Qiao Momo didn't bother to pay attention to Cheng Xiyao, turned around and followed her.
At a corner, Qiao Momo took a serious look at the aunt in front of her. There was an obvious scar above the corner of her eye. Not only that, her legs were also weak and she was limping. She instantly felt distressed.
"Are you really my mother? How come you...work here?" When Qiao Momo saw her pitiful appearance, most of her resentment disappeared, and she felt that her life was even worse than her own.
The aunt raised her head, with a sense of inferiority in her eyes, and nodded: "If that ring is yours, you must be my long-lost daughter. I am doing such a lowly job now, and I shouldn't know you.
But... I have really been looking for you for a long time, my daughter... Mom is sorry for you. Back then, she had no choice but to send you away?" The aunt covered her face and cried bitterly, with endless grievances and sadness.
Qiao Momo's nose felt sour, and she knew that her mother did not abandon her on purpose.
"Mom, please stop crying. I know you didn't abandon me on purpose. You must be loyal, right?" Qiao Momo asked distressedly.
The aunt stretched out her hand to cover her eyes and squeezed out tears, which made her look even more heartbroken and aggrieved.
"Of course, I was being hunted back then and had no way out... You see, mom's legs were broken by those people back then. Mom didn't dare to take you with her, for fear that you would be beaten to death by them..." The aunt said sadly.
As he recounted the tragic scenes of the past, he shrugged his shoulders and cried more and more sadly.
"Who wants to hunt you down?" Qiao Momo was frightened and even more distressed.
"This... can you not tell me? My daughter, God has favored me and allowed me to see you in my lifetime. Let me see..." The aunt stretched out her hand to hold Qiao Momo's arm, her tearful eyes looked up and down.
He looked at her: "Twenty-one years have passed and you have grown up a lot. It's a pity that you don't follow me and you look like your father..."
"Where is my father?" Qiao Momo's eyes lit up, she recognized her mother, and naturally wanted to recognize her father again.
"He..." The aunt couldn't hide her sadness and loss, and then shook her head: "Forget about him, daughter, what are you doing here? Are you a distinguished guest here?"
"Mom, I'm not a distinguished guest, I'm just here to visit with my manager." Qiao Momo said in a low voice.
When the aunt heard that she was not a VIP, her eyes flashed with confusion, and she quickly took a step back: "Daughter, go find your manager. Don't talk to me here, it will lower your status..."
"Mom, what are you talking about? I finally recognized you and you want to drive me away?" Qiao Momo immediately grabbed her hand anxiously: "I won't leave, I want to stay with you."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I still have to work." The aunt immediately showed a gentle smile.
"Mom, when will you get off work? In the evening, I'll treat you to dinner and have a nice chat." Qiao Momo's tone became much gentler.
"I get off work at half past six. Okay, I also want to know how you have been these past years. Mom has been looking forward to finding you." The aunt looked happy.
Qiao Momo gave her the business card: "It has my phone number on it. I'll wait for you downstairs after work."
"Okay, daughter, I'm really happy to see you." The aunt tightened the business card, feeling happy and excited. After Qiao Momo left, she suddenly held the business card tightly in her palms, with a look in her eyes.
The happiness disappeared.
"I didn't expect that she was still alive." A deep resentment appeared on her face.
Since she is still alive, she must keep an eye on her and not let her destroy her biological daughter's status in the Xia family.
This aunt's name was Bai Liuyu. Back then, she stole one of the Xia twins and replaced her with her own daughter. She thought that the baby girl had frozen to death on the roadside, and she deliberately put her necklace and ring on the roadside.
In her silk robe, count
As a sacrifice for her, a memorial tablet was set up next to her and the date of her death was written on it. Unexpectedly, twenty-one years later, she recognized her through the necklace. Her eyebrows looked so similar to Mrs. Xia's.
, Mrs. Xia was a famous beauty in City C back then.
The moment Bai Liuyu saw the necklace, she was so anxious that she recognized Qiao Momo and gained her trust. Bai Liuyu decided to understand the whole thing carefully before making any plans.
Qiao Momo was so excited. She didn't expect that her mother was in this city and she recognized her.
"Momo, I asked the staff. The aunt you are looking for is named Bai Liuyu. She has been working here for more than two years. Is she...really your mother?"
"Well, the necklace and ring I'm wearing belong to her. You said her name is Bai Liuyu? That's right. There are two letters engraved in my ring, namely "ly", which should be the abbreviation of my mother's name." Qiao Mo.
When Mo heard this, she was even more sure that the person was her mother, and her tears turned red with excitement.
"Really? That's such a coincidence. I didn't expect you to recognize your mother here. I'm happy for you too." Zhang Feier said with a smile.
"Well, it's all thanks to you that I had the chance to find her." Qiao Momo looked at Zhang Feier gratefully.
"No, no, no, this is God's will. God arranged for you mother and daughter to get to know each other. I have no credit for it." Zhang Feier waved her hands fiercely.
Qiao Momo took a deep breath: "Maybe it's really God's will."
When she was most helpless, she recognized her closest relatives. From now on, she would have a place to go and someone she could tell her pain to.
"Momo, I thought I saw Cheng Xiyao just now, and she is here too." Zhang Feier said nervously.
"Yes, she is in the small hall over there with a group of her sisters." Qiao Momo's pretty face turned cold as she thought of her rude words to her mother.
"Let's go and don't get into trouble with her. We can't afford to offend someone like her." Zhang Feier decided to withdraw based on the principle that doing more is worse than doing less.
"Okay, let's go." Qiao Momo nodded and looked in the direction of the corridor with some reluctance.
At 6:30 in the afternoon, Qiao Momo was waiting anxiously at the door.
Bai Liuyu came out, wearing a mask and covering her forehead with one hand. When she saw Qiao Momo, she quickly turned around to leave.
"mom……"
Qiao Momo rushed over and took her arm: "Mom, where are you going?"
Bai Liuyu avoided her with a look of panic: "Daughter, how about we get together next time, I have something else to do..."
"Mom, who hit her?" Qiao Momo had already noticed that her forehead was injured, and she suddenly asked with heartache.
"No... no one, I accidentally hurt myself." Bai Liuyu immediately shook her head and avoided her sight.
Qiao Momo reached out and pulled off her mask, and found that there were finger marks on her face. She was even more furious: "Mom, who hit her?"
Bai Liuyu immediately started to cry: "After you left, that lady deliberately made trouble for me and asked me to clean the floor...Daughter, do you have a grudge against her?"
"Cheng Xiyao?" Qiao Momo clenched her fists bitterly: "She took it out on you?"
"No, no, no, it's because I didn't do it well. I accidentally knocked her coffee cup off. It's because I didn't do it carefully..."
"Mom, stop blaming yourself. It's not your fault at all. She just deliberately caused trouble." Qiao Momo couldn't hear the explanation. At this moment, she was filled with anger.
"Daughter, don't be angry. Let them beat them up and vent their anger. Maybe they won't trouble you again in the future. Mom doesn't care." Bai Liuyu showed a simple and honest smile.
Qiao Momo felt as if her heart had been cut into pieces with a knife, and her whole heart ached. Her mother endured the beating for her sake. How could she not feel sad?
