“Hi, Uncle Yuanzhen.” Gu Ning went to the front of the car and politely greeted Leng Yuanzhen. She wasn’t annoyed because he followed them, because she knew that he did it for a reason.
“Oh, hi, Ningning!” Leng Yuanzhen felt a little embarrassed.
“If you don’t mind, can we have a talk in the car?” said Gu Ning.
“Of course not.” Leng Yuanzhen nodded and unlocked the car door. Gu Ning then opened the car door of the rear seats before she got inside and closed it.
“Uncle Yuanzhen, why have you been following me the entire time today?” Gu Ning asked on purpose. She actually pushed her luck. If Leng Yuanzhen didn’t know yet, she would keep it a secret and they would go to the cemetery later.
“Well, I want to know who the woman in your car is?” Leng Yuanzhen didn’t bother to beat about the bush and got straight to the point with a serious attitude.
In that case, Gu Ning directly said, “She’s Yunyao, the Leng family’s daughter-in-law, Leng Yuanhan’s wife, and Leng Shaoting’s mother. Do you believe it, or do you think she only looks like Yunyao and is building a relationship with me to try to get close to Leng Shaoting and the Leng family through me?”
Leng Yuanzhen was taken aback by Gu Ning’s words, but he soon accepted that Gu Ning easily figured out his worries, because she was a very smart girl.
“Do you mean she’s really Shaoting’s mother?” asked Leng Yuanzhen. Although he asked that question, Gu Ning’s meaning couldn’t be more obvious and it was hard for Leng Yuanzhen to believe it. For all kinds of reasons, he believed that she simply resembled Yunyao.
“Since she’s Shaoting’s mother, who was the woman that died with his father? Why didn’t she visit the Leng family during the past years?” asked Leng Yuanzhen. He was still suspicious of her and also criticized her.
“Because she lost her memories and couldn’t remember what happened in the past, but I’m sure that she’s Shaoting’s mother. I’ve confirmed it. I’m not dumb, and I wouldn’t trust her just because she closely resembles Shaoting’s mother. However, if you don’t trust me, I have nothing else to say,” said Gu Ning.
Although she and Leng Shaoting had a close relationship, she wasn’t very familiar with the other members of the Leng family, so it was understandable that Leng Yuanzhen had doubt and she wouldn’t be mad.
“Of course I believe that you won’t hurt Shaoting, but I’m just worried that she might have the ability to do that,” said Leng Yuanzhen. It meant that he still didn’t believe that the woman was Yunyao. He was afraid that the woman had successfully deceived Gu Ning.
Although he knew that Gu Ning was a very outstanding girl, there could be people who were cleverer than her in this world.
“Does anyone else know about Yunyao?” asked Gu Ning.
“Your Aunt Yin saw her at Mountain River Restaurant by accident today, and she talked about that with me and your Grandpa Leng after she came home. Because we witnessed Shaoting’s parents’ funeral, we thought that our enemies might be using her against us. I came to Mountain River Restaurant to investigate and saw that it was you who drove her here. I didn’t know whether you’re aware of what happened to Shaoting’s mother, so I believed that she wanted to get closer to Shaoting and the Leng family through you. I kept on spying on her and found that she just went to Shaoting’s house, and you came back later. So I followed you, but I simply wanted to know what you will do together,” said Leng Yuanzhen.
“Well, we plan to visit the grave of Shaoting’s father tonight. I’ve brought her to many familiar places and to meet familiar faces. When she met familiar people, she only felt familiar with them, but she somehow could remember some memories when she went to visit the grave of her old friend, Peng Shiyin. Therefore, we want to see whether she could remember more things after visiting the grave of Shaoting’s father,” said Gu Ning.
Hearing that, Leng Yuanzhen’s body shook a little in fear. They were going to visit the grave of a dead person to get some memories back! Even though Leng Yuanzhen was a man, he didn’t have the courage to visit a grave in the night.
“As for the funeral of Shaoting’s parents, he told me that the body of his mother had a disfigured face when they found it, so the body might not be Yunyao,” said Gu Ning.
Leng Yuanzhen didn’t remember it until Gu Ning said that.
Yunyao’s body indeed had a disfigured face back then, but her necklace was on the body and it lay with Shaoting’s father, so everyone believed that it must be Yunyao’s body.
Anyway, Leng Yuanzhen still had doubt.
“Does Shaoting know of her existence?” asked Leng Yuanzhen.
“Not yet, because she wants to see Shaoting after getting her memories back, so we kept it a secret from Shaoting. Actually, I did advise her to see Shaoting earlier so that Shaoting can tell her what happened before, because it might be helpful for her to regain her memories,” said Gu Ning.
“I don’t think so. To be honest with you, I still can’t believe that she’s really Yunyao. If they see each other right now, Shaoting will be heart-broken if it turns out that she isn’t,” said Leng Yuanzhen.
Gu Ning understood it as well, so she wasn’t mad at all.
“Since you’re all aware of it right now, I think I should help you get rid of the doubt. Yunyao is the Leng family’s daughter-in-law, and you should know that she used to write with an ink brush. I went to their room before, and found many of her notes. Why don’t we go to the Leng family’s house together and let her write in front of you. We’ll see whether she’s really Yunyao. Grandpa Leng also likes calligraphy, so it should be very easy for him to figure it out,” said Gu Ning.
“Sure.” Leng Yuanzhen agreed. Since Gu Ning was so sure that the woman was Yunyao, he also wanted to test and verify it in case unnecessary trouble occurred.
After that, Gu Ning got out of the car and went back to her own car.
Once she was in her car, she said to Jing Yunyao, “Mother, Uncle Yuanzhen, Aunt Yin, and Grandpa Leng have all noticed you. They can’t believe that you’re still alive and that you lost your memories, so they are suspicious of you and afraid that you might have been sent by their enemies to hurt them. We need to go to the Leng family’s house right now to prove your identity.”
“No problem.” Jing Yunyao nodded, because she knew it was necessary. She wasn’t unhappy that the members of the Leng family didn’t trust her, because she had done nothing to prove herself yet.
“How should we prove it?” asked Jing Yunyao.
