Someone answered the door almost immediately after Wen Shan knocked on it .
Ding Junhui avoided looking at Nalan Chunbo who stood behind Wen Shan, seeming intimidated by the sight of him .
It took a while for Ding Junhui to invite the two visitors in .
Wen Shan thanked Ding Junhui and entered his house with Nalan Chunbo .
Ding Junhui switched off his TV . He had actually been watching the TV before the visitors dropped by .
“Please take a seat,” Ding Junhui said as he went to the kitchen to get two glasses of water for them . “I’ve run out of tea leaves, so I can only serve you plain water . ”
“I’ll save you the trouble,” Wen Shan quickly said, “Teacher Ding, we want to ask you something . ”
Ding Junhui placed the glasses of water on the table in front of Wen Shan and Nalan Chunbo before sitting on the other sofa . “What is it?”
Wen Shan turned to look at Nalan Chunbo, who nodded encouragingly . Wen Shan took a deep breath before turning to look at Ding Junhui again . “Teacher Ding, may I know if you’ve met the mother of Mr . Ding’s son before?”
Ding Junhui hesitated . He seemed taken aback by Wen Shan’s random question . At last, he shook his head and said, “No, I don’t know her . ”
“Are you sure you’ve never met her before?” Wen Shan’s anxiousness could spur suspicion in others .
“I’ve only heard about her . My elder brother said that Yuejia’s mother passed away when Yuejia was one . After that, my brother took Yuejia with him,” Ding Junhui explained . “Why the sudden question?”
“Do you have photos of Yuejia when he was little?” Wen Shan asked instead .
Ding Junhui tried to recall, then told Wen Shan to wait for him as he went to take his cell phone .
He had many photos of Ding Yuejia when he was little . He looked like a doll, with big eyes and fair skin .
Wen Shan hastily grabbed Ding Junhui’s phone . Her heart clenched at the familiar sight, and she eventually lifted her head to look at Ding Junhui .
The little boy really looked so much like her when she was little .
Seeing Wen Shan on the verge of tearing up, Nalan Chunbo stroked Wen Shan’s head to comfort her .
Nalan Chunbo then turned to face Ding Junhui . “Teacher Ding, can I presume that your brother knows who Yuejia’s mother is?”
Ding Junhui’s curiosity grew but he replied honestly, “Perhaps he does, because whenever Yuejia’s mother is mentioned, he goes into a bad mood . ”
“Perhaps?” Nalan Chunbo wanted to make sure .
“Yes . Frankly speaking, we aren’t too sure about it either . Sometimes I really believe that my brother is unsure himself . He always referred to that woman as a money-lover but he seemed uncertain about it . ”
“A money-lover?” As soon as she heard those words, Wen Shan felt relieved . That description did not fit her at all .
Wen Shan’s reaction made Nalan Chunbo chuckle . Wen Shan was not a money-lover at all because she did not even feel that she had lost something when she spent so much on chasing Nalan Chunbo .
Therefore, it was clear that Yuejia’s mother had nothing to do with Wen Shan .
But how did one connect the dots about Yuejia and Wen Shan’s resemblance?
“My elder brother told me that . I’ve also asked him about Yuejia’s mother but he said that he had already forgotten about it except for the fact that the woman loved money . ”
“Perhaps my brother and the woman were involved in a car accident in which the woman passed away but my brother and Yuejia survived . However, my brother doesn’t remember who she was,” Ding Junhui said confidently .
That statement confused Wen Shan and Nalan Chunbo even more .
The photos became a mystery to them .
