That day, Leng Rongrong spent quite some time in the house. She saw a few pictures of her mother. She seemed to resemble her mother's younger self.
Her mother had an elegant air. In many pictures, she was wearing cheongsams, looking noble and beautiful. She was clearly a woman with a high status.
Some special pictures showed her mother pinching a cigarette between fingers, sitting in front of the computer or walking with some bodyguards behind her.
She could not have been an ordinary figure.
After spending some time here, Leng Rongrong simply could not believe that a woman like her could have married someone like Leng Guantang?
How did she ever fall for the guy? Leng Rongrong fully intended to know the details of her mother's past.
Her grandmother had told her a few things about her mother, but it was not enough for her to get a full picture. All she knew was that her mother was an excellent person, and her accomplishments had exceeded those of many men.
She was intimidating and powerful. Born in a village, she had created a world for herself! She had been a big shot both in the front and underground fields.
Leng Rongrong could also tell from the pictures that her mother knew numerous people with high status.
She even saw some royal family members of C Land with her mother in a few photos.
Apparently, her mother had not been an ordinary person.
It made her increasingly curious about how her mother passed away.
Seated in the wheelchair, Mo Linyuan did not follow Leng Rongrong when she went upstairs. Beautiful Li went up with her, whilst Tang Luo was keeping Mo Linyuan company down below.
There were some pictures of Leng Rongrong's mother hung on the wall.
Mo Linyuan was startled at the sight of those pictures.
He had not done any investigation about Leng Rongrong's mother, since she had been long gone.
But at this moment, he was taken aback.
The woman in the picture and Leng Rongrong looked very much alike.
"Bai Wanrong!" After a few seconds, Mo Linyuan suddenly spilled out the name in astonishment.
"Her mother is Bai Wanrong!"
"Bai Wanrong… can she be that dominator who used to be so powerful that even the head of the gangsters feared her when she was merely 15 years old? Then the three big shots had a huge fight with each other just for her sake?"
Tang Luo gasped. "Oh god, Madam is Lady Bai's daughter?"
"Lady Bai was a woman with a very high status. But she went missing one day. Did she really pass away?"
"Rumors claim that Lady Bai is still alive!"
Instead of saying anything more, Mo Linyuan showed an unfathomable look.
He had not expected that this woman whom he accidentally married, was Bai Wanrong's daughter. She was one of the few people he admired greatly.
"Master, is Lady Bai still alive?" Tang Luo asked.
"Not sure." Mo Linyuan said calmly.
There were many versions floating around. Noone really knew the truth.
Soon, Leng Rongrong came downstairs. She decided to get some people to clean this place up the next day. She wanted to spend a night here, every now and then.
As they reached the gate, Leng Rongrong took a look back at the house. She was unwilling to leave the house.
How she wished that her mother was still alive!
She had her master and godfathers who adored her, but they were not her mother. As for her father… she wished that she didn't have one.
"Your mother is Bai Wanrong?" Mo Linyuan turned to Leng Rongrong.
Leng Rongrong nodded and then turned to Mo Linyuan in surprise. She had not told him about her mother. So, how did he get to know about it?
"You knew my mother?"
"Just heard of her name." Mo Linyuan said calmly.
"You have heard of my mother?" Leng Rongrong looked at Mo Linyuan expectantly. She grabbed hold of Mo Linyuan's shoulders, wanting to know more. "Can you tell me anything about her?"
Her grandmother did not know much about her. She was just an elderly woman living in the countryside.
Her mother had spent quite a long time here in the city, so there must be numerous legendary stories about her here.
"I know something about your mother." Mo Linyuan said, "I know that she was an amazing person."
A brave and intelligent woman, to be more exact.
She was much more capable than many men altogether.
Intimidating, powerful, resolute… her actions were sharper and harsher than those of the men of her time. She used to have quite a reputation. Anyone who heard her name would shiver in fear.
But she was also a kind-hearted person.
She believed in Buddhism, and had given many people a helping hand. She made many friends all over the world.
Many big shots and people with high status in today's upper class society had received favor from Bai Wanrong.
"What do you know about my mother?" Leng Rongrong's eyes brightened. She stared excitedly into his eyes and begged him for more stories about her mother.
"Please tell me about it. I never got to know her."
Leng Rongrong felt a bit disappointed whenever she thought of her mother.
She had no memory of her.
She had seen her mother's pictures, and her image was imprinted in her head. But she had no impression of her at all.
She believed that she was not going to see her mother in this life and badly envied those children who had a mother.
They could cry at the mother's shoulders when they felt bad, or even asked for their love.
"I remember one interesting thing told to me." Mo Linyuan started to recount Bai Wanrong's story in a gentle tone which he had never used before.
It was said that one autumn day, a man was chasing after Bai Wanrong but she kept turning him down. Unfortunately, that man was like a sticky glue and wouldn't give up.
Bai Wanrong decided to hold a car race with him, saying that if he won, she would think about becoming his girlfriend.
"And then?" Leng Rongrong looked expectant.
"Your mother won. She beat him so terribly that the man never drove a car in the future. Then that man became your mother's subordinate and never dared to dream about your mother again."
