Chapter 867: Her Little Star
Ling Sheng was extremely anxious, but she did not dare to knock on the door either. The room was soundproofed well , so she did not know what she was doing.
Initially, she could still hear her quarreling with someone and questioning them in a loud voice. Later, when she vaguely heard her crying, he got even more anxious.
Oh no.
It was all her fault. Why had she blurted it out in a moment of folly?
“Auntie Yu?” Ling Sheng knocked on the door.
Nangong Lengyu’s eyes were red and swollen as tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She covered her mouth, afraid that she would hear her voice. Her body was trembling violently.
Her Little Star was outside.
She was right at the door.
As long as she opened the door, she would see her.
However, how could she tell her? How could she explain that she had lost her?She lost her.
She had always been wondering what would happen if Little Star was still alive. However, at this moment, she did not even have the courage to open the door.
Ling Sheng paced around the door. After a while, she knocked again. “Auntie Yu! Auntie Yu, how are you? Let me explain.”
Had she fainted?!
The last time she had been hospitalized for gastric cramps, the doctor had said that she could not receive too much provocation
“Auntie Yu, if you don’t speak, I’m coming in.” Ling Sheng was really anxious and did not know what to do. There was no sound of activity at all. What if she really fainted?
Upon hearing her start pushing the door open, Nangong Lengyu tried her best to wipe her tears and the blood at the corner of her lips before standing up with great difficulty.
Ling Sheng took the spare key and opened the door.
When she pushed the door open and entered, she saw Nangong Lengyu’s tear-stained face. When the latter saw her, she even smiled.
“Auntie Yu.” Ling Sheng saw that she was fine. It was just that her face was so sickly pale that it seemed transparent. However, she was smiling while looking at her. It was a strange scene.
“Sheng Sheng,” Nangong Lengyu called out to her and looked at her seriously, as though she wanted to engrave her appearance in her heart.
“Auntie Yu, are you all right?” Ling Sheng was scared, but she did not know how to explain the situation either. She felt terrible, and her voice was somewhat hoarse. “I really didn’t lie to you on purpose. Sorry.”
However, just as she finished speaking, she was suddenly hugged tightly in Nangong Lengyu’s arms. She hugged her so tightly, with so much strength that she could not breathe.
“Auntie Yu.” Ling Sheng did not know what was wrong with her, but she felt her body tremble. Suddenly, Nangong Lengyu choked and cried aloud. She was so frightened that her expression changed instantly. “Auntie Yu, don’t cry! I… I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Don’t cry!”
“Sheng Sheng, I’m sorry.” Nangong Lengyu knew that she should not cry. She should not have cried toward her. However, she could not control her emotions. It seemed like only crying could relieve her current emotions.
How should she tell her that she was her daughter?
She had not even known that she was still alive in this world. She was the world’s most incompetent mother.
“Auntie Yu, don’t cry. It’s my fault. It’s all my fault. In the future… At most, I won’t see you anymore.” After saying that, Ling Sheng cried too. She felt terrible. As she cried, she blabbered incoherently, “I know you don’t want to see my father. I know you don’t want to see me. When you see me, you’ll think of him. I won’t… appear in front of you again.”
“You didn’t do anything wrong. It’s my fault. I’m an incompetent mother. I made you suffer so much and left you with no choice but to rely on him,” Nangong Lengyu’s voice was hoarse. She grabbed her shoulders and looked at her seriously. “Sheng Sheng, I promise you that it won’t happen again. Can you and Xiaoqi follow me in the future? I’ll definitely make it up to you.”
Ling Sheng, who had been weeping sadly, looked at her in confusion when she heard her words. “Auntie Yu, what are you talking about?”
What mother?
Why should she make it up to her?
Compensate her for what? Did she owe her?
Jun Shiyan and Xiaoqi had bought a lot of delicious food. They were all local snacks. Xiaoqi’s favorite food in the past was malt candy, lollipops, and dried fruits.
When they reached the living room, they heard someone crying. The both of them ran over in a panic and saw two women hugging each other and crying. Jun Shiyan rushed over nervously and worriedly. “Sheng Sheng, Sister Yu, what’s wrong?”
What had happened?
Everything was fine at home. There was no sign of anyone breaking in, but why was everyone crying?
Xiaoqi was also dumbfounded. He threw down his snacks and dashed over. Instead of speaking, he started crying, “Mommy, Grandma!”
Ling Sheng was crying like a fool, her tears flowing uncontrollably. Upon hearing Jun Shiyan’s voice, she looked up at him. She had yet to react. “Third Master, Auntie Yu said that I’m Little Star.”
She was Little Star?
How could she be Little Star?
Hadn’t Little Star died already? Didn’t she die at birth?
How did she become Little Star now?
Jun Shiyan’s eyes constricted suddenly. Upon seeing the young lady’s confused and silly look, his heart was filled with mixed emotions, and his eyes teared up.
Little Star.
She was Little Star.
Was that why he found her familiar the moment he had seen her?
Was that why he had fallen in love with her so quickly?
It turned out that everything had been predetermined.
Nangong Lengyu repeated her conclusion to Jun Shiyan. She was now very sure that Sheng Sheng was her daughter. However, some things could not be determined with words alone. She still needed a final confirmation, a scientific conclusion.
“Ah Yan, I’ve decided to do a DNA test first,” Nangong Lengyu wiped her tears and looked at him seriously. “I’m going to make a trip home first. Help me take good care of Sheng Sheng.”
There were some things she had to ask personally.
Why had they done that? Why had they deceived her? Why had they snatched her away from her?
Jun Shiyan did not know how to react. “Sister Yu, are you sure?”
Nangong Lengyu nodded. “I’m sure. I won’t let Sheng Sheng and Xiaoqi find Huo Ci again and suffer at his place. Help me process the DNA test first. Sheng Sheng and Xiaoqi will follow me in the future.”
No matter what method she used, she could not let Sheng Sheng and Xiaoqi suffer hardship with that irresponsible scumbag Huo Ci again.
In the past, she was helpless. She did not have a valid reason or right to interfere.
However, things were different now. She was Sheng Sheng’s mother, so she had to get custody of Sheng Sheng. She would not let her suffer at Huo Ci’s place again.
Jun Shiyan nodded. “Okay.”
After Nangong Lengyu finished speaking, she looked at Ling Sheng, who was still in a bit of a daze. She did not blame nor resent her. Instead, she was crying miserably. It seemed like she had yet to recover. She reached out to wipe the tears off her face and said gently, “Sheng Sheng, you and Xiaoqi will follow me in the future, all right? I won’t force you to change how you address me now. Don’t worry or feel pressured. Just treat me as Auntie Yu. We’ll be the same as before.”
