When Mu Huan saw her face clearly, she was stunned as though she had been struck by lightning. This… How could this be… How could this be…
“What’s wrong?” Bo Junyan frowned.
“She… she looks like my mother… She’s just a little older than the mother I remember…” Mu Huan said in a daze.
Bo Junyan looked over.
“My mother and I don’t look alike, but if you look closely, you should be able to tell that my face shape is very similar to hers.”
Bo Junyan rarely paid attention to other women. He only had an impression of the other women he had met before. When he saw her again, he would know her identity, but he would not look at her carefully. He would not let her appearance occupy his mind.
Hence, he knew about the existence of Ling Wei’s stepmother, but he had never taken a closer look at her. Now that his wife had said so, he took a closer look and realized that the other party’s face shape was very similar to his wife’s.
“Didn’t your mother pass away long ago?”
“Yes… My mom died when I… was nine years old…” When she was ten, her father remarried, and when she was 11, she was chased out of the house.
Bo Junyan was about to say something.
“My mom doesn’t have a twin sister. She’s been an only child since she was young. I’m very sure about this.” It was precisely because of the passing of his only daughter that her grandfather’s health became worse and he left the world so early.
Bo Junyan asked, “You think she might be your mother?”
Mu Huan didn’t speak, but her body started to tremble. Her mother had passed away, so it couldn’t be her mother. But if it wasn’t, why did they look so similar? It could be said that they were identical.
But if she was her mother, why did she become Ling Wei’s stepmother? If she was alive, why didn’t she come back to look for her and her granny?
Seeing her like this, Bo Junyan pulled her forward.
“Where are you going?” Mu Huan snapped back to her senses and refused to move forward.
“Aren’t you suspecting that she’s your mother? Let’s go take a look and ask.” It was useless to be so nervous.
“I don’t want…” Mu Huan, who had always been clear and decisive, was now afraid and didn’t dare to go forward.
She thought that this lady was her mother, but she was also afraid.
For a moment, she couldn’t tell what was going through her mind. She just didn’t dare to go forward and confirm it.
This was the first time Bo Junyan had seen Mu Huan like this, so he did not force her to go.
When Xue Yun looked over at them, she saw Mu Huan as well.
The person who had appeared in the newspaper a few days ago suddenly appeared in front of her, making her body tremble uncontrollably.
She was afraid that Mu Huan would recognize her, but if she couldn’t, she would feel upset.
This feeling was indescribable.
“What’s wrong?” Ling Feng asked when he sensed her strange behavior.
“N-nothing…” Xue Yun shook her head after regaining her senses.
Ling Feng felt that she did not look like it was nothing. Hence, he followed her line of sight. However, as Mu Huan had pulled Bo Junyan away, he did not see anything.
He felt that Xue Yun had been acting a little strange recently, but he had a lot of things to do during such an occasion. Hence, he did not probe further.
Mu Huan pulled Bo Junyan to the side and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
Bo Junyan: “…”
Although he did not understand why she was pulling him to hide and why she was so nervous, he would let his wife do whatever she wanted.
