Qin Sheng relied on the address mentioned in the news and drove all the way to the mountain next to the resort.
She wasn't unfamiliar with this place. In order to choose the scene to shoot, she and An An came to the mountain to find the best spot with the best scenery. When they were standing on the top of a mountain they had seen the villa hidden halfway up it.
At that time, she observed that the villa's style was very exquisite. She even suggested to An An that they should use the villa in the shoot. She could ask Le Le to find the owner of the villa to ask their permission.
Who knew that before she could send Le Le, Gong Mochen would venture there first...
The car drove all the way to the mountainside. There was only the mountain road ahead.
Qin Sheng got out of the car and walked on the mountain road. She thought of the location she saw on the mountaintop that day and walked quickly.
If Gong Mochen hadn't come out yet, then it meant that he was still in the villa.
However, her memory wasn't great. Coupled with her road blindness, she quickly lost her way in the mountains.
She took out her phone and thought about who she should call. She couldn't exactly call Gong Mochen, so could she tell Chu Xia to send people to look for her?
Just as she was hesitating, a figure flashed through the forest.
The person moved very fast. She'd barely got a glimpse of them, but she could recognize that it was Gong Mochen!
She hurriedly chased after the man, but he had disappeared.
She followed the mountain road until she reached a fork in the road. She frowned. Which road did Gong Mochen take?
She looked at the two roads and was pleasantly surprised to find that at the end of one road, she could see the figure of the man.
She chased after him, however the man was too fast for her. She couldn't catch up with him, and soon, she lost him again.
Regardless of losing Gong Mochen, she finally found the villa she was looking for along the mountain road.
Although the exquisite villa wasn't that large, it still exuded a luxurious style. Ancient plum trees dotted its grounds, lining the path that led to the door. She could see that the plum blossoms were about to bloom.
There was also a faint sandalwood fragrance in the air.
Her hands were clasped on the iron door, getting ready to open it.
The door suddenly opened, and a girl dressed in servant clothes stood in front of Qin Sheng.
"I'm a friend of Gong Mochen. I'm here to see him. Can you go in and tell him I'm here?" Qin Sheng asked.
She had to figure out who the owner of the villa was. She decided there was no need to make things difficult for the servant. She wouldn't just barge in.
The servant waved her hand and pointed at her own mouth. She only smiled and indicated that Qin Sheng could go in.
Qin Sheng looked at the mute girl and was a little surprised. She was allowed to enter so easily...
She followed the servant through the main door. There were plum trees in the courtyard, as well as all kinds of flowers and trees. Unfortunately, it wasn't the season for flowers and trees to bloom. However, she could still imagine the scene of flowers and trees blooming in summer.
As she walked into the villa, the scent of sandalwood became even stronger. She turned into the main living room, which no longer had the smell of sandalwood. The scent of sandalwood was replaced by the fragrance of flowers, a floral scent. The living room was like a large greenhouse with all kinds of flowers blooming.
In a patch of lilies stood a woman. Her back was facing Qin Sheng and she was watering the flowers.
The woman's figure was neither fat nor thin. She wore a slim light yellow qipao. Her hair was tied up at the back of her head, and there was a jade green hairpin in it.
The maid walked to the woman and bowed respectfully before leaving the living room.
Qin Sheng walked over and beheld the woman who had turned around. The woman wasn't young, but she had taken good care of her appearance. She looked at the woman's face in puzzlement. Not only was she very beautiful, but she also felt that her face was very familiar. Then it suddenly came to her... She felt like she was looking at Gong Mochen!
The woman looked at Qin Sheng. "Who is this guest?"
"I am... am Gong Mochen's friend," Qin Sheng stammered, her mind in a mess.
How could she be so similar to Gong Mochen? Qin Sheng was so puzzled.
She knew that Gong Mochen was an orphan, an orphan adopted by Qin Ze...
The woman's lips curved up. "Are you Mochen's girlfriend?"
Qin Sheng nodded. "Yes. Who are you to Mochen?"
"I am..."
Before the woman could say anything, a car roared into the courtyard.
From her position in the living room, Qin Sheng could see the situation in the courtyard and the man running out of the car.
How did he drive in? Where did he come from?
She saw him walking only a moment ago... Could it be that he went somewhere and drove back?
Gong Mochen rushed into the room and said, "Qin Sheng, why are you here?"
He frowned, his tone as cold as it usually was, if not a little colder. He ran over and grabbed Qin Sheng's arm.
"Mochen, why are you being so loud? You'll scare the lady," the woman reprimanded Gong Mochen and turned to Qin Sheng. "So, you are Qin Sheng..."
"I am Qin Sheng. Do you know me?" Qin Sheng asked. She grasped the man's hand as her arm was hurting from his grip.
"Of course I know you. I watch the news a lot, and I've heard Mochen talk about you before." The woman smiled gently.
Qin Sheng looked up at Gong Mochen. "Who is she?"
Gong Mochen's face was stern, and his whole body seemed to be emitting a cold aura. His eyes were filled with all kinds of emotions that no one could understand. "I'll take her home."
He'd skipped over Qin Sheng's question and pulled her to leave.
"Mochen, do you still want to hide my identity from Qin Sheng?" the woman said.
Gong Mochen's brows furrowed, and he turned to look at the woman. "I'm going to take her home."
It wasn't a discussion, but more like an order.
The woman pursed her lips. She was surprised by Gong Mochen's tone and couldn't say a word.
Qin Sheng stopped in her tracks. "Why can't I know who she is? Since I'm your girlfriend, why can't I know?"
Instinctively, she had already guessed who this woman was, but she wanted Gong Mochen to tell her personally.
Gong Mochen's eyes narrowed on the little woman in front of him. The corners of his lips twitched before he said, "Do you really want to know who she is?"
"Yes, I want you to tell me!" Qin Sheng said.
Gong Mochen's thin lips opened slightly. "She is my mother."
"I am his mother, Han Qing. I have been living in the mountains for many years, so that's why you have never seen me." Han Qing said as she walked towards Qin Sheng. She raised her hand and grabbed Qin Sheng's other hand. "Did I scare you? A mother-in-law suddenly appeared..."
"No, no. I always thought he was an orphan," Qin Sheng said nervously. As expected, she knew too little about Gong Mochen. She didn't even know that he had a mother.
"I only found him a few years ago. However, he is the adopted son of the Qin family and is already well-known by everyone. I didn't want to cause trouble for him, so I have been living in seclusion here.
"What a good daughter-in-law you are. Mochen, I don't want to live in seclusion anymore. Today, I will go back to your villa with you. Qin Sheng, do you think I should live with you?" Han Qing said.
A cold light flashed in her eyes. She had been here for too long. It was time for her to go out and reveal her identity!
