‘ What?!’ Shi Nian and Yun Nan looked at Hai Hua in shock.
Hai Hua said, “I was shocked when I saw the photos. All I could think of was the photo of my cousin when she went missing; she was only a few years old. After so many years, my impression of her had already solidified; I could only see her as the girl she was then. When I saw what I thought was the embroidered portrait of my aunt in the hall downstairs, I suddenly realized that if my cousin was still alive, she would already be a middle-aged woman in her forties.”
“It’s been so many years; we should’ve realized we were unlikely to find her with such outdated photos of her. She’d grown up, and I thought, ‘ What ifshe looks like my aunt or uncle? So, I sent the photos to my family group, and—if things go as expected—they should already be on their way here.”
Shi Nian and Yun Nan were speechless. However, Yun Nan understood Hai Hua’s current feelings very well. “But, if my mother isn’t their daughter, won’t your aunt and uncle be sad?” Yun Nan stated worriedly. “My mother has already passed away. How can we verify it?” Yun Nan was always used to thinking from others’ perspectives, always thinking of others.
“Did your mother have a great influence on your personality?” Hai Hua asked. “Was she considerate, gentle, thoughtful, determined, and never looked back once she set her mind on something?”
Shi Nian was already nodding before Yun Nan could nod. “Based on what you just mentioned, it seems there’s an even higher possibility that Yun Nan’s mother is your cousin. Although Yun Nan is the Yun family’s daughter, she was brought up by her adoptive mother. Her personality is naturally more influenced by her adoptive mother. What you listed out just now are all Yun Nan’s personality traits, which means they’re traits her adoptive mother also shared. Could it be that your aunt also has these traits?”
Hai Hua lightly nodded. “Yes, so when I first met Yun Nan, I didn’t feel she was unfamiliar; instead, I felt very close to her. At the time, I thought it was probably because Yun Nan had a good personality. Now, it seems that there
might have been another reason: it might be because she reminded me of my
aunt.”
When Hai Hua turned to Yun Nan, Yun Nan was already in tears. “My mom— my mom spent her entire life looking for her biological parents and passed on with the greatest regret…’
Yun Nan cried bitterly. Shi Nian held her in his arms and gently patted her back. “There, there. Calm down. We’ll talk about this when we meet Hai Hua’s aunt tomorrow. Try and remember if your mother left anything behind that can help us verify her identity.”
Yun Nan sobbed and shook her head. “The family that bought her abused her since she was young. How could she have been able to keep anything from her original family—”
