She walked to the door. When she saw the caller ID on her phone, ‘Jingwan’, Zhou Manli was stunned.
She held the phone and suddenly turned around. She saw a girl standing in the shop with empty hands. That face was indeed her daughter’s!
In that case…
Who was the caller?
“Hello? Mom, why aren’t you speaking?
“My press conference has ended successfully. I’m going to have dinner with a few uncles now. I might be back later. Don’t worry, I love you!”
It was undeniable that compared to the girl with Song Jingwan’s face in the shop, the tone of the person on the phone sounded more like her daughter.
But if that was the case, who was the person in the shop?
Zhou Manli’s heart raced. She asked, “Jingwan, where are you now?”
“Huh?” Song Jingwan felt odd. “Didn’t I just say that I’m going to have dinner with the investors and some of the higher-ups? Mom, don’t worry, with the bodyguards and my manager following me, no one will dare to touch me.”
The truth was, Zhou Manli was not worried about this problem.
She gave a perfunctory humph and then told Song Jingwan to pay attention to her safety. After that, she quietly hung up the phone.
She quickly dialed Song Jingwan’s bodyguard’s number. In the end, she found out that Song Jingwan was really eating out. Even Zhou Manli herself didn’t know what to say to describe her current mood.
Mu Wei rubbed her ears. Seeing that Zhou Manli was sizing her up with an unfamiliar and flustered gaze, she could roughly guess who the caller was.
She must have already realized that she was not her daughter, right?
A soft voice sounded like a game NPC: “If she’s considerate, you have to be more considerate than her. If she’s gentle, you have to be gentler than her. If she’s obedient and outstanding, you have to do better than her. Borrow her strength, it’s time to check the results. Go, let me see what you’re capable of…”
“You are…”
Zhou Manli gripped her phone, her lips trembling slightly.
She looked at Mu Wei with a burning gaze. If her gaze could materialize, it would definitely turn into a hand and caress her cheek.
It was really similar, almost exactly the same.
Even as a mother, she did not notice they were two different people.
Compared to Song Yaoyao, the girl in front of her was more like her twin daughter.
“I’m sorry, Auntie, I’m really not your daughter,” Mu Wei said before she got the chance to continue. Her eyes were slightly red as she squeezed out a few tears, “I’m sorry that I didn’t clarify things at the first moment. You were so good to your daughter that I was beginning to wish that I had a mother like you.”
She looked like she was about to cry. Her thin shoulders drooped down, looking very pitiful.
Even looking at her face, Zhou Manli couldn’t get angry. Moreover, she was preoccupied with another question in her heart.
“I-It’s okay. By the way, child, your parents are…”
As soon as this question came out of her mouth, Zhou Manli regretted it.
She looked at the young girl’s tears, which were like a broken string of beads. As she apologized to her, she quickly walked past her as if she wanted to leave.
Everyone in the shop was confused by this unexpected turn of events.
What on earth was going on? What was this mother and daughter doing?
“Manli, why is Jingwan crying? Did she suffer at the press conference?”
Zhou Manli moved her lips, not knowing how to explain.
Was she supposed to reveal that the person in front of her was not her daughter and she had made a mistake?
