After the beauty company experienced a storm, customers began to stay away and business became much slower.
Song Yaqing was busy dealing with the children's back-to-school arrangements. Taking into account the emotions and safety of the employees, she decided to give them a half-month holiday and let the company temporarily suspend operations for rectification.
Chuchu followed Song Yaqing back home.
Downstairs, Song Jingping was sipping tea and planning to chat with Chai Jingwen.
Song Yaqing took Chuchu back to the room on the second floor. After closing the door, she looked at Chuchu with a serious expression and asked, "Chuchu, how do you explain what happened today? You suddenly appeared dozens of kilometers away from the Lu family today? One is in the east of the city, and the other is in the west. What's going on? You can't fool Mom again."
Chuchu sighed, knowing that some things could no longer be concealed. She took a deep breath and looked at Song Yaqing seriously: "Mom, I want to tell you the truth. I don't think there is any need to hide it anymore."
Song Yaqing nodded, motioning her to continue. Chu Chu sorted out her thoughts and slowly said, "Do you remember I told you before that I was reborn?"
Song Yaqing nodded to indicate that she remembered.
Chuchu continued, "Actually, your daughter Chuchu was killed by Chu Mingyuan in her previous life. I was able to use Chuchu's body because she was reincarnating when our war in the underworld happened. When I ran out of energy, I took her body with me."
"I am Princess Qingming, and my father is the King of Hell. It just so happens that my name is also Chuchu."
After hearing this, Song Yaqing frowned instantly and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Underworld? Are you saying that you are actually... the princess of the underworld?"
After hearing this, Song Yaqing was silent for a moment, as if digesting this shocking information.
She looked at Chuchu, her eyes filled with complex emotions, including shock and worry.
Chuchu nodded gently, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "Yes, Mom. I have discussed with my father that I will accompany you in the human world until I turn 18. By then, you should be able to prepare yourself mentally, right?"
Song Yaqing's eyes were already moist, and she asked softly, "So, my daughter is actually... gone a long time ago, and you are using her body, right?"
Chuchu looked at Song Yaqing, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She really wanted to give a thumbs up to Song Yaqing for her intelligence and sensitivity.
She nodded slowly, acknowledging the fact.
Song Yaqing was still a little unwilling: "But... why do you have Chuchu's memory?"
Chuchu took a deep breath and began to recount that forgotten memory: "Yes, Mom. It was Chuchu who gave me all her memories from her previous life, most of which were painful and unfortunate. When she was one and a half years old, she was sold to a poor mountain valley by Chu Mingfeng. She couldn't even get enough to eat at her adoptive parents' home, and going to school was even more of a problem. Later, she escaped from the valley by hiding on a coal truck, and came to Jincheng to work, looking for her biological parents..."
Song Yaqing's tears could no longer be stopped. She choked and said, "I failed to protect my daughter. This is my dereliction of duty."
Chuchu comforted her softly, "Mom, she never blamed you. Later, she came to Jincheng and experienced many hardships and suffered a lot. By then, you were gone. It was you who adopted Su Huixian's daughter, but she poisoned you, and slowly you passed away. And Chuchu, she was later found by her grandparents, who were already in their eighties."
Chu Chu sighed deeply and continued, "But at that time, Chu Mingfeng was still alive. He tricked Chu Chu into his home and put drugs in her drink. Chu Chu was confused when she drove out and ended up in a car accident..."
Song Yaqing's tears flowed even more violently, and she said in a trembling voice: "It turns out that there really are past lives and present lives in this world. I didn't expect... my daughter would have experienced so much."
Seeing how sad Song Yaqing was, Chuchu said in her warm and firm voice, "Since it's me now, I will always be by your side, protecting you and loving you. I will use everything I have to make up for everything she has lost. Mom, believe me, I will protect you and the Song family. And my father also promised that the Song family will live a life without worries and disasters."
Song Yaqing burst into tears and hugged Chuchu tightly in her arms, "Good child, as long as you are here, mom will no longer disbelieve in you and will love you even more."
After knowing the truth, Song Yaqing became extremely cautious.
"I'll call your godmother and tell her you're back?" Song Yaqing knew that Chuchu had lived for a thousand years, so she spoke in a negotiating tone.
Chu Chu's voice was very clear, and she also put on a bit of the airs of an imperial princess: "No need, Lu Chenguang can take care of it. And he will send a car to bring my luggage back."
Song Yaqing asked, "Does he also know your identity, Chuchu?"
Song Yaqing's words revealed a bit of surprise and worry. She looked at Chuchu in front of her, her heart filled with complicated emotions.
Chu Chu shook her head, her tone revealing a hint of calmness and confidence: "Yes, Mom, he knows my true identity. He knows that I am different, and he also knows that I need some special arrangements. Moreover, as the princess of the underworld, I naturally have my own ways and methods to handle these matters."
Song Yaqing sighed softly, her eyes full of worry: "Chu Chu, are you doing well in the underworld? Is it very dangerous there?"
Chuchu smiled, her voice soft but firm: "Mom, don't worry. In the underworld, I am the Qingming Emperor. I have enough strength and wisdom to protect myself. And don't worry, I will always be with you until old age."
After hearing this, Song Yaqing's worries were slightly relieved, but she still couldn't help asking, "Then others... will others know your identity? If one day, someone knows your true identity, will it..."
Chuchu interrupted Song Yaqing's concerns and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry. Others won't know easily. Besides, even if someone knows my identity one day, I will deal with it. I won't let these people pose any threat to me."
Song Yaqing nodded. Although she still had doubts in her heart, seeing Chu Chu so determined and confident, she stopped asking questions.
"Okay, Mom believes you." Song Yaqing hugged Chuchu tightly, giving her the warmest comfort.
Chu Chu raised her head and said softly, "But, Mom, there are two more people I think I need to tell you."
Song Yaqing loosened her arms, her eyes full of curiosity and questions: "Huh? Who is it? Does Mom know him?"
Chuchu nodded and replied, "Yes, Mom knows them. Moreover, they have lived with us for a long time."
"Zhao Feng?" The first name that came to Song Yaqing's mind was this one that often appeared in their lives.
