251 Found Out The Truth (2/2)

Yao Ling asked Xiao Fang worriedly, ”Are you okay?!”

Xiao Fang took her gaze away from Lin Jian and smiled at Yao Ling, ”I'm fine...”

At this time, Yao Ying and Yao Ling finally realized that Xiao Fang didn't wear her veil. When both of them finally took a good look at Xiao Fang's face... their jaw dropped in surprise. 'It... it can't be...' They thought to themselves.

At the same time, they yelled, ”Mother...”

It... it was Jiu Lan's face! How... how could this be?!

The four of them were frozen on the spot. All of them said at the same time with few different tones, ”Mother?!”

Lin Jian saw the abnormality at Yao Ying and Yao Ling's expression and knew that they noticed something from looking at Xiao Fang's face. Did they know his mother?! He quickly asked their subordinates to clean up the mess and chase away the surviving bandits --- they didn't plan to kill them.

The quartet sat down in front of the fire, trying to warm themselves while talking. Xiao Fang blinked at the couple curiously and asked, ”Why... why did you call me Mother?” She didn't wear her veil because they already knew what she looked like and she probably would start wearing it again the next day.

Yao Ying kept looking at Xiao Fang's face intently and it made her eyes slightly reddened... she didn't realize how much she missed her mother. Although Xiao Fang looked much younger than her mother, she didn't care... it felt like her mother had come back. All of Yao Ling's movement made Xiao Fang felt a bit uncomfortable but the latter was also helpless ah~... Xiao Fang could only let Yao Ling look at her to her heart content.

Yao Ling finally answered her, ”You face... looks just like my deceased mother...”

Lin Jian asked Yao Ling, ”Is it your real mother?” Lin Jian only knew the fact that Yao Ying was saved by the mother-daughter pair, however, he didn't know the real details. If... if her mother was his mother too, didn't it mean Yao Ling was his sister? But... she just said deceased mother... if her mother was the same as his, didn't it mean his mother had already been...

Lin Jian shook his head... No! He had to think positively. There must have been an explanation to this.

Yao Ling shook her head, ”No... she's my adopted mother... She... wanted to kill herself by jumping into the river, however... at that time, she found me...”

Xiao Fang asked in surprise, ”You were being sent away by your real family through the river?”

Yao Ling shook her head. ”I don't know whether it was my real family because I hope that it wasn't, but yes... she found me on the river...”

Yao Ling's face didn't show any hurt at all, but Xiao Fang knew that she had said the wrong thing. From Yao Ling's answer, Xiao Fang could realize her own hastiness... She could put it a little nicer, but she didn't. ”I'm sorry... I didn't mean to...” Xiao Fang felt guilty and she didn't know what to say.

Yao Ling laughed, trying to ease the tension. ”I'm fine... it's just that I'm always convincing myself that there must be some troubles for my parents to let me go... It wasn't because they actually really wanted to abandon me...”

The other three didn't know what else to say, they realized that this was Yao Ling's sore spot. Yao Ying could only comfort her by kissing her forehead and hugged her waist from the side, ”I'm sure it is. Who would be able to let go such a lovely daughter like you?”

Yao Ling smiled and kissed Yao Ying's chin. ”Thank you...” She said softly.

Lin Jian coughed awkwardly because he was forced to watch the dog food once again. He was dying to know about Yao Ling's mother and yet... the other two was busying themselves with lovey-dovey atmosphere ah~!
