"Come with me."
After finishing speaking, Li Mochuan didn't look at Mei Aiqing standing in front of him again and walked straight into the depths of the corridor.
Mei Aiqing pondered for a moment, then cautiously followed Li Mochuan until they entered a ward in a corner.
"Mr. Li."
Mei Aiqing closed the door and stood cautiously by it, looking at Li Mochuan standing by the window with his back to her. Suddenly, she felt uneasy.
Her eyes fell on the empty hospital bed, and she stammered as she asked.
"You...you came to me...what exactly do you want..."
Finally, Li Mochuan suddenly turned around and asked.
Do you remember the jade pendant with two dragons that Ye Ruoxin wore before?
Mei Aiqing didn't react for a moment. She looked up and stared at Li Mochuan in astonishment, clearly not expecting him to suddenly ask her such a question.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
Li Mochuan narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze fixed on Mei Aiqing.
"What, is this question difficult to answer?"
Mei Aiqing clenched her hands nervously, shook her head immediately, and hurriedly said to Li Mochuan.
"No...no...I still remember Xinxin's jade pendant."
Li Mochuan took a few steps toward Mei Aiqing, looking down at the middle-aged woman in front of him, and asked, word by word.
"Where did Ye Ruoxin get that jade pendant with two dragons?"
Mei Aiqing became even more nervous, and her eyes began to dart away.
She tightened her collar, pressed hard against her chest, bit her lower lip, and said in a hoarse voice.
"I...I..."
Seeing Mei Aiqing's expression, Li Mochuan took another step forward, forcing Mei Aiqing to take a step back.
A cold glint flashed in Li Mochuan's eyes. His patience was wearing thin. Finally, he reached out and grabbed Mei Aiqing's neck tightly, growling through gritted teeth.
"Tell me, what's the deal with that jade pendant?!"
Mei Aiqing's back slammed against the wall, and she couldn't help but groan in pain. She tilted her head back and tried to pry open Li Mochuan's hand that was choking her throat.
She gasped for breath, opened her mouth wide, her face turning blue and purple, before finally managing to speak.
"You...you let go...I...I can't...I can't breathe..."
A bloodshot glint flashed in Li Mochuan's eyes.
"explain!"
A single word was uttered.
Mei Aiqing finally caught her breath and spoke to Li Mochuan in a hoarse voice.
"That...it's...it's Xinxin's! You...let...let go..."
Mei Aiqing hadn't been able to catch her breath for a long time, and her face was pale and looked terrible.
Seeing Mei Aiqing like this, Li Mochuan finally loosened his grip.
Mei Aiqing clutched her neck and slid down the wall bit by bit, collapsing to the ground with a terrible expression.
Her breathing sounded like a broken old bellows, constantly emitting a heavy and broken sound.
"Heh...heh...heh...heh..."
Li Mochuan took a deep breath, barely managing to suppress the turbulent emotions within him.
Once Mei Aiqing had finally caught her breath, she looked up at Li Mochuan, who was standing in front of her with a stern face, and slowly began to speak.
“Mr. Li, as you should know, Xinxin is our daughter who was lost for many years and was found again. When we found her, she was wearing this jade pendant.”
Li Mochuan frowned, looking at Mei Aiqing with a scrutinizing gaze before finally answering his last question.
"Is Ye Ruoxin really your daughter?"
Mei Aiqing pondered for a moment before nodding and answering firmly.
"Yes, Xinxin is of course my daughter. She is my most precious daughter! I have been waiting and thinking about her for so many years. It was not easy to finally bring her back to me!"
Li Mochuan's feelings were somewhat complicated.
After a long while, he turned and left without saying a word.
Mei Aiqing only let out a heavy sigh of relief after the ward door was closed again.
She lowered her head, her eyes red, and muttered to herself.
"I'm sorry, Wanwan, Mom didn't mean it! But Xinxin is already in such a bad situation, and you at least have Master Pei to help you, so let's give this benefit to Xinxin."
When Li Mochuan pressed her about the jade pendant with two dragons, Mei Aiqing guessed that the jade pendant probably had some connection with Li Mochuan.
After all, when the Ye family adopted Ye Ningwan from the orphanage, the orphanage director had told her something.
When Jiangcheng was flooded, the headmistress found a little girl who had fainted on a wooden plank. There was blood on her head, and she had been unconscious for a long time.
The headmistress rescued the little girl, but when she woke up, she had lost her memory and couldn't remember anything except a jade pendant with her birth date and time engraved on it.
The headmistress had asked people to look for the little girl's parents, but they hadn't been able to find them. Many people had died in the flood, and the headmistress guessed that the little girl's family members might have all passed away, leaving only the little girl alive in this world.
So when Mei Aiqing came looking for a girl who was born on the same day, month, and year as her daughter, the headmistress introduced the girl to Mei Aiqing.
Unexpectedly, Mei Aiqing was immediately attracted by Ye Ningwan's delicate face upon seeing her and agreed to adopt the little girl.
