Chapter 30 Embrace
Ms. Ruan nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes."
Granny Ruan suddenly looked at her, furious. "What do you mean? Do you really prefer to believe this girl of unknown origin rather than her own mother? Why would I bring a fake one to impersonate Er Ya?"
Ruan Shi flinched, and Shu Yu stood in front of her, looking at the obviously guilty old woman Ruan Shi with a sneer, "Why are you so nervous? If you don't tell me yourself, do you think your own mother would know whether it's really Er Ya or not? That's right, when you stole Er Ya, you were in such a panic that you probably didn't notice anything else, you only knew that she had two moles on her arm."
"I, I..." Granny Ruan was speechless when asked the question.
She really didn't know what mark Er Ya had. At that time, she didn't even have time to run away. After handing the person over and taking the silver, she quickly hid.
After all, the buyer wanted a boy, so she essentially lied to him.
Under those circumstances, she didn't even have time to unwrap Er Ya's swaddling clothes.
Granny Ruan wanted to argue, but Shu Yu didn't give her the chance.
She turned to look at Madam Ruan, "Tell me, what other signs can prove that it's really Er Ya?"
Ruan steadied herself, perhaps because seeing Shu Yu's calm demeanor made her feel at ease.
She took a deep breath and said, "May I see the back of your necks? Er Ya has a birthmark the size of a grain of rice on the back of her neck."
The Lu family had not told anyone about this.
Moreover, with so many people inside and outside the courtyard, it wasn't appropriate to mention other parts of the body.
Granny Ruan and the girl exchanged a glance, still wanting to throw a tantrum.
Ke Shuyu had already tossed her hair to one shoulder, calmly and composedly showing it to Madam Ruan.
She couldn't see the back of her neck and didn't actually know if she had such a birthmark, but she knew that the investigation by the abbot of Dongqing Temple was correct.
With just one glance, tears welled up uncontrollably in Ruan's eyes.
If she was only 80-90% sure before, now that she saw the birthmark on the back of her neck, Madam Ruan was certain that she was Er Ya.
"It's you! You're Er Ya, my daughter!" Madam Ruan burst into tears and hugged Shu Yu tightly. "Er Ya, I've missed you so much! I almost thought I'd never see you again in this life. Er Ya, you're finally back! Waaah..."
Shu Yu was a little dazed by her hug. For so many years, she had never been hugged with such strong emotions.
In her past life, her parents died young, and she was single-mindedly focused on revenge. To climb the social ladder, she sometimes resorted to any means necessary. She had almost no close friends, never trusted anyone, and vehemently rejected any kind of relationship that made her feel trapped.
No one ever hugged her. Even as she rose higher and higher, she was always alone, forever alone on her journey forward.
Now, faced with Ruan's weeping, Shu Yu's hands were somewhat at a loss, and he was unusually unsure how to react.
After a long while, she raised her hand slightly, patted her back somewhat clumsily and stiffly, and whispered, "Don't cry."
"Yes, I won't cry. It's a happy thing for you to come home, how can I cry?" Ruan finally reluctantly let go of her, wiped away her tears, and looked up to examine her closely, from her forehead to her nose and then to her mouth, as if she didn't want to miss a single hair.
Shu Yu felt quite uncomfortable being stared at, and was just about to say something to distract him when a terrified scream rang in her ears.
