Shu Jiaying's words gave Guan Yao'er a slight jolt, but she quickly recovered. With a fake smile, she said, "According to what you said, your old friend is quite pitiful. It's just...it's just how could she be so careless? How old was her daughter when she was lost?"
"I don't know either. I think it must have just been born. What's the matter, Miss Guan? I see you seem very curious about this matter. Do you think my old friend is going too far?"
Shu Jiaying looked carefully at Guan Yaoer's reaction, but there was indeed no big change on Guan Yaoer's face.
Shu Jiaying couldn't help but wonder, could this just be a coincidence? Maybe the Guan Yaoer in front of her had the same name as Xiaohua's mother?
But to be on the safe side, Shu Jiaying continued, "Alas... Actually, if you say that my old friend was excessive, she was indeed a bit, but everyone has their own unspeakable secrets. My old friend wrote her daughter's name on the blanket under the quilt she abandoned. I believe my old friend must have regretted it.
Miss Guan, if something like this happened to you, would you be like my old friend?"
When Guan Yaoer heard her name displayed on the backpack, she already knew what the problem was, but she didn't dare to face it, and she didn't dare to look at Shu Jiaying's expectant eyes.
Feeling inexplicably apprehensive, Guan Yao'er deliberately avoided the question and said, "I sympathize with your personal situation, but I have some things to attend to at Wan'an Hall. I think... I should go back first."
Shu Jiaying did not try to persuade her to stay, because at the last moment she saw Guan Yaoer's discomfort. A voice in her head told her that maybe Guan Yaoer was Xiaohua's biological mother, but she could not confirm it now. She could only wait until she was free to bring Xiaohua to Fengyun Town to have a look.
Perhaps mother and daughter are connected by heart. If Guan Yaoer is really Xiaohua's mother, Shu Jiaying feels that she will never be able to sit still again.
With this plan, Shu Jiaying breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

When it was almost noon, Yu Chenfeng and Kang Ningxia came to Xiaohua's house at the same time.
Seeing Xiaohua patiently raising the chicks that had hatched from the basket of eggs Shu Zhenmeng had given her last time, Kang Ningxia teased, "Xiaohua, when will your chickens grow up? Brother Kang can't wait to eat your roasted chicken, especially the one your sister Jiaying roasts herself. It's so delicious!"
Xiaohua immediately protected the chicken that had lost its yellow feathers.
Xiaohua said, "Brother Kang, your family is so rich, can you please not try to take my chickens? They are not big enough yet and cannot be eaten."
"It's okay...Brother Kang can wait."
“…”
Xiaohua didn't dare to speak. She lowered her head as if to tell Kang Ningxia that she was about to cry.
Before the little flower could shed tears, Yu Chenfeng immediately came out to warn her.
"You little brat, I think you have nothing to do, and you even mess with little girls. Do you know that Yingying loves Xiaohua the most? If Yingying finds out that you bully her sister, you will only be able to lick plates in the future!"
What's the difference between asking a foodie to lick the plate and submitting him to the ten tortures?
Kang Ningxia immediately apologized to Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, don't cry. I was just joking. Your family is so rich, how could I eat your chickens? Don't worry, I won't have any plans to eat the chickens until they grow up."
