In the café, graceful and soothing music echoed all around, filling the entire space with a quiet yet romantic and cozy atmosphere.

However, Ye Xunhuan and Jian Yunong were completely unable to perceive this warm and quiet ambience.

Especially Jian Yunong, her face was full of panic and anxiety. She hadn’t expected that Su Mingxuan insisted on coming to Jiangzhong City not for the purpose of studying and building a closer relationship with Mei Hanqing, but to reveal everything to Mei Hanqing.

This was definitely a bolt from the blue for Jian Yunong, a heavy blow!

She also wanted to reunite with Mei Hanqing and tell her everything, but her heart was filled with fear!

More than twenty years had passed, and she had never given Mei Hanqing a bite to eat or a sip to drink.

During these twenty years, she had shouldered everything alone, relying solely on herself no matter what dangers or confusions she faced.

She had reached her current achievements through her own abilities, achieving considerable success.

When she encountered difficulties, dangers, or bullying, did she ever hate her parents?

Now, after over twenty years, she no longer needed parental protection; she was fully self-reliant.

Yet, just when she was in her prime with her career, she appeared in front of her, found her, and wanted to acknowledge her!

What would she think?

Various reasons made Jian Yunong want to reunite with Mei Hanqing, but she feared that Mei Hanqing might not only fail to recognize her as her mother but also keep her at a distance.

If that happened, she wouldn’t even have the chance to meet or talk to her daughter alone, which is why she dared not!

She wanted to gradually build a relationship with Mei Hanqing and tell her everything when the time was right.

But plans never keep pace with changes; her son Su Mingxuan revealed everything to Mei Hanqing.

At this moment, Jian Yunong’s heart was in her throat.

Meanwhile, Mei Hanqing was sitting stiffly beside her.

Though she had already guessed that she might be Jian Yunong’s daughter, hearing it from Su Mingxuan gave her a different feeling.

She had no doubt about Su Mingxuan’s words.

If she weren’t Jian Yunong’s daughter, why would she treat her so well, take her shopping, and give her extremely valuable gifts?

If she weren’t Jian Yunong’s daughter, why did she stare at her incessantly upon their first meeting, especially with such a charming and greedy gaze sweeping over her?

Looking at Jian Yunong and Su Mingxuan in front of her, bitterness, resentment, and sorrow slowly rose in Mei Hanqing’s heart...

These feelings were churning within Mei Hanqing.

Mei Hanqing had once sworn countless times in her heart that if she ever saw her parents, she would unleash her sharp tongue and tell them that even if she lived her life without parents, she could still go far and still become a person of importance!

But when the truth came, those so-called vows became meaningless harsh words because she couldn’t say a single word!

With the truth now revealed, Mei Hanqing only wanted to ask: Do you know my hardships over these years? If you didn’t want me, why bring me into this world? Why abandon me back then?

But she didn’t know how to start asking these questions.

Seeing Mei Hanqing silent, Su Mingxuan didn’t stop but continued speaking to her: "Sister, come back to Su Hang with me, will you..."

"Su Mingxuan, shut up!" Jian Yunong finally couldn’t bear it anymore and reprimanded Su Mingxuan with a low voice.

Jian Yunong’s low shout instantly attracted the attention of many people in the café.

Faced with these gazes, Jian Yunong paid no attention, coldly staring at Su Mingxuan like an enraged lioness!

Seeing Jian Yunong’s eyes grow colder, Su Mingxuan reluctantly shut his mouth.

Beside them, Ye Xunhuan watched, unable to do anything beyond a bitter smile.

He hadn’t expected things to turn out like this, hadn’t expected Su Mingxuan to directly reveal everything to Mei Hanqing.

At this moment, looking at Mei Hanqing’s lost expression, he regretted bringing her along.

He regretted agreeing to Jian Yunong to take care of her son.

Seeing Su Mingxuan silent, Jian Yunong slowly turned her gaze to Mei Hanqing: "Han Qing, I’m sorry, don’t take Ming Xuan’s words to heart, he... he..."

Jian Yunong wanted to say Su Mingxuan was talking nonsense, but was Mei Hanqing foolish?

She wasn’t foolish; she was very smart.

If she said Su Mingxuan was talking nonsense, what would Mei Hanqing think?

Suddenly, Jian Yunong hesitated.

"It’s nothing!" Mei Hanqing took a deep breath and replied calmly: "Miss Jian, I’ve just remembered that I have something to do, so I’m afraid I have to leave first!"

With that, Mei Hanqing began to stand, ready to leave, ignoring Ye Xunhuan nearby.

For a brief moment of silence, Su Mingxuan couldn’t hold back and spoke again when he saw Mei Hanqing about to leave, "Sister, do you think by avoiding it you can solve the issue?"

"Do you think hiding now means you can hide forever?"

"Even I, under twenty, know that problems are meant to be solved, not avoided. Don’t you know that?"

"Sister, she was timid, afraid to tell you. Don’t you want to ask why they abandoned you back then? Don’t you want to know what happened?"

Su Mingxuan’s voice was hoarse: "Sister, do you know how much I envy seeing many friends around me with brothers and sisters!"

"Every time they make a mistake, they have siblings to help them shoulder it, they show off to me. I always thought how nice it would be if I had a sister!"

"That way, if I didn’t have pocket money, my sister would definitely give me some; if I made a mistake, my sister would probably help shoulder part of the responsibility..."

Listening to Su Mingxuan, Ye Xunhuan felt like slapping this guy.

Damn, you want a sister just to shield you from trouble!

"If I had a sister, I wouldn’t be lonely; I’d have someone to share my thoughts with..."

Mei Hanqing’s delicate body trembled slightly, her exquisite face as pale as could be.

"Young Master Su, I think you might have mistaken the person; my surname is Mei, not Su!" Mei Hanqing took a deep breath and slowly spoke!

After she spoke, Mei Hanqing raised her foot again, ready to leave.

And at this moment, Jian Yunong couldn’t hold back and spoke: "Han Qing, Mom was wrong, please come home with Mom, okay?"
