Then, An Xiaotui looked around the room again.

Then he walked up to a wardrobe as large as a whole wall and opened a door at random. He felt something roll out from inside the wardrobe.

She lowered her head and saw a small pillow. The pillow looked a little old, but it was very clean.

She bent down and picked up the small pillow. As she saw the image printed on it, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

When she was chatting with her son before, she asked how her son recognized her. Her son told her that there was an image of her printed on the small pillow, so he recognized her at once.

The son also told her that he was afraid the maid would wash the small pillow too hard and ruin it, so he washed it himself.

It's clear how much the son loves this little pillow.

Thinking about what Yisheng said, that his son doesn't talk much might be because his mother wasn't around when he was young... The more An Xiaotu thought about it, the more she felt she owed her son too much, and her heart ached unbearably.

After a while.

Hearing the knock on the door, An Xiaotu hurriedly withdrew her attention, put the small pillow back in the closet, and then hurried to open the door.

The old butler standing outside the door said to her, "Second Miss, Master wants me to call you down for lunch."

"Oh, alright." An Xiaotu nodded in response and walked out of the room.

After closing the door, I followed the old butler downstairs.

Tang Yucheng, sitting on the sofa, raised his cold eyes to look at her, then got up and walked towards the dining room.

The old butler was a bit confused. The master said this woman was the young master's mother, his wife. However, the master’s attitude towards the second mistress was too cold; he didn't seem like a husband at all.

Knowing he had forgotten everything, including their feelings for each other, An Xiaotu still couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache seeing his cold attitude towards her.

He took a deep breath and sat down across from him.

Tang Yucheng ate his lunch as if he were alone, without saying a word to An Xiaotu.

After finishing his lunch, he simply told the old housekeeper, "I'm going to work. If there are any requests or instructions from the Second Madam, please do your best to fulfill them."

"Alright, sir, drive safely." The old butler respectfully saw the master off.

Looking back at An Xiaotu who was still sitting at the dinner table, chewing slowly and savoring her meal, the old housekeeper couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that Master saw how much the young master liked Miss An, so he simply married her in, making Miss An the young master's stepmother

If that were true…… The old butler secretly observed An Xiaotu again, thinking to himself: Young Master had lived outside for a few days before, and he seemed rounder. It could be seen that this second young mistress was very good to Young Master, she would be Young Master's stepmother in the future, she shouldn't mistreat Young Master, right

An Xiaotu could feel the old housekeeper's gaze fixed on her, taking her in. It made her feel very uncomfortable.

After finishing the meal, which tasted a bit bland like chewing wax, I put down my chopsticks and went back to my room.

In the room

An Xiaotu sat on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the scenery. She wrestled with her feelings of hesitation and indecision for a long time before finally dialing the phone.

North of the city

An mother hesitated for a moment before answering the call, seeing that it was an unfamiliar number from City C.

"Hello, this is

who is speaking

"

"Mom," cried An Xiaotu, tears streaming down her face like broken beads.

On the other end of the phone, when An’s mother heard that voice say “Mom,” she was struck dumb. She froze, unable to recover for a long time.

"Mom, it's Xiao Tu. I'm sorry..." Xiao Tu cried, his voice trembling.

Thinking back to when Yu Cheng said his wife had died, her parents must have thought she was gone too; back then, when she suddenly disappeared after being caught by Si Kong Shao Tang and rumors of her death spread...

Over the years, her parents must have lived a very painful life because of her 'death'.

"Little...little bunny..." An mother's eyes were filled with tears, her hands clutching the phone tightly, her voice trembling with disbelief.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disappear back then, I'm so sorry..." An Xiaotu didn't know what to say, so she could only keep apologizing.

Over the phone, there was a long silence. Then An's mother’s choked voice sounded again, “You… you said you were Xiaotu”

"Mom, just a second, I'll call you on video."

After hanging up the phone, An Xiaotu immediately made a video call to her mother to confirm that she was still alive and well. It really was her.

When An mother saw the video call coming in, she immediately answered it without hesitation.

Seeing the face that caused her both pain and longing in the video, An's mother couldn't hold back her tears and burst into sobs.

"Little Rabbit, is it really you... Where have you been all these years How could you not even send a word back to Mom and Dad these past few years Do you know how much pain we've been in, thinking you were dead You heartless child, have you inflicted so much suffering on your parents like this Little Rabbit, why have you lost so much weight Are you having a hard time out there Where are you now..." An mother was overcome with emotion, crying and speaking incoherently as she thought of things to say.

An Xiaotu looked at her mother's graying temples and haggard appearance in the video, feeling immense pain and sorrow.

"Mom, how have you and Dad been all these years" she asked through tears.

“Things are a little rough, your father and I are almost worn out by you. An Xiaotu, you scoundrel, did I dig your ancestral grave in my past life You torment me like this, for so many years you haven't even sent a word, now you call back just to do what” An’s mother cried out angrily.

Over the years, she and her husband have always considered their young grandson as a continuation of their daughter's life. And Yu Cheng would bring his grandson back to visit them every other month, otherwise, she really didn't know what meaning there was in living.

"Mom. I'm sorry..." An Xiaotu cried out in apology.

She not only owed her son a lot, but she also let down her parents, causing them pain for so many years.

"Little Rabbit, where are you now" As if she had thought of something, An's mother didn't continue scolding An Xiaotui and venting her anger. Instead, she asked with incredible anxiety, "Have you joined MLM these years, that's why you can't contact your parents"

"Mom, I'm in Yucheng right now. He just brought me back today." An Xiaotu sniffled hard and answered truthfully.

"Little Rabbit, are you in City C" Upon hearing this, Mother An felt a wave of calm wash over her. She immediately followed up with, "Tell Mom, what exactly happened back then And where have you been all these years What have you been doing"

She secretly decided to tell her husband immediately upon arriving home that their daughter was safe and sound, and then fly to City C to confirm her daughter's well-being.ng at the airport.
