Chapter 576: You Are My Mommy (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next day, the father and daughter woke up early.
After breakfast, Su Shengjing helped Su Jiu get dressed. Then, he carried her out of the house and drove toward An Yuan’s apartment.
It had rained last night, so the ground was still wet and the sky in the city was gray.
An Yuan had not slept at all the previous night. When she saw the computer screen showing that the time was already eight in the morning, she got up and pulled open the curtains in the room. Then, she returned to the computer and continued to read the private messages the netizens had sent her.
The actress had said on Weibo that as long as anyone provided her useful clues, she would pay them a hundred thousand yuan. If anyone helped her find her child, the amount would increase to two million yuan. Since that announcement, An Yuan had received countless private messages every day. She was about to go blind from staring at the computer screen, yet she still refused to stop, afraid that she would miss out on any valuable information.
A large group of her loyal fans had helped her investigate. However, even after searching for two days, they still couldn’t find any clues.
After all, how could the netizens know more about the situation than the people directly involved in the situation? Still, quite a number of liars provided fake news to receive the rewards.
An Yuan rubbed her brows. She had not rested well for the past few days, leaving herself exhausted.
She hadn’t eaten anything since the night before. She hadn’t even had a sip of water. Her stomach loudly growled. She had to get up. An Yuan wanted to make a simple breakfast before returning to read the private messages again. Maybe she would have time to ask the private investigator if he had found any leads. It was about then that she heard the doorbell ring.
An Yuan was stunned. She thought that it might be Xue Zhen, and her expression suddenly turned cold.
She walked over to open the door. However, she saw the father and daughter pair outside the door, surprising her. An Yuan subconsciously reached out to tidy up her slightly messy hair, then forced a smile. “Oh, it’s you two. Why are you here so early?”
Su Jiu noticed that the pretty sister’s face was pale and haggard, and the circles under her eyes were very dark. An Yuan’s rest must have been severely affected because she had been busy looking for her child. Realizing this, Su Jiu felt suffocated.
Pretty Sister is my mother.
It feels like a dream.
When Su Shengjing saw An Yuan, he was suddenly embarrassed.
Even though along the way, he had thought about how to tell her the truth countless times, all his words got stuck in his throat the moment he saw her.
A strange atmosphere spread between them.
Seeing the father and daughter remain silent, An Yuan was a little surprised. Her gaze landed on Su Jiu’s face, and she habitually reached out to pat her head. “Little Jiu, what’s wrong? Do you need something from me? Why don’t you come in first?”
“Big Sister…” Su Jiu started softly, but after she opened her mouth, she realized that she should be calling her “Mommy.” But calling her Mommy directly would scare her, right?
It wasn’t easy for anyone to accept a long-lost daughter appearing out of nowhere, just like what had happened when Su Jiu had first met her father and told him that she was his daughter!
Embarrassed, Su Shengjing coughed lightly as he led Su Jiu into the room. He closed the door behind him. Inside the room, he didn’t look at An Yuan, but at a spot on the floor. “Erm… I came looking for you today because I have something to tell you.”
“What is it? Could it be that you have news of my baby?” An Yuan jokingly said as she turned to pour water for the father and daughter.
Su Shengjing looked at her back and pursed his lips. Mustering his courage, he replied, “Yes, about that. We found your child.”
An Yuan froze, her eyes widening in shock.
Her heart started to thump wildly. She immediately turned around and stared at him with her beautiful eyes, anxiously asking, “Really? How did you find him? Where is he now?!”
