437 Officer, Shes the One Who Seduced Me Firs (1/2)
Madam Xu smiled and nodded in agreement. ”After hearing what you said, I find it truly incredible too. I bumped into her once when I was buying some joss sticks previously. She was buying some things too.”
”Has your daughter spoken about my family before?” Military Commander Xu asked.
”About your family? No, she hasn't brought anything up before,” Commander-in-Chief answered.
Military Commander Xu felt an immediate sense of relief upon hearing his answer. ”Youran has had some conflicts with your daughter. It's a long story.”
”Oh, really? I see,” the Commander-in-Chief replied, slightly taken aback.
Xu Youran put on an awkward smile and said while sitting beside her mother, ”I saw her just now at my mother-in-law's place. We're sisters-in-law now.”
”There's no point in taking trivial matters and conflicts to heart. If there's any misunderstanding between you two, just talk things out and you'll be fine.”
Pretending to be sensible, Xu Youran nodded abidingly and said, ”Yeah, I thought so too.”
”Commander-in-Chief, since she's so accurate in fortune-telling, have you ever consulted her to read your fortune?” Madam Xu asked.
”Yes, I have. She's indeed very accurate,” said the Commander-in-Chief, beaming with limitless joy.
”Is she naturally gifted or was she taught by a master?” Madam Xu asked out of sheer curiosity.
Recalling the answer An Xiaoning had given him when he asked the same question, the Commander-in-Chief explained, ”She said that she was a natural and her skills were further improved under the guidance of her master. She's had a very arduous and difficult childhood, which was far from the luxurious life she's living now. She was abandoned at her village when she was a child, and her adoptive parents took her in for a few years. However, 20 years ago, some of the villagers were extremely superstitious and claimed that she was a jinx. Thinking that she was an unlucky child who would bring about misfortune, her adoptive parents decided to abandon her at the temple belonging to her master, who then took her in.”
”I see,” said Madam Xu, who felt rather moved.
Xu Youran stood up and said, ”Mother, I'm going back to my room to pack my belongings.”
”Alright, go ahead.”
At the thought of his Goddaughter, the Commander-in-Chief could not help but blabber on continuously about her, ”As the saying goes, when there's a will, there's a way. See how well she's getting on with life now.”
”Exactly. But, she seems pretty young. She should be a lot younger than Youran,” said Madam Xu.
After a moment of silence, the Commander-in-Chief said, ”She's 29 years old this year. In fact, she's turning 30 in July.”
”Twenty-nine? She's as old as Youran then. What a coincidence, Youran is also born in July.”
”Is that so? She's born in the middle of July, on the first day of the Hungry Ghost Festival,” the Commander-in-Chief said in astonishment.
Madam Xu's jaw dropped, and she turned to look at her husband before exclaiming in astonishment, ”They actually share the same birthday.”
”That's very coincidental, indeed,” said the Commander-in-Chief, who was greatly taken aback as well.
”But wasn't she abandoned? Was her birth date written on the blanket she was wrapped in?” Madam Xu questioned.
”I don't think so. Her master was the one who told her that her birthday was in mid-July. Her master is even more skilled than she is, she would have been speaking the truth.”
Madam Xu was perplexed and in disbelief of how such a coincidence actually existed.
After the Commander-in-Chief left, she said to her husband softly, ”How do you think something so coincidental could actually happen?” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
”What's the big deal about sharing the same birthday? There are many people in this world who have the same birthday,” said Military Commander Xu, who was unimpressed.
Madam Xu stood up and returned to her bedroom to take out an old photograph from her drawer.
It was a precious photograph of herself carrying her newborn daughter in her arms, the one and only photo they had together, which she held dearly to her heart.
Madam Xu was filled with agony upon recalling the days of searching for her missing daughter.
She could finally be at peace now that her daughter had already gotten married and would be building a family of her own with her husband.
