Chapter 406: Chapter 406 Her Daughter (2)

Chu Jinyu suddenly grasped her right hand and exclaimed, “How did you come to possess this ring?”

Upon seeing Chu Jinyu’s great loss of composure because of the ring, Su Lianxi’s previously anxious heart immediately settled down.

She knew she had bet correctly.

Su Lianxi bowed her head slightly, revealing a properly timed hint of shyness, “That is exactly why I have come today, Madam. This ring… it is a keepsake from my mother. I noticed the ring on your hand seemed very similar to my mother’s, so I took the liberty of disturbing you.”

“A keepsake…” Chu Jinyu’s eyes widened as she stared fixedly at her, “Good child, tell me, what was your mother’s name?”

“Zhou Rong.” Su Lianxi smiled timidly, “Madam, did you know my mother?”

“Zhou Rong.” Chu Jinyu repeated, staring at her blankly, as if looking through her at someone else.

It took a while before she nodded, “Yes, I knew your mother. As you have seen, I possess a very similar ring.”

With that, Chu Jinyu extended her own right hand, placing it beside Su Lianxi’s for comparison.

Her face filled with an expression of reminiscence and nostalgia, it took her a long time to speak again, “These two rings… they are a pair. If you place them side by side, the wave patterns on the inside align precisely with one another.”

Upon hearing this, Su Lianxi immediately took off her ring and handed it to Chu Jinyu.

Chu Jinyu took the ring, removed her own, and placed both rings together in the sunlight; indeed, the wave patterns inside fit together seamlessly.

Chu Jinyu’s hands began to tremble.

It took her a good while to steady her emotions before returning Su Lianxi’s ring, “I apologize, I was beside myself. Child, tell me, what is your name?”

“Su Lianxi. Madam, my name is Su Lianxi,” she enunciated each syllable carefully.

“Lianxi…” Chu Jinyu murmured softly and, after a long moment, smiled, “Such a lovely name.”

After speaking, she assessed Su Lianxi steadily, with a troubled and sorrowful gaze.

Feeling awkward, Su Lianxi bowed her head, but her heart involuntarily tightened with tension. It was not until this moment that she realized her plan had indeed too many loopholes; but by this point, she had no way out.

Fortunately, Chu Jinyu did not harbor any suspicions, her eyes quickly filling with tears.

“Lianxi, tell me, when is your birthday?” Chu Jinyu asked gently.

Su Lianxi immediately mentioned Su Zhixi’s birthday.

Chu Jinyu let out a long sigh of relief and closed her eyes.

After a while, she opened her eyes and took hold of her hand, “Lianxi, I was a very good friend of your mother, and she gave me this ring. It’s a pity that we parted over a certain matter and later lost contact. I never expected to meet her daughter in my lifetime.”

“Madam…” Su Lianxi’s face showed a moved expression, “It’s a regret that my mother passed away too early, or you two would not have missed so many years.”

“Yes, it’s a pity she left us too soon…” Chu Jinyu said, her gaze settling intently on Su Lianxi’s face, her expression agitated and mournful, “Tell me, how have you been these years?”

“I…” Su Lianxi’s heart began to thump wildly, knowing that success or failure hinged on this moment, “I’ve been quite well, Madam.”

Speaking, she showed a pitiable smile.
