She was talented and learned to paint a portrait in a very short time. After separating from Tao Junjie, she painted many portraits of grapes.
There are images of Grape sleeping soundly with her eyes closed, and images of her opening her eyes a thin slit, and images of her crying anxiously...
All of this was drawn from her memory at the time. Because she was too tired from learning to paint during her postpartum period, she developed some postpartum illnesses.
Especially my wrist; sometimes I inexplicably feel weak. But it's all worth it. At least, it records what Grape looked like on the day he was born.
She works so hard because she is afraid that as time goes by, she will grow old and her memory will fade, and she will be forced to forget some important people and things.
Unfortunately, she didn't know what Grape looked like when she opened her eyes and smiled. When she was first born, she would only smile unconsciously while sleeping with her eyes closed.
She captured many moments of Grape, but she never knew about Grape's smile as she grew up.
She gave a faint smile, tears welling in her eyes: "Grape, if you were still by your mother's side, what would you be like when you grew up?"
She asked this question countless times, but no one could answer her anymore.
Every night, in the quiet of the night, she would uncontrollably think of the ashes of the grapes she had brought back.
I didn't even get to see her one last time...
Over the years, she has been practicing vegetarianism and chanting Buddhist prayers, hoping only that she will be reborn into a happy life and free from any more suffering.
...
Tang Yaoyao went to Fu Xiuchen's room. She had mixed feelings until her brother gave her a piece of candy.
Tang Yaoyao looked at the candy and gave a faint smile: "Brother, thank you."
“Yao’er…” He moved his lips, but didn’t know what to say.
After a long silence, he looked at her and said, "Yao'er, I will immediately instruct Xu Feng to release Fu Mengyao."
Tang Yaoyao nodded. There was still one very important point she hadn't told him yet: currently, only by working together could the siblings find the person who had plotted all of this behind the scenes.
This matter cannot be known only to her and Brother Xiao. If we are going to investigate, we should investigate it thoroughly.
"There's something I only found out last night, brother. I've thought about it and I need to tell you clearly so we can find the person behind all this more quickly."
While she was speaking, Fu Xiuchen had already left a message on Xu Feng's WeChat.
He looked up and saw her solemn expression, and his breathing also became heavy: "Yao'er, tell me."
Tang Yaoyao pulled her to sit down on the sofa, then unzipped her small bag and took out a small, folded piece of paper.
"Brother, I'm afraid Mom will have an even harder time accepting this news. You keep an eye on it for now, and then we'll figure out a way to let her know little by little."
Fu Xiuchen's heart suddenly raced, sensing something was amiss. He frowned slightly, his voice clear and crisp: "Okay."
After receiving his support, she opened the paper and handed it to him: "This is a paternity test I did when I was still in Blue City, proving my blood relationship with Fu Mengyao."
Fu Xiuchen took it, and when he saw the sentence in the conclusion, his slightly narrowed eyes widened, his eyes filled with astonishment.
He murmured in disbelief, "Fu Mengyao is not related to you by blood..."
Tang Yaoyao nodded: "It's written in black and white, absolutely true."
"how so……"
Fu Xiuchen murmured, watching for a long while, his expression growing increasingly deep and cold, emanating a suffocating pressure.
He had personally supervised the paternity test he conducted with Yao'er, and based on their time together, he was completely confident that his paternity test was without any problems.
Since there are no problems, then there are even fewer problems with Fu Mengyao and Yao'er's share.
Fu Mengyao is not Third Aunt's daughter at all; she has no blood relation to Yao'er.
“Brother, I didn’t find any useful information at the time, so I didn’t tell you about it.”
But now, things are different.
Fu Xiuchen remained silent, waiting for her to continue.
Tang Yaoyao's charming fox eyes narrowed lazily, revealing a destructive look: "Last night, my fourth brother told me something. Twenty years ago, in my parents' eyes, I was already a dead person."
"What..." Fu Xiuchen's breath hitched: "She told us that you were kidnapped, but that you can be found..."
"Brother, have you never wondered why the Fu family, with its vast wealth and power, couldn't even find a missing baby girl?"
Fu Xiuchen frowned. After finding Yao'er and discovering that she was in Rongcheng, right beside them, he was certain that someone was behind it all, preventing them from finding her.
“I’ve had doubts before, but I had no clue. Now that you’re back by my side, I’ve checked with some relatives, but I haven’t found anything. If in Mother’s heart you’re already dead, then what’s the point of stopping us…”
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Is it Mother?"
Tang Yaoyao knew he was very wise and that he only needed to think about it carefully to understand the reason behind it.
“Because Father and Mother didn’t want us to be sad, they gave us hope. Since we had hope, they didn’t want to see us despair. They silently bore the ‘truth’ that you were dead. No wonder, no wonder… we couldn’t find anything.”
Tang Yaoyao was also somewhat moved. What a beautiful love this was! It was just a pity that her parents had been misled and were still kept in the dark.
Fu Xiuchen frowned: "This matter must never be told to Mother..."
She won't be able to stand it.
If it weren't for their mother's interference behind the scenes to protect their hopes, they might have found their younger sister long ago.
She must be devastated to learn of this result, especially since they haven't yet found out who orchestrated it all twenty years ago.
The person behind this is too vicious and too cunning.
"The fourth son knew the truth, and he chose to cooperate with his mother."
Tang Yaoyao nodded again: "He never doubted that I was not dead, after all, he was too young to know the truth at that time."
Fu Xiuchen reached out and gripped her shoulders, his gentle brows furrowed with caution: "Yao'er, listen to me, don't alert them yet. Mom has heart disease, I had surgery, but I'm not fully recovered. I know this isn't fair to you..."
“It’s fair.” Tang Yaoyao gently interrupted him, blinking her eyes as her beautiful eyelashes fluttered gently.
Fu Xiuchen was slightly taken aback.
“He gave you hope and let me live in your hearts. I am already very content with the love you have for me. Our mother must not suffer any mishap. I understand the principle of enduring for a moment and being happy for a lifetime.”
This is also why she didn't immediately acknowledge her mother.
Now, it's time to make those shady characters hiding in the shadows pay the price.
