After a while, Mo Rao’s gaze locked onto a woman in the crowd. She was in her forties or fifties, but had obviously taken good care of herself. She was still attractive and charming.
She chatted happily with the eldest son and youngest son of the Qu family. The three siblings looked a little similar.
That woman was probably the third daughter of the Qu family, Qu Xue.
Compared to her two brothers, Qu Xue was very low-key. However, being low-key didn’t mean that she was incompetent. She could be considered a strategist behind the scenes. It was said that Old Madam Qu thought highly of her.
The moment she saw Qu Xue, Mo Rao was shocked.
Because Qu Xue looked like Mo Rao’s mother!
However, their auras were very different. Mo Rao’s mother was a kind-hearted doctor who always seemed friendly and levelheaded. Her gaze was always firm and calm, while Qu Xue looked like a shrewd businesswoman. Her aura was sharper, and her eyes revealed a sense of scrutiny and distance.
Mo Yuan had been separated from his parents since he was young and couldn’t remember his mother’s face clearly, so his reaction wasn’t as intense as Mo Rao’s. He only felt that that woman resembled Mo Rao.
Even Qu You sensed it. She looked at Mo Rao and then at her aunt. She suddenly noticed that the two of them looked a little similar.
She hadn’t realized it in the past, but now that they were standing together, she could feel that something was fishy.
Qu Xue also saw Mo Rao. After the initial shock, she felt a sense of fear, but she quickly calmed down.
“Brother, did you see her?” Mo Rao asked softly.
“I did. She looks a little like you,” Mo Yuan replied with a frown.
The siblings were confused now. Was their mother the younger daughter of the Qu family? Why did she go missing back then? Didn’t the Qu family look for her?
From Mo Yuan’s investigation, their mother seemed to have been deliberately abandoned, so they had to face the Qu family carefully.
An old woman with a walking stick appeared. She was Old Madam Qu.
When she saw Mo Rao, she froze for a moment. Then, she grabbed Mo Rao’s hand. “Little Ye!”
Mo Rao had a strong feeling that the name Little Ye was her mother’s former name.
“Mom, you’ve got the wrong person!” Qu Xue immediately came in front of Old Madam Qu and separated her hand from Mo Rao’s. Then, she said to Mo Rao apologetically, “I’m sorry, Miss Mo. My mother is a little confused.”
Old Madam Qu also recognized Mo Rao and came back to her senses. “So it’s Miss Mo. I have a bad memory and mistook you for someone else.”
“It’s okay, Madam Qu. Perhaps I look a little like someone very important to you.” Mo Rao’s gaze subconsciously swept towards Qu Xue.
Qu Xue smiled insincerely and nodded before helping Old Madam Qu leave.
She didn’t seem to want to talk to Mo Rao.
“Brother, I’m going to the washroom.” Mo Rao had mixed feelings. She didn’t like the liveliness here and wanted to spend some time alone.
“Okay.” Mo Yuan nodded.
Mo Rao went to the washroom alone. As she stared at her reflection in the mirror, she thought of her mother, who had died many years ago. Her heart ached.
Her mother was unlucky to have lost contact with her maiden family, but she was also lucky to have met her grandparents.
Now, her grandmother and grandfather were gone, and so was her mother. She was all alone. Fortunately, she had found her brother. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t know how to live all on her own.
After staying alone for a while, Mo Rao calmed down a little. She left the washroom and prepared to look for Mo Yuan.
When Mo Rao passed a corner, she was grabbed by a pair of arms and locked in the room beside her.
“Let go of me! Let go of me!” Mo Rao shouted in panic. After she turned around, she realized that it was Fu Ying.
Fu Ying’s expression was ugly and filled with menace. As he stared at Mo Rao, he recalled the scene of her holding Shen Feng’s arm just now. His possessiveness began to act up again.
He was worried that he would fight with Shen Feng in public, so he restrained himself and chose to talk to Mo Rao in private.
He knew that Mo Rao wouldn’t give him a chance to be alone with her, so he could only force her.
“Fu Ying, what do you want?” Mo Rao’s face was pale and her eyes were filled with vigilance. She took two steps back and reached out to open the door.
However, Fu Ying took a step forward and reached out to lock the door. Then, he asked, “Why were you holding his hand?”
