Mu Qing first responded to her biological mother, then quietly explained to her adoptive mother, "My biological mother is mentally ill. She always thinks my biological brother is my father and can't remember her biological son at all."
In order to let his mother remember him, his brother changed his name to Lan Rui.
Mu Qing's nose felt sore. For so many years, she had been a princess in the Mu family, but her mother and brother had never had an easy life.
Zhang Guifeng looked at Mrs. Lan with even more heartache.
As a mother herself, she could understand Mrs. Lan’s pain.
Looking at Lan Zheng again, Zhang Guifeng also felt distressed.
A child who is not remembered by his biological mother will not be able to enjoy maternal love for so many years even if his biological mother is around.
"Everyone, go in."
The old lady spoke.
"Qingqing."
Mrs. Lan was very dependent on Mu Qing. She held the doll in one hand and tightly grasped Mu Qing's arm with the other, fearing that Mu Qing would abandon her.
She hadn't been out of the house for a long time, and the only people she usually interacted with were the servants at home, who were full of disgust towards her.
Over time, Mrs. Lan became afraid of meeting strangers and being in crowds.
"Mom, don't be afraid, let's go in and talk."
Mu Qing comforted her mother.
Mrs. Lan nodded. Perhaps she felt that her reaction would be misunderstood, so she smiled at everyone embarrassedly.
A group of people entered the house.
The Mu family was a little reserved, especially the two old people.
Ye Junbo noticed that the old lady was feeling uncomfortable, so he naturally sat down next to Grandma Mu.
The two old people were very familiar with Ye Junbo. After all, he was their grandson-in-law. Moreover, Ye Junbo and Mu Zhiyuan were college classmates. Although the two did not have a close relationship due to their personalities, Ye Junbo would always go to the Mu family for meals a few times a year.
The Mu family had a particularly good impression of him.
But after graduation, he was busy taking over the business and dealing with various problems that came with it, so he no longer had time to make his presence felt in front of the Mu family. It was not until he stabilized the company that he had time to properly pursue Mu Qing.
Oh, before she had the chance to start pursuing him, Mu Qing, because her mother was pressuring her to get married, took the initiative to rent him as her boyfriend. He coaxed her into it and they became husband and wife.
Ye Junbo didn't say how ecstatic he was when Mu Qing proposed to rent him as her boyfriend.
He did so much behind her back just to make her his wife, but he didn't expect that she would take the initiative to jump into his love net.
Really, I can even wake up laughing in my dreams.
After the servants served tea, snacks and fruits, Ye Junbo gently introduced to the two elderly people which snacks were delicious and asked them to try them.
With him around to talk to, the two old people quickly relaxed and became more natural.
Mu Qing gave her husband a look of appreciation and gratitude.
She was being pestered by her biological mother, so she had to take care of her biological mother's emotions and could not ignore her adoptive mother.
At this moment, her adoptive parents are on her left, and her biological mother and brother are on her right.
The Jun family waited until the emotions of the two families had stabilized, and the old lady looked at her eldest grandson lovingly.
Ye Junbo explained the whole story.
Only the Jun and Mu families knew what was going on.
While sympathizing with Mrs. Lan, they also marveled at the magic of blood ties.
When Mu Qing was only half a year old, she was secretly taken away from home by her father's admirer. Even though the Lan family immediately launched an investigation and chased after Miss Zhuang after they found out, they only found Miss Zhuang's body in the end, and the half-year-old Lan Qing was missing.
The mother and daughter have been separated for twenty-three years and have never seen each other. However, Mu Qing has dreamed of her biological mother twice recently. This is the magic of blood connection.
How was Mu Qing picked up by Mu Jing in the first place?
Mu Jing recalled those years and said, "Our biological daughter was also six months old when she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Even though we were willing to spend all our money to treat her, the situation was not optimistic. The doctor told me that our daughter would not live long and asked me to be mentally prepared."
"I was very sad, but I had to face reality. That day, the doctor called me in and told me about my daughter's condition. But instead of returning to the ward, I walked out of the hospital in a daze. I didn't know where to go, so I got on a bus and let it take me on."
"When I passed the cemetery, I remembered what the doctor said: I had to prepare for my daughter's funeral. So I got off the car near the cemetery and walked to the cemetery, thinking about choosing a grave for my daughter. The area around the cemetery was very quiet and there were few people."
"As I was walking, I heard a child crying. At first I thought I was hallucinating. How could there be a child near a cemetery? But the crying was so real, I looked for it and actually saw a child in a ditch by the roadside. She was about six months old, crawling in the ditch, raising her head and crying non-stop."
"I quickly jumped into the ditch and picked her up. After I picked her up, she kept grabbing my clothes and stuffing them into her mouth. I guess she must have been starving. The clothes she was wearing were very beautiful. Anyway, our family was not well off at the time and could not afford such nice clothes for a child. She also wore a longevity lock made of gold."
"There was a word 'Qing' carved on the longevity lock. I don't know who threw it in the ditch. If no one found it, she would have died. I felt sorry for this little girl, so I carried her back. I don't know if anyone saw it at the time."
"I had just returned to the bus stop with her in my arms when I received a call from my wife, telling me that Qingqing was dying. I quickly rushed to the hospital with the little baby in my arms. As soon as I got back to Qingqing's side, she passed away..."
When talking about the past, the Mu family members all shed tears.
This was also the first time that Mu Qing knew how she was picked up.
She was guided by the real Mu Qing to soothe her parents' pain and fulfill her filial piety on behalf of the real Mu Qing.
Zhang Guifeng leaned on her husband's shoulder and cried bitterly.
Although she treated Mu Qing as her own child for the past twenty-three years, she always remembered that this child could not replace that child. The heart-wrenching pain of losing her daughter still broke her heart when she thought about it.
"mom."
Mu Qing hugged her adoptive mother with tears in her eyes.
Zhang Guifeng howled a few times, then, remembering that this was the Jun family, her daughter's in-laws' home, she suppressed her pain and wiped the tears from her face against her husband's shoulder. She patted Mu Qing's hand with her backhand and said with a choked sob, "Mom, it's okay. It's been over twenty years, and I've made it through."
She took over her husband's words and said, "As a mother, losing a child is a pain that only those who have experienced it can understand. It really feels like the sky has fallen. It's a pain that is like cutting flesh and cutting bones."
"My daughter was a lovely baby before she got sick. When I see Qingqing, it's like seeing my own daughter..."
"I couldn't resist her temptation, so my husband and I took Qingqing home and told everyone that she was cured and that she would take our daughter's place."
