My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 828 - 497: The New Era

"You said Haitang was so smart as a child, what did she like to do?" Meng Lang asked again.

If there is one person in this world who knows the other "Lin Haitang" the most, has accompanied her the longest, and is the closest to her, it would undoubtedly be Mrs. Lin standing before him.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin smiled immediately.

"Reading, she loved reading ever since she learned how to read. There was a library nearby at the time, and she could stay there all day long.

She didn’t like playing with peers. Whenever she had free time, she would carry her little water bottle and toddle off to the library to read. Even adults seldom have such concentration.

But honestly, that girl learned everything quickly and had great popularity. She made quite a few friends at the library.

Even with some old ladies with Alzheimer’s, she could sit and chat for ages..."

"Hmm?"

Initially, Meng Lang didn’t find anything unusual, as it was common knowledge to those with an autobiography.

However, when Mrs. Lin mentioned the "old ladies with Alzheimer’s," he was taken aback.

For some reason, he inexplicably thought of himself...

From the symptoms of the disease, the main early symptom of Alzheimer’s is memory impairment...

An unknown method to erase one’s memory... Alzheimer’s...

Is there some special connection between the two?

Seeing that Meng Lang seemed interested in Lin Haitang’s childhood, Mrs. Lin waved her hand and said with a smile, "Come along, Xiao Meng, follow me."

Meng Lang, puzzled, followed Mrs. Lin into a small room.

The overall style of the room was pink and very cozy, with children’s books on the shelves, and some rather old-looking rag dolls and toys by the bedside, seemingly a little girl’s bedroom.

"Auntie, could this be..."

"That’s right. This was Haitang’s room when she was little," Mrs. Lin said with a touch of nostalgia in her eyes.

"After her father and I divorced, this old house was left to me.

Later, Haitang would occasionally come back to see me, so this room’s been preserved. It holds fond memories for me."

Meng Lang cast a heavy-eyed glance around the room.

To ordinary people, this might just be an ordinary child’s bedroom, but in Meng Lang’s eyes, this might hold clues of another "Lin Haitang" who once existed...

Mrs. Lin searched the bookshelf and quickly pulled out a rather worn booklet...

...

"This one is from when she just turned 2."

"Pfft! Couldn’t tell, she was so chubby."

"Yeah, she really transformed from a chubby girl. And this one, from her first day of kindergarten..."

"That outfit is too cute, haha..."

...

When Lin Haitang finished cooking, took off her apron, and returned to the living room, she saw the two of them laughing over a somewhat yellowed album.

The familiar scene immediately made Lin Haitang realize what had happened, and she quickly stepped forward, somewhat embarrassed, to snatch the album away.

"Mom, why did you bring this out?"

"What’s wrong with that? Xiao Meng isn’t an outsider."

"Exactly, besides, didn’t you look at mine too? Lawyer Lin, you’re being too double-standard," Meng Lang teased.

"What double standards! This is personal privacy!"

With a slightly panicked look, Lin Haitang held the album and dashed into her bedroom, slamming the door shut with a "bang."

"Haha, this girl, getting shy now," Mrs. Lin couldn’t help but laugh.

Meng Lang smiled but said nothing, allowing Lin Haitang to notice the "mission item." Today’s main purpose was considered accomplished.

As for that "old photo," Meng Lang had actually seen it earlier, including those two words on the back...

Unfortunately, aside from that photo, and some heart-melting cuteness, Meng Lang didn’t find any suspicious clues in the album.

He looked down at some just-snapped "precious" photos on his phone.

Some were images of Lin Haitang at six or seven years old.

You couldn’t say she bore a great resemblance to the current Xiao Yu; you’d have to say it was almost identical...

"She really does look alike..."

His muttered words were unexpectedly overheard by Mrs. Lin beside him.

"You mean Xiao Yu? Indeed, they look alike. Sometimes I’m even surprised, clearly of different mothers, but somehow, they look so similar. It’s quite incredible.

Perhaps these two girls are truly destined to be connected..."

Meng Lang paused, frowning slightly.

Of different mothers, same father... of different mothers, same father...

Yes! Xiao Yu and Lin Haitang are of different mothers, same father!

Suddenly, he realized a question he’d instinctively ignored before.

Which is... why do the two sisters resemble each other so much!

In "Distant Saviors," Meng Lang had seen the "adult version" of Xiao Yu.

At first glance, he almost mistook her for Lin Haitang, showing just how similar their appearances were.

Now, even their childhood appearances seem almost identical, as if carved from the same mold...

Siblings of different mothers, yet resembling each other so closely, can hardly be said to be impossible, but it’s certainly rare...

Could it be the father’s genes are just too dominant?

"Xiao Meng, what are you daydreaming about? Come eat before the dishes get cold."

"Oh! Okay, Auntie!"

...

Meanwhile, Lin Haitang leaned against the door, slightly relieved to have reclaimed her "privacy."

Looking at the old album in her hands, she pondered something, her expression somewhat complex.

After a moment of hesitation, she slowly opened the album...
