Chapter 19: Don’t You Remember Your Own Mother?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Li Manor, Li Duidui was in his room. He had been in low spirits ever since he failed to catch whoever it was he was chasing.

“Mrs. Li, what happened? Why is Young Master Junior upset?” the old housekeeper asked Mrs. Li after seeing the boy’s unhappy expression.

Mrs. Li had a look of discontent. “I don’t know either. He was fine when we were shopping for toys and clothes. Then, he suddenly ran out. He seemed to be chasing someone but he stopped halfway. He apologized for running and said he was naughty. My heart hurts just looking at that sad face.”

The old housekeeper wondered for a moment before saying, “Could it be he saw his mother?”

Judging from Mrs. Li’s story, it seemed likely Young Master Junior saw his biological mother and gave chase.

“No.” Mrs. Li shook her head in disappointment. “I got people to look into it. There was only the Rong family heir, Rong Weiwei. It’s impossible she’s Duidui’s mother.”

She remembered the Rong family princess had been very active in the entertainment industry for the past few years—there was no way she could have had a child. Mrs. Li’s gut told her Rong Weiwei was not as prim and proper as her public persona suggested.

Perhaps it was not Li Duidui’s mother he was chasing. Aunt Wang—the housekeeper—had a thoughtful expression. “Then why would the boy be upset?”

More than anyone, Mrs. Li wanted to know the truth. She did not respond to the housekeeper’s question.

When Duidui ran out of the shop, she truly believed he had caught sight of his mother.

Mrs. Li had been fussing over her grandchild’s biological mother for some time. She had asked the little boy but he could never give a straight answer.

Perhaps he did not remember his mother.

However, Duidui was almost five years old.

At that age, he should have memories of his life before. The child had been delivered to the Li family doorstep and Mrs. Li believed the mother was the sender.

Duidui had lived with his mother for almost five years so he would definitely remember her face. However, he refused to reveal her identity. Every time Mrs. Li asked, he would just purse his lips and say he forgot.

Li Shengxiao’s father had passed away a long time ago so Mrs. Li and her son took care of each other. She did not have high expectations of Duidui’s mother, as long as her grandson was happy. The mother’s social status did not have to match Li Shengxiao’s. Their family was small—three including Duidui—so social class did not matter.

As she stewed in her frustrations, the sound of an approaching car was heard.

Surprise crossed her face and she quickly ordered the housekeeper, “See if that’s Shengxiao.”

“Yes.”

The old housekeeper understood Mrs. Li’s eagerness. The young master was usually busy with work and only visited on weekends. The weekend had not come so his visit was unusual.

“It is the young master. He has a…beautiful lady with him.”

“What?”

Lin Zhiya was surprised by the visit and the extra guest.

This…

She could not hold her jaw together.

Her son loathed women, and yet he was back with one!

Before she could regain her senses, Li Shengxiao entered with Rong Yan in tow.

Needless to say, Rong Yan’s appearance was deceptive. She had beautiful fair skin and was dressed in a T-shirt and jeans. However, the simple outfit looked immaculate on her.

“Mother,” greeted Li Shengxiao.

“Hello, Mrs. Li,” greeted the woman.

“Yes, hello.” Mrs. Li’s eyes did not leave Rong Yan as she directed the housekeeper. “Aunt Wang, please serve some coffee.”

“Of course.” The housekeeper rushed off to attend to the task.
