Chapter 252 - Jiu Lans Background (1/2)

The couple smiled sheepishly when their interaction was interrupted by Lin Jian's cough, and then finally back to business. Yao Ling said, ”What do you want to know?” There were a lot of unanswered questions about Lin Jian's mother's whereabouts, could she possibly be...? She was curious as well.

”Your mother's origin!” Lin Jian quickly said. Xiao Fang didn't say anything, but everyone could see the anxiousness in her eyes.

Yao Ling shook her head. ”I don't know... I only knew that I'm only an adopted daughter when she was on the last stage of her sickness...” Yao Ling said weakly. She started to realize that there were so many things that she didn't know about her mother... If her mother was alive and well, Yao Ling knew that she wouldn't tell her that Yao Ling was adopted. She merely told her, so she had a new task in life and not to drown herself in sorrow after Jiu Lan's death.

Yao Ling asked hesitantly, ”Does your mother has a twin?”

Lin Jian shook his head. ”No...”

Yao Ling looked at Yao Ying, and with Yao Ying's encouragement, she asked, ”Is... is it possible that my mother is also yours?!”

Lin Jian couldn't believe that the truth could turn out this way. Did Heaven play a joke with their fate?

Lin Jian answered sadly, ”I don't know... I hope it's true and at the same time, it's not... If we have the same mother, doesn't it mean that mine and Xiao Fang's mother was already dead?”

Yao Ling said, ”If you want to say about appearance, Xiao Fang looks just like my mother. However, if you are still unconvinced, do you remember whether your mother has any distinguished characteristic or not?”

Yao Ling thought that it was the only possible way to prove they had the same mother. Life was surely full of fate. The four people here... their life was actually connected from the start... They had the same mother... How funny was that?

This revelation left them speechless. After all, they thought each other as best friends... It turned out their relationship was more than that.

Lin Jian finally answered Yao Ling's question, ”I don't really remember much about it... However, one person could...” At that time, Lin Jian was still a little boy and based on his memory, he could only remember his mother's blurry face. If it wasn't because of his mother's painting that his father had, he probably would have forgotten what she looked like.

Yao Ying said, ”General Lin.”

Lin Jian nodded. ”He's the one who will be able to answer this...”

They had their suspicion, but actually... deep within, they already knew the answer. It was just Lin Jian didn't want to face it. He had long wanted to meet his mother once again, but if she was dead... he... would crumble... He could only close his eyes and sigh in defeat.

On the other hand, Xiao Fang just found out that she had this mother. Now, she found out that she was probably dead. She didn't know what to think... At first, she didn't know whether she would admit the Ce Fei as her mother, but... now... she had no chance to know the woman at all. She was already gone...

Yao Ying tried to make a concession by saying, ”You can send a message to General Lin. Ask about your mother's distinguished character and we can match it up with Yao Ling's mother.”

Lin Jian nodded numbly. That was the only thing that he could do. However, there were so many things that he wanted to ask... He decided to ask, after all, they were good friends and he didn't need to feel hesitate, ”How... how did she live all this time?”
