Sze Lingyun nodded in agreement with Wu Pingting.

Her mother’s facial features were completely different from Zhou Menglu’s and Zhou Mengjing’s.

Even though the photo Nuannuan had shown them was blurry, her mother looked like a lady from ancient times holding an oil-paper umbrella in the misty rain even just standing on a path. Even though the photo had been taken when her mother was very young, it was obvious that she possessed a rare charm. It was simply not something that Zhou Menglu and Zhou Mengjing, her two sisters, could compare to.

Sze Lingyun had always wondered why she had a noble aura despite being from the most ordinary family possible. Even attending a socialite’s banquet, she would stand out from the crowd. Now she knew that it was because she had a mother who could charm people even just standing still.

Her serenity and nobility seemed to be genetic, running through her daughter’s blood too.

Noticing that no one was talking, Wu Pingting said, “It’s alright. You haven’t even figured out who you yourself are yet, but the mystery of your mother’s identity has already been revealed.”

Seeing Sze Lingyun smile bitterly, Wu Pingting smiled back and held her arm. “It’s okay, it’s okay, Sister Sze. Regardless of who you turn out to be, I’ll never leave you. You’re my sister! Our Wu family will back you up and accept you as part of our family forever! Who knows? Maybe your luck will be like Nuannuan’s. Despite having such a terrible father and stepmother, maybe your mother is actually from a prestigious family.”

Sze Lingyun genuinely liked everyone in the Wu family, and she liked Wu Pingting the most. Even though she had only known Wu Pingting for a day or so, she could not help but feel very close to her. Looking at the girl who was smiling like a blooming flower in front of her, Sze Lingyun could not help but stretch out her hand and gently flick her forehead.

Nangong Nuannuan smiled as she watched the two interact. The corners of her lips curled upwards despite her efforts to resist it.

“I don’t know if Senior Sister’s mother is a noble lady, but if Zhou Hua is really her mother, then… Senior Sister should be a member of the Wu family and your uncle’s biological daughter.”

“What?”

The two other girls spoke in unison. They looked at Nangong Nuannuan in disbelief, waiting anxiously on her explanation.

Wu Pingting liked Sze Lingyun, and Sze Lingyun liked the Wu family. They were a welcoming and honorable family.

Nangong Nuannuan was well aware of how much Sze Lingyun probably yearned for family affection, as she herself was a girl who had lacked fatherly and motherly love since a young age.

Thus, she did want to not tease Sze Lingyun and Wu Pingting. Nangong Nuannuan retrieved her phone again, she pulled up another picture, and said, “This is a portrait that Uncle Wu had 20 years ago. His portrait heavily resembles that lady. I’m almost certain that your mother was the person who saved Uncle Wu when he fell off the cliff.

“Unfortunately, the Zhou family lived in a remote place 20 years ago, and they were the only family in their area. Even though they also had their own village, for some reason, your mother would always cover her face with a silk scarf every time she went out. Thus, it was expected that the villagers didn’t know what she looked like. Uncle Wu looked for your mother for a whole year. After he was done with Sea District, he searched almost every nook and cranny in J District and Z District. So, I speculate that, besides the Zhou family, no one else knows what your mother looked like. That’s why even though the Wu family offered a huge reward, they couldn’t find the woman that Uncle Wu so badly wanted to find.”
