Chapter 164: Is It Mom?
It was the uncle who went up very attentively and asked, "Ling Zhaoting, is this your house?"
"Yes, uncle, the house is a little simple, which makes you laugh. ”
"Where is it shabby? I look at the paintings on the wall, the vases on the ground, they are all worth a lot, right?"
"It's not a rare thing, if my uncle likes it, I'll have someone bring a few back for you to play with. ”
Uncle rubbed his hands: "How embarrassing this is." ”
"It's okay, when you leave, I'll personally have someone send you back. ”
The uncle thanked him several more times before he sat down embarrassedly.
Seeing this, Lu Youyou didn't say anything.
At this time, Aunt Rong went out, but after a while, she brought someone over and said, "This is a distant relative of the family, and this time I also came with me." ”
"I don't know what to call it?" Lu Youyou asked.
"Call me Aunt Lan. ”
"Aunt Lan, hello. ”
Lu Youyou looked at Aunt Rong a little strangely, and Aunt Rong said: "You don't have to be surprised, she experienced a fire a few years ago and burned her face, so she wore a mask to cover the scars on her face." ”
Lu Youyou looked at her face sympathetically and said, "Our family doctor has a particularly good ointment for treating burns, why don't you take some back later." ”
"Thank you in advance. Aunt Lan said.
For the next time, Lu Youyou was talking to her grandmother and uncle, but Lu Youyou found that Aunt Lan, who was wearing a mask who came in later, seemed to have been staring at herself, Lu Youyou was a little strange and asked, "This is ......"
Aunt Lan hurriedly looked away and said, "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I see you are beautiful." ”
Lu Youyou smiled at her.
However, she always felt that this Aunt Lan seemed to be very kind, but after thinking about it, they were all relatives in the family, and they were somewhat related by blood, so it depends on the fact that everyone is close.
In the evening, Lu Youyou asked the maid to prepare a lot of delicious meals, and several people chatted while eating.
At the dinner table, Aunt Lan kept giving Lu Youyou vegetables: "Lu Youyou, this dish is good for your body, you eat more." ”
"Thank you, Aunt Lan, you can eat too. ”
Aunt Lan didn't move her chopsticks, but kept staring at Lu Youyou.
Lu Youyou was a little strange: "Aunt Lan, do I have something on my face?"
Aunt Lan smiled a little crampedly: "It's nothing, I used to be good friends with your mother, and I saw that you looked very similar to your mother, so I took a few more looks." ”
Lu Youyou put down her chopsticks and said, "Aunt Lan, can you tell me about my mother?"
"Of course, I'll talk to you after dinner. ”
When Lu Youyou heard this, she came to her senses, hurriedly finished eating, and sent her grandmother and uncle back to the room before entering Aunt Lan's room.
"Aunt Lan, this is a guest room, if you need anything, just ask, the maid is not good at serving, you can also tell me. ”
"No, they take good care of them. ”
"Aunt Lan, when you were eating just now, you said that you knew my mother, is this true?"
"Of course it's true, my mother and I have been good friends since childhood, I know her very well, speaking of which, you look seven or eight points similar to your mother, and seeing you is like seeing her when she was young. ”
Lu Youyou suddenly sighed with emotion, remembering the photo she saw when she was at her grandmother's house.
The woman in the photo has fair and smooth skin, delicate facial features, and looks very similar to her, presumably her mother.
But if you look closely, this Aunt Lan's eyes are almost exactly the same as her mother's!
She had a delusion, could this woman be her mother?
This thought flashed through her mind, and she suddenly became a little nervous and asked, "Aunt Lan, what is your full name?"
"Alas, I'm just an ominous person, so what do I have my full name?"
"Are you not married, do you have children?"
Aunt Lan hesitated for a moment and said, "I have always lived alone. ”
"Then according to generation, I call you Aunt Lan, what is your relationship with my grandmother's family?"
"I'm your grandmother's daughter-in-law, the last time you came back, I happened to be out on business, so I didn't see you. I heard that you had been here when I came back, so I wanted to come and see it this time. ”
Seeing that her answer was fluent, Lu Youyou suddenly let go of her doubts again.
If this Aunt Lan is really a mother, why did she meet her in this way?
It must really be a distant relative in the family.
Lu Youyou's eyes darkened, and she said, "Aunt Lan, in fact, I miss my mother very much. ”
Seeing that she was sad, Aunt Lan's eyes instantly turned red and said, "Yo Yo, your mother has always missed you." ”
"What? Aunt Lan, do you mean that my mother is still alive?"
Aunt Lan hurriedly looked away and said, "No, your mother has passed away, but I guess she must miss you very much, otherwise she wouldn't have been worried about you before she died." ”
"Worried about me?" What did she say?"
"Your mother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to you. I just glanced at you and left. She asked the doctor to bring us a message, please let us be sure to raise you to adulthood, but you were taken away by your father. Later, your grandmother went to ask your father if he wanted to visit you, but your father's company at that time also improved financially, and your grandmother thought that he could take care of you, so you have been raised by your father. ”
"And what did my mother say?"
