Chapter 116: Mother And Daughter Meet

Ling Xuewei had never believed in fortune-telling in the past but now, her heart started to waver uncontrollably.

As for this pendant, others could only know that she treasured it very much. It was impossible for them to know the reason behind it.

Even her real family background was impossible for others to know.

The information that could be found on the internet regarding her family was only half-true.

Therefore, it was impossible to deduce her real family situation through those reports.

Under such circumstances, Lin Bai could still accurately tell that this was a keepsake token left for her by her mother.

This was something that Ling Xuewei had no choice but to believe.

“… Can you really do face-reading?”

Ling Xuewei could not help but ask for confirmation again.

Lin Bai nodded and replied with an extremely certain tone, “Yes.”

Ling Xuewei immediately followed up with another question.

“Is my mother really at the main entrance?”

Even she herself did not realize that her voice was already trembling uncontrollably.

Twenty years of hard work and searching were all for the day when she would be able to find her mother who had run away from home back then.

Now that she suddenly knew that the opportunity was right in front of her, Ling Xuewei could no longer control herself at this moment no matter how calm and rational she was.

She was so nervous and excited that her entire body was trembling slightly. She was staring at Lin Bai without blinking.

She longed for an answer, but she was also afraid to hear it.

Such conflicting feelings and intense emotions were a state that she had never experienced before.

Lin Bai said, “If you don’t believe me, you can follow me to the door to take a look.”

Ling Xuewei stood up immediately without thinking.

“Okay!”

She couldn’t wait to see the answer with her own eyes.

The sealed memories spread like a flood. Ling Xuewei felt as if she had returned to the dark country road from many years ago.

She didn’t even know how she had gotten out of the office or how she had gotten down the stairs.

Memories and reality intertwined, making her feel as if she was in a dream.

In the lobby on the first floor, Assistant Wang saw that Ling Xuewei’s expression wasn’t right, so he chased after her and asked,

“President Ling, where are you going?”

Ling Xuewei acted as if she didn’t hear him and continued to walk out quickly.

She wasn’t paying attention, and she tripped over as she stepped on the carpet in her high heels.

However, she still staggered out quickly.

Assistant Wang felt that something was wrong. He grabbed Lin Bai’s arm and questioned loudly, “What’s going on? Where are you taking President Ling?!”

Lin Bai shook off his hand and said coldly, “There’s no need to explain to you!”

As he spoke, Ling Xuewei had already walked far away.

Lin Bai ignored him and quickly followed her.

Assistant Wang gritted his teeth and followed her.

He had been working under Ling Xuewei for three to four years and had never seen her lose her composure like this.

Therefore, he was certain that Ling Xuewei must have been provoked and must find out what was going on.

At the main entrance.

The security guards were chasing away a homeless woman.

The woman was dressed in tattered clothes that did not fit the season. Her hair was already more than half white and her face was full of the weather. She looked very old.

However, she had obviously tidied herself up on purpose. Although the clothes on her were tattered, they were not dirty. Her hair had also been carefully combed.

It was obvious that she had done her best to leave a good impression on her daughter.

Unfortunately, she could not even pass the security guards.

“I am really Xue’s mother. I left this pendant to her. Look at her, she was wearing the pendant even during a photoshoot for a magazine. She must really want to find me. If you let me go in and meet her, you’ll know that I’m not lying! Please, let me go in and meet her! I’m really her mother!”

The homeless woman held the magazine with Ling Xuewei’s picture on it. She pointed at the pendant on the cover and tried to explain over and over again.

The security guard did not listen to a single word of hers and continued to chase her away in a rough manner.

“Go, go, go!”

“Why didn’t you look in the mirror before trying to pretend to be her relative? What kind of status does President Ling have? How could she have a mother like you!”

“Hurry up and leave! Otherwise, I’ll call the police!”

The homeless woman did not give up and continued to point at the pendant on the photo.

“Look at this pendant. I gave it to her back then. There’s no mistake!”

The security guard said angrily, “You just have to force me to do it, Don’t you?!”

Ling Xuewei saw the security guard arguing with someone from afar and ran over.

However, when she saw the appearance of the homeless woman clearly, she froze again. Her legs seemed to be weighed down by weights and she could not take a single step forward.

That face of the person that had been through a lot of hardships and looked like it was in its sixties or seventies. No matter what, it did not match the face in her memory.

The mother in her memory was so gentle and beautiful.

Even though her mother was often battered with bruises after being beaten up by her father, she would still hug Ling Xuewei in her arms at night and softly comfort her, telling her not to cry and not to be afraid.

The mother in her memory was the most beautiful woman in the entire village. No matter where she went, she would attract the attention of countless men. There would always be people who would try to curry favor with her in the open and in the dark.

However, the woman in front of her had tattered clothes, white hair, and a hunched figure. She did not look like a beauty at all?

‘Is she the mother whom I’ve been searching for in the last 20 years?’

‘No! It can’t be! How could my mother have become like this!? She’s not my mother!’

This was not the mother in her memory!

Ling Xuewei stood rooted to the ground, unable to move forward or retreat. She just stared blankly at the security guards who were trying to chase away that poor woman.

She felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. It was rapidly expanding, almost tearing her apart.

As the homeless woman struggled, she suddenly saw Ling Xuewei.

She did not know where she got the strength from, but she suddenly broke free from the security guards’ grip and pounced onto Ling Xuewei.

Ling Xuewei subconsciously wanted to dodge, but in the end, she did not move. She just let the homeless woman pounce on her and hugged her tightly.

She heard the homeless woman’s heart-wrenching cries.

“Little Xue! Mommy has finally found you! I missed you so much! It’s been hard on you all these years! Mommy has let you down!”

One sentence after another pierced into Ling Xuewei’s heart like thousands of steel needles.

When the security guard saw this, he wanted to go forward and pull away from the homeless woman.

However, he quickly realized that Ling Xuewei had no intention of pushing away the homeless woman.

Thus, he hesitated and stopped in his tracks. He carefully observed the expression on Ling Xuewei’s face and did not dare to rush forward again.

Lin Bai and Assistant Wang finally arrived at this time.

Assistant Wang saw that the homeless woman was hugging Ling Xuewei and immediately went forward to stop her.

Lin Bai grabbed him and coldly warned, “Don’t disturb them! Otherwise, I will make sure you can’t speak again!”

Assistant Wang’s heart trembled, and a strong sense of fear instantly filled his heart.

He could clearly feel the pressure emanating from Lin Bai’s body. This made him unable to think of resisting at all because he believed that Lin Bai could do as he said..
