Chapter 1225: Chapter 1129: Farewell

Xingxing clung to Gong Xue’er’s neck, crying on her shoulder.

It was as if the moment she let go, her mother would vanish into thin air.

Xia Yangyang stood nearby, witnessing the entire mother-daughter reunion.

But Xia Yangyang’s heart ached immensely.

Why was Xingxing’s mother Gong Xue’er?

The smile at the corner of Gong Xue’er’s mouth made Xia Yangyang feel that her happiness was not genuine but rather an air of self-satisfied triumph following a victory.

But Xia Yangyang couldn’t understand what this victory signified.

Regardless,

She could understand a child’s craving for their mother.

After all, Xingxing was Gong Xue’er’s biological daughter.

No matter what, she certainly wouldn’t harm her own flesh and blood.

Xingxing cried for a while.

Then, breaking into a smile, she said to Xia Ye, “Brother Xia Ye, did you see? I found my mom, I have a mom too.”

The joy emanating from Xingxing’s heart was impossible to hide.

She was eager to share it with the person she cared about most.

The first person she thought of was her Brother Xia Ye.

Xia Ye smiled faintly and slowly said, “As long as you’re happy.”

At this time, both Gong Xue’er and Lu Haotian noticed the child.

Gong Xue’er appeared surprised, “Yangyang, is this your son?”

Xia Yangyang nodded, “This is my son, Xia Ye.”

Xia Yangyang beckoned, and Xia Ye walked over.

Xia Yangyang said, “This is Aunt Gong, and that is Uncle Lu.”

Xia Ye said, “Hello, Aunt Gong.”

Then, turning to greet Lu Haotian, he unexpectedly said, “Hello, Uncle Six.”

Xia Yangyang was astonished.

Why did Xia Ye call Lu Haotian Uncle Six?

Xia Yangyang had not even spoken when

Lu Haotian took the initiative to explain, “Back at my godfather’s place, I met Xiao Ye twice; I am the sixth in line among my siblings, and you are seventh, so her calling me Uncle Six is not unreasonable.”

Xia Yangyang was extremely surprised, “You’ve met before?”

Xia Yangyang’s brows furrowed.

What did this imply?

It indicated that Lu Haotian had actually known about her whereabouts over the years.

Lu Haotian had long known she was the godfather’s daughter.

He had known she had a son.

Yet she had been kept in the dark.

No wonder all these years, Lu Haotian had never attended the family gatherings.

One time, when Xia Yangyang happened to visit Xia Ye, the people at the medicine shop said that Xingxing’s father was also coming over that day.

Xia Yangyang had wanted to meet him and waited.

Later, the people at the medicine shop said that after Xingxing’s father had come in and glanced around, he left immediately.

At that time, Xia Yangyang found it strange.

Thinking back,

Lu Haotian must have come and surely must have seen her.

For all these years, Lu Haotian had been hiding behind the scenes.

While she lived as if she were in a glass bottle, on display for others.

This feeling was very unpleasant.

But now, Xia Yangyang didn’t feel like saying anything.

Gong Xue’er, however, seemed to catch on to something and said with some irony, “It seems that the two of you have maintained a pretty good relationship over the years.”

Gu Qichen approached Xia Yangyang’s side, “We should go say goodbye to the old master.”

Xia Yangyang didn’t wish to stay any longer.

After saying goodbye to the old man, she left with Xia Ye.

As they were leaving, Xingxing was reluctant to part with Xia Ye.

Xingxing and Xia Ye stood at the doorway.

Xingxing stuffed a sachet into Xia Ye’s hand, “I made this sachet myself, it’s filled with sun-dried herbs. When you feel sleepy, smell it, and it will help you feel better. Promise me you’ll always carry it with you, and when you see it, you’ll think of me, okay?”
