Chapter 298 It’s Really Her
The Liu family's residence was decorated with lanterns and was bustling with activity. Guests came in an endless stream to celebrate the birthday, and the house was filled with laughter and joy.
Li Mumu followed Song Qiang into the hall, only to see Sun Rumei, the third wife of the Liu family, standing in the middle of the hall with a reserved smile on her face, greeting every guest.
When Sun Rumei saw Song Qiang bringing Li Mumu and Gu Yu in, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across her face.
She and Song Qiang used to be good friends, but they had long since fallen out. When something happened to the Gu family, she thought she would never see them again in this life, but she didn't expect that the Gu family would force their way back to Shangjing City.
When they met again, the atmosphere was inevitably a little awkward, not to mention that Song Qiang was even more glorious than before, and those two adorable little kids hurt her eyes even more.
"Sister Song, it's been a long time since we last met. You're still as charming as ever. If someone didn't know you, they would have thought you were enjoying yourself in the north." Sun Rumei forced a smile, with a hint of provocation in her tone.
Song Qiang smiled faintly and replied nonchalantly, "Sister Sun, the birthday party is so lively. Congratulations on the birth of your child. It's double the joy."
When Liu Rumei heard the words "adding a new baby," her face froze slightly. Liu Cheng'en, the Liu family's master beside her, burst into laughter. "Song's sister is really good at talking. Come, come, come, please take a seat."
Song Qiang pulled Li Mumu and Gu Yu among the guests, and Li Mumu looked around curiously.
Whether out of guilt or shame, Sun Rumei found an excuse and went to greet other guests.
The old lady of the Liu family arrived late, but unfortunately, after seeing Li Mumu, she bowed reluctantly.
Li Mumu deeply understood what it meant that a higher-ranking official could crush someone to death. Old Mrs. Liu was in her seventies or eighties, and she had to bow to her baby when she saw him.
However, Li Mumu didn't really ask her to bow, and quickly helped her up. Today was her birthday party, and she casually said some auspicious words to wish her a happy birthday, which made Madam Liu very happy.
She didn't care about the grudges among the younger generations. She had seen Li Mumu before and knew that she was stupid, but now she seemed like a completely different person.
If she hadn't been with Song Qiang, she wouldn't have dared to recognize him.
Madam Liu asked about Madam Gu's condition again. Song Qiang only said that she had just returned to the capital and was tired from the journey. She would come to visit again when she felt better.
These are all polite remarks used in certain situations. The person who says them knows whether they are true or false, and the person who hears them will naturally know as well.
However, Madam Liu was still very happy. Although Madam Gu did not come in person, someone from the Gu family still came. You know, the Gu family has not shown up at any banquet in the capital recently, big or small.
They exchanged pleasantries while Li Mumu listened attentively, and sure enough, she heard the ladies talking about the adopted child of the third branch of the Liu family.
After all, everyone is very curious. Since they are adopting a child, why not raise a boy so that they can set up their own household in the future? What's the point of raising a daughter?
Could it be that this girl has something special?
"I heard that this little girl saved Madam Liu San's life."
"Are you kidding me? That girl isn't even a year old yet. How could she save her? Is she a deity?"
"I don't know the details of this matter, but I heard that the child is very beautiful and delicate."
"Is this true?"
"You'll know when you see me later."
Li Mumu listened to some of it roughly and felt more and more that this was the heroine Li Zhaozhao.
After all, how could anyone other than the protagonist have such an opportunity to survive?
Sun Rumei disappeared for a while, and when she came back, she was holding a little girl in her arms.
At just one glance, Li Mumu recognized it as Li Zhaozhao.
Song Qiang didn't recognize her, but she was not stupid. After seeing Li Mumu's eyes, she felt that something was wrong.
After thinking about it again, I had a rough idea.
After all, the little girl was clamoring to come to the Liu family. She thought at the time that she was just here to watch the fun, but now that she thinks about it, it's probably not the case.
She couldn't recognize Li Zhaozhao because she had never seen this child before, but the two kids had the same father after all, and they did look somewhat similar if you looked closely.
Originally, Madam Liu was quite unhappy. After all, she was the protagonist of the birthday party, but she was upstaged by a little girl. But she was the elder after all, so it was not easy for her to say it directly. Fortunately, Sun Rumei pretended to be stupid, and the matter was settled.
"This child is so handsome. What will he be like when he grows up? I'm afraid the threshold of your house will be trampled down by people."
"Yeah, I've never seen such a beautiful girl doll."
Sun Rumei smiled proudly, "Yes, to be honest, this child is not only pretty, I think she is also blessed. For example, I went to the mountains to worship Buddha that day, hoping to have a child, and I happened to meet her. You said that meeting her would be fine, but she also saved my life."
Everyone listened attentively. After all, who wouldn't be curious about how this little girl who couldn't even speak could save people?
Li Mumu caught a glimpse of the Liu family's wife's face changing from the corner of her eye, but she didn't lose her temper on the spot.
This Sun Rumei really doesn't know how to do things.
It was the old lady's birthday party, but she had to interfere. If it was her own daughter, it would be fine. Although Li Zhaozhao saved her life, he didn't save the old lady.
To the old lady, these were two outsiders.
It’s not that she doesn’t care, but the Lady Liu really thinks so.
Sun Rumei vividly described how she went for a walk on the mountain after worshiping Buddha that day. She originally wanted to go to the top of the mountain to see the scenery, but she was attracted by the crying of a little baby.
Just when she went to see the child, a rock from the top of the mountain rolled down. If she hadn't come over, it would have hit her, and the consequences would have been disastrous.
"So, this child is destined to be with me." Sun Rumei said. The most important thing is that this child is really good-looking. She can even imagine that in ten or eight years, she can use this child to get close to the powerful.
"Then where are the child's parents?"
"I don't know. The one she's holding is from a matchmaker who just bought her. She's been passed around a lot." Sun Rumei said, "Maybe it was fate that destined us to be mother and daughter. She went through so much trouble to be sent to me to save my life."
After she said that, everyone felt that this child was indeed a little different.
The key is that she doesn't cry or make a fuss at this moment, and lets everyone hold her, which is very lovable.
"Well, I think she looks quite like you. If you don't know, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are mother and daughter."
"Don't tell me, the eyebrows and eyes are really similar."
These ladies are all sweet-mouthed, saying one thing to one person and another thing to another.
But someone said, "I think she looks a bit like the little princess."
There was no other meaning in this statement. After all, Li Mumu was now the lucky star of Dongyao Country. If she looked like her, it would be flattering for the child.
"It would be great if he could be as smart as the little princess in the future." Sun Rumei said sincerely. This child is even more beautiful than Li Mumu.
