Chapter 408: Mother May Still Be Alive
"Miss, I know you are at home, just come out and let me take a look...!"
It was drizzling.
The rain was getting heavier.
There was thunder in the sky, and occasionally a few flashes of lightning flashed by, the sound was particularly terrifying.
Suman was accompanying Doudou in the living room on the second floor.
Ye Ling came up and drew aside the curtains. From the second-floor window, she could see the main entrance. Chen Ma was still there, with one or two bags piled at her feet. The rain was getting heavier, soaking the bags.
At that time, Chen Ma left Shen's house and came to Su Man, carrying only a small bag.
If you leave now, these two big bags of things are almost all bought by Su Man for Chen Ma.
"Madam, the car has arrived, but Sister Chen still doesn't want to leave." Ye Ling said.
Su Man said, "Let's wait a little longer. When she sees that I ignore her, she will probably give up."
Coincidentally, at this time, the driver also called Ye Ling.
The driver said that Mrs. Chen didn't want to get in the car, so he asked if he could leave now, as this would delay him from taking on the next order.
Ye Ling added another hundred yuan in tip and asked the driver to wait for Chen Ma for another half an hour.
The driver took the money, turned on the hazard lights, and leaned back in his seat to rest peacefully.
The car lights reflected on Chen Ma, but she remained indifferent.
She screamed heartbreakingly towards the second floor: "Miss! Aunt Chen knows she's wrong!"
But the sound of thunder and rain drowned out her cries.
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Ye Ling was worried that the rain would wet the carpet and curtains in the house, so she closed the windows.
This time, Chen Ma's shouting was completely isolated outside, and her voice could hardly be heard from inside the house.
Doudou was babbling while playing with toys. Seeing Suman's expressionless face, he seemed to know that his mother was in a bad mood. He moved his panting body with difficulty and crawled in front of Suman.
The little hands of the lotus root nodes grabbed Su Man.
Su Man was moved by her son's gurgling face and picked up Doudou.
Taking a deep breath of Doudou's scent, I felt a little better.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Aunt Chen must have been tired of shouting, and there was no sound of her shouting outside.
Half an hour later, the driver drove away.
Ye Ling saw that the double flash lights in front of the door were gone and the sound of the car engine also disappeared. She guessed that Aunt Chen must have left.
Su Man thought so too.
Manyuan returned to peace.
inside the house.
Doudou was playing with toys, and Ye Ling brought some cut fruits.
Except for Suman's occasional distraction, the house was warm and cozy.
A few hours later, Ye Ling wanted to see how the rain was outside, so she lifted the curtains and saw a blurry figure under the streetlight outside. She couldn't help but exclaimed:
"--oops!"
"What's wrong?" Su Man walked over holding Dou Dou.
Just as Su Man looked down along Ye Ling's line of sight, she couldn't help but pause.
The car left.
But Chen Ma hasn't left yet.
She was originally standing, but now she knelt down.
Su Man's heart was shaken for a moment.
Aunt Chen was kneeling outside the door, motionless.
The street light shone on her face, making it look a little pale.
Aunt Chen is old, and it’s raining so hard for several hours. I guess her body can’t handle it.
Su Man's heart began to feel a little confused.
It is impossible to say that I have no sympathy for Chen Ma.
While hesitating, Ye Ling asked in a panic, "Madam, the weather forecast says there might be hail tonight. Sister Chen, keep kneeling like this..."
"Go down and give her an umbrella and persuade her to go back. There's nothing more to say to her and me. Tell her that if she agrees not to send her niece to the Zhou family, I can pay for her niece's medical expenses, and what I said before about supporting the child will still count." Su Man said.
When Su Man saw Chen Xiaoyue, she saw herself as a child.
Chen Xiaoyue’s experience is so similar to hers.
There was a gambler father who chose to "sell" his daughter for gambling.
Su Man also believed that if Chen Xiaoyue really went to the Zhou family, she would not end up well.
Chen Ma said that they had agreed that the child would not be made a child bride, but these were just words to deceive Xiaoyue, a delaying tactic. When Xiaoyue really arrived at the Zhou family, wouldn't the Zhou family have the final say on how to deal with her?
By then, Xiaoyue will be helpless even if she cries out to heaven or earth. It will be as difficult as climbing to the sky to escape.
"Okay, I'll go see Sister Chen now." Ye Ling agreed immediately, took two umbrellas, and hurried downstairs.
Mother Chen, who was kneeling outside the door, saw the voice-controlled lights in the garden light up, and her originally dull and dazed eyes now had a hint of light.
But when it saw that the person coming was Ye Ling instead of Su Man, the light went out again.
Ye Ling walked over to Chen Ma and held the umbrella over her head. "Sister Chen, why are you doing this? Get up first."
She reached out to help Chen Ma up, but Chen Ma was unwilling to get up.
"Young lady still refuses to see me?"
"Madam said there's nothing more to say to you." Ye Ling sighed, "Sister Chen, if you had known this earlier, why did you do this in the first place? I heard that you've been taken care of by the young lady since you were a child. Logically, your relationship should be even deeper. But Sister Chen, don't blame me for being nosy. We in the housekeeping industry still have to maintain a sense of boundaries and propriety. If our employer treats us well, it's because they're kind, not a reason for us to push our luck."
Mother Chen wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, A-Ling, you see things more clearly than I do. I no longer ask the young lady to forgive me. I just want to see the young lady and tell her to take good care of herself."
"I'll help you get these messages across. By the way, Madam also said that if you promise not to send your niece away, all her previous promises to support the child will count."
The flesh on Chen Ma's cheeks twitched slightly. She couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into tears: "Miss...my Miss..."
Ye Ling stuffed another umbrella into Chen Ma's hands and said, "Sister Chen, let's go. Don't let Madam worry about it. She's feeling no worse than you."
Mother Chen looked at the umbrella in a daze for a while, then looked at the curtains in the living room on the second floor that were moving slightly. She seemed to have made some decision.
She held Ye Ling's hand tightly. "A Ling, please tell the young lady for me. I have something very important to tell her in person. I will feel uneasy if I leave like this."
"this……"
"Just tell the young lady that this matter concerns her biological parents and is very important."
Ye Ling seemed to realize the importance of the matter. She turned around and went back into the house, quickly returning upstairs.
This time, Suman went downstairs.
When she saw Su Man, Mother Chen couldn't stop crying.
Ye Ling had helped her up just now, and now when she saw Su Man again, she knelt down again.
Su Man felt a little choked up in her throat.
She forcefully suppressed the sourness at the tip of her nose and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Miss, I didn't tell your aunt that Doudou is Xiao Beisheng's biological son. I would never tell her about this, even if I were beaten to death."
"Um."
Seeing Su Man's cold expression, Chen Ma was heartbroken: "Miss, Chen Ma has reflected on herself and knows that she was seriously wrong. You are right to blame me... There is something I promised my benefactor not to tell anyone else. But now, I feel that I still have to tell you. Only in this way can I atone for my sins with you..."
"My mother died when I was a child, and my father was a gambler. I know all this, so what else is there to say?"
Aunt Chen shook her head: "No, Miss, your mother, she may still be alive in this world."
