Wen Ruoshui felt like she had swallowed something and was stuck. Her heart ached as she asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”
The young lady must have been locked up by that bad person for too long and could not come into contact with outsiders. There might be something wrong with her brain. Why would she say such strange things?
Yu’er had just had her coming-of-age ceremony at the beginning of the year. How could she have a daughter her age?
Upon seeing her mother’s sympathetic expression, Ling Sheng cleared her throat and pointed at her face. “Look, look carefully again. Don’t we look alike?”
Nangong Lengyu had initially thought that she was here to save someone, but now that she looked around, she felt that there was a big problem with this young lady. She rejected her heartlessly and coldly. “No.”
Ling Sheng sniffled and muttered aggrievedly, “How are we not alike? We’re obviously identical. Look carefully.”
Upon seeing her approach, Nangong Lengyu subconsciously took a step back. However, when she saw the young lady’s big eyes that were instantly filled with tears, her heart softened. She hurriedly explained, “Don’t cry. Just because I look like your mother means I’m her.”
What nonsense was she spouting? Don’t think that just because she was pretty and likable, she could spout nonsense. She was 18 years old and a virgin. It would be a miracle if such a big daughter like her appeared.
“I’m really your daughter. If you don’t believe me, we can do a blood test on the spot.” Ling Sheng looked at her anxiously. They obviously looked alike, but she could tell at a glance that they looked like mother and daughter.
She only dared to jump out to look for them because the time limit here was about to end and the candles there were about to burn out.
Anyway, after she left, they would forget all their memories of her.
Nangong Lengyu looked at Wen Ruoshui helplessly and secretly pointed at Ling Sheng, giving her a look. What exactly was going on? There must be something wrong with this lady’s brain.
Were they going to leave directly or take this poor girl with them?
From the looks of it, she seemed to be quite smart. However, how could a normal person say that? How would they deal with her after taking her away?
“Mom and Auntie Wen, don’t be afraid. I’m not a bad person.” Ling Sheng smiled at them and pointed behind her. “This is my house. Let’s go in and sit. I’ve baked a small cake. Let’s talk while eating.”
Wen Ruoshui analyzed the situation. The young lady spoke clearly and did not seem to have a problem with her IQ. She asked, “When will that man be back?”
“You’re talking about my husband?” Ling Sheng smiled. “He has something important to deal with today. He’ll be back tonight!”
“You said he’s your husband?” Wen Ruoshui’s eyes widened suddenly, and there was a faint fire in her eyes. She clenched her fists. “Do you know what you’re talking about? How old are you? Do your parents know you’re like this?”
Ling Sheng blinked her big innocent eyes and looked at Nangong Lengyu.
Nangong Lengyu felt goosebumps all over her body from her gaze. Enraged, she shouted in a low voice, “Why are you looking at me? I’m not your mother! Have you seen a three-year-old give birth to a child in the world?”
If she was her daughter, she would have given birth at three years old. It was too ridiculous and laughable. However, this young lady’s gaze was too sincere, making her feel dazed and think she was really her daughter.
“You might not believe me, but I come from 22 years later.” Ling Sheng looked at the duo seriously and explained, “I’m already an adult. My son is already three years old. I don’t know why I became younger when I returned here.”
Wen Ruoshui and Nangong Lengyu were both atheists. They were unwilling to believe such a ridiculous thing from the bottom of their hearts, but her serious expression made them waver.
“Why don’t we go in and take a look?” Nangong Lengyu tugged at Wen Ruoshui and whispered, “Are you sure she was the one who was harmed?”
Why did she feel that the two of them were the ones who were about to be harmed by her?
Wen Ruoshui shot her a look and asked the young lady, “Are there surveillance cameras here?”
Ling Sheng shook her head. “No.”
Only then did Wen Ruoshui nod in agreement and follow her in.
Ling Sheng ran to the kitchen happily and poured a glass of lemon water. Then, she poured a glass of fresh orange juice and brought it out for the duo.
After Wen Ruoshui and Nangong Lengyu saw the young lady give them the drinks, she turned around and ran to the kitchen. They looked at each other.
“How did she know that I like orange juice?” Nangong Lengyu’s face was full of question marks. She then looked at the lemon water in front of Wen Ruoshui. “How did she know that you like lemon water?”
Wen Ruoshui’s heart skipped a beat. What the young lady said was really unbelievable. However, there were so many magical things in the world. Who could be sure?
She said confidently, “From a psychological point of view, she’s not lying. A liar’s micro expressions and small actions will betray her.”
Nangong Lengyu did not dare to drink the orange juice. In such an unfamiliar environment, she felt a little scared when she faced a young lady who kept saying strange things. “Then you’re saying that I’m really her mother?”
Wen Ruoshui said, “You look a lot like her.”
Nangong Lengyu glared at her. “Don’t joke with me.”
Wen Ruoshui did not want to believe it either, but there were some things that did not exist just because one did not believe them. “Actually, we can do a paternity test. We’ll know if what she said is true.”
“She’s out.” Nangong Lengyu told her to stop talking. The young lady had come out.
Ling Sheng carried a plate of fruit platter and smiled. “You guys eat first. I’ll go get the cake.”
Nangong Lengyu looked at the fruit platter in front of her and felt the veins on her forehead throb. Mangoes, kiwis, grapes, and watermelons were all her favorite fruits.
She stared deeply at the young lady’s back view as she ran to the kitchen and patted her head. Impossible. What future? Did she think she was filming a sci-fi movie?
Wen Ruoshui reminded her, “They’re all your favorites.”
Nangong Lengyu gritted her teeth and forced out a sentence. “I know.”
Her mind was in a mess now. This young lady would not lie to them like this. There was no need to lie to them either. Then, what did she want from them?
Wen Ruoshui seemed to have seen through her thoughts. She sighed and said, “I don’t see any ulterior motives in her. She’s surprised and happy to see us.”
When she was in university, she had taken a psychology class. Although she was not a top-notch professional, she had no problem analyzing a person’s character based on their words and actions.
Nangong Lengyu could naturally feel that the young lady was too sincere. She was so sincere that she was too embarrassed to reject her.
