Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 286 Late Night Visitor (Happy New Year)

Xiaofeng set off on the road back to the city.

Chunhua didn’t understand what had happened, "Xiaofeng, from what you’re saying, it seems someone wants to give you trouble, but they are also afraid you won’t be easy to deal with, so they took your older brother away."

"I can’t be sure who is behind this right now; once I get back to the city, I’ll know," Xiaofeng checked the time, and it was already past eleven, almost midnight.

She got back to the city at around one.

...

The courtyard was knocked on, and Mei Sanying, hearing the noise, thought it was Xiaofeng returning. She turned on the light, walked outside, and opened the courtyard door, only to see a middle-aged woman standing outside the courtyard gate.

The middle-aged woman’s head was wrapped in a scarf, revealing only her eyes.

Mei Sanying looked at the visitor, her nearly all fallen out eyebrows squeezed together, "Who are you?"

Knocking on someone’s door in the middle of the night and wrapping oneself up like this could mean she was up to no good.

"Auntie," Luo Yuzhu hadn’t expected to find an old lady living in this courtyard. Judging by her age, she seemed quite old, "I am Xiaofeng’s mom; is Xiaofeng here?"

Mei Sanying eyed the visitor suspiciously, "You are Xiaofeng’s mom? How come I’ve never heard about you?"

Xiaofeng had never mentioned to her that she had a mother. Mei Sanying wasn’t born yesterday; she had lived half a century and wasn’t without wits.

Xiaofeng hadn’t mentioned her because there was only one reason: Xiaofeng had no feelings for this person who claimed to be her mother, or she didn’t wish to associate with her.

"How could that be, I am her mother; how could she not mention me." Luo Yuzhu tried to barge in, "Where is she? Get her out here, I have something to discuss with her."

"Xiaofeng no longer lives here, she has moved out," Mei Sanying saw that the woman had come in and didn’t stop her but closed the courtyard door instead.

"You old woman, don’t try to fool me; she lives right here." Of course, Luo Yuzhu couldn’t believe that Xiaofeng had moved away, "Did she go back to the countryside?"

If she wasn’t here now, she most likely went back to the countryside.

Mei Sanying didn’t respond, merely yawned, "Miss, if you want to wait for her to return, then wait here. I’m going back to my room to sleep. I’m old and can’t stay up all night."

Luo Yuzhu, observing her careless demeanor, unwrapped her scarf, "Who are you exactly? How come you’re here?"

"If you can be here, why can’t I?" While Mei Sanying had said she was going to sleep, she went back into the room to get a coat to wrap around herself.

With an uninvited guest in the house, she couldn’t just let the person stay unwatched in case she was up to mischief.

"You are quite cautious, aren’t you?" Luo Yuzhu laughed, "Don’t worry, I’m not a bad person. Although I’m not Xiaofeng’s birth mother, she has called me ’Mom’ for eighteen years. At least for the past eighteen years, I was her mother."

"That was in the past," Mei Sanying paused, "So, Xiaofeng doesn’t acknowledge you now? No wonder I never heard Xiaofeng mention you. So, Xiaofeng has disowned you. If Xiaofeng has disowned you already, and you come looking for Xiaofeng in the middle of the night, wrapped up to the point of looking unrecognizable, I suspect you’re not here for anything good."

If it were really her birth mother, would she need to disguise herself like this to see her own daughter?

"Auntie," Luo Yuzhu put away the scarf and lightly smiled, "It looks to me like you’re just an outsider. You don’t need to ask about matters between Xiaofeng and me. You said you were going to sleep; go ahead, I’ll wait for her here."

"We’ve got a visitor in the house; how could I possibly go to sleep?" Mei Sanying sat opposite Luo Yuzhu, glancing at her features and said calmly, "Judging by your looks, you seem to have had a good life."

"It’s all right," Luo Yuzhu adjusted her bangs, "Not the best, but better than many."

The courtyard gate was knocked on again, and Mei Sanying got up, sensing that it must be Xiaofeng returning.

When she opened the gate, sure enough, Xiaofeng had come back with a group of people.

"Xiaofeng, it seems like you have guests at home." Chunhua originally wanted to leave, but hesitated whether to go in upon seeing that Xiaofeng had guests over.

Xiaofeng had expected someone to come looking for her, but she did not expect that person to be Luo Yuzhu. freёnovelkiss.com

"The person who is supposed to come will come sooner or later." Although the arrival of Luo Yuzhu was unexpected for Xiaofeng, it wasn’t entirely surprising, "You guys go back first."

"Okay, call us if you need anything." Their place was not very far from Xiaofeng’s, just a few minutes away.

Xiaofeng closed the yard gate and walked towards the living room.

Luo Yuzhu watched her approach, scoffed coldly, but kept quiet.

