you to go and acknowledge her. She’s not heartless, she’s just ill and can’t control herself.” After Wang Qingqing finished speaking, she looked at Yue Lanxing, waiting for his answer.
Yue Lanxing clenched and unclenched her fist. "Mom, you go back first. I'll go tomorrow."
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.” Wang Qingqing knew he would agree, so she wasn’t surprised.
Yue Lanxing watched his mother get into the car, then waved to the waiter to order a tiramisu and wrap it up. While waiting, he stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.
"Hey, what's Butler Yue doing here?" Reporter Zhu's voice came from the doorway. Yue Lanxing was too conspicuous; he could be recognized just by looking at the back of his head and shoulders.
Yue Lanxing was brought back to his senses when someone called him. He turned around and saw an old acquaintance. "Reporter Zhu, what brings you here for an interview?"
“There was a profile interview I did for the Xu family, which was very well received after it was published. Many people invited me to do profile interviews for them, saying that I have good writing skills.”
"A coffee, please," Reporter Zhu called out to the waiter. "Hey, why aren't you ordering a drink?"
Yue Lanxing shook her head. "No need. I've finished my business and I'll leave right away. So many people want to do interviews with you. It seems the newspaper's sales are pretty good."
"Hey, you and Miss, just wait and see. This quarter's financial report is going to be quite impressive." Reporter Zhu's tone was full of pride; his results were indeed excellent.
Yue Lanxing raised an eyebrow and said, "Since you've met so many people, why don't you compile a list of their interests, hobbies, and life stories? I might need it."
