From the very moment Chen Yao got out of the car, Yun Nan knew that this person must be her mother’s biological mother!

It was because they looked too similar. Yun Nan finally understood why Hai Hua had immediately thought of her aunt based on an embroidered portrait. It was because the figure in embroidery looked exactly like her aunt when she was young. Just as Hai Hua had recognized her aunt from the portrait, Yun Nan also recognized Chen Yao at a glance because she looked like her mother, just aged several years.

Yun Nan was in as much pain as Chen Yao was. The two shared a connection via an unfortunate woman named Xiao He. Chen Yao pulled Yun Nan close and sized her up before softly saying, “What’s your name, dear child?”

‘Yun Nan. My name is Yun Nan. My mother refused to take her adoptive parents’ surname, so she took my adoptive father’s surname, Mo. Her name was MO Xiao He,” Yun Nan answered.

Chen Yao’s eyes filled with tears. “Xiao He? Xiao He? Was her name really Xiao

Yun Nan nodded. Chen Yao sobbed, “Her birth name was Gu He. We welcomed her birth with exultant joy and thought it was a day worth celebrating, so we gave her the nickname ‘Xiao He,’ meaning ‘little celebration.’ I didn’t expect that she would actually remember.”

Yun Nan also burst out crying. The name Xiao He was probably the only memory her mother had left of her original family. Therefore, after she met her adoptive father, she changed her name to MO Xiao He. It was her husband’s surname with the name in her memory. ‘So, did she feel slightly comforted when others called her name? Yun Nan wondered.

Shi Nian stepped forward and gently patted Yun Nan’s shoulder, indicating for her not to be too sad. Hai Hua also held and helped keep Chen Yao on her feet as she said, “Auntie, Yun Nan said that when her mother was still alive, she had once drawn her a piece of jade. Try and recall. Did my cousin wear a jade pendant when she went missing?”

Gu Bei and Chen Yao nodded without hesitation. “Yes, yes, she did! We put a piece of jade on her when she was born. It was a protection charm; she never took it off. ”

Hai Hua nodded. “Auntie, why don’t you and Yun Nan each draw the shape of that piece of jade?”

Gu Bei instantly understood Hai Hua’s intention and nodded in approval. Yun Nan and Shi Nian also understood. Xiang Yang and Fang Xi quickly brought out pens and paper, and then Yun Nan and Chen Yao drew shapes on the paper with their backs to each other.
