“Aunt, I’m not your daughter. I’m Su Bei, Wenyu’s friend,” Su Bei tried to explain.

However, Lin Xiruo’s eyes turned red again. She looked at Su Bei steadily and reached out to cup her face. “You are. You clearly are. I knew it, you’re my daughter. You didn’t die. Who said you died prematurely? No, they’re all spouting nonsense!”

Her fingers were gently placed on Su Bei’s face. Su Bei’s heart throbbed inexplicably. She gave up explaining and stared into Lin Xiruo’s eyes.

This was a pair of eyes that contained deep love and hope. They were suddenly filled with light as if her entire world had been lit up. She looked at Su Bei with such eyes, and Su Bei couldn’t refuse such a gaze.

Perhaps it was because she was a mother herself and understood deeply how important children were to mothers.

Just like back then, when she thought that Gun Gun was gone after he was born, there were many days and nights when she couldn’t get out of her misery. To outsiders, she was carefree and had a bright smile. But in a corner where no one could see her, she missed him so much.

At this moment, she felt that she could not reject Lin Xiruo.

Lin Xiruo keenly sensed the change in Su Bei’s emotions. She could clearly sense Su Bei’s resistance changing to acceptance. She hugged Su Bei and cried, “Right? You know that you’re my daughter, right? I knew it. We’re mother and daughter. You must be able to recognize me too, right? You’re my daughter, right?”

“Alright,” Su Bei replied softly. She really couldn’t hurt a mother in despair.

“I knew it. I knew it. I knew that my daughter was still alive and would come back to find me.” Lin Xiruo laughed and cried. “Wenyu, go find your cousin. Hurry up.”

Lin Wenyu didn’t know what to do. She looked at Lin Xiruo, then at Su Bei. She hesitated for a moment before turning around and running out.

He Xuyan was chatting with Old Madam Lin. The two of them had not seen each other for a long time and had endless topics to talk about.

Lin Wenyu rushed in.

Old Madam Lin rebuked affectionately, “Why are you so reckless? What happened?”

“I…” Lin Wenyu glanced at her father, who was sitting at the side. She didn’t dare to say that she had brought Su Bei to see Lin Xiruo. Hence, she could only say, “I have something to say to Cousin.”

She whispered something in He Xuyan’s ear.

Old Madam Lin couldn’t help but laugh. “How old are you? You’re still the same as when you were young. As soon as Cousin comes back, you’re pestering him to play with you. Don’t you have any shame?”

He Xuyan stood up and said, “Grandma, Wenyu and I have something on. We’ll go over first. I’ll come back to see you later.”

“Go, go,” Old Madam Lin said lovingly. “Don’t run around. Remember to come home for dinner later.”

“Got it.” He Xuyan and Lin Wenyu walked out quickly. “How did this happen?”

“I’m sorry. I just took Su Bei to see Aunt. I didn’t expect Aunt to suddenly have a relapse. She was fine before, and her mental state was very stable. I think Su Bei was also frightened.”

He Xuyan quickened his pace toward the courtyard where his mother lived.

When he arrived, Lin Xiruo was still hugging Su Bei and refusing to let go.

“Mom!” He Xuyan had a headache. He owed Su Bei a huge favor the last time, and this time, Su Bei had suffered again. He really didn’t know how to make up for it.

Hearing that her son was here, Lin Xiruo’s eyes lit up. “Son, look, this is your sister. Your sister is back. I told you that your sister didn’t die prematurely, right? The hospital is full of lies! Come quickly!”

He Xuyan apologized to Su Bei with his eyes.

When Su Bei received his apology, she gave him a nonchalant expression. She did not take it to heart.

She moved aside, but Lin Xiruo immediately came forward and grabbed her wrist.

Su Bei couldn’t avoid it. She smiled awkwardly.

“Mom, it’s windy out and a little chilly. Let’s go inside and talk, okay?”

“No! Your sister will go in with us together.” Lin Xiruo insisted.

Su Bei said, “I’ll go in with you.”

He Xuyan looked at her gratefully. Lin Wenyu was also very grateful and said, “Then let’s go in first.”

Lin Xiruo held Su Bei’s hand. “Daughter, look. I planted the flowers over there for you. They’re already blooming. Aren’t they beautiful? Come in quickly. Your brother isn’t very gentle. He always has a cold face, so just ignore him.”

He Xuyan touched the tip of his nose, embarrassment flashing in his dark eyes.

“Mom, can you let go of Su Bei first?” He Xuyan said. “She’ll be in pain if you do that.”

“Okay, okay.” Lin Xiruo let go of Su Bei’s wrist.

“Also, let’s sit over there first.” He Xuyan supported her. Lin Wenyu hurriedly held Su Bei’s hand, planning to escape.

Unexpectedly, just as she turned around, Lin Xiruo turned around and pulled Su Bei. “Daughter…”

She grabbed at empty air, and her expression changed. “Daughter, where are you going? Xuyan, stop your sister! Don’t let anyone take her! You can’t let anyone take her away!”

Lin Wenyu and Su Bei had just turned around when they couldn’t take another step forward.

“Mom…” Helplessness flashed in He Xuyan’s eyes.

“Don’t you believe me? Do you just think that I must have gotten it wrong?” Lin Xiruo had always been magnanimous and reasonable, but now, she was anxious and angry. “You think I’m sick again and made a mistake! But no! I can tell you clearly now that I didn’t make a mistake! If you don’t believe me, go do a DNA test on my daughter!”

Hearing that, He Xuyan, Lin Wenyu, and Su Bei’s expressions froze as they recalled the DNA test for the panda hat.

She even insisted on doing a DNA test for a panda hat. Who would believe her?

“I believe you, Mom,” He Xuyan said gently with extreme patience.

“If you believe me, go and investigate again. This is definitely your sister and my daughter. You’ll know with a DNA test that I’m not lying!” Lin Xiruo’s attitude was firm!

He Xuyan whispered, “Yes, I didn’t say that you were lying. I believe you.”

“You obviously don’t believe me. You only investigate when I urge you.” Lin Xiruo went forward and grabbed Su Bei’s hand. “My daughter, be good. Don’t be afraid of the pain, okay? Let your brother draw some blood for you so that he can investigate. It won’t hurt, and he’ll believe me after he investigates. There are always some people who want to separate us, but I won’t let that happen. I won’t separate from you. Wenyu, don’t you have a medical kit? Go get it. My daughter and I will go do the test.”
