Ye Qingqing had many questions for Sang Wanhua, but her health seemed poor. She started to pant after only a short while. Mrs. Allen took the microphone and said apologetically, "My mother is not feeling well. She needs to rest. Miss Ye, I will come tomorrow, and we can talk in detail then."
"Okay, is your aunt sick?" Ye Qingqing asked with concern.
Mrs. Allen gave a wry smile. "Yes, she is very ill. I will tell you tomorrow. I have to go take care of my mother now. Goodbye."
After the call ended, listening to the dial tone, Ye Qingqing felt a mix of emotions.
They had just found Sang Wanhua and hadn't even had time to feel joy when they heard more bad news. Sang Wanhua must be seriously ill, otherwise Mrs. Allen's tone wouldn't have been so sorrowful. Moreover, given the Allen family's wealth and power, Sang Wanhua's illness must be quite troublesome.
She told Lu Mo about Sang Wanhua. Miao Tianxiang was also there. After listening, she was deeply moved. "Mrs. Allen's mother is very mysterious. I only know that Mrs. Allen was an orphan adopted by her mother, but her mother is a very famous writer who has published many books. She is a very powerful woman."
Miao Tianxiang spoke highly of Sang Wanhua. She had always admired strong, self-reliant women with real skills, especially those who were educated, because she herself was not very educated.
Ye Qingqing said with great pride, "My aunt was a prominent figure in Pingjiang when she was young. She founded a newspaper all by herself and vehemently criticized the government at the time, which eventually forced her to flee to another place to avoid trouble. I never expected that she would be Mrs. Allen's adoptive mother. I wonder if she is married or not?"
“As far as I know, no, Mrs. Allen’s adoptive mother was a celibate,” Miao Tianxiang said with a smile.
Ye Qingqing also laughed, "When my aunt was young, she said she wanted to remain single for life because no man could catch her eye."
“She’s right. Most men in this world are selfish creatures. You can’t entrust your heart to them. They’re just for playing around.” Miao Tianxiang’s tone was dismissive, showing her genuine disdain for men.
Ye Qingqing chuckled inwardly. Miao Tianxiang and Sang Wanhua were essentially the same, both looking down on men. However, the way they expressed their contempt was qualitatively different. One kept men at arm's length, while the other treated men as playthings, manipulating them at will.
"Should I tell Grandma about this? I'm afraid she'll faint from excitement." Ye Qingqing hesitated.
The old lady and her sister-in-law Sang Wanhua had a very good relationship. Before coming to Hong Kong, she was still thinking about her sister-in-law. If she had known that there was news about Sang Wanhua, she would definitely have been restless. But Sang Wanhua was seriously ill, and the old lady would be heartbroken again.
"Let's talk about it when Mrs. Allen arrives tomorrow!" Lu Mo decided for her.
It's definitely necessary to meet, since the sisters-in-law who have been separated for decades must meet. But how and where to meet must be discussed with Mrs. Allen before a decision can be made.
Mrs. Allen arrived quickly, by private jet, a journey of more than ten hours, accompanied by her son Roger.
Upon meeting, Roger gave Ye Qingqing a warm hug, saying, "Darling, we're relatives now. I'm your brother."
Roger was so happy that he didn't notice Lu Mo's dark face next to him. Luckily, he didn't offer a kiss on the cheek, otherwise Lu Mo would have grabbed him by the collar and thrown him out the door.
Mrs. Allen looked tired, but she didn't want to rest. Ye Qingqing gave her a pill that could refresh her mind. Mrs. Allen hesitated for a moment, then took the pill. Soon she felt the pill's magical effect and looked at Ye Qingqing with surprise.