"She said......" Aunt Lan hesitated for a long time before saying, "She said that she hopes that you will grow up safely and healthily, and in this life, it is best to be happy and happy, and not have any injuries or disasters." ”
Lu Youyou was stunned.
I didn't expect my mother to think about her before she died.
In fact, mothers all over the world are not the same, they all hope that their children are safe and healthy, and there are no disasters. It's normal for your mother to think like this, and she also said that she hopes you don't miss her too much. ”
The more Lu Youyou listened, the more she felt that this Aunt Lan didn't seem to be simple.
At the beginning, my father clearly said that my mother died in childbirth after giving birth, how could this Aunt Lan know so clearly?
Lu Youyou asked again, "Aunt Lan, will you be my mother?"
Hearing this, Aunt Lan was stunned.
Lu Youyou stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, Aunt Lan suddenly came back to her senses and said, "How is it possible? How can I be your mother?"
"But ......"
"Don't think about it, I'm just a good friend of your mother, I don't want you to be hurt, if you're really sad, you can treat me as your mother. ”
"That's ......" Lu Youyou was a little disappointed.
However, after hearing Aunt Lan's words today, she can be regarded as indirectly communicating with her mother.
If my mother is still alive, I must hope that she is safe and healthy, and I don't want her to go through so many bad things every day.
"Aunt Lan, how do you know these things?"
"I, of course, listened to the doctor. ”
"Is it the doctor who delivered me?"
"Of course, by the way, Yo Yo, is that your husband downstairs?"
Lu Youyou was a little embarrassed: "I'm not married yet, so I'm not a husband." However, there have been some recent events that the wedding has been postponed, and it will not be held until later. ”
Seeing this scene, Aunt Lan smiled with relief: "Heroine, as long as you feel happy." ”
"Of course I feel very happy with Ling Zhaoting. ”
Seeing the expression on Aunt Lan's face, Lu Youyou seemed to feel that she was talking to her daughter.
Only a mother would have such a satisfied smile on her face.
However, since Aunt Lan denied it, there was no need for her to ask again.
She'll find out the truth on her own.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while and went downstairs.
Although Aunt Lan said that she knew about her mother, in the end, there were few new things, or the ones she had heard before, which made her feel depressed.
It was late at night, and Lu Youyou was lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
An An in his arms fell asleep, Lu Youyou helped him cover the quilt and went out lightly.
"Ling Zhaoting, what are you doing when you don't sleep?"
"I have something to tell you. ”
Lu Youyou glanced at An An on the bed, and followed Ling Zhaoting to the corridor.
"What's the matter?"
"This is not the place to talk, come with me to the bedroom. ”
"An An is here alone, I don't feel at ease. ”
"Just call some servants and watch it. ”
Lu Youyou saw that he really seemed to have something to say, so he went to order the servants to let them guard here, and he followed Ling Zhaoting to the bedroom.
"What's the matter, God is mysterious. ”
"Is it true that your relatives came here out of nowhere to ask why you postponed the wedding?
Ling Zhaoting thought about it, told Ling Zhaoting Aunt Rong's words, and said: "It's a pity that they came at the wrong time, now that Dad is grounded, there is no way to come out to meet, if Grandma and they know about this, they will definitely have more resentment towards Daddy." ”
Based on what my uncle said, it seems that they both hate their father.
Ling Zhaoting's dark eyes deepened, and he said, "Actually, this matter is not very difficult. ”
"Do you have a way?" Lu Youyou's eyes lit up.
"It's just a phone call or a video call. ”
"No, no, I didn't discuss it with my father in advance, and I will definitely reveal my stuffing when the time comes. ”
"Then go see him. ”
Lu Youyou frowned: "Look at him, but there are so many bodyguards and plainclothes detectives guarding the door, how can I get in?"
My father is still a suspect, how can he say that he will visit?
Ling Zhaoting smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way." ”
Lu Youyou glanced at him suspiciously and said, "What do you want to do so diligently?"
"Approved by your parents, of course. ”
Last time, my uncle's attitude towards them was very unfriendly, and if my uncle liked things at home, he would send them to them, hoping to get his uncle's blessing.
As for grandma, if she wants to see Lu Zhenhua, let her see it.
Lu Youyou said again: "Ling Zhaoting, in fact, you don't have to be like this. ”
"I want your family's approval and blessings, and even if they didn't show up for our wedding, I want them to bless us with a smile and not complain about this kind of marriage. ”
Lu Youyou thought about it carefully, and finally said: "Okay, Ling Zhaoting, you go and arrange it, and when the time comes, let Dad and Grandma have a video call." ”
If the conversation goes well, maybe their relationship can ease up a lot.
Seeing that Lu Youyou's face was a little relaxed, Ling Zhaoting asked again......
"Also, such a great opportunity, don't you ask your mother?"
"Asked, do you remember that Aunt Lan last night? The one who wore the mask, although she said that she and my mother were good friends, but I had the illusion that she was my mother. ”
"What?" Ling Zhaoting was very surprised, glancing in the direction of the guest room.
That's just an ordinary woman, she should be forty or fifty years old, could she be Lu Youyou's mother?
"I don't know, I just have such a feeling, but no matter how much I ask, Aunt Lan tries her best to deny it, so that I don't have an idea. ”