Xiaofeng pulled out a chair to sit down, "Ms. Luo, what brings you to my place in the middle of the night? People say only urgent matters bring one to the temple of the Three Treasures. Do you have an urgent matter?"

Ms. Luo felt very uncomfortable upon hearing the three words ’Ms. Luo’ from Xiaofeng’s mouth. This girl used to call her mom so affectionately, which was far from the estrangement she now conveyed, worse than a stranger.

She pulled out a passbook from her pocket, trying her best to show a loving expression, "Xiaofeng, I know mom’s actions before have hurt your heart. But you’ve called me mom for eighteen years, how could I possibly have no feelings for you. You’re pregnant now, it’s inconvenient to work, inconvenient to live, and you definitely need more money."

As Luo Yuzhu said this, tears squeezed out of her eyes, "You know I haven’t given birth to a son for the Lin Family, and my mother-in-law has many complaints against me. That’s why I couldn’t openly bring you to the Lin Family and had to sever ties with you. It pains my heart to do these things."

"Xiaofeng, you need to understand me. Honestly, you and I, we are now less than strangers in our relationship, and it pains my heart immensely. When I think of you, I think of my daughter who passed away too soon. In my heart, you are her, she is you, you are my own daughter."

Moved by her own words, Luo Yuzhu continued, "Xiaofeng, mom definitely has you in her heart, but having married into the Lin Family, I have to keep my concern for you hidden and cannot show it. If it weren’t for you not understanding me, I would not have cut off ties with you."

Xiaofeng sat on the side, listening quietly. She stood up in the middle to pour herself a glass of water, then sat down again with the glass in hand, continuing to listen.

Seeing that Xiaofeng didn’t even pour a glass of water for her, Luo Yuzhu felt stifled in her chest. This ungrateful girl, she was pouring out her heartfelt emotions, her great righteousness, and yet Xiaofeng had no reaction whatsoever.

Thinking of the purpose of her visit, Luo Yuzhu couldn’t show her anger, "Thinking of you being pregnant and still working so hard for money, I can’t sleep night after night."

Luo Yuzhu pulled out a passbook from her pocket, holding it in her hand and looking at Xiaofeng with heavy emotion, "Xiaofeng, whether you hate mom or don’t want to acknowledge mom, I won’t argue. I heard Ye Cheng went to another province to treat someone, you need to make sure you eat well at home, so the baby will be healthy and easier to take care of. My coming here in the dead of night was to give you this passbook. Rest assured, nobody from the Lin Family knows I came to see you, I sneaked here. Take it, keep it on you, it will be more handy after the baby is born."

Luo Yuzhu stood up and stuffed the passbook into Xiaofeng’s hand.

Xiaofeng did not refuse but opened the passbook to take a look.

It was the same one she had deposited in the bank previously.

Upon closing the passbook, "So, it turns out I do hold some position in your heart."

Hearing Xiaofeng’s response, He Ximei thought Xiaofeng had accepted her sentiments and apologies. She said with a light chuckle, "Of course, in my heart, you are my daughter. It’s just a pity that I didn’t see you and Ye Cheng getting married. Take this passbook; since mom can’t openly buy you nourishing items, you can buy whatever you want to eat."

She had shown utmost sincerity. It would be unreasonable if she couldn’t win over a girl like this, wouldn’t it?

Xiaofeng put the passbook in her pocket, meeting Luo Yuzhu’s gaze at eye level, "Okay, I’ll buy whatever I want to eat."

Luo Yuzhu’s face lit up with a smile. This was her daughter, the one who listened to her, "Xiaofeng, mom definitely has you in her heart, it’s just that in front of others, I don’t dare to show too much concern for you. You don’t know how much tougher my days in the Lin Family have become."

Just moments ago, Luo Yuzhu had been all smiles, but as she discussed her treatment by the Lin Family, her brows suddenly furrowed, painting the picture of an unfortunate life there: "You don’t know, my mother-in-law finds fault in everything I do, and lately, she’s even considering making me divorce Lin Jianguo so that he can marry another who can bear him a grandson."

Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow, she had to admit, Luo Yuzhu did have her strategies, first playing the sympathy card, then the sentiment card.

If it were the original host herself, she probably would have been convinced by now.

"I’ve been in the Lin Family for many years, and although I haven’t given them a grandson, I’ve contributed my efforts. I’m not getting any younger, and if I divorce Lin Jianguo, it certainly won’t be easy to find another marriage. The most important thing is, if I divorce Lin Jianguo, your and Yueyue’s life will get very difficult. Even if I want to help you in the future, I probably won’t have the ability. So for you two sisters to continue having a good life, I definitely can’t divorce Lin Jianguo. Xiaofeng, you’ll support your mother, right?"

Supporting her to remain in the Lin Family, to secretly help Xiaofeng at the right time.
