"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."
Tang Yuyue bumped into someone and quickly apologized.
"I didn't do it on purpose. These shoes are limited edition. You've dirtied them…" Tang Lingwei raised her voice, wanting to curse.
However, when her gaze landed on Tang Yuyue's face, her mouth fell open, and her words were stuck in her throat.
A ghost!
Had she seen a ghost?
Was this Tang Yuyue?
Wasn't she dead?
"Tang Yuyue, you're not dead!"
Tang Lingwei's voice changed as she glared at Tang Yuyue in fear.
Tang Yuyue also recognized the person and pursed her red lips.
"Of course I'm still alive. Who told you I was dead?"
She had met an old friend!
Tang Lingwei was her adoptive father's daughter. They had lived together for ten years. The relationship between the two of them was neutral, and there was no sisterly love between them.
"Didn't you die giving birth back then? I…"
Tang Lingwei's face was pale as she glared at Tang Yuyue, unable to continue.
"Really? I didn't inform you when I gave birth. How did you know that I died after giving birth?"
Tang Yuyue's gaze was fixed. When she saw Tang Lingwei's change in expression, she took a step closer. "Tang Lingwei, could it be that you were the ones who wanted my life back then?"
All these years, she had been thinking about this when she was free.
Back then, she was only 18 years old and was still an innocent girl. She was an amiable person and never easily made enemies. The only person who was hostile to her was Tang Lingwei.
She still remembered that Tang Lingwei had once coveted her fiancé, Gu Yichen.
That night on her eighteenth birthday, she had received a message from Gu Yichen. She had guessed that it was sent to her by Tang Lingwei.
As long as she wasn't chaste anymore, Gu Yichen would break up with her.
However, later on, Tang Lingwei didn't get together with Gu Yichen, so she overturned this theory.
But now, Tang Lingwei looked at her as though she had seen a ghost, making her suspicious.
"Tang Yuyue, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Tang Lingwei raised her voice as though she had been bitten by a dog. "After all, you were raised by Dad. Even if we're not related by blood, Dad will still miss you. So, of course, he will know that you gave birth."
"Then what happened after that? You didn't see my corpse, so how did you confirm that I was dead?"
Tang Yuyue stared at Tang Lingwei without blinking, pressing forward step by step.
"It was all because of a notice from the hospital that you died in childbirth. Dad couldn't bear to see you in such a miserable state, so he asked the hospital to cremate you."
Tang Lingwei gripped her handbag tightly, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
That wretched girl. It was really her!
She wasn't dead!
That doctor had lied to her back then!
Tang Lingwei felt extremely guilty. She tidied her hair behind her ear. "Since you're not dead, come back for a meal when you're free. I still have something on, so I'll get going first!"
Something big was about to happen!
What should she do now?
Tang Lingwei turned around and left hurriedly.
"Mommy, who's that fierce auntie? Did she bully you?"
Su Zichu, who was playing in the amusement park, ran over with his short legs and looked at Tang Yuyue nervously.
Tang Yuyue came back to her senses and bent down to rub his little head.
"Mommy's fine."
Not wanting her son to worry about her, Tang Yuyue immediately changed the topic. "Wow, Tang Bao, why are your clothes all wet? You'll catch a cold. Why don't you change into the new clothes I just bought?"
"Uh, alright."
Su Zichu looked down at his dirty T-shirt and scratched his head.
That auntie must have bullied Mommy just now.
The next time he saw her, he would definitely avenge his mother!
In the restaurant upstairs.
This was a well-decorated revolving restaurant.
From the window, one could clearly see the entire mall.
Tang Lingwei absent-mindedly walked to her table and sat down.
Opposite her sat Huo Jingyun and his son.
"Where's Chenchen's Lego? You didn't bring it?"
Huo Jingyun looked at Tang Lingwei, who didn't look too good, and frowned.
"Huh? I'm sorry, I forgot. I'll go and get it now."
Tang Lingwei was stunned. Only then did she remember that she had just gone to get Huo Chenyu some toys.
However, when she suddenly met Tang Yuyue, who had "come back to life", she was so shocked that she forgot about it.
"There's no need. Let's eat first."
Huo Jingyun's expression was indifferent. He covered the little fellow with a bib and handed him the cut steak.
Huo Chenyu remained silent. He picked up his knife and fork and ate his steak, quietly and gentlemanly.
The father and son had similar expressions, and they were especially eye-catching under the lights.
Tang Lingwei, who was opposite them, looked at the father and son, who looked alike, with a sparkling gaze.
"Jing Yun, Chenchen is already so old. Don't you think we should give him a complete family?"
That wretched girl, Tang Yuyue, was back!
She had to work harder and become the mistress of the Huo family as soon as possible!
Thud!
It was the sound of a knife and fork falling to the ground.
Tang Lingwei looked up and saw that Huo Chenyu had pursed his lips tightly, his jawline tense.
Was this little thing silently protesting?
"Chenchen, are you too excited to hear Mommy's words? I know that you've always hoped that Daddy and Mommy would take care of you together, right?"
Tang Lingwei pretended to be gentle as she looked at the little fellow with a warning glint in her eyes.
Huo Chenyu felt his butt tighten, as though he could feel the pain of the woman's fingers pinching his butt hard.
That's not true!
He didn't hope that she would take care of him with his father!
He didn't want it!
Huo Chenyu shifted his gaze to the side.
Unintentionally, he saw a pair of familiar figures at the escalator downstairs.
It was Auntie Sue and her son!
Huo Chenyu's eyes lit up. He quickly slid off the chair and ran forward on his short legs.
"Hey, Chenchen, where are you going?"
Tang Lingwei was stunned. She looked at the little fellow's departing figure and was furious.
Did the little thing actually answer her question by running away?
She would deal with him later!
At this moment, Huo Jingyun was picking up his son's fallen knife and fork.
When he sat up straight, the little guy was already gone. Instantly, his handsome face darkened.
"You ran away without a word again! Ha!"
The little fellow's temper was rising!
How dare he sneak away without a word?
Who did this explosive temper resemble?
"President Huo, Little Young Master…"
The bodyguard at the side was tense as he sought Huo Jingyun's opinion.
"Hurry up and chase after him!"
"…"
Downstairs.
Tang Yuyue took the elevator to the first floor with her son.
At this moment, her phone rang.
Tang Yuyue took out her phone from her bag and glanced at it. When she saw that it was a call from Ryan personally, she immediately pursed her red lips.
Since she went on strike today, the Huo Corporation would definitely complain. She would see what Ryan would say.
"Tang Bao, wait for Mommy. Mommy has to take this call first."
"Alright."
Su Zichu played with the bottle in his hand and stood obediently in the corner.
A moment later, a pair of white sneakers appeared in front of him.
Su Zichu blinked and looked up at the person.
Big black eyes, small red lips, and fair skin.
Even his clothes were the same. He was also wearing a white T-shirt and black pants.
Ugh!
Was he looking at himself in the mirror?
