Chapter 4416: Trapped In Darkness (6)

To his surprise, Yang Meirong kept shaking her head.
“Chu, stop giving me money. I already have a lot of money. Mian and Zhixin always give me money.”
Yang Meirong refused to accept it. She wasn’t a money-grubber to begin with.
“Mom, it’s not a lot of money. Take it. It’s just a small token of my appreciation. I’ve been busy recently and haven’t been able to visit you… You must take care of yourself.”
After Qin Chu’s repeated persuasion, Yang Meirong finally accepted the money.
Then, the two of them chatted casually.
Yang Meirong was very happy that Qin Chu agreed to stay for lunch.
She instructed the nanny to prepare some chives and pork dumplings.
Then, she decided to make a few dishes for Qin Chu.
The two chatted and talked about Huo Mian’s childhood.
Qin Chu was very interested in Huo Mian’s childhood.
With Huo Mian’s personality, she rarely talked about the past.
Therefore, when Yang Meirong occasionally talked about how naughty Huo Mian was when she was young…
Qin Chu liked what he heard.
“Mom, tell me more about Mian’s childhood. She must be really cute.”
Upon hearing what Qin Chu said, Yang Meirong became even more excited. She walked to the cabinet and took out an old photo album.
“Let me show you a picture of this girl when she was young.”
Yang Meirong took out a photo of Huo Mian when she was two.
There was a red dot on her forehead. She was dressed in a very old-fashioned way, but her chubby little face was very cute.
“When Mian was born, your Uncle Jing and I didn’t have much money. Huo Zhenghai didn’t care about us, so we couldn’t afford to give Mian much milk powder. We couldn’t afford it, so we bought her some cheap rice noodles. She was a good girl and ate everything we gave her. Plus, she was a big eater. I even complained to Uncle Jing that she might become a big fatty in the future and that it would be hard for her to find a boyfriend.” Yang Meirong laughed.
Qin Chu also smiled…
This was the first time he had seen his wife when she was two years old.
Yang Meirong flipped to the back again…
“This is when Mian was six years old. I had just given birth to Zhixin not too long ago… Your Uncle Jing and I were focused on taking care of him, so we didn’t have much time to take care of her. Back then, she was already in kindergarten. When she came back from school, she would sometimes help me coax Zhixin… She was very obedient and never picky when it came to food. She never asked me for new clothes… Mian is such a sensible child… I’ve always been proud of being her mother.”
Yang Meirong started sobbing…
Qin Chu knew that his mother-in-law didn’t know Huo Mian’s real identity.
Huo Mian also didn’t seem to want to tell her everything.
It was a conversation from a long time ago.
Huo Mian made it clear that Yang Meirong was her mother. It wasn’t easy for her mother to raise her, so she decided to protect this white lie for the rest of her life.
She said to not let her know, not let her grieve and she’ll be her daughter forever.
“Mom, don’t cry…”
“Oh, I’m fine. When people get old, they become sentimental… I feel bad for my daughter when I think about the hard times we went through… Your Uncle Jing and I really doted on Zhixin more, and Mian has been working hard for this family all these years… Chu…”
At this point, Yang Meirong grabbed Qin Chu’s hand.
“Mian is still young. It’s okay for her to have a miscarriage. You guys can just keep trying. Don’t treat her badly, okay? My daughter is a really good girl… Don’t let her down.”
“Mom, I won’t. I love Mian very much. I won’t let her down in this or my next life,” Qin Chu promised his mother-in-law in an extremely gentle voice.
He even made a promise in his next life…
Meanwhile, in the underwater palace…
Su Yu woke up groggily and found himself trapped in a room filled with white crystals.
