Chapter 855: Mother's Life Story (Part 2)
…
On the other side, Mo Lan drove away from the compound where Jiang Xin lived.
Ruan Qi was sitting in the back seat with her eyes closed when she suddenly heard Bai Li's voice in the system.
"Girl, when you were getting hot water for Jiang Xin just now, she secretly took a photo of your phone."
Ruan Qi opened her eyes.
"Secretly filming with a cell phone?"
"Yes, she took out her phone and took a picture of your phone. It seemed like she was taking a picture of your family photo."
Ruan Qi frowned when he heard this.
Why did Aunt Jiang take a family photo of her family?
What's so good about taking a family photo? And taking it secretly?
Ruan Qi was puzzled and took out her phone to open the family photo.
She stared at the photo for a while, and suddenly remembered the question Jiang Xin asked her about Yang Liu's birthmark.
Ruan Qi thought about it, placed two fingers on the phone screen, enlarged the photo, and the birthmark on Yang Liu's chest appeared clearly on the screen.
Ruan Qi stared at the birthmark for a while, her eyes darkening.
"...Uncle Bai Li, why do you think Aunt Jiang is so concerned about my mother's birthmark?"
Bai Li: "I don't know. She was acting strangely today. She seemed to be shocked after seeing your family photo. Does she know your mother?"
Ruan Qi didn't say anything, her eyes fell on the photo, her pupils flickering.
She had a vague guess in her mind.
Yang Liu was an orphan who had grown up in an orphanage on the outskirts of the imperial capital. According to the orphanage's aunt, Yang Liu was about five or six years old when she arrived, covered in wounds and soaked, and had a high fever for three days before she regained consciousness.
When Ruan Qi heard about Yang Liu's life story as a child, she only thought her mother was a little miserable. But now thinking about it carefully, there are many doubts.
For example, where did Mom live before coming to the orphanage? Was she abandoned by her parents or became separated from them?
How did she get all those injuries? Why didn't she think about looking for her parents after she came to the orphanage?
There were too many suspicious points in this. The more Ruan Qi thought about it, the more strange it seemed. When she thought about Jiang Xin's behavior today...
Ruan Qi's face turned serious, and she stood up and said to Mo Lan, "Sister Lan, I'm not going to Jinhua anymore. I want to go home!"
…
Yuyuan Villa.
Today is a weekday and most of the Ruan family are not at home.
After saying goodbye to Mo Lan, Ruan Qi hurriedly opened the door and rushed into the living room, just in time to meet Grandma Ruan who was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"Xiao Qi? Why are you back?"
Ruan Qi didn't have time to explain and asked the old woman anxiously, "Grandma, where is my mother?"
Grandma Ruan: "Your mother? She's in a meeting in the study. What happened to you? Why are you so out of breath?"
Ruan Qi waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, then hurried to the second floor without even taking off her down jacket.
In the study on the second floor, Yang Liu had just finished a video conference.
She stood up from her swivel chair and was about to turn off the computer when the study door was suddenly pushed open.
"Mother!"
A little girl in a white down jacket rushed in like a snowball.
Yang Liu didn't expect Ruan Qi to come back so early. She raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Why are you back at this time?"
Ruan Qi looked at her excitedly: "Mom, I have something to tell you..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped.
What should she say?
It's just a guess now, there's no definite evidence, does she really want to tell her mother now?
My mother was orphaned when she was little, and it's been over forty years now. Although she doesn't usually talk about it, who wouldn't care about their background?
If she tells her mother her guess now, and it turns out to be wrong later, will her mother be very sad?
When Ruan Qi thought about Yang Liu being sad, the words on the tip of her tongue hesitated.
Seeing that she was silent, Yang Liu raised her beautiful eyebrows: "One moment you're impulsive, the next you're hesitant. Honey, what do you want to say?"
"I, I want to say..." Ruan Qi hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't say it out loud, "Nothing, I just want to drink the soup my mother made."
Yang Liu looked incredulous.
Ruan Qi didn't dare look at her, and touched her nose guiltily: "I want to drink papaya and white fungus soup tonight. Thank you for your hard work, Mom. Mom, you are busy, I'll go first!"
After saying that, the guilty little girl ran away.
She ran downstairs and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Yang Liu didn't catch up with her.
Ruan Qi walked into the living room and sat down next to Grandma Ruan.
"Grandma, what are you looking at?"
Grandma Ruan stared at the TV with a smile and answered her granddaughter, "It's a TV series. It's really good. The heroine was an orphan since childhood. She was adopted by a couple and grew up with their biological son. When they grew up, they fell in love, but the couple disagreed and forced the heroine to marry the second male lead. In order to resist, the heroine ran away from home and had a car accident on the road. After being sent to the hospital, she unexpectedly discovered that she was actually her adoptive parents' biological daughter. Her adoptive parents' son was actually accidentally taken away by mistake. His biological parents were their enemies..."
Grandma Ruan talked about a lot of plots, but Ruan Qi didn't hear a word of it. He only paid attention to the word "orphan".
She was a little sensitive to this word today and couldn't help but interrupt Grandma Ruan.
"Grandma, I remember Mom was also an orphan when she was little, right?"
Grandma Ruan paused and nodded: "Yes, your mother is an orphan just like the heroine. Didn't you know this a long time ago?"
"Yeah, I knew that a long time ago. But grandma, why didn't my mother look for her biological parents? Is it because she didn't want to?"
"Of course not." Grandma Ruan glanced at the second floor and lowered her voice, "It's not that your mother doesn't want to find your parents, it's that she can't."
Ruan Qi: "Can't find it?"
"Yes." Grandma Ruan sighed and said a fact that Ruan Qi could never guess.
"Your mother lost her memory when she was a child."
Ruan Qi:? ? ! ! !
"Amnesia? Mom also lost her memory when she was a child?"
Is amnesia hereditary in her family?
The little girl opened her eyes wide in shock.
Grandma Ruan gave her a funny look and said, "Your mother is very different from you. She lost her memory because she had a high fever and became confused."
When Yang Liu came to the orphanage, she had a high fever for three days. Because the fever lasted so long and she was so young, her brain became confused.
After her fever subsided, she could not remember anything that happened in the past.
Because of this, she doesn't remember her parents and has no way to find them.
Ruan Qi hadn't expected the truth to be this. She took a moment to digest the information before continuing, "Did Mom have anything with her when she arrived at the orphanage? Like a safety lock or a bracelet?"
Grandma Ruan shook her head. "Probably not. Your mother said that when she first arrived at the orphanage, she was covered in wounds, her clothes were wet and tattered, and she had nothing on her to prove her identity. But she still has that tattered dress, and I don't know where your mother put it."
There is another chapter in the evening, around seven o'clock.
