Chapter 259 - Don’t Want To Say Goodbye (1)
Su Xiaofei only asked her mother about it out of curiosity, but she still couldn't help but feel moved hearing that Yun Qingrong hadn't treated her lesser, despite her not being her mother's biological child.
She briefly wondered if Yun Qinrong wasn't the one who adopted her, and if she was taken in by another family, there was a chance that she would also experience the same despair the female protagonist had.
Maybe she would be hated by the biological children of her adoptive parents too and they might even abuse her behind their parents' backs. It was a common thing that could happen with adoptive children that were treated well by their foster parents anyway.
"Why did you ask, Feifei? Are you perhaps interested in meeting your real parents?" Yun Qingrong treaded carefully, wanting to know what made her daughter ask her such a question out of the blue.
If ever her Feifei's parents decide to come forward and reveal themselves, Yun Qingrong would take the chance to thank them for giving birth to her daughter. No matter what the circumstances that led them to abandon Feifei in that orphanage were all those years ago, the mere fact that they didn't abort her was enough to give Yun Qingrong a chance to become a mother.
Su Xiaofei smiled and shook her head. She knew what her mother was thinking right now, but there was no need for her mother to find her real parents as she had already met both of them, albeit, without them knowing of her identity.
Bai Qingyue might have some suspicion by now, but Qiao Fengying was still oblivious about her being his real daughter. Su Xiaofei had been pondering if she should reveal the truth to him and end his long search and wait. A part of her wanted Qiao Fengying to acknowledge her, to know that she's still alive, just as he had believed for a long time.
If Yun Qingrong could love her like this, what's more if it was her own father? Now that they are acquainted with each other, Qiao Fengying might also suspect her identity, so why can't she just come clean and reveal herself to him?
"Mama, do you think I should meet them?" She asked her mother's opinion. "What if they don't like me?"
She already knew the answers to this question. Bai Qingyue despised her very existence, while her father had died with a broken heart, trying to locate her for years. The only difference now was that she was aware of her identity.
Yun Qingrong dropped the papers she was reading earlier, in favor of joining her daughter on the couch. She took Su Xiaofei's hand, then rested her head on her daughter's shoulder.
"How can that be? If they know how outstanding and kind their daughter is, I'm sure that they would regret leaving you behind." She replied.
"But if you really want to meet them, I will help you. Knowing who your parents are could complete you." Yun Qingrong pulled away and gently brushed Su Xiaofei's stray locks.
"It's okay, Mama. It's enough that I have you." Su Xiaofei leaned on her mother's touch, reveling in it.
In her past life, she had constantly argued with Yun Qingrong and defied her wishes. When she married Mo Yuchen, it only worsened as she allowed her husband to be involved in Bluemedia.
"Alright. I'll respect your wish then, but if you change your mind, I'll be able to ask your uncles' help to find them. Who knows, maybe they are also looking for you."
"But wouldn't that mean that they love me? If they love me, they shouldn't have abandoned me in the first place." Su Xiaofei frowned with displeasure. If Bai Qingyue had even a hint of maternal love towards her, she wouldn't have abandoned her, and made her father's life miserable.
"Feifei, there are so many instances that are out of our hands. Ones that we cannot control. I want to believe that there's a reason why you ended up there. A beautiful baby like you wouldn't have simply been left to die by her parents. Even a tiger won't dare to eat her cubs." Her mother reminded her.
Su Xiaofei could only sigh inwardly. This only meant that she needed to think of a way to reintroduce herself to Qiao Fengying. She didn't want to compete for Qiao Yuhan's inheritance, but she wanted to experience having a father figure in her life, at least once.
"Thanks, Mama. You are the best." She said, wrapping her arms around her mother. "I'm sorry for making you worry."
She heard Yun Qingrong chuckle at that.
"It's a parent's job to constantly worry about their child, regardless of their age or where they are. As for you, Mama will be here to help as long as you need me."
"Then Mama is bound to stay with me for a long time." Su Xiaofei laughed.
As Yun Qingrong continued to listen to her daughter, she was reminded of how fast time had passed since the first time she held Feifei in her arms. She then thought about Lu Qingfeng's marriage proposal, and an indescribable feeling overcame her.
The young man had decided to take Feifei as his wife in the future, but Yun Qingrong was subtly worried that her daughter would be dragged into an internal family feud among the Lu Clan. In such a powerful and giant clan as the Lu family, it would be hard for Yun Qingrong not to worry about her daughter's future, not when Lu Qingfeng had yet to get absolute control over their massive family.
However, who was she to stop her daughter from seeing Xiao Feng? Truth to be told, Yun Qingrong favored the young man more than she ever did Mo Yuchen. If her Feifei chose to be with Xiao Feng in the future, then she could only give them her blessings and hope that they could be truly happy together.
'Don't grow up too fast, Feifei.' Yun QIngrong thought.. 'Allow me to enjoy more time with you before he takes you away.'
